Join us for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Fawad Mian, a New Jersey-based neurologist and expert in regenerative medicine, as he shares his fascinating journey from being a patient to becoming a leading voice in his field. Dr. Mian recounts his initial fascination with neurology, driven by the challenge of helping stroke patients and others with debilitating conditions. He opens up about his personal experiences with injuries, such as a painful shoulder and foot issues, which led him to seek alternative treatments beyond traditional pain management. Through his own quest for healing, he discovered prolotherapy, an innovative regenerative treatment that allowed him to overcome his injuries and regain an active lifestyle. Dr. Mian's story highlights the transformative potential of regenerative medicine for chronic pain and injuries. Listen in as we explore practical strategies for overcoming pain naturally and making healthier lifestyle choices. We'll share insights on starting with small, manageable changes in diet and exercise, and examine real-life cases where unconventional methods, like ultrasound for nerve issues and PRP therapy for shoulder injuries, have brought about remarkable improvements. Our conversation also touches on the importance of exploring alternative treatments for long-term health benefits, and I discuss my self-help book, written during the pandemic, offering readers tools to enhance their health through alternative healing methods, dietary changes, mindfulness, and meditation.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Watch Are you looking to align your investments with your personal values and make a real difference in the world? This episode of Inspired Money looks at sustainable investing, exploring how your portfolio can do more than generate returns. You'll learn how ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors are transforming global finance, why shareholder advocacy offers leverage for long-term value, and how transparency tools can empower every investor. Whether you're an industry professional or a values-driven investor, this episode delivers actionable insights, practical resources, and forward-thinking strategies to help you invest with impact. This episode of Inspired Money is brought to you by Runnymede Capital Management, where investing is never one-size-fits-all. For over 30 years, we've worked closely with clients like you to understand your goals, objectives, and values. Then we create a customized portfolio designed to align with what matters most to you — whether that's pursuing growth, protecting your wealth, or investing in a way that reflects your principles. If you're ready for a personal, thoughtful approach to managing your money, visit https://www.runnymede.com.   Meet the Expert Panelists Andrew Behar is CEO of As You Sow, the nation's leading nonprofit advancing values-aligned investing through shareholder advocacy on climate, social justice, and corporate accountability. A former entrepreneur and inventor with five patents, he is also the author of The Shareholders Action Guide and a recognized Purposeful-50 changemaker. https://www.asyousow.org Marilyn Waite is Managing Director of the Climate Finance Fund, leading efforts to accelerate the transition to a climate-friendly economy by aligning capital with low-carbon solutions. With experience spanning four continents in clean energy, climate finance, and sustainable investment, she is the author of Sustainability at Work and a widely published voice on climate and economic policy. https://marilynwaite.com Jennifer Coombs is Head of Content & Development at US SIF: The Sustainable Investment Forum, and creator of the Chartered SRI Counselor (CSRIC) designation, the first U.S. professional credential in sustainable investing. A two-time TEDx speaker and recognized 40 Under 40 honoree, she is a leading educator, writer, and advocate for integrating ESG principles into finance. https://www.ussif.org Ioannis Ioannou is an Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School and a globally recognized expert on corporate sustainability and responsibility. His award-winning research examines how businesses integrate environmental and social issues into strategy, influencing investors, corporate decision-making, and long-term performance. https://www.ioannou.us Key Highlights: Sustainable Investing Takes Many Forms Andrew Behar breaks down the ecosystem of sustainable investing—from exclusionary screens like avoiding fossil fuels to impact investing that targets measurable social outcomes. With data-driven advocacy and shareholder engagement, investors can leverage their portfolios for real change. As Andrew puts it, “Your money...really defines the future.” Global Momentum and Regional Nuance Marilyn Waite underscores that sustainable investing has gone mainstream across the globe, now representing over one-third of global assets under management. She emphasizes the leadership of the Global South in setting new standards, showing that sustainable finance is both a fiduciary and a competitive imperative. “There's no stopping this because it just makes good sense, it makes fiduciary sense, and it makes return sense,” Marilyn notes. Measuring and Managing Impact in a Noisy Data WorldJennifer Coombs highlights the evolution and pitfalls of ESG data, explaining how investors can move past simple ratings to uncover genuine impact. Transparent frameworks and practical tools—like As You Sow's InvestYourValues platform—empower investors to know exactly what they own and avoid greenwashing. Corporate Accountability and the Power of NarrativeIoannis Ioannou shares how ESG outperformance research is nuanced—successful sustainable companies embed responsibility in strategy, not just reporting. He calls for a “positive narrative” that unites all stakeholders: “Transparency is necessary but not sufficient. We need to align corporate action with a system that works within its limits—and tell a compelling, evidence-based story.” Call-to-Action Let's inspire you with one action item to move the needle this week: take a moment to review your own portfolio or investment choices and ask yourself, "How well do they align with your personal values?" Even small shifts can make a big impact over time. If you haven't explored sustainable investing before, start by researching one company or fund that prioritizes environmental or social responsibility.

