Today's conversation is about second acts that arrive not quietly—but boldly. Kim Gottlieb-Walker published her debut novel at age 78 after a 50-year career as a photographer. She also leads the Vintage Writers, a lively weekly Zoom group of women authors over 70. Joining her is Roselyn Teukolsky, a former math and computer science educator who retired and now writes fiction. This conversation explores creative courage, identity shifts, the power of starting something new – and the value of community. Kim Gottlieb-Walker and Roselyn Teukolsky join us from California. _________________________ Planning for retirement? Check out our recommended Best Books for Retirement _________________________ Bios Kim Gottlieb-Walker's  career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. Now in her late 70s, she has reinvented herself as a novelist. While still at UCLA (where she  received a BA in Motion Picture production) and shortly thereafter, she shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World. She  also shot the stills for John Carpenter's Halloween, The Fog, Christine and Escape from New York and worked at Paramount Pictures for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers, and five years for Family Ties. For three decades she  was an elected representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild. Her coffee-table photo books Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae and On Set with John Carpenter were published by Titan Press (UK) distributed by Random House (USA) and both are now in multiple printing. They have editions in Japanese, Russian and French. She's  had gallery shows in London, Los Angeles and New York. Her novels are  Lenswoman in Love – a novel of the 1960s & ‘70s (her debut) and the not-yet published historical novel Caterina by Moonlight, about a girl growing up in renaissance Florence in the late 15th century. Her short story “Summer of Love – 1967” appears in the multi-award-winning anthology Feisty Deeds. Former math and computer science teacher, Roselyn Teukolsky, is the author of A Reluctant Spy, an unconventional spy thriller, and The Fourth Woman, a cautionary tale about online dating. Teukolsky has long been intrigued by the dilemmas faced by smart women in male-dominated settings. Working as a computer science teacher has given her the familiarity to create an authentic female protagonist, a brilliant computer scientist, who, in the latest novel, must ward off a ransomware attack and an online-dating predator. Teukolsky has a B.Sc. in Math and Chemistry from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and an M.S. in Math Education from Cornell. She is the author of the Barron's review book for AP Computer Science, which is currently in its 12th edition. Roselyn's favorite pastime is tournament bridge. She wrote How to Play Bridge with Your Spouse … and Survive (Master Point Press) in 2002. She lives in Pasadena, CA, with her husband, Saul Teukolsky. ________________________ Have a Question You’d Like Answered on the Podcast?

And it keeps your brain alive. There’s so much you have to learn with the learning curve of writing a book that it keeps your brain cells going. It stimulates them. I think there are many people out there who, after having had very active careers that are now retired and are feeling at lost ends. Every person has met interesting people during their lives, has had things happen to them, have had tragedies, have had happiness. Everybody has experiences in them that they might want to communicate. And writing, even though it seems like a very solitary occupation, it gives you a chance to put all of your life experience out into the world and to then connect with other people, other writers, to get the support that you need and to learn all of the different aspects of it. So it’s a very satisfying way to spend your retirement. Oh, well, it’s an amazing group of women. They’re all over 70. They’ve all reinvented themselves as writers. Some were writers beforehand, but most have reinvented themselves. And they cover all different kinds of writing of every genre. There’s self-help, there’s romance, there’s mystery, there’s historical fiction, and they’re all very talented, alert, wonderful women. And we meet every Tuesday on Zoom and commiserate and celebrate and give advice. And it has been the most wonderful support group. So we’re not isolated in retirement. We have interactions with people who have similar goals and similar challenges. It’s a tremendous support group.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Age as an Asset ” It is never too late to reinvent yourself. It’s totally within your reach. You don’t have to depend on anyone else. All you have to do is sit down and let your ideas flow. And I wouldn’t worry about ageism because now that we’re in an age where you can self-publish, it doesn’t matter how old you are. And the fact that we have had such rich lives and so many experiences informs the writing and gives the writing depth and gives it reality because it’s based on our real experiences. No matter what you’re writing, you’re bringing your life experiences into it, which is incredibly valuable. So don’t worry about ageism. Don’t worry about the publisher. Just get it out on paper. Do it yourself.” – Kim Gottlieb-Walker On Starting to Write “A lot of my friends have said to me, Oh, they would love to write a book. They would love to write a book. They’re going to write a book. But the point is, if you don’t sit down every day at the same time, backside in the desk, it doesn’t happen. It just doesn’t. Even if you sit and do nothing. I would ask, what are you going to do in the next 10 years? And I say, I don’t know what I’m going to do. And I say, Well, why not write in the next 10 years?” – Roselyn Teukolsky

