We welcome Peggy Titus Hall and Linda Minnick to our show today as they describe the launch of their teleseminar series, “Developing Your Dream Job”.

For those in our audience who are already in transition or about to be, the major question facing many in the military is “What’s Next for Me?”. Peggy and Linda will describe the steps necessary to identify, target and land the job or career you really want.

Don’t get caught in the trap of an attractive salary to find yourself miserable in the every day job. That happens to too many people who allow fear, uncertainty and doubt guide them into a job based on compensation versus finding fulfilling attributes in the work.

Historically, we know 9-15% of veterans leaving active duty will choose an entrepreneurial path. Before you take that journey, be sure that’s what you really want by listening to Peggy and Linda.

Remember it’s “BE, DO, HAVE” and not “DO, HAVE, BE”.

BE, DO, HAVE:

BE who you really are: Be honest with yourself and what you like to do and what you don’t like to do.
DO what you do best: Know your strengths, skills, interests and apply them in your work.
HAVE the life you’ve always wanted: Be clear about what you’re trying to achieve and by when.

Avoid DO, HAVE, BE:

DO what you think is expected by others.
To HAVE all the trappings of success.
To BE the person you think you should be, you’ll only end up unhappy and bitter.

Tune in to the “Developing Your Dream Job” teleseminar on June 25th, from 7 to 9 pm Eastern as the first step.

Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Overviews to Breakthroughs

00:00 /

On the heels of National Arthritis month in the U.S., this segment of The Doctors Roundtable focuses on osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These two illnesses, out of the over 100 musculoskeletal disorders, affect millions of Americans and their ability to maintain high quality physical movement throughout their lives. In the U.S., arthritis is the leading cause of disability and it is not just a disease caused by aging. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are chronic conditions with no clearly known causes. These diseases are progressive and degenerative , leading to the breakdown of cartilage, bones, muscles and membranes surrounding the joints. The effects of this breakdown include: inflammation, pain, fatigue, joint stiffness and at times joint deformity and disability. Imagine standing, sitting, lying down or coughing and all causing pain. Many patients report there is never a day they can forget they have arthritis.

The Arthritis Foundation is the nation’s largest private funder of research, public health programs and advocacy on behalf of the 50 million Americans living with this painful disease. With the aging of Baby Boomers, it has been estimated that by 2030, 67 million Americans will have some form of arthritis. Here, the Arthritis Foundation will discuss an overview of these two diseases and how they are working to fund research, change policies and educate to help arthritis patients today and tomorrow.

Upon graduating from law school, Amber became unsatisfied with the options she saw in the legal field. Ever the education enthusiast, she began Enrichment Prep after being asked to serve as a volunteer ACT/ SAT tutor at her old Atlanta high school.

Amber recently launched Failurebox, which hosted StemAtl at Atlanta Tech Village, where students from Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Emory, Spelman, Morehouse, and Clark Atlanta

University were able to tour ATV and connect with some of the most talented entrepreneurs in the city to discuss failure in an effort to provide real world lessons and avoid romanticizing the entrepreneurship experience.
