„Diplomatiskās pusdienas“ ir nogājušas pilnu ciklu pa pasauli un ir mājās - vislabākajā valstī pasaulē! Nekur nav tik labi kā mājās... Pēc tam, kad esam piecus gadus un vairāk nekā 200 raidījumos izanalizējuši visas pasaules valstis, to varam vēl drošāk teikt. Izklausās, ka mums vajadzēja tik milzīgu analīzi, lai pierādītu sākotnējo hipotēzi, ka mūsu Tēvzeme ir labāka par citām valstīm. Bet bija to vērts. Šie gadi ir bijuši intelektuāli maģiski vismaz mums un ceram, ka arī jums, mūsu uzticamākie klausītāji un klausītājas. Tik bieži esam atsaukušies uz Latviju un aplūkojuši pasaules valstis Latvijas kontekstā un otrādi, ka liktos, ka nekas nav palicis sakāms. Protams, ir! Raidījumā aplūkojam pāris pētījumus par Latviju, kas vismaz mums radīja daudzas pārdomas un cerības. Sevišķi 2024. gada pirms Ziemassvētku laikā. Pēdējais „Diplomātisko pusdienu“ raidījums izskan gandrīz Ziemassvētku priekšvakarā, tādēļ nerunāsim par negatīvo, ko tāpat mūsu valsti var izlasīt gan tradicionālajos, gan sociālajos medijos ļoti daudz, bet par pozitīvo, kas objektīvākam skatam uz Latviju tik ļoti pietrūkst gan kā pilsonim, gan kā cilvēkam. Latvija – valsts Ziemeļeiropā, kuras teritorija ir apdzīvota jau apmēram 11 tūkstošus gadu. Jā, Ziemeļeiropā, nevis Austrumeiropā mēs esam tagad ne tikai ģeogrāfiski, bet arī politiski. Lai cik reizēm gribētos, ka arī ekonomiskā pievilkšanās notiktu ātrāk, vienmēr objektīvi jāatceras, ka Otrais pasaules karš un krievu komunistu eksperiments Padomju Savienības laikā šodienas Latviju un latviešu ekonomisko un finanšu kapacitāti pamatīgi iedragāja. Tādēļ mūsdienu Latvijas diplomātiskie un ekonomiskie sasniegumi šķiet tik ļoti vēl skaistāki, lielāki un iedvesmojošāki. Par senāku vēsturi runājot un ko droši vien visi ir dzirdējuši sevišķi Ziemassvētku laikā – viens no biežāk internetā sastopamajiem interesantajiem faktiem par Latviju ir tas, ka mēs tieši Rīgā 1510. gadā esam pirmie izdekorējuši Ziemassvētku egli. Vācu tirgotāju Melngalvju brālības dati liecina, ka eglei ir uzkārti augļi, kaltētas puķes, salmu lellītes un lentītes. Igauņi gan strīdas un saka, ka atšķirībā no Rīgas egles, Tallinas egle esot izdekorēta jau 1441. gadā. Turklāt tā bijusi īsta egle, nevis mākslīgs veidojums, kas it kā esot bijis Rīgā. Jebkurā gadījumā, šis baltiešu kašķis piesaista pasaules uzmanību tikpat ļoti, cik pats fakts par pirmo izdekorēto egli. Vēl viens senāks vēstures fakts, ko esam pieminējuši jau citos raidījumos, ir tas, ka Latvijas karogs skaitās otrs vecākais pasaulē. 1279. gadā latgaļu ciltis no Cēsīm šo esot izmantojušas, dodoties kaujās, un Livonijas hronika šo skaidri apraksta. Visvecākais lietotais karogs esot dāņiem. Starp citu Latvijas karogs pie visām ēkām obligāti ir jāizkar desmit dienas gadā. Piecas no tām ir ar sēru lentēm… Lūkojoties uz pieredzi ar ukraiņu karogiem un arī to, cik plaši tos izkar ASV, varbūt arī mums vajadzētu daudz biežāk visapkārt plīvot šim pasaulē vēsturiskajam karogam? Noteikti varam kopīgi atrast vēl vismaz 10 regulārās „karogu dienas” par godu notikumiem un sasniegumiem. Vēl viens pozitīvais vēstures fakts, kuru gribētos biežāk dzirdēt, ir par to, ka tieši Rīgā dzimušais drēbnieks palīdzēja izgudrot džinsus un attiecīgi radīja revolūciju pasaules modes industrijā 19. un 20. gadsimtā. Un runa, protams, ka ir par latviešu-ebreju izcelsmes audumu meistaru Jākobu Jufesu jeb Džeikobu Deivisu. Un džinsi, par kuriem ir runa, ir slavenie „Levis”. Jākobs Jufess uz ASV, uz Rīno pilsētu pārcelās 1854. gadā un tad arī nomainīja vārdu uz Džeikobu Deivisu. Amerikanizējās. 1871. gadā amerikanizējās viņš arī  juridiski un kļuva par naturalizēto ASV pilsoni. Divus gadus vēlāk viņš patentēja kniedes, kas saturēja džinsa audumu kopā visvārīgākajās vietās. Patenta reģistrācijai Džeikobam Deivisam nebija naudas. Viņš savu iztiku pelnīja ar ratu brezentu un telšu izgatavošanu, kas, neskatoties uz tobrīd ASV ļoti populāro valsts iedzīvotāju migrāciju uz Rietumu apgabaliem, tomēr neļāva nodrošināt pietiekamus līdzekļus. Sanfrancisko strādājošā „Levis Strauss” kompānija uzņēmās palīdzēt ar patenta reģistrāciju, un tikai īsi pirms savas nāves Deviss pārdeva patentu „Levis” kompānijai. Bet tagad par tagadni un nākotni un diviem pētījumiem. Pirmais ir par to, cik droši jūtamies. Mēs visi esam dzirdējuši un cerams, arī lasījuši Aizsardzības ministrijas sagatavotos un izplatītos informatīvos materiālus “Kā rīkoties krīzes gadījumā” un “ Kā rīkoties kara gadījumā”. Ja kāds vēl nav, tos var viegli atrast mod.gov.lv un sargs.lv mājaslapās. Bet varbūt nedaudz grūtāk atrast ir Latvijas Universitātes vadošo pētnieku Didža Kļaviņa un Ievas Birkas vadīto un veikto pētījumu “Sagatavoti kopā: stiprāki kopā”. Pētījuma ietvaros tostarp tika aptaujāti 1000 Rīgas iedzīvotāji par to gatavību krīzes situācijām un to, vai šiem maz ir 72 stundām nepieciešamie ūdens, pārtika un medikamenti. Aptaujas rezultātā 70 procenti galvaspilsētas iedzīvotāju norādīja, ka rezerves uz trim diennaktīm vai ilgāk tiem būtu. Kas ir ļoti pozitīva ziņa, lai arī šis ir pašvērtējums, nevis faktiska materiāla pārbaude. Vienlaicīgi skaitlis 30 procenti, kas nav gatavi, parāda, cik ļoti daudzi ir atkarīgi ikdienā no lielveikalu krājumiem vai arī paļaujas uz ticību, ka nekas slikts jau nevar notikt. Arī skaitļos tas parādījās, ka 69 procenti galvaspilsētas iedzīvotāju nedomā, ka tuvākajos 10 gados kaut kas katastrofāls varētu notikt. Vēl vairāk – 64 procenti Rīgas iedzīvotāju pārliecinoši teica, ka zina, kā rīkoties katastrofas vai ārkārtējas situācijas gadījumā. Tikmēr, kad tiem intervētāji pavaicāja, vai zina, kur tieši doties un ko darīt, aina izrādījās mazāk rožaina. Kur doties, zina mazāk nekā trešā daļa aptaujāto Rīgas iedzīvotāju. Lai arī šobrīd, kā atgādina arī mūsu valsts iestādes un īstie valsts vadītāji, Latvijai nekas nedraud, senais teiciens “kas sevi sargā, sargā arī dievs” ir vispareizākā pieeja. Kāda ir pirmā rīcība kara gadījumā? Turpināt savas ikdienas gaitas, ja vien mūsu bruņotie spēki neziņo par citu rīcību. Ne tikai kara, bet jebkuru hibrīdapdraudējumu vai dabas kataklizmu situācijā jāpatur prātā, ka 72 stundu somai ir jābūt, ka minētie Aizsardzības ministrijas sagatavotie materiāli ir rūpīgi jāizlasa un jāsagatavojas atbilstoši, kā arī jāsaprot precīzs darbošanās algoritms, tostarp savu ģimenes locekļu satikšana situācijā, ka telefona un interneta sakari nebūs pieejami. Tagad vēl par vienu pētījumu par nākotni. To Dr. Reinharda Krumma vadībā šogad izstrādāja un publiskoja Fridriha Eberta fonda birojs Baltijā. Pētījumā ir iekļaut 1005 respondentu aptauja, kurā tiek uzdoti jautājumi par to, kādu Latviju vēlētos redzēt iedzīvotāji turpmāk. Sevišķi autoru kolektīvs koncentrējas uz jauniešiem un viņu skatījumu. Pirmkārt, jāpiemin, ka Latvijā tikai 52 procenti iedzīvotāju uzskata, ka politiskā brīvība un demokrātija ir tas, no kā valsts nedrīkst atteikties nekādā gadījumā. 36 procenti uzskata, ka ir nepieciešams stingrs līderis. Un 12 procentiem nav viedokļa. Jauniešu starpā demokrātiju tikmēr atbalsta 82 procenti! Krievvalodīgajās ģimenēs un ģimenēs ar zemiem ienākumiem procents ar atbalstu “stingrai rokai” ir lielāks nekā demokrātijai. Vienlaicīgi jautājumā par to, kas ir svarīgāks brīvība vai materiālā labklājība – 67 procenti uzskata, ka brīvība un jauniešu starpā gandrīz 86 procenti dod priekšroku brīvībai. Interesants rezultāts ir redzams arī atbildēs par to, vai Latvijas dalība ES un NATO ir ieguvums vai šķērslis cilvēka sapņu īstenošanai. Kopumā 45 procenti respondentu atbildēja, ka dalība ES palīdz īstenot sapņus un 42 procenti, ka NATO. Krievvalodīgajās ģimenēs ES esot palīdzošs faktors vien 24 procentiem, bet NATO vien 15 procentiem. Latviešu ģimenēs 58 procenti  par labu abām organizācijām. Jauniešu vidū 75 procenti uzskata, ka ES palīdz tiem īstenot sapņus, kamēr 64 procenti uzskata, ka NATO palīdz. Par valsts tālākās orientēšanās virzieniem. 40 procenti respondentu atbalsta tālāku integrāciju ES, pat ja suverenitāte tiek vēl vairāk atdota kolektīva lēmumu pieņemšanas procesam par labu. Gandrīz tikpat – 39 procenti norādīja, ka suverenitātes stiprināšana neorientējoties ne Krievijas, ne ES virzienā ir labākais risinājums. Tuvināšanās Krievijai un saišu ar rietumvalstīm saraušanu atbalsta tikpat, cik to, kas nezina, kurp doties – ap 10 procentiem. Un visbeidzot, uz jautājumu, kura ir ideālā Latvija, kurā cilvēki vēlētos dzīvot atbildes bija tiešām intriģējošas. 2,4 procenti teica, ka grib dzīvot sirmā senatnē. Tikpat teica arī, ka cara laikos būtu labāk. Livonijā vēlētos atgriezties 0,8 procenti. Modernajā, 90. gadu Latvijā tikmēr grib dzīvot 9 procenti no respondentiem, kamēr laika posmā pēc iestāšanās ES grib turpināt dzīvot 30,5 procenti Latvijas iedzīvotāju. Kā noprotat – visvairāk ES grib dzīvot jaunieši un latviski runājošās ģimenes – 51 un 41 procents attiecīgi. PSRS tikmēr grib atgriezties 26 procenti krievvalodīgo ģimeņu. Un tikai 1,6 procenti jauniešu. Šie ir pārsteidzoši skaitļi. Bet šajā raidījumā vēl ekskluzīva intervija. Tā ir ar cilvēku, kurš ir dzīvojis četros no šiem aplūkotajiem periodiem, jo dzimis 1936. gadā un ir redzējis Latviju tik daudzās tās formās. Kādu nākotni viņš gribētu redzēt Latvijai, kurā no iepriekš minētajām grupām viņš iekļaujas, to vaicājām izcilajam maestro Raimondam Paulam.

