Lead your gluten-free life, don't let being gluten-free lead your life. Enjoy Food, Enjoy Travel, and Enjoy Life with your show host, Elikqitie!   In this episode, I’ll give you the 411 on how to visit Devil’s Tower National Monument and why you want to visit the Crazy Horse Memorial. Devil’s Tower is the geologic formation that was made famous by the Steven Speilberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind and not much has changed in the area since the movie was filmed in 1977.   South Dakota and Wyoming Travel Tips    When you’re planning a vacation to South Dakota or Wyoming, you’ll want to be prepared to drive long distances across these vast, open, and rural states. While there are many outdoor and tourist activities to be had, the most essential aspect you’ll need to remember is to consistently map out where you will go in a location that you have decent wi-fi.    Wyoming is a big state, with very few accommodations in between cities as there are many farms and thousands of acres of open space. This is definitely a place where you’ll need to do some planning ahead for your activities - mainly because the drive-in between them can be lengthy. In addition, Wyoming doesn’t have very many places that are gluten-free friendly, which adds to the amount of planning you’ll need to do in advance of your trip.   Devil’s Tower National Monument   If you are a fan of the Steven Spielberg movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you’ll definitely want to take a trip out and experience Devil’s Tower National Monument. What I love about this monument, besides the fact that I became completely enamored with this geologic feature when I first saw the movie at the age of five in 1977, is that you can easily see the entire park on the weekend!   From the park entrance, check out the visitor center, which offers you views of the different sides of the monument. The Tower Trail and other hikes offer changing views of the Tower. When you drive in from the highway, you can see the one side of the Tower with the amazing and beautiful landscape surrounding this geologic feature. Definitely pull over and get a picture of the Tower a few miles out before you get into the park. Once inside the park, you’ll be able to hike around the entire Tower with the ability to see many perspectives of the geologic formation. To truly see the Tower, one must observe it from all perspectives.   Before white settlers came into the area and gave this geological feature its American name, our Native American peoples celebrated and lived around the Tower for thousands of years; their modern descendants still maintain a connection with this place on a physical and a spiritual level. “Oral histories passed down by various American Indian tribes, as well as their present-day ceremonies, offer us important perspectives of the Tower.”   Crazy Horse Memorial   The Crazy Horse Memorial is the largest carved monument to date, and if you placed it on top of Mount Rushmore, it would easily consume the entirety of this monument. Over one million people visit this unique and beautiful work of art, which was started in 1939 when Chief Henry Standing Bear met Korczak Ziolkowski 1939 at the World’s Fair. Chief Henry hired Korczak to build and construct this massive undertaking. Along with his wife Ruth Ross and their ten children, Korczak worked daily on their new life project.   You can easily see the mission of Crazy Horse Monument in practice today, “The mission of Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation is to protect and preserve the culture, tradition, and living heritage of all North American Indians. With their mission leading the way, the original sculpture has expanded into a visitor complex of over a dozen buildings, including an educational and cultural center for Native Americans, history and cultural museum, and several carving rooms.    Crazy Horse Memorial is definitely a must-see if you are in South Dakota or Wyoming, so make sure to put this monument on your list. It’s definitely an all-day experience that you won’t want to miss!   Other Fun Activities in Wyoming   Since you’re already in Wyoming, you may want to stop at other locations besides Devil’s Tower and Crazy Horse. One of the other activities I took part in while on my vacation in Wyoming is the Badlands Helicopter Tour we took to see Mount Rushmore National Monument. This was a great choice to view the monument as you avoid all the traffic on the way up. However, you’ll have a hard time getting good pictures of the memorial from a helicopter, but the ride-up is definitely fantastic!   I didn’t get to see a few places but looked like a great option: The Mammoth Site of Hot Springs, South Dakota, the Reptile Gardens, The 1880 Train, The Prairie Berry Winery, which is the region’s most awarded winery. I’d also recommend a hot air balloon ride, which always gives you a fantastic bird’ eye view of the landscape and geology. Fly the Black Hills offers the opportunity for you to soar in a hot air balloon. Also, check out Tatanka, the Story of the Bison, and find out how the bison almost went extinct.    The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free Are you anxious about traveling with Celiacs Disease?

Anxiety, inflammation, insomnia, OH MY! It seems like every day there's a new use for CBD oil, even for your furry pets! This is part 2 of our series on CBD.

