  • Episode 295 – Unstoppable Pro Basketball Player and Entrepreneurial Business Coach with Dre Baldwin
    2024/12/24
    From time to time I am contacted by someone who says they have an interesting and thought provoking guest who would be perfect for Unstoppable Mindset. Since I am of the opinion that everyone has a story within themselves worth telling I always work to learn more about the guest. Such was the case when I was contacted about our guest this time, Dre Baldwin. Dre and I had an initial conversation and I invited him to appear as a guest. I must say that he more than exceeded my expectations. Dre grew up in Philadelphia. He wanted to do something with sports and tried out various options until he discovered Basketball in high school. While he wasn’t considered overly exceptional and only played one year in high school he realized that Basketball was the sport for him. Dre went to Penn State and played all four of his college years. Again, while he played consistently and reasonably well, he was not noticed and after college he was not signed to a professional team. He worked at a couple of jobs for a time and then decided to try to get noticed for basketball by going to a camp where he could be seen by scouts and where he could prove he had the talent to make basketball a profession. As he will tell us, eventually he did get a contract to play professionally. Other things happened along the way as you will hear. Dre discovered Youtube and the internet and began posting basketball tips which became popular. While playing basketball professionally he also started blogging, posting videos and eventually he began selling video basketball lessons online. His internet business grew and by 2015 after playing basketball he decided to leave the sport and open his own business called, Work On Your Game Inc. His business has given him the time to author 35 books, deliver 4 TDX talks, create thousands of videos and coach others. Dre and I talk about such concepts as discipline, mindset and the value of consistency. Our conversation will provide many useful insights and ideas you and all of us can use. About the Guest: As CEO and Founder of Work On Your Game Inc., Dre Baldwin has given 4 TEDxTalks on Discipline, Confidence, Mental Toughness & Personal Initiative and has authored 35 books. He has appeared in national campaigns with Nike, Finish Line, Wendy's, Gatorade, Buick, Wilson Sports, STASH Investments and DIME magazine. Dre has published over 8,000 videos to 142,000+ subscribers, his content being consumed over 103 million times. Dre's daily Work On Your Game MasterClass has amassed over 2,900 episodes and more than 7.3 million downloads. In just 5 years, Dre went from the end of his high school team's bench to a 9-year professional basketball career. He played in 8 countries including Lithuania, Germany, Montenegro, Slovakia and Germany. Dre invented his Work On Your Game framework as a "roadmap in reverse" to help professionals with High Performance, Consistency and Results. A Philadelphia native, Dre lives in Miami.

  • Episode 294 – Unstoppable Master Certified Physician Development Coach with Dr. Joe Sherman
    2024/12/20
    Meet again Joe Sherman. Joe grew up in a family being the youngest of seven siblings. His parents who had not gone to college wanted their children to do better than they in part by getting a college education. Joe pretty much always wanted to go into medicine, but first obtained a bachelor’s degree in engineering. As he said, in case what he really wanted to do didn’t pan out he had something to fall back on. Joe, however, did go on and obtain his MD and chose Pediatrics. He has been in the field for 35 years. This time with Joe we talk a lot about the state of the medical industry. One of Joe’s main efforts is to educate the medical profession and, in fact the rest of us, about burnout among medical personnel. Joe tells us why burnout is so high and we discuss what to do about it. Joe talks about how the medical profession needs to change to keep up with the many challenges faced by doctors and staff and he offers interesting and thought-provoking ideas. Again, I hope you will find my discussion with Joe Sherman beneficial, productive and helpful to you, especially if you are a doctor. About the Guest: Dr. Joe Sherman helps health professionals transform their relationship with the unrelenting demands of their jobs and discover a path toward meaning, professional fulfillment, and career longevity. He believes the key to personal and professional success lies in bringing “soul to role” in your medical practice. Dr. Sherman is a pediatrician, coach and consultant to physicians and healthcare organizations in the areas of cross-cultural medicine, leadership, and provider well-being. He is a facilitator with the Center for Courage & Renewal and a Master Certified Physician Development Coach with the Physician Coaching Institute. Dr. Sherman has been in pediatric practice for over 35 years concentrating on healthcare delivery to underserved and medically complex children in the District of Columbia, Tacoma, Seattle, Uganda, and Bolivia. He has held numerous faculty positions and is currently Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington.

