Cindy EllPresident and Founder, Fire Fighter Cancer FoundationCindy Ell is a retired firefighter/Critical Care Paramedic originally from Anne Arundel County MD, with a background in emergency communications, critical care and labor advocacy. After a cancer cluster occurred among the firefighters she served with in Maryland, Cindy began researching and tracking firefighter cancer in 1990. As a result of her findings, The Fire Fighter Cancer Foundation was launched in 2004.Unfortunately, Cindy did not miss the bullet. Cancer struck her as well in 2005; she was reminded of the importance of a strong support system and the value of an organization providing timely resources and guidance. As men and women in areas of firefighting have a tendency to isolate themselves when they become ill, she set out to change that mindset and bring people together. Her early efforts resulted in a strong collaboration of peers who provide their stricken member with anything from teaching advocacy, tangible resources, trips to doctor's offices, behavioral support to the family and more.Since that time, the work of Cindy and the dedicated members of the FFCF has led to establishment of a multitude of programs, resources and research that have impacted the lives of firefighters and family members around the world.Recognized for her ability to break down barriers associated with firefighter cancer, Cindy is a much sought-after keynote speaker and has participated in many national forums, summits and conferences, creating awareness and advocacy for the firefighter community. In 2014, she was presented with the U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award for her outstanding work during the San Francisco – Los Angeles Firefighter Cancer Awareness Ride surrounded by firefighters from all over the United States.Presently, the organization continues its work to extinguish cancer in firefighters throughout the world. Functioning as a “Consumer affairs” resource for fact-checking industry products and processes, The FFCF continues to build momentum and awareness across science, medicine and academia with a focus on #TechSavesLives.PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PODCAST BY TAKING A LOOK AT OUR SPONSORSThrottle & Thrive First Responder Addiction Recovery: https://throttleandthrive.com/MyPodcast.Media: https://MyPodcast.MediaEPISODE LINKS:https://www.ffcancer.orgPODCAST WEBSITE:https://burntoutpodcast.orgBURNT OUT CREW:Host: Skip OMental Health Minute: Melissa HSunday Support Zoom Meeting Facilitator: Jeff DBonus Episode Host: Capt.

Kent Wellington has a diverse practice with an emphasis in litigation and labor/employment law, and advising start-ups, having run his own family foundation for the past 16 years. Kent has tried cases to favorable jury verdicts in all the local state and federal courts, but prides himself on avoiding litigation and getting cases resolved quickly and cost effectively. Kent is a former member of the Firm's Executive Committee, past chair of the Litigation Group, and currently serves as Cincinnati Market Leader. Professionally, he is most proud of the strong client relationships and client friendships he has developed over the years. Kent was described by the GM/CEO of one large publicly traded client as follows: “What has always impressed me about Kent is his emotional intelligence. He exudes a great deal of confidence and he is aggressive in his pursuit of any issue, yet he is compassionate and caring in the process. He is able to make all kinds of people feel very comfortable around him.” Based on client comments like this and the grading and comments of his peers, Kent is recognized with an AV Rating, the highest rating given to lawyers by Martindale-Hubbell. Since 2005, Kent has been recognized every year as a “Super Lawyer” (or “Rising Star”). Only 2.5 percent of Ohio lawyers receive this honor. In 2004, the Cincinnati “Business Courier” named Kent (along with his late wife, Karen) two of Cincinnati's top “Forty under 40.” Kent also has received awards from the American (1997), Ohio (2000) and Cincinnati (2008) Bar Associations, The Ohio State University College of Law (2001), the Cincinnatus Society (2002), the Cincinnati Park Board (2015). Kent has two primary passions outside of work: mentoring vulnerable kids (for the past 30 years) and putting some FUN on the calendars of families LIVING with cancer (for the past 16 years). The leader of our Bricker Graydon on Main Office, Kent also spends a significant amount of time in our downtown OTR neighborhood through Saturday Hoops, Dribblethon, CYC mentoring, and other not-for-profit, entrepreneurial, and faith-based groups. On September 26, 2006, President George W. Bush presented Kent with the President's Volunteer Service Award. Kent also received leadership and advocacy awards in 2004 from both The Arc-Hamilton County (MR/DD) and W.E.B. DuBois Academy (OTR), from St. Aloysius Orphanage (in 2011), the “Linda K. Heines Award of Inspiration and Hope” (with his two children) from the Breast Cancer Alliance in 2013, and the "Clement L. Buenger Award for Leadership" from the United Way in 2018. Kent is also a graduate of the United Way BOLD program, the Cincinnati Academy of Leadership for Lawyers (“CALL), and Leadership Cincinnati (Class 39), and gave the keynote address at Beechacres Parenting Center's 170th anniversary (in 2019) and a TedX talk in 2020. Several years ago, Kent relocated to Covington, KY with his wife Alexia, and his son Robby and daughter Angeline live nearby. Kent also enjoys biking, running, swimming and coaching basketball. He has competed in triathlons since the early 1990's, including three Escape from Alcatraz triathlons and several 1/2 Ironman's.

