You are Your Best Healthcare Advocate!

You are Your Best Healthcare Advocate!

John was born and raised in St. Paul, MN. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a hockey scholarship and graduated with a degree in American

Studies/Communications. After deciding not to attend law school, he started his business career as a local salesperson with WCCO-TV (CBS) in Minneapolis-St. Paul. In addition to serving the station’s existing clients, he developed a passion for successfully creating new customers and watching their business grow.

After seven years and moved to Atlanta, GA for a similar position with WSB-TV (ABC). After three years he was promoted to sales manager and served as a

National Sales Manager and Local Sales Manager. In those roles, he managed 13 national rep offices and a team of local salespeople. He also managed the station’s political advertising. During his time at WSB-TV, the station consistently overachieved its annual budgets and delivered unprecedented market revenue shares.


In 2020, at age 62, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and retired after a 40-year career. But wait, there’s more! There are three intangibles he saw in

himself and always looked for when hiring salespeople. Those are grit, tenacity, and a little bit of junkyard dog. Choosing not to participate in spending the

remainder of his life dealing with Parkinson’s, he leaned on those three attributes which led him to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Where, after three days of testing, he learned he did not have Parkinson’s.


He is currently writing a book about his life-changing experience at the Mayo Clinic and his 40-year business career. His purpose is to create awareness about a treatable condition often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or Dementia. He will also share his insights on hiring successful salespeople and creating a winning culture.


John and his wife JoAnn have been married for 39 years and reside in Atlanta. They have two children and one granddaughter.

Everybody Knows a Salesman Can’t Write a Book

Everybody Knows a Salesman Can’t Write a Book

Bill Whiteside, who is the oldest of six kids, grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs,

 

After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Management, he spent 14 years in food marketing – first with Mrs. Paul’s, which most people know for their fish sticks and onion rings – and then for a small family-owned dairy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

 

While working at the dairy, he purchased a software package to help forecast and plan sales and production of the company’s  ice cream products. He was so impressed with the software, he quit that job to start his own business to sell the software. During the course of his thirty-years selling software, he worked with customers as diverse as Under Armour, Maidenform, Lindt Chocolate, and Bob’s Discount Furniture.

 

He made another drastic career switch three years ago when he shut down his business to devote his time to writing a book about Winston Churchill and a  little-known event from World War II. In late 2022, he took a slight detour to publish a book titled “Everybody Knows a Salesman Can’t Write a Book.”

Leadership in the Military

Leadership in the Military

My name is Sergeant Derek Ruck I am a Recruiter in the Wisconsin Army National Guard at the age of 24 years old. I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin in a small house outside of the city. I’ve served 4 years so far, with 16 more years to go. Making a huge goal of mine to be what people call a “Lifer”, someone who decides to stay enlisted in the Army National Guard on active orders for a full 20 years of service. I joined the National Guard as a 13B Crew Member in Field Artillery “The King of Battle''. My training sent me down to Fort Benning Georgia for Basic Training and then to Fort Sill Oklahoma for Advanced Individual Training (Job Training). After that, I was sent back to Wisconsin and set up to drill one weekend a month in Marshfield, WI with the 1-120th. There, I learned how to load 105mm rounds into a 119 Howitzer and send those rounds downrange. Hence my favorite phrase, “Send It!”. I truly joined though to create a purpose and make a difference in my life, now my goal is to help people find that purpose in their life and be able to recruit them into an organization that I stand by and believe in to set each and every one of them up for success. Everyone thinks joining the military is a risk and challenge beyond comprehension, but without trying. You’ll never know your full potential. My hobbies are fishing, weight lifting, reading, and cooking. A goal of mine is to own my own business in the near future. Specifically, a coffee business, which may or may not already be in the works. Don’t ever tell yourself you can't do something. I am very passionate about spending time with family and loved ones. You can never get back time.

Leadership isn't a skill I magically acquired when I finally became a Non-Commissioned Officer in the Army National Guard. It was learned through hard work and also trials and tribulations. Going through hard times as a member of a team with my fellow peers and deciding what we needed to do to set ourselves up for success, but also how to learn from our mistakes. Studying my leaders for their good and bad flaws, and how to and how not to act. With 3 years of constant growth, I was able to finally be called a Sergeant and prove that I was rightfully up for the task at hand.

