What do discipline, delayed gratification, and a few well-worn undershirts have to do with success? This week on Payne Points of Wealth, Ryan and Chris Payne sit down with Todd Piro, co-host of FOX & Friends First, for a real conversation about his journey growing up in New Jersey to national television. Todd shares how his upbringing shaped his mindset around money and life, growing up in a household that valued function over flash. His parents instilled a simple but powerful philosophy: buy things for a purpose, not for appearances. It's a mindset Todd still lives by today (yes, right down to hanging onto the same undershirts for years). But Todd's perspective goes beyond money. He reflects on one of his core beliefs: treating everyone equally, regardless of title or position. Whether it's someone behind the scenes or at the top of the organization, Todd credits this approach as a guiding principle in both his career and personal life. The conversation traces Todd's impressive path: High school valedictorian Dartmouth College Law school A leap into uncertainty as a local TV reporter in California And ultimately, landing on one of the biggest stages in media as a FOX News anchor Along the way, Ryan, Chris, and Todd dive into: How early financial habits shape long-term success The difference between looking wealthy vs. building wealth The advantages of discipline and consistency Having the courage to take risks and bet on your future This episode is packed with insights on resilience, humility, and staying grounded, even when your career takes off! If you've ever wondered what it really takes to go from ordinary beginnings to extraordinary success, without losing your values, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

In this episode of the Rural Roots Canada podcast, brought to you by Kubota Canada, hosts Tim Parent and Craig Lester focus on two stories shaping the future of agriculture, one about what we're losing and one about where we're gaining. First, a developing story with real impact across southern Alberta: the closure of the Nortera plant in Lethbridge, which has sent shockwaves through the ag and food processing sectors. We'll hear from the Alberta Food Processors Association on what this means for jobs, farmers, and food production in the province. Then, Craig speaks to Paul Skretting (, an agronomy student at Lethbridge Polytechnic who has been named valedictorian for the Spring 2026 Convocation class. The two discuss being awarded the honour and how his agronomy studies have helped prepare him for a future in ag. From the uncertainty of now to the promise of a bright future - all on this week's RRC podcast. For more on Kubota Canada's Haymaking Tools go to:https://www.kubota.ca/products/hay-tools

Today, Aaron, Mike, and special guest Maria Baer celebrate a massive Supreme Court victory for the First Amendment and biblical truth. With their 8-1 ruling in favor of therapist Kaley Chiles, the Court struck a blow against the Left’s 15-year crusade to ban so-called "conversion therapy" and muzzle Christian counselors. Listen to this episode of The Narrative to hear how the radical lobby uses state power to embrace evil and alienate children from reality and truth. After the news, Heritage Foundation Policy Analyst Emma Waters joins the hosts to shatter the modern "girl boss" and "tradwife" delusions with her new book, Lead Like Jael. Emma breaks down how the biblical story of Jael provides a new blueprint for women to cultivate uniquely feminine virtues like shrewdness and discernment in a culture that treats womanhood and motherhood as liabilities. From exposing the "toxic empathy" of the radical Left to calling out the Church’s own failure to articulate the goodness of marriage, Emma shares how a productive, Christ-centered home is the ultimate weapon against an enemy that always attacks the family first.

Send a textA big welcome to our new host, Stephanie D'Souza! In this episode, Stephanie shares what she learned reading applications inside multiple admissions offices, including Duke University. She explains why highly selective decisions hinge on mission fit, real impact, and character, not just perfect grades and “checking the boxes.” • Stephanie's admissions background across research universities, junior college, and a highly selective office • What admitted students show beyond stats: mission alignment, impact, authenticity • The academic baseline and how readers evaluate rigor by high school context and the school profile • Building extracurricular depth, initiative, and community impact instead of stacking activities • “Fit to major” and ways to prove academic curiosity through classes, research, and credible exploration • Helping undecided students find authentic interests by tracking what they choose in free time • Why pay-to-play summer programs do not move the needle and when they can still be useful • How character shows up in recommendations, including why “the B class” can reveal grit • Essays as a “whisper in the ear” that adds reflection and voice beyond the activity list • Test optional reality, when strong scores help, and when not to submit • Institutional priorities that students cannot control and how to interpret confusing outcomes If today's episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this podcast with someone who needs study guidance right now.

From Valedictorian to Pediatrics: The Lori Mitchell-Evans Story

From Valedictorian to Pediatrics: The Lori Mitchell-Evans Story

Sue was the Valedictorian -- so there is no excuse for what just happened on the air.

Being the valedictorian of your graduating class is easy. All you have to do is spend every waking moment from age 5 onward studying, get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, be president of every school club, and be best friends with everyone in your class. Oh, and just to lock it in you should set a trap for your rival on the day of the big test. This week on the podcast Theo and Will explore new menu options for optimizing your dining experience and discuss new bacon flavored cereal. Will has a story of the filthiest pope in history, and then they hear the tale of how a tub of mayonnaise married two real life people.

Full Show Notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/nicknorwitz In this episode with Dr. Nick Norwitz, you’ll get to discover how a Harvard-trained MD/PhD used a simple, eyebrow-raising experiment with Oreos to challenge conventional thinking on cholesterol, metabolism, and the stories told about health. We dive into his now-viral “Oreo experiment,” where adding Oreos to a ketogenic diet dropped his LDL cholesterol faster and more effectively than a high-intensity statin—an unexpected outcome that opens the door to deeper questions about lipid markers, risk factors, and how the body actually processes dietary fats. Nick Norwitz MD PhD is a researcher-educator whose mission is to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” He graduated Valedictorian from Dartmouth College, majoring in Cell Biology and Biochemistry, before completing his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford and his MD at Harvard Medical School. Nick has made a name for himself as a clinical research and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on topics ranging from brain health, the microbiome, mental health, muscle physiology, mitochondrial function, cholesterol and lipids, and so on.

What do you do when your whole identity revolves around academic performance? Well, for Ava Ward, it wasn't good. The stress to perform at top level caused anxiety, even panic attacks. After a particularly dark freshman year of high school, Ava came to the realization that her obsession with good grades had become an idol. At Bear Lake Camp, she realized she had a divided heart and her idolatry was supplanting faith in Christ. She did an about face, changed schools, changed her mindset, even changed her career path to studying the Bible and art, things a smart person just doesn't do! It all comes to a head when Ava forgoes her graduation speech as valedictorian, fruit of a new heart.See what happens when Ava gives her burden of perfection to the Lord, gets an undivided heart, and pursues Jesus full on as a biblical studies major at Wheaton College  This episode would be encouraging for those battling anxiety or perfectionist tendencies, showing them steps to freedom in Christ.  Helpful Links:The Bible ProjectBear Lake CampWheaton CollegeWheaton College Biblical and Theological Studies majorThe Humble Skeptic PodcastEcclesiastes 1:14Psalm 861 Peter 4:11OneWayOneWay Internship Program (it's awesome)Let us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