  • Episode 293 – Unstoppable Brain Health Coach with Flor Pedrola
    2024/12/17
    “Brain health”, you say? Yes absolutely. Flor Pedrola, a brain health expert and coach joins us this time on Unstoppable Mindset. As she says in her biography, “I was a recent economist ready to carve out a well thought out and planned future for myself and suddenly, starting in 1989, fate plunged me into worlds totally unknown to me”. First her father was diagnosed with ALS and passed 18 months after receiving his diagnosis.. Then her son was diagnosed with ADHD. As with any analytical person, Flor began studying the brain. As she will explain, she made contacts and found a doctor who was taking a novel physical approach to study the brain. While she still has a day job with a technology company, Flor sometime ago started her own brain health coaching business. As she describes, she has client,s both adults and youth, with whom she works to help them better understand their lives and possibly their brain health situations. As I discover, Flor works with many people simply who feel stressed or out of sorts in some way. She uses her skills to help people better understand their bodies, their brains and how to improve quality of life for both. Flor gives us good ideas of what we all can do to keep a healthy brain active and engaged. I think you will appreciate her sound advice. About the Guest: I was a recent economist ready to carve out a well thought out and planned future for myself and suddenly, starting in 1989, fate plunged me into worlds totally unknown to me. First into neurology and neurodegenerative diseases, and soon after into the world of neurosciences and so-called mental disorders. All my knowledge, abilities and illusions were of no use in my new reality and I made one of the best decisions of my life: to embark on a long and exciting path of exploration, learning and discoveries about the brain that captivated me. I want to be able to reach as many people as possible, and to help build a society, a world that, thanks to the great advances in technology, becomes familiar with the brain. Many medical professions have been able to see the organs they were treating for years, such as orthopedic surgeons who, thanks to X-rays, could identify the problem, the breakage, and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Nowadays it is possible to 'see' the brain, to study and understand it much better, and to diagnose much more accurately 'mental' diseases and disorders. And the best thing is that also thanks to technology and the information it has provided in recent years, it is possible to a large extent to prevent the damage that a brain can suffer, and which is likely to affect for the rest of your life. And I also wish you fall in love with your brain and understand that taking care of it is a must so it can take care of you. You will not regret it.

  • Episode 292 – Unstoppable Impact100 Founder with Wendy Steele
    2024/12/13
    Wendy Steele by any standard is an innovator, a leader and she is clearly unstoppable. She was born in Connecticut and, even from an early age, she was taught the value of giving back. For a while she didn’t really buy into the concept, but then her mother died. She realized at some point that the community around her selflessly helped her and the rest of the family with food and other support. She will tell us how one day a neighbor lady took her to the mall to buy her a dress for her first dance. As she tells the story, her father thought that all he needed to do was to take Wendy to Sears to buy something. Wendy’s neighbor set her father straight which was one of those learning moments for Wendy when she realized just how unselfish her neighbor was and how so many people worked to help her and the family. Wendy went to college where she majored in economics and then went to work in the banking industry. Unlike many, Wendy always used her job to help ensure that the banks for which she worked truly adopted an attitude of helping the community rather than just working to maximize profits. While continuing to work for banks, in 2004 while then having moved to Cincinnati, Wendy decided to start Impact100, an organization designed to really give back to the local community. I leave it to Wendy to describe the organization, its founding and its major success over the years. The story shows us all what one person can do if they are committed and if they want to help others. Suffice it to say that today, Impact100 is in several countries and has given over $140,000,000 to local community organizations and projects. About the Guest: Wendy H. Steele, Founder and Chief Executive, Impact100 A dedicated philanthropist, passionate entrepreneur, and inspiring speaker, Wendy Steele is