About Doug Cornfield, Director of D3Day

Get his book on Amazon, Pulling Each Other Along: https://a.co/d/5LiGrZH
Doug Cornfield's journey from a multi-sport high school athlete to a champion on the track is a testament to his dedication and athletic prowess. Excelling in basketball and track at Taylor University, Doug's freshman year was marked by a National Championship win in the 800m at the NCCAA Track & Field Championships. This triumph spurred him to devote himself entirely to running, a decision that led to a full scholarship and a transfer to the University of Georgia (UGA). At UGA, Doug consistently ranked as a top contender in the SEC and etched his name in the record books with several top ten all-time performances in both indoor and outdoor track and field. His athletic achievements also include being a member of the Georgia All-State Cross Country Team and representing Athletes in Action in European races in 1987.
Beyond the track, Doug's competitive spirit translated into a successful career in sales. As a top sales representative for NEST Entertainment, he played a pivotal role in the company's explosive growth, eventually becoming the East Coast Regional Vice President. Under his leadership, the company's cash flow soared from $500,000 per year to $500,000 per week within three years. In the 1990s, Doug leveraged his sales expertise as a consultant for various companies, testing new products before joining Merrill Lynch in 2000 and relocating to Corning, NY.
In 2009, while at Merrill Lynch, Doug's path crossed with Dave Clark, the only professional baseball player to pitch from crutches. This meeting was not only professionally significant but also personal, as Doug's son, Gideon, was born with physical challenges similar to Dave's. Eager to learn from Dave's experiences and the approach his parents took in raising him, Doug found both a client and a friend. Inspired by Dave's remarkable life story, Doug persuaded him to share his journey with the world. Together, they co-founded the Dave Clark Foundation, Ltd., which organizes and hosts disability sports events under the banner of Disability Dream & Do (D3Day). These events are designed to inspire and empower individuals within the disability community to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential.

In this episode, Nick Koziol sits down with Henrik Wilenius, an author with a passion for fostering human connection through storytelling. Henrik shares his journey from a curious child in Helsinki to a global traveler, entrepreneur, and writer. They delve into the inspiration behind Henrik's Rise Up Trilogy, a series born from his volunteer work with the Helsinki Red Cross Youth Shelter. Henrik discusses the importance of diversity, friendship, and courage in an increasingly divided world. Join us for a terrific conversation about the power of stories.

Website: henrikwilenius.com
Instagram: www.instagram.com/henrikwileniusauthor
TikTok:www.TikTok.com/henrikwileniusauthor
As a child, Henrik devoured stories of faraway lands. Through them, he discovered that the pathway to understanding people from different cultures was to look for things they had in common rather than what set them apart. Finding connection to people became his passion. In his early teens, he left his safe little bubble in Helsinki and ventured out to the great big world, eventually landing in Paris.
At the age of twenty-one, Henrik returned to Finland and enrolled in the Helsinki Business School. Two years later he founded a contemporary art sale and services company, but despite the initial success he had to close down the business after five years when the whole western world fell into a deep recession.
Henrik decided to go back to school to study philosophy. One morning as he was working on an essay on rhetoric, it dawned on him that he was actually writing his first book. It was a philosophical study into his own coming-of-age. End of Restlessness was published by a Finnish publisher (WSOY) and after publishing another book, this time a young adult novel, he switched to English.
The Rise Up Trilogy was inspired by his fifteen-year stint as a volunteer in Helsinki Red Cross Youth Shelter. In a world that is turning into an increasingly hostile place for any minority, what people need is stories that evoke diversity, friendship, human decency, and the courage to listen to one’s heart.
Besides his husband, Henrik loves novels in Russian about the Soviet life, French pop, snowboarding, sampling vegan delights across the world, and spending time with their brazen, eclectic group of friends and family.

During her long rehabilitation from a near-fatal automobile accident in 1975, Rochesterian Bernice “Bunny” Skirboll discovered the healing power of friendship and vowed to make a difference in others’ lives. She got involved in the Mental Health Association’s Adopt-A-Patient Program and soon transformed it into the community-based Compeer model, serving as Executive Director from its inception through 2006.
Under Skirboll’s leadership, Compeer grew from a small program in Rochester to an internationally recognized mental wellness model and organization — one that has demonstrated solid results and been replicated around the globe.
Today, the Compeer Rochester team carries forward our founder’s vision and mission to provide healing friendship to community members living with mental health challenges — and to shatter the stigma surrounding mental health conditions. The Compeer Model has been replicated throughout the US and Australia, with additional affiliates in Canada and the United Kingdom.