Old Friends, New SeasonsWhen Mike Yam and I sit down together, it never feels like an interview. It feels like slipping back into a rhythm we've had for over a decade — back when we were in the Pac-12 Network studio, swapping stories between segments, wondering where the game might take us next or driving through the country roads in Oregon on the way to training camp.Today's conversation, presented by our founding sponsor, 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, dives into the Bill Belichick experience, Oregon State, Washington State, USC's former QB Miller Moss and a theory about Stanford and Andrew Luck. We also talk about the recent news around ESPN acquiring NFL Network. Overall, it is a conversation that will take you down memory lane, leave you laughing and always rooting for Mike Yam.Mike's journey since those days has been something to watch. NFL Network host. CW studio anchor for Pac-12 and ACC football. Author of a children's book, Fried Rice and Marinara. TEDx speaker. And one of the most well-connected, well-respected voices in the sport. But when we sat down for this conversation, it wasn't about titles. It was about the moments that stick with you, the ones that remind you why you fell in love with this game in the first place.He'd just come from ACC Media Days, where Bill Belichick walked into the room and made it go completely silent. Players — not even from his team — made a beeline toward him. And the thing that stuck with Mike? Belichick already knew them. He'd studied them. That's the part TV cameras miss: the curiosity, the attention to detail, the quiet personality that comes out when the mic isn't hot.When Mike sat down to interview players he sat across from former USC QB Miller Moss, now at Louisville. He saw a calm, professional presence — the kind that makes you think this team could be in the ACC title mix right away. Can you imagine a Louisville/USC bowl game? Playoff game?! We also kicked around a theory I've had: what if Andrew Luck — now Stanford's GM — stepped into the head coach role? Mike's take? He sees Luck's value as even greater in the GM seat, but we both agree: if Stanford truly commits to football, they could have the most unique offering in the sport.And then, Mike told me what it was like to walk back into a Pac-12 set for the first time since the network made a major pivot. Same desk. Same redwood panels. Even the same scratches. It brought him back to 2012, the first time he ever touched that desk and thought, This is home. I could hear in his voice that, even after everything, part of it still is.We ended where we began — with the two schools still carrying the Pac-12 flag this fall: Oregon State and Washington State. Mike believes there's a massive opportunity for both teams to win now, not just for themselves but for the future of the league. Mike's living through uncertainty again — ESPN is acquiring NFL Media, and no one really knows what that means yet. But he's showing up for his colleagues, staying present in the work, and holding on to the gratitude we both share: we were once kids on the East Coast dreaming of being in these rooms, and now here we are — telling stories from them.This one was special. It's family. And hope you enjoy it, know I did.I'm off to Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois before a west coast loop back to Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC this week. As always, follow us on social media for stories from the road.Much love and stay steady,— Yogi This is a public episode.

