A Man for All Reasons: Mark Reid
Twenty-Ninth Episode: Mark Reid is a professor, a lawyer turned Japanese paper maker, and the creator and host of Zen Sammich, a podcast for the independent thinker and anyone who embraces life despite — or perhaps because of — its absurdity. If that doesn’t seem to make sense to you, it’s only because you haven’t met Mark (yet). He’s a man who’s not afraid to be curious, not afraid of change. He’s a man who knows he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and is undaunted by the challenge of trying to know it. Please join us for this conversation. You don’t need a better reason than that to meet Mark.

Twenty-Seventh Episode: Have you or anyone you love suffered an adverse effect from a prescribed or over-the-counter medication? Cathy had four loved ones affected within two years.

Cathy’s mission is to identify better alternatives that will work safely for each patient. She has a proven track record of developing and accelerating the growth of innovative healthcare companies that have a financial imperative to make health care more affordable, of higher quality, and more readily accessible.

The Letting-Go Girl: Sarah Kalmeta
Twenty-Sixth Episode: Sarah describes herself as a master pivoter, a corporate escapee, and a philosophical explorer who’s always up for adventure. As a Change Advisor and keynote speaker, Sarah helps people understand that Change is Good."
Sarah also hosts a podcast called, The Lounge, is a published author and poet, and a big believer in community (with something special launching in Austin later this year). Her motto is “YES, And!” It’s a technique used in improv and something that helps you stay agile while having fun.
In her earlier life, she trained day in and day out in figure skating with her sights on Olympic Gold. Later in life, she set her sights higher — on the business-aviation industry. Now she soars among the stars as a well-known voice in the aerospace sector.
After having spent 15 years as a corporate executive and 13 years in Asia, Sarah discovered her definition of success had changed … and continues to evolve. She’s learned that real success – true, lasting, sustainable success – comes from choosing significance every day as a leader, as a friend, and as a human being. Sarah believes language and speech have the power to change the world and the people in it. She’ll join me on August 19th to share her story. We hope you’ll join us, too.

The Anxious Voyage with Mark O’Brien: The Conversation
Friday Jul 05, 2024
Friday Jul 05, 2024
The Conversation: Paula Parker and Nick Sternberg
Twenty-Third Episode: In a fairly recent LinkedIn conversation Paula M. Parker and Nick Sternberg had this exchange:
Nick: When I was younger, $3.35 an hour wasn’t enough to live on. Later, $16k a year wasn’t enough to live on. So, I found a cheap flat in a rough area and ate ramen.
Paula: I had a financial slap upside the head. I clawed my way out of it. I developed the tools, knowledge, and self-esteem to know I can get through anything life throws at me.
Nick: I like the notion of becoming less fragile by realizing the material is inferior to the mindset.
Paula: Your responses are nothing short of brilliant. Mindset isn’t the only thing — it’s everything. And boy, could we talk.
Ad, so, I invited them to come on The Anxious Voyage to Talk.
Paula M. Parker Bio:
Paula’s spent most of her life building things — structure, foundation, systems, and processes to generate recurring wealth. Assuming responsibility, leadership roles, and all things building started when her sixth-grade teacher, Miss Carmola, asked her to fill the weekly orders from the Teacher’s Supply Cabinet. Fast forward to a Global Consultancy firm for the Architecture and Engineering industries. The CEO would say, “Here’s the client, the contract, and $25k in seed money. Make it happen.” Then he’d vanish for months. Paula generated $33 million in revenue with eight percent annual growth for 15 years running and an 84 percent client retention rate. Decades later, she quit and established an advisory practice to turn ideas into reality, to make things happen, and to build wealth for businesses. And when she’s not doing those things, she’s making the best meatballs east of the Mississippi.
Nick Sternberg Bio:
Nick’s had a long career as a Creative Director and design educator. He’s been given all kinds of dubious titles like technologist, strategist, visionary, and polemicist. But they’re all irrelevant. Somehow all his clients find their way to the same basic description: He may seem overly analytical at first, but he finds the important stuff that’s true and helps you focus. He calms you down and helps you discover what you already know about yourself and your goals. Often mistaken for a tough-love therapist, he’s a miner. Nick is currently CEO of Hope and Change, an agency working to prototype the future of American corporate identity by writing and producing 21st century design fiction for big brands and finding what’s uniquely American about the little ones. He’s also a God-fearing father, husband, and family man.

Spiritual Creativity: The Magic Mavens
Twenty-second Episode: Given my charmed Irish life, I’m fortunate enough to have crossed paths, at different times, with three wonderful women — Diane Wyzga, Gina Mazza, and Gail Harris. Diane was a guest on my show on November 6th, 2023. At some point, I wondered if the three of them should meet. So, I arranged a Zoom call for the four of us. From my perspective, it was like watching a fireworks display: Their energy was brilliant, spontaneous, and joyful. I dubbed them The Magic Mavens. And I invited them to join me to share their amazing energy with a wider audience. Please join us. You’ll be in for a treat.
The Magic Mavens are, in no particular order:
Diane Wyzga: From US Navy nurse to lawyer, noted speaker to litigation consultant, and seasoned backpacking adventurer to podcaster, Diane’s story is all about Falling Down 7 – Getting Up 8. For 30 years, Diane has been helping professionals take their stories from messages only they could hear to the publishing world, the courtroom, hospitals, board meetings, and the airwaves. Stories that swayed juries. Built markets. Spread ideas. Changed things. Today Diane helps professional women become successful Origin Story creators in the spirit of who they are: finding the words they didn’t know they had to connect with, engage, and enliven their audiences to action while transforming the lives of those they serve. When you summon the courage to say “Yes!” that’s the place where your story changes.
Gina Mazza: Gina’s worked and played with words professionally for nearly four decades as an award-winning journalist and author of four personal-growth books, including Everything Matters, Nothing Matters, which was praised in Publisher’s Weekly. Her newest book, Essential Astonishments: Poetic Reflections for Awakening, answers the soul’s longing to speak intimately about the bliss and bewilderment of the human experience. Gina’s company helps writers bring forth their creative expressions, particularly in spirituality, consciousness, and wellness. Her offerings include ghostwriting, editing, publishing consulting, creative musing, book promotion and branding. She also has a background in PR and advertising, media writing, corporate communications, entrepreneurship, and the use of intuitive guidance to elucidate one’s work, mission, passion, and purpose.
Gail Harris: Gail is a certified ghostwriter specializing in women’s memoirs and an IPNE Book Award Finalist for the memoir Finding Zoe. She collaborates with women who’ve risen above life’s challenges and are ready to share their journeys. Gail reveres the cathartic nature of storytelling — for the authors and for those who read their stories — because the healing is universal. She finds the gold in an author’s story or what sets it apart from other stories to make it marketable. Gail is also the author of the self-help book Your Heart Knows the Answer. Her company is Golden Ghostwriting.

The Self Regained: Brian Kelly Part 2
Twentieth Episode: Brian Kelly, founder of Human Factors Consulting, believed vulnerability meant weakness. That affected the way he saw himself and the way he believed others saw him, leading to his feeling directionless and unhappy; creating unhealthy relationships, especially with himself; and falling short of what he wanted from life, personally and professionally. As his experience grew, he learned vulnerability and other human traits actually empower connections, healthy relationships, and high performance. And he saw the need for more human-centered leadership that values humanity as our greatest source of strength. Please join us for a conversation about re-discovering yourself through grace and acceptance.
