52:54https://redlotuswellnesscenter.com/ Kristin Althea O'Connor, M.Ac., L.Ac. is a woman with a kind heart who has always wanted to see people thrive. She loves nothing more than having the opportunity to provide a safe healing space for all ages and to assist on the journey towards helping each patient find her/his/their truest self. She adores being part of a team, creating a success story in place of what once felt like a bleak struggle. She's kind of a health cheerleader, this one. Kristin’s practice has always focused on mental health, postpartum health, trauma, chronic conditions, and addiction. Is there anything more beautiful than to work with someone to pull them from the dark into their light and to see them shine in the way only they can? Kristin would say no. Because of this, people who want better for their lives and believe they will find it are the ones that are drawn to her treatment space. Kristin’s favorite modalities to produce change are five element acupuncture, medical qigong (especially for distance healing treatments), and essential oils. In 2023 she completed her International Pediatric Specialist training because she yearned to share this medicine with children to create profound change from such a young age. Kristin utilizes the following tools in her treatments: Five Element Acupuncture Medical Qigong Essential Oils Cupping Moxibustion Gua sha Shonishin Tui na Chinese Stone Medicine Additional Details on Kristin’s Studies: FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE In her lifelong quest to help others shine, Kristin found a winning vehicle for this in Five Element Acupuncture and enrolled in the Master’s program at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, FL. She chose this school for two big reasons: 1. Five Element Acupuncture gets to the root of dis-ease, and she wanted her patients to find deep, lasting healing. 2. This school flies in instructors from all over the world to share insight on their own private practices, so Kristin could learn from the best. She thrived there and served as class representative, graduating in 2010. During her time in school she learned cupping, moxibustion, and gua sha. This beautiful, powerful medicine is specialized and as such, Kristin is one of only two Five Element Acupuncturists in Western MA. PEDIATRIC ACUPUNCTURE Seeing the profound effects of her practice and having children of her own spurred an interest in Pediatric Acupuncture. In 2023 Kristin completed the International Pediatrics Specialist training held by world-renowned practitioner Rebecca Avern. Kristin is thrilled to help children of ages address chronic conditions, trauma, and mental health struggles to live a better life. She learned shonishin and tui na during this time, and is thrilled to offer non-needle options to those nervous to start with needles. She has a special love for treating children with ASD. She is the only acupuncturist in her area focusing on children’s mental health and trauma. MEDICAL QIGONG & DISTANCE HEALING TREATMENTS When Kristin started acupuncture school, she became deeply inspired by Medical Qigong, which is, in short, healing patients without needles. Kristin studied with Paul Fraser, L.Ac., who had learned the practice 20 years earlier to put his aggressive cancer diagnosis to a halt. She continued on, learning from Paul's teacher Tom Tam of Boston, and then from internationally-beloved Master Ou. The form she learned from Master Ou, Pan Gu Shen Gong, is a form focused on increasing the benevolence of the practitioner. It's Kristin's favorite form and the one she practices almost exclusively, and the form she uses to provide distance healing treatments worldwide. In 2008, Kristin was certified to teach the Moving Form from Master Ou and, after years of dedication, she was granted access to teach the Nonmoving Form in 2016. She is one of only 32 practitioners world-wide to teach both forms. Kristin loves teaching Pan Gu Shengong to patients for improving their own health. She utilizes her skills to offer distance treatments worldwide and is the only practitioner in Western MA to teach these forms. ESSENTIAL OILS When Kristin started her acupuncture practice in 2011, she was fortunate to connect to Elizabeth Gibbs who introduced her to doTerra Essential Oils. She immediately felt their power and began using them personally and in the treatment room. Knowing that medicine is only effective when patients actually use it, Kristin loved seeing the results from her patients who loved them, too. Ask Kristin to help you create a customized oils toolbox for your needs, and until then, look here to see where the magic is at: doTerra ADDITIONAL NOTABLE TRAININGS Kristin completed trainings in both Feng Shui and Chinese Stone Medicine to uncover the impact of minerals and crystals in spaces and in treatments. She often use these stones to enhance her treatments. She sells some beauties as well as they further enhance the healing journey. Kristin is a certified yoga instructor who has personally and professionally studied meditation. She loves teaching this to patients, maybe especially those who think they can’t do it. The Personal Side If you’ve made it this far, there you have it: Such is the practice of Kristin Althea O'Connor! Other fun facts? Kristin's undergrad degree was in Journalism and Comparative Literature and she still does some healthcare freelance writing for fun. She lived in Florida, North Carolina, California, Oregon, and Australia before bringing the needle love back to where she grew up in Western Massachusetts. She plans to have a tiny and amazing treatment space surrounded by nature on land in Pelham, MA someday. She volunteers at the Fisher Home in Amherst as a way to give back the love her mother received when she went through Hospice at the end of her life. Kristin has a huge place in her heart for her inspiring little boys Bowie and Sullivan “Sully” and amazing bearded husband Dano. She spends her free time weaving, tending to her plants, meditating, manifesting, getting outside as much as possible, and smiling. There’s always room for more smiling. Last thing? She can't wait to meet you and work with you.…

