The Intern Whisperer

S7 Ep. 297 Dr. Daniel Pavlik Jr. - Holistic vs. Western Healthcare & the Future of “Healthycare”

I was in a car accident back in November 2023 and had to seek medical treatment for whiplash. I was referred to Pavlik Center for Health and Wellness and met Dr. Jae and also Dr. Dan Jr. (most of the docs go by Dr. and their first name). 
Dr. Dan is an expert in his field of chiropractic care. His 5 words that describe him are “Laid Back, Born to Heal.”  On this episode we talked about the use of laser and light therapy, maybe x-ray vision that allows a person to be scanned with x-ray glasses rather than an MRI or X-Ray machine. He also shared the most common misconceptions about chiropractic care and dispels those fears with truth. 
Tune in to hear more about his thoughts of what Healthy Care looks like now and what treatment might look like in 2030.  His thought leader is his father, Dr. Dan Pavlik, Sr., who founded Pavlik Center who encouraged him during his career journey to Think Outside the Box and helped him develop a mindset of providing the best care possible to his patients.

S7 Ep. 296 Michelle Natalya Moore - Sustaining High Performance Without Burnout

I met Michelle Moore at a Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship networking event in 2023. She shared a story about how she came from Canada and was looking for a group that helped women in tech become more confident in their knowledge. She is a natural storyteller and listeners you won’t be disappointed. Tune in to hear her story how she initially wanted to be a spy, why she changed her mind, switched her career path, and embraced cultural diversity. 
One of her favorite authors, Arwana Hayashi (The Art of a True Move) shared  "The body is our primary way of knowing and being in the world. Through the body, we can access deeper levels of awareness and insight. Michelle mentioned Cal Newport’s book, Slow Productivity as a reminder to slow down and engage in the world rather than the speed of technology. This is definitely a book I will order. 
When musing on what 2030 will be like, Michelle dropped a thought bomb on us. There will be a big desire to be device free because of the advancement and pace that technology is moving. There will be a demand for device free experiences. This will impact the job market to free people of the false sense of the dopamine pleasure and mindless scrolling that happens now. We need to be reminded that technology is designed to pull us away from others. In person experiences will be in demand. 
Michelle’s mentoring advice to my listeners is “Learn to listen to your gut; tap into your instincts and intelligence, or your Higher Power. Trust that voice that tells you truth.

S7 Ep. 295 Diana Teel - Frontier Technology Enthusiast

I met Diana Teel at the Central Florida Tech Grove when they hosted Indienomicon’s Armed Forces Game Jam. She is smart, personable, and someone you want to have on your side. Why? Because she is all five of these words that she shared that describe her.
1. Tenacious -both of her parents were marines and she learned as a young child not to give up, especially if the answer was no - it would likely turn into a yes later.  2. Passionate - she cares about others and the work she does.3. Curious - so much going on in the world and she realizes she asks “why,” similar to how a child questions to understand.4. Connector - Diana loves connecting people to others that creates opportunities to get energy flowing that makes magic happen.5. Holistic - Diana is a breast cancer survivor and that changed her perspective on life. She chose to look at her life and improve in all areas. Nutrition, faith, physical movement, being supportive of others and allowing herself to be supported. 
Diana is a driven technologist that wears multiple hats. Let’s count them
1. Director of the NavalX Central Florida Tech Bridge, 2. Outreach Director/Chief Evangelist with the Naval Air Warfare Center3. Director with Team Orlando and 4. Central Florida Tech Grove
Tune in to hear her favorite thought leaders from Marcus Aurelius (yes the Roman emperor) favorite quotes to Elon Musk and what she learned from listening to his audiobook. We dove into the Gen AI discussions and Diana’s mentoring advice for our listeners.