the founder of Impact100, a grassroots global movement that has given away more than $140 million since its inception in 2001. From a young age, her family instilled in her the value of giving back with the intention of leaving the world a little better than she found it, leading Steele to dedicate much of her adult life encouraging generosity in all its forms. She believes that each of us has something important to give. In 2023, Wendy released her bestselling book, Invitation to Impact: Lighting the Path to Community Transformation. Filled with personal stories and expert guidance, she shares the history of Impact100 and why she was compelled to pivot from a successful banking career into full-time work at Impact100 Global. Wendy has received several awards for her work in philanthropy, including the 2024 USA TODAY Woman of the Year. Also in 2024, Steele received an Anthem Award for Humanitarian Action & Services, Best Local Community Engagement for her work with Impact100 Global. In 2021, she was named by Forbes as one of fifty women over fifty who are leading the world in impact. Her work in philanthropy has been featured in several books, including The Transformative Power of Women’s Philanthropy; Women, Wealth and Giving; Creating a Women’s Giving Circle; and The Right Sisters—Women Inventors Tell Their Stories. Steele believes wholeheartedly in giving back to her community. She observes that there are two kinds of people: those who see the problems in the world and realize they can be a part of the solution and those who still need to be invited to the party.

  • Episode 291 – Unstoppable Transformation Collaborative Expert: Part II with Dr. Wallace Pond
    2024/12/10
    Over the lifetime of Unstoppable Mindset I have met many of our guests on LinkedIn. My guest this time, and for his second appearance is Wallace Pond. I feel he is by far one of the most fascinating and engaging people I have had the honor to meet. Dr. Pond was born into a military family based at the time in Alabama. I do tease him about his not having an Alabama accent and he acknowledges that living on a military base is largely why he does not naturally possess a Southern way of speech. Dr. Pond has lived, worked, and studied in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. He has served as a teacher, a professor and within the corporate world he has held a number of positions including several within the C Suite arena. We get to explore his life journey including learning of a mental health crisis that lead him to a career change a few years ago. Once again during my time with Dr. Pond we talk about many subjects including Leadership,our fractured society and what makes a good and real leader. Wallace observes that slowly leaders are shifting from requiring their own high technical prowess to relying more on the success of others. Wallace will tell us about his project, the Transformation Collaborative which is an effort to promote real change in how we can become better versions of ourselves. Once again, our time passes all too quickly. About the Guest: Dr. Pond, founder, IdeaPathway, LLC, the Transformation Collaborative™, and Life Worth Living, LLC, has been a missiondriven educator and leader for over 30 years. For the last 20 years, Wallace has been a senior leader in higher education, holding both campus and system level positions overseeing single and large, multi-campus and online institutions of higher education in the US and internationally. He has served as chancellor, president, COO, CEO, CAO (Chief Academic Officer), and board member, bringing exceptional value as a strategic-servant leader through extensive experience and acumen in strategic planning, transformational change, change management, crisis management/turn around, organizational design and development, P&L, human capital development, innovation, new programs, and deep operational expertise among other areas of impact. He has recently added psychotherapy to his practice and provides counseling services as an LPCC under supervision. You can see his counselor profile here. His many thought leadership articles are available at www.WallacekPond.com. Wallace began his career as a high school teacher and adjunct professor, and spent six years in the elementary and secondary classroom working primarily with at-risk youth. He was also a public school administrator and spent another six years as a full time professor and administrator in the not-for-profit higher education sector, working in both on campus and online education, bringing education to underserved students. Additionally, Wallace has over 15-years of executive, private sector experience, creating a unique and powerful combination of mission-driven and business focused leadership and insights.