Dr. Sergio Gaitan's loyal patients rave that his approach to Botox and filler is an art form. To Dr. Gaitan, it's not about the product, but rather the reflection of light. For example, he often focuses on the top of the face with Botox as he notices it makes the lower part of the face glow.Dr. Gaitan's goal is to help patients look as young as they feel. Just by looking at the skin, he's often able to spot conditions and determine a possible treatment plan and then asks appropriate questions to confirm a diagnosis.Specializing in ethnic skin, he is well versed in treatment with the Q-switched laser, which is safe on all skin types, to build collagen and improve pigmentation for patients from a wide range of backgrounds.To learn more about Dr. Sergio GaitanFollow Dr. Gaitan on InstagramABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple.

One of the strengths of coming from a multicultural background, as so many Indian Americans do, is the ability to bridge the cultural gaps that often divide global organizations.On this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Vivek Lall, Chief Executive at General Atomics Global Corporation, to explore the effect that a diverse background has on the ability to merge disparate cultures.Dr. Lall shares valuable insights from both his well-traveled childhood and his vast professional experience:- Patience is an important skill to practice, especially when working with people who think differently than you.- Networking isn't just about building new relationships, but enriching your own understanding of different cultures and life experiences.- Those who have the ability to live in two cultures should leverage their position to become bridge builders.To Dr. Lall, Indianness means empathy, understanding and connection.Dr. Vivek Lall - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-vivek-lall-99b05532/General Atomics Global Corporation - https://www.linkedin.com/company/general-atomics/General Atomics Global Corporation | Website - https://www.ga.com/Sanjay Puri - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjaykpuri/Alliance for US India Business - https://www.linkedin.com/company/alliance-for-us-india-business/Thanks for listening to the Indianness podcast.

For over 30 years, patients from all over the world have sought Dr. Barry Weintraub in New York for his unique expertise with facelift surgery. To Dr. Weintraub, cosmetic surgery should whisper, never shout. His goal is for you to look like no one ever touched you.Previous patients return to Dr. Weintraub decades later, and often refer their children to him when they want to feel more confident without changing their natural features. He specializes in a highly detailed, less is more style of face, eyes, nose, jowls, and neck surgery.Dr. Weintraub was drawn to plastic surgery because it allows him to cross medicine and art. Instead of breaking bones to improve the shape of his patients' noses, he files down the bony abnormalities with fiber optic lights.To learn more about Dr. Barry WeintraubFollow Dr. Weintraub on InstagramWatch Dr. Weintraub deny a pushy parent rhinoplasty for her teen daughter on Oprah ABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple.

Noi Mahoney - Borderlands Reporter - FreightWaves - San Antonio, TX Dr. John Fowler - Supply Chain Professor - Arizona State University - Tempe, AZ Kaylee Nix - Reporter - FreightWaves What has the growth out in Texas and Arizona been like in the last 20 years when it comes to chip production and technological investment? Does this feel like a gold rush given the location, to be close to the southern border, the opportunity to be remote? To Dr. Fowler - Given the amount of time it takes to get a chip factory online, is there a high risk in this investment to build factories? What kinds of incentives - if any - are coming to these companies to build these factories in the Sun Belt? Will more factories come as they see the possibilities here or is the door closing on this kind of opportunity? Are there other areas of the country that are fruitful for this kind of tech investment as well?

Before landing in Beverly Hills, plastic surgeon Dr. Feras Yamin first traveled the globe with his family and then for his medical education, from Iraq to Europe, the Caribbean, Lubbock, Long Island, and finally California.Following medical school, Dr. Yamin loved anatomy so much that for five years he taught the subject at the University of Medicine and Health Sciences in the small Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Missing the OR and wanting to put his surgical skills to use, he returned to New York to complete his plastic surgery training with Dr. Richard Reish at Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. He then opened his private practice in New York before moving it to California.While teaching anatomy, Dr. Yamin worked with cadavers, allowing him to deeply examine the nine aesthetic units inside the nose, all of which correlate with each other. Changing things by millimeters inside the nose during rhinoplasty causes massive outcomes on the outside.To Dr. Yamin, the essence of plastic surgery is to restore and augment natural anatomy. When you try to push the boundaries of the body's natural anatomy, you'll run into trouble stability and functionality wise.Dr. Yamin prides himself on being easily accessible to his patients.

In this episode of BackTable ENT, Dr. Julie Wei speaks with Dr. Gita Pensa, an emergency medicine physician, about her journey to becoming a physician coach. --- SHOW NOTES After enduring a 12 year malpractice lawsuit, Dr. Pensa explains why she chose to become a physician coach focused on helping physicians maintain their wellness through malpractice lawsuits. She started out by creating her own podcast to release 11 episodes about malpractice litigation basics. Once she realized her podcast was beneficial to many physicians, she started accepting speaking engagements and monetizing her skillset as a coach. To Dr. Pensa, physician coaching is not therapy for litigation. She doesn't ask about details of the case that have happened, but she does help her clients reflect on the thoughts and feelings that impact their actions and reactions to their cases. Additionally, the doctors discuss Dr. Pensa's client distribution in terms of sex and specialty. They also reflect on the relationships of malpractice attorneys with physician coaches. Although some attorneys may push back because of privacy concerns, some attorneys include Dr. Pensa on the team. She always tries to frame physician coaching as a wellness aspect of litigation period, not a substitution for legal advice. Finally Dr. Pensa ends the episode by talking about rising physician suicide rates and physician disillusionment. --- RESOURCES Dr. Gita Pensa's Website https://doctorsandlitigation.com/ Doctors and Litigation: The L Word (11 podcast episodes) https://doctorsandlitigation.com/podcast-2 BackTable ENT Episode 42- Physicians and Litigation: The L Word https://www.backtable.com/shows/ent/podcasts/42/doctors-litigation-the-l-word The Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It by Kelly McGonigal https://www.amazon.com/Upside-Stress-Why-Good-You/dp/1101982934

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Kirby Gwen chatted with Dr. Cornell William Brooks and Joe Daniels about Dr. King's legacy and honoring it through our actions. Dr. Brooks is a professor at Harvard, the former president, and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a civil rights attorney and an ordained minister. Listen as Dr. Brooks explains how Dr. King's actions were just as impactful as his words. Dr. King was a volunteer who stepped up and stepped forward. You might not have the words to be a powerful speaker, but you can step forward and work with other people like he did. This conversation reminds us that we all have a role to play toward achieving equity and fairness. To Dr. Brooks the day represents a sabbath for social justice to reflect on Dr. King's legacy, but also to build within ourselves the inspiration, hope and energy to do the work for the rest of the year.

