July 26th - Creating a System, Sharing It with the World

00:00 / 0:40:51

People write a book because they believe they have a better approach to a process or program or idea or presentation or just about anything. Their better system emerges from their unique perspective of the world and what they do. That is a simple yet critical truth about writing. We can safely argue there are no new ideas for books, just new perspectives on themes and story lines. This edition of Write Here, Write Now provides a look into the vision and perspective and ideas of two individuals. Brent Sampson is the founder, CEO and Chief Marketing Officer of Outskirts Press, a custom book publishing solution. Brent created his “better system” after experiencing a lot of frustration and turmoil when he sought to get his manuscripts published. Kelly Vandever founded and owns Communications for Everyone. Kelly is a highly successful professional speaker and trainer. The “better system” Kelly is creating is a book that provides insights into 5 critical elements in crafting a powerful spoken presentation.

Is July The Most Dangerous Month To Go To The Hospital?

Is July The Most Dangerous Month To Go To The Hospital?

00:00 /

There are some mixed feelings about going to the hospital in July. Some people try never to do it – but some recent research says that it is a myth. The research says that hospital mortality rates don’t rise in July but that research was done by a bunch of doctors.

But lets look at these events that happen in July. More senior doctors take vacation in the summer and in July in particular. A lot of medical school student doctors are filling in and covering more hours for vacationing docs. With both of these factors in play do you think you will get the hospital’s best staff in July?

Exercise Helps Your Lower Back Pain

00:00 /

A recent Swedish study has shown that exercise may help create more cells in the disks of your lower back. The study concluded that the increase in cells should increase the circulation which in turn will help relieve lower back pain. To us the study was too small and not on humans so take it with a grain of salt.
