When the subject is leadership, business podcasts and their expert guests often focus on theory, the textbook learnings of what exemplary business leadership is supposed to entail.  I can offer your listeners a much more entertaining and informative segment based on real life examples of exemplary leadership in action.  In my book "21 Lessons Learned in Leadership", I gathered 21 individual leadership in action stories, true to life experiences offered by professional people in real business situations.  These stories are relevant, practical, and easily identifiable for anyone wishing to improve their business skill set.  These stories and their outcomes are the foundation of exemplary leadership in action.  Your listeners will appreciate the recognition of situations that will have them thinking of their own challenges, and will also have them tuning in for more useful answers.  Leadership in Action is Leadership Defined!

Our country now depends on imports of two million tons of natural rubber from five Asian countries, China and Vietnam among them, without capacity to produce it now for American producers of 40,000 products that depend on it.   The Defense Department states that Natural Rubber is a strategic material that is vital to our national security, yet we are vulnerable to disruption by China, my ag enterprise will focus on building capacity to current and future needs of this vital commodity.   Along with growing two plant species that offer a high quality natural rubber we will grow many other species of value as fiber, food, and medicinals.    Plant material left over will be used to make BioCoal briquettes to replace coal as a clean burning biofuel.    As a Vietnam vet who served with the Navy, and later in the Army, I still keep the oath I took to serve our country, and to defend it against enemies, foreign and domestic, building a natural rubber industry, along with other vets looking to get back into the civilian world, and homeless folk, is my way to help make America Great Again.

Spectrewaves Paranormal Laynee and Don

Hi,

We have a story for your podcast recently captured a full length with face features, man ghost in a cemetery while conducting a paranormal investigation we wanted to reach out to you about some Extreme Paranormal Evidence we experienced in a Haunted Cemetery. Our names are Laynee and Don Archer we call ourselves Spectrewaves Paranormal, there are only two of us in our group, we have been investigating together since 2006, but both of us have always been very passionate about finding answers on where energy goes once we die. Laynee is a Sensitive, she can pick the spot out where they think they will capture the most Paranormal Evidence on their hunts. Don and Laynee have acquired the skills to use and interpret the scientific tools that they use at every Paranormal Investigation they conduct This story is just in time for Halloween for your listeners!!!! On September 18, 2021 Spectrewaves, Laynee and Don of Oak Forest, Illinois went to Forest Home Cemetery & German Waldheim Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois USA. The Moon was full, Spectrewaves conducted a Paranormal Investigation. First, before jumping to the paranormal evidence here’s a little history on Forest Home Cemetery & German Waldheim Cemetery. The land before it was a cemetery was burial grounds of the Native American of the Potawatomi Tribe. The German Waldheim was incorporated in 1873, & Forest Home Cemetery was incorporated in 1876, in 1969 the two cemeteries officially merged, and it was named Forest Home, which is the English translation of the German word Waldheim. Thousands of immigrants living in Chicago whose deceased were not welcome in Chicago cemeteries were buried here. The non-sectarian policies of the cemeteries, their location, their non-denominational nature, and the significant number of fraternal and union plots made these cemeteries the burial place of choice for a wide range of individuals. After Laynee & Don from Spectrewaves reviewed the Paranormal Evidence Captured on September 18, 2021. They captured a man in a photo, but no man was present, this photo was taken by the 1.5-million-dollar Mausoleum surrounded by huge columns. Laynee and Don of Spectrewaves Paranormal always take at least three or more pictures in one setting, that way you can compare the photos, to make sure what you think is paranormal is really paranormal, and most importantly debunk if it appears in every photo!!! After reviewing the other photos in the same session, no other picture has what we think is a man present. It seems he has a paperboy hat on, with suspenders along with a bag, looking as if it’s his work tools. The Man seems to be in his mid-40's. His features are very defined and there’s no mistaking there is someone in the photo, His body is somewhat transparent. Laynee and Don of Spectrewaves Paranormal have tried to debunk this photo but we can’t. The features of the man are very defined, and we believe this image to be a paranormal capture. Below is some of the Evidence on video we captured at Oak Home Cemetery that I wrote a little about for your consideration. Spectrewaves Laynee and Don Paranormal Investigation that night at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park was very active!!! The Paranormal interactions, while conducting a Paranormal Investigation our Spirit box which fast sweeps AM/ FM Radio frequencies to allow Spirits to communication with us, a name was spoken in the Chapel "Rich Malloff" along with a Spirit telling us to take picture we will see him, and a boy saying Hi to his mom. Plus more: the video Link is below Another Paranormal strange encounter that night that Spectrewaves Laynee & Don received was they had a Paranormal Figure crawling and rolling on the ground, in between the gravestones. They captured this entity on their 3D Mapping Camera called a SLS Kinect. The video is below: De Angela was another name Spectrewaves received on the spirit box along with a spirit telling us "30 steps." Spectrewaves Laynee and Don's Mel Meter kept spiking with high readings, this device detects electrical energy, a spirit took credit for spiking their device telling us though the spirit box. Along with stating "yes" they will allow us to see a spirit on the 3D mapping camera which was in the last video. The video Below is where you can Hear De Angelas name. Whether you are a believer in the Paranormal or not, this evidence sure puts you in the mood for the Halloween Season!!! Along with giving you some thought on life.