In episode 88 of the That Sounds Terrific Podcast, your host Nick Koziol sits down with a remarkable entrepreneur, Mona Ockenden, the founder of Mona Moon Naturals. Mona's motivation began out of a personal experience when her sister battled breast cancer. Realizing all the harmful ingredients in everyday products, Mona used her background as an engineer to provide a solution. It didn’t stop with family or friends. She created a thriving company dedicated to revolutionizing the industry while giving back to her community. Join them as they dive into Mona's inspiring journey and explore the intersection of personal health, clean beauty, and making a positive impact on the world.
About Mona Ockenden
Email: mona@monamoonnaturals.com
LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mona-samaan-ockenden-bbb757
When Mona’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, she learned about the many hormone-disrupting and harmful ingredients in body care products. She began using safer and cleaner products but had a hard time finding a deodorant that kept her feeling fresh and confident all day.
Mona Moon Naturals was born after perfecting a DIY recipe with feedback from family and friends. Mona Moon Naturals are made with limited ingredients that are all non-GMO and natural. As an added bonus, we love being able to pronounce every last ingredient. And we know what they are, too.
10% of profits go to the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester to support those touched by breast or gynecological cancers
Prior to Mona’s transition to building her company, she spent 25 years in the engineering and telecommunication industry in various leadership roles such as Chief Operating Office, Chief Strategy Officer and Senior VP of Business Development. She has an AAS degree in Architectural and Construction and BS in Civil Engineering Technology.
She is very passionate in living well and creating a healthy environment. As someone who enjoys solving challenges, creating safe, natural products for our body gives Mona joy.

Join host Nick Koziol in an inspiring episode with Terrific guest Christopher Lee Maher. A former Navy SEAL, Christopher battled joint pain that threatened to derail his life. He sought answers and his determination to push through led to a holistic approach that transformed his life and countless others.
Learn about his journey from Navy SEAL to holistic healer, his innovative True Body Intelligence technology, and how it's impacting fields from sports to international politics. Discover True Body Intelligence through the mind-body-spirit power of peak performance and longevity in this must-listen episode.
About Christopher Maher
At the age of 22, Christopher Lee Maher was a Navy SEAL, in his prime with a sleek 1.8% body fat and pound for pound, he was one of the fittest people on the planet. Like many high performing athletes, he dealt with joint pain on a semi-consistent basis. Over time, that escalated to pain in every joint, in his feet, lower back, and neck. He was headed for a full-blown hip replacement, resorted to reading lips because his hearing was shot, and his vision wasn’t much better.
Through intense pain, Christopher devoted all of his energy, time, and resources seeking out answers that would alleviate his discomfort. Eventually finding relief, Christopher applied the learned techniques and worked on himself 5 to 6 hours every day for 7 years.
Christopher went on to study at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University, where he learned Traditional Chinese Medical Practices and an equal amount of Western science and pathology. He spent the last decade studying at The Universal Healing Tao System and is a Master student of Grand Master Mantak Chia at the Universal Tao Master School in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
His knowledge and experience led him to develop a comprehensive system of total physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and integration: the True Body Intelligence technology. With his help, Christopher’s clients have succeeded at the highest levels in sports, entertainment, business, medicine, and international politics.
Christopher’s practice is located in Los Angeles, CA. He is an author, inventor, entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and innovator in the fields of health, wellness, and longevity.

