In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Richard Stern, an experienced leader in the nonprofit sector, specifically in mental health services. Richard shared his journey from intern to executive leadership at Door of Hope, a social services nonprofit that provides vital mental health support across the tri-state area. Our discussion centered around the critical topic of team dynamics within nonprofits—specifically, how to effectively recruit, develop, and reward talent. Richard emphasized the importance of building a cohesive team through thoughtful recruitment, particularly focusing on nurturing young talent who can be molded to fit the organization's culture. He highlighted the significance of creating a supportive environment where team members can bond through informal team-building events, which can enhance morale and foster a collaborative atmosphere. We also explored the misconceptions leaders often have about team dynamics, particularly the need for a nuanced understanding of individual team members' needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Richard stressed the importance of recognizing the emotional and psychological aspects of team interactions, advocating for a more personalized approach to leadership. Additionally, we discussed the continuum of recruiting, assimilating, developing, and rewarding team members, with Richard providing insights on how to incentivize employees effectively. He pointed out that understanding the timing and significance of rewards can greatly enhance loyalty and performance. As we wrapped up, Richard shared valuable advice on thinking outside the box and remaining open to innovative solutions in the nonprofit landscape. This episode is a must-listen for nonprofit leaders looking to strengthen their teams and create a thriving organizational culture.

What does it say about our society when hatred gets financially rewarded? This question lies at the heart of our raw, unfiltered discussion about a disturbing playground incident that's gone viral across America. When a woman was recorded calling a child the N-word repeatedly over a minor playground dispute, she launched a crowdfunding campaign on a platform known for supporting extremist causes. The shocking result? Over $750,000 in donations and counting, with her goal now reaching toward $1 million. Meanwhile, the man who stood up against this racism by recording the incident has received death threats, forcing him to relocate his family with just $40,000 in crowdfunded support.We explore the painful reality that this child will carry this trauma forever, robbed of the innocence that should be every child's birthright. As one host poignantly puts it, "Our children are not allowed to be children." The incident exposes not just one person's racism, but a disturbing undercurrent of support for such behavior when donors – many initially using variations of Hitler's name – eagerly contribute to reward it.The conversation broadens to examine how modern crowdfunding has transformed community support, for better and worse. While legitimate causes benefit from wider reach, the platforms also enable exploitation and grifting. We reflect on the value of direct community engagement – volunteering at food banks, supporting teachers, helping neighbors – as antidotes to the disconnection that allows hatred to flourish.By the end of our conversation, despite tackling difficult subject matter, we find ourselves reaffirming the need to use our "powers for good" and rediscover joy through meaningful human connection. The path forward isn't easy, but as we've seen throughout history, the brilliance and resilience of those facing discrimination continues to shine through even the darkest moments.Thank you for stopping by.

Show Notes:Summary:In this episode, Rick clears up one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness world: the idea that self-punishment leads to progress. With clarity, humor, and science-backed insight, he breaks down the real meaning of negative reinforcement, why most people are using it wrong, and what strategies actually work when it comes to lasting behavior change. If you've ever tried to guilt yourself into losing weight, this episode is your permission to stop—and start building smarter habits instead.Key Takeaways:Punishment suppresses behavior but doesn't teach better habits. Without learning, the same behaviors resurface.Negative reinforcement is misunderstood. It's about removing barriers—not punishing slip-ups.Controlling your environment can help—but only up to a point. Real life brings temptation no matter how clean your pantry is.Positive reinforcement builds lasting change. Rewarding small wins reinforces consistency and identity.Tying rewards to behavior, not just results, keeps motivation alive. This builds momentum long before big milestones arrive.Clarity creates progress. Knowing the difference between reinforcement and punishment changes how you approach every choice.Ditch the guilt and start reinforcing what works. Apply one takeaway this week and watch your mindset shift. Want to go further? Tune into the next episode to learn how to build your own personal reward system that keeps you going—no matter what the scale says.