Dr. Brien's  background is Internal Medicine, geriatrics. He also has a fellowship from 4AM in anti-aging, rejuvenating, and metabolic medicine. He is in hiw own small practice providing telemedicine consults and home visits. He started around May 2020 consulting and treating patients from Australia, Panama, Mexico, and all across the United States, and he's happy to say that all those treated by him did well. It was in June of 2020 that his studies brought him to the carnivore diet. He began his own personal experiment planning to give it a try for a couple of weeks to a month and here he is today, feeling better than ever.  What has surprised him the most is his patients who have followed his lead and gone carnivore have found great results for their personal chronic health problems. Hypertensives are no longer with hypertension, diabetics are off meds, and of course weight loss is possible without the punishment of starving.  To Dr. Brien, it's clear that today the American Diet Rules are poison and that standard Western Medicine is controlled by many interests that don't have his patients' quality of life in mind. Here he acknowledges the great work of Nina Teicholz - “The Big Fat Lie.” Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer 00:49 Introduction 02:37 A4M 04:00 Getting interested in geriatrics 05:28 Is dementia inevitable? 07:19 Patient reverses hypertension and diabetes on the carnivore diet 08:49 Carnivore diet adjustment period 10:11 California “medical misinformation” bill 12:00 Informed consent 15:00 Cholesterol 19:01 Dr. Brien's VIP service 20:58 Questioning “the experts” 23:34 Cholesterol vaccine 25:35 Protein drinks 27:20 Dementia becoming more common 29:09 Medicine benefits vs harms 31:36 Insulin is vital 33:17 Hospital foods 34:07 Shawn's dream about carnivore diet in hospitals 34:43 Carnivore diet affordability 36:15 Mental health on carnivore diet 38:07 Role of magnesium in mental health 39:28 APOE E4 variant and its association with Alzheimer's disease 41:16 Triglycerides most correlated to coronary artery disease extent 42:26 Relationship between LDL cholesterol and ability to function 44:39 All-cause mortality on medications 46:29 Increased all-cause mortality with PCSK9 inhibitors 48:50 The benefits of sanitation to human life expectancy 50:01 Where to find Dr. Brien 52:07 Type 1 diabetics who come off or reduce insulin utilization 54:36 Medical freedom See open positions at Revero: https://jobs.lever.co/Revero/ Join Carnivore Diet for a free 30 day trial: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: And that's why I'm saying we need to be aware. That's why these kinds of studies about, you know, where are we, where are we in the cycle, can this keep going on, or are we moving closer and closer to kind of like a realignment of some kind? And I think we do, I mean, certain things. I think we see it, you know, there's war in Ukraine, there's increasing friction between the United States and China as the two biggest economies in the world. Things are changing. [00:00:38] Sam Wilson: Axel Meierhoefer is the founder of Ideal Wealth Grower and host of The IDEAL Investor Show. He's a mentor that helps his clients reach their time freedom point. Axel, welcome to the show.  [00:00:49] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Hey, Sam. Thanks for having me.  [00:00:51] Sam Wilson: Hey, the pleasure's mine. Actually, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes in the show. In 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:00:59] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I started in Germany, came over to the US with the military, stayed longer than anticipated, and then actually had to decide, do we go back or do we stay? We decided to stay and out of that came a job in the civilian world as an executive in a software company, which begged the question, okay, so do you want to work forever or do you find a way to, you know, have a point in time when you don't have to work anymore? I said, no, I don't want to work forever, but how do I make that happen and started to research. And at the time stock market was terrible. So I looked for alternatives, found real estate really studied, turned our house that we lived in into an investment property. So we could move and basically went down that rabbit hole deeper and deeper and deeper. And ultimately now where we are is I founded an organization called Ideal Wealth Grower, which invites people to receive mentorship to go down the same path that I've gone down to build a residential real estate portfolio and reach what we, like you said, call the time freedom point, which we define as the point in time on the calendar where your passive income, the money that your investments make is equal or more than your life expenses, including like having a vacation and getting some nice things and going out to dinner and all the other stuff that you have and keep growing from there. And then you have the freedom to decide, okay, if I don't really need my regular job or whatever other income source you have, what do I want to do with my time? Which can mean you keep doing what you're doing, because you love it, or it can mean you want to do half of it because you don't love it so much and do something that doesn't make money, but you love that more. Or you can say, Hey, you know, I don't want to do very much at all anymore that is creating time for money, but rather do things that I'm really passionate about it. And don't care about money because I know my passive income is taking care of me and my family.  [00:02:57] Sam Wilson: I like the idea of that. It's certainly a theme that we've had here a lot on the show, which is, you know, no longer trading time for money. I mean, that's a common theme, I think, in most real estate investment circles. But tell me this, do you have, and I know it depends on the types of investments that you're putting people into, but is there a general rule where you say, okay, if you're going to make investments, is there a nest egg size? Let's say you're trying to replace, we'll just keep this easy math, that you're trying to replace a hundred thousand dollars a year income. What do you see most people needing in order to get that far in a passive investing, I guess, portfolio? They need 1 million, 2 million, 5 million. What do you see on average?  [00:03:41] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Yeah. I mean, that million in asset value is one way to look at it. What I have done is actually to look at what is a realistic cash flow outcome from a residential real estate property, meaning like a three bedroom, two bath, four bedroom, two bath single family home or duplex, something like that. What I found is for, like what you're saying, a hundred thousand is kind of like in the area of about 8,500 a month or something like that, you're looking anywhere between 10 and 15 properties and depending on how much income, how much disposable income you actually have that can take anywhere from 8 to 12 years to get there. [00:04:18] Sam Wilson: Got it. That's a very precise answer. I appreciate that. That's very, very helpful. That's really cool that you helped people kind of get down that path. How did you hatch the idea that you could bring other people along this journey?  [00:04:30] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Well, I didn't hatch it to be very honest. Actually, other people hatched it so to speak for me and they hatched it based on the fact that, as I got more and more passionate and excited about the whole investing, I don't know, some people might say it feels a little bit like bragging, but I just felt it was exciting to me to tell other people what I was doing, you know, telling people, Hey, I found this awesome property in Idaho and I bought it and it's managed and it makes, at the time when we first started, it makes $200 a month. And then a couple of months later, we meet for, I don't know, Memorial day or Thanksgiving or something like that. And somebody says, so anything new that then you're doing? And I said, oh yeah, yeah, I found a new one in Ohio that I'm doing now, right? And so over time as I kept, my conversation became more and more I did this investment, that investment and so forth. And some of my friends and colleagues were saying, wow, I mean, you, aren't you afraid that, you know, like how do you know that they work? And so, I have always been in this kind of instructional, loving to educate other people kind of frame of mind. So I immediately started to get a quote, unquote, lecture people, oh, I'm looking at this and we analyze this and this and that and so forth. And after a while, people basically knew, okay, if we ask him something, he's going to probably go down that rabbit hole again. But there were also sometimes situations like I had a property we lived in California, in the Santa Barbara area. And when my wife and I moved, we turned that property initially into an investment property and then ultimately 1031 exchanged it into a whole bunch of smaller properties in the Midwest. So that was a great new story for our friends and family. And at some point, people back to the point of hatching said, you know, for years now you have been telling us about it and you have all this kind of fancy language and stuff like that. But the bottom line is you're obviously making the money because sometimes the conversations were okay, so you're doing this consulting work and the economy is going up and down. Do you always have enough money to actually pay for everything? And you're living in pretty expensive areas? And I said, well, you know, it's been all my business initially, but now it's subsidized by more and more of the passive income. And I'm actually looking forward to the day when all the passive income is enough. And I don't really have to necessarily work in any kind of regular job anymore. And that was probably the hedging point, right, where people said, well if that is really what is happening, you should tell other people how they can do that too.  [00:07:02] Sam Wilson: That's awesome. I love that. What are you telling people right now? I mean, the conversation, I mean, obviously everybody's crystal ball is broken, but people are looking right now, I think, especially investors are going, where are we? Where are we going? What's coming down the pike? I don't know. What are your thoughts on that?  [00:07:20] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: One thing that I've always been interested in let's say the last year or two, I have really started studying quite a bit is to see how have we, and to your original question, how did we get to where we are right now, but on the bigger picture. And so if somebody were to ask, okay, what did you study? Where did you go? What did you find? I, for example, looked at a book that I really, really recommend is called The Fourth Turning, which actually describes that economy and social developments are happening in cycles that are anywhere between about 90 to 120 years long. The two authors analyzed that for the last 500 years and found that about a hundred-year cycles keep repeating themselves. So if you look at where we are right now, we are at the end of a hundred-year cycle that started with The Great Depression, right? So if you read it, I don't want to go too deep about what that particular book says, but fundamentally that's one thing to say, okay, what are the indications of where we are and what is to be expected? Another one is the book called The Sovereign Individual, which basically was written just when the computer age started projecting that microprocessors and the internet and mobile phones and all that kind of stuff is fundamentally going to change our society. And I think we've all seen this, but what hasn't happened, and you and I, before we started recording, touched on blockchain and crypto and stuff like that. The Sovereign Individual is basically going through the extreme, in a sense to say, we need to have sovereign money, right, and you, if you think that through what I'm taking from, that is, well, ultimately the things that make us as individuals, sovereign, if that's really something that we want or that we believe that we have rights and so forth, then the things that we can really influence ourselves. So I go back to the fundamentals and say, okay, we, as human beings need shelter. We need safety. We need food. And we need one thing that Maslow doesn't have in his basics for pyramid of needs is some way to exchange with each other. Now, right now, if you take the money that we are always talking about, when we are talking about real estate investing is basically the money governed by our government. And we have ours in dollars and the Japanese have Yens and the Chinese have Won and the Europeans have Euros and sometimes you might be lucky to live in an area where the money is at least reasonably stable, even though if you look from The Great Depression to today, 99% of the value of the dollar is gone. If you compare what was the dollar worth in 1923 and what it is now, what you can take in 1913 when the federal reserve was started, anywhere between 95 to 99% of the value is gone, right? So why is that relevant? Because every kind of money, things like pretty pictures under the pieces of paper that have ever existed ultimately become worthless. So for me, going back to your original question, that means what I'm looking at is what are the things that retain their value. Nobody would debate that a gold coin, a one ounce gold coin has value, had value 5,000 years, 2,000 years, a thousand years, and today, right? I think something similar will happen with something like Bitcoin. But the other thing is when we go back, anything that is related to real estate always had value. And even in the way that we built here in the US, which is not like the Romans built or some of the early Europeans built, but even our houses now is a hundred years. And when you look at a house that was built in 1913 and kept up well, because $4,000 to build a really nice house then, that house is probably $400,000 now. [00:11:15] Sam Wilson: Every bit of.  [00:11:16] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: And the thing is what is really an interesting way to think about, when the people in 1913 when the fed was created, moved into this brand new house, did they get any different value from the house in what it is for? What does it provide? To somebody who buys that same house now fully renovated by a turnkey provider. And the new family moves into that same house, they get the same fundamental value of living in a space and all that out of the house. But it's a hundred times more expensive. Or you could say your money is a hundred times less valuable. Those kinds of things go through my mind. And that's why I'm saying, you know, for the people that I work with, I always want to get the message across that if you want to do something that creates a legacy, that gets you to the time freedom point, that allows you ultimately to turn something over to your kids and their kids can turn it over and so forth, then you need something that retains value. And that's where you get to real estate and gold and silver and maybe Bitcoin and things like that.  [00:12:22] Sam Wilson: Yeah. That is absolutely, absolutely true. The other way I think about that is things that can be repriced or repriced easily. I think about, you think about real estate. Okay. So you buy an income-producing real estate. Well, today you're paying in dollars, and then maybe it's next year, our version of money has changed, but I can still then reprice that to whatever that day's version of money is, is that kind of what you're saying?  [00:12:48] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Well, that's one way to look at it or you could basically go and say, okay, how much did an ounce of gold cost in 1913? How much does an ounce of gold cost right now? And how many ounces does it take to buy the house? And if you compare that to the number of dollars, you will be shocked because obviously, I'm not pooing currency because it's a dollar or because it's a yen or because it's a Euro, the system in and of itself, the way we are living in and where we are right now, if you look at our economy and you said the crystal ball is broken, true, but there is a lot of facts. You can't debate or deny the fact that we have more than 30 trillion, I can't even fathom what that means, but 30 trillion in national debt. That doesn't include city debt or state debt or anything like pension plan debt. Anybody who's ever done anything in business or even in your private life, where you're so, so over-leveraged in debt. Now we go and bring it to our real estate investing or your Bricken Investment Group and you think about, and talk to your clients. I'm sure you're bringing this up too. When the media tells us the federal reserve has increased the interest rates by 1%, for now one and a half percent in the last two cycles, it gives us automatically because we think in those categories, oh, one and a half percent. Yeah. That's something, but it's really not that much. It takes on a different quality when you look at it that, okay, that debt that we had in 2021 cost us 562 billion in interest at 0.25% interest. Now we are at 2.5%. How much is that? That's eight times as much. Well, and basic math tells us if it was 560 billion, it's eight times more interest and all we're talking about paying interest on it, it's eight times more than that, right? So we are looking now at potentially paying $2 trillion just an interest, but guess who is paying that? Anybody who pays taxes that in some way. And that's why I'm saying we need to be aware, and that's why these kinds of studies about, you know, where are we, where are we in this cycle, can this keep going on, or are we moving closer and closer to kind of like a realignment of some kind? And I think we do. I mean, certain things, I think we see it, you know, there's war in Ukraine, there's increasing friction between the United States and China as the two biggest economies in the world. Things are changing, not necessarily with guns, in Ukraine, yes. But in the bigger picture, we are not really shooting at each other, which used to be the way, right, the French revolution, World War I, and World War II and stuff. We used to shoot at each other and then at the end we reorganized everything. That's how the United States became the number one dog in the game, right? But I hope at least that we are not going to shoot at each other to realign, that we just realign by recognizing that certain things are just not sustainable going forward anymore. How is that going to look like? I can't predict, but one thing I know is people still need to live somewhere, right? And people still need to have some means of exchange with each other if they want to have any form of economy. However, that might look like. I don't know if we all going to have Bitcoin and Lightning Network in the future as our way of exchanging, or if we have a hybrid between regular money and digital money, who knows. But the means to exchange a service for a good, you know, something you do for some food that you buy or a car you want to have, and one of the ways that we are doing it in our Ideal Wealth Grower system is to help people to have value assets that even as the value of the money is declining, the value of the property remains. It's just more money. But that house in 1913 and the house in 2022 is the same house, fully renovated, same service that it provides to you. It's just more little pieces of paper that you need to put on the table.  [00:17:00] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah, absolutely. I like that idea where the value of whatever it is you're investing in remains absolutely the same. Tell me about this. You guys have, are working on, or maybe you currently have a platform where it is bringing some liquidity to real estate investments. I know, especially for us here on the commercial side, when someone parks a hundred or 200 or $500,000 with me. That's a pretty illiquid investment for actually all of us, myself included. I'm in plenty of deals right now that are completely illiquid. My capital is parked. Of course, I get my returns, but it's still parked capital. How are you guys solving the liquidity issue in real estate investments?  [00:17:43] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Well, the way we are serving it is basically by what I call fractional or tokenized real estate investing. And it's in a sense, you know, yes, you are a person. Yes, you may have an asset like a house, but for the stuff that you do, you get paid in some form of income salary and stuff like that. If you take that analogy and you try to transfer that into a typically illiquid asset, like real estate, we are using a platform that a friend of mine has founded where they go out basically and say, okay, let's look at the criteria that we want to have for a well-performing residential real estate property. Let's say a fourplex, and that fourplex is somewhere in the Midwest and it costs $240,000. And we have four units, each unit is rented for 600 bucks. So we have $2,400 rent. Now I would say, and I'm sure you would say just on the phase, regardless of how the process works underneath, that's 1% performance between purchase price and rent. That's pretty good. And if these four units are reasonable, like one or two bedroom, one bath units, $600 a month is actually not really an outrageous level of rent, right? So you have some of the criteria, then you look at the region where it is and you find out, well, this house is in a nice neighborhood. It has good access to reasonable schools to shopping, to transport and all those things that you would normally use to identify suitable properties. So this company, this platform goes and said, let's sign a contract for a 123 Bricken Avenue where this house happens to be. They put it under contract and the right next step is to say, okay, now let's form an LLC. That we call 123 Bricken Avenue, LLC. And because it's $240,000 and we want to sell the shares at $50 a pop, it's, what, $4,800. And then they put that literally on the platform. And so we have two scenarios, people who come to us and say I have 10, 15, $20,000 that I can use to invest. And we all know how the markets have gone up in value. That's typically right now, too little to really be able to make an investment in a full property, right? If you take our $240,000 property, we need $48,000 down payment for 20% up. So if you have 20 or 25, I would say, well, let's park it in our cash flow parking spot, which is this platform because that 123 Bricken Avenue for your 20 or $25,000, we can get about 10% of that LLC in shares. Of those 4,800 shares, we can get probably 450 or 480 for the money you have. And you will participate in the performance of this property, in the cash on cash return. They have $2,400 rent, the depreciation, all the good stuff that I'm sure you have many times mentioned on how real estate is actually a really good investment and what it does for an investor. All of that, you participate in. The only thing that you don't have when you invest in this platform compared to buying a property outright is the leverage, right? Because if you had to only put in these 20% slash $48,000 and you get a $240,000 property, you make all the rent, you get the whole benefit, but you only needed to put 20% in. Well, if you go on that platform, it's basically a cash purchase. But the beauty is, and why we are recommending it is for one, for this person that has that 20, $25,000. But also for people to say, I know real estate investments is getting me into valuable assets just as we discussed earlier. But I only have a few thousand or I can only really put a couple of hundred dollars aside, but then you can get familiar, go through the same process, all the things that we normally do as I mentioned, and putting your money into this cash flow parking spot until it has grown to be enough to make a direct investment into your first own property. And the reason it's liquid, because that's what you were asking, Sam, is how do you do it to keep it liquid is that, in this kind of investing, it's a cash purchase and the rent proportionally to how many of the shares you own? Let's say you own 450 of the 4,800, you get proportionally that's about 9% or so, 9% of all the things, the depreciation, the rent, and so forth. You get every day. Now you don't get your tax papers every day. You get that once a year, but the rent is basically in your account. You can log into your account. And every day at 6:00 PM, you see the rent for the day is there, which also means if the day comes where you say, Hey, Sam actually wants to now buy this property next door. That is the same thing, same price, same rent, same thing, but they want to own it together. Well, then we sell our shares. We got our rent yesterday at 6:00 PM. And we get the value of our shares, plus any kind of appreciation and now have that cash to buy the property next door. That's just another fourplex, the same thing on the same street, right? So that's basically how we basically keep the liquidity because I call it the share, meaning like the relationship between those who actually have the property on the platform and us as the investors is updated 6:00 PM every day. So the fact that your share, basically your relationship with the providers is up to date at 6:00 PM every day, which means you basically are good. You have your rent money. Everything is in your account. If you say, I want to sell my 450 shares tomorrow, you get the value of your shares. If there was any appreciation in the property, then they're not $50. There might be $51 now per share. Plus you get got all your rent up until yesterday night. So you're all good.  [00:23:43] Sam Wilson: That's amazing.  [00:23:43] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Obviously, these shares don't go back to some kind of title company. They just go to somebody else, either in the LLC or on the platform where every Friday after 3:00 PM, any shares that have been provided back to the platform for, say, for anybody who goes there and wants to have some more, right? So it's basically, very, very liquid in that sense, but all the rules, all the things that we and your audience are familiar with when it comes to residential real estate investing apply except for the finance.  [00:24:14] Sam Wilson: Right. Axel, this has been absolutely fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to come on the show today to kind of break down where you think we are going in the economy. We've talked a lot about money. We've talked about ideal wealth growing and talking about, you know, finding the right amount of cash flow to how much money you're looking to replace. Things like that. And then also just a really unique platform that you guys are working on that is bringing liquidity to the real estate, I guess, you could call it shares space 'cause they're, that is really what's lacking is liquidity amongst shareholders. So I think that's going to be a really interesting thing that, you know, and we see this coming. It's something that's been needed for a long time. So thank you for taking the time to kind of pioneer that product and figure it out here for our investors. If we want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?  [00:25:00] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: One best way is to just go to idealwealthgrower.com and wait about 30 seconds and something pops up and says, set up a call, so you can do that. And you get like, an invitation to the newsletter and stuff like that. But also if you just put Ideal Wealth Grower into Google or any other search engine, we are pretty much on any social platform and so forth. So there's a thousand roads that lead somehow to get to us and get in touch.  [00:25:26] Sam Wilson: Awesome. And we want to make sure, of course, we put that in the show notes, idealwealthgrower.com. Axel, thank you again for going to the show today. I certainly appreciate it.  [00:25:34] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Yeah. Awesome. Thanks, Sam. Thanks for having me. 