In the face of it, Bob may seem like an odd choice to write a book about what front-line healthcare workers experienced during COVID and its long-lasting effects on their mental health. He's not a doctor, or a nurse, or even a hospital administrator. But when it comes to post-traumatic stress, he knows of what he speaks. In the 1970s, as a young New Jersey state trooper, Delaney developed the condition after spending three years working undercover infiltrating the Mafia. He learned firsthand about the disruptive, potentially long-term impact traumatic events have on one's well-being and the need to be cognizant of the enormous levels of stress many of us experience. The recipient of President Barack Obama's Volunteer Service Award for his post-traumatic stress education work with the military, he has devoted his life to raising awareness about PTS. That's why he felt motivated to investigate and write about the emotional turmoil he knew was taking place during the height of pandemic. Heroes are Human is comprised of stories told by frontline health-care workers, their family members, and those in their care. Delaney has many of the people in the book share their story.

Join us for one of the most baffling and jaw dropping interviews yet, as Michael addresses the war on children in America: fentanyl. Moms and dads better be watching their YOUNG children as the open border, the vape industry and social media are preying on young kids, dragging them into little known addictive substances. Michael is a wealth of information that will open the eyes of every parent and in turn, help parents fight for their kids with knowledge and ferociousness! Michael is the founder of Steered Straight, Inc. A non-profit organization formed in 2007 designed with the intention of carrying a prevention message to youth and young adults regarding the extreme dangers of adolescent drug and alcohol use, bullying, and unhealthy life-choices. He is also a national speaker on the prevention of gang-involvement and criminal activity. Michael spends his time developing Steered Straight by stressing the importance of young men and women making sound, rational decisions in their day to day lives. Michael founded the Project Pride Program while incarcerated in prison and worked in the original Scared Straight program as well. He founded Steered Straight upon his release and it remains the top booked school and youth prevention presentation program in America. Michael has spoken to over twelve million students and young adults as a motivational speaker, delivering evidence-based student programs in all 50 states in America. In 2014, Michael became the #1 booked school presenter in America speaking at over 400 schools and facilities.

When you shift your mindset from lack to abundance, your reality will be transformed as well. Our thoughts create our words, our words create our reality. How we speak, think and receive people shapes how our world can be. It's deeply ingrained in non-profit workers that doing good work has to take a toll on the worker, that they need to treat themselves less in order to serve the “greater good”. The truth is - that kind of thinking is out of alignment from the purpose and is greatly unsustainable.  “Just because somebody is in a non-profit doesn't mean that they should make less… there has to be a shift in the mindset in regard to that” - Kathy Lambert Reach out to Kathy Lambert at:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kblimpactpartnersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathy-lambert-kblimpactpartners/Website: https://kblimpactpartners.com/ Be more confident, credible & convincing to your board & supporters without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.Learn to manage your mindset, lead yourself and others more effectively and have the meaningful conversations that drive your most important work. Get your free starter kit today at  www.theinfluentialnonprofit.com

