"Get a little bit of the banter in there, I'll let it now I feel on the spot. I'm not sure what to say. I totally do too. We can't banter on command, I guess. When I edited the last podcast, I admitted to my husband that I took out all the spaces between my words because I sound like William Shatner. And he was like, really? I'm like, yes, every time I talk, I always have a space, and I had to get rid of that. I hope to cut half of my laughing because apparently I have very explosive laughter without realizing it. And I have to go out, it's pretty loud. We all have our thing. Yeah, we all have our thing. But yay for editing, and that we've learned how to do it.

"Today, Stephanie Anderson. Here with Greg Lee. Welcome, Greg. Hello, Steph. I'm really glad to be here. Thanks for having me. So Greg, can you tell us just quickly what is the name of your business and in a sentence or two? What do you do? My business is called Gregory Lee, LLC. That's my name, Greg Lee, and I'm a coach, and I work with man. The way I describe that is I help men get their balls back. And that's kind of in the service of changing how they drink, dealing with their excessive drinking, but it really is a kind of a big spectrum approach to a lot of stuff that's not right in their lives. Awesome. And I'm sure we'll talk more about that in the course of this interview. And Greg, where are you currently located and who do you live with? I am in Mozambique. I've been here for about three and a half years and EFM to my wife, Monique, who is the health office director here for USAID. Awesome. And have you lived in in the other countries apart from Mozambique? No, this is a new adventure for me. I have, I wasn't born in Virginia, but I have lived in Virginia almost my entire life and until maybe 5 years ago, I thought, I'd live there for my whole life. And I wasn't even very interested in travel. I used to go to Germany a lot for a job that I had, but so this was I met this woman, and she brought me over here, so it's a new adventure. Wow, it's a big change. Yeah. So is there anything kind of impractical that you carry with you or have moved with you around the world? Yeah, I brought a bunch of guitar stuff that I'm not using. So there wouldn't be practical under the best circumstances. And the fact that it's been neglected for three years makes it really heavy and impractical. I have a bunch of stereos too. So music sounds like a hobby, and other hobbies. What do you do for fun? So my big passion these days is triathlon. I got started on it here for about the last year and a half. And I just did a half Iron Man in durban in South Africa. So I spend a lot of time per week swimming, biking and running.

"Years old, he's fit as a fiddle with a heart beating strongly for hurting kids. He knows what it's like to lose everything. There was World War II and my whole family was swept away physically by the Nazis busting into our dining room and just taking everybody. All that trauma. I ended up in a state run orphanage for 8 years of abuse. And then a decision, no child should have to make. I decided there was enough. I will commit suicide or I run away and I decided to run away and I left on the streets of Amsterdam for two years as a 9 year old. An American couple eventually heard about Charles, rescued him and brought him to America where he found a greater calling. I want to leave a legacy that it doesn't matter where you come from. How bad you've had it. You can always make things happen. Charles founded passion for kids in 1986. I want to be able to help people and give them what I did not have and have no love. Nobody to take care of me. He and his wife, Linda, are based in Encinitas. Their for profit company is passion for life vitamins, and each product sold helps benefit the nonprofit. They serve all kinds of families with all kinds of needs, and that includes San Diego's Gonzalez family, a stay at home mom, with four kids, their dad recently killed by a suspected drunk driver on the 15. Stories like the Gonzalez family were the breadwinner with three jobs passed away and the mom is left with all these kits with no help. That's when we step up. And thousands join them. It's in our heart, both my wife and I, you know, we like to help people. And in this story, we learn more about the family, gaining help from passion for kids. Officers say a drunk driver hit delfino Gonzalez on September 17th. Honestly, it's been really hard for all of us to move forward. My brother in law left behind his wife and four kids. Tabitha Jesus is doing her best to support her sister and the kids and her own husband in this time of grief. Me and my sister, married brothers. Jesus tells us Gonzalez ran out of gas on the 15 on his way home from work. He called his wife, saying he was near the exit and would just walk to the gas station. He never made it. My sister was a stay at home mom and so financially it's been really difficult to ended up losing their apartment and living with my parents now. CHP ID the driver as 23 year old Cyrus Peterson of San Diego, they arrested him on suspicion of DUI. The reason I no longer have a brother in law, and if you don't have a father, it's decided to drive drunk, so please don't do it. Jesus started to go fund me account for the Gonzales family and San Diego's passion for kids, took action. It's in our heart, both my wife and I, you know, we like to help people. Charles van Kessler is