Healthy Fashion: The Deeper Truths
Amy Nordhues
Prayed Upon is the story of one woman’s escape from the abuse of a respected, church-going psychiatrist. Amy reaches out to Dr. Dolion for help with depression, but instead of providing healing, he leads her down a path of deception and betrayal. His office, which initially feels like a sanctuary, becomes a psychological prison, one from which Amy will have to fight to free herself.
 
Prayed Upon, a true story depicts Amy’s journey from victim to thriving child of God. Her brutal honesty provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills; beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the under-reported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.
 
This story captured nationwide attention. I will include a couple of news clips.

For your upcoming stories, please consider Dyester Corp and Domespaces by Barry Sendach, a line of eco-friendly outdoor structures that span glamping, camping, dining, weddings and corporate events, with innovative 'Domespaces,' 'Yurtspaces,' and 'Moduspaces' encompassing domes, yurts, modular bathrooms and kitchens, tailored to different types of lifestyles. Regarding current Brian Laundrie news, Barry Sendach, founder of the company says "If he has a geodesic dome that he covers up in the wilderness, Brian should be able to hide indefinitely if he is a true survivor. The dome will protect him from the elements and afford him the luxury of safety from the outside."  Barry is available to discuss the following:
 
-The macro picture of how domes are popping up worldwide and where his company fits in

-Are domes and 'van life' the future of living spaces with prices of homes skyrocketing?

-His response to Brian Laundrie being out in the wilderness and how his products speak to this

-How Domespaces answer every glamper's and camper's needs in terms of amenities, remote lifestyle, nature's best and an incredible view

-How the customizable dome selection process works- build your own dome and choose colors and materials to adapt to personal lifestyle habits

-How to create the perfect wedding or corporate event using domes as an experience

Launching in 2017, Barry broke into the outdoor business with shipping container homes and alternative uses for the containers. He found a niche in products that complimented the container business, and thus the domes were born. He says. "There has been an uptick in sales since the pandemic. Everything from the way people live, work, shop, educate has changed, including the way people vacation. There is a worldwide demand to be outside and the domes offer an inexpensive way to live in nature, while enjoying the comforts of home in a cool structure. With home prices reaching all time highs and work being flexible as office presence is not mandatory, people of all ages and economic levels are leaving urban areas in search of low-cost housing with safe environments. Domes are catching on in all climates and terrains due to their versatility and size availability."

Domes are ideal for special events like weddings, corporate meetings, trade shows, immersive theaters and large scale event planners are dressing up these domes for experiential events. Seeing a dramatic spike in the amount of campgrounds in the US and launching glass and PVC domes, Domespaces carries one of the largest varieties in the world for outdoor living. The company offers an array of accessories used in the domes and offers secondary market items including fully functional bathrooms and kitchens, along with second level spaces or lofts that enlarge the space using the same footprint.

Taylor Draper, CEO and co-founder of INHERENT can relate and talk to many , as he has dealt with his own struggles with depression, Opening up about feelings through fashion, Draper is offering everyone to walk in his shoes, and suit, literally.

Taylor Draper is the CEO and co-founder of INHERENT: custom made menswear that offers personal styling with a mental health mission. Built on Draper’s own struggles with depression, INHERENT designs modern-day “suits of armor” that awaken the inner confidence to battle anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Following a troubled childhood in Anchorage, Alaska, Draper reached the age of 15 weighing over 300 pounds and was diagnosed with clinical depression. At 16, he and his mother relocated to Colorado Springs, where Draper found the courage to make a fresh start and get healthy - both physically and mentally. A natural entrepreneur, he left home at the earliest opportunity to establish a website and graphic design company at age 18, where he learned the basics of business-building, marketing, and brand development. In 2017, after years of demanding 60-hour work weeks, Draper found himself battling crippling self-doubt, struggling with weight gain, and facing divorce. In order to save himself and his marriage, Draper sought healing and support through extensive counseling and found confidence in the most surprising of places: his wardrobe. “I realized that caring for myself and my appearance gave me the confidence to show up to counseling appointments, helping me build strength to pick up the pieces of a broken marriage and begin to repair.” 