Our guests today are Power Couple -John David Snyder & Niki Shadrow Snyder Bio John and Niki Snyder are a husband and wife team. They are the co-founders of the Project Pop Drop Foundation. Niki is the Life & Style Editor for Hollywood Weekly Magazine. John is the president of Platinum International Products and Services, an office supply company that sponsors Project Pop Drop monthly — for which they were recently honored by the White House with a gold medal and The President's Volunteer Service Award. The couple has always had a passion for philanthropy and recently partnered with the Oprah Winfrey Network show, "Give", which features nonprofits. They are grateful to have the opportunity to be giving while making a living and empowering others to do the same. It brings joy to their life that a product they sell every day is helping to fight hunger. The pair believes in the Project Pop Drop motto: Give and Receive. As such, they created a new movement of new influencers called ‘Givefluencers'! They co-created The Givefleuncer Network. Becoming a Givefluencer is a state of mind achieved by the understanding that all human beings are connected. Giving must be a concept that is woven into the fabric of people's businesses and lives. They created a system (The Social Responsibility System) to help Givefluencers hold themselves accountable to give back. They have been featured in print and on-air. They continue to redefine what it means to be an influencer and spread their mission that everyone is capable of being a #Givefluencer Connect with Niki Shadrow Snyder & John David Snyder INSTAGRAM @projectpopdrop @nikishadrowsnyder @mrjohndavidsnyder FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/niki.shadrowsnyder/ https://www.facebook.com/john.snyder.9277 https://www.facebook.com/PlatinumInt https://www.facebook.com/laprojectpopdrop LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikishadrow/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-snyder-b79a2116/ DO THIS RIGHT NOW

This episode of The Jake Dunlap Show features Neil Sahota, a professional speaker, lecturer at the University of California, and Chief Innovation Officer at the UC Irvine School of Law, and Master Inventor.An openness to learning, troubleshooting problems, and continuously growing are just some of the values that Neil's story offers. This is evident in the incredible wealth of experience he has gained studying and working in a diverse array of fields and industries.  For Neil, money is not the not goal. He has always explored the opportunities around him and did not close doors simply because they seemed too different from his current track. Quite the opposite, he always sought the path of most resistance because it offered a challenge to learn important lessons in his diverse field of interests.Many of Neil's successes started out as accidents. But true to his nature, he would take moments like this, turn them around, use them as opportunities for incredible growth. This would thrust him into the world of AI where he would gain immense success and earn the title of Master Inventor, a fitting name for a man who is always looking forward.The value of giving back is also a core part of Neil's identity. This was ingrained in him since he was a child and translates directly to his volunteer work as a mentor to several organizations. His passion for working in the United Nations is also tied directly to creating an impact that matters in education and healthcare.Listen to the full podcast on Neil's journey of turning accidents into opportunities, finding fundamental satisfaction in work, and volunteering for community development.QUOTES:29:46 "I've learned that the experience and skills you can gain are actually probably more important (than money). And sometimes that means even taking a step backwards... to actually get that under your belt."30:03 "I was never about the title. I wasn't quite about the paycheck... I managed to escape school without much debt and I don't live an opulent lifestyle. So I was very much able to focus on the rewards of a job rather than just the paycheck itself."37:19 "Honestly, I think it's because in my life I've always kind of sought the path of most resistance because I felt that's actually a great way to learn and add value."37:55 "I wasn't content with the status quo. I'm not saying things are bad, but you can always improve things. And so I was always kind of looking for that value add change."39:49 "If you keep looking for differences, you're not going to have a good experience. And unfortunately a lot of people, they didn't have a good experience."53:22 "You always try to help your community or your neighborhood, right? You don't help them to help yourself, you help them so they can help other people."More about NeilNeil is an incredibly brilliant man who wears several hats, most notably as an innovator and mentor whose goals include changing the educational and healthcare landscape for the better. He helps the United Nations create AI for the Global Good ecosystem, speaks publicly to help others overcome fears of public speaking and writing, works with Fortune 500 companies create products for nascent markets and industries.Neil also spends a lot of his time today helping organizations disrupt themselves before others disrupt them.  Neil is an IBM Master Inventor and patented more than 18 technologies. He is a seasoned author who creates content on diverse topics that impact the world, including AI, innovation, law, climate change, diversity, and inclusion, just to name a few.  He has won dozens of awards including the President's Volunteer Service Award and the Outstanding Achievement in Artificial Intelligence, which speak to his expertise and altruistic nature at the same time.Find out more about Neil and connect with him in the following links:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilsahota/Learn more about Jake Dunlap and Skaled by visiting the links below:Jake Dunlap:Personal Site - http://jakedunlap.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakedunlap/Twitter - https://twitter.com/JakeTDunlapInstagram - http://instagram.com/jake_dunlap_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JakeTDunlap/Skaled:Website - https://skaled.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/skaledYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsw_03rSlbGQkeLGMGiDf4Q

