This episode of the "Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell" podcast features an interview with Luke Gambale, who will be fighting in the upcoming Liberty Bell Brawl charity boxing event in Philadelphia to raise money for cancer research. Luke was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer when he was 30 years old. After undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy, he was told the cancer was incurable and he would need lifelong treatment. However, he later underwent surgery that successfully removed the tumor. He is now nearing 2 years cancer-free and sees the boxing match as a way to celebrate this milestone while fundraising for cancer charities. The hosts Todd and Julie, who are also cancer survivors, interview Luke about his cancer journey, decision to do the boxing match, training, and hopes for the event. Luke talks about ignoring health problems when he was younger, finally getting diagnosed, and going through intense cancer treatment. He provides details about his various surgeries. Luke then discusses how he learned about Haymakers for Hope events, committed to the boxing match, and started training at a local gym. He talks about staying motivated for the fundraising aspect. The hosts and Luke discuss what he's looking forward to about the upcoming media day when boxers meet their opponents. Luke also shares his excitement for fight night itself. He emphasizes that he sees the match as part of his healing journey and wants to raise money for cancer charities.Quotes(00:05:43) “To sort of have other people with you going through the exact same training regimen, same frustrations, maybe same fears, then also fundraising and having that on your shoulders is really, really helpful.”(00:43:13) “Luke, how do you live with the idea of kind of hanging over your head that you could get cancer again?”... “I mean, I could get hit by a car. I live in Philadelphia. There's a lot of bad things that could happen to me here. I would say with that it's definitely a driver just to make sure like doing all the right things to lower that chance”.(00:45:29) "Anyone can go sign up for a marathon. My brother signed up on three weeks notice and ran it. It was super awesome to do it with him.

In this episode of Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell, Todd and Julie interview Brian “Braveheart” Wallace, an alumni and former boxer from the 2018 Hope NYC event. Brian took up boxing for fitness after some time off from work to travel on a personal journey, and his friend Halvo convinced him to sign up for Haymakers for Hope.The episode explores Brian's journey with Haymakers - from his initial fears about boxing and being judged, to finding a welcoming community at the gym. He won his fight, but the ultimate accomplishment was honoring his mom, a 20-year cancer survivor. Brian reflects on special moments with his mom before and after his event, including her later becoming a beloved "ring card girl" at a future event. Quotes: (00:22:25) "I swear my chest is so tight just like thinking about this moment, right? Like, it's, it is, it's, it's, it's, but I, I can, I know that feeling so well. I will never forget that moment. I will never forget that feeling."(00:26:40) "That was the most special thing was, was doing this for her and, and kind of seeing it through and then finding her."(00:44:58) "But every event I've been to, every time I step in, every time I see [the] Dark Auditorium.

Jenna Taylor recounts her experience fighting for Haymakers for Hope, a charity that raises money for cancer research, care, awareness, and survivorship through charity boxing events. Jenna originally got involved after attending a co-worker's fight in 2017. Inspired by his fundraising effort and the spectator experience, she signed up for the next event to honor her grandfather who battled cancer. Throughout her Haymakers journey, Jenna has participated in multiple boxing bouts, marathons, and Polar Plunges. She even took a fight on 24 hours' notice to allow another fighter to still compete after a last minute cancellation. Through it all, Jenna has evolved mentally and emotionally. She credits Haymakers for instilling discipline, self-control, empowerment and changing her outlook to be more positive. Jenna cherishes the community she's found through Haymakers. Some of her closest friendships started at events, evident by a group trip to volunteer at the debut Philly fight. She tries to recruit new fighters and spread awareness, eager to contribute to the mission of “knocking out cancer” in any way possible. For anyone hesitant to sign up, her advice is simple: “Don't be a pussy.”Quotes:(00:02:34)"There's something about it. I was like, let's go. Let's do it. I talked to him after and I'd been present for his journey when he signed up to when he got in to media day through all of it. And it was just the whole experience. I was just like, I need that. Like every I saw the impact that he made and I wanted to do the same."(00:04:43) "I put one of those little billboards in my room with like the little letters and put ‘don't be a pussy' because there's days that I just did not want to go."(00:14:00) “The last point two of the marathon was walking up to Julie's fridge in her garage, grabbing a beer and walking back down to the end of the driveway and that hit our 26.”Resource Links:Donate to JennaDonate to Haymakers for HopeFollow Haymakers on InstagramHaymakers for Hope is an official 501(c)(3) charity organization that gives you the opportunity to fight back against cancer.