I am thrilled to reconnect with Nick Norwitz today. Nick is a researcher and educator with a mission to make metabolic health a mainstream concern. He graduated valedictorian from Dartmouth College, completed his PhD in metabolism at the University of Oxford, and earned his MD at Harvard Medical School. He has become known as a clinical researcher and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on various topics, including brain health, microbiome, mitochondrial function, cholesterol, and more.  In our conversation, we discuss the challenges of providing evidence-based medicine, and Nick shares his personal story of overcoming inflammatory bowel disease with a ketogenic diet. We explore the research on statins reducing endogenous GLP-1 production, highlighting the importance of staying curious. We also clarify the different types of type 2 diabetes, the effects of biomolecular aging, and different perspectives on Lp(a).  Nick always provides thoughtful and valuable insights on a range of topics. His Substack is one of my favorites, sharing several ways to enhance your learning process, as a clinician or a layperson. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How his struggle with inflammatory bowel disease led Nick to realize that the evidence-based care of western medicine is not always the best type of care, and how a ketogenic diet saved his life How a recent study highlighted several major physical issues statins cause, yet it went largely unnoticed in medicine and the media The need for clinicians to inform their patients about the potential side effects of their medications How physicians tend to ignore evidence in favor of one-sided messaging that erodes trust and undermines informed care The importance of remaining curious and acknowledging that what you learned initially might be incorrect How technological advances will make personalized medicine the future of healthcare The limitations of traditional one-size-fits-all randomized controlled trials The sub-phenotypes of type 2 diabetes How enzyme inhibitors (like statins) disrupt the gut microbiome How metabolic health and oxidative stress affect Lp(a), and how vitamin C can potentially reduce its impact Bio: Nick Norwitz Nick Norwitz, MD, PhD, is a researcher-educator whose mission is to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” He graduated Valedictorian from Dartmouth College, majoring in Cell Biology and Biochemistry, before completing his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford and his MD at Harvard Medical School.  Nick has made a name for himself as a clinical research and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on topics ranging from brain health, the microbiome, and mental health to muscle physiology, mitochondrial function, and cholesterol and lipids.

This week, host Laura Key sits down with her co-worker Dr. Ann Bennett, who leads applied research and evaluation at Understood.org. Ann shares her own autism and ADHD diagnosis story — one that didn't unfold until the end of her PhD program.Ann was valedictorian of her high school. She also had a disciplinary record. She'd get bored and sometimes fall asleep in class because she'd already taught herself the material. First diagnosed with autism and later with ADHD, Ann reflects on what those labels helped her understand about herself and her brain.She also shares findings from our recent “Women With ADHD: The Power of Podcasts” study, where she surveyed and interviewed women who listen to Understood podcasts — including ADHD Aha! Along the way, Ann found herself having her own “aha” moments.For more on this topic: Women with ADHD: The power of podcastsWhat is AuDHD?ADHD and womenTimestamps:  (00:00) Intro(02:08) Growing up undiagnosed (06:13) Being diagnosed with autism and ADHD during her PhD(11:07) Meeting her husband, and unmasking for the first time(13:28) Sharing her story more with others(14:19) “Women With ADHD: The Power of Podcasts” study Ann conducted on Understood.org podcasts(23:44) Specific statistics from the study(32:00) Outro and creditsFor a transcript and more resources, visit ADHD Aha! on Understood.org.

Elliot's career as a writer began with a colorful story about a Green Lantern comic that he wrote for a history class at Brandeis University, from which he graduated as the class Valedictorian, despite only getting a B+ on his comic book paper! The first comic spawned 15 more years of writing comics for DC, mostly Superman, making him a cultural icon for millions of young people who eagerly anticipated the next issue each month. Those 15 years were capped off with two best-selling "Superman" novels written with his own storyline but timed for release by DC in conjunction with the first two Superman movies. Between those novels he made a move to New Hampshire, taught at Waterville Academy, bought a home, bought a horse; adopted a dog and ran for Congress, among other things. When the campaign was over he went back to writing and has never stopped.

Calvin Scheller wears a lot of hats.

Calvin shares how he went against the expectations that teachers, parents and friends had for him when he graduated as his class Valedictorian. Turning down Ivy League schools, Calvin went down a path that nobody saw coming.Use my code: EYESAC for 15% off your entire order @ www.mountaineerbrand.comUse same code: EYESAC for 10% off your order @ www.scentsbyyaya.comThank you so much for listening!Leave a review and let me know what you think.

