I've been so lucky this week to cross paths with several beloved friends and colleagues, in some cases for the first time in ages. One of those friends of many years' standing is the legendary countertenor Drew Minter, with whom I made my very first appearances on the New York concert stage… well, a few years back now! Seeing Drew made me think not only to his influence on me in my early years of singing, but also of the influence of the earliest (and still to my mind the greatest) of all American countertenors, Russell Oberlin. A few years ago, I dedicated a pair of episodes to him, and today I present to you the second of those episodes, originally fashioned exclusively for my Patreon subscribers, yet another “refurbished” Countermelody episode that now sees the light of day. I explore Oberlin's performances of medieval and renaissance music, both with the New York Pro Musica (The Play of Daniel, Dufay, and Dowland) and with the Experiences Anonymes record label (Byrd and 13th Century French Polyphony). I also offer examples of Oberlin's expertise in performance of baroque music, offering two Bach arias (one performed with Leonard Bernstein, the other with Glenn Gould), and several Handel selections, including a complete cantata from one of his rarer LP releases. In addition, we hear a live excerpt of his Oberon in Midsummer Night's Dream opposite the late British soprano Joan Carlyle, as well as a surprising outing as one of the commedia dell'arte players in Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos, opposite the Zerbinetta of the great African American coloratura soprano Mattiwilda Dobbs. There are additional surprises along the way. The episode opens with a heartfelt tribute to Drew, my reunion with whom prompted this episode in the first place. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Our guest in this episode, is Dr. Jeff Gross, a pioneering neurological surgeon turned regenerative medicine specialist, is passionate about helping people live healthier, more vibrant lives. He shares his journey from traditional medicine to a holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of health span over lifespan. Key points discussed include:* Prioritize health span: Focus on quality of life, not just quantity of years.* Combat inflammation: Adopt lifestyle habits to reduce cellular stress.* Activate natural healing: Leverage sleep, exercise, and nutrition for regeneration.Listen to the podcast for the full conversation.Unlocking Longevity: Dr. Jeff Gross on Extending Health SpanWhen you listen to Dr. Jeff Gross in conversation with Jürgen Strauss, you quickly realize this isn't just another chat about living longer. It's a masterclass in living better for longer—a distinction that's both subtle and profound. Dr. Gross, a pioneering neurological surgeon turned regenerative medicine specialist, brings a refreshing blend of scientific rigor and practical wisdom to the table.At its heart, this conversation is about empowering listeners to activate their body's natural healing and longevity mechanisms. Dr. Gross and Jürgen Strauss explore not just how to add years to life, but how to fill those years with health, energy, and meaning.Key Takeaways* The distinction between lifespan and health span is crucial; the goal is not just to live longer, but to live healthier for longer. [0:01:30]* Chronic inflammation is the common pathway for most age-related decline; suppressing it is central to healthy longevity. [0:05:30]* Regenerative medicine leverages both ancient wisdom and modern science, focusing on natural healing, stem cells, and anti-inflammatory strategies. [0:07:00]* Sleep, exercise, and hormesis (beneficial stress) are foundational for activating the body's own regenerative capacity. [0:16:00]* Nutrition, especially minimizing processed foods and sugars while prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients, is medicine for longevity. [0:36:00]* Anyone, regardless of current health, can benefit from adopting small, consistent longevity habits. [0:29:30]The Journey from Neurosurgery to Regenerative MedicineDr. Gross's professional journey is as inspiring as it is instructive. He began in the high-stakes world of neurosurgery, but it was his patients' questions and needs that nudged him toward regenerative medicine. He realized that fixing what's broken isn't enough; true healing means addressing the root causes. This shift wasn't about abandoning science, but about expanding it—embracing both cutting-edge research and time-tested wisdom from around the world. [0:01:30]The Science of Aging: Inflammation, Stem Cells, and the Body's Natural WisdomDr. Gross has a gift for making the complex simple. He explains that chronic inflammation is the silent saboteur of healthy aging, quietly eroding our vitality. Stem cells, meanwhile, are the body's natural repair crew—ready to leap into action if we give them the right environment. He draws on both modern biochemistry and ancient traditions, showing that the best solutions often blend old and new. [0:05:30] [0:07:00]Practical