About Bari Kowal:Bari Kowal is a senior biopharmaceutical executive with over 30 years of experience leading global operations, clinical development, and strategic portfolio management. As Senior Vice President at Regeneron, she oversees development operations, enterprise-wide portfolio strategy, risk management, and major technology initiatives, helping guide the company's continued growth and innovation. Her career spans leadership roles at Pfizer, ICON Clinical Research, Valera Pharmaceuticals, PDL BioPharma, GenVec, and Covance, where she built high-performing teams and drove operational excellence across clinical operations and strategic programs.

She is known for her governance expertise, collaborative leadership style, and ability to deliver organizational transformation at scale. Bari holds a master's degree in neuroscience from New York University, with additional academic training from the University of Pennsylvania and Binghamton University.Things You'll Learn:Expanding access to clinical trials requires educating both patients and physicians, many of whom are unfamiliar with how to engage in research. Better awareness can dramatically increase participation and diversify trial populations.Technology alone will not speed up drug development unless systems are connected end-to-end. Interoperability is the real catalyst for reducing inefficiencies across discovery, development, and regulatory submission.Clean, structured data is the foundation of meaningful AI adoption in healthcare. Without it, predictive models and trial optimization tools cannot reach their potential.Trial complexity is one of the most significant barriers to faster development timelines. Streamlining procedures, reducing unnecessary tests, and learning from regulatory feedback can significantly accelerate progress.Sustainable clinical research requires equipping trial sites with greater capacity and support. Even when the right patients are identified, sites must be capable of enrolling and managing them effectively.Resources:Connect with and follow Bari Kowal on LinkedIn.Follow Regeneron on LinkedIn and visit their website.

This week, we begin looking back on some of the most moving moments shared on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio in 2025:          Hope & Nagy have been called by God to live in some very difficult places. They were serving Him in Libya when civil war broke out; they stayed and thrived under the Lord's protection. Then they heard the Lord call them to a new and equally-challenging land.          Jerry Mattix has been banned twice from entering Türkiye, once in 2013 and again earlier this year. Jerry knows God is able to do His work among Turkish people without him in the country.          Nathan and Kari were raised differently, yet the Lord called them to Himself, and to missions, together. In South Asia, they are seeing the gospel on fire, not waiting for foreign missionaries but moving forward through the gospel fervor of national Christians.          John Samara knows the high cost of serving Christ in a place like Syria. He grew up there and continues to serve persecuted Christians in the Middle East and North Africa through Ananias House.          Eric Mock, from Slavic Gospel Association, shares how war between Russia and Ukraine has actually accelerated SGA's ministry as they provide aid and share the gospel with hundreds of thousands of people.          Teaching students in the UK and around the world, Dr. Michael Reeves has a passion for strengthening the faith of persecuted Christians in hostile and restricted nations. He served as a missionary on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan.          Ty Scott, leader of VOM's work in east and southern Africa, shares about Christians living in a country that has never been discussed on VOM Radio until this year — Comoros. He also shared how VOM handles Bible distribution in Africa.          Author of the book, Inside Afghanistan, John Weaver, shares what it looks like to be a Christian in Afghanistan today. Believers must carefully plant gospel seeds and seek out people of peace.          Abraham & Sara minister to Muslim refugees in the Middle East who are open to the gospel. They see the hunger to know Jesus, and the Lord is revealing Himself to these refugees through dreams, visions, and the love of Christ, as seen in the example of Abraham, Sara, and their team.