Draper established the brand INHERENT which started as an online custom suit store where men could shop affordable luxury styles in the comfort of their own home. Today, their flagship store is open in Colorado Springs and the company advances men’s mental wellness through their non-profit: Foundation by Inherent. The Foundation by Inherent is creating programs, resources, and events to change the face of men’s mental wellness. A portion of all sales made, and employee’s time gets put directly into the Foundation. The larger goal for Draper is normalizing feelings of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt while sparking honest conversation around mental health, ultimately giving men the confidence and courage to speak out. 

“My mission will not be complete until phrases like ‘walk it off’ or ‘man up’ are redefined in our vocabulary to mean that a man is in touch with his feelings, and can communicate them in a healthy way. Every man’s first instinct should be to open up about feelings of overwhelm or depression without shame, guilt, or fear.” Through Inherent, Draper helps men build fully functional, versatile wardrobes that awaken confidence and authentic self-expression. The company also partners with local and national organizations working to empower individuals and communities to speak openly about mental health. A fan of golf, MMA, Jiu Jitsu, and Formula 1, Draper recharges by playing golf and spending time with his family. Learn more at https://thisisinherent.com.

Andréa Bernholtz

As the fashion design/manufacturing landscape shifts toward a steadfast focus on environmental impact, SWIMINISTA Founder Andréa Bernholtz stands out as an example of modern entrepreneurship at its best. The Rock & Republic Co-Founder and serial mompreneur is pioneering a better swimwear experience, complete with fully adjustable, personalized fits in sizes A-DD that offer ultra-flattering support for every unique body. What’s more, the brand’s mindful production methods help to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint, resulting in a consciously crafted product that shoppers can feel great about. This Earth Day, Bernholtz shares her proactive approach to building a business that prioritizes the future of our planet all year long. 

“‘Earth Day is everyday’ should be the motto for all entrepreneurs across every industry in 2021,” says Bernholtz. “The best way to maintain a strong focus on environmental impact is to create a sustainable model from the ground-up, built around eco-friendly values that support a thriving future for our next generation.”

United States

California native Andréa Bernholtz is the serial mom-preneur and fashion powerhouse behind the eco-conscious SWIMINISTA brand. Known for co-founding the luxury denim line Rock & Republic in 2002, she helped to transform the company into a celebrity favorite and globally recognized name offering cosmetics, accessories, and clothing. In 2015, she became the CEO of Titan Industries, adding high-fashion footwear to her resume. Her latest venture features chic swimwear that combines her love of fashion, swimming, and the environment.

“I have never been able to find a swimsuit that fits just right,” explains Bernholtz. “If it holds me up, it looks like a sports bra or too old-fashioned. Otherwise, it doesn’t provide the right support and I pop out all the time!” 

In 2019, after speaking with hundreds of women experiencing the same issues, Bernholtz set out to create the solution herself, co-founding the SWIMINISTA collection. Based on her previous work at global lifestyle brand Rock & Republic and first-hand experience with the waste-filled fashion industry, she set out to not only build a better suit but also a better design process. The result is a collection of ultra-comfortable swimwear featuring a soft, luxurious nylon fabric made from post-consumer plastics. Figure-flattering tops, bottoms, and one-pieces can be mixed and matched, offering timeless silhouettes in adjustable, customized fits designed to inspire confidence from size A to DD.

The SWIMINISTA online boutique also makes the shopping experience a breeze. A personalized sizing guide helps customers easily find the right suit for their unique body. SWIMINISTA’s convenient “Try At Home” solution eliminates the soul-destroying try-on process. Customers can choose a selection of suits to test in the comfort and privacy of home, and - true to the company’s environmental values - all orders arrive in earth-friendly recycled, compostable packaging.

When Bernholtz isn’t perfecting the SWIMINISTA line, she can be found spending time with her daughter or sharing industry insights with various publications like US Weekly’s “Fashion Police.” Passionate about the planet, she also regularly coordinates community beach clean-ups and gives time to organizations working to protect the environment, such as Heal the Bay, Oceania, and The Galapagos Conservancy.