Strategies for Extending Health SpanWhat's truly empowering is how actionable Dr. Gross's advice is. Sleep, exercise, and hormesis (those little, beneficial stresses like cold showers or fasting) are all within reach. He doesn't preach perfection; instead, he encourages small, sustainable changes that add up over time. It's about building habits, not chasing hacks. The message: start where you are, and keep moving forward. [0:16:00] [0:29:30]Nutrition as Medicine: What to Eat, What to Avoid, and Why It MattersFood, in Dr. Gross's world, is both fuel and medicine. He urges us to minimize processed foods and sugars, and to embrace proteins, healthy fats, and micronutrients. It's not about deprivation, but about making choices that support our body's natural resilience. He reminds us that every meal is an opportunity to invest in our future health. [0:36:00]Mental Wellbeing and the Mind-Body ConnectionDr. Gross doesn't neglect the mind. He highlights the importance of sleep, breathwork, and stress management—not as afterthoughts, but as pillars of health. Simple practices, like deep breathing or mindful movement, can have outsized effects on our well-being. He's candid about his own journey, admitting he's not a meditation guru, but he's always learning and experimenting. [0:33:00]The Future of Regenerative Medicine: Hope, Innovation, and EmpowermentLooking ahead, Dr. Gross is optimistic. He sees regenerative medicine moving toward prevention, root-cause solutions, and less reliance on surgery or pharmaceuticals. The future, he believes, is about empowering individuals to take charge of their health, with science and tradition working hand in hand. It's a vision that's both hopeful and practical—a roadmap for anyone ready to invest in a longer, healthier, more vibrant life. [0:48:00]Action Items* Start or increase regular exercise, even if it's just walking—movement is the most accessible longevity tool. [0:50:30]* Add one new longevity habit: floss daily, try a cold shower, or introduce sublingual melatonin at bedtime. [0:31:00]* Reevaluate your nutrition: reduce processed foods and sugars, increase protein and healthy fats, and treat food as medicine. [0:36:00]* Track your sleep and experiment with improvements—consider a wearable or app, but always check in with how you feel. [0:22:00]* Share feedback or questions with the podcast host to guide future deep-dives on topics that resonate. [0:49:30]Next Steps* Explore more about regenerative medicine and Dr. Gross's work at recelebrate.com [0:49:00]* Consider which longevity habits you can implement this week—start small, but start now. [0:50:30]* If interested in specific topics (e.g., hormone optimization, stem cell therapies, mental health strategies), suggest them for future episodes. [0:49:30]SummaryDr. Jeff Gross's conversation is a breath of fresh air in the world of health and longevity. He combines expertise with empathy, and science with soul. If you're ready to rethink what's possible for your own health span, his insights are a great place to start. Remember, it's not just about living longer, but about living better for longer.ActionWrite comments to Jürgen on his podcast pages and let him know, like and subscribe to his material and share the comments.

Steve Snyder Hill - OSU ScandalApr 8, 2024The OSU Dr. Strauss incident refers to the sexual misconduct scandal involving Dr. Richard Strauss, a former athletic team doctor, and physician at Ohio State University (OSU) from 1978 to 1998. To date, 521 male survivors have come forward saying they were assaulted during his tenure at the university. The abuse took place in various settings, including medical examinations, athletic facilities, and Strauss' off-campus clinic.OSU has been criticized for its failure to act on numerous complaints and reports against Strauss during that time, which allowed the abuse to continue for years. In response to the investigation, OSU has apologized to the victims and says it has taken steps to implement new policies and procedures to protect students and ensure accountability, all while continuing to fight survivors in court for over five years. The case has sparked a broader conversation about the need for systemic change in institutions to prevent sexual misconduct and prioritize the safety and well-being of students.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

As humans, we have an immense capacity for love and wisdom, with the power to be a source of light in the world.

Exploring a concept known as the human energy consciousness field may offer insights that can help us transfigure these patterns and achieve mental, emotional, and physical healing. As an expert on the human energy field and the healing sciences, Donna Evans Strauss currently serves on the Board and is the Dean of Year Two Studies at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in Florida and Japan. Donna also created the Brennan Integration Practitioner Program, which is a master's degree, two-year supervisory program specializing in psycho-energetic healing methods.