S7 Ep. 294 Sean Snaith PhD - Economists' Thoughts and Forecasts of Jobs, Industries, and 2030

What do you think of when you hear economist? If you are thinking dry, boring, or not funny - then you absolutely should tune in and hear Dr. Sean Snaith shared his forecast for 2024 and 2030. I have been a fan of Dr. Snaith (and he is okay with calling him Sean) for over 10 years. I get the forecasts that are put out by UCF Institute of Economic Forecasting of which he is the director. I asked him what he forecasts for 2024? The world is still working on getting out of the COVID 19 disruption. The economy will slow down and consumers in the US have faced a decline in what money can purchase in previous years before COVID. Labor market is strong right now as consumers are using credit cards. This overall impact on the economy is spending will impact individuals and families if they continue to use credit cards to pay their bills. Checks and balances folks, think how we as humans have unlimited wants vs. limited needs. Decisions have to be made and if resources are scarce. Best mentoring advice shared - It is impossible to know the future. The future is not your final step. There is an opportunity cost with every choice. You have no idea where your future will take you. You can do any job for a period of time as long as you know that it is not forever.

S7 Ep. 293 Dave Jackson - Get to Know 2018 Podcast Hall of Fame Winner

Today’s guest is a legend in the world of podcasts. His name is Dave Jackson and he describes himself using these five words: “I love to help people.” He is the Director of Education with Libsyn and the founder of the School of Podcasting, his own business, podcast and a published author. Dave definitely has a servant heart, he shared that as a child he grew up understanding how his mom (his superhero) could make the meals and home feel provided for. His dad was a truck driver and on the road a lot. He missed him at the 3-legged race and wanted to help others feel included as he watched other children run a race with their dads. This desire to help others feel important, seen and heard is what led him to start his own business His take on what 2030 might look like is that he is very worried how people will have dialogue with one another when we have become so accustomed to a digital world behind a screen. He believes that human skills will be at a prime demand because technology is advancing so quickly. Dave stated that he believes that AI should be called Assisted intelligence, not artificial intelligence We hope you enjoy this week's episode of The Intern Whisperer.   The Intern Whisperer Podcast is brought to you by Employers 4 Change - Increasing diversity through #Skills based #DiversityEquityInclusion #recruitment and #management for #interns and #employees alike.

S7 Ep. 290 Matthew Hogan: Learn, Engage, and Be Mindful of the Future we Create

I met Matthew Hogan at the 2023 IITSEC annual conference.  He is the founder and CEO of M3D Technologies.  He is a service-disabled #Navy veteran who studied Studio Production and Visual Effects at Full Sail University and The DAVE School in Orlando. Matthew founded and operated several small businesses after leaving the Naval service, and has successfully completed projects for Orlando-area theme parks and the University of Central Florida.
Matthew is an expert in haptic gloves and the ability to feel the virtual world. Taking hardware solutions and programming this equipment so humans can experience something that can be dangerous but in a safe environment. Another example includes rocket launchers that allow regular people to blow something up in a virtual environment.  He believes if people don’t work to understand these new technologies they will be left behind.

S7 Ep. 288 Tim Lesnick - Tim Shares the Secrets of His HR & Recruitment Success

Tim Lesnick inspires with his take on what 2030 holds for us, who is Omar Atlas, and the value of philanthropy. 
Giving a shout out to Alec Jones - thanks Alec - that he would introduce me to Tim Lesnick who is the co-owner of Trova Search, a nation-wide recruiting and consulting firm. I now understand why since he has over 20 years in the staffing and consulting industry and placed nearly 4,000 professionals on a contract or full-time basis career path.  Tim believes and exemplifies a tenant mindset, called "Read my mind better" which translates to “Great service means mastering the art of anticipation.” I think this would be a great title for a book. 
 
According to research by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), the University of Bamberg, and The Ohio State University objective was to find out whether consciously deciding to have a certain posture can influence a person’s confidence, behavior, and hormone levels. Remember the pose that #Superman or #WonderWoman do?  Hands on your hips, feet spread slightly apart, with shoulders back and chest out Tim is a really fun guy and when challenged to join in on power posing he shared another person that had a great power pose, Omar Atlas. Omar was a wrestler that also captured his audience’s attention and favor with his power poses. Be sure to check out Tim channeling Omar Atlas’ power pose for a laugh. Tim’s thoughts? The pose seems awkward except for when doing this with his kids. No judgments, just fun. 
 
Tim’s mentoring advice is spot on because it is a challenge for all of us. 
1) Be willing to dig ditches because a lot of people try to take short cuts.
2) People need experience and don’t know enough about business and put together what they learn in school and it hasn’t been built on experience. And
3) Give value to more than yourself by giving to others - volunteer and give back through philanthropy work.