SHOW NOTES: This week, Dr. Dickson and I sat down again to take the conversation to another level as we talk about going out to make a difference, changing narratives, and empowering younger generations in medical education. Highlights from the conversation: [00:00] Asante Dickson, MD · Co-Founder/President of Ascension Medical Educators, LLC · A longtime advocate for social justice in healthcare and education · Keynote speaker/Medical educator providing quality healthcare and mitigating healthcare disparities [06:03] Ascension Medical Educators Ascension Medical Educators is a professional coaching mentoring service in 2018. It started with an idea of changing the way we support people in the medical pipeline. [16:28] How our upbringing affects us Where we grow up, what house we live in, what our parents do, how our parents think, what they are exposed to and what they expose us to contribute significantly to whatever challenges we're about to face. To Dr. Dickson's family, education was everything but only few people are in the medical field. So, it was up to Dr. Dickson to figure out how he would go about organic chemistry. In short, he has always lived with “there's got to be a way, I just do not know what it is yet”. This ended up in him partnering with his mentor to start Ascension Medical Doctors. [34:29] Who does Ascension Medical Educators help? Medical students are in battle and they see their comrades slowly lose the battle. And so sometimes, “C = MD” becomes a coping mechanism to keep up with all the challenges. The Avatar of people that Ascension helps are those students who decide to come back to the medical school, they are now working to put together their applications, put together their medical classes to prepare themselves for admission in the medical school. Additionally, they also help students, interns and residents who need assistance with standardize tests. Conclusion: With over three decades of experience from the "inside" perspective of the medical school admissions committee, Ascension Medical Educator is uniquely positioned to authentically evaluate credentials and provide honest feedback and strategic recommendations to enhance consideration for medical school admission with expert side by side coaching, to build Medical School Admission Plan.

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Such dangers prompt many people to stay out of the sun. But could sun-avoiding behavior actually be to our own peril? A Swedish study shows a surprising relationship between sun-avoiding behavior and mortality. Internal medicine and sleep specialist Dr. Robert Seheult says diseases, like dementia and diabetes, have increased as people spend less time in the sun. Psychiatrist Dr. Jingduan Yang describes patients with depression who sleep on the ‘sunny side' of the bed leaving hospital earlier than those who don't. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the connection between the human body and nature. To Dr. Yang, the body's circadian rhythm is like an internal sun inside of us. Is it a coincidence that the vast majority of his patients with mental illness have correspondingly low levels of vitamin D? In this episode of #VitalSigns I seek out the benefits of sun exposure with the experts and probe the age-old question of how to get more sun safely. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

In this episode of The New CISO, Steve is joined by Dr. Adrian Mayers, VP and CISO at Premera Blue Cross, to discuss what to consider when interviewing for CISO positions and how to trust your tech in the security field. Since fifth grade, Dr. Adrian Mayers has had a passion for computers. Now a CISO, he shares the role computers play in a security professional's day-to-day life. Listen to the episode to hear more about Dr. Adrian's advice for aspiring CISOs, the relationship between human behavior and tech, and his thoughts on the transition to automation. Listen to Steve and Dr. Adrian discuss how to find the right security team and solve human problems with technology: Meet Dr. Adrian (1:56) Host Steve Moore introduces our guest today, Dr. Adrian Mayers, who shares a bit about his life before Premera Blue Cross and his childhood interest in computers. The Power of Story-telling (5:43) Dr. Adrian explains his love of narrative-based gaming and how escapism provides relief after difficult work days. He also shares how video games give him strategy ideas he uses in his current role. The Character of a Leader (8:19) When asked about his characterization of a leader, Dr. Adrian reflects that a leader is someone who has integrity at their core. He expresses the importance of evaluating who you are and ensuring you bring your values into a leadership position. Advice For Aspiring CISOS (9:25) Steve asks Dr. Adrian his advice for those interviewing for CISO positions.  Dr. Adrian shares why you should communicate how security plays into your day-to-day life and ask questions about the team's previous history when tackling security problems. The main thing is to be comfortable with who's in front of you because you would build relationships with this team if offered the position. Looking For Your Next Position (16:08) There are different considerations if you're courting a government position than evaluating a job at a start-up company. Ultimately, it depends on each security company's process and context when navigating the interview stages. Solving Human Problems (18:25) Steve asks Dr. Adrian about his thoughts on tech solving human problems.  Dr. Adrian reminds the listeners not to get so wrapped in the technology that they forget what they're trying to do: tackle human problems. Ultimately, tech helps CISOs do this work, but focusing on the human elements will keep you centered and effective. Not Trusting The Tech (21:44) Dr. Adrian recognizes that many security professionals wonder if they can trust data platforms versus the insights of actual human beings.  He also understands that there is a difference between installing programs and implementing them. Overall, if you take the time to understand the tools, you can see how tech makes effective security decisions regarding human problems. Defending Automation (26:27) Steve presses Dr. Adrian on ways to convince security professionals to automate low-level tasks.  Dr. Adrian assures the listeners that these changes are being made daily in the security field. By clarifying to security professionals that they will not be replaced by automation but will have more space for high-level problem-solving, the transition will be easier for teams to accept. The Definition of Good (29:49) Dr. Adrian explains that the definition of “good” for security programs stems from people. If security professionals have a sense of purpose to show up every day and learn how to use the tech, then that is the measure of a quality program. If you build a dialogue with your security team and understand their concerns and issues, they will have a sense of ease when moving in a technological direction. Final Advice (38:45) To Dr. Adrian, the most vital thing when interviewing for a CISO position is always to do your homework. If you are clear about your experience and how you can benefit the security team, you will be able to communicate why you are suitable...

