What do you do when your technical brilliance doesn't translate into clear, compelling communication? That's where Salvatore Manzi comes in. With a background in business communication and a career spent coaching leaders across tech, finance, and global policy, Salvatore helps bold thinkers bring clarity and connection to even the most complex ideas. In this episode, we talk about the communication challenges that many technical leaders face—especially when speaking to non-technical stakeholders. Whether you're leading a product team, presenting in a high-stakes board meeting, or trying to assert your voice in a fast-paced discussion, Salvatore offers practical strategies that go far beyond public speaking tips. His insights are grounded in two decades of real-world experience, from coaching TEDx speakers and United Nations delegates to guiding SVPs through business model pivots and helping raise hundreds of millions in funding. We explore how data-driven leaders can use storytelling without compromising accuracy, how to manage energy and presence when nerves kick in, and what leadership looks like when you lean more analytical than charismatic. Salvatore shares a refreshing take on body language, framing it not as performance but as a tool for genuine alignment between your message and your intention. We also dig into the nuance of communicating uncertainty—how to be honest and credible without losing influence. For anyone in a technical role looking to lead more effectively, this episode is packed with insight. Salvatore's mission is to help people speak with clarity and lead with authenticity. After this conversation, you may just find yourself doing both a little differently.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Natalya Borakowski, a naturopathic physician who blends her passion for skincare and holistic wellness. From her early days in makeup artistry to becoming a holistic skin advocate, Dr. Natalya shares her journey of overcoming body dysmorphia and discovering the power of embracing every stage of life. She believes that when women feel confident in their skin, they can positively impact the world—and her approach to skincare reflects that connection between mind, body, and soul. Together, we explore the science and spirit of aging, from DNA repair and stress management to the brain-skin connection that links mood, digestion, and hormones. Dr. Natalya highlights how lifestyle choices—like quality sleep, a nourishing diet, and emotional healing—support radiant skin through life transitions such as pregnancy and menopause. This episode also introduces a three-part course to help women navigate self-image, aesthetic decisions, and the biology of aging.

What if the place that should be your sanctuary—your home—could be transformed from a place of fear into a space where respect isn't just hoped for, but required by law? Today on Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Sabrina Osso, founder and CEO of Osso Safe, a revolutionary company transforming the way we approach safety in our homes, schools, and workplaces. As a TEDx speaker, published author, and passionate advocate, Sabrina is transforming her pain into a force for good, empowering families everywhere. A proud member of the National Association of Realtors and the Women's Federation for World Peace, she was recently honored with the HerStory Award in March 2024. Through her innovative Osso Safe certification program, children's book "Home Safe Home for You and Me," and the Osso Safe Kids Video, Sabrina is reimagining what "home sweet home" can and should be—making respect a required standard in all residences. Key Takeaways ➤ Respect as a Required Standard: Osso Safe is working to make respect a mandatory requirement in all residential properties through their certification program, which includes policies, seminars, apps, and assigned therapists. ➤ The Difference Between Abuse and Discipline: Abuse instills fear while discipline instills education—this crucial distinction helps parents understand how to guide children from a place of respect rather than control. ➤ Children Need Voice and Choice: Rather than waiting until age 18, children should be empowered to speak up about unsafe situations and know they have trusted adults who will listen and protect them. ➤ Documentation is Crucial: For anyone experiencing abuse, documenting incidents helps combat gaslighting and creates a clear pattern that can be used for protection and legal purposes. ➤ Healing Happens Both Ways: When you heal yourself and then help others heal, it creates a powerful two-way street of transformation and empowerment. Powerful Quotes from Sabrina"Abuse instills fear, and discipline instills education. When you discipline your kids, it should come from a place of education, not fear and manipulation and domination and control.""We trust our children at Osso Safe. We are giving them voice and choice... You kids know who makes you feel safe and free and respected and good, so we're trusting them." How to Connect with Sabrina OssoWebsite: OssoSafe.comSocial Media: Find Osso Safe on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTokChildren's Book: "Home Safe Home for You and Me" available on Amazon and other book-selling platformsThis episode of Whinypaluza reminds us that every child deserves to feel safe in their own home.

Are there contracts or agreementsbetween souls? Do spirit guides or angels assist us during a given lifetime? If so, how? What is karma? What is death? Where is Heaven? And many more….Peter Alessandria is an award-winning,internationally-published photographer , filmmaker, author , TEDx speaker and former entertainment attorney.

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.

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

EPISODE 188 | On this episode of Homeschool Your Way, we're joined by Dr. Colleen Kelley, a former University of Arizona chemistry professor and the visionary behind Kids Chemical Solutions. Dr. Kelley shares how her innovative comic book series—starring Poppy and Ray—makes complex chemistry concepts accessible and fun for kids ages 8 to 10. Her mission is to combat what she calls "molecular illiteracy," a widespread challenge that leaves many students unprepared for higher-level science. Tune in to discover how early molecular literacy can set the stage for future success in STEM and how homeschoolers can bring engaging, story-driven science into their learning journey.ABOUT OUR GUEST | Dr. Colleen KelleyCreating fun and accessible chemistry stories has been a labor of love for Colleen as a retired University of Arizona chemistry professor and author of a series of kid's chemistry comic books. In 2023, the PBS short documentary, “Comic Book Chemistry” was awarded an Emmy. This documentary centered around Colleen's vision, chemistry comic book series and her success with teaching college-level chemistry concepts to kids. This vision was then presented as a TEDx talk, “Molecular Literacy for Ages 8 – 108” in 2025. During Colleen's 30 years of teaching chemistry, she became aware that her students were struggling with basic concepts, including fluency with the symbols for the elements themselves. These comic books, videos, and activities are Colleen's gift to all future scientists – one that will help them succeed in college chemistry.Colleen holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Penn State University.Thanks to show sponsor BookShark.

It is critical that we, as coaches, strive for cultural awareness in our work. One of the most important aspects of coaching is the richness of our differences and perspectives, and often, the voices that are heard the least are those that can teach us the most—if we only listen. We are exploring this important topic in today's episode. Ingrid Hu Dahl is an author, speaker, and leadership coach. She has written, filmed, and directed two short films exploring identity, representation, and the mixed-race experience. Her advocacy for underrepresented voices and the importance of inclusive coaching are at the heart of her memoir, Sun Shining on Morning Snow, which focuses on leadership, coaching, and personal connection. Ingrid is a TEDx speaker and the founder of a coaching and consulting business for emerging leaders. Inspired by her mother's passing, her work emphasized the need for coaches to create space for clients' experiences, challenge biases, and promote curiosity in conversations while encouraging individuals to reclaim their power and live authentically. Certified by the International Coach Federation and the Center for Creative Leadership, Ingrid's body of work is centered on connection, kindness, and inclusivity. She lives in Sausalito, CA, with her wife and their dog.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ How to Grow a Business You Love by Serving the Right People at the Right Value Does it ever seem like you're giving everything to your business, yet the success you pictured still feels just out of reach? In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Mike Michalowicz, author of nine business books including Profit First and The Pumpkin Plan, to explore how entrepreneurs can escape what he calls “entrepreneurial poverty” and create a business that runs smoothly, profitably and in alignment with their strengths. 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? Click here to watch this episode on YouTube ‍ ‍ “Price is the ultimate marketing method. 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.