The Teamwork of Football Officiating

The Teamwork of Football Officiating

Mike Barbaro is a retired football referee. In this podcast, Mike will provide you a great insight into his passion for becoming a highly respected referee. Pay close attention to his approach to both the game and his crew as it will demonstrate his effective leadership skills and teamwork with his fellow officials. 

BIO

Mike wanted to be a football coach but his job and career would not allow him to coach. So he did the next best thing and became a high school football official, which he started in 1980. Mike quickly found out that being a football official was not as easy as it looked. However, it became his passion to excel at it. 

After 2 seasons of officiating, the Commissioner, Vin Reilly asked him to do some youth and freshman games as the white hat (referee) and he loved it! Then Mr. Reilly started to schedule him as a varsity referee working prep school games in South Kent, Westminster, and Canterbury. Mike didn’t care because he wanted to refine the craft of being a referee.

Mike was an on-field official for 35 years. He worked his first state championship game in 1988. Throughout his career,  he worked 6 State Championships and 5 quarter-final or semi-final playoff games.

Mike was responsible for teaching new officials for over 20 years. He really enjoyed teaching others and watching people get the officiating bug just like him.

He served as President of the Board in 1989 and served many years on the board of directors. This coming season will be his 41st season on the New Haven Board. He is currently on the Better Officiating Committee and still stays active as an observer of game crews.

Throughout Mike's career he has received the following awards and honors:

o  Gene Casey National Football Foundation Official Recognition Award in 2006

o  I was elected into the East Haven High School Hall of Fame in 2009

o  The Vincent J. Reilly Distinguished Service Award 2010

o  I was elected into the Connecticut Football Officials Hall of Fame in 2010

o  The David Holdwright Profiles in Courage Award in 2013

o  The National Football Foundation Distinguished American Award 2016

Viking Beauty Secrets

Viking Beauty Secrets

Biography of Viking Beauty Secrets Founder Eha Urbsalu

Eha grew up in Estonia, a small country below Finland, between Sweden and Russia.  As a child, Eha spent a lot of time with her grandmother, who lived in a small island between Sweden and Estonia called Hiiumaa. The island is known for its green nature and unpopulated areas and holds one of the top spots for the cleanest air in the world.

Growing up in Northern Europe, Eha never thought about the words “organic” and “clean beauty” – it was just “normal”. She used local, natural skincare products made from plants native to the Nordic lands, full of Nordic super antioxidant berries which have been used for skincare and health benefits for centuries.

At 17, Eha became one of the winners of the Miss Estonia beauty pageant. Shortly after, she won the Supermodel of the Soviet Union title and at 18 came to the United States and was top 4 of the Supermodel of the World competition.

This started many years of modeling and acting around the globe. Eha eventually settled down in New York City and finished her bachelors in Arts from SUNY, summa cum laude.

However, throughout traveling the world, Eha became more and more aware of the chemicals that especially in America are used in our food and also in skincare products. This prompted, after years of skincare research, Eha to start her own skincare brand, Viking Beauty Secrets, using the Nordic superberries as main ingredients, with the exception of the certified organic Face Scrub, which also uses Icelandic Black Volcanic Sand to draw out the impurities, while many scrubs in the US still use plastic microbeads, which harm our fragile marine life and later humans ingest them through food sources. And with so much confusion about “green” and “clean”, Eha went one step further, and have all of the Viking Beauty Secrets products  Greenlife Ecocert COSMOS certified.

Eha and her cousin, international swim champion Merle Liivand, who is also the Director of Sustainability of Viking Beauty Secrets, are also advocates for clean oceans and clean water. Eha made sure that Viking Beauty Secrets is a sustainable skincare company, which uses only green energy when manufacturing and uses glass bottles for the creams and recycled post-consumer material for the scrub tubes, with all packaging being 100% recyclable.

Eha is also a published songwriter and has won several awards as a filmmaker. She currently lives between Estonia, Florida, and New York City.