Kris is joined by longtime friend, business visionary, and rockstar early childhood leader Rachel Supalla. Rachel is the founder of Vision Tree, a TEDx speaker, and the author of The Playful Leader's Toolkit, a book packed with wisdom on leading with joy, grounding, and energy. With 10 schools across Montana and Utah, Rachel shares how she's scaled her business while embracing what she calls “ruby slipper leadership.” They talk about managing energy instead of time, why remote teams need tight leadership structures, and how playfulness is more than just dress-up — it's a strategy for productivity. Rachel also opens up about living with ADHD and how it shapes her leadership style, creativity, and drive.   Key Takeaways: [5:26] Rachel shares her evolution from center owner to coach and consultant, and how joining the Child Care Success Academy changed her career path.[6:36] She talks about scaling rapidly across three regions and how Vision Tree emerged as her consulting and leadership training brand.[9:05] Rachel loves lake life and is a proud mom of four kids and grandma to baby Zeke. [10:39] Fun fact: Rachel's trip with her grandma (who some thought was her sister) to Ireland at age 13, including a spontaneous solo in a pub, was an early clue that she'd someday take the stage.[12:46] Rachel explains how The Playful Leader's Toolkit came out of her ADHD-fueled trial-and-error experiences, and why she believes burnout is not a badge of honor. [14:12] Ruby slippers became a metaphor for grounding, confidence, and leadership clarity, especially in high-pressure seasons. Once you've got the right shoes on, you can do anything! [16:41] Managing energy (not just time) helps Rachel structure her day and lead effectively, especially as a neurodivergent leader. [20:24] She breaks down the “max of 10” rule for direct reports and why it protects leadership bandwidth across large teams.[24:34] Rachel gives a deep dive into her favorite systems: Playground, JotForm Enterprise, Teachable, and Zapier.[27:16] Playfulness isn't fluff — it's a mindset that supports innovation, brain-based leadership, and mental reset when teams are stressed.[32:03] Rachel walks through her M.A.G.I.C. framework, the five pillars of playful leadership. [35:40] Doing a TEDx Talk was terrifying and transformational; the unexpected outcome was a deeper conversation about ADHD and leadership. [39:15] Rachel shares her seasonal schedule, non-negotiables like football and summer in Montana, and the power of team infrastructure. [41:48] She teases her upcoming course, focused on helping women scale their culture without losing their soul.   Quotes: “I think that's probably where I learned the most about how to run a remote team, was being an employee for the Child Care Success Academy.” — Rachel [7:46]   “You go up the ladder in life when you're succeeding and you're accomplishing, and you get to this level of contribution, and that's the level that I feel like I'm at. And I want to give back. I want to help people do it faster, the right way, from my mistakes. So that's what inspired me to write my book.” — Rachel [13:46]   “That's when I'm most productive, when my energy is managed. It doesn't have anything to do with time. You can have time blocked. You can have all the time in the world. But if your energy sucks, you're not going to get anything done.” — Rachel [17:46]   “I think that's been the biggest thing, learning to manage my energy.” — Rachel [18:29]   “From the beginning, we have learned to automate, delegate, eliminate.” — Rachel [21:10]   “Play is not just, let's dress up and have a potluck. It's a mindset.”— Rachel [26:15]   “I am very passionate about this playful leadership concept. It's an idea. It's silly to some, it's weird to others, and it's powerful to others. And I really do think that if you embrace it, it's going to change the way we teach children, it's going to change the way we lead our companies, and it's going to make the world a more happy, innovative, creative place, which is what we're lacking right now, and so I am very passionate about that.” — Rachel [36:48]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal The Playful Leader's Toolkit  A Quest of Creative Culture Building with Rachel Supalla The power of play for better leadership | Rachel Supalla | TEDxParkland Vision Tree

It is critical that we, as coaches, strive for cultural awareness in our work.

Mike shares why the secret to growth isn't serving everyone, but identifying the right clients, pricing in a way that reflects your true value, and letting go of the rest (without guilt). We talk about why bad-fit clients drain more than your bank account, how to attract people who value what you offer, and why you should always love yourself enough to charge what you're worth. If you've been caught in the cycle of over-delivering, undercharging, and feeling too stretched to serve your best clients well, this conversation will help you see a simpler, more sustainable path forward - one that makes space for better clients, better work and a better life. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read?

It tells the world how valuable you believe your work is.” – Mike Michalowicz ‍ ‍ Why Pricing is More Than a Number Most entrepreneurs fear raising prices, but as Mike explains, pricing isn't just about covering costs. It's a signal to the market about the quality and impact of your work. When you charge appropriately, you attract clients who align with your value, and you create the capacity to serve them at your best. ‍ ‍ Letting Go of the Wrong Clients It's tempting to hold on to every paying client, but the wrong ones cost far more than they contribute. Mike shares strategies for identifying unfit clients, and how to release them in a way that's professional, kind, and freeing - making space for your business to grow in the right direction. ‍ ‍ “Your best business will always grow from your best clients. Focus there, and create more space for them to thrive with you.” – Mike Michalowicz ‍ ‍ The Three Questions that Unlock Growth Mike offers three simple but powerful questions to ask your best clients, questions that reveal what makes you stand out, how you can differentiate yourself from the industry, and where to find more people just like them. ‍ ‍ From “Doing it All” to Designing a Business that Runs Without You We discuss the trap of the “superhero entrepreneur” who tries to do everything themselves, and why true leadership means designing a business that thrives without your constant presence. Mike explains how he tests this by taking a four-week (sometimes seven-week) annual vacation, and how it's made his business stronger. ‍ ‍ If you only take one thing away from this episode… Your best business will come from your best clients. Focus on them, price in alignment with your value, and give your business the space it needs to grow - without burning yourself out. ‍ ‍ Final Thought to Reflect On? What could change for you if you stopped competing for every client - and started leading in your own niche, with quiet confidence and clear value? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you?Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

Ever dreamed of stepping onto the TEDx stage? Or maybe having your very own bestselling book?