We’re not like a lot of those married couples (you know the ones) who morph into versions of the same person. Our unique interests and differences are what make us and the Soft Serve Podcast fun to listen to. Stomping Jen: Stomping Jen got her podcast name from her propensity to stomp her foot on the ground when she is frustrated or mad, usually at Sawtooth Frank. Despite her name, Stomping Jen is not an angry person. On the contrary, she is an eternal optimist and lover of life, art (observing and making), music, and connecting with people. Stomping Jen’s big heart and fierce intelligence shine through in our conversations. To listen to her is to love her. Sawtooth Frank: Sawtooth Frank’s podcast name comes from a jagged front tooth (now covered with a cap), broken during a horrific childhood ice-skating accident. A long-time fan of talk radio and podcasts, Sawtooth always dreamed of sitting behind the microphone and having his own show. So, in 2018, he created the Soft Serve Podcast with Stomping Jen. Sawtooth is unflinchingly curious and honest, whether it’s trying to understand other people and our world more deeply, dealing with his own issues, or just talking with Stomping Jen about pop culture and life. Whatever the topic at hand, be assured Sawtooth will take it on with passion, reflection, and humor. https://www.softservepodcast.com/…

But in the years leading up to these incredible leaps in advocacy, every day was a battle against schizophrenic hallucinations and suicidal ideation. After a lifetime of resisting professional care and shying away from sharing his story, Johnny’s curiosity flowered, and the healing slowly began. Armed with 10 years of clinical treatment, a psychology degree from the University of Central Florida, and a decade of peer support and public advocacy through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Johnny’s youthful vigor for mental health has impacted millions of lives across the globe. Since his first keynote in 2011, Johnny's refreshingly vulnerable and candid perspective has attracted praise from hundreds of outlets, including Upworthy, CNN, and Forbes. Even when commanding a virtual stage or touring with his metal band, Prison , his infectious positivity and firsthand experience with multiple mental illnesses (ranging from bipolar disorder and PTSD to OCD and beyond) uniquely equip him to provide realistic, yet hopeful insight into the pains of hardship with authenticity, levity, and unconventional wit.…

We believe in 3 things: Finding sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions to produce coffee that has less of a carbon footprint and working towards being zero waste Building social capital among our community and with other businesses Bringing high-quality, freshly roasted coffee to our local residents, businesses and partners We strongly believe in reducing, reusing and recycling. Everything inside our roastery is made from repurposed materials, we establish composting programs with our wholesale partners, run on 100% wind power energy and use compostable materials at our roastery and events. We partner with various, local businesses to build social capital among Springfield and its surrounding areas. By social capital we mean “the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a society, enabling that society to function effectively”. In partnering with other businesses, also striving to perfect the art of their craft, we cross-promote so that the community can benefit from various high-quality products. This approach to partnerships helps to boost the local economy. We are convenience and customer service driven. We bring coffee to where people are or need it, and we provide education and comprehensive workshops to understand coffee better. A little about us: Monsoon Roastery was birthed out of the desire to stop working to fulfill somebody else's dream and instead build something worthy of our time, energy and efforts. With a baby on the way, two half-finished degrees, and some ambitious inspiration...the dream was born. We used our passion and extensive knowledge of coffee, customer service, community engagement, research and brand management to create a product that we could stand behind. We love being creative and fun with our product. We roast, pack, and seal every can by hand, and if we can make you laugh with our blend names in the process, even better. Our goal is to provide you with a thoroughly enjoyable coffee experience. That is why we do everything we do!…

As a former sedentary, over-weight, smoker, David knew that he needed to focus not on what others wanted out of him, but on what he wanted out of life. Through lessons learned in business and sport, David introduces the concept of the “middle of the pack” and discusses how to get more out of ourselves than ever imagined. He applies this concept to life and business and adds value to the people he works with coming from the perspective of the “middle of the pack.” David was born in Miami and raised mostly in the Los Angeles area. He and his wife split their time between homes in Southern California and Southern Nevada. He has worked in real estate, lending, construction, started both an animation company and a skin care company, and then went into financial services.