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 3 Episode 3 Episode Title: The Imposter Phenomenon  Guest: Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.   Show Summary: “We need to start changing the narrative, stop thinking about the individual as the issue, and start examining how these environments are triggering the impostorization of individuals..”   In any field or industry, people commonly experience insecurity, the perception of being a fraud and undeserving of all their triumphs and accomplishments. They genuinely doubt their achievements. It has become an ordinary reality to most of us, especially those who have successfully attained their goals or desired profession. We call this the Imposter Syndrome.    To Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez, an Associate Professor of Management at Loyola Marymount University, and a contributor for Inc. Magazine, while working on her research, she refers to it as The Imposter Phenomenon to avoid the stigma and create a safe space for people to express their experience with it.    In her research, she realized that most articles and discussions on this topic tend to focus on the individual viewed solely as the issue. Thus the strategies that they promote to counter this phenomenon are often fixed to an individual approach. Hence, she coined the term ‘Impostorization', which means considering the role of the environment and how it triggers the imposter feeling.    Dr. Gutiérrez talks more about the policies and practices of organizations that can lead to people questioning their intelligence, competence, and sense of belonging in the spaces they occupy. She also talks about the critical importance of how these institutions can help in avoiding impostorization among their people.  3 Exceptional Highlights:   Relationships are so meaningful. And the intentions that you have behind the feedback are so essential for people in organizations, particularly the Latinx and African American communities, because you need to be aware of the stereotypes that are out there that create this impostorization for us. Extensive research finds that in many organizations, these standards of professionalism tend to be very narrowly defined. A lot of organizations are encouraging employees to bring their authentic selves to work. But when they show up as our true selves, they're asked to modify who they are. Some studies find that low self-esteem is highly correlated with the imposter phenomenon. But they're distinct constructs.   Show Highlights:    The importance of changing the narrative in impostorization   13:38 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   Strategies and effectiveness may be minimal if you're feeling like an impostor because of your environment and the organizations you belong to.    14:40 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   It's crucial to change the narrative and stop thinking about an individual as the main issue and start examining how these environments are triggering the impostorization of a person and how we can work around that.   How to give critical constructive feedback without triggering impostorization   17:26 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   You can express what you think is essential in the person's work and let them know that there are different ways that they can strengthen it. You deliver the message in a more effective developmental way than using atrocious words. 18:44 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   You can start establishing a good relationship with your students or employees to feel comfortable with you, and they can trust that you have their best interest at heart. The irony and connection of authenticity and impostorization   20:51 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   Impostorization comes in when the organization is not receptive to an employee's authenticity.    22:30  Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   Most organizations don't recognize that how we pronounce our name is connected with our identity and sense of authenticity. By asking us to use a nickname or anglicizing our name can lead to impostorization.    Eliminating impostorization in organizations   30:10 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   Carefully examine how their existing policies and practices and how they do business may be inadvertently causing employees to feel like they don't belong in that environment.    30:58 Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez   Pay disparity. Suppose an employee performs the same work as somebody else in the organization, and they discover that they're getting paid less than their counterpart. In that case, that can lead that employee to question their value to the company.   Important Links:   Dr. Angélica Gutiérrez Call to Action: Subscribe to Diversity Matters and get exclusive access to all episodes of Beyond the Mill, which is my live diversity dialogues talk show that I host on campus at Rutgers University-Camden.    Episode Sponsor Links:      Producer Links:   Host Social Media Links:   Subscribe to Diversity Matters  Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher   

Around 1 in 4 recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage - and this number most likely is even higher because many women miscarry before they realize they are pregnant. But even though miscarriage or pregnancy loss is so common, it makes it no less painful because it's not common for you. Dr. Kate White, OB/GYN is on the podcast today to discuss this sensitive subject to bring understanding, compassion and hope to those who have experienced miscarriage or pregnancy loss. She is not only an OB/GYN that helps couples with this type of loss, but she is also a mom and a miscarriage survivor herself.

She is the author of the books Your Guide to Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss and Your Sexual Health.

For many, being first is an accomplishment. It is an accolade to boast about to friends, family, colleagues. To Dr. Jenifer Welter, it means something entirely different. Dr. Jenifer Welter, the first female NFL coach, sits down to talk with Game Changers Host Katie Steinberg about her experience as a trailblazer in the NFL.Dr. Welter began by talking about the importance of conceptualizing the possibility of something happening before it happens, perhaps even creating this possibility in a virtual space, if not yet a reality. As a trailblazer in female empowerment, Dr. Welter emphasized the loneliness of the accomplishment, “First inherently means only.”While it may be a lonely path, Dr. Welter talked about the importance of doing a good enough job to “be sure you're not the last.” There's a lot of attention and increased speculation about you as a first, especially as the first female in NFL coaching. Dr. Welter emphasized thinking about the narrative of the situation, “Keep your head down and your vision strong,” and don't let them break you.Although there may have been more focus on Dr. Welter because she is female, she also has a more unique approach to coaching than traditional styles. Her mindset is to build the relationship with the player, and in doing so, the player and coach will have a better and more positive relationship value.Dr. Welter said, “Most guys have been coached by women their whole lives,” whether they realize it or not, and to employ this Dr. Welter said it's her goal to, “Refresh the narrative on what is tradition and what is effective.”Dr. Welter doesn't yell. She guides and supports. She encourages and helps. What resonates with her and with her athletes is “authenticity.” Change is always coming, what's important is to understand that “courage can be contagious” and changing situations for the better.

In this episode, the dogs talk about the current Russian invasion of Ukraine and its similarities to previous conflicts (00:45). Rob poses the question: "Do ideas shape history or do people shape history?" (08:15). They all discuss the glory of the saints (20:26), the need for true friendship (25:00), and the communion that is available to us at all times (26:30). Quotes: “In the fight for holiness, how I respond to this person's email, that's the battle that will make me a saint or not.” (Rob, 14:30) “Instead of hating the people you think are war-makers, hate the appetites and disorder in your own soul, which are the causes of war. (Thomas Merton, 18:10) “For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21) “The escape from history and its determinisms is not by standing outside of it but by willingingly entering into it with Christ” (Connor, 18:40) “Somehow through this suffering and this death we are being drawn not only closer to God but closer to each other so that when we all look back on this, as a family in Heaven, we can say, this is how He saved us.” (Connor, 20:04) “I need to see the Christian narrative embodied in a person. To have those saints, who bring that into reality, who mediate heaven and earth, that's a powerful thing to see.” (Mike, 21:56) “Friendship is one of the great antidotes to despair.” (Connor, 25:00) “The devil scatters, he wants us to think everything is discrete and separate.” (Connor, 25:21) “The truth of communion is right here in front of us all of the time.” (Connor, 26:29) “He went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him.” (Mark 3:13) Media Mentions: Thirteen Days (2000)Aldai Stevenson Addresses the United Nations on the Cuban Missile Crisis Barbara W.

