In this episode host Rea Hailley continues her series called "five questions and one wild story fempreneurs to watch for". In this compelling episode host Rea Hailley sits down with Nyasha Katedza, a Medical Laboratory Assistant turned "Healthpreneur" and founder of BioInsight DNA and Blood Services. Driven by the stark reality of rural healthcare, where neighbors drive hundreds of kilometers just for blood work, Nyasha is on a mission to democratize access to care for marginalized communities. Together, they peel back the curtain on the unglamorous side of entrepreneurship, discussing the relentless workload, the bias against founders over 30, and why "necessity" is the ultimate driver for innovation in low-resource settings. The conversation culminates in a jaw-dropping "Wild Story" involving a winter ravine crash, a suspicious rescue attempt, and a shocking run-in with the RCMP that serves as a chilling reminder of why safety protocols are non-negotiable for female founders. Thank you for listening to the Leaders, Innovators and Big Ideas podcast where we showcase fascinating people who are Leaders, Innovators, and have Big Ideas! Host: Rea Hailley Driven by a deep-seated belief in the power of entrepreneurship, Rea leads New Idea Machine in empowering businesses with innovative digital solutions. Having witnessed the grit and triumph of her parents building a business from scratch, Rea is passionate about enabling significant revenue growth and seamless operations for startups and Small/Medium Businesses, ensuring their dedication translates into tangible success. Guest: Nyasha Katedza, a CSMLS- and BCSLS-certified Medical Laboratory Assistant with a CMLA from Camosun Colege and a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Emory University. After working in both public hospital labs and private diagnostics, she saw firsthand how access to care can shape outcomes. That experience inspired her to found BioInsight DNA & Blood Services, a specimen collection company dedicated to bringing high-quality, equitable diagnostics to every community, especially the disabled and home-bound.  Nyasha's work bridges science, compassion, and innovation - all driven by a belief that everyone deserves a health system that challenges disparities and provides equitable access to care. Show Links: BioInsight DNA & Blood Services Inc.  Show Quotes: "We wanna think about flowers and butterflies when it comes to entrepreneurship, but a lot of times as a female entrepreneur, you have to consider safety... taking some courses in self-defense is not such a bad idea either." "I think most people would be surprised to learn that I'm not a spring chicken... A lot of funding is focused on youth entrepreneurship and there needs to be a conversation about that as well. It's like once you reach 30 or older, then you have no ideas and you have no vision." "If you ever meet an entrepreneur from a rural or remote area, they're building and they're building without funding... what drives them is necessity for themselves and for their neighbors."

In 1998, a polite and oddly courteous criminal known as "Roofman" began a crime spree across nine states, targeting mostly McDonald's restaurants. Jeffrey Manchester, a former Army paratrooper, would cut holes in the roofs of buildings, wait for employees to arrive, and then rob them at gunpoint—after politely telling them to grab a jacket before locking them in the freezer. After being caught and sentenced to 45 years, he escaped prison by hiding under a truck.   For six months, he lived inside the walls of a Toys "R" Us in Charlotte, North Carolina, surviving on baby food and entertaining himself with remote-controlled cars. He even started a new life, complete with a girlfriend and a church community who knew him as "John Zorn." This is the unbelievable true story of the criminal who turned a toy store into his personal hideout and the bizarre double life he led before his final capture.     New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!   Follow us on Instagram: @momsandmysteries   Join our Patreon: patreon.com/momsandmysteries   Visit our website: momsandmysteries.com   #TrueCrime #Podcast #JeffreyManchester #Roofman #RooftopRobber #ToysRUs #CharlotteNC #CrimeSpree #PrisonEscape

Sammy Rae and The Friends didn't just start a band—they sparked a movement.

Some people chase opportunities. Ben Uyeda manufactures them from thin air. He's the kind of mind who can turn a single YouTube video into a global audience, a shipping container into a home, and an empty stretch of desert into a 65-room design-forward hotel. His career isn't a straight line — it's a series of bold leaps, each one bigger and riskier than the last. Today, I'm joined by Ben — a man who defies simple titles. He's an architect who never got licensed… yet co-founded an award-winning design firm. A YouTube creator who has racked up millions of views… yet never set out to be an influencer. A DIY experimenter who built his first video around making a vase… and somehow found himself co-developing the first ground-up hotel in Joshua Tree in over a decade. Ben's story is one of intentional pivots and unexpected escalations — the kind that start with a single idea, and through grit, ingenuity, and a willingness to share the messy middle, grow into something extraordinary. From sustainable design classrooms at Cornell to steel-frame modular hotel rooms shipped from Canada to the California desert, his career reads like a blueprint for blending creativity with entrepreneurship. In our conversation, we cover: How prolific demonstration of process can be more powerful than perfection — and why that's catnip for potential partners. Why sharing “warts and all” content beats polished mystery every time. The real reason most ambitious hotel projects in Joshua Tree fail — and how patience and risk tolerance become the ultimate competitive advantage. The economics of design decisions, and how a $6,000 bench became a $900 triumph. Why the future of hospitality may mean curating less, not more — and creating spaces for reflection instead of constant stimulation. Whether you're a builder, a dreamer, or just someone who loves a good “how did they pull that off?” story, this episode will make you see the intersection of design, content, and business in a whole new way.

Today's featured poet is Ibe Liebenberg (0:03:51) who joins Ann Wallace to talk about his new collection, Birds at Night, published in 2025 by Texas Tech University Press. Ibe is a member of the Chickasaw nation, as well as a firefighter from Paradise, California. With wildfires causing increasing destruction across the nation in recent years, we have wanted to speak with a firefighter on The WildStory—and this conversation with Ibe does not disappoint. It is a reflective one, highlighting the intertwining threads—of land, migration, and ancestry, of family and memory, of fire, loss and healing—contained within his poetry. Spring is here, and in this month's segment of "Ask Randi," Randi Eckel (0:31:47), owner of Toadshade Wildflower Farm encourages listeners to take a gentle approach when tidying up their gardens this season. She explains that because insects and other wildlife rely on leaf litter, stems, and decaying wood throughout the year, plant debris is essential for the survival of many creatures. Next, Kim Correro is joined by guest host Susan Landau, one of the people behind the Foote's Pond Wood Park restoration project in Morristown, New Jersey. Susan has also been instrumental in creating the "Going Native" planting guide for Northern New Jersey, and she collaborates each year on the popular Great Swamp Watershed Native Plant Sale, which is open online through April 18th. More information can be found at greatswamp.org. Together, Kim and Susan interview William Cullina (0:41:10), the F. Otto Haas Executive Director of the Morris Arboretum & Gardens at the University of Pennsylvania. Cullina is a well-known author and recognized authority on North American native plants. During their conversation, he shares his long-term goals for the Morris Arboretum and discusses his research in tree genetics and soil microbiology, as well as an exciting new exhibition titled "Bees, Butterflies, and Blooms: A Pollinator Paradise," which will run this year from May 23 to September 30. In the final segment, Kim and Ann speak with award-winning author and designer Kelly D. Norris (1:08:39), one of the leading ecological horticulturists of his generation. Kelly's new book, Your Natural Garden, is a page-by-page guide through the seasons of a naturalistic garden's life, and the tasks that come with each stage. Kelly explores the connections between people, plants, and place through ecological, site-specific design and art. He talks with Kim and me about the history of natural places, the value of abundance—in life and in planting—and the importance of becoming familiar, beyond the limited information contained on labels, with the plants we have in our gardens and parks. Follow The Wildstory on Instagram at Thewildstory_podcast