This past October, The Business of Cannabis partnered with Canada 2020, on a policy conference called Canadian Grown.On this episode, Jay and Alex Patterson (Executive Director, Canada 2020) spoke with Dr. Ruth Ross, from the University of Toronto. Ross is a professor and chair of the department of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Toronto. 

In her book, Coming Alive: The Journey to Reengage Your Life and Career, Ruth Ross talks about her personal decision to leave her corporate job in Human Resources after a thirty-year career as she was able to self-diagnose her disengagement in the workplace. She cites a Gallup poll putting employee disengagement at 87% globally – 68.5% in the U.S. alone, but what is engagement? Ross also states the different levels of disengagement, caused by a number of factors, such as frustration. However, this problem is not exclusive to employees. Managers can also become disengaged and they’ll have a hard time turning things around with their employees when the problem is prevalent at the top. Companies can turn it around, but they need to acknowledge the problem first. Bosses need to understand where their employees are on the spectrum and talking to their employees goes a long way in turning things around. Ross’ adage is, “if you’re a dead battery, you can’t charge others.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ruth Ross learned how to play poker at age 10 from her father. Little did she realize that it would give her the skills to develop into a Human Resources executive. Combined with her love of travel, she’s played poker all over the world — from Las Vegas to Monte Carlo. In this episode, Ruth talks about how poker gives her the ability to work on her “gut instinct” to read others, which is often very useful in dealing with office issues. She parallels employee engagement with poker, saying that we’re each dealt a hand at work and we need to decide whether to fold or go “all in”. Ruth is an engagement evangelist, speaker, and author at R Squared Resources. She wrote the book “Coming Alive: The Journey to Reengage Your Life and Career”. Prior to this, Ruth spent 30 years as a Human Resources professional, working her way up to Executive Vice President. She graduated from Syracuse University with a BS in Human Development and Business. She later went on to get her MS in Counseling from Northeastern University.

Denise Griffitts interviews author, speaker, and engagement evangelist Ruth Ross. A journey with a destination that only you can choose. A journey that will ignite your life and refuel your career. Corporate leaders, midcareer professionals, entrepreneurs and others have sought Ruth Ross out as their guide because she took this journey herself. To her amazement, she realized she was not alone in her feelings of disenfranchisement, anxiety, boredom and apathy. Then, she did what many of us think about but rarely do: Stop. Reassess. And commit to the life she wanted to lead. The result is that Ruth created resources to help leaders identify whether the “disengagement disease” is infecting their organizations — or even themselves. As a successful HR executive for top Fortune 500 companies, she realized she felt held hostage by the trappings that come with a “big job.” She was an influencer at her company, yet she felt invisible. Perhaps even more debilitating, she recognized that her work no longer excited her. After putting a name to these feelings and admitting she was disengaged, she set off on a new path as an advocate for treating this affliction. If Ruth’s story strikes a chord with you, join her on a journey toward reengaging your life and career. You won’t have to pack for this trip. In fact, you’ll end up discarding baggage that might be holding you back from coming alive.

With 30 years experience as a human resources executive for top Fortune 500 companies, Ruth Ross has used her knowledge to finetune her theory on engagement in the workplace. In this podcast, she will talk about how engagement is key in raising productivity, and some tips for both manager and employee to improve engagement. Ruth relates here the disengagement she herself experienced while working as a top executive, and how she used this realization as the foundation to build her now successful consulting firm. She shares her proven “Alive” program, which is a 5-step program that has been proven to increase employee and manager engagement with little to no cost. To top it off, she talks about her acclaimed book “Coming Alive: The Journey To Reengage Your Life And Career”, where she talks in-depth of good engagement practices that can be used in the workplace and everyday life.   In this episode, you'll learn: • How the engagement crisis is costing businesses in the United States billions of dollars a year. • How to recognize the signs of disengagement. • No-cost steps to reengage employees and managers. Tweetables: • Each of us individually needs to be our own CEO. We need to be our own Chief Engagement Officer. • I wanted people to understand that you cannot compartmentalize your life. That what happens at work affects you at home, and vice versa. Big Takeaways: • Disengagement in the workplace is becoming a widespread problem in the United States and around the world. Unless managers and corporations take active steps to solve it, it will continue to affect productivity and profits every year. • Disengagement is something most people experience in their life. The first step to solving this crisis is by owning that feeling. After that, realizing your passions and dealbreakers will help you move forward in your career. • The major solution to disengagement is by getting back to the basics of connecting, especially between manager and employee. Managers have a really important role in improving their employees' engagement, but they cannot actively engage others without helping themselves first.