TranscriptRickey: Hello, and welcome back to The Research Park Chronicles. I'm your host, Rickey McCallum, and throughout this podcast, I'm going to lead you on a journey through the gateway to collaboration. We talked about what a research park does in the last episode, and today, we're going to dive into how one came to be here in Knoxville, Tennessee, and what it's already accomplished. This modern research park at the University of Tennessee would have never been possible without the vision of one influential scholar. But more on that in just a minute.To fully appreciate and understand UT's Research Park, it's important to start by looking back in time to understand the land's Native American roots. At one corner of the University of Tennessee Research Park lies a serene bank of the Tennessee River. As researchers, we're always focused on developing new and exciting projects, but every now and again, it's worth taking a moment to pause and reflect.As we look over the waterway, Sequoia Hill stands in the distance. And with the familiar sounds of running a creek and birds chirping, it's easy to forget that behind us is a collection of modern buildings that make up UT's Research Park. What was this campus like before these buildings were built, before it was a dairy farm, and before the city had ownership of the property, back hundreds and even thousands of years ago, at a time when the land was inhabited by Native Americans? For that answer, I asked Tom Rogers, the current President and CEO of the University of Tennessee Research Park, who knows quite a bit about the site's ancient history.Tom: The site itself is 200 acres, but as they did the environmental scans required to get the development underway, only 75 acres of that 200 acres is really developable. The rest of it is down near the river and has been preserved in perpetuity because of its archeological significance. As they did that original archeological investigation, they actually found artifacts that date back to 6000 BC.Rickey: The university works with Dr. Candace Hollenbeck, a professor of archeology at UT, to help preserve that history and culture, and so we decided to visit her in her element on site at the Research Park to learn a little bit more. And to help us put this area into its historical context, Dr. Hollenbeck starts at the beginning.Candace: Here in East Tennessee, pretty much anything flat next to a river is going to have several thousand years—five to ten thousand years—of occupation on it. That's the case here, too.Rickey: Dr. Hollenbeck says that this land has changed a lot over the past 10,000 years, with river movement and flooding, creating ‘build up' as she calls it.Candace: So, if we were to take a big backhoe and dig straight down right here, we could probably go down about four meters or so and maybe hit the bottom, maybe hit 10,000 years ago, or maybe not. Even going down four meters—12 feet or so—we may hit around 6000 years ago and could probably keep going. And then, river stabilized, probably around 5000 years ago or such, and that's when we start seeing people, even to 3000 years ago, and people could become more sedentary.Rickey: There have even been some interesting archeological finds from these digs, says Dr. Hollenbeck.Candace: There are these Mississippian time period villages down here houses, house structures, that are dotted along that area. And so those are really neat. They date to around 800 years ago or so. And so, those are probably some of the most exciting parts of it. You know, there's a little hamlet and then some individual farmsteads, homesteads in between. So, kind of imagining those communities I think is fun.Rickey: Once people started to settle at the site, we can see their history in the archeological record. Dr. Hollenbeck breaks that down for us as the riverbanks transition over into farmland over the years.Candace: Tennessee in the mid-south is one of eight to ten independent centers of domestication around the world. So, native peoples here, around 4000 years ago, domesticated a set of crops, including sunflower seeds, which we know today, squashes—a little bit earlier than 4000 years ago, even—another one called sumpweed, which is very similar to sunflower, and then [quinapod 00:04:23], which is similar to quinoa. Quinoa is the South American cousin, but people up here domesticated a similar relative of it, too. And so they settled down and became farmers around that time.Rickey: These early cultures were just one part of the history of the site. Later tribes would come to the region as well.Candace: We see some similarities and some continuities from those Mississippian cultures to the Cherokee, historical Cherokee cultures, and such, but they are also changes and things, too. It gets really complicated. But yes, a lot of shifting and a lot of movement of people, a lot of trade, even back 5000, 10,000 years ago. A lot of people moving. And we're so used to our cars and such, we forget how—we have no concept, we have no concept of how they could have relatively quickly gotten across the landscape. These rivers and creeks and such are a huge avenue as well.Rickey: Artifacts are still being discovered on site and Dr. Hollenback and her team are taking measures to help further protect them.Candace: Whether we entice students to become archeologists or not, I think just to give them that appreciation of the history and kind of have pride in it so that we can protect archeological sites like this one here. We're really lucky because we do have this overlay and UT Research Park that is committed to preserving that area.Rickey: The university is working on ways to formally recognize indigenous people and their native connection to the land upon which UT now stands, such as through a committee tasked with drafting a land acknowledgement statement. Though this is still being created, several members of the committee have begun to use this statement that, reads, “The land upon which the University of Tennessee-Knoxville is built is part of the traditional territory of the Tsalagi [Sal a ghee] peoples, now Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. The Tsoyahá [Soy Ah Hey] peoples of Yuchi, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and Shawnee peoples (Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Shawnee Tribe).”As Dr. Hollenback has illustrated, farming is nothing new to the landscape of the park. Farming came to dominate the site for thousands of years. So, here's Tom again to tell us a little bit more about that.Tom: Back in the 1890s, this property was actually sold by the city of Knoxville to a private developer who laid out a plan for a residential development that he called Cherokee. And we think that's where the name originally came from. He actually built a bridge from what is now Sequoia Hills over into the park, and had a layout that looked very much like Sequoia Hills. This city eventually took the property back for non-payment of taxes, but the bridge stayed for nearly 40 years until it became so dilapidated that it was torn down. You can still see the abutments of the bridge on both sides of the park. So, that was an interesting beginning. The city then sold the land to the university and it became a dairy farm. That's what I remember it as when I came to this town many years ago.Rickey: The 200 acre stretch of flatland remained a dairy farm for many years. Rogers says many of the University of Tennessee alumnus first and foremost remember the land as a dairy farm.Tom: They talked about having milk delivered to their dormitories every morning from the dairy farm.Rickey: Though this old dairy farm is currently home to a burgeoning Research Park, about 75 acres of the property is being preserved and recognized due to its Native American history. The Park may also soon serve the university's mission and the public's interest by utilizing the Cherokee Landing site for educational and recreational purposes.Tom: Over a several year period of time to develop the park-like portion of the Research Park into something we hope to call Cherokee Landing to have a synergy with Volunteer Landing, and Suttree Landing, and the other areas here and in town. That would be open for recreation, as there's a greenway now, and lots of people come here and walk and ride bikes and bring their dogs on the weekends. But we'd love to have access to the water so that people can use kayaks and canoes and paddle boards. And build some structures and some ways of celebrating the Native American heritage that's here. So, on the longer range horizon, that's definitely in our plans.Rickey: This project is a collaboration between the university's Research Park and the Legacy Parks Foundation, which is helping to coordinate the development of the concept and the plan of the design for the sprawling Cherokee Landing site. At this point in our story, it might seem as though the plan for the Research Park at the University of Tennessee sprang into life overnight, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It took a lot to bring this idea to where it is today, and none of it would have been possible without the efforts of one man: Dr. David Millhorn. So, who was Dr. Millhorn?Stacey: Dr. Millhorn was my mentor. He became my friend and even kind of a father figure for me in many ways.Rickey: That's Dr. Stacey Patterson, current president of the UT Research Foundation. Dr. Millhorn passed away in 2017 and had previously served as president of the UT Research Foundation.Stacey: Many people described him as stoic and to himself, but that was only if you didn't really get to know him. Dr. Millhorn had a small circle, but once you were in that circle, you her family to him. He was the type of person that took care of the people that he worked with. He really believed that this University had the potential of any place in the world. And he had been at many different places, but Tennessee was his home, and he really believed that this was his opportunity to realize a big vision. And that's what he spent his whole time, his whole 11 years here doing.Rickey: While Tennessee may have been home. Dr. Millhorn didn't start his career at the University of Tennessee.Stacey: Dr. Millhorn had spent a number of years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he had been a department head of physiology, and then he had moved to the University of Cincinnati, where he developed the inaugural Genome Research Center with a pharmaceutical company. So, he had a vision already coming in as to what it meant for a university to work with the private sector and what that could mean for the faculty, staff, and students of the university, but more importantly, even the region in which that opportunity was taking place.Rickey: Dr. Millhorn joined the University in 2005, where he oversaw the management of science and technology programs at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and for much of his time, he served as Vice President of Research and Economic Development. Along the way, his responsibilities grew, becoming the Executive Vice President at the University in 2007, and later becoming the president of the UT Research Foundation in 2014. His work during this time was significant to the development of the university's research enterprise, which included, amongst other accomplishments, a contract with the US Department of Energy to manage Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a $65 million NSF grant, which is the largest of its kind during the time, to build the world's fastest supercomputer, and of course, the establishment of UT's Research Park. Throughout his career at the University, Dr. Millhorn had a vision in mind for what would ultimately become the Research Park as we know it today. Dr. Patterson describes his vision in this way.Stacey: He had a vision that we would bring in large companies that faculty could collaborate with, we could build big research programs, and we could provide opportunities for students. One of the challenges we have in this region is we educate some really top notch students, and in the graduate programs, oftentimes those students have to go to other parts of the country to get gainful employment. And so Dr. Millhorn's vision was, if we could bring those companies here, then we could offer high pay, high technology jobs right here and we could keep those best and brightest students in this region, and it would lift the whole community up.Rickey: As I'd mentioned in episode one of this podcast, university research parks are the physical locations developed and designed to foster an environment of collaboration between universities, the public and private sector, and federal research labs. In addition to the way research parks benefit local economies, research parks can also benefit their respective university systems. Let me explain.The University of Tennessee is a Tier One research university, which means it is a university that's known for world-class research, academic excellence, and exceptional student body—as Dr. Patterson noted—as well as high levels of innovation, creativity, and scholarship. Like all universities, UT looks for ways to draw in that top tier talent to the university, and in turn this benefits not only our students and faculty, but our current Park tenants, and the local community. Dr. Millhorn knew that we would need a dedicated research park with the likes of MIT, Cal Berkeley, and other universities in close proximity to major national labs to increase the recognition and prestige.But for many at the University of Tennessee, this combination of academic, community, and economic drivers was a challenge to understand at first. It took a lot of trust building to convince them that this effort was worth pursuing. Naturally, Dr. Millhorn got to work. He leveraged his many contacts and developed a very clear vision for what a collaborative space could look like.Over the early years of his time at UT, Dr. Millhorn developed a plan that would convey the case for a research park to the university and how having a dedicated research park would help the faculty at the University further develop the University, and also have a positive economic impact on the region as a result of this park. So, in addition to the development of the Research Park, a small business incubator was constructed on the Ag campus. Here, students and faculty could go to further develop their entrepreneurial endeavors, giving the university, and the public a glimpse into the future of what a collaboration could look like with a full-fledged research park. In 2009, when Dr. Patterson joined the UT system as a director of research partnerships, the case for the Research Park had already been submitted in the mind of the university and plans were already underway for the development of the Research Park property.Stacey: The concept of the UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm was actually developed by Dr. Millhorn prior to me joining his office. But I joined in 2009 right when the infrastructure project was underway and we were finishing up the master plan and development guidelines so that we could move things forward.Rickey: Development quickly became the next challenge. With the university on board for this project, they had secured a grant for more than $30 million to purchase Cherokee Farm from the state for use as the University of Tennessee Research Park. Now, the main obstacle was to get the residents of Sequoia Hills on board with the concept of trading in a cow farm for a massive research complex.Stacey: The residents were really concerned about what the differences were going to be, going from a few cows on that property to what Dr. Millhorn was envisioning as an active, thriving public-private partnership type research park. So, there was a lot of outreach, a lot of community meetings, we went to neighborhood meetings, I even did a couple of Sunday school classes at the churches that were across the neighborhood and talked about the vision of the Research Park and what it would mean to the region. And one of the things if you knew Dr. Millhorn and what he was interested in doing, he always looked out for the institution first, so it was always clear to the constituents that that this wasn't about him; this was about making the university and Knoxville, the Knoxville region, a better place for its citizens.Rickey: Dr. Millhorn stressed the value of the Research Park and its intersection with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to the residents of Sequoia Hills. To Dr. Millhorn, those who called Sequoia Hills home needed to know that the park would bring skilled workers to the town and keep Tennessee's best and brightest in their home state.Stacey: When companies come in, they think about this region. They're impressed that we have the University of Tennessee, the state's flagship research public institution here in Knoxville; we have what I consider a national treasure, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. And it's really the combination of those two institutions and the brain power that they represent that really make this region special. It makes it a special opportunity for companies to come and engage with those kinds of people and the technologies that are developed here, the opportunities.I think that Dr. Millhorn was—I'll say he was an early adopter. He saw that. He was able to see what that potential could be, and he was bought in completely and wholly. And I think the Research Park is part of that, of his vision of how those two institutions could work together to just make this region a really spectacular and special place.Rickey: Eventually the land was secured and approved by surrounding stakeholders. The university began constructing its first research park facility in 2014. Tom Rogers recalls his first time looking at the plot of land where they were planning to build.Tom: First time I drove over to see what Dr. Millhorn's vision really looked at, I was pretty much overwhelmed, wondering where people were going to park. There were beautifully laid out one-acre parcels, about 16 of them, but it wasn't logical to me where people were going to park. As we've discovered since then, the original master plan called for parking garages, about 4000 parking spaces in two parking garages.Rickey: Dr. Patterson says parking may not have been the top concern for Dr. Millhorn. For all he brought to the Research Park and the university, this was a guy that wanted to discuss big ideas rather than minutiae.Stacey: So, Dr. Millhorn is one of the biggest thinkers I've ever had the privilege of working with. He would often say, “Oh, I can't be bothered by these small things.” He wanted to be part of a big transformational things like the relationship with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, like the UT Research Park. He would thrive on it, and there aren't as many people in the world that can have that big vision like he does.Rickey: Oh, and the parking situation did get worked out, of course.Tom: For better or worse, we now have a PhD in parking lot and parking garage construction and finance, and they're just not feasible at this time. And so actually later on this afternoon, we're going to begin a process to update our master plan that focuses more on reality. I think there aren't 16 developable lots out here; there are probably eight or nine as you include the surface parking that goes around them. And as you also know, we're hopeful that we'll soon have three projects under construction at the same time. And so that the park is going to look a little bit different than I think it was originally envisioned.Rickey: Dr. Millhorn didn't shy away from taking a leap of faith. Dr. Patterson says that her mentor taught her the value of taking risks.Stacey: I was very privileged to be able to work side-by-side with him, hand-in-hand, really getting to understand that sometimes you have to lean forward, you have to take a little bit of risk for a big reward. And he would do that time and time again. And by taking a little risk, pushing the envelope, frankly, making people a little bit uncomfortable, doing things differently than what they've ever been done at the University before, he was able to transform this institution.Rickey: As far as risk goes, building the first building of the Research Park was one of the first challenges Dr. Millhorn and his team ran into.Between 2014 to 2015, the first building was developed at the UT Research Park. It was built as a collaboration between Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the UT Research Park. It was very aptly named the Joint Institute for Advanced Materials, or JIAM for short. The first building on site was a direct result of the collaboration between the University and ORNL, an outside organization. As Dr. Patterson points out, it was a challenge to determine where to break ground on the new building at first.Stacey: That project actually has a very interesting history. There were a lot of different people that had a lot of different ideas of where that building should be located. Some people thought it should be located at Oak Ridge, some people thought it should be located on the Knoxville campus; there's not a whole lot of room for a building that size on the Knoxville campus. But Dr. Millhorn was a real advocate for putting that Joint Institute for Advanced Material Science at the UT Research Park, to act as a catalyst to get things going, get researchers and students out at the park, get some buzz going, make sure that it was in a space that made sense.So, it was in advanced materials, which is an area that is a special area for the University of Tennessee as well as at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We have lots of joint faculty who are world-renowned experts in this space. So, he really saw that as making sense as being a catalyst and hopefully launching the Research Park in a direction where we could potentially attract private sector partners. I think that's worked, right? So, JIAM opened several years ago, and since that time, many of the companies that we've been able to attract to the park and who are interested in being at the park have some affiliation with JIAM or want to do some collaboration with the researchers that are represented by the JIAM faculty. And so I think that's really exciting.Rickey: Clearly no challenge was too big back in 2014. Dr. Millhorn left his role with the university in 2016. After Dr. Millhorn's departure in 2016, Dr. Patterson was confirmed by the UT board of trustees to assume Dr. Millhorn's former roles as Vice President for Research, and Outreach, and Economic Development, as well as President and CEO of the UT Research Foundation. The university also looked to Tom Rogers, a veteran of ORNL, to become President and CEO of the Research Park. As a result of overcoming these challenges, Tom shares with us that—Tom: The University of Tennessee is one of a half-dozen universities in the country that manage national laboratories, along with the University of California, the University of Chicago, State University of New York, and a few others. And so it's a real feather in our cap. We've seen it as we visited with prospects interested in the park to explain to them that we're a gateway for collaboration with the University, but to also be able to say, “We're able to help you leverage the resources and talents of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as well,” will really raise some eyebrows. So, I think the relationship that UT has with the laboratory is a real asset. We're sitting today in the Joint Institute for Advanced Materials.The ‘Joint Institute' means Oak Ridge and UT. With your background at UT and mine at the laboratory, we know a lot of people and are able to help prospects that we have—companies, students, entrepreneurs—find the right people to work with at both institutions, and that's a great value proposition for this research park.Rickey: And even though Dr. Millhorn is no longer part of the institution, his legacy remains. Tom's vision for what the Research Park should be today and in the coming years is not wavering from the original vision.Tom: Another key tenet of successful university research parks around the country is embracing entrepreneurship and innovation. It's fine to work with professors and work with companies that want to collaborate with professors on research, to work with students, but it's really important to embrace young people and their ideas about the future. So, everywhere I've been, dating back to my early career days at TVA, I've been involved with small business startups, mostly on the technology side. I was involved with a great program at Oak Ridge called Innovation Crossroads.Rickey: As a result of his experience and the original vision for the Research Park, Tom has helped the Research Park launch the Spark Innovation Center, which assists early-stage tech companies with the right kind of support to become successful companies, right here in East Tennessee. Here's Tom with more about the Spark Innovation Center.Tom: We early on decided that entrepreneurship needed to be a focus out here. We've started something called the Spark Innovation Center and have six really talented young entrepreneurs growing companies here. The University is excited about that initiative. As we look to build our next building, they're going to incorporate more space for Spark in that building. I think you'll see that entrepreneurship really becomes an important part of the fabric that we're weaving here at the park.Rickey: As the park grows in size, and new buildings and partnerships get added to the park, there is a lot to be optimistic about. It's not just about the new buildings and businesses. The park is truly becoming a gateway to collaboration.Tom: My four decades plus of work has brought great relationships with the state and with TVA and others, and being involved with all of that gets the park in the middle, in the mix, for some really interesting prospects. We're in the homestretch of working with one now that would never have even thought about looking at the park, but on my first week of the job, got random call and said, “We hadn't thought about this, would you be interested in a prospect like this?” And they are a great fit for the Research Park.Rickey: Dr. Millhorn had a vision for what the park should become, but he also didn't stress too much about the details. Under Tom's leadership, the details are coming into focus and we're beginning to see where this path will take us in the next five to ten years. Tom and I reminisced about this during our conversation.Tom: Now, I think we're beginning to see some themes naturally emerge. One, of course, is advanced materials and manufacturing, with the work here at JIAM and the industry collaborations. Second is medical research because the University of Tennessee Medical Center and OrthoTennessee are building an ambulatory surgery center here and have committed to include research on the top floor of that facility. And there's a lot of interest at UT, both at UT Knoxville and at the UT Health Science Center in Memphis, about capitalizing on that opportunity.And the third, I probably can't coin as quickly as the other two. But it has to do with information technology, business analytics, supply chains, cybersecurity, that whole realm. There's just a lot of interest in the private sector, and it's some of the stronger programs at the university. So, we're seeing more and more companies saying that it really makes sense to be at the park, to be right across the river from the campus and those incredible students that they're producing. I'd say those three themes are going to emerge.There could be others as time goes on, but materials, medical research, and whatever we're going to call the analytics portion of it seemed to be the three themes that are most likely to lead us forward.[SPEAKER5: 00:28:06] I think the development of this new vision of being the gateway to collaboration with the University and ORNL has really driven the interest in what we're doing over here, far beyond what I remember it being when I was over on campus. So, I think the involvement, and the communication, and the buy-in from leadership on campus has really driven home that we have a unique opportunity to be able to develop something very special here that is going to help get our students get jobs, it's going to help build the economic development for the community of Knoxville and be able to help build this bigger ecosystem as we, kind of, move forward in the future development.Tom: I think the relationships that we are building on campus are really going to be mutually beneficial. It's pretty remarkable to see what we've been able to do in the last year with COVID. Originally, when we [headed for house 00:28:54], I was concerned that we might be dead in the water for a while. Now, I'm really looking forward to three to six months from now when we can start being face-to-face with people because we got an infrastructure built that can really, I think, accelerate the development of this park.Rickey: With Tom at the helm, the future of the UT Research Park is in good hands.When it comes to evaluating the Research Park's rich past, there is no doubt that Dr. Millhorn left a lasting impact. As Dr. Patterson puts it.Stacey: Dr. Millhorn's legacy is his vision. He was a big thinker. There was no project that was too big. There was no hurdle that you couldn't overcome.Rickey: Dr. Patterson says she knew he was the right person for the job since the beginning, as he strengthened UT's relationship with Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Dr. Patterson has taken over much of the role that Dr. Millhorn had, and she is carrying on his legacy, visions, and readiness to take risks with her.Stacey: Dr. Millhorn had made the decision with his family that it was time for him to take a little bit of a step back and to transition to more of an advisor role between the University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory as the National Laboratory advisor. He actually set up an office at Oak Ridge. He was having a lot of fun thinking about the [science 00:30:13] and having some time. He used to say a lot that, “I'm going to go home for the afternoon so I can think.”Because that was really a big deal for him, to be able to have some quiet time where he could just think and make sure that all those puzzle pieces were coming together. And I think this gave him an opportunity to do that and to think about how the relationship was working, and what wasn't working, and for him to really contribute further. I have truly appreciated the opportunity to serve as the Vice President for Research, Outreach, and Economic Development for the University of Tennessee, and I certainly could not have done it without the experience that I had with my mentor and friend, David Millhorn.Rickey: Dr. Patterson says she'll remember Dr. Millhorn as the caring man that he was: A father, an army veteran, an academic, an entrepreneur, and mentor.Stacey: He was a tough nut to crack. People didn't really know that. I can't tell you how many times in the last three years that I have asked myself, “I wonder what Dr. Millhorn would do in this situation?” It may sound weird, but I kind of feel like he gives me some guidance in those moments.Rickey: For me personally, while I did not have much time with him, I do recall the first time I ever met him. The reason I can remember this so vividly is that I can remember looking at him and thinking, “He is a spitting image of my grandfather,” a man that I hadn't seen since I was ten years old. And from that moment, he and I shared a very special connection, and one that I cherish today. In remembrance of Dr. Millhorn, Dr. Patterson's goal is to make him proud of the work that we're continuing to do.Stacey: One of the things that I want to make sure that we do is I want to make sure that we make him proud, that we do push on his vision, that we are always focused on what's in the best interest of the university, and what's in the best interest of this region, and the people of this region because that was really where his heart was, was around doing what's best for others. And I want to take just a little bit of that and make sure that we're following through with that, and in some way making him proud and making sure that his family is proud of the legacy that he's left here.Rickey: He would definitely be proud. Since breaking ground on the JIAM building, the Research Park has experienced several accomplishments over the past five years, like the development of our first public-private partnership, the announcement that Volkswagen is moving their North American Innovation Hub to the Research Park, the ribbon cutting ceremony of the Spark Innovation Center, and most notably, the collaborative partnership between UT Medical Center and OrthoTennessee to develop their 93,000 square-foot ambulatory surgical center that's scheduled to open in the spring of 2022. And we're well on our way to a bright future as a research park, an economic driver, and a park for the community.On the next episode of The Research Park Chronicles we're going to be speaking with the University of Tennessee Medical Center and OrthoTennessee about the orthopedic surgical center that's coming to the Research Park, and the medical research that will be happening in this facility.Rickey: Thank you for listening to The Research Park Chronicles with Rickey McCallum.