Our guest in this episode is James Hipkin, a vivacious marketing strategist and digital agency leader who's spent decades helping businesses cut through the marketing noise with authentic, customer-centered strategies. James delights in challenging the status quo, advocating for marketing that genuinely adds value and using AI as a creative ally (not a replacement!) to keep the human touch alive. In his upbeat conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, James ditches “icky marketing” in favor of meaningful customer pathways and demonstrates how curiosity, clarity, and compassion drive long-term business success.Key points discussed include:* Transforming “Call to Action” into Customer Pathways: James encourages a mindset shift, inviting customers along value-filled journeys instead of simply shouting for attention.* Blending Human Creativity with AI for Better Results: He joyfully shares how AI can spark ideas, provide audience insights, and enhance marketing—while always keeping people at the heart.* Building Relationships for Sustainable Growth: James underscores that true marketing success is about lasting relationships, focusing on customer value beyond the first sale.This episode is packed with refreshing ideas and practical inspiration for marketers ready to innovate with empathy, measurement, and a dash of fun!Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with James HipkinChampioning Value-Based Marketing Over "Icky" TacticsStep into the world of marketing that puts people first with James Hipkin, a marketing strategist and digital agency leader who joined me, Jürgen Strauss, on the InnovaBuzz podcast for a vibrant discussion. James has spent decades rallying against what he calls "icky marketing"—those manipulative, hard-sell tactics that leave everyone feeling a little grimy. Instead, he champions a marketing ethos rooted in creating real value for customers and businesses alike. His approach is all about forging genuine connections and focusing on knowledge-sharing, where education and trust replace the noise of pushy promotions.James's mission is to transform marketing, one business owner at a time. He believes great marketing brings value not only to the business but, most importantly, to the customer. By focusing on educating the ideal audience and nurturing relationships, James shows how we can move away from the transactional and toward the transformational.The Mindset Shift: From Calls to Action to Customer PathwaysA standout moment in our conversation was James' bold proposal: stop shouting "Call to Action" and start building "Pathways." The typical call to action often feels like a marketer barking orders, rather than an invitation. James encourages us to create "people like you pathways"—roads marked with relevant information, gentle invitations, and meaningful touchpoints.For example, James described how he used AI to brainstorm alternatives to the tired “related products” label in e-commerce. He then checked these options with his team and polled the client's audience, ensuring the final choice resonated. This approach transforms the customer experience from a pushy sales pitch to a helpful, human-guided journey.Prioritizing the Second Sale and True Customer RelationshipsJames reminds us that the most important sale is not the first—it's the second. He champions a philosophy where marketing is seen as the beginning of a relationship, not the end. Businesses that focus on ensuring customers return are the ones who thrive; after all, if you can create a repeat buyer, chances are they'll keep coming back for more.We shared stories about brands that either courted us for one quick transaction or truly invested in our long-term success. When we genuinely care about ongoing customer success, we're building trust, nurturing advocates, and creating fertile ground for innovation. The game isn't about the big win; it's about showing up, again and again, for your customers.Bringing Humanity Into AI-Driven MarketingWith the AI wave sweeping through marketing, James stands out with his level-headed, human-first approach. Rather than surrendering creativity or empathy to technology, he leverages AI as a brainstorming partner—a tool for generating ideas and stimulating discussion. For instance, he uses AI to analyze customer interviews and online forums, but always brings the final decision back to the team for a human touch.This collaborative approach sparks creativity and widens perspective. AI provides the stimulus, but people make the final call, ensuring that empathy and authenticity remain at the heart of every campaign.Grounding Innovation in Data and MeasurementJames brings with him the rigor of the direct marketing world—a place where every strategy lives or dies by data. He believes great marketing is a three-legged stool: strategy (who and why), planning (how and when), and, most critically, measurement. Without that third leg, businesses wobble, never quite sure what's working or why.He shares anecdotes of clients spread thin across social channels, uncertain which efforts yielded real results, until simple tracking and data analysis revealed the highest-impact activities. By focusing on meaningful data, not vanity metrics, James helps his clients double down on what truly works