Guest Of The Week Camille Schrier grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, eventually moving to Virginia to complete dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry and Systems Biology with honors from Virginia Tech. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy at Virginia Commonwealth University.A science lover for life, in June 2019 Camille was selected as Miss Virginia after breaking from tradition to perform a highly engaging, entertaining and educational science demonstration, the “catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide” for the onstage talent competition. Her unique performance put a laser focus on women in STEM and sparked an enormous positive reaction, leading to a personal protective equipment sponsorship and a new STEM scholarship from an American chemical company. Camille traveled throughout Virginia inspiring thousands of students and became a sought after keynote speaker in the Commonwealth of Virginia. A national and international viral sensation, her story reached millions through The Today Show, Talk Stoop, CNN, BBC, The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS This Morning, Inside Edition, The Weather Channel, Southern Living, Canada's CTV, Germany's RTL, and many more.A certified Naloxone trainer and future Doctor of Pharmacy, Schrier utilizes her platform to advocate for promote her social impact initiative, Mind Your Meds: Drug Safety and Abuse Prevention from Pediatrics to Geriatrics, with a strong focus on combating the opioid epidemic.On December 19, 2019 competing live on NBC from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, Camille was named Miss America 2020 from among 51 candidates, distinguishing herself in the 100 year history of the organization as the only woman to win the job with the help of science as her talent. Also of historic significance, she is the only Miss America to ever face the challenge of serving her role through a pandemic and be fully grounded for an extended period. Flexible, adaptable, creative and resilient, Camille travelled the country both physically and virtually, speaking about drug safety and abuse prevention, naloxone and the opioid epidemic, leadership, innovation, authenticity and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a genetic disorder that she was diagnosed with at age 11. She secured partnerships with the DEA & CDC, brought science to thousands of students, and further carved her legacy as the first Miss America to speak in the United Nations General Assembly. Facing the pandemic using her pioneering mindset, Camille created an at home video studio which became the base for projects like “Cooking up Science with Miss America” with PBS VPM, and the “Mind Your Meds with Miss America” webinar series with Advanced Recovery Systems. She served as a virtual commencement speaker for her alma mater Virginia Tech, delivered dozens of keynote speeches personally and virtually for STEM, pharmacy, and business conferences, and “zoomed” with key experts in the areas of opioids and STEM as well as directly into science classrooms across the country to connect with thousands of children. An avid outdoorswoman with a passion for all living creatures, she loves fishing, hiking, and walking her canine companion. She considers herself a foodie with an innate hunger for “experimenting” in her own kitchen since she was a young girl, and a craving to never miss an opportunity to experience local cuisine wherever her travels may take her. ____________________________________ Host Of The ShowPaul A.

Patty opened the salon in her home to be close to her children in the year 2000. Six years later, while pursuing acting, she met the director of the Mrs. Maryland America pageant, Laurett Ellsworth Arenz while at a photo shoot. With heart disease as her platform, Patty was all in because heart disease is rampant on both sides of her family. However, as Patty’s daughter Elaina grew, it became evident that her platform should have been dyslexia. This was what Patty fought for for the next 12 years of her life. Even now as her daughter is a senior in high school, she is still fighting for Elaina to get the education she deserves.____________________________________ Host Of The ShowPaul A.

I’m all about the construction of “Tight-Bubbles of Total Focus” on certain days of the week. On these days, I get lost from the world, go dark and focus monomaniacally on the few projects that will count the most.When I work, devices are off, no one can reach me and I vanish completely. I retreat to a series of beautiful, light-filled, mess-free sanctuaries where my brain can then drop into “transient hypofrontality”. That’s the scientific term brain researchers use for when your mind waves slow down, a pharmacy of mastery is created within you and the pre-frontal cortex–the brain area where your noisy self-critic lives–becomes silent. Also priceless.This condition–which you have the power to create under the right environment–is often called “Flow”. It’s the state where your natural genius shows up. Time slows down. You see solutions that were un-evident before. We all have this ability. But with the TV on, the notifications sounding and the distractions happening, only those with an acute understanding of the importance of installing world-class conditions get to capture this state where the creative giants play. To help you make 2021 the greatest year of your life yet, Robin Sharma has created a new life-changing digital program [based on his #1 bestseller], The The 5AM Club Method .Click here to snap up one of the limited memberships to this truly amazing online course.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube
