What does better analytics actually mean when your mission is protecting the planet? At SAS Innovate, I sat down with John Blackwell, Director of Strategic Analytics at The Nature Conservancy, to explore how data, AI, and marketing intelligence are helping one of the world's largest conservation organizations raise more money, operate more efficiently, and ultimately direct more resources toward protecting land, water, and ecosystems across more than 80 countries. In this episode, John explains how analytics has become a critical part of modern conservation strategy. With fundraising supporting everything from habitat protection to climate resilience projects, improving donor retention and increasing fundraising efficiency directly impacts how much work The Nature Conservancy can do around the world. John shares how the organization improved donor retention by 10 percent and increased year-over-year giving by 30 percent by moving away from siloed systems and toward a more connected, data-driven approach. We discuss how analytics helps identify long-term donor potential, personalize supporter journeys, optimize fundraising asks, and create a clearer 360-degree view of donor engagement across email, direct mail, telemarketing, and digital channels. John also explains why personalization in the nonprofit world requires a very different balance than in commercial marketing. Trust and authenticity matter just as much as performance metrics. The conversation also explores how AI is quietly changing the way nonprofit analytics teams operate. From speeding up model development to improving feature selection and identifying rare high-value donor opportunities through synthetic data generation, John shares where he sees AI creating immediate practical value without compromising the human voice of the organization. What stood out most to me is how this is ultimately a story about efficiency creating impact. The more effective The Nature Conservancy becomes at fundraising and donor engagement, the more money can go directly toward conservation rather than operational overhead. And in a world where every nonprofit is competing for attention, funding, and trust, analytics may quietly become one of the most important tools available for protecting the future of our planet. So, as organizations continue investing in AI and analytics, are they focusing enough on the real-world outcomes those technologies can help create?

In this conversation, I sit down with Trey Jones. Trey Jones is a former convict who spent 10 years in a Tennessee prison, and while in prison, he had a near-death experience that awakened him to a very new and different perspective.While tattooing, Trey was offered a bump, of which turned out to be fentanyl, that put him out for 18 minutes.After six cans of Narcan and three defibrillator shocks, Trey awakened to a new lens on reality. He joins us to share his current teachings on victim mindset, his insights on what he calls ‘inverted narcissism', and his wisdom as a coach - Trey moves now as a Personal Authority Coach under the moniker ‘PrisonToPurpose444' (He's the founder of ‘From Prison To Purpose') - He does 1:1 interventions to dismantle victim identity and rebuild authority. He lives a more grounded life these days, as a proud father with his partner and son in the Great Northwest. I actually met him at the edge of a forest - where a gathering of dancing energy healers, eccentric thinkers, connecting artists, and modern shamans met to evolve together, transmute, and dance through their dharma as one.

Healing is becoming someone that your past can no longer control.”“Your willpower is a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it is.”“I don't believe everyone has to die to find their true self.”“Empathy without standards creates weak adults.”“Staying hard is the quickest way to never change.”“The true you is the witness behind it all.”“We're all just trying to pick different versions of ourselves up because we're all a little piece of the puzzle.”“If you have a dream or a higher calling, just fucking chase it. Nobody's going to pursue your passions like you are.”“Everything in my life needs to change, because everything in my life up to this point led me to this moment.”“My purpose now is to offer the same perspectives I went through so people don't have to reach the same levels of rock bottom.”“Identity is your subconscious beliefs on who you are. You have to surround yourself with people who believe in the identity you believe in.”“We come down here and everyone gets amnesia. The beauty of life is discovering life itself.”Trey Jones turned: - a decade in Tennessee prisons - a fentanyl overdose that put him out for 18 minutes - and living in victim mindsetinto a complete life reset.Follow him hereInsta - @prisontopurpose444subscribe to stay up to date

