The pandemic which has adversely affected the United States and the rest of the world is creating panic, chaos and depression at unprecedented rates. Harsha Dandamudi has constructed simple and dynamic programs for physical and mental transformations that not only help improve efficiency and productivity in the workplace, but to also increase one’s own longevity, health and fitness.

    Season 6 Episode 7 (The Murals Of Josue Baltezar)

    Artist, muralist, and good friend from a while back, Josue Baltezar comes to Catanation Studios.

    Josue is a passionate artist who got a big break during the pandemic. Josue has been given the chance to teach art to other upcoming artists, and he has even created incredible murals in San Diego, one of which was at his own High School. Josue and I met through Cafeina, and its so cool to see how far we both came.

    I can't wait for what next project Josue will be doing next, but as he says in this podcast, stay tuned!

    Dr. Francisco Escobedo: Innovation LIVE!

    Dr. Francisco Escobedo: Innovation LIVE!

    Despite his passion for service, Dr. Francisco Escobedo never planned on being an educator. Growing up in New York City, he always dreamed of being a police officer. After attending Yale, Escobedo moved to San Diego to realize his dream. 

    Despite his lifelong dream and aspirations to move up in the force, a chance arrest of a teenage boy changed everything for him. With encouragement from his patrol partner, Escobedo realized he wanted to serve and help young people before they ever entered the criminal justice system. 

    Years later, Escobedo is now the superintendent of Chula Vista Elementary School District in San Diego, where he’s promoting innovation through partnerships. Prior to the pandemic, Chula Vista established Stations across San Diego to inspire innovation and creativity among students. 

    However, when the pandemic hit, the Chula Vista team felt the lessons learned in the stations were too great to not provide them in some way during distance learning. 

    In this episode, Escobedo shares not only his personal story but how Chula Vista is bringing innovation into students’ homes through Innovation LIVE!

    “We're all put here on earth for a purpose. My purpose is to be someone else's eyes.” —Jerome Avery

    Jerome has been able to “connect the dots” of how his life experiences prepared him for his purpose. Here he shares with Jon and Bryan all of the influences that impacted the path he’s on today. 

    He passionately shares the inspiring stories of Paralympians who overcome daily life challenges that we take for granted. His vision for finding “selfless” elites to stand alongside these amazing athletes motivates his work.

    (2:54) Jerome’s early life, his introduction to track and field, and discovering the gift of speed…

    (8:52) What happens when you have supportive parents, a good work ethic, and natural talent…

    (11:09) “I have the slumdog millionaire life.” Jerome shares how his competitive experiences on the track prepared him to know what his runners needed to hear.

    (13:30) Looking back at influences… community college, Tommy Smith, and the Olympic dream.

    (16:44) Happy to be at the trials but not quite prepared mentally…

    (18:24) An invite to the Olympic training center changed everything.

    (20:14) “...in order for me to be a great guide runner, I had to have success through selflessness.”

    (22:58) An opportunity to go to Athens, Greece as a guide runner…

    (25:49) 50,000 pairs of eyes, a mistake, and a silver medal…

    (29:46) “Those journeys from me being an individual athlete kick in.”

    (31:47) Different classifications mean different challenges and techniques.

    (35:47) Some of the athletes Jerome has trained and the places he has run…

    (37:28) The goal of being a contract guide runner and matching guides with athletes from other countries…

    (39:18) Being in it for the right reasons…

    (43:36) How do Paralympians want to be seen and treated?

    (49:16) Paralympians versus Olympians, can they be compared?

    (51:35) How is Covid impacting training?

    (58:49) Training as usual…

    (59:08) The challenges of having enough guide runners… and Jerome’s foundation, “Guiding Lives.”

    (1:02:17) “You can't tell me that in the United States, there're only three or four vision-impaired athletes that are elite.” Jerome addresses the need for a growing awareness.

    (1:05:23) What does Go Be More mean to you?

    Jon's Kidney Disease Story (Ep 31)

    Jon's Kidney Disease Story (Ep 31)

    We tell the complete story of Jon's chronic kidney disease experience, from diagnosis to experimental stem cell surgery:

    Just One Challenge
    - How Jon feels the Just One Challenge is opening up the opportunity for him to achieve his goals by ensuring he gets started every day
    - Why obstacles like running in the rain are best overcome by having a minimal commitment

    Pre-Diagnosis Memories
    - Jon describes the "energy spells" he would experience as a child
    - His first indication of an issue with his kidneys, when he didn't pass the urine test as part of his physical exam for the US Naval Academy
    - He had no other indications of a problem for roughly the next decade
    - Jon's friend Moses, a chef at the Olympic Training Center, who went through a kidney transplant and Jon's desire to donate his kidney at that time

    Diagnosis to Surgery
    - Jon describes experience of receiving his diagnosis of a kidney problem from the doctors at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA
    - The confusion he felt being told he was half-way toward kidney failure
    - His decision to delay his biopsy until after the Olympic Trials that summer and the effect his diagnosis had on his mental state entering that competition
    - His official diagnosis of of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) at the end of 2008
    - Why Jon credits being so physically fit with keeping him from needing dialysis or a transplant much sooner
    - Why it's hard for Jon to talk about how he handled his diagnosis in the years following
    - How his priorities shifted and the effect that had on many of Jon's decisions, and the lack of stability he had in his life at that time
    - Jon's next two years, when he became a preschool teacher for a year and was close to quitting the sport 

    Stem Cell Surgery
    - How Jon heard about the experimental stem cell surgery to treat FSGS
    - The role Brent Concolino and the Rock Institute have played in Jon's life
    - Drs Elliot Lander, Mark Berman, and Jackie See, their backgrounds and the roles they played in his procedure
    - How Jon's particular procedure used stem cells from his own fat (and why that was tricky given how little fat he had to draw from!)
    - What some of the risks of using stem cells were, and the potential benefits that led Jon to decide to do it
    - The actual details of the procedure
    - How Jon felt and progressed in the six to twelve months after the procedure

    Post-Surgery Status
    - Jon's latest test in September 2019 which showed that he was doing great, 8 years after the procedure and 20 years after his first indication of a kidney problem as a high school senior
    - The limited data points available indicate that at a minimum, Jon's kidney disease did not progress along a typical path and his stem cell treatment is one of the few potential reasons why
    - We cannot say that stem cells reversed or cured Jon's kidney disease, only that we believe it is an area where more research should be focused
    - Our goal of raising awareness and funds for research into stem cells as a viable treatment for chronic kidney disease by telling Jon's story wherever possible
    - Chronic kidney disease affects one in seven people and over 100,000 people get diagnosed every year in the US
    - The importance for all of us to get tested and catch it early if we are unfortunate enough to be diagnosed
    - The reality for listeners interested in getting Jon's treatment that stem cell treatments are, at the time of this publication, banned in the US and undergoing a drawn out review by the FDA
    - And finally, an official disclaimer: everything discussed in this podcast is based on Jon's experience and opinions, and has not been reviewed or endorsed by any of the doctors or other people who played a role in Jon's experience. Any errors or miscommunications reside with us and not them.
