  • Ronan Levy: Field Trip Health, The Psychedelic Renaissance

    Ronan Levy: Field Trip Health, The Psychedelic Renaissance
    Sep 21 2021
    The Psychedelic Renaissance. Ronan Levy walks us through the Field Trip Health growth story in the emergence of psychedelic assisted therapy and new mental health treatments. Much stemming from Michael Pollan leading the way and on the forefront of this cultural shift as humanity wrestles with the crisis of emotion or a crisis of spirituality. I like to call it the emergence of the clinical Shaman. So many treatments are showing promise in advancing the development of psychedelic therapies. If you're curious about psychedelics or the emerging mental health treatment, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.

  • Harry Taylor & Amanda Laine: The Hot, The Cold and The Breath

    Harry Taylor & Amanda Laine: The Hot, The Cold and The Breath
    Jun 8 2021

    Inward Breathwork – 25% Lifetime Discount & 7 Day Free Trial Discount Code: VG25 https://www.inwardbreathwork.com/ 

    Amanda and Harry were just meant to do this. Together they are creating a transformative business which includes the sauna, the cold and breath work. Hearing Amanda discuss how they turned their idea into a business driven by an overriding mission to build up each other and build up other people is amazing. Then Boom, they landed in the sauna, the hot sauna and the zero-degree cold tub. We go into detail around the program and the mental and physical benefits of the hot and cold. The inward breath work platform is great for people who struggle with meditation. Breath is force. The idea came about organically, grew out of covid, and is now a large and growing membership platform with weekly, quarterly and yearly options. Humans are stressed. Life runs at an incredibly fast pace and the idea of calming the mind and settling down can be hard for many. I couldn't agree more with what Harry had to say, ‘We're not living in our bodies, were just living way too much in our head’. The themes that run throughout are so potent. The sense of community and science, meets spirituality, connecting with nature, swearing in ceremony. This episode really resonated with me and I really think you're on to something. This will be big. Enjoy Harry and Amanda.

    Carly's passion for design and creating a more collaborative and open design build industry is palpable. It's this passion for her craft that has driven her to create an award-winning design build firm and ‘The Collective’, a first of its kind coworking space for architects, designers and builders. She offers great insight into the ambiguous value of design and the trials and tribulations of building a strong team. On a personal note, she defined my design style as midcentury modern with a touch of old Hollywood. Nailed it. Check her out at https://www.thecollective.com/ or https://www.carriagelanedesigns.com/.

    Roslyn McLarty: Creating Sports Content for Women by Women
    Apr 27 2021
    Roslyn McLarty always knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur, the trigger to her life as an entrepreneur came like most good ideas from a personal pain point, a need for a sports media platform that spoke to women today. Roslyn is the co-founder of a rapidly growing sports media brand ‘The GIST’ creating sports content for women by women and empowering underserved sports fans. Everyone wants to be a part of the watercooler chat, for many women, sports can feel like a boys club, exclusionary and intimidating, generally male dominated. Here are a couple stats. Less than 14 percent of sports journalists are female. Less than four percent of sports media coverage is on female athletes, and less than two percent of C Suite executives in major sports leagues are women. Sports is one of our social currencies bringing people together, The GIST strives to make sports more inclusive, relatable and funny, making something that can be intimidating into something fun and approachable for brands. It's an interesting opportunity to align with the growing and interesting demographic and audience. We cover some great topics and have a wonderful conversation.

  • Debra Jasper: Plain Words are Easily Understood

    Debra Jasper: Plain Words are Easily Understood
    Apr 13 2021
    The brain science tells us that the average professional has an eight second attention span, we’re more distracted, more distant and more distressed than ever before. And guess what? It's harder for distressed people to listen and learn. How we communicate is more important than ever, but we often communicate to impress rather than inform. As professionals, we should be designing for attention, our scarcest resource. Debra Jasper breaks down critical today skills that we could all use, right for action, redesign how we are presenting, S.O.S emails and of course, the Title Slide - The LinkedIn profile in Google Search Result, where she takes great positioning on how you should appear, not what you do. What you love about what you do for your clients. Debra cuts through the fluff, a storytelling master in a can't miss interview.