the founder of passion for kids. We hear stories like the Gonzales family where the breadwinner with three jobs passed away and the mom is left with all these kits. That's when we step up. And local families have jumped in, raising money and mailing boxes of necessities to the family. Something that's given them a small piece of joy in this storm of their life that they've been going through and I am extremely appreciative. You can donate through passion for kids dot org. In this next story, tracking and adventure on the high seas. The Baja ha ha is a 750 mile trek from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, and the cruisers are seasoned salty sailors. Me, my husband, my daughter, my son, and then we also have curing with us, my friend sandy. My friend Adam and his daughter. Well, maybe not that salty or even super seasoned, but they're well prepared. Stephanie Anderson and her husband Owen dreamed up this caper in 2017 when they first started sailing. He asked my husband, I'm an admiral. But I really, my husband and I are co captain. And now piloting a new way of life. We wanted something adventurous for our children. They set sail from San Diego on Monday. They called me from out at sea. And I just like when we have the style is out, it's so peaceful. The Anderson kids 5 year old archer and 9 year old Olivia already gaining skills. I don't know how to drive the big book, but I know how to drive a little dinghy. And their friend, 9 year old Elena, she gets to miss regular school to join in the Baja ha ha crew. I'm looking forward to learning all about the ocean and the sailboat. It's not always smooth sailing though. Can be scary when the waves are big and we're rocking a lot. But they have solutions. We come up front and we enjoy all the sun and the wind and then sometimes we just talk or play a board game or audiobook. For the Anderson family, this stretch is just the beginning. They saved and sold and strategized to spend at least the next year at sea. They can learn about so many other people as we go around the world and so many other cultures and just, you know, absorb everything that they can. May you have fair winds and following seas with some goodness. I'm lucinda Kay. Helping

"Hello, welcome to available worldwide. I'm your host Stephanie Anderson, and I'm here today with Marcel Yeager. Welcome Marcel. Thank you, Stephanie. I'm excited to be here with you. So Marcel, could you tell us a little bit about what you do? Sure. So I am a so called tandem or trailing spouse of a State Department foreign service officer. And we started in 2011 and I started a business at that time so that I could bring my career with me and have something portable. Around the world. And I started career of LA and we helped mid to executive level professionals reshape their narratives to get them into jobs that they love. Great. And where are you currently located and who are you there with? We are in Vilnius Lithuania. We'll be here for two more years and we are here with my one year old dog who is from here. My husband and three children. And where else have you guys lived around the world? We started in Uzbekistan and then moved to Chile. And then we were in the Washington D.C. area for a total of 5 years because of language training and two tours. And then moved to Lithuania. And previous to that, before he joined the government, we lived in Moscow actually for two years. Oh, interesting. Wow. So all this moving around, foreign service lifestyle. Is there anything impractical that you carry around with you? That's a very good question. I've started to think that I shouldn't bring any more U.S. appliances with maybe because I inevitably plug something into the wrong transformer or the wall and break it. I've done that with a phone, a fan, most recently, hairdryer, all kinds of things. Yeah. You can't recover from that in most cases. It's painful, yeah. So Marcel, what would you say are three words that your best friend might use to describe you? Birth I want to thank you for giving me that question ahead of times so I could think about it. But I was thinking back about my childhood friends and I think they would say probably that I'm organized because I used to organize their rooms when we were young. Empathetic and driven, I would say. Oh, cool. What kind of hobbies do you have? What do you do for fun? Dance has always been my most favorite thing and I'm currently not taking any classes, but I always try wherever we live. Since I was young, I've been doing that. And then reading, I love travel, of course, and just spending time with friends. I would say. And do you have an ultimate comfort food that you go to? Yes, and it's on my mind because we just were back in the U.S. for two weeks in July. It would be lobster as my favorite food. I don't know if I'd call that necessarily comfort food, but I'm from New England, so that's why. And but as a comfort food, like in the winter time, I would say noodle pudding, which is the recipe. My mom used to make. It actually has crushed corn flakes on top. So it's a little bit sweeter than a dinner, but we have it for dinner quite often. I've never heard of noodle pudding before. It must be a regional. It might be. Our regional name for it, perhaps. I mean, I can kind of imagine as a casserole, but I don't know. But it is a little bit sweet, but it's