According to the Blended Future Project, even though multiracial and multiethnic identity can absolutely be a fluid and difficult road to understand, Blended Future Project would like to create a platform to initiate that understanding. To start this process, the Blended Future Project is creating a new cultural identity where multiracial and multiethnic people are understood and free to develop and collaborate their own unique culture(s). They believe this would not only benefit the growing population of multiracial and multiethnic peoples, but also adopted individuals who may not even know their racial or ethnic backgrounds, or third culture kids who have grown up in a country with a different societal culture from their parents. With this, Blended Future Project is actively uniting multiracial and multiethnic people and integrating them fluidly into the cultural communities of all other racial and ethnic groups. I had the honor of speaking with the leaders of the Blended Future Project, Maris Lidaka and Beth Chin, on June 2nd, 2021, to further discuss the hurdles of creating such a blended future and what that future may look like, as well as hearing about their own mixed-identity journeys. Beth Chin was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and was seventeen when she co-founded her first non-profit organization with her friends in high school, earning them the President's Volunteer Service Award from Barack Obama. Being  of Chinese, German, and Polish descent, her work focuses on multi-racial identity. She is the founder of the All Related Art collective in Hamburg, Germany, as well as the author of Being Mixed: A Visual Guide on Mixed  Identity. Chin is the creator of Blended Future Project, Re-Mixed – A Multicultural Festival, and is working to create more events and bring greater community in the years ahead. Maris Lidaka is the founder of The Blended Future Project. Born in Oak Park, IL, he is of African-American and Latvian heritage, and has spent the past 20 years working in the entertainment industry in a variety of capacities for large companies such as Disney, Warner Bros, AT&T and Verizon. He created The Blended Future Project to empower the experience of being multiracial and multicultural. With the ultimate goal to create a larger space for empathy and understanding.   The Nasiona Podcast amplifies the voices and experiences of the marginalized, undervalued, overlooked, silenced, and forgotten, as well as gives you a glimpse into Othered worlds.

Tonight's special guest is Rev Henry (Hank) McGrath from Caroga Lake, NY, a child abuse survivor, author, and NAASCA's Volunteer Regional Director for the North East US as a part of our Ambassador Program. He has started a NAASCA support networking group in NY. Hank began life in a poor 2nd-generation Irish family with 4 siblings in NY. Both parents were alcoholics and his mother likely had bipolar/schizophrenia. Hank was targeted with extreme and horrific tortures never knowing why he was singled out. By age 9, he was forced door-to-door asking, "My mother said we are too poor to take care of me. Can I live here?” By age 11 he was hustling to survive in Pittsburgh, PA with bookies, pimps, and prostitutes. It was dangerous for a child alone, and Hank carried trauma from it his whole life including abuse he endured while in the juvenile detention system. His adult life began with crimes, prison, and frequently moving between states. However, after decades of hard living and a few near-death situations, he began facing his childhood trauma and by the 90's was happily married. When his beloved wife died from cancer in 2001 Hank promised her to fight for others on the issues of child abuse. Since then, he has worked with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as a court advocate for youth, and even received the President's Volunteer Service Award and Points of Light Award. Today, Hank is a minister and is very active in his community including as the Director of 'Focus on Fathers' and 'Neighborhoods Against Drugs', as a Red Cross Disaster Trainer, and an investigative reporter and host for "Voice of the People-FreedomRadio.”
