One of the biggest challenges we face when we come up with an idea is taking it to the execution phase. We generally spend so much time planning, analyzing, asking for advice and opinions from multiple people, that we sometimes miss the opportunities that are right in front of us. And yes, some of the preparation is required and encouraged, but it’s time to realize that sometimes we’re overthinking everything and that there is something we can do about it. Today, I have the distinct pleasure of having Carolyn Cushman DeSena as my guest, who’s the epitome of one of the features of a true orange – a contributor to others’ success. We dive deep into how she took all the tools she learned from crushing it on Wall Street and brought them to the charitable world and she shares with us her journey to realizing that the Universe is always working in our favor – we just have to be able to recognize the opportunities that it puts in front of us. Carolyn is the founder of WEforum, a female-led organization devoted to raising community awareness on how to live a healthy lifestyle and raising money for free educational health and wellness programs and services that are accessible to everyone in the community. Some of her programs include the Health and Wellness Conference, The Curious Gardener Summer Camp, Wise Up: Teen Advocacy Group, Fit Crawl, Step Up: Advocates Changing Tomorrow, and many, many more. Listen to Episode 22 and learn how you can seize every opportunity that you’re presented with and create for yourself the life that you’ve always wanted. Some questions I ask:Tell us a bit about your background and how did you get to have a passion for health? (03:31)How did you become ‘The Crusher’? (11:09)What was the pivotal moment when you realized that you need to pay attention to the signs from the Universe? (21:14)How do you balance your day and your life? (28:24)How do you decide what to work on and what resonates with you? (34:23)What advice do you have for people who are going through tough times right now? (39:58) In this episode you will learn:How traveling to foreign cultures contributes to one’s development. (05:35)Being willing to ask for what you want takes you to higher heights than waiting for it to happen. (13:48)The importance of realizing that the Universe is working in your favor & getting in the habit of spotting the opportunities that are right in front of us. (19:41)A beautiful advice Carolyn received from her defunct husband & the importance of finding your passion in life. (30:11)Why Carolyn loves to work. (32:11)How WEforum came to be. (36:38)The importance of listening to your gut and taking action on your ideas sooner rather than later.

This week’s show is all about inflammation. What is it? What role does it play in gut health, cancer, heart disease, and other chronic conditions? What can we do to keep inflammation at bay? And what role does diet play in both causing it and preventing it? My guest is Carolyn Williams, PhD, RD, author of one of my favorite new cookbooks, Meals that Heal: 100+ Everyday Anti-Inflammatory Recipes in 30 Minutes or Less. This episode may change the way you eat forever! Carolyn Williams, Ph.

She teaches culinary arts and nutrition classes at a local college, where she is a tenured faculty member. She lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with her two children.

Our guest for this week's installment of The Long View podcast sits at the busy intersection of healthcare and financial planning. Carolyn McClanahan was a practicing physician for a number of years, but after a frustrating search for a financial planner for her and her husband, she decided to study financial planning and earned the CFP designation. In 2004, she founded financial planning firm Life Planning Partners, and serves as the firm's director of financial planning. She also co-founded Whealthcare, a software program that identifies and troubleshoots age-related financial risks. Carolyn strongly believes that individuals and financial advisors should think proactively about the implications of aging for healthcare and financial planning. She is also sought-after as a public speaker and a media expert on matters of aging, healthcare, and personal finances. Show Notes The quest for real advice: How a "math nerd" found her way to medicine and eventually sought financial advice (1:12-3:32) Frustrated: How disappointing experiences with financial advisors spurred Carolyn to pursue a career in financial planning (3:33-4:56) "It worked beautifully": Why Carolyn decided to charge flat fees for her planning services instead of taking a percentage of client's assets (4:57-6:50) "It's a lot harder": Carolyn explains why the flat-fee model isn't more commonplace, how they determine the right fee for each client, and why it makes economic sense (6:51-8:44) An "ensemble model": How Carolyn built her practice and how she hones her focus (8:45-13:01) A piece, not the whole pie: The role investments play in a client's financial plan (and how to avoid expectation gaps) (13:02-14:43) The healthcare spending conundrum: "We spend so much money on end-stage healthcare that really doesn't help anybody." (14:44-17:39) Heal thyself: "We're going to start seeing lawsuits from employees…about employers not being good purchasers of (health) insurance" (17:40-19:35) Primary care as a public service: Carolyn's ideal healthcare system puts community health centers at its core (and removes primary care from insurance coverage) (19:36-22:35) How to address the big-four "aging planning" issues: When to stop driving, when to move, when to get help with financial decisions, when to get help with healthcare decisions (22:36-26:02) How to take the keys away: Addressing the issue of aging parents who shouldn't be driving anymore (26:03-28:08) Bringing the family together: "90% of fraud and abuse is done by people close to you" (28:09-30:36) "It's been a beautiful thing to use": How Carolyn employs "engagement standards" to align expectations and ensure clients commit to the plan (30:37-32:42) Cognitive decline: "A client's biggest risk to their financial security is actually themselves" (32:43-34:33) How to plan for healthcare spends: Live healthy, work as long as you can, reflect on how you use healthcare (34:34-37:52) Whealthcare: A programmatic attempt to project and plan for healthcare costs (37:53-39:02) A construct for long-term care planning: "People who are very healthy are going to have a longer long-term care need; people with dementia have an average long-term care need; if you're very unhealthy you don't have to worry about long-term care." (39:03-42:10) Paying for long-term care: Carolyn suggests setting aside a "bucket" of money to self-fund long-term care, which avoids problems with acceptance into nursing facilities and complexity of long-term care insurance (42:11-45:20) "There's more to money than just the numbers": Why hybrid long-term care insurance isn't usually a good answer, but sometimes piece of mind makes up for its opportunity costs (45:21-47:45) How to avoid cognitive decline: It's not all hereditary, so learn as much as possible and live a healthy lifestyle (47:46-50:31) Other ways to anticipate and manage cognitive decline: How a checklist helped a client determine he was suffering a series of mini-strokes (50:32-53:29) References Caroyln McLanahan bio Whealthcare National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) Employee Benefit Research Institute

Why Carolyn hates the word 'photog'The phrase "photog" has more-or-less become the professional norm to refer to photographers and photojournalists in the broadcast journalism profession. It's a demeaning term, in Carolyn's opinion -- one that devalues both the work photojournalists bring to the table and their position in the newsroom. Also, Sierra gets feedback from a talent coach, and Carolyn flies to Fairbanks to talk the importance of storytelling in the future of food systems. This episode discusses an article published in Visual Communication Quarterly, by Mary Angela Bock, Kyser Lough & Deepa Fadnis. It was published online on October 23, 2017 and can be found here.