Here's what we cover in this refreshingly down to earth chat: Why you don't need to be a professional speaker - or have thousands of followers - to land a TEDx talk or write a book that creates real impact. What organizers and publishers are really looking for right now (hint: it's authenticity and a fresh perspective, not perfection or big stages). How the TEDx pitch process works today, and the key changes you need to know -including the real number of applications it takes and the evidence you now need in every submission. What types of messages and stories make you memorable - and which mistakes hold most would-be thought leaders back? How to avoid the AI “shortcut” that could damage your trust and what truly builds credibility in a world overflowing with content. If you're craving a bigger audience for your message and wonder if TEDx or a book is actually within reach, don't miss this episode.

Join Doug Bennett as he sits down with coach Gregory Russell Benedikt for a conversation about dreams versus goals. Gregory shares his journey from a 100-day rejection challenge, including asking strangers to jump in their pools, to landing a TEDx talk and meeting his girlfriend through bold action. This episode explores Gregory's perspective on holding goals loosely, his experience with goal apathy and his coaching approach where he becomes a "dream Sherpa," accompanying clients on their bucket list adventures. KEY TAKEAWAYS • A simple knock on a stranger's door asking to use their pool went viral and kick started an entire journey that led to Gregory's TEDx talk. • After years of hitting targets, Gregory discovered that achieving goals brought brief celebration but rarely the lasting fulfilment he expected. • The retreat Gregory has wanted to host for three years suddenly became possible when a community member offered her 40-acre Colorado ranch three days after he committed. • Gregory met his girlfriend by walking up to her in a crowded restaurant and handing her his name on a receipt after feeling an instant connection. • The dream sherpa concept emerged from Gregory wanting to do more than traditional coaching sessions. • Reading "Rejection Proof" twice sparked Gregory's 100-day challenge, proving that sometimes you have 10 seconds to act before putting the book back on the shelf. • Day 66 brought a complete breakdown where Gregory quit for a week, questioning why he was wasting time on ridiculous stranger interactions. BEST MOMENTS "It's moments like that, Doug, that just give me so much hope and excitement and awe and wonder." "We need to get started because if we're willing to take messy, imperfect action, you will learn the lessons you needed to learn." "Everything you need to know in order to achieve the goal, make the dream, become a reality. Everything you need to learn is learned through doing the thing. It's not learned before." "We've all got more time than we actually use. How, you know, check your phone. How long have you been on Facebook or, you know, screen time this week?” "I have a philosophy of yes. You know, if somebody asks me a question, it doesn't matter. Doug, would you like to, the answer's yes at that point."

Hey friend, welcome to Girls Night — a podcast for women who are figuring out what's next.  Whether you're focused on career, dating, getting married, having kids, or honestly just trying to figure out your life right now — this show gives you expert guidance and practical next steps to create a life you genuinely love, not one someone else thinks you should live. I'm Stephanie May Wilson — 9x author, TEDx speaker, and your host here at girls night and in each episode, we tackle the questions that keep so many of us up at 2 AM — like what to say when people ask invasive questions about your life choices, how to stop comparing your timeline to everyone else's, and most importantly, how to figure out what you actually want and what your next right step is to get there. As we're trying to figure out our lives, you might find yourself running into some obstacles and wondering, “Is this normal?” Does everybody struggle with this or am I the only one?” Or maybe like me, you've had several friends receive ADHD diagnoses recently, and you're wondering,”What about me? Am I neurotypical? Or are there some things that are different and unique about my brain too?” Friend, in this episode you're going to hear from Greer Jones. Greer is the host of The Unfinished Idea podcast and a passionate advocate for neurodivergent families, helping others build lives that actually work for their unique brains.  I learned SO much from this conversation.

