A quarter of a century ago, SeaWorld San Diego received a days old, nearly one ton gray whale calf whose mother was nowhere to be found and was presumed dead from a possible boat strike. With no previous data or experience on the neonatal nutritional and husbandry needs of a large species of baleen whale, SeaWorld's Keith Yip and the rest of the animal team set about the impossible task of saving an emaciated and dehydrated calf on the verge of death. What began as a long-shot turned into world wide interest in the first-of-its-kind rescue, rehabilitation, study, and eventual return to the ocean of a 31 foot, 19,000 pound gray whale some 15 months later.

The words enthusiastic and charismatic don't come close to capturing the energy Bello Nock gives away. We had breakfast at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi where he was performing - he's now at MGM National Harbor - and later got him on the phone for our interview. He's the perfect mix of "show" + "business". He manages his own troupe consisting of acts from many nations plus five more troupes across the country, all moving from place to place. His daughter performs at SeaWorld San Diego - she's the eighth generation Nock family performer. Amazing conversation.  Thanks to Show Sponsors: Alabama Center for Real Estate (ACRE) E3 Termite & Pest Control Allison Horner - State Farm Agent Trey Langus - Transworld Business Advisors Budweiser-Busch Distributing Sandifer Wealth Management Bryant Bank Persons Services Corps.

Joy Clausen-Soto and I “met” quite by accident. We connected on LinkedIn (neither of us remembers who contacted whom), and I got curious. A few weeks and a couple of emails later, I spent a wonderful hour talking with this incredible woman about her story of dream jobs, struggle and telling a different story. So many nuggets for The EP community about human projects! More on Joy…When Joy was twenty-four years old, she decided to leave her dream job working with dolphins to pursue a career in filmmaking. Three months into film school, Joy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a blood cancer, and had to drop out of film school. Everything she knew changed, but one thing remained constant. . . the camera.Joy recorded everything, from her first diagnosis of cancer with a high survival rate to the changed diagnosis of a more aggressive type of cancer with a lower survival rate. Joy didn't let the cancer diagnosis end her dreams of becoming a filmmaker. She was able to find a way to maintain control over her story during a time in her life when she had very little control.Joy founded the annual Children's Hospital dolphin interaction at SeaWorld San Diego. She has inspired people to find ways to get back control of their lives and to pursue their dreams.Joy has shared her story on the TEDx stage, ABC, NBC, FOX News, Telemundo, Univision, and KPBS.In this episode:- Why not me?- More than 1 dream- Leaping into the unknown- The power of support- Celebrate!Connect with Joy:- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-clausen-soto- www.joyclausensoto.comConnect with Amy and The Encourage Project community!- Facebook – facebook.com/theencourageproject- Instagram – Instagram.com/the_encourage_project- Email – hello@theencourageproject.comSpecial thanks to my producer Connor Reed and the band Suite 25 (check them out on Spotify)!
