In a time when the hope of surviving kidney failure was rare, one family refused to give up. Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Maura Casey recounts her sister's fight for life in the 1960s and the legacy of hope it left behind. In today's episode we heard from: Maura Casey grew up in an Irish-American family in Buffalo, New York, the youngest of six children. For more than 30 years, Casey was an opinion writer for three New England newspapers and The New York Times, where she had a seat on the exalted Times editorial board. Over the course of her career, Casey won 45 state, regional and national awards for her writing. She and her husband Pete have two adult children and two grandchildren. They live on a small Connecticut farm with their two dogs and a barn cat. Casey writes a weekly column, Casey's Catch, and when the breeze is right, she coasts on Long Island Sound in her sailboat, Second Wind. “Saving Ellen” (Skyhorse Publishing, April 1, 2025) is her first book. Additional Resources: Saving Ellen; A Memoir of Hope and Recovery Do you have comments, questions, or suggestions? Email us at NKFpodcast@kidney.org.

I am beyond over the moon excited to have our very special guest expert on this episode of Sell With Authority, Laurie Mikes. Laurie is the Chief Operating Officer of the Second Wind Agency Network, where she oversees daily operations and works closely with Second Wind's member agencies. That gives her an incredible pulse on the industry — she truly has her finger on the trends, the challenges, and the opportunities agency owners are navigating right now. I invited Laurie to the show because of her deep expertise around agency finance, growth, and operations. I was especially eager to have this conversation after reading a blog post Laurie wrote entitled, “Transparency Builds Trust with Clients.” My Predictive team and I feel the same way. We recommend that our clients build transparency right into their biz dev processes — teaching and sharing generously right from the onset of a new relationship. When you do that, you remove friction from the sales process — and make it so much easier for your right-fit prospects to say “yes.” That's exactly where Laurie and I focus our time and attention in this episode — how you can build deeper trust with your right-fit prospects and clients. If you take and apply the insights Laurie shares, you and your team will be better equipped to build trust faster — and that, in turn, will help you sell more of what you do. What you will learn in this episode: Why transparency is the foundation for building authority and winning trust with right-fit clients How to openly share your agency's process so prospects feel less like targets and more like valued partners The #1 mistake agencies make trying to protect their “secret sauce” — and what to do instead Why difficult, honest conversations actually get you a seat at the table as a strategic partner — not just a vendor Real-world examples of onboarding practices that set the stage for long-term client retention and bigger budgets Resources: Website: https://www.secondwindonline.com/ LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-mikes/ LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/second-wind/ AGENCY WORKFLOW AND EFFICIENCY

Tim and Steve dive into what it really means to push through life's tough moments — taking inspiration from the incredible life and legacy of boxing legend George Foreman. We talk about resilience, personal growth, and that powerful idea of finding your "second wind" — that hidden reserve of strength you only discover when you're tested. George's journey from an intimidating knockout artist to a wise, enduring champion reminds us that real strength isn't just physical — it's mental, emotional, and spiritual too. We also reflect on how easy it is to take things like our health, stability, and loved ones for granted. Life's challenges — whether it's illness, money troubles, or personal hardships — have a way of teaching us what really matters. And often, it's in helping others that we find true purpose. Plus, we celebrate Foreman not just for his boxing career, but for the humor, heart, and generosity he shared with the world. His story is a beautiful reminder that strength can be soft, and that giving back is one of the most powerful things we can do. “In my first boxing career, I never ran more than three miles at a time during training. I didn't need much stamina, I always knocked opponents out in the early rounds. I knew it would be a different story the second time around. My wife would drive me eight or ten miles, then drop me off so I could run home. I found out what athletes meant when they described getting their 'second wind.' I realized I had more willpower than I thought. Once I got past the initial pain, I felt I could run forever, that's how a lot of things are in life. You might be in a situation that's uncomfortable or even painful at first, but once you push past the pain, you find your second wind - and then nothing can stop you.” — George Foreman

The two American species of dowitchers, Long-billed and Short-billed, are similar in appearance but have distinctive calls. And they're some of the continent's most dramatic songsters. On their northern breeding grounds, Short-billed Dowitchers ascend as high as 150 feet in the air then glide slowly earthward, singing. At the end of the glide, they may take off again for another bout of song.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