and prune the rest.Unlocking Customer Insights Through AI-Augmented InterviewsJames is passionate about democratizing the powerful customer research methods once reserved for big brands. His solution? Use guided customer interviews, audio transcriptions, and AI trained with deep marketing psychology to create rich, nuanced customer avatars and journey maps—without breaking the bank. This process gives even the smallest business a window into customer motivations, desires, and language, ensuring that every marketing message hits home.He's careful, too, to blend classic rigor with innovative shortcuts. Analyzing subreddit discussions or online forums through AI, using a well-crafted questionnaire, may not match a $50,000 research project—but it's miles ahead of guesswork. Objective, data-backed insights are now within reach for everyone.Staying True to Strategy in a Shiny Object WorldWith all the new tools and trends vying for our attention, it's easy to get distracted. James urges business owners to resist the lure of the next shiny object and instead double down on what's working. Start with a few core tactics, get really good at them, and then iterate for excellence. His advice is to measure, learn, and improve—rather than constantly chasing novelty.James also emphasizes the importance of building a strong team, welcoming their input, and sometimes just saying "no"—to clients, trends, or ideas that don't serve the strategy. The secret to longevity and sustainable growth isn't in doing more things, but in doing the right things really well.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are James's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative: Get out of your own head.* Best thing for new ideas: Shift your perspective from inside out to outside in by observing what's really happening with your customers.* Favourite resource: Rely on the people on your team for input, ideas, and collaboration.* Keep project/client on track: Be willing to say no to clients and provide honest feedback, building relationships based on trust.* Differentiate: Clearly define and communicate your unique selling proposition by focusing on what's truly unique and motivating about your business.ActionJames encourages you to stop trying to "boil the ocean." Instead, choose a few things to focus on, learn to do them well, and then work on doing them even better. Let your customers guide you on what's working and do more of that, rather than chasing every new shiny trend.Reach OutIf you'd like to explore these ideas further or share your own marketing challenges, James welcomes a conversation.

This adds a layer of personality and passion to his professional persona.* The "Techie" with a Human Touch: James blends AI with real human interaction (customer interviews). In a world where AI is often seen as cold and impersonal, he's using it to amplify human voices and insights.* The "Storyteller" in a Marketing World: James uses stories and analogies to explain complex concepts, showing he's not just a marketing expert, but also a skilled communicator who can connect with people on a human level.* Bachelor of Music in composition and theory: James shared how a professor's advice—think of the most ridiculous solution, then work backwards—helped him break free from linear thinking, a creative exercise he's carried into his marketing career.Ready to humanize your marketing?

From the get-go, Deb's energy simply bubbles over, transforming what many might consider a dry subject into a dynamic, celebratory experience. It's this passion that underpins her signature DEB Method—a method rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and genuine joy.Deb believes that setting and getting goals shouldn't feel like another chore on the to-do list. Instead, it ought to invigorate us, spark creativity, and become a party everyone wants to attend. By infusing goal setting with enthusiasm and a sense of celebration, Deb empowers others to find delight and meaning in each step toward their dreams.The Foundation of Authentic Goals: Knowing What You WantOne of Deb's core beliefs is that successful goal setting starts with true self-awareness. She observes that all too often, people pursue goals that aren't genuinely theirs—falling into the “shoulds” handed down by others or dictated by circumstance. As she wisely puts it: “You can't get what you want unless you know what that is.” This insight, though deceptively simple, lies at the heart of her philosophy.Deb shares how, both in her own journey and in her coaching and workshops, she's seen people transform simply by reconnecting with what brings them joy. She encourages us to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves not what others expect us to do, but what genuinely lights us up from within. This intentional approach lays the groundwork for goals that are rooted in authenticity—goals that inspire commitment and create lasting fulfillment.Transforming Obligations into OpportunitiesWhat about those times when you're stuck in a job or obligation that isn't your passion? Deb offers a gentle, practical perspective. Not everyone can immediately leap away from the day-to-day things that don't light them up, and she's quick to acknowledge the realities—bills, families, and the necessities