РЕКЛАМА
“My colleague and I went out to Arizona because there was a community that was concerned about the expansion of an egg laying operation, essentially in their backyard. At full capacity, that operation was slated to house 12 million birds. 12 million birds. It's like New York City, but with chickens.” – Brent Kim We know that what we eat has an enormous impact on billions of animals, our health and the health of the planet. If we fail to change our diets and the food system, the planet will face increasingly severe environmental, social, and economic consequences, many of which are already beginning to unfold. We know this, we know that there is much we could be doing about it, on large and small scales, yet the urgency is not there. I think the more knowledge we have, the more we are willing to demand change and even change ourselves. So, I wanted to go deeper into the food system to get a better understanding of its impact on public health, the planet, ecosystems and social justice, and mostly - to hear about how we change it. This episode marks the beginning of a special four-part series with some of the experts from the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future . This conversation is with Brent Kim . Brent is a program officer for the Center’s Food Production and Public Health program. His research spans issues from farm to fork with published works on sustainable diets, climate change and industrial food, animal production, food and agriculture policy, soil safety, and urban food systems. He and I talk about much of it, how to change it and solutions for a much better future.

Brian Sachetta is the author and owner of Get Out of Your Head®, a brand and book series that seeks to help folks overcome anxiety and depression. By trade, Brian is a software developer. He combines his experiences in the tech world with previous mental health battles to draw parallels between computer systems and the human mind and give readers practical strategies for evading their own psychological demons. Brian currently has two books on the market, “Get Out of Your Head: A Toolkit for Living with and Overcoming Anxiety” and “Get Out of Your Head Vol. 2: Navigating the Abyss of Depression.” His mission is to help as many sufferers as possible through not only those books but also his blog and podcast appearances. Since high school / college, my career has been mostly: software development from 9-5 (combination of FT jobs, freelance projects, and starting a few small companies / apps with friends), then writing on nights and weekends. I enjoy both professions, but I find more meaning in the writing and would like to lean into it more. Just a matter of having the sales to support my living expenses (not quite there yet). In my free time (besides writing), you can find me checking out new restaurants, running / walking around town, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, or traveling to warm weather (Boston is cold 6-7 months a year).

Have you ever had an event that upends your life? One of those things that makes you take stock of who you are, what you’re doing, and what’s most important? Today, Belinda talks with Kevin Hoover, who transitioned from corporate management to executive coach. Kevin's journey was spurred by personal circumstances, notably his son's cancer diagnosis, which brought immense stress and challenges. Kevin shares how he learned to manage stress through reflection and small breaks, emphasizing their role in resetting and boosting productivity. We delve into the importance of breaks and the need for a cultural shift away from the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Kevin offers practical suggestions for taking effective breaks, such as meditation or quick social media checks. He also underscores the critical role of sleep in stress management, advocating prioritizing the necessary hours of sleep over what we might want. Kevin provides three key tips for stress management. First, prioritize sleep by discovering your body's natural sleep needs. Next, reframe your mindset about daily tasks, focusing on what you get to do rather than what you have to do. Lastly, establish clear boundaries between work and personal life, creating "hard stops" to regain control and reduce stress. Kevin shares his journey of navigating adversity and finding purpose through his nonprofit organization, Hug Your People, which supports families dealing with pediatric cancer. We discuss shifting company culture and the importance of allowing employees to make an impact and utilize their talents. When asked about his definition of working from his happy place, Kevin emphasizes the need for comfort, safety, love, and control in one's environment. He discusses his daily planner designed to change the mindset of C-suite executives, encouraging them to view their day as a "get to do" list rather than a "to do" list. In closing, Kevin reminds us that stress management is not a luxury but a necessity, and small shifts in our daily approach can yield significant reductions in stress and increased enjoyment. Key Learnings from the Episode: [Challenging the traditional work culture [00:07:09] Reframing mindset about the day [00:10:56] Navigating Adversity and Finding Purpose [00:19:02] The shift in culture [00:28:59] Working from your happy place [00:32:18] About Kevin Hoover - I spent over 15 years in corporate management before carving my own path. It was and is the most challenging and rewarding thing to do. Currently, I work with business leaders through my company called Next Crest in areas like stress management, positive company culture & living a balanced life. My story was re-written in 2019 when my, then, 4 year old son was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. It shook me to my core. I dropped everything & vowed to be at every treatment & appointment that he had. I built my coaching business from a children's hospital. Literally. Over the next 70 weeks, our priorities would get a big wake-up call. My son beat cancer & changed my life. I'm proud to say that he is a happy & healthy 7-year-old as I type this. When you come out of that, you have no choice but to ask yourself questions. I spent a lot of time searching for my purpose until I landed on Next Crest. It is my passion to help leaders be better leaders. I've developed a planner for higher levels of productivity, coached business leaders to more success & shared our story on stages across the country. Possibly the craziest thing we've done is sell our house & travel the US for 13 months in an RV to support our nonprofit called Hug Your People. We have been about to impact over 400 pediatric cancer families through our organization to date.