When you come to Sager you are in for a terrific experience. Sagar is a 5 BBL brewhouse, a cozy tap room filled with old-world charm that features a German-style long table S-bar and comfy corner. One thing you’ll also see is a sign with a quote from William Butler Yeats, “There Are No Strangers Here; Only Friends You Haven’t Yet Met”. Paul Guarracini, Co-Founder/Brewmaster of Sager Beer Works, and his business partner Don Tuminelli, created a “Beer Lover’s Haven” where friends and family can meet to eat, drink and just hang out. They didn’t just stop with an amazing atmosphere, terrific beer, and great food…they took over 20 years of craft brewing passion and built clever ways to help non-profits and positively impact the community.
About Paul Guarracini, Partner/Brewmaster Sager Beer Works
Email: paul@sagerbeerworks.com
After thirty-plus years in Supply Chain & Logistics at Eastman Kodak, Paul achieved a dream held by many homebrewers like himself and decided to go "pro" in 2012. His first brewery, Fairport Brewing Co, was successful but partnerships can be difficult, and he separated from that business in 2017. Soon thereafter, he reunited with Don Tumminelli, another local homebrewer, to open Sager Beer Works in 2018. Focusing on classic beers brewed by Paul, elevated pub food by Don, and a cozy environment to enjoy them, the brewpub has firmly established itself in the Rochester beer scene. Reflecting on their journey and those that have helped them, Paul and Don have a habit of sharing knowledge and giving back through seminars, charity beer projects, and mentoring start-up breweries.

Founder and creator of Smash Solutions, found a way to turn rage into cash. Shortino created his first rage room business in Rochester, New York, in October 2018 when he was only 21 years old. It was initially called Smash Therapy. His determination to make his brainchild stand out from the rest of the existing rage room operators in the region eventually spread like wildfire among other business owners. Smash Therapy was not only becoming famous, but it was also very successful. He started another iSmash location in Syracuse, NY, and in no time at all, Shortino became an industry leader. People came to him, asking him for solutions to their rage room issues, now you can be part of the franchise as they expand the concept nationally.

Imagine being surrounded by people who want to help you land your preferred job and being proactively approached by several employers trying to recruit you. Your next job starts with GiveToGet. Join host Nick Koziol as we learn from Jon Mardis how GiveToGet is Revolutionizing the Job Transition World.
About Jon Mardis, Founder GiveToGet
Email: jon@givetoget.us
LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-mardis-mba
Jon Mardis is the Founder of a Revolutionary Talent Acquisition Solution called GIVETOGET - Cincinnati Born & Raised, went to St. X and UC Grad and has an MBA in Finance & Marketing.
The motto at his high school was “men for others” and it stuck with him in life and career. He found that this life-guiding principle was far less common than he had hoped or expected, and it was this M.O. that inspired a vision and decision to leave a successful 20-year career as a leader in financial services to create something unique. Mardis saw a HUGE opportunity and is fired up to talk about it!
In 2019, Mardis was entrenched in the job transition world as a Managing Director and lead recruiter for a firm when he experienced firsthand the problems that he was attempting to solve. Job seekers don’t help job seekers, lack social networks and connections to get referred to employers and resort to job boards as there’s no external platform dedicated to providing warm introductions into employers. Employers are disconnected from talent and focus too much on sourcing on job boards. Talent acquisition isn’t personal, yet referrals are the #1 source of talent acquisition.
His concept and approach would disrupt a stale and fragmented industry but had no idea after going dormant in 2020, that in 2021, HR tech would be the latest craze for innovation and capital. If he didn’t recognize that talent acquisition isn’t personal and job transition is inefficient and takes personal actions to fill these voids, Mardis wouldn’t have taken the initiative to launch his company in March 2021. Mardis is excited about the journey and in love with the problems that they are solving.

Access to make a bet just got so much easier in New York State. I am sure that you have seen a number of ads encouraging you to take a chance and bet on your favorite sports team. Addictive habits can form quickly especially when you add that together with ease of access.

We invited Jeffrey Wierzbicki and Angela DiRosa back on TST to promote the services of the Western Problem Gambling Resource Center, to share more about the new trends they are seeing, and to remind us all of the common warning signs so you can support those that might be developing an addiction to gambling.

What happens to a young family when they lose a father, husband, and provider? The spouse and kids are often lost in trying to make sense of that missing piece and what to do to move forward. Struggling single parents face the enormous challenge of providing their families with the essentials and often with very little support. This happened to Dylan Walker and his family when his father, Scott, passed away from cancer. It wasn’t an easy journey but the Walker family made it through. Not only that they created hope for others like them. They started the Scott T. Walker Foundation to honor the legacy of their father and so that single parents families wouldn’t face this challenge alone.

