Veterans are at increased risk of committing suicide within the first year of leaving active duty and suffering job loss within 2 years after becoming a civilian. This is in direct contrast to the expectations of both veterans and employers, who expect great workplace success but are often mistaken and disappointed. Why are veterans more likely to fail in the civilian workplace the more successful they are in the military? What active duty supports and resources are lacking in civilian life? How do we—the loved ones, community, and businesses—help facilitate their successful transition to employment?
U.S. Navy Captain (retired) William Toti, author of “From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership,” discusses these questions and offers solutions to facilitate veterans’ successful transition to civilian employment.
Learn about:
- What does PTSD look like?
- Why are veterans at increased risk of suicide?
- Why some veterans fail to succeed in their civilian careers?
- How to assist veterans in understanding their new, corporate missions.
- How companies can help ameliorate skill gaps for their new veteran employees and facilitate their successful civilian employment
- Changes veterans can make to ensure their successful transition to the civilian workforce
- Veteran and military mental health resources, including the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, where you can call, text, or chat 988.

William Toti is author of “From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership.” He served for more than 26 years on active duty, culminating as commodore of Submarine Squadron 3, then fifteen years as a corporate executive culminating as CEO.

There are two people in a relationship, and both people are responsible for what happens in it, for contributing to the experiences of it. But how often do we point the finger at each other, blaming the other one as though there’s only one person in the relationship?
“1 + 1 = Accountability in a Relationship” explores the fundamental equation of responsibility within partnerships. This episode delves into the dynamics of accountability, emphasizing the importance of mutual trust, communication, and respect in sustaining healthy relationships.
In this “Unapologetically Real” segment, my special guest, Portia Carney, MBA, has a candid, insightful discussion and shares real-life examples that help navigate the intricacies of owning one's actions, foster understanding, and build stronger connections built on honesty and integrity. Accountability is a cornerstone of healthy personal and professional relationships and most importantly, to our relationship with ourselves.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said, “Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.” Yet…
U.S. Divorce rates are:
• 40-50% for 1st marriages
• 60-67% for 2nd marriages
• 73% for 3rd marriages
… with women requesting 70 - 80% of divorces!
In this candid episode, we dive into the intricate dynamics of gender differences within marriage and relationships. While love may bring two individuals together, navigating the contrasting perspectives, communication styles, and emotional needs of men and women can pose significant challenges.

Whether you're navigating the early stages of marriage or seeking to strengthen an existing partnership, this episode offers valuable perspectives and tools for fostering greater connection and intimacy amidst the inherent differences between men and women.
Discover:
- Why critiquing your husband or mate can be heard as "You're trying to be my daddy!"
- Why it’s hard for men to learn from their wives what they should’ve learned from their fathers
- Why we can’t learn from someone that we don’t see ourselves in, don’t identify with
- Why rites of passage into manhood are important to having healthy relationships
- How a lack of healthy role models sets us up for unhealthy relationships
- How your spouse or partner are your mirror – reflecting your values, standards & generational patterns

- How lack of self-awareness, fantasy, unexpressed expectations, unconscious family blueprints, and making your spouse responsible for your happiness undermine and damage relationships & marriage.
- The importance of adaptation, flexibility, negotiation & accountability to maintain connection and like-mindedness as people change over the course of a marriage.
If you don't want the same thing and aren't going the same place, then what are you doing?! Divorcing!

The struggle to integrate business and spirituality is common-place. A simple yet critical shift in mindset reveals why we are always successful, but it’s usually success at creating mess we don’t want.

Imagine being told by 5 neurologists that you were going to die from a brain tumor in 6-12 months, and there was nothing they could do to help you. Faced with this shocking, devastating diagnosis at 33-years old, my special guest, Sandi Gold, was racked by fear; but in the next moment, she was enveloped by “this incredible love” energy coming from her art work. At that moment, she chose love over fear, chose love energy to guide her healing and lead her to health practitioners that listened and supported her approach, and chose to trust her body’s wisdom to heal. Sandi used love to guide her in her quest to live life to the fullest.
Sandi Gold repeatedly achieved what doctors defined as the impossible. Almost 40 years later, she shares her healing journey from brain illness, side effects of her life-saving treatment, and family trauma in her new book, “I Chose Love.” Ms. Gold is also an artist, a certified expressive arts specialist, and was featured on ABC’s News Show 20/20, profiled in People Magazine, The New York Times, Boston Globe, USA Today and in hundreds of newspapers throughout the country. She’s been interviewed on National Public Radio and Connecticut Public Radio and been a speaker at academic institutions, including Brown University, and many hospitals and schools.

The history of African-Americans is complex, nuanced, rich and full—one of courage, strength, and resilience side by side an ugly, painful history of a proud, diverse people’s unyielding struggle for liberation against the yoke of inhumanity. Our resistance and refusal to submit to oppression beckon us to embrace black history as a journey of power over pain.
Dr. Obari Cartman, a psychologist and author, discusses the importance of which black history narrative we tell, the perspective from which we tell it, and the intention to share the power of blackness in our chosen stories that empowers listeners. Expand your mental perspective, and celebrate the power, strength, resilience, and achievements of the African-American community found in an empowered black history narrative.