A Year-End Look at the JMO Transition Market As the year winds down, a lot of Junior Military Officers are asking the same thing: What does the market actually look like right now? And what should I be doing about it? In the latest Cameron-Brooks podcast, our CEO, Chuck Alvarez, and Senior Vice President, Joel Junker, break down where things stand at the end of 2025. The short answer: the market isn't easy, but there are still great opportunities out there. Uncertain Economy There's no question the economy feels uncertain. Global conflict, political gridlock, and nonstop headlines about AI have made companies more cautious. Hiring has slowed in many corporate roles, and expectations are higher across the board. But here's the part that often gets missed: companies are still investing heavily in leaders who can run teams, solve problems, and deliver results. That's where mindset matters. What does 2026 look like? Looking ahead to 2026, that gap is only going to widen. AI isn't replacing leaders, but it is raising the bar. Companies expect new hires to show up ready to learn, ready to adapt, and ready to drive outcomes. Officers who prepare early, by learning the basics of business, understanding how data and finance work, and translating their military leadership into real business impact—will stand out. Officers who wait until separation to start thinking about all of this will feel the market's friction much more sharply. Launching Pad vs. Landing Pad Additionally, Joel and Chuck talk about the difference between a landing pad and a launching pad. A landing pad feels safe. It prioritizes location, familiarity, and getting comfortable quickly. For many officers, that leads to internships or roles that don't fully use their leadership experience—and frustration sets in fast. A launching pad is different. It treats the transition as the start of a long leadership journey, not the finish line. Launching pad roles are harder. They come with more responsibility, steeper learning curves, and sometimes less geographic control. But they also create momentum: early wins, faster growth, and compounding "opportunity" interest over time. Prepare to Gain Control The year-end message is simple: you may not be able to control the economy, but you can control how prepared you are for it. If you want 2026 to be a year of growth rather than regret, build a launching pad now. Listen to the full Cameron-Brooks podcast for a candid conversation on the market, mindset, and what it really takes to transition well. Thinking about your next steps? We're more than happy to talk.

America is racing to build the infrastructure for an AI-powered economy. But as this generational investment accelerates, a critical question emerges: Are organizations truly ready to deploy AI at scale? While AI is everywhere in headlines, enterprise readiness remains uneven. Many companies are experimenting with AI, but far fewer have the data quality, governance structures, workforce skills, or sector-specific frameworks needed to adopt it responsibly and effectively. The gap between infrastructure and real-world deployment is growing — and closing it will determine whether AI strengthens competitiveness and expands opportunity across the economy. In this episode, guest host Brie Sachse, Senior Vice President & Head of Government Affairs for Siemens USA, sits down with Victoria Espinel, President & CEO of the Business Software Alliance (BSA), to explore how AI can be responsibly integrated across every sector of the economy. Together, they discuss what it takes to accelerate AI adoption in ways that strengthen competitiveness, expand opportunity, and build public trust. Victoria shares insights from BSA's global work on AI and digital transformation, while Brie discusses the strong benefits of AI adoption across all sectors of industry, where AI meets the physical world. Both Brie and Victoria reflect on how policymakers, employers, and technology leaders can work together to ensure AI provides benefits to organizations of all sizes. This episode offers a practical, optimistic look at the future of AI and why readiness, not hype, is the key to unlocking America's AI advantage.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin sits down with Brian Willer, Senior Vice President and National Sales Manager of Institutional Business Development at Federated Hermes, to discuss leadership, communication, and the operational discipline required to scale an institutional sales organization.Willer begins by reflecting on his early background growing up in Maine with no direct exposure to investment management. His interest in financial markets was sparked by curiosity rather than formal guidance, eventually leading him to Bryant University, where a trading simulation room cemented his desire to enter the industry. He launched his career at Fidelity Investments on the inside sales desk, gaining foundational training during the Global Financial Crisis. This period proved formative, teaching him how to navigate difficult market environments, client uncertainty, and the importance of preparation and resilience.After several years at Fidelity, Willer sought a path that allowed him to move into the field without leaving New England. Following a stint in recordkeeping sales, he joined Federated Hermes in 2013, entering the institutional business during a period of growth. Over time, he progressed into a leadership role overseeing an eight-person institutional sales team across North America, while working closely with the firm's liquidity, treasury, and consulting relations groups.A central theme of the conversation is culture and communication. Willer emphasizes that Federated Hermes' culture is built on trust, transparency, and long-term tenure, supported by a relatively flat organizational structure. He believes leaders must stay deeply connected to their teams, noting that sales leadership cannot be effective from a distance. His communication model blends structure and consistency—biweekly team meetings, monthly one-on-ones, and formal quarterly reviews—with constant daily interaction to stay close to opportunities, challenges, and client conversations.Willer also highlights the importance of tapping into collective intelligence. He encourages open sharing across the team, allowing reps to learn from one another's positioning strategies, client objections, and successful approaches. By deliberately creating forums where ideas and insights are exchanged, he helps eliminate silos and raise the performance of the entire group. This philosophy extends beyond sales to cross-functional collaboration with product, marketing, and RFP teams.The discussion also covers the role of CRM systems, particularly Salesforce, as a core business tool rather than an administrative burden. Willer stresses the importance of data quality, capturing meetings early, and documenting detailed notes to support long institutional sales cycles. A well-maintained CRM enables better internal coordination, more relevant client outreach, and improved prioritization across teams.When asked about leadership philosophy, Willer describes his approach as trust-based and intentional. He prioritizes kindness, thoughtful communication, and honest feedback delivered in the right setting. For young professionals entering the industry, his advice centers on building relationships early and focusing on controllable factors such as preparation, process, and continuous learning. He concludes by noting that time management is his greatest challenge as a leader, and that prioritizing what best serves clients and the team is the framework he uses to stay focused and effective.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