They focus on the growth of your business and pride themselves in offering the best customer experience. Dylan accepted this role as it truly allows his knowledge of accounting to not just educate others, but to empower them to make impactful decisions for their business. His passion of helping individuals roles over into the work he does in his free time. The Walker family founded a non-profit to help improve the lives of others. They want to help families like ours. Dylan’s family lost their loving father and husband at the young age of 42. He battled cancer for four years and unfortunately lost the fight. They were left with a widowed mother who at the time was only a part-time employee at Walmart. Through the support of family and friends, the Walker Family could pick themselves up and continue to push forward. Dylan wanted to do the same thing for similar families who have gone through the same type of loss. The mission of the Scot T. Walker Foundation is to raise money to help single-parents pay rents, car payments, athletic costs, academic costs, and therapy costs. The Walker Family know from experience that there are others with so much potential, and we want to help people unlock that potential. Being dealt a bad hand should not cause families to crumble, so hopefully with the support from this foundation will the help others to stand tall.

Branden Raczkowski combined his love of biology, cuisine, and the environment to create Roc City Greens. His company provides fresh local microgreens. What are Microgreens? Microgreens are small edible plants, typically 1-3 inches tall and are often used to bring more color and flavor to meals. Unlike your typical fresh veggies, microgreens are much more nutrient-dense than their mature counterpart. So if you want great-tasting terrific meals with higher nutritional value then you should make sure you are getting your veggies from Roc City Greens.

After two years of research, development, and product trials, Roc City Greens LLC. launched in May of 2019 and has been Rochester’s highest quality producer of microgreens ever since. Roc City Greens makes everything in small batches locally at their small growing facility based in a suburb of Rochester, New York, and even supplies some local restaurants.
They give customers healthy and delicious microgreens, but most of all, expand people’s access to fresh microgreens by working with restaurants and grocers in our immediate area to provide hyper-locally sourced products to our community.

Teens and young adults have many challenges in this world. They are starting things like high school, college, and their first real job. The stress of peer pressure alone can be enough to make some crumble. Add a cancer diagnosis and this group can often find themselves isolated and unsure of where to turn. 13thirty Cancer Connect is unlike most cancer support organizations. They concentrate efforts on a targeted national problem that affects approximately 89,000 young people in the US each year. Executive Director, Lauren Spiker, founded this organization because her daughter Melissa’s last request was that her mother uses what she had learned to “make a difference, to make things better." Melissa’s legacy is a community of supporters that make huge impacts in the lives of young adults and their families. Join host Nick Koziol with guests Lauren Spiker and Steve Esposito (13thirty Cancer Connect, Program Director) to learn more about how this terrific organization makes a difference.

13thirty Cancer Connect, Inc. is a registered 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization established in 2001 following the death of Melissa Sengbusch who was 19 years old when she died of acute myeloid leukemia. Since its beginning (first called Melissa’s Living Legacy Teen Cancer Foundation), 13thirty has become an internationally known and respected leader in the field of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer because of our strong passion, clear vision, and steadfast commitment to a singular focus – teens and young adults with cancer.
Unlike many other cancer support organizations, we concentrate our efforts and resources on a targeted national problem that affects approximately 89,000 young people in the United States each year. As Melissa asked of her mom, we are making a difference. We are making things better for teens and young adults with cancer around the world.

He has built his company to bring HR into the C-suite to give Human Resources its proper role as leaders of organizational change. Join David as he shares how companies can implement standards that provide the metrics, instruments, and give the evidence that Human Resources needs to achieve what it has been doing all these years...by proving its outcomes showing its ROI.

In this episode of TST, we talk to Jim Johnson, a high school basketball coach with experience in winless seasons, multiple championship teams, and some of his players that have made it to the NBA. Every game has historical moments where a player or players are so in the zone that they perform amazing feats. Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger's sack for Notre Dame, Team USA Hockey winning Olympic Gold in 1980, baseball's Ron Necciai throwing a nine-inning no-hitter with 27 strikeouts, and basketball's Wilt Chamberland's 100 point game. Coach Johnson created a special moment like Coach Devine for Rudy, he made J-Mac's dream come true when he put him in his first basketball game. What happened in the last few minutes of that final game which honored seniors was nothing less than a miracle.

