Hey! I Want Your Job!

One of the biggest changes in business since 2019 has been the rise of the "authentic" employment vibe.  No one wants cheesy headshots or canned, sales-y "elevator pitches".  Instead the market wants people who look, act, and feel REAL.  Enter Dan Roth.  In 2020 Dan was looking for work and struggling.  With twin baby girls, and the expense that is life in California he was doing his best not to panic...

Most people love a good scare - at least occasionally.  We all have memory of one time or another when a film "got" us and the way we jumped was fantastic.  Whether or not you love horror though, well, that's another matter.  The treatment of women, and minorities in particular is highly problematic in the genre, and that's before we get to the blood.  Big N Funky Productions takes a unique approach to the whole thing...

Real estate is one of those careers where we all have a clear picture of what kind of people do that job.  It's not always a flattering picture. 

We blame the poor for their poverty. Calling them lazy or entitled.

Black men are demonized as violent, drug users, and bad fathers.

With all of this together, Asher Carr shouldn't have had a chance...

Life since March of 2020 has been harder than any adult could have imagined. For those of us with kids - even more so.  Trying to navigate our own feelings, let alone those of developing humans or a relationship is at best overwhelming, and at worst.... well.  Worse.  Roya Dedeaux is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helping people connect and play their way through these times...

One of the good things that has come out of the pandemic is that many people have used this as a time to reconnect with their love of food and cooking.  Lockdown happened in March and by May millions were baking sourdough bread daily, brewing kombucha, and experimenting with new recipes and ways of cooking...

Wade Simmons is almost a lot of things.  He's almost a pro wrestler.  He's almost a certified mortician.  He's almost a film maker.  Wade is also already a lot of things.  He's a dreamer.  He's a heck of a nice guy.  Most interestingly, he's really really happy.  Wade will be the first guy to tell you he doesn't have, make, or aspire to a lot of money...

We've had a lot of amazing people on this podcast. CEO's, philanthropists, innovators, business gurus, etc. Everyone of them has been exceptional in some way or another. Then there's Dr Tamara Beckford. A woman who is exceptional in EVERY way. She job is literally saving lives all day every day (actually all night...) as an ER doctor. She's also hilarious, and kind. She's a great mom, sister, and friend...

Even in 2022 women in science are ridiculously rare.  Less than 30% of the world's researchers are women.  The impact that this overwhelming bias has can be felt across sectors from the lack of focus on women's health, or reproductive issues, to the algorithmic biases found in AI that has been developed overwhelmingly by men...

Have you heard strange noises in the night?  Heard voices of people not there? Felt a chill and a sudden change in temperature?  Kristy Sumner has.  The team at Soul Sisters (and yes, they are sisters!) travels around investigating rumors of hauntings and looking for clear, scientifically reliable evidence of spectral manifestations.  They have found... a LOT.  Is it all irrefutable guaranteed to convert anyone? Nope - and that may be one of the best parts...

Every year fertility rates are declining, especially in the most developed countries.  Birth rates are lower, and more and more couples are turning to fertility medicine like IVF.  The process is stressful, expensive, and emotional.  For  many it is simply outside of what they can afford, or manage within their lifestyles.  Morgan Rockwell offers a different approach.  Her techniques and treatments come from ancient Oriental Medicine...
