Today I am talking with Shola Richards. Shola is a best selling author of Go Together and Making Work Work, he is a corporate trainer, civility expert, and speaker whose life’s mission is an ambitious one: To end generations of suffering, simply by changing how we treat each other at work, at home and beyond. 

Shola is a father, husband, identical twin, and a self-proclaimed “kindness extremist”. 

Shola and I are talking about the lack of civility in our world, especially in the workplace. We’re talking about how to become more aware of how you treat people, and we’re talking about the need to restore kindness and civility into our everyday lives. 

Episode Highlights

• Our shared love of This or Something Better.

• Shola’s goal to change the world and how we treat each other at work, home, and beyond.

About Shola Richards

Shola Richards’ life’s mission is an ambitious one: To end generations of professional suffering, simply by changing how we treat each other at work. 

Shola is an advocate, a one-man counsel, and a humanitarian hardwired for positivity, who (ironically) speaks, coaches, consults, and authors books on the shadowy, often underground, and underestimated subject of workplace bullying, a pernicious reality that, when overlooked, corrodes trust, distorts communication, and ultimately usurps equity from the bottom line by using up a company’s most valuable resource: its people. 

His approach is to open eyes to the staggering price we pay for normalized, toxic behavior because we can’t address what we don’t see. His result is people equipped with tangible, doable solutions because we can’t accomplish what we can’t make actionable. His conviction is that everyone deserves a healthy work environment because the quality and meaning of our work suffer when we do.

Through his books, Go Together (https://amzn.to/2BpDix8) and Making Work Work (http://amzn.to/1YYdh8U) and featured articles that have reached readers in over 160 countries, and through his presentations with institutions that range from Silicon Valley businesses to the Department of Homeland Security, Shola is spearheading a timely revolution that teaches us how to protect the professionalism of our company cultures, the preciousness of our time, the strength of our talents, the dignity of ourselves, and the mutual respect of one another.

Today’s episode is with Ann Saks from FETCH Eyewear. You may know Ann from her designer tile business with retail and wholesale operations globally. But today, we are talking about Ann’s newest business, Fetch Eyewear, and her passion to alleviate the suffering of animals. 

FETCH eyewear was born from Ann’s desire to find affordable and stylish reading glasses.  Her journey into the eyewear business began when she lost an expensive pair of reading glasses just days after buying them. Finding very few options to replace them, Ann saw an opportunity, and true to her entrepreneurial spirit, she took it. 

Early on in creating FETCH, Ann decided to endow a family foundation to benefit animal rescue and to use FETCH to create an ongoing source of revenue for that foundation. Fetch donates 100% of the net proceeds from your purchase to support animal welfare through rescue, veterinary care, low-cost spay and neuter, and education in partnership with The Pixie Project. 

Today, Ann and I are talking about her many years of working as an entrepreneur, her passion for animals, how she is innovating at FETCH to continue the work of her foundation, and the importance of following your passion to make a change. 

Episode Highlights

• Ann’s Passion for Animals.

• How losing a pair of glasses was the beginning of FETCH eyewear.

• Founding of the Pixie Project and FETCH Eyewear.

• The circular relationship between people and pets.

• What contributed to Ann’s professional success.

• The evolution of FETCH. 

• The impact of the forest fires on animals.

• Work of The Pixie Project to help animals.

• Resources you can use to rescue animals.

• How to make an impact in your community.

About Ann Saks

Fetch founder Ann Sacks began the journey with the Fetch concept when she lost an expensive pair of reading glasses just days after buying them. Not one to be disappointed twice, she set out to find a better way. On this journey, she decided that she could design glasses for optical use as well as suns, sun readers, and prescription suns and deliver them at a fair price while supporting animal rescue through The Pixie Project.

Today’s interview is with Dr. Annie Fenn. In 2015, Dr. Fenn founded the Brain Health Kitchen, an evidence-based online resource about how and what to eat to resist cognitive decline. The Brain Health Kitchen Cooking School is the only school of its kind focused specifically on fending off Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Students learn which foods are most neuroprotective, which ones accelerate cognitive decline, and how to prepare foods using brain-friendly cooking techniques.

In this episode, Annie and I are talking about the importance of diet to prevent cognitive decline and how it’s not just something older individuals should be thinking about. She is sharing practical information on how you can change your diet and lifestyle to improve your brain health. This episode will provide you with a wealth of information to help you and your family members maintain healthy brain function for years to come. 

Episode Highlights

• Annie’s professional Journey from medicine to food. 

• What happens to the brain as we age. 

• The most important food for brain health: the MIND diet.

• The importance of the microbiome and gut health for brain health. 

• Age-specific behaviors for preventing cognitive decline.

• The importance of learning new skills as you age.

• How genetics impact your risk of cognitive decline.

• The difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia. 

• The connection between cardiovascular disease and dementia.

• Recommendations for preventing cognitive decline.

• Additional MIND diet foods.

• Vitamins and minerals for brain health.

About Dr. Annie Fenn

After practicing obstetrics and gynecology for more than 20 years, Annie realized that helping people change the way they eat was more effective at improving health than prescribing pills or procedures, so She traded her stethoscope for an apron and went back to school to study culinary arts in Mexico, Italy, and at the Culinary Institute of America.

When not developing recipes, writing, or teaching the Brain Health Kitchen method of cooking, Dr. Fenn enjoys hiking, cycling, skiing, fly-fishing, and foraging for mushrooms and huckleberries with her husband, sons, and dogs Orzo and Olive Oyl in her hometown of Jackson, WY.

About Staci

Doctor Anastacia “Staci” Whitman grew up in Holden, Maine, receiving her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Maine and her Dental Degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. She then went on to additional education in a General Practice Residency at the University of Massachusetts Hospital in Worcester, MA. It was during this residency that she grew to love to work with children and wanted to seek an opportunity to better children’s oral health and attitudes toward their smiles.

After visiting friends in Portland, Dr. Staci fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and made the move out west looking for a change of pace and a better lifestyle. She worked as a general dentist for two years before being accepted into Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU). There, she completed an additional two years of pediatric dental training, earning a certificate in pediatric dentistry from OHSU.

After experiencing the loss of her mother, Doctor Staci committed to taking a more whole body and holistic approach to life. She is committed to finding only the most up-to-date treatments and most non-toxic options for children and their families, all while offering education, support, and love to her patients' families.

Doctor Staci became a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry in 2012 and is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She is also involved in many organized dentistry groups, having served as President of the Oregon Association of Pediatric Dentistry and as a member of the Board in Multnomah Dental Society, as well as an active member of the American Dental Association, American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, Oregon Dental Association, the Holistic Dental Association, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and the American Association of Ozonotherapy.

When Doctor Staci is not making smiles more beautiful and healthy, she enjoys the amazing outdoor offerings of the Pacific Northwest. She loves to snowboard, run long distances, practice yoga, and dance, cook nutritious meals with her family, and bike around Portland and beyond with her husband, Josiah, and her two daughters, Sloan and Selma. She aspires to someday learn to juggle, author children’s books, open a Bed and Breakfast, and be a member of a band. All in good time!