1:01:48Caroline Collins work creates a true expression of the scientific art of mental and physical fitness. She promotes a lifestyle, not a trend. She is a Science Educator, 2x World Ranked Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt, an Entrepreneur, and a leader in fitness and health. After being physically attacked and fearing for her life over 10 years ago, She realized she knew nothing about how to use her body to protect herself. She sought after a martial art and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu found her. After completing her Master’s in Science Education, she moved out to California from Massachusetts to train with the best BJJ competitor and world champion athlete, Cobrinha, and simultaneously start her career in her other passion: science education. Her aim was to teach people how to live healthier and happier in their bodies through conscious existence and natural nutrition and fitness. After only two years of being a Science Educator, she was promoted to Science Department Chair in the Los Angeles School District. She also served as a Teaching Fellow for the National Science Foundation, being an example for teachers across the country in how to teach science. She lead students in critically thinking about the physiological (function) of the body in order to understand their wellness needs. Knowing the science supports the art of living our best. Taking the risk to leave a successful career to pursue her deeper passion, she left my job to train as a full-time athlete and compete BJJ nationally and internationally. Simultaneously, she started her first business, a health food company to promote optimal nutrition for active people. During the 7 years of living in Los Angeles, she started several businesses in the fitness and nutrition fields, including; a health food and catering company that contracted with Mike Tyson, a fitness/self-defense/wellness program that lead seminars in local school districts and in large corporations and also trained personal and group fitness classes and designed nutrition programs for clients. Her current business, CC Fit & Wellness, is the culmination of her skills, knowledge, and applied experience from being a world ranked Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor, a leader in science education, and a successful business creator in nutrition and fitness. The clients she serves are guided to a better understanding of how their body works and its individual needs to function optimally. Her goal for all of her clients is to feel and look beautiful with confidence, strength, and technique.

I reference a proof of concept short video for Black Ice in the podcast, it currently is not available as it is being reworked and edited**** In the film, Black Ice – We follow Will Mankus, a star high school hockey player, deal with the aftermath of his best friend and teammate Danny Arnold’s sudden suicide. The tragic loss triggered Nehoiden, Massachusetts and Will to question what has happened to this beautiful town, that has tradition written all over it. The backbone of “Black Ice” is based on events that took place between 2004-2009 in the town of Needham, MA. The Needham community was going through tough times. There had been a cluster of suicides. Needham, Massachusetts had a problem, and no one had an answer. Students were not dealing with it well. It was very quiet at school for quite some time. At that moment there was no real peer counseling available for kids. Students had to find their own way of support. Either a faculty member they knew closely or a group of friends, but even then, no one knew how to talk to each other. "Kids are starting to say things like, 'There's something wrong with Needham. Are we cursed?' which is disturbing," Richards said. "But remember, it's not just about drug use, it's not just about too much homework. Let's not rush to put a simple answer on it." - Principle Richards – 2006 (Wicked Local – Needham) Will Mankus has a tough road to overcome after the death of Danny. Questioning the final conversations, he had with Danny, the community involvement, and the sport he loves, hockey. BLACK ICE needs to be told. As teen suicide continues to happen. It is imperative that the message behind the film be brought to light to help change the public discussion on this pertinent issue. https://www.facebook.com/officialblackicethemovie/ https://www.instagram.com/official_blackice_themovie/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steven-opalenik/support…

Catching up was fantastic, and we were even blessed with a visit from a 3rd essential member of their company!! The episode is packed with great information on self care, perspective, and empathy (and Aaron also channels his inner Hulk Powers!!). Aaron was diagnosed with Itchy Dry Skin and has struggled ever since to find products that work for him. During his time in high school, he began to make his own body butters and soaps to help with his skin. After a teacher told him to sell the product, he began to pursue a skin care business. After years of research and trial and error he launched his business, Simply Smooth, in 2017. Since then, Aaron has received the Grinspoon Entrepreneurship Spirit Award, 2nd Place in the Hampshire College Pitching Competition, an internship with Hampshire College Entrepreneurship Internship, got accepted to both VVM Collegiate Accelerator and VVM Startup Accelerator Programs, and many other awards. Aaron is dedicated to self care just as much as making these products, believing that beauty comes from within. Noticing that many millennial and young people struggle with self confidence and self esteem, Aaron made it a priority to incorporate this into the business. By creating a business and a community Aaron is excited to continue to grow and expand! The company recently became Beyond Happiness as it sums up their new mission more than the previous name of Simply Smooth! Maire Frances is thrilled to be apart of Beyond Happiness! Joining the team in 2017 during the launch of the business, Maire Frances has been eager to be apart of every aspect of the business. Maire Frances controls the online social media platforms and does a lot of the decorating for displays, and show tables that Simply Smooth attends to sell and display their products.