I was staring out the window and it was a foggy evening. And I wondered, we’re all asleep at night. And I was wondering, what happens at night? The coyotes are howling and no one is walking about. What really is going on? So I imagined in my own mind a short story evolving… I had something. Maybe four or five pages. And I showed it to Michelle. And she said, Jeez, Dad, it’s kind of an interesting story. Have you ever considered writing it into a novel? And I thought, well, I never gave it any thought. But now that you mention it, it might be a good idea.” – Neil On Intergenerational Collaboration “So this isn’t the first time we had worked together. We did work together professionally in commercial real estate, but this was the first time we had worked together on a creative project, more of a passion project. And what really struck me was how much we both loved writing and creativity. My dad had written things, as I mentioned, I have written things, but we’d never worked on something collaboratively together. So this to me was really surprising because it was so much fun.  And had I known it would be this much fun, I would have suggested something sooner. The work in this case is the fun. And another point in a professional setting, especially in real estate, my dad was the mentor and I was the mentee. Whereas this was new, this is new for both of us. The editing process, the literary world is a new discovery, which is fun equally on both sides. No one is the expert in this case. We’re learning together, which I found was really refreshing.” – Michelle On Transferable Skills “I found the process of writing a novel to be very similar to what I did for a living for about 50 years. Earlier on, as we were getting ready to build something, we would hire an architect, we would hire designers and planners and tradesmen. And I found myself ironically finding the same in script writers and editors and influencers that came to the party as well. And I found that writing a novel and building a building were very, very similar. And one of the characteristics in real estate development is the attitude of patience.” – Neil

History may not rhyme, but it echoes, and for all the challenges dairy has faced, a few key areas have continued to resurface throughout Chris Galen's nearly three decades in dairy.“A lot of what I had worked on at the start of my career, and also now in the last few years of my career at National Milk, has been on milk pricing, in particular federal milk marketing order reforms,” said Galen, NMPF's longtime communications leader and the current Senior Vice President of Member Services and Governance, in a Dairy Defined podcast. “A lot of what we have to do, has to do with just making certain that farmers are paid fairly.”Galen reflects on the changes of dairy's structure in the 21st century, the continued importance of family farms to dairy, and the evolution of media that has made it easier to serve members while getting dairy's message to a broader audience.
