SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE Entrepreneurs are often praised for being strong, strategic, and self-reliant—but what happens when overthinking, racing minds, self-doubt, and emotional overload threaten to take over? In this episode, we welcome Stacey Johnson— empowerment coach, resilience mentor, and founder of Anchor Resilience—to explore how high-functioning leaders can still be weighed down by unhealed grief, trauma, and thought patterns that sabotage their success.

Oral argument argued before the Eighth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on or about 01/10/2023

Yeah. Yeah. An end of year clip show. But we've talked to some awesome people in the last twelve months, and we want to share some of the many highlights.  As a special Festive treat, Investories presents some mindset shift tips you can implement today.  Love Investories? Get in touch. Especially if you want to build in 2023.  Investories is looking for people interested in Mindset, Seller financing and STR and MTR strategies to receive live mentoring to level up their journey.    Happy Holidays Investories Fam.  Rather than spreading festive cheer, I'm trying to keep COVID to myself. But we continue!  Alex lives in Southern California and worked on the front lines battling the COVID pandemic, and helping patients as a Respiratory Therapist and has been in the real estate game for a while now.  As a child, he first learned about real estate while watching his family members operate a motel on the Las Vegas strip.  He then went on to investing in long term rentals (LTRs) in the early 2000's while also launching his career in healthcare as a respiratory therapist.  Unfortunately, with the crash in 2008, Alex learned the more unforgiving side of real estate and had to real back his portfolio. Over the next several years, Alex continued to progress in his carrer as a respiratory therapist.  He and his wife (whose also a respiratory therapist) focused on their family and grew from a family of 2 to a family of 6, welcoming 4 wonderful children.  By 2015 or so, they were ready to take another swing at real estate! Their CPA was actually the one that advised them to consider short term rentals for the tax benefits.  Taking their CPA up on his advice, they purchased a cabin in the Great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.  This turned into a wildly successful investment.  In Alex's words "it was an ATM machine".  Alex and his wife have since continued to buy short term rentals, which allowed his wife to walk away from her carreer in healthcare to spend more time with family and on the business. These days, Alex continues to work as a respiratory therapist and runs an online community supporting other healthcare professionals who want to get into real estate investing.  He's incredibly passionate about helping others recognize their own financial freedom through real estate investing and he continues to give as much as he can to the community! Struggling with getting the numbers right? Stuck on CAP Rate? Struggling with expenses?  This is the episode for you.  Today, Investories welcomes Ryan Rex. Ryan is an underwriter with experience in taking down dozens of deals with Real Focus Capital. Ryan understands underwriting and sets out the hacks, tips and rules to better underwrite.

4-10: Stacey Johnson-Cosby, KC Housing Alliance by KCMO Talk Radio

In this crossover episode with the podcast We Teach Languages, Leading Lines producer Stacey Johnson talks with Robert Elliott, associate director of the Northwest Indian Language Institute at the University of Oregon. The institute works with Native American tribes to support and strengthen language preservation and revitalization efforts. Robert helps teachers of indigenous languages through teacher training and curriculum development. Unlike those who work with more commonly spoken languages, Robert’s work also involves language documentation, often capturing tribal elders speaking endangered languages via video and audio. In his conversation with Stacey, Robert shares his path into this work, the role of technology in language revitalization, and the impact the work has on indigenous people.

Episode 15 – “Language Learning through Digital Games” by Meghan McGinley How can games help someone learn a second language? Vanderbilt graduate student Meghan McGinley was interested in exploring that question this past spring. Meghan, who is pursuing a PhD in French with a certificate in Second Language Studies, was a student in a course on second language acquisition taught by my Center for Teaching colleague Stacey Margarita Johnson. Stacey regularly asks the students in her graduate courses to conduct interviews with language teachers or language learning experts. Meghan was planning to do her semester project on that question – How can games help someone learn a second language? – so for her interview, she reached out to University of Arizona linguistics professor Jonathan Reinhardt, who had recently published a scholarly book on games and language learning. Meghan’s interview with Professor Reinhardt covers a lot of ground, from his path into game studies, to the problems when we think of work and play as two separate things, to the connection between Harry Potter and a 1961 book on games by a French sociologist. Stacey Johnson found the interview so interesting that she featured it on her podcast, We Teach Languages, and we’re excited to feature it here on VandyVox, too.