On Feb. 15, 2006, Coach Johnson made the kindhearted gesture of inserting his autistic manager, Jason McElwain, now known to the world as J-Mac into Greece Athena High School’s final home game, which the Trojans won 79-43. J-Mac scored 20 points in just over four minutes, including six three-point baskets, to become an instant national celebrity. Coach Johnson, also, was featured in major news outlets around the country. To make the Hollywood ending complete, Greece Athena captured the first Section V title of Coach Johnson’s career a few weeks later. A second sectional crown followed in 2007, and Coach Johnson then coached the Trojans to their third straight league title in 2008 by posting a perfect 12-0 record in league play, netting Coach of the Year honors. Coach Johnson has made a number of radio and television appearances, including the Oprah Winfrey and Jim Rome shows. In 2006 he met President George W. Bush, Governor George Pataki, and Senator Hillary Clinton, to name just a few luminaries. The Athena team was also paid a visit at school by NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson. J-Mac’s magic moment won the ESPY for “Best Sports Moment” at the ESPN awards show later that year.

Mike did not take a traditional path to get where he is. He dropped out of high school and got in trouble a few times as a young adult, but was able to turn it around over 15 years ago. He ended up graduating from the University of Buffalo with his Bachelor's degree in Business and go on to have a successful and evolving sales career. He has been in sales for about 20 years, ranging from outbound cold calls, inbound calls, and then worked at a bank for almost 9 years starting from customer service and leaving as a Branch Manager. Throughout his career, he has received multiple awards and has helped manage teams to become some of the best branches in the country. He has changed his approach from more of a direct sales approach to recently changing to building a business on high-quality relationships. He is now a Business Insurance Agent with Witkin Scott, a Partner in a Commercial Mortgage Brokerage Firm. And His biggest passion is a newly formed Non-Profit called GROW Buffalo Business. In 12 months, it has grown to over 2,000 members, became a non-profit, and has hosted over 150 virtual events, with mastermind groups, non-profit networking, and a youth program coming, among other things. He prides himself on being someone who can continually learn, adjust, and turn weaknesses into strengths. Most important to him is helping and support others, especially working closely with business owners to help in a variety of ways, which was how G.R.O.W. started with the 2 other co-founders, Connie and Kanishka

Mission: Camp Ta-Kum-Ta provides challenging, extraordinary experiences in a safe and loving environment for children who have or have had cancer and their families. Camp exists for Vermont and Northern New York children (including other out-of-state children who are treated in Vermont), at no cost to their families.
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta was founded through the dedicated efforts of a small group of people lead by Sheara Billado, a pediatric oncology nurse at UVM Medical. Wanting a parent’s perspective to be core to the planning, she invited Ted and Debby Kessler to be a part of the group and before he knew it, Ted became the Camp Director. Both Ted and Debby wanted to recreate the mind/body healing experience their son Todd had at a cancer camp in New York State. Together, for over 30 years, Sheara, Ted, and Debby fundraised, planned, and built an outstanding non-profit organization that now owns its own property and runs year-round programs for children with cancer and their families.
How the Camp Got Its Name:
While in the Pediatric Oncology Unit at the hospital discussing the possibility of a camp where “kids with cancer” can just be “kids”, one of the children still too young to attend exclaimed in frustration “but I want a camp to come ta!”. The name was perfect! Eventually, she did get her “Camp Ta-Kum-Ta”. Today, she is one of the many survivors volunteering during our programs.

The Bairs Foundation:
The Bairs Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps people suffering as a result of a catastrophic accident. They provide financial assistance to families that need help paying for basic living expenses during the course of litigation.
The for-profit, non-recourse industry is unregulated. Many players in the litigation finance space have business models that make the cost of capital exorbitant for plaintiffs. But access to capital for families enduring a personal injury lawsuit (even at very costly rates) is so often preferred over letting go of the quest for justice. Funding families in need during the course of litigation is critical to the civil justice system. The Bairs Foundation provides low-cost access to capital so families have the resources to go the distance with their lawsuit. They offer low, simple interest in the name of the Seventh Amendment.

Change is hard on anyone. There can be resistance to it and other roadblocks along the way. In Higher Education more often than not there is a long methodical process that takes place before a change occurs. Dr. Eric James Stephens found himself in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic and began an unexpected movement that is gathering steam towards change in Higher Education. For him, it started as a plea to connect with fellow academics on LinkedIn and that turned into a two-day event with 50+ speakers, 9 live-streamed panels, and 19 workshops. All for free. Working from his parents' basement ChangeHireEd.org was born. Join host Nick Koziol as he explores further with Dr. Eric James Stephens to discover what the future of Higher Education could be.