This episode of "Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell" features Jennifer Markowitz, a Haymakers for Hope charity boxing event participant. Jennifer was motivated to participate in Haymakers after her coach said that she could do it and that he believed in her, giving her the belief in herself. Her connection to the cause is personal, as she lost grandparents to cancer and her mom is a cancer survivor. On fight night, Jennifer experienced some issues with her headgear slipping off but kept fighting through it, showcasing her grit and determination. She sees boxing as transformative - it has allowed her to find confidence and empowerment while also connecting more to the passion and anger she feels around injustice. Quotes:(00:04:12) "That pushed me forward enough. I was able to say, well, if Noel says that I can do this, I can ignore those voices that say, well, You're supposed to be able to run also like a seven minute mile and you're supposed to be able to do this, this, this, and this. And I can't do those things. So therefore I can't, I was able to kind of ignore those little things and focus on the big picture of, well, somebody in this world believes I can do this, so I'm just going to do it."(00:23:02) "It's been really exciting to discover this other part of me because that you can be more than one thing has been really exciting."(00:28:17) "You have this big goal. Stay consistent, but focus on one day at a time. Check one box at a time.

Mike talks about how he got into boxing himself after a major weight loss transformation as a teenager.

He talks about both the physical and personal transformations he has witnessed and helping boxers overcome their fears and accomplish their goals. Julie, Todd and Mike also reflect on some of his most memorable Haymakers fighters over the years. Finally, Mike explains why fundraising for and running the NYC Marathon for Haymakers has been such a meaningful experience for him.Quotes:(00:19:19) "When you help a person accomplish that goal that they set out to accomplish, be it the W, be it to lose five or 10 pounds, to be able to run a mile in under seven minutes, being able to bench press more than their body weight, when something comes to fruition like that. It's the best feeling in the world."(00:18:09) "I think the hardest part of the training sometimes is convincing that person like, Hey man, someone's coming for your ass. You know, like you gotta, you gotta take the training serious." (00:24:32) "I feel like it's made me a better person, a better coach. And even though I don't fight anymore, a better fighter, because sometimes like I'm teaching something, a certain technique or a certain exercise or something, and then like, Oh, wait, that's how you do it or whatever."Resource Links:Donate to MikeDonate to Haymakers for HopeFollow Haymakers on InstagramHaymakers for Hope is an official 501(c)(3) charity organization that gives you the opportunity to fight back against cancer.

This episode of the Haymakers for Hope podcast features Chris Rohland, a former Haymakers charity boxer. Chris talks about how he first heard about Haymakers through a colleague at the Boston Globe who was preparing to fight. Although skeptical at first, Chris attended the fight and was blown away by the commitment of the fighters and the crowd support. A few years later, Chris decided to sign up to fight after encouragement from Haymakers co-founder Andrew Myerson and an offer to train from George Foreman III. Chris faced adversity in training due to injuries from a previous serious car accident. But with dedication and his trainer George's belief in him, he was able to get in fighting shape. On fight night, Chris left it all in the ring. He was filled with emotion after completing the demanding training and fighting for his father, who died of cancer at age 58. Chris says the experience taught him you have to fully commit to get results. He remains involved with Haymakers and says it has become an important part of his life.Timestamped Quotes:(00:00:44) "I always was looking for ways to honor my father, who died, you know, again from cancer when he was 58. And I'm 58 now, so it's kind of surreal for me to think that that was it for him, you know, 58."(00:20:53) "I remember Rod saying to me, Man, good thing we didn't have another couple rounds because I was getting gassed and you just kept coming." (00:21:36) "I sat down in the corner and started on taping myself and just kind of, and I'll admit it, I just kind of cried because you just left everything in that ring and it was, uh, It was amazing."(00:22:24) "Listen to your trainer and don't go against what he or she tells you what to do.

Everyone says that, but, but that we said that before we even knew about it, he made sounds weird to say he made the easy, the process so easy on all of us. My wife and I, his nurses, his doctors, he just went in with a, like, every day is a good day attitude."(00:21:22) "Oh, man. The internet can be a rabbit hole. Careful what you search. I say that because again, we were in this pandemic. We were between our four walls. It was just my wife and I. We just were told the diagnosis. One of us was in the hospital, but we were trying to figure all these things out and you can google anything and it doesn't apply to your situation."(00:33:00) "Boxing is really not easy. And to, to learn a sport as difficult as boxing on top of your work, on top of your family, fundraising, it's really challenging. And to watch 32 people.