49:20Today we got to sit down with my fellow geek, Michele Heyward. And boy, let me tell you, she is a blast. I first met Michele in the VVM Start Up Accelerator- much like Episode 6 guest Oscar. Michele blew my mind early on. Her warmth, charisma, humor and caring are all evident from the minute she says hello to you. She can conversate with the best of them, and she holds your interest. But what you don't see until you get to know her, is her extreme want to help create a world of equal opportunity, equity, and respect. Oh you learn it within five minutes, but by then you already know Michele for who she is. She is one of the most genuine people you can ever meet, and she will have you in stitches for hours. We get to talk about her passions, her history, and how she is advocating for change in the STEM field, specifically for women of color. You may notice that Michele's company is actually name PositiveHire, and that the name of the episode is actually Positive Higher.... this wasn't a mistake- in the episode we talk about how Michele came up with the amazing pun for her company. I wanted to honor that in the title, because she literally is a person who is bringing the value of "Positive" to a higher level. Michele Heyward is founder and CEO of PositiveHire, a tech company engineered to bridge the gap between enterprises and women of color in STEM. Michele is an experienced project manager in the energy sector armed with technical sales and technology transfer experience. Michele’s vision is to not only help women of color in STEM find inclusive workplaces, but to prepare enterprises to receive them, and help those enterprises recruit them.This approach makes PositiveHire, the premiere recruiting platform for women of color professionals. Michele has a B.S. degree in civil engineering and M.S. degree in industrial management, both from Clemson University. A South Carolina native, Michele enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, Toastmasters, and making connections personally and professionally. Michele has a passion for engaging with others on social media.

47:05Today we got to sit down with my good friend, Oscar Pedroso. In this episode we dive deep into Oscar's passions to help youth gain access to hands on engineering kits and models. We deeply talk about his approach to life and positive thinking, and we hear about his early life, his struggles, and what it took to get him through the obstacles in his life that were put in his way. We also have some great shout outs to Oscar's Dad, and other friends of ours in the Valley Venture Mentor crew. Oscar is founder / CEO of Thimble.io - an education technology business founded in 2015 and based in Buffalo, NY. He hails from New York City and was introduced to Western New York upon his enrollment at the University of Rochester where he graduated with degrees in Math and Economics. He is a first generation college graduate and entrepreneur. After graduation, Oscar worked in higher-education as a college admission officer at his alma mater; his focus there was recruiting students of color from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue engineering as a possible major and career option. Oscar has since started multiple businesses in the education space - including a private tutoring business, an online project journal tool for student engineers, and now Thimble which helps children learn engineering and coding skills through hands-on kits. Oscars spends his spare time rowing for Buffalo Scholastic Rowing Association, taking care of his pitbull (willow) and silver lab (cooper), and helping other entrepreneurs realize their potential. Here are 3 things most don't know about Oscar: 1) Do not tell him you're interested in starting your own business. He will make sure you eventually quit your full-time job to realize your dream. 2) He is inspired by various DJs and has created his own mixes. One day he hopes to play his music for large groups of people. 3) He speaks fluent Spanish and French, and is moderately proficient in Russian and Catalan.

53:01Welcome to Episode 3!! Our guest is Jonny Tran; a man of many talents. He is a local trainer, leader, Marine, and all around awesome guy. I first met Jonny when he was a senior in high school. He participated in a youth leadership group, LACES, that I was running at Springfield College. Upon first meeting Jonny, it is evident that he stands out from others. He is funny, caring, charismatic, and positive. We dive into some of these qualities and how he is able to maintain these, even in times of strife and negativity. We also talk about his general outlook on life, what the future holds for him, and some of his favorite, and least favorite, exercises. It was an honor to catch up with him, and see how he has applied himself over the years. I am proud to call him a friend, and happy that you get to meet such an awesome individual through this podcast. One quick note: I make reference to Jocko Willink and his podcast in this episode, I unfortunately listed him as a Marine, when in fact, he is a Navy Seal. I apologize for the misinformation- and I wanted to clarify the error.