  • Episode 290 – Unstoppable Corporate Shaman with Wolf Born
    2024/12/06
    I would like you to meet Randal Newton-john, at least that was his given name at birth, but I’ll come back to that in a moment. Randal grew up with what he describes as a pretty normal childhood. Many of us might not totally agree since his aunt’s name is Olivia Newton-John. If being the nephew of a famous actress and entertainer weren’t enough, his grandfather was the famous physicist Max Born. Randal really came from a creative family didn’t he? Growing up he had the nickname of Wolf. At some point he decided to legally change his name to Wolf Born and so here we now call him Wolf. This creative man went to college and then worked at a few jobs working on suicide hotlines among other things. Eventually he accepted an executive management position with an organization helping persons with developmental disabilities as well as persons with autism. Wolf always felt a need to be literally closer to Nature and to develop a lifestyle that understood the many things we typically ignore, but that Nature is trying to tell us. In 2022 Wolf left his executive position to form his own company not only to better his own relationship with his surroundings, but also to help others gain a bigger picture of their world by more appreciating Nature. Our conversation discusses his observations and efforts. He tells us of the many ways we all can better use our natural surroundings to become better and more healthy. Wolf describes many issues we have covered in previous conversations here on Unstoppable Mindset. For example, he tells about the cycles of Nature, cold to hot to cold or cool again. As he describes it, we as humans tend to ignore this cycle and simply go at a fast or hot pace which leads often to many health crises. I think you will enjoy hearing Wolf’s observations and I do hope some of you will reach out to him at lucidlifeaus@gmail.com. About the Guest: Wolf Born, (birth name: Randal Newton-John) was born in Melbourne, Australia. His father was the brother of the late pop music icon and actress, Olivia Newton-John. Whether to do with those genetics, or a family that supported self-expression, he was interested in theatre and music from an early age. While he succeeded academically in high school, in his early twenties he rejected the establishment and became an artist, working with an eclectic mix of sculpture (largely mask making), script writing, performance and music. He moved out of the city to the country, drawn by a fascination for nature. It was at this point that he became interested in indigenous shamanic practices of attuning to the natural world, trance drumming and singing, and ritual performance. He took his shamanic performances from the country back into the city streets ( to the bemusement of onlookers.) By his late twenties, feeling the need to ‘settle down’, he became a professional counsellor and soon moved into management. Drawing upon his strong analytical aptitude, he quickly progressed into executive management in mental health and disability organisations. However, after more than a decade as an Executive, the inner call to return to his passion for nature and the arts grew strong. In 2022, he gave up his position in a disability service provider and began to work on a way to combine his seemingly disparate skills of organisational leadership and arts/wellbeing/nature-based practices. In the thirty years since he first saw the importance of connecting with nature, the world had changed. Where once environmental consciousness was seen as only for hippies and the radical fringe, now it had taken centre stage in global awareness. So, he began to develop his own unique vision of organisational guidance, as a regenerative business consultant and a corporate shaman. The aim: to transform organisational consciousness around nature. The core tenet of his work is to understand that nature is within us, not just the environment ‘out there’ of land, seas and skies. Through this awareness we can partner with nature for the benefit of both people and the planet. He currently lives near Daylesford, Victoria, which is about one and a half hours drive north west of Melbourne. He lives on a nine acre property with his senior dog, Denny. He is partnered to James, and they have been together for almost twenty years, and has an adult daughter, Cassie.