https://youtu.be/Bmk3R-9ATa0 TJ Bonaventura is the Co-Founder of StudioPod, a full-service podcast media and production company based in Mexico City. We talk about the processes of using podcasts to create a content engine, how to repurpose your podcast content and the best ways to promote your podcast. --- Create A Content Engine With TJ Bonaventura Our guest is TJ Bonaventura, the CoFounder of StudioPod, a full-service podcast, media and production company. He runs from Mexico City. TJ, welcome to the show. Thanks, Steve. Happy to be here. It's great to have you here. It's great to have someone who runs a production agency, a podcast agency. That's pretty exciting. TJ, can you describe your entrepreneurial journey? How do you end up running a podcast agency? How does one do that? Of course. I don't know if I have a traditional background or not. I think everybody has their own unique background. I got into the entrepreneurial space a little bit later in life, about when I was in my late 20s, early 30s. I'm from Silicon Valley. If you think about it in terms of where I'm from, that's pretty late. A lot of people there start much earlier than that. Out of school, I took a job at a local sports radio station. That became my first love of sound and anything similar to podcasting. As one does, being from San Francisco and the Bay Area, I fell in love with the idea of being in tech and working for startups. I ended up doing that for about 8, 9, 10 years. Very quickly, I realized that I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I always had the spirit and always wanted to do it. It took me a little bit later in life to go ahead and start that. What ended up happening was I tried to start a podcast. I have always been a fan of podcasts. I was living in New York at the time. I tried to start a podcast with a good friend who was in San Francisco. What I realized, Steve, it was very difficult to be able to start this thing. This was back in 2016, 2017. I didn't know what equipment to buy. I didn't know how to record. I wasn't sure how to edit. I found that my friend and I were spending all of our time on basic tools and skills to start the show that we wanted to. A lot of our time wasn't focused on the important part, which was the content, how to market it, how to find guests, and all these things you know about. You've been doing this for a while. That struck the idea of why doesn't a production company or agency exist where a podcaster can't just record it, hand it off to somebody. From there, the production agency would be able to do everything about marketing, create a cover art, create social content, so on and so forth. From there, that was 2017, 2018. Started the business by taking over a studio space in San Francisco. We quickly pivoted to realizing that businesses are going to be getting into podcasting. Here we are where StudioPod Media, me and my cofounder, Julian, now have somewhere around twenty different contractors and employees working for us across the world. Work exclusively with B2B organizations to use podcasting as part of their marketing strategy. It's been quite the journey. Obviously, it's a lot to put your podcast out. It takes a lot of organization and a lot of moving pieces. To have a one-stop shop where you basically take care of everything for people. All they have to do is do the fun stuff, which is talking to people like you and recording content. It's a great thing. That leads us to the framework that we were talking about because a podcast is a great medium for many professionals and business people. I love podcasting. It's a great way to connect with people, build relationships, and have interesting conversations with like-minded people. You guys have actually developed the framework to help simplify it for people. You call it the Podcast Solar System. Why did you call it the solar system and what does it allow someone to do? How does it work? I'm a big fan of analogies. I'm a big visual person.

The only thing constant in life is change. From changing markets to challenging times, employees are always navigating change. When times are tough, it's not just important to have strong workplace financial benefits, but to communicate them effectively as well. Cheryl Palmerini, Chief Administrative Officer for Global Human Resources for Morgan Stanley, sits down to cover how companies can provide resources to support employees during important periods of their lives, both inside and outside the workplace.Visit MorganStanley.com/atwork for more insights on workplace financial benefits.Invested at Work is brought to you by Morgan Stanley at Work, produced by StudioPod Media.