Back in September of 2018, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Stacey Johnson. Then life got in the way (mostly moving to our new club space) and I haven’t had a chance to edit it until now. I had forgotten just how much insight Ms. Johnson shared, not just about fencing but about perseverance and teamwork, skills that she used to great effect in both her professional and athletic endeavors.   Ms. Johnson started her athletic career on the back of a horse, then got involved in fencing at the age of 13 when the Pentathletes at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio asked her to attend a tournament and help keep time and score. For three solid months she was terrible at fencing until the fateful day her coach exasperatedly switched the foil to her left hand….less than four years later she made the Junior World Team. You’ll hear her talk about what it was like to be on the Olympic Team the year President Carter boycotted the Games.   She was very successful in her own fencing career but then used it as a springboard to promote Women’s Sabre and equal access for women and minorities. She became the first woman to complete a four-year term as President of US Fencing and was one of the first women on the Fencing Officials Commission. She’ll also talk about her role in getting Women’s Sabre into the Olympics, the initial fallout from it, and the eventual success of ALL weapons that stemmed from those medals earned in Athens.   This is a very interesting interview with a very interesting woman: fencer, Valencia College President, San Jose State alum, Olympian, teammate, and advocate. Enjoy!

Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, February 26, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for the final episode of Clear and Convincing’s first season.  We’ll be discussing new developments in some of the cases we’ve covered since we launched last year, including the status of appeals filed by Jeffrey MacDonald, Jodi Arias, Scott Peterson, Dalia Dippolito and Stacey Johnson.  We’ll talk about the recent developments in the Alstory Simon, Larry Swearingen, Kevin Cooper and Steven Avery cases.  Finally, we’ll talk about the status of Rodney Reed, Hank Skinner and Adnan Syed cases and discuss some of the cases we plan to cover the during our second season.  We’re a live show and questions are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.    

In this episode, the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching’s assistant director for educational technology, Stacey Johnson, recently talked with Kylie about a new practicum the CFT launched aimed at preparing grad students to teach online. Stacey and Kylie discuss the origin and structure of the practicum, as well as a really useful framework for teaching online that Kylie learned about while designing the practicum.

Sean and Gav get back into action and take a look at the upcoming FIE Congress. Sean interviews the Chair of the Women & Fencing Council, Dr Stacey Johnson.The season gets underway with the first Senior World Cups from Tallinn (women's epee), Orleans (women's sabre) and Bonn (men's foil).But the interesting question is who will win our much-coveted Coolest Fencer on the Planet award?

This fall, two members of the Leading Lines team, working completely independently, brought interviews with university educators about shared language programs. In each case, a group of colleges and universities got together to offer online language courses. These are courses that wouldn’t have enough enrollment to run at a single institution, but across three or four institutions, there’s a healthy demand. With declining enrollments in higher education and with colleges and universities looking for creative ways to collaborate, we may see more shared course programs like these, and not just in the languages. In our last episode, Vanderbilt’s Stacey Johnson spoke with Denison University’s Gabrielle Dillmann about teaching German and Arabic across multiple institutions. In this episode, we consider a shared languages program in which Vanderbilt participates, the Duke-UVA-Vanderbilt Partnership for Less Commonly Taught Languages. These are indeed less commonly taught languages: Haitian Creole, Tibetan, and K’iche’ Maya. My Vanderbilt colleague John Sloop talks with Ingeborg Walther of Duke University, who coordinates the program, about the origins of the partnership, how language learning works in hybrid and virtual spaces, and where the partnership is going.