SHOW NOTES: This week, Dr. Dickson and I sat down again to take the conversation to another level as we talk about going out to make a difference, changing narratives, and empowering younger generations in medical education. Highlights from the conversation: [00:00] Asante Dickson, MD · Co-Founder/President of Ascension Medical Educators, LLC · A longtime advocate for social justice in healthcare and education · Keynote speaker/Medical educator providing quality healthcare and mitigating healthcare disparities [06:03] Ascension Medical Educators Ascension Medical Educators is a professional coaching mentoring service in 2018. It started with an idea of changing the way we support people in the medical pipeline. [16:28] How our upbringing affects us Where we grow up, what house we live in, what our parents do, how our parents think, what they are exposed to and what they expose us to contribute significantly to whatever challenges we're about to face. To Dr. Dickson's family, education was everything but only few people are in the medical field. So, it was up to Dr. Dickson to figure out how he would go about organic chemistry. In short, he has always lived with “there's got to be a way, I just do not know what it is yet”. This ended up in him partnering with his mentor to start Ascension Medical Doctors. [34:29] Who does Ascension Medical Educators help? Medical students are in battle and they see their comrades slowly lose the battle. And so sometimes, “C = MD” becomes a coping mechanism to keep up with all the challenges. The Avatar of people that Ascension helps are those students who decide to come back to the medical school, they are now working to put together their applications, put together their medical classes to prepare themselves for admission in the medical school. Additionally, they also help students, interns and residents who need assistance with standardize tests. Conclusion: With over three decades of experience from the "inside" perspective of the medical school admissions committee, Ascension Medical Educator is uniquely positioned to authentically evaluate credentials and provide honest feedback and strategic recommendations to enhance consideration for medical school admission with expert side by side coaching, to build Medical School Admission Plan.

Dr. Beena Nagappala has done a lot in her career as a family physician and a public health expert — and she's still going. As a practicing medical doctor as well as a leader in school-based community healthcare in Detroit, Michigan region, Dr. Nagappala knows how important public health is for everyone. Part of Dr. Nagappala's mission has always been to provide healthcare for people who wouldn't otherwise be able to access it. But unfortunately, in Detroit in particular, there are people who simply aren't able to get quality healthcare in the area where they live. To Dr. Nagappala, this is unacceptable. “I always feel the need to provide care for the indigent,” she tells our host Shane Tenny, CFP® in this episode of the Prosperous Doc ®. “Some of the school-based clinics [that I oversee] are in communities where there is a lack of access to care, in terms of transportation and doctors. They have to travel outside of where they live to access these types of services. There is a distinct level of care that they lack.” The COVID-19 pandemic has further proved the importance of ensuring everyone has access to healthcare and accurate information about science and medicine. Working within the school system has allowed Dr. Nagappala to reach more people. Dr. Nagappala joins Shane to discuss her experience juggling a part-time family practice with working as a public health policy expert and overseeing dozens of school-based clinics. She also shares her thoughts on what makes public health so important, especially during a pandemic, and what keeps her going in this field even when things get tough.  

Dr. Joseph Stern was accustomed to helping patients face some of the toughest times of their lives. But when his sister was diagnosed with advanced leukemia, he realized what it was like to be on the other side of the doctor-patient relationship — and gained some crucial insights along the way. To Dr. Stern, grief is a part of life that everyone will experience at some point. This begs the question: why don't we take an honest and community-oriented approach to dealing with it? Too often, he says, doctors gloss over the intense emotional aspects of their job. Ultimately, that avoidance leads to problems. “I think a lot of times doctors burn out, not because of the intensity of the emotions, but because of all the effort that they put into avoiding them,” Dr. Stern says. On this episode of the Prosperous Doc ®, our host Shane Tenny, CFP® welcomes Dr. Stern to talk about how his experience of personal loss has helped him become a more compassionate and empathetic doctor who can help more people. Dr. Stern talks about how he is working to change the medical field to be more compassionate, focusing less on procedures and more on relationships and quality of life. After his experience grieving the loss of his sister after being with her through such a tough illness, his outlook has shifted toward one of empathy and compassion — and this is something he says everyone can do without much effort. “Empathy actually doesn't take much time, it's not like you have to devote more time. I think it's a common myth: people think, well, if I'm going to be empathic, that means I have to see fewer patients, and I have to spend more time (with each of them),” Dr. Stern says. “No: it means making eye contact, it means listening — not just blurting things out. It means being more of a partner and less of a position of authority.”  