"High does that need to go to ultimately get that supply side response that we just haven't seen in a profound way? Yeah, I think no one knows the number, but it's clear that workers in the United States are underpaid. They hadn't had wage gains in real terms for decades. And we're making up for some lost time now, but it's clear we haven't made up enough. I got 8 ways to go here. I'm going to go to the laureate Paul romer at NYU and the idea of technology and the impact of compensation where executives now are salary and bonus and you'd say over 15 years, they know they don't get that bonus if labor gets that pay raise. Are we as bullard would say, are we in a regime change now in labor and finally lower deciles can begin to catch up? That's certainly what it has seemed like in the wake of the pandemic. I think one of the big questions is whether that will persist as the economy slows. But the basic observation and John and I get tons of mail on this all the time. Jeez, we can't hire name the job. Short stops for the for the Washington Nationals, whatever. If that's the case, just pay them more. If you pay them more, do they show up? Workers show up if you pay them more. And I agree. I think you have identified a big puzzle. It's often in surveys of businesses. They say they can't hire workers. And then when the question comes to have you raised wages, they say no. What do they expect? To me, generationally. With this in mind, what you make of what the Federal Reserve is trying to achieve. I think they're trying to achieve something very difficult. I think it's not impossible. Clearly, they need to slow the economy in order to bring down inflation. Part of the problem is that a lot of the causes of inflation right now are on the supply side. And the fed's tools are not really good for lowering oil prices or food prices. All they can do is try to slow demand. So I think that it will be difficult for them to do, but it's certainly not impossible. I'm just bringing up their forecast for unemployment on the Bloomberg terminal 3.7% for 22 for 23 at 6 up to 3.9, then 4.1. We've asked the million guests this question is that aspirational, overly optimistic. Some people might say fanciful. What do you call it? I think that they would have to be very lucky to achieve that. The truth is, at times when the fed has really wanted to bring down inflation, they've ended up causing a recession. And I don't expect if we do go that route. I don't expect it to be very deep. We're not looking at the Volcker recession of the early 1980s or the Great Recession. But I think it'll be hard for them to substantially slow the economy, typically when the unemployment rate rises like that. Right. We want to get caught on a ten year four decimal places, but we won't do that. Instead, we'll say, to someone fancy like you look at jobless claims? I think the jobless claims are not that helpful, I think. I mean, part of it is that a lot of the slowing early on comes from firms stopping to hire. So the first thing we're going to see if we're really the labor market cools is firms are going to reduce their hiring. Job openings. And job openings should go down and we know the fed is counting on that. And then eventually firms do start to lay off workers in the claims numbers will go up. We've seen a little bit of an increase, but I don't put too much weight on that. Two 35, I mean, a bit of perspective here, two 35 historically done. Well, not even population just for population. What's your favorite chart right now? What's the chart that tells the greatest story right now of the American labor economy? I mean, actually, I have to side with Yellen here and say, I really like the quit because I think the quits rate says something about how confident workers are feeling in the economy. And the quits rate is high and in May, the latest data we have. It kind of. So the confidence. So the confidence right now is still there. They feel good about quitting their job, but ultimately they're not happy with the economy. Can you reconcile? No, I can't. I go to a death signal. It's a good time for this, but I go to a decile analysis. We should extend the show. Each decile is different. Stephanie Anderson, Stephanie, thank you. My pleasure. Thank you very much. We'll catch him with a Boucher. And then on to Brian deese in the next hour. These are going to be important conversations. It's a White House with tension right now. A lot of attention. Without a doubt about it. Coming up very shortly. Had to be shared and Brian deese from this administration from Washington, D.C.. Good morning

"Available worldwide. I'm Stephanie Anderson here today with run a job of level up strategies, rona welcome. Thank you, Stephanie. Thanks for having me. So let's get started with our quick fire questions just to get to know a little bit about you. So rona, as I already said the name of your business is level up strategies. But can you tell us a little bit about what you do? Sure. So we are a consulting and implementation company and what that means is we specifically work with driven leaders in small business in the small business and startup community from different industries to get them to their next level. And that's through strategy, planning and the actual implementation of the work that they need based on what we had discussed through strategic planning, whether that's in marketing and operations. Great. And where is it that you're currently located and who do you live with partner pets kids and so forth? Sure. I'm in Arlington, Virginia. I live with my husband three children and two dogs. I know you've been an EFM for about ten years now, you said. So what countries have you lived in so far? So we have actually only lived in one country and that is Brazil. So our first post was here in D.C. and then we were posted to Brazil. And then we were posted back to D.C. on semi expectedly. We did on it. And we have been in D.C. for the last three posts now. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah. And we bid again next year. So we'll see what happens after that. See where life takes you. Yeah. Is there something that sort of impractical that you carry around the world with you when you move or perhaps when you travel? I really don't. I feel like in this lifestyle, it's nice to have those impractical things that really comfort you, but I feel like that is also a practical thing to have. So I could say, you know, it could be impractical to have a special coffee drip that I have. But it is practical because I don't think I have anything that is absolutely truly impractical because I feel like they all serve their purpose. And what's your ultimate comfort food, perhaps besides coffee? Okay, so I don't have a specific cuisine that I like as a comfort food, but I love any kind of warm spicy soups and it just depends on the season or where I am if I'm able to find some kind of warm spicy soup. So whether that's pho or kimchi jjigae or even like a stew that is a little bit of the spicier side. I love having them. They wore my soul physically and figuratively. Yeah. And Rana last of the quickfire questions, what would you say is your superpower? I would say my superpower is the ability to find practical patterns and applying them to real life situations taking what is hypothetical and seeing how that can actually be a reality. Interesting. Very interesting superpower. So let's get into talking about your career path a little bit and your business. I know that you just launched level up in 2020. But you've been working as a consultant for quite a while. I think you said since 2008. So could you tell us a little bit about your work history, your career history and what led you to eventually starting level up strategies? Sure. So right after how far back do we begin? Right after college I moved out to the D.C. area just I love the culture I love the vibe. I love the just the city itself too. So I was here for an internship and then I ended up staying and I did some work in the policy analysis field. So I did Ed policy. I did DHS policy, DoD policy and then eventually I thought, you know, why don't I move into consulting because policy is very much hypothetical. I feel like and it takes many, many years for them to actually be implemented. So I wanted to go into something that was a little bit quicker, I guess. It is more applicable. So I went into consulting. And I have consulting for almost ten years. I want to say up until right after we had come back from Brazil. When we were posted to Brazil, I had communicated with my company. That we were going to be moving that this is going to be happening. I will be able to do a lot of things remotely. The company that I was with already had a really good culture of working from home of teleworking, one of the very few at that time, which was around 20 12, 2013. And so they did allow me to work from overseas from Brazil and I had worked from their remotely. However, as the longer you stay overseas, the one there's less time for you to do any kind of business development or help bringing contracts, contracts typically just dry up, right? And so by the time we did get back to the U.S., I had fully stopped doing consulting full time at the time. I also had my third child, while we were posted in Brazil. And when we had come back, I said, well, I'd like to have something that is a bit of a maybe a career change, but touches the community directly. Not so much something that is not so big on traveling, which consulting is big on traveling. It's 25% or up on travel. And so I started to connect with other small businesses in the area and then I ended up actually taking on a position at a small business in the D.C. area and I've been here ever since. And the more I met a lot of small business owners more I met a lot of entrepreneurs in this field and specifically in the D.C. region. The more I realized there was a big need out there for small businesses and small organizations and startups to help get their business off the ground. And at the same time, another community that I've obviously been a part of for many, many years need career progression need meaningful work need something that is more than just stamping a passport or something, not that there's anything wrong with that. But that was EFM connection realization had happened much earlier. I think back in 2015, 20, 2014, when we first got to Brazil and I sat down and I looked at all the women that I had met around the most of our women. A lot of the spouses and I said, wow, you all are just so talented. So experience. And yet, here we are, we're sitting here and I'm looking at my career. And I'm like, this is the best I can probably hope for is career stagnation. And that's the best case scenario. So having that kind of linger in my mind for quite some time, and then eventually making the connection years later of. Here's a community that need one another one another..