of life. But even within these constraints, there's space for joy.Deb proposes finding “a hit of joy” on the side, whether that's a creative project, a side hustle, or simply an activity that brings happiness. By letting these joyful pursuits fuel your spirit, you bring lightness into all areas of your life. Sometimes, these passion projects might even become a pathway to something bigger, but at the very least, they help make the less exciting responsibilities a bit more palatable.Building Your North Star: The DEB Method UnpackedAt the center of Deb's approach is her namesake DEB Method—Determine your mission, Explore your options, Brainstorm your path. The process begins with self-exploration, inviting you to visualize the life you want and craft both current and future bios, shaping your direction with clarity and intention. As Deb illustrates, this isn't just about dreamy thinking—it's about building a foundation, a “North Star,” that keeps your actions anchored and purposeful.The next steps encourage curiosity and creativity: exploring your options and then brainstorming the actionable steps to get there. By breaking down even big, ambitious goals into tangible, joyful pieces, Deb removes the intimidation and opens the door to real progress. It's a framework that honors both vision and practicality, always guided by what lights you up.Boundaries and Saying Yes to YourselfOf course, following your true path also means learning to say “no”—sometimes a gentle “not now”—to opportunities that don't align with your goals or mission. Deb's approach to boundaries is compassionate and generous: every “no” to something that isn't a fit is a “yes” to yourself and an invitation for someone else to shine in that space.She offers practical scripts and encouragement to help you navigate these choices without guilt or fear of missing out. By trusting your North Star, you make space for the opportunities that truly resonate, while giving others the gift of stepping into their own “yes.” It's about honoring yourself and your journey—without closing doors or burning bridges.Celebrating Wins and Fueling MotivationDeb is a champion of celebration, weaving it into every step of the goal-getting journey. She reminds us that too often, we get caught up in the slog of progress, forgetting to honor the moments of achievement along the way. Whether it's a tiny step forward or a major milestone, celebrating wins infuses you with the motivation to keep going.Her suggestion to keep a daily “win list” is deceptively powerful. Writing down one to three things you accomplished each day—even if it's just “I made it through”—builds an archive of positivity and progress. When doubt or fatigue creeps in, that list becomes a wellspring of encouragement, a reminder that you are, indeed, moving forward.From Passion to Action: Embracing Community and Moving ForwardFinally, no one achieves their dreams in isolation. Deb celebrates the magic of community—whether it's through goal groups, masterminds, or informal support networks. Sharing your wins, articulating your needs, and enthusiastically supporting others build an environment where success is magnetic and contagious.In Deb's world, action is iterative, fueled by passion and uplifted by others. She urges us to gift ourselves the time to discover what makes us unique, turn that spark into practical steps, and seek out the company of those who will cheer us on. After all, we are all part of a bigger ecosystem of possibility—and when we help one another rise, everyone wins.Conclusion: Your Invitation to Celebrate and ActDebra Eckerling's approach to goal setting is a vibrant invitation: bring more joy, authenticity, and connection into your journey. Start your own win list today. Write down those small victories. Reflect on what truly lights you up. And remember, whether you're taking your very first step or well on your way, celebrating your wins and building supportive connections will propel you forward. Let's make goal setting a party we all want to attend—one filled with laughter, passion, and purpose. Your goals are yours to discover and achieve. Keep moving, keep celebrating, and let your light shine!The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Deb's answers to the questions of our innovation round.

By cultivating a direct relationship with the project management tool, users experience improved clarity and efficiency. This development highlights David's commitment to transforming traditional approaches and providing cutting-edge solutions tailored for today's dynamic business environments.Challenges Can Spark CreativityDavid's approach to innovation often stems from the challenges he encounters, either personally or within his team. He nurtures an environment where identifying and solving problems leads to the development of valuable new products. Encouraging this problem-solving mindset is crucial for fostering creativity and driving business growth. This method not only leads to practical innovations but also ensures that the solutions developed are rooted in real-world needs and applications, aligning closely with the market demands.Conclusion: Embrace Rapid InnovationDavid Hirschfeld's conversation with Jürgen Strauss is a masterclass in effectively navigating the startup landscape.