Some of us dream of being able to say, “Thank you for Coming to my Ted Talk.” Others wilt at the thought of getting on stage to deliver not just a lecture on a complicated or sensitive topic, but a performance.  My guest today Dr. Chris Petrilli has delivered. My first Ted Talk alumni on Off the Record (of which I'm aware) recently presented How AI could help doctors detect patterns before a Ted Talk audience. This show delves behind the scenes of a Ted Talk. But it does a lot more: We get deeply into the subject of Chris' talk itself, one I think about all the time—artificial intelligence, how we interact with it, what it means for the future of the mid-revenue cycle (and our humanity), and how AI and humanity can be reconciled. Chris practices internal medicine at NYU Langone where he is also tasked for developing AI solutions for the health system. This is his second appearance on the podcast. On this show we cover:  Ted Talk details: How it came about, preparation, and delivery: How many dry runs? Coaching, nerves, and tech assistance Impact of the talk. Humor and entertainment as a teaching tool and effecting change at work (including physician buy-in) How can humanity coexist with this powerful new technology—is Chris an optimist or pessimist or some blend of the two? Pattern recognition: Similarities and differences between humans and machines AI as an overcaffeinated intern, powerful and full of energy but with no idea what's happening...  Emerging clinical and mid-revenue cycle applications  Watch Chris' Ted Talk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0qIyowPr0E

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

From Amy:The big ideas that get us all talking didn't come from nowhere. Someone started talking about them, and somewhere along the way, they got traction. Somebody or something amplified them and they resonated. And that's the big idea behind a TedX talk. It's also the idea behind the partnerships I've been nurturing ever since I decided that I was going to commit my life going forward to being an author. These are those people we encounter who contribute indelibly to our understanding of where we've been and where we want to be going forward. Keri Mangis is one of those people for me.I met Keri shortly after I had resigned my teaching job in early 2016, when I signed up for a book revision class in Minneapolis as a way to motivate myself to FINALLY get that first memoir draft finished. In theory we four participants would read through each other's manuscripts in turn and give helpful notes. In actuality, when I got the manuscript done, I gave it to my mother to read and (hint to all people writing memoirs: NEVER do that) not only did it ruin Mother's Day (yes, really, it was her Mother's Day present... seriously... do not do this... she hated my book) but the experience was so painful that I decided that I also did not trust the participants of the group to comment on my manuscript, nor the leader (who had just lost her mother... you see what a slippery slope this is) even after my mom and I started talking to each other again. Except... I really wanted Keri to be my first beta reader. And so, I quietly reached and asked her and felt comforted when she agreed.That's right. Keri read German Awakening when it still went by another name. Her comments were helpful and made me feel seen.Keri gave me names for a lot of things I didn't recognize fully back then, such as the word "Patriarchy." But I did know that in a society centered on men, certain essential truths about women get devalued at best, and often hidden. So. When Keri started talking about menopause as a liminal space, even though it's a topic we're FINALLY discussing, of course Keri had a fascinating take on menopause I'd never thought of.And as the anecdote with my mom reveals, we really should be talking about the experience of women elders in our male-normative world.It feels preordained that Keri would be selected to give a TedX Minneapolis talk. And of course we were going to podcast about it.This is the pre-talk episode, on the origins of Keri's talk and what this whole experience has meant to her so far. The show is THIS WEDNESDAY, 6:00 at Orchestra.You can buy tickets here. Keri will be back for Episode 111 to debrief with me. See you at Orchestra HallKeri Mangis is more than just an author and speaker—she's a guide for those seeking deeper meaning and transformation in a chaotic world. With over 20 years of experience as a wholeness advocate and spiritual teacher, Keri understands the frustration of feeling stuck and disconnected. Through her writing and teachings, Keri helps people break free from limiting beliefs to rediscover their true essence and align with their core values. Her spiritual and personal growth studies and certifications have run the gamut over the years from yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, and meditation. Most recently, she has taken on studying Alchemy, Jungian Psychology, archetypes, and rites of passage. She has completed several courses with Sharon Blackie, Michael Meade, and the Center of Applied Jungian Studies. Her writing has appeared in Spirituality and Health Magazine, Star Tribune, Elephant Journal, and others. Her first book, *Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness*, received multiple awards, including the 2020 IPA award for Mind, Body & Spirit and the 2020 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal in Non-Fiction Spiritual and Supernatural. She is currently working on her second book, an illuminating exploration of personal and collective transformation that will empower readers to evolve their consciousness for an uncertain future.Keri's Links:TedX Talk TicketsBookInstagramFacebookYouTube Amy Hallberg is the author of Tiny Altars: A Midlife Revival and German Awakening: Tales from an American Life.
