In this episode of The People Dividend Podcast, host Mike Horne speaks with Celeste Warren, a transformative leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). They discuss the true meaning of equity, common misconceptions, and the importance of creating equitable workplaces.

Celeste Warren's journey highlights the importance of passion in DEI work. The 'rocks and fence' framework illustrates the need for equity in overcoming barriers.

When God calls you to obey, He's not trying to take something away — He's preparing to bless you. In Episode 3 of the Obedience: The Gateway to Freedom & Fullness series, we explore the powerful truth that obedience to God always leads to blessing, alignment, and spiritual breakthrough. Many Christians struggle with obedience because it feels costly… but Scripture shows that obedience is the pathway to: ✨ God's favor ✨ supernatural clarity ✨ peace ✨ spiritual protection ✨ provision ✨ purpose ✨ and deeper intimacy with Him In this episode, you'll discover: • The 7 blessings directly connected to obedience • Why obedience aligns your life with God's timing • How obedience releases spiritual clarity and direction • Biblical examples where obedience led to miracles • How your obedience impacts your family, future, and calling • Why obedience positions you for breakthrough and fullness If you want to grow spiritually, understand God's will, and walk in your God-assigned purpose, this episode will encourage and empower you. Whether you're praying for guidance, wrestling with a big decision, or wanting to strengthen your relationship with God, Episode 3 will help you understand why obedience is one of the most powerful spiritual principles in the Christian life.

Hospitals today typically contain hundreds of storage rooms and thousands of supply bins across multiple, geographically dispersed facilities in their health system. This translates to hundreds of thousands of paper labels that need to be manually updated and printed by already overburdened staff whenever there's a change in item status, description, supplier, etc. One major impact of such antiquated methods of supply chain management is that it's impossible for the item's information to be updated in real time due to being dependent on deployable staff to travel to these sites to make the changes. Any updates on sensitive data such as back orders, recalls, or discontinued items (and indication of available substitutes) can't possibly be handled in a timely manner with paper labels. As a result, there's a much greater risk of not having on-hand the items that are needed for patient care. Electronic shelf label (ESL) solutions are a game-changer because they provide real-time item status and alerts, remote updates at the push of a button, and automated reordering. ESLs save time for both supply chain and clinical staff that would otherwise be spent on manual and low-value-added inventory tasks. They ensure item availability and safety (not recalled, not expired) and free up clinical staff to dedicate more attention and time to patients. Advanced ESL systems also have built-in replenishment signals to ensure that par levels are accurate and stockouts are prevented. They also allow for voice commands to guide the staff to needed items in crowded supply rooms in seconds using blinking LED lights on the ESL.

Most Christians don't intentionally disobey God — they simply delay. They wait for the right moment… more clarity… more confidence… or a more convenient season. But Scripture shows us something powerful and convicting: ✨ Delay is a form of disobedience. In this second episode of the Obedience series, we dive into why hesitation is spiritually dangerous and how it often delays the very breakthrough we're praying for. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why delayed obedience destroys timing ✨ How delay opens the door to fear, confusion, and distraction ✨ Why immediate obedience brings clarity ✨ Biblical examples of how obedience unlocks breakthrough ✨ Practical signs you're delaying obedience without realizing it ✨ How to step into obedience today — even if you don't feel ready If God has been prompting you to take a step, surrender something, or make a change — this episode will speak directly to your heart. Obedience is not about perfection. It's about willingness. And sometimes the next season God has for you is waiting on one simple act of obedience.

Most Christians hear the word "obedience" and think pressure, performance, or perfection. But that's not what Jesus meant at all. Obedience isn't legalism — it's love. It's not punishment — it's protection. It's not rules — it's relationship. In this first episode of our new series, we're breaking down the truth about biblical obedience and why it leads to clarity, peace, breakthrough, and spiritual freedom. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why obedience is a love response, not a fear response ✨ How obedience protects you from unnecessary pain ✨ Why your next breakthrough may be on the other side of a simple act of obedience ✨ How obedience sharpens your ability to hear God more clearly ✨ Why obedience is the first step to living in fullness Obedience is not heavy — it's liberating. Let's discover what Jesus meant when He said, "If you love Me, keep My commands." Resources:

Paul's Remarkable Career Path In this episode, Michael sits down with Paul Nadeau, whose 32-year career spans roles as a detective, international peacekeeper, and former hostage negotiator. Paul shares insights from his deployments to the Middle East during the Iraq War and his experiences in major crimes investigations. His stories reveal how studying human behavior shaped not only his career in law enforcement but also his evolution into a keynote speaker and author. The Transformative Journey of a Negotiator Paul opens up about how a difficult childhood became the catalyst for his life's mission. Joining the police force at 21, he gravitated toward cases involving sexual assault and child abuse—work that deepened his empathy and resolve. A pivotal negotiation with a suicidal man changed his path forever, leading him to become a hostage negotiator. Paul's message is one of resilience: trauma can shape growth when we choose to learn from it. Creating Safe Spaces in Crisis Michael and Paul explore how empathy and active listening can transform crisis situations. They discuss the importance of creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Michael highlights how societal change starts with individuals being willing to hold space for others—especially those feeling isolated or disconnected. Understanding and Overcoming the Hostage Effect Paul introduces the concept of the “hostage effect”—a state of mental captivity driven by fear, manipulation, and uncertainty. He draws parallels between psychological captivity and societal patterns, urging listeners to reclaim their autonomy and mental freedom. Through personal stories and lessons from his book, Paul demonstrates how awareness and personal agency can break the cycle of fear. Cultural Dialogue and Mindful Leadership The conversation broadens as Michael reflects on global challenges and the erosion of open dialogue. He shares a story from a multicultural potluck that reminded him of the beauty of diverse perspectives and collaboration. Both emphasize the need for compassion, curiosity, and respectful discussion in today's polarized world. Human Connection and Personal Freedom Paul concludes with two guiding principles: people are more alike than different, and you get what you give. He and Michael agree that human dignity, empathy, and respect must remain at the heart of leadership and community. Their dialogue reminds listeners that even amid crisis, connection and compassion are the greatest tools for freedom and peace.

Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...

Barb from Canada shares her 26-year journey with fibromyalgia, which began with chronic pain and a lengthy struggle for a diagnosis. Initially, she explored various treatments, including conventional medications like Oxycontin and alternative therapies, but found limited relief. After learning about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) from the fibromyalgia community, she sought a doctor willing to prescribe it. After changing family doctors, Barb encountered a new physician who did not believe in fibromyalgia and refused to prescribe LDN. However, through the LDN Research Trust, she found a supportive doctor who offered remote consultations. Since starting LDN in April, Barb experienced remarkable improvements in energy and quality of life within three weeks, allowing her to engage in activities she had long avoided. Her transformation has surprised both her and her family, leading others to inquire about her treatment.

Send us a textWhat does it take to rebuild a life from absolute rock bottom? Ken Miller's journey from Ivy League halls to homeless addiction to entrepreneurial success provides a masterclass in transformation, forgiveness, and finding purpose through pain.Ken recounts his extraordinary life story with unflinching honesty. Born to a teenage runaway prostitute and a drug-dealing pimp, he spent years in foster care before being adopted at age seven. Despite starting life unable to read or write, his natural intelligence propelled him to Dartmouth College. But graduation led to a 20-year spiral into addiction, homelessness, and multiple prison sentences.The turning point came in 2007 when Ken was released from prison for the third time with "no marketable skills." What followed defies expectation - within a few years, he had launched successful businesses, established himself as a speaker and author, and dedicated himself to mentoring others facing similar struggles.At the heart of Ken's transformation is his revolutionary approach to forgiveness. He articulates a powerful framework addressing three dimensions we must heal: forgiving others, forgiving God (or our spiritual beliefs), and forgiving ourselves. "Forgiveness is accepting truth," he explains, detailing how this practice liberated him from decades of resentment and self-hatred.Ken's perspective on personal development challenges conventional wisdom. Rather than pursuing greatness, he intentionally seeks "goodness," explaining how the final 3-5% of mastery might require 20 years of effort better spent helping others. This philosophy extends to his work style - maintaining a minimalist desk with just one pen and one pad - and his approach to emotional wellbeing, giving himself permission to experience occasional down days without self-judgment.Perhaps most inspiring is Ken's capacity for gratitude despite his difficult past. "How do you manifest that gratitude?" he asks, suggesting that service to others represents his answer. Through mentorship, speaking, and writing upcoming books on respect, fundraising, and mentorship, Ken demonstrates how transforming personal pain into purpose creates lasting impact on others.Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/

For many survivors, leaving isn't just about walking away—it's about risking safety, stability, and even the roof over their heads. People often ask, “Why don't they just leave?” without realizing how tangled the reality is: money, fear, kids, isolation.

Her mission is rooted in healing, justice, and self-reliance. Stay tuned! Quotes: “The experience does not define the soul; rather, the soul defines the experience.” “Oftentimes, survivors leave with nothing and are forced to rebuild their lives, but starting from scratch with nothing is a monumental task.” “Entrepreneurism, for me, was my escape—to be able to gain my independence back.” Resources: Vegan Body and Lip Care That Supports Domestic Violence Surivors | Misiones BodyCare Connect with Sola Adenekan on LinkedIn