"Cannot treat addiction in isolation from the mental health and vice versa. So a lot of our time is spent on those again. The underlying ideas treating post traumatic stress disorder, addressing anxiety and how we cope and deal with stress, addressing depression, which is often what leads people to to more and increased substance use along the way. When you folks talk about recovery, how do you fit in sort of the family and the loved ones and the and the immediate close people close to the person who's going through recovering addiction issues. Recovery is 100% of family disease. It doesn't just impact the individual but their entire family. Mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, brothers sisters are worried they then take on the stress and the anxiety of will my loved one wake up tomorrow. Where will I find them? In what state of mind? Will they be in And what do I do about it? How do I do that? So it's really important that you include a family treatment model that you do individual counseling for the person. Trying to attain recovery. You do family therapy with just the family without their loved one. And then you do conjoined sessions as well. And by doing that you're teaching everybody held operate just a little bit differently and how to support a new pattern. And and and and that's really the key is having those this familial supports and that can be blood family or could be chosen family. But finding those supports that act as a family that are willing to be there long term for recovery. Just coming this up here for wind up our conversation. What should people know about national recovery month? While National Recovery Month really is to focus on on the joy and the progress that we have made in the United States, um to help people find lasting recovery, recovery is real. It's not some myth. It can be obtained, um and maintained and it's our opportunity to really celebrate and share the joy of what recovery looks like. We also take moments to recognize that recognize those people who lost their lives to addiction, and it's really important that we do take those moments and remember those lives that they were human beings that had so much potential for the future. Um, but then also really elevate the message that recovery is possible that treatment is available and that there's a whole community out there. Ready to take on the battle with you. You don't have to do it alone. Stephanie Anderson Recovery Cinnamon Apple of America in Annapolis. Thank you very much for with us on the problem that we do appreciate it as always.

"Um, addiction forms. You know, 60 to 80% of addiction is genetic predisposition, and that impacts Everybody, no matter their economic status. Um we do know that people with lower economic means are more likely to be exposed to early childhood trauma, including abuse and neglect, and that does play a role in somebody's likelihood to become addicted. But at the end of the day it impacts everybody and recovery centers of America. We see all walks of life, um, including, you know, high level officials, athletes, um elected officials, judges, lawyers, and then we see people who have So far come so far with their disease that they're homeless and that the only reason they're getting into treatment because they still have a loved one who is reaching out and trying to help them get somewhere. So it does not discriminate based on economic economic status at all, because one example with things like oxygen and fitting on the whole nine yards. No, The drugs are expensive to get their hands on. That's what kind of ass is there a difference and even in the drugs of people use. I think there's some drug difference in the drugs that people use, depending on their economic status. Um, you know, historically in urban centers were looking more towards crack cocaine. And heroin. But what's happening really now? Trends across the United States is fentanyl has creeped its way into everything. Uh, they're cutting methamphetamine with fentanyl. They're cutting heroin with fentanyl. So we're seeing a lot of that trend. Again, regardless of economic status, and fentanyl is so deadly and so addictive that it's just a very dangerous trend. Um, you will see trends within addiction, and there tends to be a cycle we can look at the history of addiction. Um People will crack down on a specific drug type. It will become too expensive as a result, and so they'll cycle to the next drug of choice, and that's a continuous cycle. So years ago, we saw heroin in the eighties. We moved to methamphetamines in the nineties and early two thousands here in Indiana. We follow the national trend towards opiates with the availability of opioid prescription painkillers, and I think, while Indiana did not get away from Matha amphetamine through this whole process, we're seeing more and more of that now and sentinels being added to that and will continue to see that cycle until we really Go to the place where we treat the underlying causes of addiction instead of just focusing on the substance. Okay, So here's my million dollar question has the legalization of marijuana major jobs made you guys this job? Easier? Difficult? Well in Indiana, it's not legal, so it's not made it either. Or I would say in other states, it's created an ethical quandary. What do you do with the individual who comes in using methamphetamine and marijuana? They say they'll quit the methamphetamine, but not the marijuana. It's legal, um, my personal stance as a clinician as a person who believes in the science behind the brain. Um, marijuana does impact the ability both for the brain to develop, particularly in adolescence into young adulthood. Um, and most certainly