On April 2, 1993, the partially nude body of Carol Heath was found on the living room floor of her duplex apartment in DeQueen, Arkansas.  Ms. Heath’s young children were in the apartment at the time of the murder, but were not harmed.  On April 14, 1993, police in Albequerque, New Mexico arrested Stacey Johnson after he falsely identified himself.  Johnson offered the officers $5,000.00 each to let him go.  He also told them that he had killed someone in Arkansas.  Johnson was returned to Arkansas, where he faced a capital murder charge.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, September 18, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the case against Johnson, his trials, post-conviction DNA results and the postponement of his execution date in April, 2017, to pursue additional DNA testing.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.

In this episode, we feature an interview Stacey Johnson conducted for her podcast, We Teach Languages, with Gabriele Dillmann, associate professor of German at Denison University, a small liberal arts college in Ohio. Gabriele is the director of the Great Lakes Colleges Association’s Shared Languages Program. The program features language courses taught at one school in the consortium that are offered to students at other schools through virtual classrooms. This makes it possible for a school like Denison to offer upper-level language courses that are often under-enrolled, as well as less commonly taught languages that wouldn’t ordinarily be available on every college campus. Gabriele shares the origin of the program, the challenges it has faced, the technology that makes it work, and the value it brings to language students.

Ahead on Biotechnology Focus Radio : Bellus Health back in the game with a new therapeutic asset, BC Cancer Agency scientists make two breakthrough discoveries, and RepliCel Life Sciences gets by with a little help from its friends. We have this and more in store for you on this week’s show. Welcome to another episode of Biotechnology Focus Radio. I’m your host Shawn Lawrence, here to give you a rundown of this week’s top stories on the Canadian biotech scene.   Our first story this week takes us to CALGARY, AB where a team of Canadian physicians and researchers are believed to be the first in the world to have used gene therapy to treat a patient with Fabry disease, a rare inherited enzyme deficiency that can damage major organs and shorten lifespan. Specifically, people with the disease have a gene called GLA that doesn’t function as it should; as a result their bodies are unable to make the correct version of a particular enzyme that breaks down a fat called Gb3. A buildup of Gb3 can lead to problems in the kidneys, heart and brain. In their experimental trial, the researchers led by Dr. Aneal Khan, a Alberta Health Services medical geneticist and member of the Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary collected a quantity of a Fabry patient’s own blood stem cells then used a specially engineered virus to augment those cells with copies of the fully functional gene that is responsible for the enzyme. The altered stem cells were then transplanted back into the patient on Jan. 11, 2017. While Dr. Khan says it’s too soon to say whether this therapy will ultimately be a long-term treatment for the disease, based on the team’s success in animal trials, he is hopeful it will be a beneficial to patients Dr. Jeffrey Medin, a researcher with the Medical College of Wisconsin and the project’s principal investigator, adds that the trial is a major step forward in treating inherited genetic diseases in adults. The treatment, which has been approved by Health Canada for experimental purposes, is also believed to be the first trial in Canada to use a lentivirus in gene therapy. In this case, the specially modified virus was stripped of its disease-causing capability and augmented with a working copy of the gene that’s responsible for the missing enzyme. The project is being funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Kidney Foundation of Canada. The Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax and the University Health Network in Toronto are also recruiting people with Fabry disease for the trial. In R&D news, a team of BC Cancer Agency scientists has made two exciting drug discoveries that could potentially allow for new approaches to target various cancers more specifically, through the exploitation of mutations found only in cancer cells and not normal cells. The first discovery, which has already led to a clinical trial, exploits the inability of BRCA1/2 deficient cancers to repair their own DNA. The second discovery is of a drug-like molecule that can alter the way cells translate genetic information into proteins. Both discoveries were made by Dr. Sam Aparicio, head of the Department of Breast and Molecular Oncology, and his research team at the BC Cancer Agency.The first success in this area is a discovery published in Nature Communications, where Dr. Aparicio’s team has discovered that the drug, CX-5461, originally developed for cancers of the blood and lymph system, can be repurposed as a drug treatment for breast cancer. Still early in its clinical development life cycle, CX-5461 has been shown through Dr. Aparicio’s latest work, to bind to the DNA of certain regions of the genome causing it to fold up and interrupt the DNA copying process. Thus, the compound is selectively active in tumours from patients with mutations in the BRCA1/2 gene, known to cause a strong familial predisposition to breast cancer, and account for approximately 15 per cent of the population with the disease. The study is currently in Phase 1 of a multi-centre clinical trial coordinated by Canadian Cancer Trials Group, which began in June of 2016. Phase two will accept even more patients to determine whether the activity found through preclinical studies is reflected in responses in patients. Both Dr. Aparicio and Dr. Karen Gelmon, senior scientist, medical oncologist and the clinical trial lead for the study add that if the trial is successful, they