Join me as I sit down with the incredible Emma Tessler, the founder and CEO of Ninety Five Media, and host of the podcast Stop Scrolling, Start Scaling. In this episode, we discuss Emma's impressive and early rise to success as well as her life journey that encompasses values, money, and gratitude. Emma's story is filled with early examples of leadership and initiative, from self-organizing fundraisers as a child to managing part-time jobs in high school while maintaining stellar academic records.    She shares her early passion for interior design after taking a class in high school, which eventually led to her attending the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology. Despite knowing her career path pretty clearly, she opens up about how she navigated the challenge of following this passion to NYC, where she barely made enough to cover living expenses.    She reveals how this struggle opened up the doors for her to build Ninety Five Media, her social media marketing empire, while she commuted on the train to and from the city. Moving away from the interior design world wasn't always part of the plan, but the pandemic had other things in store for her.   Emma also opens up about the significance of financial planning as an entrepreneur, how she set herself up for success early on, and her approach to earning, spending, and investing her money, including celebrating milestones with meaningful purchases.  Key Topics: Having a self-starting mentality from childhood Getting eager to get into the workforce as early as possible Emma's first lessons in taxes with her first paychecks as a young girl Feeling like everyone else had everything figured out in high school and how she leveraged that into her passion for interior design Getting offered a job at the firm she interned at before she even graduated college Navigating life in NYC that didn't pay enough to cover living expenses How she spent a 4-hour-per-day commute building her online marketing business Embracing a “what's the worst that can happen?” mentality while building her business How the pandemic shook the interior design and marketing industry to its core Making the plan to leave her interior design job to go all in on her business The support systems Emma leaned on to help get her business off the ground Getting serious about saving, investing, and planning for retirement Doing a lot of money mindset work to get rid of mental blocks How her mom's entrepreneurial mindset impacted Emma as a kid Rewarding yourself with milestone gifts to remind yourself of your accomplishments as an entrepreneur     Connect with Emma online:    Websites: https://ninetyfivemedia.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmatessler/ Instagram: @ninety.five.media Podcast: Stop Scrolling, Start Scaling Find more from Syama Bunten:   Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com  Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com  

I am breaking format to share my conversation with Ben Mulroney this morning on his national radio show on the Corus network.  I offer six transformative ideas for  Canada on how we can thrive in the next decade. Forget the partisan debates and dive deep into bold ideas that transcend politics and policy. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear: 1)Unlocking Canada's Tourism Potential: From a place to visit to the place to be.  2)Old and New": Powering the Future with Resources and Innovation: Can Canada responsibly harness its natural resources while simultaneously building a cutting-edge, intellectual economy? Here is how. 3)The Untapped Power of Canadian Content: Let's export it to the world. There is even an idea that CBC should be less dependent on the government in power to survive and thrive. 4)The Long Game on Health: AI as the Future of Care: Imagine a healthcare system revolutionized by AI!   5)Reimagining Education for a Competitive Future: Ideas not ideology. It's time to focus on the most essential skills: collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. 6)Rewarding the Dreamers and Doers: My idea for making Canada the Entrepreneurial Epicenter of the world.   This isn't just talk; it's chatter that matters.  An aggressively optimistic roadmap for a brighter Canadian future, one where our destiny is a matter of choice, not chance. Share your thoughts, and if you have time rate and review my podcast. Tony

Those sorts of things will unfortunately be a part of the role.”“And our [vision statement] is that we're a nurturing family where each Knight belongs, grows, and contributes. That's our whole vision. And so if I can't run something through the ‘belong, grow, or contribute' filter, then we're not doing it. If it doesn't fit into that filter, that's not us. That's not what we're doing right now. And so it really has helped with the decision-making. It puts us in a position to give a quality ‘no' for the things that don't fit in that vision and an enthusiastic ‘yes' for the things that do fit within that vision.”Stay in touch with Dr. Matthew Hicks:Email: mhicks@nws.k12.in.usStay in touch with Sarah Williamson:SWPR GROUP WebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Chad Bolser:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

