In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Steve Kerschke, and Tim Benak sit down to discuss digital clutter. Digital clutter is like treating your devices as a junk drawer. You know how your phone or computer can start feeling sluggish after a while? Well, one reason for that could be digital clutter - all the random files, photos, and apps you accumulate over time. It can really cramp your style when you're trying to get stuff done or have some fun on your devices.

But here's the thing - having a cluttered digital space isn't just annoying, it can actually be risky for your security. So, it's a good idea to keep things organized and tidy. You can start by getting rid of things you don't need - like those old screenshots or duplicate files that are taking up precious space. And if there are apps you never use, uninstalling them is a great way to clear up some room too.

In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Steve Kerschke, and Melissa Anderson sit down to discuss giving and receiving feedback. So often, feedback is seen as a one-way street. But the truth is, it should be a two-way conversation. We discuss some tips on how to give and receive feedback in a more productive manner.

Constructive feedback helps to build stronger relationships with others. If you're looking for guidance on how to start the dialogue, we hope that you continue the conversation to make sure that our conversations are respectful, effective and kind.

In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Claire Thelen, and Tim Benak welcome Bob and Nancy Gardiner to the podcast. An otherwise-healthy Omahan, Bob suddenly lost all function below the shoulders. His paralysis resulted from an extremely rare neurological disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome.

The initial diagnosis was bleak, but after more than five years of perseverance and focused training, Bob has defied the odds. Now walking, driving, and participating in an intense functional fitness class multiple times a week, Bob shows that no mountain is too steep to climb, and that no goal is too lofty to reach.

You can learn more about the Gardiner's journey here.

“There is always going to be negativity around us, but we get to choose how we enter every situation. We can choose to be a positive, proactive force in the world. Or we can choose the opposite.”  -Molly Weisgram

In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Claire Thelen, and Tim Benak welcome Chris Maxwell to the podcast. On Valentine's day 2019, Chris was unexpectedly diagnosed with a severe case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. He was immediately airlifted to the hosptal, where he became a quadriplegic on a ventilator in less than a week.

Without any warning, Chris and his wife Molly embarked on a dangerous journey--one they traveled together but separately, forced into the roles of patient and caregiver. During their shattering year-long experience, they faced uncertainty, trauma, and incomprehensible mystery. They also experienced deep truth, growth, and transformation.

Chris sits down to share his story of recovery and hopefulness with us. If you'd like to learn more about his story, we would highly recommend his wife Molly's memoir, The Other Side of Us. You can find it here.

If you're interested in learning more about Chris' talents and business, check out his business, MaxStrat.

In this episode of Kintinu’d Conversations, Brad Dexter, Claire Thelen, and Tim Benak welcome Denise Shearer to the podcast. A catastrophic stroke threatened to destroy everything Mike and Denise Shearer had built together: Their home, their family, their life. In November of 2017, Mike Shearer was admitted to the ICU at Methodist Hospital in Omaha with pneumonia and complications from diabetes.

The following evening, Mike suffered a significant stroke and was rushed to Nebraska Medicine where he underwent a risky and life-saving craniectomy.. This procedure involved removing a large section of Mike's skull as well as a significant amount of brain tissue.

In addition to the complications from the stroke, Mike's heart became infected and required damaged heart valves to be removed and replaced with prosthetic ones.

One day after open heart surgery, Mike's body became extremely septic and he nearly lost his life.

Amazingly, Mike weathered all storms.

Mike's wife, Denise, sits down to discuss their journey, the impact of their community, and provides perspective through the lens of a loved one.

You can learn more about the Shearers journey here.