then hope to expand testing to other types of cancer in the near future. In addition to the CX-5461 findings, a second paper published in Nature Communications communicates the discovery of a different prototype drug, a compound called ‘T3’, engineered to alter the way that cells translate DNA, through splicing of RNA, into proteins. According to the researchers, this small, yet highly-potent drug-like molecule, currently in lab-testing, is being used to understand how different breast cancer cells might be susceptible to having RNA splicing interrupted. The drug molecule interferes with the molecular machinery that stiches gene sequences together to make fully functional proteins. Mutations in RNA splicing genes and defects in splicing have been found in diverse cancers, including breast cancer. The prototype drug molecules are allowing Dr. Aparicio and his team to seek out situations where cancer cells are uniquely susceptible to interference with RNA splicing. As alluded to, both drug development studies are currently centered in breast cancer treatment, but hope to expand to other types, including prostate and ovarian. Dr. Aparicio and his team’s work was supported with strategic funding from the BC Cancer Foundation. In Business new, two European firms are teaming up with Vancouver based regenerative medicine company, RepliCel Life Sciences Inc.to assist RepliCel in getting its commercial-grade RCI-02 dermal injector prototypes manufactured and tested. One of the partnering firms, AMI, is an Austrian manufacturer of medical technology based near the shores of Lake Constance, within easy reach of Germany and Switzerland. AMI develops, manufactures and distributes their medical products throughout the world. All of them are made according to the highest quality standards and enable doctors to take even better care of their patients. The second partner, Art of Technology (AoT), is based in Zurich Switzerland and is an independent contract developer specializing in the design, development and miniaturization of complex customer specific electronic devices and embedded systems for use in industrial, medical and space applications. The RCI-02 injector itself was designed with input from dermatologists, industrial designers, and electronic and medical device engineers to improve the delivery of a variety of injectables in a controlled, precise manner, removing the risks and uncertainties of injection outcomes currently resulting from manually operated, single-needle syringes. According to RepliCel president and CEO, Lee Buckler, it is the world’s first motorized injection device with programmable depth and volume, a built-in Peltier element for pre-injection anaesthetising, and interchangeable needle head configurations. It is designed to deliver a variety of injectable substances including cells, dermal fillers, drugs or biologics intradermally (dermis), subcutaneously (fat) or intramuscularly (muscle) via an array of needle configurations ranging from a single needle to a 16 needle configuration (4×4) on one head. Buckler adds that the execution of these agreements covers what RepliCel believes to be the final stages needed to prepare RCI-02 for a market authorization application in the form of a CE mark in Europe. The company hopes to have the device ready for a CE mark application and in the hands of a licensing and commercial partner next year. Our next story takes us to the Maritime provinces where the Terry Fox Research Institute is investing $5-million in support of New Brunswick researchers and their colleagues at other cancer centres in Canada to study how new precision medicine tools could improve, and potentially save the lives of patients diagnosed with the incurable cancer of the blood and bone marrow, known as multiple myeloma. The initiative is known as the Multiple Myeloma Molecular Monitoring (M4) Study, and Dr. Tony Reiman, a medical oncologist and professor at the University of New Brunswick, will lead the team, which comprises researchers and clinicians at multiple sites including Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. Dr. Reiman says that he hopes the five-year study will result in game-changing new approaches to identifying, treating and monitoring the disease in patients, including those who are at high risk of relapse. His team in Saint John will organize all the participating centres as well as conduct its own research and receive and bank specimens (blood and marrow) from the 250 myeloma patients that will participate in the project. Additionally, M4 study team members will use tests based on advanced techniques like immunoglobulin gene sequencing, multiparameter flow cytometry, PET scans, circulating tumour DNA analysis, and novel drug resistance assays to evaluate the patient specimens and other biosamples. Principal investigators at the partner sites are: Drs. Donna Reece and Suzanne Trudel, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre; Dr. Nizar Bahlis, University of Calgary; and Dr. François Bénard, BC Cancer Agency. Patients will be recruited by the study investigators at their own sites. Principal investigators Drs. Reece and Trudel (PM) explain their role in M4 study in the following audio. BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc., a HACKENSACK, N.J.- based company developing adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, has signed an agreement with CCRM in the hopes of furthering its market authorization request for NurOwn®.  For our new listeners, CCRM is a Toronto-based company focused on developing and commercializing regenerative medicine technologies, specifically cell and gene therapies. Through the agreement, CCRM will help Brainstorm explore opportunities to access Health Canada’s early access pathway for treatment of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).  If NurOwn® qualifies for Health Canada’s “Notice of Compliance with Conditions” pathway, it could be authorized in Canada for distribution in early 2018. Through the agreement, the company will work Patrick Bedford, manager of clinical translation and regulatory affairs at CCRM.

