On The Pulse

Welcome to my interview with Author, Podcaster & Speaker Susan Burrell.

I teach what I have personally learned and navigated in my life.  I have learned how to be with my dark side and to weed out the junk (thoughts & beliefs) that harms or no longer serves me.  I have lived it.  I have rediscovered myself after feeling that my heart and my life were shattered beyond repair, only to realize my true self - the one I was meant to be was hidden under the rubble and shards of a seemingly “broken” life."

Welcome to the second part of my interview with Reggie Williams, NFL Football Legend, Former Disney Executive and Author. What you get:

What you get:

00:00 - When to Quit…Never?! When you consider quitting, Reggie says, remember you never quit in a vacuum. Your decision to quit will always impact other people around you. Be it your team mates, collogues and the people that love you.

06:20 - Pain & My Biggest Challenge

11:25 - Are Pro-Athletes Good Managers?

14:20 - Key Elements of Resilience  Reggie’s three key elements of resilience: Everything starts with truth and authenticity. Being dedicated to the truth is key to being persistent in your endeavors. So, persistence is the second key. And thirdly, love is the underlying driver of anything we do – from birth to death.   A quote from Reggie’s Book: Part of the challenge in rebounding from any difficulty (…) is to turn a negative into a positive. Losing that Super Bowl strengthened my resolve to have an impact that went far beyond football. (…). Empathy. Humility. Passion. Integrity. Inspiration. Commitment. These were some of the characteristics, I believed, that needed to define me to the people of Cincinnati, more than tackles, sacks, and interceptions. It’s one thing to be a leader for one of the best teams in the NFL. But it became just as important, if not more so, to be a leader in our community. (C9 Transitions)

About Reggie Williams:  Reggie Williams is a former NFL linebacker and College Football Hall of Famer who was instrumental in building a sports-themed empire during his tenure as a Disney executive. During his fourteen years with the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams was honored as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for is community service, and later served on the Cincinnati city council—while active as a pro athlete. He also had stints as GM for the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League of American Football and as an NFL executive who established the first NFL Youth Education Town. A native of Flint, Michigan, he attended Southwestern High and Dartmouth College In so many ways, Reggie Williams has had the type of life that people dream of: he starred as an athlete, excelled with an Ivy League education, built a sports empire as part of an iconic corporate brand, achieved global impact as a public servant, and won major honors for his community work. Along the way, Williams glowed on the biggest stages alongside celebrities, business leaders, and social icons.

Welcome to the first part of my full conversation with Dr. Axel Müller, Head of Intergenerika, Swiss Generic Pharmaceutical Industry Association  What you get: 

00:00 Definition & Quality of Generics

06:25 Conflict of Interests & Drug Prices 

10:35 Reference Pricing

18:05 Big Pharma vs. Generics  

The Covid19 pandemic will give the vast global pharma market a huge boost. Already in 2019 its total value stood at 1.25 Trillion USD, expected to hit almost 1.7 Trillion by 2024. But what if drugs produced by the big brands such as Pfizer or Novartis are just too expensive for millions of people? Can the generic drug and biosimilar sector offer a solution to get affordable drugs to every single person that might need it? Whilst Dr. Axel Müller sees reference pricing as a huge threat to the entire pharma industry, he’s sill supporting generally lower and affordable drug prices. Outsourcing drug production – or any of the ‘active parts’ of drugs to countries such as India or China is the biggest threat to potential supply change bottlenecks.

Welcome to the full first part of my interview with Reggie Williams, NFL Football Legend, Former Disney Executive and Author. What you get:

00:00: Resilience – Nature or Nurture? Reggie Williams is the most resilient and strong person you can imagine! Every obstacle that was thrown into his path, he turned into a great opportunity for success.The key to facing any challenge is confidence. We should never think that a problem or an adversary is too big to confront or to succeed over.  

07:50 - Focus & Tough Choices He says we often have to make tough choices in order to stay focused on realizing one’s life dreams. At times that also means to say no to love or anything that may be a distraction in perusing ones’ path.

13:35 - Joining Disney

17:15 - Losing with Dignity & Moving Up There is power in losing to create something bigger and more meaningful. Losing an NFL game and still being the ‘hero’ of his community lead Reggie to immerse himself into giving back as a public servant.

22:45 - Racial Injustice Today & Yesterday

25:45 - Diversity in Leadership & Society

Digital assets had an amazing rally in the first 9 month of 2020, driven by many geo-political and economic insecurities. But what about 2021? Acceptance of cryptocurrencies is broadening globally. More and more professional investors are starting to invest in digital assets and the ‘space’ of Decentralized Finance – "DeFi" aka "DeFi Crypto" is starting to pose a long term threat to traditional banking models. A cheap way to invest into this ‘new asset class’ of digital currencies, is to go via Exchange Traded Products, Funds, Certificates. Instead of picking the coins individually, entering through these vehicles offers a diversified coin portfolio which potentially reduces the investment risk. Regulation of this asset class is key and there is a long way to go.

Looking back, what did you do all day during the weeks of the Covid19 lockdown? …Watched Netflix all day? …Organized dinner Parties via Zoom or Skype? …Produced some photo albums on line…or did you cook, eat and cook some more? Good fun!  But, perhaps you picked up some literature, a good book to read, to take you away from a frustrating lock-up-reality into another world?! I certainly did and one of the most wonderful books I read in a long time was: Perfectly Paired: The Love Affair Behind Silver Oak Cellars BY Bonny Meyer.

The reason why I felt like inviting Bonny on my show to talk about her book? Because, apart from being thoroughly touched by it, for me it was what I would call an ‘ALL IN ONE-BOOK’…. It is a memoir, a love story, a family saga, but also a non-fiction instruction for building and scaling a GOOD AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS together with your soul mate. Bonny’s book takes you through a plethora of emotions, makes you shed a tear one moment, and makes you laugh out loud the next. It is intimate, loving and mentoring in a genuine and generous way.

Bonny started Silver Oaks Vineries with her late husband Justin, when California’s Napa Valley had not yet reached its fame of producing world renounced wines. Silver Oaks focused on Cabernets Sauvignon and made it to what it is today…the KING OF NAPA VALLEY RED WINES. After selling the business in 2001 Bonny transitioned to become a successful investor. She’s the Principle of Meyer Family Enterprises dedicated to socially responsible investments, and in such supports businesses that help to ‘solve the world’s problems.

Her Key learnings: Know that whatever choice we make, has consequences. Choices should always be made with the intention to be as beneficial to others as possible.