In this inspiring strength training transformation story, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Coach Mac McGregor and his longtime client, Gillespie Ferguson, to explore one of the most powerful journeys ever shared on Beast Over Burden. Once a self-described "unathletic" late starter plagued by chronic pain, self-doubt, and years of setbacks, Gillespie rebuilt not just his lifts but his entire understanding of what he was capable of. Through patient coaching, persistent work, and a deep friendship formed through the process, he transformed from a hesitant beginner into a confident, physically capable Coast Guard volunteer on the Isle of Skye. In this candid conversation, Mac and Gillespie walk through the early struggles of pain and insecurity, the slow technical rebuild of every lift, the psychological work of staying committed through setbacks, and the surprising breakthrough that came years into training. They also share the dramatic impact of Lyme disease, the process of starting over from scratch, and why knowing how to train is the ultimate form of resilience. This episode is a reminder that strength is not reserved for the gifted—it's for anyone willing to start, struggle, and keep showing up. Whether you're a beginner, someone returning from pain, a coach working with complex clients, or simply someone who needs to hear that transformation is possible at any age, this is an episode you don't want to miss. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Gillespie went from chronic pain and self-doubt to the strongest he's ever been Why rebuilding technique can feel slow—but changes everything The role of psychology, confidence, and patience in long-term coaching How Coach Mac used experimentation and customization to solve persistent pain What to do when progress stalls (sometimes for months at a time) The breakthrough moment when strength finally "clicked" How improved nutrition and mindset accelerated transformation The surprising impact of Lyme disease—and how to start over the right way Why strength training skills stay with you for life How training helped Gillespie earn a place in the Coast Guard Why this strength training transformation story is so powerful for late starters Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Meet Mac & Gillespie 02:25 – Gillespie's beginnings: not athletic, not confident, but willing 07:40 – Early training attempts & meeting the first lifters who inspired him 11:10 – Working with Carl Schutt & the challenges that carried into lockdown 15:55 – The first in-person session with Mac & rebuilding from scratch 21:30 – Psychology of pain, fear, and believing you're "not built for strength" 26:05 – The slow technical fix: empty bar squats, 40-kg deadlifts, constant troubleshooting 30:20 – When progress finally took off: nutrition, confidence, and consistency 35:42 – Hitting big PRs: 187.5 kg deadlift, 140 kg squat, and more 39:55 – Disaster strikes: the onset of Lyme disease 43:20 – Starting over with a fresh LP after treatment 47:00 – Becoming Coast Guard–ready: strength meets service 50:25 – What Gillespie wishes he could tell his younger self 54:10 – Mac and Gillespie reflect on friendship, persistence, and purpose 58:00 – Final thoughts & how coaching changes lives PS: Get early access to Black Friday Sales > https://bit.ly/3LmWhx2 - Save 50% on Online Coaching and Nutrition - Save up to 50% on the Barbell Academy - Gift Strength and get a bonus month Connect with the hosts Niki on Instagram Andrew on Instagram Connect with the show Barbell Logic on Instagram Podcast Webpage Barbell Logic on Facebook Or email podcast@barbell-logic.com

This week on the Evolve to Succeed Podcast, Warren is joined by Rachel Williams, founder of Zest Lifestyle, wellbeing coach, and passionate advocate for preventative health. Rachel's story is remarkable - 25 years ago she was overweight, smoking 40 cigarettes a day, drinking heavily, and burnt out from her high-pressure corporate career. Then one morning in a Barcelona hotel, she had her “OMG moment” and decided to change everything. Since then, Rachel has not only rebuilt her own life but has dedicated the last two decades to helping others do the same. In this conversation, she shares the five pillars of wellness -sleep, eat, move, think, and pause - and explains how small, consistent changes can have a profound impact on your health and longevity. We also dive into the dangers of ultra-processed food, the rise of burnout, and how businesses can create cultures of wellbeing that benefit both people and performance.

When Dr. Nouran Abdelkader developed vitiligo—a disfiguring autoimmune skin condition—the UK's top dermatologist told her there was no hope and no treatment. The disease would spread everywhere, he said. She'd have to live with it forever.What happened next challenges everything we think we know about autoimmune disease, nutrition, and healing.This emergency medicine doctor didn't just heal her vitiligo. She also resolved her lifelong asthma, eczema, chronic hives, ADHD symptoms, depression, panic attacks, and brain fog. Her IQ jumped from 110 to 137. Her diabetic sister reduced insulin from 70 units to 7 units daily.The solution? She eliminated everything except meat, salt, and water.Dr. Abdelkader shares her controversial journey from believing every medical guideline to questioning the entire system. She explains why she now feels guilty prescribing standard treatments, how she risks her medical license by sharing her experience, and why she believes most medical research serves profit over patients.This isn't just another diet success story. It's a practicing physician's firsthand account of how the medical establishment fails patients with chronic disease—and what actually works when conventional medicine doesn't.Her transformation raises uncomfortable questions: If meat heals while fruits and vegetables inflame, what else have we gotten wrong? Why can't doctors share successful treatments that contradict guidelines? And how many people are suffering needlessly because the system won't acknowledge inconvenient truths?BIG IDEA"We are made of meat, water, salt and trace elements—so if you eat what you are made of, you'll be fine, but if you eat something we're not made of, like vegetables or sugar, problems arise."Nouran Abdelkader - Contact InfoLinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nouran-el-dali-528a26b8Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