His high school's officials crossed out the name of Jesus Christ in his valedictorian speech, but eighteen-year-old Justin Aguilar was brave enough to put it back in, standing alone in his decision to face whatever consequences may arise. Justin would not be deterred from praising his Savior. That defiance won him the attention and admiration of President Donald Trump, who invited Aguilar to tell his story alongside the Religious Liberty Commission members at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., this past September. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Justin tells the story of how he knew that this was a defining moment in his life. It is for such a time as this that real faith is strengthened, and weak faith is exposed. Justin Aguilar is part of the Charlie Kirk legacy; defying a woke culture that has cowered under the secular juggernaut of separation of Church and State, but no more!

This week Steve and Yvonne interview Jordan Strokovsky of Strokovsky LLC (https://actionafterinjury.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review   View/Download Trial Documents   Case Details: Jordan won his client a $30 million recovery against Temple University Hospital in one of the largest medical malpractice cases in Pennsylvania's history. Despite the hospital's denial of wrongdoing, Jordan refused their offer of $3 million and prepared tirelessly for court to ensure a just outcome for his client. The hospital admitted fault and the jury awarded $25.9M to Jordan's Mr. Parks ($6M for future medical costs and $20M for pain and suffering) after a comprehensive investigation and a hard-fought trial. The hospital hired three law firms in an attempt to overturn the verdict and offered a settlement less than the awarded amount. Jordan's client refused to settle, and Jordan won every argument against the big firms. The court refused the hospital's request to reduce the verdict, and $3.7 million in delay damages were added. The total recovery now exceeds $30 million, including over $600,000 in interest. No appeal was filed.   Guest Bio: Jordan Strokovsky Jordan Strokovsky is a trial lawyer serving the catastrophically injured in a diverse range of cases, including medical malpractice, birth injury, truck accidents, fires, explosions, plane crashes, premises liability, product liability, workplace injuries, toxic torts, civil rights, car accidents, and sexual assault.  His hard work ethic, integrity, and compassion earn him the trust of his clients and the respect of his opponents. These attributes have also helped him obtain significant verdicts and settlements. For good reason, many lawyers refer or seek to co-counsel their serious injury and wrongful death cases with Jordan. Jordan handles countless catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases and routinely handles cases pro bono to help his community. His volunteer work includes taking a civil rights case to verdict with the Volunteer Attorney Panel of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, representing victims of sexual abuse with the Support Center for Child Advocates, and successfully handling various cases from Philadelphia VIP. He has been recognized by the court for his service and was a featured volunteer by Philadelphia VIP. As an animal lover and dog owner, Jordan has also championed animal rights causes, helping establish that pets should not be viewed as property under the law. He also serves on the Pennsylvania Association for Justice Board of Directors and has previously served on boards for non-profits that help animals, homeless people, and refugees. Jordan is the former co-chair of the State Civil Litigation Section of the Philadelphia Bar Association and was proud to help implement town halls at the start of the pandemic, which allowed the court and legal community to communicate during those uncertain times. He now co-chairs both the Civil Rules and Wellness Committees at the bar association. Jordan has served as an adjunct law school professor and occasionally speaks at seminars to other personal injury lawyers.  He is also regularly asked by news outlets to provide legal commentary. Jordan graduated from Widener University Delaware Law School as Valedictorian of his class, where several of his professors would comment that his academic performance and mind for the law were among the most impressive they had ever seen. While in school, he interned with three Philadelphia judges: the Honorable M. Faith Angell (E.D. Pa), the Honorable Arnold L. New (Common Pleas), and the Honorable Paul P. Panepinto (Common Pleas) and used these internships as opportunities to get in the courtroom and watch many trials. He was also a member of the Law Review. After his commencement speech at graduation, the Governor of Delaware declared that he would never want to follow Jordan in speaking again. While practicing law full-time, Jordan obtained a Master of Law in Trial Advocacy at the nationally renowned Temple University Beasley School of Law LL.M. Program in the Spring of 2018, where he received special recognition from the faculty for his trial performances and was a jury favorite—earning the highest scores from the jury at his showcase trial.
