With David Norec, author and activist The rate of childhood or pediatric obesity has increased dramatically in the past few years with approximately one-third of children in the U.S. diagnosed as overweight or obese. While many people may dismiss childhood obesity as something they'll eventually grow out of, more often than not, obese children become obese adults who risk developing any number of health-related issues. Sadly, these same health consequences might have been avoided if their obesity had been addressed in childhood. Being overweight significantly increases the likelihood of a child developing type 2 diabetes and other potential health consequences, such as high blood pressure and sleep apnea, that could result from childhood obesity. Pediatric diabetes also increases the likelihood of developing serious health complications later in life such as retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney, and cardiovascular disease. But the risk is not just limited to physical consequences. Childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes are also associated with an increased risk for psychological problems such as severe depression, binge eating, and an overall reduced quality of life. Today, we're going to be speaking with David Norec, an author and activist who is drawing attention to the problem of childhood obesity through his books and combating it in a wonderfully creative manner. What You'll Hear in This Episode: David talks about how diabetes has impacted his life and affected his family. What was it like for David growing up in the most obese city in America? How did David get diagnosed with diabetes, and how has he changed his life? What is type 2 diabetes and how does it differ from type 1? The importance of getting physical movement every day. For David, it's his daily walks at the mall. What inspired David to write a book and create an action plan to address the problems of childhood obesity and diabetes? More about David's book, Exo and Cy, and how it inspires both parents and children to win the battle against obesity. What are Storybook Walks and Fit Lit parks that encourage families to get out in the world and move? Why a healthy lifestyle can be an ingredient in academic success. Today's Takeaway: Childhood obesity has become an epidemic in the U.S., particularly in socioeconomically deprived communities where children don't have access to healthy, well-balanced meals. As we learned from David, for the past six years, McAllen, Texas has been named the fattest city in America. Over 40% of the population in the Rio Grande Valley is currently obese or diabetic. Studies indicate that being overweight as a child or adolescent is one of the biggest risks for type 2 diabetes, especially when combined with a family history of diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle. That's truly frightening when you consider that more than 1.5 million deaths a year are directly attributed to diabetes. But as we've heard today, early intervention is the key. Educating children and their parents on the importance of proper nutrition and daily physical activity is the first step. Making sure that at-risk children, especially those with food insecurity issues, have access to healthy meal options and safe opportunities for daily physical fitness can go a long way toward reversing a family history of obesity. Remember that every day is a gift and the gift we get from giving children the tools to become their own best health advocate from a young age, is a gift that will keep on giving for a lifetime! I'm Florine Mark, and that's “Today's Takeaway.” Quotes: “Diabetes is my family member, which is ridiculous and sad, but that's my life.” — David [3:20] “It's a sad and slow process and it's very difficult to see your loved ones go through that.” — David [5:20] “It has to be part of life, and not just for diabetes, but other obesity-related illnesses, to just do something rather than just sitting inside and not doing anything.” — David [8:21] “It's too late for my brothers and too late for my sister, but it's not too late for the next generation.” — David [9:14] Brought to You By: Gardner White Furniture Mentioned in This Episode: The Adventures of Exo and Cy David Norec: Instagram David Norec: LinkedIn David Norec: Website

There's no denying the benefits of being a business owner. It allows you to be your own boss, and have greater control over your time. And, you have the potential to make life-changing amounts of money. But there are also risks involved, and buying the wrong business can be a costly mistake. You need to find a business that fits your unique skills and needs, which can be challenging. That's where David C. Barnett comes in. David is a former business broker who now works with buyers and sellers of small businesses, helping them navigate the sales process and ensuring they walk away with a good deal. In this episode, David walks us through the intricacies of identifying the right business to buy. He explains why buyers should narrow down their search criteria instead of being industry agnostic, and reveals how to make the best return on your investment. According to David, “Find a business that makes money and has problems that you know how to address. That's the best opportunity because it's already profitable, so you've got this unending runway. Then you can start to fix those problems and create something of greater value. That's when you end up with a good deal.” David sheds light on the realities of being a business owner, including why many businesses require a long period of hands-on work before they can become passive. Finally, David reveals the truth behind “no-money-down” financing, explaining how in many cases, this means leveraging your assets and owing massive debts to alternative lenders. These debts take years to pay off and counteract the perceived freedom that buying an online business gives you. If you're thinking of buying an online business, then you can't afford to miss out on the expert knowledge David shares in this episode!

David Gaudet is the author of The Daily Undoing and has spent the last 20 years as a post-secondary educator and teaches all things brand and marketing to his students. In this episode, David shares what marketers need to have in order to succeed in this industry, what companies are actively looking for in their marketers, how David teaches these critical skill sets in his classes, and so much more! Key Takeaways: [1:25] What is wrong with marketing today? [3:00] What is marketing, really? The public and professionals see it through two different lenses. [6:00] What skills are companies looking for in a marketer? [12:00] Where does creativity come from? It starts with being curious and open to surprises. [14:20] Unfortunately, companies don't invest heavily in the pursuit of curiosity because it can be a waste of time. It's hard to measure. [15:20] Do adults live too much of a structured life? Is that why we are unable to really tap into our creativity? [20:35] What skill sets would be beneficial for marketers to know outside of marketing? [23:00] Marketers need to get out of the office and really talk to their customers. Get inside their head. [27:15] There is no excuse not to get out of your bubble.