"You could spill vast rivers of blue Danube ink try to encapsulate the enduring brilliance of Vienna and all that it has lavished on the world. It's the city that vaulted Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Strauss and his waltz into the world's consciousness. The city that unleashed the genius of Freud, published the world's first newspaper, conceived the delicious Torte, and was the powerbase for the imperial Hapsburgs. Vienna remains a city of culture, class and beauty; of churches, castles and concert halls." Read Mike's full article here. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Born in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa, Jacu Strauss' early years were marked by his imagination—crafting dollhouses from wine boxes and drawing urban streetscapes in the dirt. With limited access to TV or the internet, he turned to encyclopedias and magazines to fuel an inner world that laid the foundation for his future.At 18, he left for London on what was meant to be a brief gap year. It quickly turned into a journey through banking, architecture studies in New Zealand, and ultimately, back to the UK. His career took a turn when he joined Tom Dixon, where he helped dream up the transformative Sea Containers hotel.That philosophy continues to anchor his work as creative director at Lore Group, where he oversees a diverse portfolio of hotels. From the charming Pulitzer Amsterdam to the intimate sophistication of the Lyle in Washington, DC, Strauss designs with both whimsy and purpose—always seeking to humanize spaces through material, form, and story.This podcast is sponsored by StyleNations.

Daphne, by Richard Strauss, comes to Seattle Opera for two concert performances in January 2025. This gorgeous opera, based on Greek myth, is a splendid showcase for a fantastic orchestra. Jonathan Dean explains what Strauss learned from Wagner, tells this unfamiliar opera's story, and explores the meaning of the myth. Musical examples from the 2005 Decca recording of Daphne (West Deutscher Rundfunk Orchestra conducted by Semyon Bychkov, with Renee Fleming, Johan Botha, Michael Schade, Anna Larsson, Kwanchul Youn, Julia Kleiter, and Twyla Robinson); the 1983 EMI recording (Bayerischen Rundfunks conducted by Bernard Haitink, with Lucia Popp, Reiner Goldberg, Peter Schreier, Ortrun Wenkel, and Kurt Moll); and the 1965 Deutsche Gramophon recording (Vienna Symphony conducted by Karl Böhm, starring Hilde Gueden, James King, Fritz Wunderlich, Vera Little, and Paul Schöffler).

In this episode I return to Leo Strauss and Joseph Cropsey's History of Political Philosophy, to look at Strauss' own examination of Machiavelli. I focus on Machiavelli's strategic deployment of virtue and vice, and his comparison of Christianity and Paganism.

In her conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, Josselyne explores the power of shifting beliefs, living dreams now, and maintaining a focus on vision over vehicles for lasting fulfilment. Key points discussed include:* Shedding Limiting Beliefs for Dream Fulfilment: Josselyne shares her journey of overcoming the belief that art couldn't be a career, which led to achieving her dreams with ease.* Living Dreams in the Present: She emphasises creating visions that can be experienced now, urging us to manifest desired life experiences rather than postponing them to a future "someday."* Harnessing Vision Versus Vehicles: Josselyne explains the distinction between vision and vehicles, encouraging a focus on vision to navigate life's uncertain paths and avoid getting stuck on one method of achieving goals.This insightful conversation inspires us to unlock our potential by realising dreams in the present, focusing on unyielding visions to guide our journeys.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Listen to the PodcastShow Notes from this episode with Josselyne Herman-Saccio, Be UnMessableWithEmbracing the Unmessable With PhilosophyWelcome to an invigorating exploration of potential and resilience with the transformative leader, Josselyne Herman-Saccio. In her insightful conversation with Jürgen Strauss on the Innovabuzz podcast, Josselyne, a master coach and the creator of the "Unmessable With" philosophy, reveals how we can transform our lives by overcoming limiting beliefs. With experience spanning over three decades, she steers individuals towards living the lives of their dreams in the present, not in the elusive "someday." Let's delve into the core