For our final story, nearly a year since it’s failed KIACTA™ Phase 3 trial and subsequently being forced into pulling the plug on its KIACTA program, BELLUS Health is back from the brink as the Montreal-based company announced a new partnership and licensing deal with The NEOMED Institute to take over the development and commercialization activities for a potential new treatment for chronic cough. According to Bellus stakeholders,, this is a transformative transaction as this exclusive worldwide license agreement adds to the company’s pipeline a potentially best-in-class drug candidate, BLU-5937, an asset which was formerly known as NEO5937.  Its development through  the P2X3 antagonist program was initiated by AstraZeneca scientists in Montreal, and assigned to NEOMED in October 2012 when the NEOMED Institute was first launched. It was selected as a drug candidate to advance towards the clinic based on development efforts and extensive pre-clinical work in chronic cough done at NEOMED. According to Roberto Bellini, president and CEO of the company, the drug now going by its new name BLU-5937  will be a core focus of BELLUS’s drug development efforts. About the condition, Chronic cough is a cough that lasts eight weeks or longer and significantly impacts quality of life, with significant social (exclusion, embarrassment, difficulty speaking), physical (sleep deprivation, rib fracture, vomiting) and psychosocial (anxiety, depression) repercussions. It is estimated that in the U.S. alone, more than 2.7 million patients suffer from chronic cough that is not controlled by currently available medications. How BLU-5937 works to treat it, is it acts on a clinically validated target in the chronic cough pathway, the P2X3 receptor. Both the company and NEOMED believe BLU-5937 has the potential to become a best-in-class treatment option because of its superior potency and selectivity for the P2X3 receptor. These properties suggest BLU-5937 will be effective and less likely to cause a problematic side effect seen with less-selective drugs: taste disturbances that are significant enough to affect drug compliance. Under the terms of the agreement, BELLUS Health will pay NEOMED an upfront fee of $3.2 million, consisting of $1.7 million in cash with $1.5 million worth of BELLUS Health common shares (Approximately 5,802,177 shares). NEOMED will also be entitled to receive a royalty on net sales-based revenues. Additionally, in lieu of milestone payments, a certain portion of all other revenues received by BELLUS Health from BLU-5937 will be shared with NEOMED according to a pre-established schedule whereby the shared revenue portion decreases as the program progresses in development.