impacts the brain's ability to heal. So if those are two goals, brain development or healing of your brain marijuana is going to get in the way of those things, and so I would not recommend its use. Um, but I know it does. It does create this ethical quandary of what is the least harm And what are we willing to work on its same thing with, um, nicotine? We have patients that come in all the time that want to keep using nicotine products, but not their more illicit substances Will nicotine can be just as harmful, So it's working with that patient in the moment, helping them understand the consequences of the entirety of their substance use. And helping them make a decision for what's best for them because I'm going to ask you. How do you navigate that? Like I said that that ethical quandary because, like you're right. Marijuana is illegal in Indiana, but it's legal next door and Illinois How do you you know? Okay. Okay. I'll give it a fitting all. I'm not going to give him my edibles like Wait a second. If you're in treatment, you got to give up everything. A skilled treatment provider uses all of their tools in the toolbox to really work with that patient, But recoveries individual. Everybody's pathway into recovery needs to follow What's going to work for them? There's no one Stop shop. There's no one way to do it. And so as a provider, it's our job to work with that person and say, Okay, what are you willing to do? Let's start working on that. And then what are we willing to do next? And and how do we tackle that? Sometimes if we try and do all of it at once. It's too overwhelming and we just we end up exploding in the individual system. So for me and for most treatment providers, what we're looking at is saying, Okay, what are you willing to do? Let's start there and ask somebody experiences recovery in the joy of recovery. They become more motivated to see what recovery looks like another aspects and that's ultimately our goal. Stephanie Anderson with us She's with recovery Sin of America in Annapolis for a few more minutes on the program today, talking about September being sort of national recovery month with with the recent emphasis on mental health that we're doing here in Indianapolis, and sort of all over The country because jails have now become sort of the biggest mental health. Facilities. How does mental health play in the recovery process? Hand in hand? 80% of all people with an addiction have some sort of additional mental health diagnosis depression. Anxiety. We're also seeing more and more of what we call psychotic disorders in the field, schizophrenia schizoaffective disorder, and we're seeing that because the drugs that are being used really, to impact the brain differently, and it brings out that likelihood that that predisposition for some sort of psychotic disorder. So they really are hand in hand. You need to treat them hand in hand. You.

"Whether you're going through the suburbs of rural setting or you're in the city, so just like We're eight hours away a day's drive within 80% of the country, also for the day, also, within a day's drive almost every drug in America to exactly right, some of it produced here, some of it coming from all across the country. I also think in the rural communities because they have less access to WiFi healthcare resources. They are extra challenged because even if they could connect remotely, do they have the WiFi band to really do it. Um, have people how we've gotten over the stigma associated with addictions. Not at all. Not at all. Um, there is still a lot of thought out there that this is a choice. That people choose to use substances and therefore they can choose not to. Um, I most certainly can sit in this space where I understand we have a choice to make changes in our life. That's that's true for any chronic illness. Um, but I think what people fail to understand his most most people don't wake up in the morning and say I'd choose to be an addict today on their body and their circumstances have led them to a place where The illness has taken over and it's no longer a choice for them, and we really impacts everybody. There's almost nobody in this state in this country that hasn't been impacted by addiction. But yet we still hold so much stigma with it that that is often what keeps people from accessing treatment. How do we know the difference between someone within a A serious addiction issue versus Um uh, for like, Let's say someone likes an occasional cocktail hour once a while, versus how is that different? Someone like to drink a lot vs addiction? Yeah, I think the first thing we look at is how does it impact their normal, everyday functioning? Are they in financial peril because of their substance use are they not showing up to work or taking care of their Children? Power their social interactions. And are they connecting with humans the way they have in the past, or has it gotten to the point that they're incapable of connection or incapable of doing it without being intoxicated? And and we look at it as a continuum. There's no um, perfect line in the sand of when it crosses from a problem into an addiction. I think people need to recognize that It starts with just telling someone you care. Hey, I've noticed this change in you doesn't mean I think you're addicted. But I do think you can get some help, whether whether they're in full blown need of detox services or they just need some additional support. I think that's the place we can all start. And we'll have more with Stephanie Anderson. And just a bit as September is national, Uh, Nixon Recovery month, and so we'll talk to her about how addiction has sort of impacted here, Uh, in the state of Indiana. It is 8 €24.93 w..
