Medicating Normal Documentary Discussion | About Lynn Cunningham

Award winning filmmaker, and co-director/producer of Medicating Normal, Lynn Cunningham produced, directed and edited films/TV for PBS and the History Channel in the 1980s and 1990s. A Quiet Revolution: The Emergence of Alternative Education in Japan; Twenty Years of Co-Education; A Family in Progress; An Innovator’s Story, Behind the Scenes, Walter Reuther & the Birth of the UAW, Tadao Ando, Butoh: A Body on the Edge of Crisis, etc).

Twenty years ago, as Lynn was becoming a parent herself, she witnessed with crushing despair the dramatic transformation of a beloved family member. Once a bright, high functioning student-athlete having graduated from an elite college, Lynn’s relative had become in a few short years– a terrified, suicidal shell of her former self— diagnosed with serious mental illness. Putting their faith in the best psychiatric standard of care at the time in the late 90s, Lynn and her family were initially reassured by the relief and stability provided by medication and therapy. After a ten-year period, however, one medicine had become ten, and income from a vibrant, self-sufficient career was replaced with monthly disability payments. Unable to provide an answer to her relative’s persistent self-doubt, “Is everything going to be OK?”” Lynn began searching for answers. She joined with her filmmaking partner Wendy Ractliffe, embarking on five years of research into the complex world of mental health treatment. After discovering Robert Whitaker’s Anatomy of an Epidemic, they interviewed 100s of psychiatric patients and consulted with scores of experts across the country about their experiences. A personal quest to help one suffering individual turned into a mission to tell an untold story. In Medicating Normal, Lynn and Wendy began to piece together a stunning new perspective on the safety and efficacy of psychiatric drugs and society’s over reliance on them to relieve pain and suffering.

Leadership speaker, writer, and coach Tim Kight tells truths you need to hear in this episode. As he says, “you need to be emotionally agile…except most people are fragile.”

This Entrepreneur Perspectives episode features Tim Kight, founder of Focus 3.

We discuss: “don’t be an amateur at your life”, emotional agility, dealing with traffic, predictability, mental toughness, discipline, focus, and self-talk.

More about Tim Kight:

A lifelong student of elite performance—Tim founded Focus 3 in the mid-’80s in Southern California.

At UCLA, Tim witnessed John Wooden win his 9th and 10th national championships. This unprecedented achievement by Coach Wooden and the UCLA basketball team triggered a great curiosity in Tim as to what distinguishes elite performers from average performers, a quest he has been pursuing ever since.

Through diligent study and research—as well as application in the real world—Tim discovered the power of The Performance Pathway: Leaders create the culture that drives the behavior that produces results. Tim then built actionable, high-impact systems for developing exceptional leaders, strengthening organizational culture, and equipping people to perform at their best.

That is the heartbeat of Focus 3. (source: Focus 3 website)

“We’re more connected now through technology than we’ve ever been — and less connected with the people in our lives.” -Michael Brody-Waite

In this Entrepreneur Perspectives episode, we chat with Michael Brody-Waite, author of the book, “Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts” and a TED Talk speaker with over 3 million views.

We discuss: connections, the impact of one negative comment, tribes, living with a mask, going to the belly of the beast, and “what if the worst thing about you could become the best thing about you”.

More about Michael:

In my active addiction, I hid my true self behind so many masks. It was exhausting. In order to get clean, I had to master a process that has saved the lives of millions of addicts all over the world. A process, that taught me how to live Mask-Free.

For the last 17 years, I have developed the skill of living Mask-Free and used it to excel in my career, found an Inc. 500 company, give a viral TED talk, write a book and marry my soulmate.

Now, my mission is to equip you with a proven system for living Mask-Free so that you can be your true self without apology, shame or regret and absolutely thrive in work and life. (source: MBW’s website)

During the pandemic, we had the fantastic opportunity to speak with the inspirational David Meltzer. In that conversation, we talked about many things that included: communicating with your team during a difficult time. Whether it is dealing with a worldwide quarantine, a housing crisis, a stock market crash, or a possible recession, it is critical that leaders talk with their team — about everything from guidance, positivity, listening, understanding, and direction. But how and specifically what about? That’s where this episode comes in.

Many “experts” and economic indicators suggest a recession is on its way or maybe by the time you are hearing this, we’re already in a recession, or maybe it’s something else that is creating an obstacle — either way, we hope this dialogue with David Meltzer helps anyone understand how to deal with tough times as an organization.

About our guest: David Meltzer is a speaker, author, entrepreneur, and Co-Founder of Sports 1 Marketing. David formerly served as CEO of the renowned Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency, which was the inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire.

His life’s mission is to empower over 1 billion people to be happy! This simple yet powerful mission has led him on an incredible journey to provide one thing: Value! In all his content and communication that’s exactly what you’ll receive.

After interacting with so many people who know David (and now David himself) it’s clear David is an individual you want to surround yourself with. David may not be in your inner circle, but there are ways to have him in your life: podcasts, books, and social media. It’s why we feature incredible people like David on our podcasts. And this episode specifically gets into talking with your team during a difficult time — as we think about what may be in front of us and outside of our control: a possible recession.