Each and every one of us want to matter! We want to be seen for who we truly are, and we want to be heard. When we feel invisible, it’s painful! We tell our stories in an effort to be understood, to be valued, to know that we matter. We tell the story of our loved ones and the society for the same reasons and to leave a legacy of our values, standards, accomplishments, hope, and resiliency for the inevitable hard times and losses. Storytelling enables us to see ourselves in each other. Through this bridge of connection and understanding, we can overcome differences, transcend indifference, and see our shared humanity.
My special guest, John W. Fountain, an award-winning columnist, journalist, professor of journalism, a 2021-22 Fulbright Scholar, and publisher of five books, the latest, “One in a Million: Diary of a Freed Black Journalist” discusses:

· The significant impact of our stories upon those who hear them and its generational legacy

· Storytelling is one of the most effective ways to make visible the humanity of the marginalized or “those who linger in the shadows”
· The need to tell our stories when mainstream media remains silent
· Writing tips for beginners including accepting your writing imperfections
“Write your story. Tell your story because no one is more qualified to tell your story than you are. Tell your story.” ~ John W. Fountain

The U.S. ranks the worst in maternal care and mortality rates compared to 10 other developed nations, despite spending the largest percentage on health care of all wealthy nations. Worse yet, two-thirds of the 700 pregnancy-related deaths that occur every year are preventable.
Dr. Dona Perry, a Board-certified OB/GYN and Medical Director of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, discusses the importance of support during pregnancy and postpartum care, communicating after pregnancy with someone who knows the warning signs of a problem, and how a doula educates and supports moms and babies during and after pregnancy, which significantly improves their health and decreases the occurrence of illness and death. Also, mental illness, including substance abuse, presents a significant threat to the health and well-being of the mother and child; and how nutrition is foundational to good brain health.

Many women strive for excellence every day for themselves and their families. The strong black woman, also called the black superwoman complex, is a strong, resilient, African-American woman, who strives for excellence in all areas of her life to prove she isn’t inferior or inadequate and that she's deserving of the same equal opportunities and access to meaningful resources and success as her white male counterparts. The sacrifice for her super achievements is the denial of her own pain and needs.
Bridgette Arnett, MD, PhD. and Mawusi Arnett, MD, MPH discuss:
· The economics and racial inequities that perpetuate the false narrative of the African-American woman’s inferiority in order to keep resources for a dominant patriarchy’s profit, power, and pleasure
· How this system conditions all women to meet the needs of others while ignoring their own
· How the recent resignation of former Harvard President, Claudine Gay, the only African-American female in Harvard’s history, illustrates her excellence wasn’t enough to prove her worthiness nor shield her from false accusations of plagiarism, and how she was discredited by a wealthy donor whose wife had actually committed plagiarism
· How does any of this apply to and have meaning for the average, hardworking woman
· How a tribal mentality and the fight for resources is designed to keep most Americans impoverished because the color that matters most is the color green
· If you don’t like you, you don’t value you and won’t take care of you. You have to like you to exercise self-compassion and take care of yourself.
· How your wellness super powers help you achieve and sustain health and wellness, including weight loss.
· How do we stop allowing others to define and confine us so we can live happy, healthy lives expressing our greatest potential!

The strong black woman, also called the black superwoman complex, is a strong, resilient, African-American woman, who strives for excellence in all areas of her life, driven in part by an effort to be seen as equal in a society that sees little value in her and believes she's undeserving of access to meaningful resources and success. The sacrifice for her super achievements is the denial of her own pain and needs.
Bridgette Arnett, MD, PhD. and Mawusi Arnett, MD, MPH discuss the origins, signs, and some of the adverse mental and physical health impacts of the black superwoman complex.
Learn:

Veterans are at increased risk of committing suicide within the first year of leaving active duty and suffering job loss within 2 years after becoming a civilian. This is in direct contrast to the expectations of both veterans and employers, who expect great workplace success but are often mistaken and disappointed. Why are veterans more likely to fail in the civilian workplace the more successful they are in the military? What active duty supports and resources are lacking in civilian life? How do we—the loved ones, community, and businesses—help facilitate their successful transition to employment?
U.S. Navy Captain (retired) William Toti, author of “From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership,” discusses these questions and offers solutions to facilitate veterans’ successful transition to civilian employment.
Learn about:
•What does PTSD look like?
•Why are veterans at increased risk of suicide?
•Why some veterans fail to succeed in their civilian careers?
•How to assist veterans in understanding their new, corporate missions.
•How companies can help ameliorate skill gaps for their new veteran employees and facilitate their successful civilian employment
•Changes veterans can make to ensure their successful transition to the civilian workforce
•Veteran and military mental health resources, including the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, where you can call, text, or chat 988.
