Dr. Vicki Hemmett, DC grew up in Southwest Ontario. She attended Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, earning a dual degree; a Bachelor of Science in premed sciences and a bachelor's degree in Physical Health and Education (BPHE). Through these studies she discovered her desire to pursue chiropractic medicine as a career.  Dr. Vicki attended National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL and earned another Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She met and later married fellow classmate, Dr. Erik Hemmett, DC, and they decided to return to his native state, Vermont upon graduation in 2002. They purchased an existing practice in Williston, Vermont and began to gradually transform it into the amazing practice Hemmett Health that they currently manage in South Burlington, Vermont.Dr. Vicki was always drawn to women's health; particularly pregnancy-related orthopedic care. Early in her career, Dr. Vicki reached out to many local OBGYN practices and made a great connection with the largest OBGYN practice in the state, Maitri Healthcare for Women. Together they developed a collaborative referral network serving the orthopedic needs of their patients.In 2008 after moving her practice from Williston to Eastern View Integrative Medical Building in South Burlington, Dr. Vicki was introduced to female pelvic floor health and the need for providers to serve these women. She was drawn to the magnitude of the problem, the suffering and lack of adequate diagnosis and treatment options for these women. She began researching the literature and learning everything she could on the anatomy, neurology, diagnostic techniques, and treatment options for the female pelvic floor and dysfunctional conditions like fecal and urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, prolapse and low back pain. The literature showed that there was a void in safe and effective treatment options for these female pelvic floor conditions. Dr. Vicki drew upon her palpation experience, her chiropractic joint manipulative skills and her curious and innovative mindset to develop, Pelvic Power Release, a truly unique diagnostic and treatment protocol to address both spastic and weakness components of the pelvic floor. Over the next decade, Dr. Vicki was able to diagnose, treat and heal hundreds of women suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction safely and effectively.  She developed an extensive collaborative medical referral network serving the patient needs of OBGYNs, PCPs, colorectal surgeons, midwives, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and chiropractors throughout Vermont.Dr. Vicki was privileged to co-lecture with Dr. Jennie Lowell, MD, OBGYN from Maitri Healthcare for Women at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. She taught the OBGYN residents musculoskeletal anatomy and function, as well as palpation techniques to empower them to make a great patient referral to a pelvic floor provider.This ongoing experience fosters her love of teaching and her desire to bring female pelvic floor dysfunction, commonly known as the “silent epidemic”, into the mainstream. She continues to seek to try to normalize pelvic floor therapy*******************I recommend checking out my comprehensive pelvic health education and fitness programs on my Buff Muff AppYou can also join my next 28 Day Buff Muff Challenge https://www.vaginacoach.com/buffmuffIf you are feeling social you can connect with me… On Facebook https://www.facebook.com/VagCoachOn Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vaginacoach/On Twitter https://twitter.com/VaginaCoachOn The Web www.vaginacoach.com

That's why it's really important not just to be an expert in whatever city you're investing in, but an expert within the neighborhoods within that city." - Ming Lim  "A lot of times people are looking at the property, and then figuring out the tenant. And that's the wrong way to do it. As a business, you don't design the product and then figure out who you're going to sell it to. You're trying to figure out what your customer is? What do they need? And how can you fill that before you go and create a product and investing is no different." - Ming Lim  "The idea here is, in a higher growth market, crazy expensive market, let's call it you have the opportunity to buy a property, at10% growth, you only need to wait about two and a half years before you've built enough equity in that property through appreciation and mortgage pay down to refinance, do an equity ticket and go buy another life property." - Ming Lim  "How do you get those higher rents, and this is where you start hearing about things like renovictions, these big tenant advocacy groups start getting involved. We bypass all of that by just focusing on an inherently transient tenant profile right from the get-go." - Matthew Lee    "Transit is the single most desirable feature to help you determine where to buy." - Matthew Lee "When you're thinking about where and what to buy, we need to start thinking about expanding our criteria and broadening our thinking a little bit in terms of what is it that our renters want." - Matthew Lee   Connect with Matthew Lee and Ming Lim: Website: https://www.volitionprop.com Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Podcast: http://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/  Website: https://davedubeau.com/home  Investor Attraction Workshop: http://www.investorattractionworkshop.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedavedubeau  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/davedubeau  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Alexis is wearing the Shock Collar this morning! Today's question: In 2012, Taco Bell teamed up with Doritos to birth the Doritos Locos Taco, which is one of the greatest food mashups of all time. However, 60 years earlier, one man might have created the original food mashup. It started when Sam Panopolous moved to Southwest Ontario from Greece and opened his very own restaurant. To stick out amongst the eateries in the area, he began experimenting by combining different foods from international cultures. Finally, one item in particular hit the jackpot. Now you can find it at restaurants all over the world. What is it?

Heather Lekx has managed Ignatius Farm since 2001, when she arrived to start a new CSA program at the Ignatius Jesuit Centre in Guelph, Ontario. She currently oversees the vegetable farm, an extensive community garden, and land management for a multitude of independent enterprises at the Centre’s farm, which has served as the well of sustenance for the Jesuit community in the region since 1913. Heather provides insights into the dynamics of farming with an institution, including how the CSA program and the farm developed in a vacuum left by previous programming and how the farm became a focal point of the Ignatius Centre’s identity. We discuss how her role has changed through the years from the initiation of the CSA program to its current ten acres of production alongside of 250 acres of additional farm production as part of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre’s larger mission. We also dig deep into Ignatius Farm’s process for hiring great employees and interns, from advertising and interviewing through the onboarding process and beyond. Heather helped to start the CRAFT program for Southwest Ontario, and she shares the ways that her farm provides a mission-driven internship program that also provides for the needs of the farm.