Although many people see emotional intelligence as a soft skill, Dr. Stevie Dawn thinks the opposite; it is a hard skill for her. And she goes even further. Before anything, she stops and asks herself why her brain is pushing her in that direction? To Dr. Stevie, emotions are a byproduct of a hormonal response to a mental trigger, meaning every emotion has a thought behind it. To understand and have more control over our emotions, we need to step back a bit and look for the thought that triggered that emotion. Our guest, Dr. Stevie Dawn, is a Keynote Speaker, Consultant, Coach, Author, Corporate Trainer, and the CEO and Founder of Stevie Dawn Inspires, LLC. She helps those who have unrealized profits, un-lived aspirations, and underwhelming results. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Small Business Administration from Union University, a Master's Degree in Sociology from Wichita State University, and a Ph.D. in Community College Leadership from Colorado State University. In this episode, our conversation revolves around a different perspective of what emotional intelligence really is. We travel back in time to the moment Dr. Stevie decided to investigate more about emotional intelligence, a decision that would change her life. We learn to use our feelings to leverage our day rather than letting them put us down, and much more. We also analyze the different relationships men and women have with their emotions; we talk about our mantras, the enneagram, and much more. Some Questions I Ask:Why did you decide to actually focus on emotional intelligence? (7:09)How has studying emotional intelligence impacted your life? (10:17)What does arguing from an emotional intelligence perspective looks like? (10:48)Let's say I want to go for a promotion at my job. How do I do it without having to defend myself?

In the past, professors and educators were seen as information sources; students would attend lectures to learn about stuff. To Dr. Bob Heere, our guest today, the role of the professor has (or should have) changed; students have access to information in the palm of their hands. He believes that students don't need the educators to tell them the story but to help them make sense of it and apply it to the real world.  Dr. Bob Heere is a Professor & Director of Sport Management at the University of North Texas. He was born in the Netherlands, where he got a Masters' degree in International Affairs from the University of Amsterdam. Dr. Bob spent his entire life in the academic space, whether as a Lecturer, Researcher, Knowledge manager, or Ph.D. Program Director. In 2005, he got his Ph.D. in Sport Management from Florida State University, and he actually lives in Texas.  In this episode, we look at the higher education system from a different perspective. Dr. Bob offers his unique point of view on the approach to lecturing, diversity, the creation of esports degrees, and paid internships. We also talk about the type of education students get from the University of North Texas, where Dr. Bob lectures, and more.  Connect with Dr. Bob on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobheere/ or send him an email at: bob.heere {at} unt.edu

In the 1st episode of Planet A's third season, Dan Jørgensen talks with Dr. Juergen Voegele, the World Bank's Vice President for Sustainable Development.Dr. Voegele is one of the world's leading experts on the interplay between food production, agriculture and climate change. In his current capacity, he oversees the World Bank's entire efforts on agriculture, food, climate change and the environment. In recent years, Dr. Voegele has emerged as a thought leader on the challenges that the growing global population and changing climate will pose for humanity in the coming decades. Most notably, he has applied his expertise as co-chair for the World Economic Forum's sustainability network “Global Future Councils”.In this episode, Dr. Voegele talks about the challenges posed by the expected global population growth from 7.7 billion people in 2019 to 9.7 billion in 2050. Firstly, we have to increase food production. Secondly, we have to make agriculture more resilient to a changing climate. Thirdly, we have to do it without drastically increasing land-use.Dr. Voegele also lambasts the agricultural sector for failing to produce game changing innovation that can stem climate change. Not only, in terms of advancing crops and plants that can re-absorb more carbon. But also for failing to mass produce sustainable crops such as algae or inventing a viable fertilizer.To Dr. Voegele, the international community needs to look at the entire food system. On the consumption side, a major problem is not merely diets based on carbon intensive stables such as beef, but also food waste. Today, food waste makes up 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions – more than the total emissions of India and its 1.4 billion people.Another question is whether – and how – we can transform agriculture into “carbon farms”; that not only feeds more people, but also serves as a carbon sink by growing crops that can capture and store CO2.

Professor and epidemiologist Michelle Long joins Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss the important Fatty Liver stories of the last few months. She focuses on the recent paper on prevalence of NAFLD and NASH in an unselected middle-aged population.To Dr. Long, an epidemiologist, there has been very little high quality perspective research on NAFLD/NASH prevalence. She discusses why she considers the study a methodological advantage. She and Roger Green agree that the conventional wisdom, which posits a 25% incidence of NAFLD and that 25% of NAFLD patients have NASH, is probably far too low. Instead, they note, a more realistic NAFLD estimate might be 37% NAFLD and a more realistic NASH estimate might be 14%. This suggests a far greater need to screen quickly and aggressively across most patient segments. At that point, Louise Campbell joins the conversation to suggest a strategy to screen faster and more efficiently. All things considered, this conversation increases the salience of diagnosing and treating Fatty Liver disease and some ways to find patients.

Spirituality is our connection with the divine. It is where our spirits are able to connect on a level above mortality with God. Often we can become scared and fearful of that higher level connection and what it will mean for the current truths we hold dear if we learn things that contradict them and the beliefs of those around us. To Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, discovering those truths from a place of courage instead of fear is how we have integrity with ourselves and with God. We believe in a Restoration that didn't just happen with the Prophet Joseph Smith, but that is still continuing today. It is our duty as saints in these latter days to realize that we are part of that Restoration as we establish Zion within ourselves and as a collective group by seeking out truth.

Jane and Anna listen to powerful messages about what being part of the natural world means to Hopecasters, and how they take action to protect our shared planet. To Mimi from Myanmar, living on Earth means “family.” To Dr. Kulkarni, a biologist at Harvard University, living on Earth means “ours,” as in something that is shared. Anna and Jane reflect on how different countries and people the Hopecast has been able to reach and how Jane has continued to inspire younger generations to take on climate change and animal advocacy. One young Hopecaster from Spain encapsulates what the Hopecast has meant to her and how Jane's words have encouraged her to become an activist at just 13 years old, telling Dr. Goodall: “You're more than an inspiration.

Do you have the responsibility to be a role model for others? You may not think that you matter sometimes. To Dr. Seuss, you do matter and you matter most to people who look to you as a role model. And if you want to just be you, you can do that too. But remember. You can't control who is looking up to you.

To Dr. Dixon discusses the importance of proper communication. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/premaritalbliss/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/premaritalbliss/support

Karen Law, MD, is an Associate Professor in the Division of Rheumatology, the Associate Vice Chair of Education, and the Program Director of the Jay Willis Hurst Internal Medicine Residency Program at Emory University's Department of Medicine. Dr. Law completed her medical school from Brown University. She completed her residency, chief residency, and rheumatology fellowship at Emory University. Over the past ten years, Dr. Law has established herself as a leader in medical education at Emory, having held multiple roles at the medical school, including small group advisor and Associate Director of the Third Year Medicine clerkship. She has won Emory's Dean's Teaching Award and the American College of Rheumatology Clinician Scholar Educator Award to name a few. Most all of us will face exhaustion at some point in our training. But Dr. Karen Law shares that with the right mindset, and the proper support (enter: mentorship), we can avoid landing on the extreme end of that spectrum. Today, Dr. Law shares stories of mentors who made her feel safe, who made her feel seen, and who made her feel heard. She explains that throughout her career, like many others, she experienced varying levels of burnout. To Dr. Law, having the support from strong mentors who were able to simply listen to her and understand her feelings, was a guiding light out of that personal exhaustion. She has come to realize that while it's easy to get caught up in the details, we shouldn't lose sight of the ultimate goal: to continually develop our intellectual curiosity and love for patient care. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. We do not have to accept the belief that to be a physician is to be burned out. When we break past the stigma, shame and guilt of being burned out, and openly acknowledging our experience, we make this burnout the exception, not the rule, in residency. 2. Don't delay your own diagnosis: If you're asking yourself if you are burned out, it means it's time to reach out to a mentor and start talking about these issues. 3. If you have intellectual curiosity, and love for patient care, you will find joy in whatever specialty you find yourself in.

We are all on a spiritual journey. To Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, admitting you have a soul and then taking care of it leads to spiritual health. How do you take care of it? Find whatever you call a higher power, and lay your ego at its feet. This will free your soul and allow you to have faith and trust in something bigger than yourself. It will give you a broader perspective on life and the lessons we are here to learn. Having faith, as well as learning how to take care of yourself, having healthy boundaries in all areas of your life, practicing forgiveness, giving from your heart, and having a connection with nature will lighten your stress, your sorrows, and your heart. Put some time aside each day to pray, read a good book, or study your favorite scripture. These days, family members do not spend time together and are separated by TV, computers, video games, smartphones, and social media. When possible, pray with family members. It has been proven to be beneficial for all involved. Family members who pray together tend to communicate with each other better and have the ability to resolve small issues before they take on a life of their own. Be grateful for everything that happens to you because these experiences, good or bad, happen for a reason and teach you something. Upon awaking every morning, give thanks for being alive. This planet is a huge schoolroom—anything that happens can be transformed into something positive by your spiritual beliefs, thoughts, and deeds. Know deep in your heart that you will be taken care of, no matter what. Dr. Carolle no longer fret about what should or should not be happening. She knows that all things unfold in divine order, that adversities are lessons she is supposed to learn for her own good, and you do not always get what you ask for when you ask for it. That morning in November 2014 when she awoke totally healed after surrendering control and asking God for help has really deepened her faith. Dr. Carolle truly knows in her heart that regardless of the adversity, with faith she will overcome it. Believe, surrender, trust, and always have faith. — Valeria interviews Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, the author of Heal Your Life: 25 Ways to Unleash Your Innate Healing Powers by Finding Your Purpose and Connecting With a Higher Power. Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat is a board-certified OB-GYN, and a primary care specialist. Born and raised in Haiti, she comes from a family of healers, shamans, herbalists, and midwives. She was educated in top universities in Haiti, Mexico, Jamaica, and the US, giving her a broad-spectrum approach to medicine and invaluable multicultural knowledge. She had a successful private practice in San Diego, California from 1982 to 2005.She is a gifted medical intuitive and spiritual healer who has helped thousands over the past four decades from all walks of life. In 2000 Dr. Carolle suffered severe burnout and had to re-invent herself. She has worked with under-privileged patients in dire conditions, even performing surgeries by flashlight in Haiti. She has also practiced medicine in highly acclaimed, technologically advanced hospitals in the U.S., helping thousands of men and women, including wounded warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and military sexual trauma (MST). In 2005, she closed her private practice in San Diego because she could no longer fit into a prescription-writing, bottom-line-oriented medical system that did not allow time and resources for doctors to properly care for patients as whole human beings. She would not compromise. Her dream was to continue treating and healing patients, using her own ideals. She created the Dr. Carolle's Healing Sanctuary of San Diego, where those who were ill or suffering could spend as much time as they needed with her. Fluent in five languages, Dr. Carolle combines her scientific knowledge with her extraordinary gift of intuition and clairvoyance to help those who are ready to heal. Her process helps to discover the root cause of patients' symptoms and teaches them how to use this information to begin the healing process. With faith and caring she guides patients and shows them their strengths, teaches them how to let go, and simultaneously helps them overcome the obstacles that have prevented them from being their best self.

To Dr. Anany Gretchko, organizing camps for the displaced in Port-au-Prince was much like managing small cities in the months following Haiti's devastating January 2010 earthquake. He and his team realized that part of their responsibility had to be the delivery of quality mental health care to residents, and that they—the caregivers—also needed space and time to heal.
