Survival: When your body breaks down and your mind needs to rest with Dave Haverty

60 going on 26!  Ken Johnson has more energy than most people half his age, which is a good thing because he plans to live for another 30-40 years! In 2022, Ken stepped down as CEO of @masmedicalstaffing after nearly twenty years at the helm. Just after 911, he and his team stumbled into the Healthcare Staffing space, but no one could have anticipated that the company would sell for nine figures two decades later. Their growth was 100% orgnanic - no mergers - no acquisitions - just 'brute force' and the willingess to embrace technology. In the early days Ken threw himself into his job, but 17 years ago his wife, Susan, confronted him about his drinking. 'It's the booze or it's me and the kids,' she said. She changed his life that day.   Ken went on to say, 'I quit drinking and it was hard - it was the hardest thing I've ever done.' 'The battle was psychological, but today my life is so much better.  Today is the happiest I've ever been.' In this conversation Ken and I talked about business, booze and life after selling his company.  I hope it's a source of inspiration for anyone that might be struggling with an addiction or perhaps looking for a meaningful way to spend their time after moving on from a business or a career. #healthcare #nursing #healthcareworkers #travelnurse #technology #uber #alcohol #drinking #opportunity #hobbies #painting #guitar #newhampshire #acadianationalpark❤️ #maine #usnavy #coaching #leadership #sale #communication #workethic #hardwork #belief #ceo #privateequity #founder #living

Best selling author and Executive Advisor, Scott Edinger; along with his long time friend and Fraternity Brother, Jay Brunetti, joined me to discuss everything from Trailer Parks to Leadership and all sorts of stuff in between. Scott's path was not an easy one.  His Mom left home when he was 8 and he never knew his Dad, but with the support of a few good people in his life and a fair amount of therapy, Scott worked hard to acquire the skills and experience that allows him to advise Fortune 50 companies today. Check out 'The Growth Leader' if you want to understand how leadership, strategy and sales ought to intersect in a company.  Edinger also explores the human side of business and dives deeply into how beliefs, behaviors and connection shape a company culture.   Enjoy! scottedinger.com hirealliance.com @jaybrunetti @scottedinger Scott's bio: https://www.scottedinger.com/about The Growth Leader: https://www.scottedinger.com/books Articles Scott has written for Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Chief Executive: https://www.scottedinger.com/articles Where to find Scott:  https://www.scottedinger.com/

Yuriy Margolin, CEO & Owner at Moving Sales Professionals and Host of 'Let's Talk Moving Podcast', joined me to discuss just about everything! Yuiy migrated to the US from Ukraine at 11 years old.  His English was limited and his parents did not have much money, but his work ethic, determination and beliefs helped him build a life full of meaning. Yuriy is Jewish, born in Ukraine, raised in the US and his first language was Russian.  His background and unique blend of objectivity and empathy, allowed us to have a healthy conversation about delicate topics like war, immigration and religion.  We also managed to fit in some sales talk in between.   I learned a lot and hope you enjoy. #ukraine #israel #russia #palestine #sales #moving @yuriymargolin

Who's repsonsible for your burnout?   What can be done about it? David Greenwood, author of, 'Overcoming Burnout-Real-life Strategies for Burnout Prevention and Recovery' shared some ideas with me. Greenwood works one-on-one with busy professionals that have ADHD or burnout, and in some cases both.  He helps them thrive in business and in life, lower their stress and minimize the distractions that are challenging them. Together they build the systems they require to achieve the balance they desire in life. David's also hosts a popular ADHD podcast called, 'Overcoming Distractions-thriving with Adult ADHD,' which happens to be the name of his first book. Hope you enjoy our conversation.

'You've got several weeks to two months if you do nothing.' Ken Gustin had acute myeloid leukemia.  His chances of survival were estimated at 20% That's what the doctors told him in November 2016 and yet seven years later, at roughly sixty years old, Ken is thriving. How did he survive?  How did he crawl out of financial turmoil?  How did he reinvent his career later in life? He surrendered.  He found his purpose. Listen to this inspiring story about how cancer helped this husband & dad find a renewed sense of purpose and happiness in his life #cancer #leukemia #danafarber #holyunionsisters #calledtobe #family #faith

It’s a joke!!!  Prior to the pandemic, the typcial office was anything but a ‘tight ship’ It was the opposite! Conpanies had been transformed in country clubs, game rooms and meditation retreats; with stocked kitchens, beer carts and dogs & cats running amuck All in the name of employee engagement, retention and happiness!!!  The result: People LOVED their ‘jobs’, BUT they weren’t working!!! Then the Pandemic hit!!!  The world was coming to end! Wait…No it wasn’t! PPP loans saved the day They were handed out like Candy to companies that didn’t even need the money!!! And? They spent it foolishly!!!  ———————————————— Now the chickens have come home to roost!!!  And although employers enabled this mess — employees are just as complicit in it This is my take on the ‘back to the office’ vs. ‘remote’ saga. Listen now. @JCE Consulting #management #sales #hybrid #remote #ai #zoom #msteams #employeeengagement

Dina Gray’s daughter, Emilia, was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months old and heavily reliant on behavioral therapy.  When schools went fully remote in March of 2020, Emilia’s development immediately started regressing.  As time passed, Dina’s concerns began to grow about the lack of support available to her daughter and other families with Autistic children. It wasn’t until Emilia aged-out the therapy program she’d been in that Dina met her now Clinical Partner, Kerri Brown. Dina was drawn to Kerri from the get-go, but when she learned that Kerri had experience working with older children with Autism, the idea for ABA Helps was born - ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. Today, Dina and Kerri provide in-home therapy services to children and young adults on the autism spectrum. They work closely with clients and their families in their natural environment to develop and reinforce functional communication and behavior skills that enhance independence. This episode will drop December 20th on Apple Podcasts. #autism #behavioraltherapy #independence #abahelps