themes and insights from this inspiring dialogue.The Journey from Dreams to RealityJosselyne's own life is a blueprint of how dreams can transform into reality. Her journey from a pop star to a transformative coach is rich with lessons on overcoming limiting beliefs. She shares the pivotal moment in her early twenties when she questioned an ingrained belief that one cannot pursue art as a career. This epiphany marked the shift from seeing it as an unchangeable truth to seeing it as a mere belief. By shedding this limitation, she swiftly accomplished her dream of a music career, demonstrating the powerful unfolding when personal barriers are dismantled. Her story reminds us that living our dreams starts by questioning and transforming the narratives we tell ourselves.Understanding the Unmessable With ConceptAccording to Josselyne, being "unmessable with" is not about being tough or suppressing emotions; it's about staying committed to your vision regardless of external chaos. She emphasises that it's natural to react to life's upheavals, but the true art lies in transitioning from reaction to creation. This philosophy equips individuals to remain steadfast in their vision, enabling them to navigate life's unpredictabilities with grace and persistence. It's about developing the nimbleness to recalibrate swiftly and consistently focus on building the life envisioned.Crafting and Living Your Vision NowJosselyne brings forth a transformative approach to vision creation where one doesn't wait for someday. Instead, she encourages crafting and living your dreams in the present. Unlike goals, which are tangible endpoints, visions are lived experiences that aren't reliant on circumstances and are fulfillable in the moment. She emphasises that achieving tangible goals without an overarching vision often leads to emptiness, whereas a vision constantly rejuvenates and fulfils us. The process illuminates how aligning with one's vision can imbue life with purpose and lead to holistic success.The Balance of Vision and VehicleIn exploring the intricacies of breadth in life's pursuits, Josselyne talks about the significance of distinguishing between vision and vehicles. Often, individuals become overly fixated on specific paths (vehicles) and lose sight of their broader vision. Josselyne stresses that numerous vehicles exist to manifest one's vision, thus providing flexibility and adaptability. When setbacks occur, it's an opportunity to explore alternative avenues rather than perceiving them as dead ends. This approach ensures one remains open to possibilities, cultivating a dynamic balance between aspirations and the means to achieve them.Building Resilience while Staying True to Your VisionResilience, as Josselyne discusses, transcends bouncing back from adversity. It's intricately linked with being unmessable, where one not only recovers but continues to progress towards their vision. It's about identifying personal cues of reaction and having mechanisms like physical or mental exercises to shift back to a space of creation. By utilising these strategies, one fosters resilience that is not just about maintaining status quo but about thriving and evolving continuously in alignment with one's vision.Creating a Vivid Roadmap through Vision CraftingIn the transformative journey with her clients, Josselyne stresses crafting an explicit vision as a roadmap. Her method involves articulating experiences one seeks in life, transcending material goals, and centering on emotions like freedom or connection. By shifting focus to experience, individuals construct a vibrant framework that steers every aspect of life harmoniously. This creates an undivided life view, integrating personal and professional endeavours under a unifying vision, leading to enriched and fulfilling experiences.Conclusion: The Empowering Path of Living Your Version of SuccessJosselyne Herman-Saccio's conversation inspires us to embrace the joy of living a life not bound by fears or constraints but fuelled by our authentic visions. Her insights unravel the profound impact of questioning beliefs and creating present-moment experiences of our dreams. Josselyne's teachings challenge us to step beyond conventional boundaries, realising a life where resilience, vision, and excellence are the norm. Let her transformative philosophy inspire you to pursue your potential and redefine success.Call to ActionConsider what limiting beliefs might hold you back from living your dreams.