1 Transform Your Beliefs Into a Thriving Business: Discover the Power of Positive Affirmations & Positive Thinking with Laura Schmidt 31:35
Discover the transformative power of positive affirmations and positive thinking! This mindset can change the trajectory of your life. Let’s explore how to turn your beliefs into a successful enterprise. Every great business starts with belief and conviction and making it successful takes passion, dedication, and hard work. In this episode, we are joined by Laura Schmidt, who shares with us her incredible journey of discovering the strength of positive thinking. Not only did she turn this belief into a successful business, but she also wants to spread her message far and wide: that words make all the difference Key Learnings from the Episode: [16:06] Laura's advice on how to take your business idea from thinking to the action phase. [21:57] Why should you embrace customer care, not customer service? [26:56] What does working from your happy place mean to Laura? [29:29] Laura's advice to people starting the entrepreneurship journey. About Laura Schmidt - Enthusiasm takes on a whole new meaning when you meet Laura Schmidt. Operating at speeds of fast and faster, Laura always dreamed of starting her own business and making an impact on our world. As a mentor, entrepreneur, and mother, Laura learned firsthand the importance of speaking with positivity and encouragement to others. In her free time, she sought out books, advice, and mentors who would help her become the best, most positive version of herself. As her belief in the power of positivity grew, Laura wanted to share her message with the world: that words make all the difference®. So when an idea struck in 2011 to put positive affirmations on the toes of socks, she took off running. 12 years later, with hard work and the help of her family and community, Laura has built notes to self®, which her children call “a sock empire.” Starting with high-quality athletic socks, Laura’s products went through dozens of prototype phases in search of the perfect sock. And though many will tell you these are the most comfortable socks you will ever own, the socks’ true impact comes from the words. Made exclusively in the U.S.A., notes to self® products are sold on notestoself.com, in hundreds of stores nationwide (Hallmark stores, hospital gift shops, boutiques, and airports, to name a few), and to companies for corporate gifting. To date, her company has donated over 120,000 pairs of notes to self® socks to homeless shelters, women’s shelters, and children in great need. As notes to self® continues to grow, Laura hopes the dreams and confidence of people of all ages grow so they know they can accomplish great things!

Mindset and marketing are essential components of success in business, even more so than the actual craft. We've seen less talented people reach the top while more talented ones fall behind, because they have different mindsets and marketing strategies. Mindset and marketing involves not just believing in ourselves but also believing in our buyers and audiences. We have to believe in our artistic capabilities as well as what we are creating. However, it is also important to remember there is another element of this equation – believing in our buyers. Without some faith in those who will potentially view our work and invest in what we create, success may be difficult to come by. In this episode, Miriam Schulman, the founder of The Inspiration Place, talks about the switch she made from corporate to art and how she was able to build an art business from scratch.

As an artist, saying yes to opportunities is essential for growing your talent and becoming successful.

You might need to take risks by saying yes to jobs or tasks that you haven't done before, but it can lead to valuable growth and experience in the long run.

About Brian Cowan - Brian Cowan is a Southern California native that currently calls Southeast Michigan home. He has hosted the top-rated "Breakfast With Bubba" on Cumulus Media's WWWW-FM for over twenty years. It wasn't always radio that was Brian's target. Throughout his youth, his desire was to become an airline pilot. When the airline hiring requirements in the early 1990s clashed with his eyesight shortfalls, Brian decided to major in Management Human Resources with a minor in Business Law. In his final days at Cal Poly Pomona, a friend suggested his voice would be perfect for radio. He obtained an internship at KIKF-FM in Los Angeles and, shortly before graduating, was offered the full-time evening slot. From there it was on to afternoon drive seeking more creative freedom and what is typically the most lucrative air shift. Brian set his sights on mornings. That brought him to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he brought the morning show from worst to first. Competition bought him out of the market and to Ann Arbor. In addition to radio, Brian is a licensed real estate broker and owns a small brokerage in his hometown of Dexter, Michigan. In his free time, travel is Brian's passion. He has visited sixty-three countries.
