Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #576: Gloria Vanderhorst
Q: What sparked your focus on preschool boys and their emotional development?
Gloria explains that classrooms are often run by women and that boys' high energy leads to mislabeling; she advocated for environments that allow movement and male models to help boys develop healthier emotional skills.
Episode #579: Bill Korman
Q: What is the difference between time ownership and time management?
Time ownership is an overarching operating system based on your MVPs (morals, values, principles) that governs every decision about where time goes, whereas time management is a tactical tool that merely moves things around on a calendar. The former changes how you think about time and eliminates guilt when saying no; the latter is a subset of handling time within that broader framework.
Episode #571: Janylene Turcotte
Q: How old were you when you shifted your career path and began your transformation?
I was around 48-49 years old when I decided to pursue a different direction, transitioning from an executive role to coaching and eventually hypnotherapy, after facing a wake-up moment that made me reassess my life.
Episode #574: Nella Dwyer
Q: Welcome, can you share a bit about your background and how you balance music, coaching, and ADHD advocacy?
I've always written and sung since a young age, and ADHD helped me understand why I think the way I do. The coaching and advocacy grew from realizing that my experiences could help others navigate similar challenges while still pursuing high achievement in multiple arenas—music, business, and education.
Episode #529: Dr. Lani Jones
Q: How can someone access The Final 1% starter kit and engage with your coaching?
The starter kit is available on drlanijones.com on the front page, and those who want deeper support can reach out to discuss a guided journey.