Maurice Carrubba—also known as the Warren Buffett of restaurateurs—has a knack for finding classic restaurants with great bones and transforming them into go-to dining experiences. Born and raised in Sicily, Maurice moved to Silicon Valley in 1989 where he now runs a restaurant group and a catering company and employs over 150 people. Maurice also runs a nearby farm that sustains two of his restaurants, and he is working to reduce his carbon footprint and foster a culture of respecting and taking care of the earth to younger generations. Tune in to hear all about how Maurice is revolutionizing the food industry.  Before any world-changing innovation, there was a moment, an event, a realization that sparked the idea before it happened. This is a podcast about that moment — about that idea. Before IT Happened takes you on a journey with the innovators who imagined — and are still imagining — our future. Join host Donna Loughlin as her guests tell their stories of how they brought their visions to life.  JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (03:17) - From Sicily to Silicon Valley - “My father, who was an artist with masonry and stonework, they seeked him out, found him all the way in Sicily, flew him out. He looked at the job, he says, ‘Yeah, I can do this.' They were like, ‘Well, 12 other people have told us you you couldn't do it. Are you sure you can do it?'” (09:26) - Opening the first family-run restaurant - “My father said, ‘Look, how about we put a little coffee shop here? Would you mind? You know, I'd love to do that. I want to do something with my kids.' He knew I loved food at a very young age and I said, ‘Dad, I'd love the opportunity.'” (11:30) - Dishes that define family and taste like tradition - “We love to eat. There's so many different dishes, but I guess it depends on the time of year.” (15:45) - The Warren Buffett of restaurants - “I purchased some companies that were very good companies, but unfortunately had challenges and operations issues. I was able to take those companies and take those customers and build those companies back up from there.” (18:31) - The GrandView and growing the restaurant group - “When we purchased the property, we knew it was going to be a huge undertaking. There was a lot of work that needed to be done structurally.” (28:07) - Grandview Farms and the philosophy behind it - “We don't use any pesticides. We dry farm when we can. The property is all on solar. We compost our scraps from our restaurants.” EPISODE RESOURCES:  Connect with Maurice on https://www.linkedin.com/in/maurice-carrubba-75bbaa1b?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3B5RUoBE41SyqCCY4xygK5Qg%3D%3D (Linkedin) and https://twitter.com/justcatering?s=20&t=yLv_UYOjmr5BlYotxq1enw (Twitter) Learn more about http://www.grandviewfarmssj.com/ (Grandview Farms) Visit Maurice's restaurants and venues https://www.cafferiace.com/about (Caffe Riace), https://www.grandviewsanjose.com/ (The GrandView),  https://www.laforetrestaurant.com/ (La Foret), https://www.osteriatoscanapaloalto.com/ (Osteria Toscana Palo Alto) and https://sanbenitohouse.com/ (San Benito House) Thank you for listening!

Special thanks to the entire Coa crew! JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (02:04) - Battling mental health and creating Madhappy - “It's inevitable that we'll have really sad days and go through hard times, and I think the more that we can pay attention to that and really honor those times so we can just learn so much more about ourselves, about each other, about the world, and therefore really be able to grow and evolve.” (04:49) - The stigma around men's mental health - “Having that ability to be vulnerable is actually such a sign of courage. And I think for men especially, they will do whatever it takes to just put on that facade of being very strong and kind of being rock solid on the outside and never showing that weakness.” (08:31) - Mason's love and sex addiction - “I had really just built a world where I was just getting all of my self-worth from other people, and always having to be in relationships and always having to be talking to people on the side to really just make me feel like I had this web of people who needed me and wanted me so that I would really never feel alone.” (15:58) - Mason's work to get to the root of the problem - “Really seeing what comes up and really getting to know myself and my story, and being able to contextualize as to how these events that I might not think about on a daily basis or consciously even remember are really drastically affecting my present-day life and my behaviors, has been a game changer” (20:01) - Advice for men who want to confront their mental health struggles - “Even if you can't see it, it's there, and for better or for worse, it will eventually rear its ugly head in some way someday. So I think it's better to just kind of be realistic with yourself and be practical and just know that it's a normal part of the human experience.”

JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (01:31) - Mental health is as important as physical health - “They feel like you have to be in crisis or have a diagnosable condition before you step in a therapist's office, and so they don't do anything about it, and then they land in my office when they're having the equivalent of an emotional heart attack.” (04:49) - Idiot compassion vs. wise compassion - “A therapist will hold up a mirror to you and help you to see something about yourself that you haven't been willing or able to see.” (07:36) - On growing as a therapist - “You go and you get trained and you learn the scales and the technique and the form and all of the rules. And then when you get really good at that you start to improvise, and the more you improvise, the more you see who you are going to become as a therapist.” (11:23) - Stigma and therapy -  “People need support andI think it would be a lot easier if we just acknowledged that human beings are ridiculous, and I mean that in the most compassionate way.” (18:22) - Embracing our feelings - “Feelings don't go away. They just get stuffed down, but they're still there. And in fact feelings need air, so they just get bigger. So I think the danger is that you feel like you've numbed out your feeling, but numbness isn't the absence of feelings. Numbness is a sense of being overwhelmed by too many feelings.” (25:41) The connection between therapist and patient - “The person's training, the kind of modality that they're using, the years of experience, all of those things definitely matter. So I'm not saying they don't because...