THE BOSTON BULLDOGS, 96min., USA Directed by Bryan Cote “The Boston Bulldogs” is a 90-minute documentary film interviewing 5 people from a running club for addiction recovery, interconnected by one woman's story from finishing the Boston Marathon after her first full year of sobriety to her relapse 24 hours later, and now her recovery 10 years later. The filmmakers follow Meaghan on a run at the site of her first day with the club in 2014, talk with her sister who saw her addiction at its worst and helped her to recovery, interview Meaghan and her husband Conan about their relationship, their hope for their kids, and Conan's path, interview Ashley who talks about her low self-confidence on the way to addiction and recovery and how Meaghan saved her life, return to Meaghan and Ashley's sober living house, and hear why the club formed from its founder. The film is intended to show people in recovery in a positive, hopeful light, providing guidance for those dealing with addiction now, their family and for youth and families dealing with the pressures that come from coming of age in the 2020s. https://www.thebehavioralhealthhour.com/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I I‘m a lifelong journalist and love to tell stories and wanted to work with my son on a project to marry our two interests – mine writing, his more broadcasting and film. This was an easy story to want to tell because addiction affects so many people worldwide and is misunderstood, and the running club is a great way to address addiction and recovery, particularly at a public health level but very much so at a local level. I wanted to try to tell this story in a different way than on paper… What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Rewarding and validating. It was great to hear the reviewers mention things like the questions we asked and how the film impacted them. I also appreciated one of the reviewers acknowleding that the film is long – probably too long – which I get and I agree with candidly….I found it difficult to organize and package the content in a film compared to a written story. Much easier with words. Harder with images, video. Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Living a Life of Adventures Life is too short to be spent in monotony. Living a life of adventure means embracing the unknown, chasing experiences that make your heart race, and stepping out of your comfort zone every chance you get. It's about choosing memories over possessions, stories over routines, and passion over predictability. Adventure isn't just about jumping out of planes or backpacking across foreign lands—though those certainly qualify. It's a mindset, a way of seeing the world as a playground of possibilities rather than a series of obligations. It's about saying “yes” more often, even when you're unsure of what's coming next. It's about embracing challenges, whether they be physical, emotional, or mental, and coming out stronger on the other side. One of the biggest barriers to an adventurous life is fear. Fear of failure, fear of embarrassment, fear of losing stability. But here's the thing: adventure and fear are best friends. The most exhilarating experiences often come wrapped in uncertainty, demanding that we push past our doubts and take the leap. Ask any skydiver about the moment before the jump—it's pure terror, followed by an unmatched rush of freedom. That's what adventure is all about: conquering fear and trading it for euphoria. Adventurous living doesn't always mean extreme sports or exotic travel. Sometimes, it's about the small things—striking up a conversation with a stranger, trying a new dish, taking a different route home just to see where it leads. It's about keeping curiosity alive and never allowing routine to dull the spark of possibility. One of the most rewarding aspects of an adventurous life is the collection of stories. No one looks back and fondly remembers the nights they scrolled through their phone for hours. They remember the spontaneous road trips, the times they got lost in a new city, the moments that made them feel alive. These experiences shape who we are, broaden our perspectives, and give us a sense of fulfillment that material things never could. Of course, adventure comes with its fair share of missteps. You'll make wrong turns, lose your luggage, get caught in the rain without an umbrella—but that's part of the beauty. The best stories often come from the things that didn't go as planned. Embracing the unexpected is what separates those who truly live from those who merely exist. At its core, an adventurous life is a life of growth. Every new experience teaches something, every risk taken builds confidence, and every boundary pushed expands what you believe you're capable of. It's about evolving into the boldest, most fearless version of yourself. So, book that trip. Say yes to that opportunity. Take the risk. Because at the end of the day, life isn't measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

Buckle up, besties, because this week's episode is packed with scandal, family drama, and just a little reckless fun. First up—Danny's mom finally got her residency approved!

Why do we find it so hard to exercise despite knowing how good it is for us? Is sitting really the new smoking? And what can we learn about movement from studying populations who live more traditional lifestyles?   My guest today is the brilliant Daniel Lieberman, Professor of Biological Science and Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His research studies how and why the human body is the way that it is, focusing on the evolution of physical activities such as walking and running and their relevance to health and disease. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers and three books, including his most recent, Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved To Do is Healthy and Rewarding.   In this conversation, we cover so many fascinating topics and explore the powerful idea that humans have not actually evolved to exercise.   We compare the sitting habits of modern humans with more traditional societies and Daniel shares why it may not be how long we sit for that is causing us problems, but more the way in which we choose to sit. We also talk about the profound importance of maintaining strength and activity as we age, the relationship between movement and cancer, the truth about barefoot running and minimalist shoes and the concept of 'mismatch diseases' - this idea that our modern environment is in direct conflict with our evolutionary design, and the impact this is having on our wellbeing.   Throughout the conversation, Daniel challenges many common beliefs that exist around health, and offers us evidence-based, practical strategies for building a healthier relationship with physical activity.    Whether you're interested in the science of movement, looking to build sustainable exercise habits into your life, or simply curious about how our ancestors lived, this is a truly wonderful conversation with one of the world's most highly respected experts.

We know that smiling is a universal human expression of happiness. Everyone smiles - in fact, even babies born blind smile. What is the purpose of smiling? So, what does smiling do for you? Why are we attracted to a person's smile? Listen as I begin this episode with a brief look at smiling. https://www.livescience.com/5254-smiles-innate-learned.html We have all kinds of rituals. There are religious rituals, family rituals, holidays rituals, personal rituals – rituals are everywhere. By definition, rituals don't actually do anything really. They are just rituals. So why do we have them at all? It appears we have them because they are important and necessary according to my guest, Dimitris Xygalatas. He is an anthropologist and cognitive scientist who runs the Experimental Anthropology Lab at the University of Connecticut. He is also author of the book Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living (https://amzn.to/3Pq7U4b). We all know exercise is important for our health. Still, a lot of people hate it. Why is something so vital to human health so despised and avoided by so many? Maybe we never really evolved to exercise – at least not the way exercise is done today. This is according to Daniel E. Lieberman. Daniel is a professor of biological sciences and a professor of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. He is also the author of the book Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding (https://amzn.to/3hoPQea). Listen and you'll never again feel guilty the next time you decide you really DON'T want to go out and exercise. Salt is bad for your blood pressure – that is common knowledge. But is it true?