Niemand weet hoe en wanneer de handelsoorlog gaat eindigen. Zelfs aanstichter Donald Trump niet en toch moeten bedrijven de komende weken hun aandeelhouders een outlook voorschotelen. Gaan vertellen wat de impact is van die handelsoorlog op de cijfers. Het cijferseizoen begint, met misschien wel de meest chaotisch aanloop ooit.En wij van BNR Beurs gaan je proberen voor te bereiden op dat cijferseizoen. UBS verwacht dat de winst van Amerikaanse bedrijven dit jaar met 0 procent groeit. Waar zitten dan nog de lichtpuntjes en hoe staat het ervoor in Europa? Valt het daar mee of tegen? Je hoort het deze aflevering.Dan hebben we het ook over China. Dat slaat hard terug naar Trump en laat duidelijk merken niet bang te zijn voor hem en zijn heffingen. Met een directe aanval op Trump, die volgens China 'fout op fout' stapelt. De Chinezen beloven 'tot het einde' te vechten 'als de VS zijn zin doordrijft' en niet 'te buigen voor chantage'.Boos is ook Elon Musk. Hij is adviseur voor Trump, maar boos op een andere adviseur van Trump. De architect van de handelsoorlog is dat, Peter Navarro. Musk kan zijn bloed wel drinken, want 'zijn' Tesla wordt hard getroffen door de importheffingen. Volgens Musk is Navarro 'dommer dan een zak stenen' en 'echt een idioot'. Ook hebben we het over Apple. Dat verplaatst de productie van de iPhone voor een groot deel uit China. Precies wat Trump wilde! Al worden de telefoons niet in de VS gemaakt, maar ergens anders...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hoy 7 de abril Día Mundial de la Salud entrevista con Mónica Strauss sobre la importancia de entender que "la verdadera salud no se compra. Se construye. Se cuida. Se escucha." Mónica conversa con Lorena Mora-Mowry sobre cómo el bienestar actualmente se ve como "un commodity: algo que se compra, se consume y, muchas veces, se desecha." Mónica invita a "volver a casa. A nuestro cuerpo. A nuestra intuición" y hacerse algunas preguntas con honestidad: ¿Desde dónde estoy tomando decisiones sobre mi salud?, ¿Estoy nutriéndome… o solo cumpliendo instrucciones? y ¿Estoy comiendo para encajar… o para estar bien de verdad? Mónica Strauss es una psicóloga por la Universidad Iberoamericana y chef certificada por el Culinary Institute of America. Mónica habla sobre cómo descubrió que la comida va mucho más allá del placer o la nutrición: es medicina, memoria y transformación. Su búsqueda la llevó a especializarse en food coaching y profundizar en áreas clave como la microbiota, las hormonas, la salud cerebral y el bienestar en las diferentes etapas de la vida. Pero si algo la distingue es que no habla desde la teoría, sino desde la práctica. Si hay algo que Mónica tiene claro es que lo que te nutre sí importa. Y no solo en la alimentación, sino en cada decisión que tomamos sobre nuestro cuerpo, nuestra mente y nuestro entorno. Con lo que nutres sí importa.

While many OTs work in a fee for service model, the reality is that we are undergoing a seismic shift towards value based care. In fact it's estimated that 238.8 million Americans receive healthcare in a value-based care model. These already large numbers are expected to grow significantly in the coming years.OTs has tremendous potential in value-based care models. But, the reality is we are missing the boat.  That's because becoming involved in a value based care model involves a contracting process that can feel complicated. There has been MUCH written to support doctors and other medical providers in the value-based care process, and they are outpacing us.  But, in today's episode we break this information down for OTs. Our favorite value-base care expert, Dana Stauss, PT, DPT  is going to walk private practice owner Carlin Reaume through: identify value-based care opportunities locally, crafting a proposal, and ultimately drafting a contract. Let's be honest. This feels dense. But, this is exactly what we need to be learning, and we are here to set you up for success!You can find more details on this course here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/value-based-care-contracts Support the show Support the show

Matt Reed joins Ed Opperman to discuss the class action against OSU for historical sexual abuse.Ohio State University has paid out $60 million in settlement money in the last few years to hundreds of former students and athletes who say they were sexually abused decades ago by a school doctor.Its former president has publicly apologized “to each person who endured” abuse at the hands of the late Dr. Richard Strauss.And the university has repeatedly said it was on the side of the hundreds of men that Strauss preyed on from the 1970s to the 1990s, mostly under the guise of performing medical exams like hernia checks, which require a doctor to examine a patient's genitals.But faced with at least five more lawsuits from some 236 men alleging they too were molested by Strauss, OSU is now denying it ever “admitted” to any wrongdoing.WebsiteGo Fund MeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Joe, who covers sports business, did a great deep dive on why ESPN's big bet on ESPN BET has gone awry. What does this say about the current state of sports gambling? Have we reached peak sports gambling? Also, was ESPN's Around the Horn cancellation more about surrounding structure, or inability to match modern sports fan culture?