  • Episode 289 – Unstoppable Intuitive Spiritual Coach with Dr. Christine Balarezo
    2024/12/03
    On this episode of Unstoppable Mindset we meet and get to talk with Dr. Christine Balarezo. While Christine was born in Peru much of her youth was spent in California and then Connecticut. During her life she has secured various college degrees including a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of North Texas. She spent ten years working in the field of human trafficking. Later she worked briefly for a nonprofit organization. Christine was never fully satisfied with both working for other organizations and for working in academia. After her time with a nonprofit she decided to go out on her own. What she realized she was being directed by her inner self to do was to take up the job of more directly helping others. Christine became a spiritual coach and healer. Today as she explains she “helps creative sensitives reconnect to their true soul being by using her intuitive and psychic gifts with practical, multi- and interdisciplinary transcultural knowledge so they can fully shine their light”. Our conversation touches on many topics including the concepts of spiritual healing, psychic intuition and some of the fears and prejudices around these concepts. I hope you enjoy what Christine has to say. One thread I find both with this conversation as with so many we have had on Unstoppable Mindset is that we all should learn to be more open and curious to things we may not fully understand or embrace. About the Guest: Dr. Christine Balarezo is Founder of Christine Balarezo, which offers multidimensional spirituality services for clients around the world. She is an Intuitive Spiritual Coach, Energy Healer, Intuitive Astrologer, and Educator. She helps creative sensitives reconnect to their true soul being by using her intuitive and psychic gifts with practical, multi- and interdisciplinary transcultural knowledge so they can fully shine their light. Christine loves working with diverse groups of people especially those with multidimensional identities and/or overlapping intersectionalities, neurodivergents, HSPs, BIPOC, single parents, immigrants, witches and healers. In a past life, she was a human trafficking scholar with ten years of experience in the field, and with expertise in mixed-methods trafficking and policy research. Christine began her career in academia serving as an Adjunct Professor of Political Science, and a Fulbright Postdoctoral Research Scholar, where she conducted fieldwork across Israel on its human trafficking policy. She also had a brief stint in the nonprofit world supporting national anti-trafficking efforts. As a multicultural Latina and single mother, she is also passionate about mentoring and continues working with vulnerable populations within the mental health, metaphysical, and higher education fields. Christine received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of North Texas, and her M.A. in Political Science from the University of South Florida. Christine’s goal is to provide practical yet cosmic guidance - balancing the scales, that is - so people can live a life that is true to them and their heart. When she’s not helping others or talking about energy, she loves traveling and exploring new places, cooking Peruvian and Asian food, spending time with her college son, walking their two dachshunds, and finding new books to read at the library.

  • Episode 288 – Unstoppable Leader in a Mosaic World with Susan Popoola
    2024/11/29
    “Mosaic world”? Meet Susan Popoola from the UK. Susan will tell you that she supports leaders in optimising and bringing out the best in people and organisations. As we learn, Susan was born in Great Britain to Nigerian parents. During part of her younger life she was, what she calls, “private fostered” and did not live directly with her parents. Susan attended college in Nigeria where she received her Bachelor’s or “First Degree” in Social Sciences. Later in England she obtained her Master’s Degree in HR Strategy and Change. After working for other organizations Susan decided to leap out on her own and put her entrepreneurial spirit to work and formed her own company to work with leaders who work with established and emerging purpose driven people to create Harmony, Impact and Legacy within their organizations. Susan is the author of three books and has begun working on a fourth. Our conversation is far ranging going from a discussion about stress to talking about Inclusion. She will tell us about how she created the concept of a “mosaic world” as a model to incorporate all persons by embracing each individual’s gifts and skills. About the Guest: With a first degree in Social Sciences, Diploma in Systems Thinking & Masters in HR Strategy & Change, Susan works with established and emerging purpose driven leaders to create Harmony, Impact and Legacy, for a Mosaic World in which everyone is valued for who they are and what they have to offer. Her deep rooted belief in human value, and her ability to understand and connect with people from a rich diversity of backgrounds enables her to support leaders in optimising and bringing out the best in people and organisations. Her belief in human value is reflected in her podcast, “Leading in a Mosaic World, and her books: Touching the Heart of Milton Keynes: A Social Perspective, Consequences: Diverse to Mosaic Britain, and Male Perspectives on The Value of Women at Work. She is also the creator of the Legacy Alignment Programme that enables senior professionals to design a legacy plan that ensures their work is extremely fulfilling and makes a positive impact now and into the future. She has extensive cross-sector and international experience working withorganisations and delegates from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, China and the US. She is also a South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership Ambassador, Royal Society of Arts fellow, Good Work Guild member, and former Fellow of Windsor Castle’s Society of Leaders. She was recently designated a Black Female Pioneer by Milton Keynes City Council. When she’s not working with organisations, you are likely to find her on the Golf course, working to support young people who have been in the care system, or working on her latest book on multiculturalism.
