Coffee with Claire

We are all living in an age of the internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence and data security.

What is the advantage of marrying technology and healthcare?

When it comes to our health, using these technologies and concepts to improve and enhance our daily lives only seems natural. So what does it take to have wearable bio sensors a part of our day-to-day lives? What advantage is it to have all of our health history in a digital form?

Our guest is Pete Ianace, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Vital Tech Innovations, and President of ComCam International. Pete caught us up with the impact of technology on the future of healthcare. Pete knows technology and he knows healthcare. Tune in to hear the latest on the intersection of these two fields.

How many of you, as business owners, make it a point to laugh every day? Or how many of you get mad at your employees for laughing too loud or having a good time at work?

Did you know that laughter at work is one of the best ways to develop creative thinking? Did you know that employees who enjoy their work environment are more loyal to the company, creating less turnover and they call in sick less?

Aren’t those big contributors to your company’s productivity and profitability?

Maybe you should be looking just as much at the laugh lines on your employee’s faces as you do to the bottom line of your P&L statements! On this episode of Coffee with Claire, our guest is public speaker and author Joel Zeff. Joel has made it his mission to remind corporations that fun and passion are pathways to success.

Stay tuned to learn more about his take on speaking, teamwork and leadership viewed through the lens of mindful playfulness!

The mindset of an entrepreneur is their strongest asset. It’s their imagination that dreams up the idea, their strategic thinking and planning that allows the plan to unfold, and their determination and will power that gets them through the uncharted waters. It’s patience and persistence that keeps them going.

However, in this fast-paced world in which we live, we don’t always allow ourselves down time, we can forget to slow down and recharge our batteries. So, how do we, as entrepreneurs, keep ourselves moving forward at the speed of light, while also taking care of ourselves and get balanced?

That’s where mindfulness steps in. John Edmonson, Director of Wellness and Life Coach at Healing Springs Ranch, has a fascinating approach to mindfulness and it’s end goal. In today’s episode, John will answer these questions and more.

On today’s episode of Coffee With Claire we are learning about craft beer!

Have you ever had a bad customer experience? Odds are you have. Fact is, a lot of us tend to run into some rough customer service from time to time. And usually it's understandable, but it's never acceptable. And when it comes to poor customer service, the problems don't start with your customers - they start with your employees. Just ask Chris-James Cognetta. He's a consumer experience expert, and today on a brand new episode of Coffee with Claire, he's sitting down with Claire to talk about how customer service can be tailored at a management level, what that can mean for your employees, and how you can shift your thinking to have a customer-focused business at every level!

Like everything else, the wine industry has been impacted by changes in demographics, technology, and budgets. It’s not necessary to travel to France anymore to get high quality French wines. The challenge is, how to get the wines in the hands of the consumers to maximize the quality, minimize the time, and fit into their budget?

The wine world is changing from wholesale to direct sales. The rapid consolidation of grocery, retail and wholesalers is creating a narrower path to market, especially for small wineries and limited production wines. The future opportunity for fine wine producers is to sell direct from the wineries to the consumers. But how do they find those distribution points?

Join Claire and her guest, Rashmi Malhotra, as Rashmi explains how one of the world’s leading family-owned luxury fine wine companies has taken their 56 years of winery experience, leveraged education, technology and their vision for the future, to create a side opportunity like no other. Stay tuned and learn about Boisset wineries, and how they are bringing their quality wines to a home near you! #coffeewithclaire #wine #boissetwines

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet? Our skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensation of touch, heat and cold. And this week on a brand new episode of Coffee with Claire, we're welcoming Sue Moore back to the show to educate us on the importance of skincare and help us understand in practical terms some of the most common questions and misconceptions around caring for your skin.

This episode features Claire's interview with entrepreneurs Sungwoo Chun of Adpop and Jonathan Kim of TechMillennial.
