Tips for Quick Knee Pain Relief

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share tips for knee pain relief. When you are suffering from knee pain – that is not something to mess around with. Go to the doctor if it is really painful and is not getting better. But if it is just that annoying pain then try these things. Runners please stretch more – and start your urn slowly rather than full speed – you get the best stretch if your muscles are warm up a little before you stretch. Do some balance training – try the wobble board, or balance on one leg, then switch. there are lots of balance exercises that are easy and to do that will help strengthen your legs. Try exercising with those foam rollers. And if you are going to use anti-inflammatories – try the natural ones like pineapple and ginger before you go the over-the-counter NSAID route.

Originally from the Midwest, Janet Kempe earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Purdue University. After college, Janet spent 24 years as an industrial designer designing retail store fixtures. Her life, and her career, took a major shift when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Having battled the disease, becoming a survivor, Janet wanted to help others who were making the same journey through cancer. To that end, she started volunteering her time with those going through treatment at the Southeastern Gynecologic Oncology practice at St. Joseph’s Medical Group in Atlanta. Eventually, Janet got involved in the development of the SEGO We Care Foundation, where she is now the SEGO Buddies Coordinator. Janet can be reached via email at janet.kempe@segynonc.com, or via telephone at 678-420-4129.

Debbie Church has been working with cancer survivors for more than 18 years. She first worked with cancer survivors when she was a Chaplain intern at North Carolina Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She is well-prepared for this work by education, having been awarded a BA in Psychology/History from Salem College, and then a Master of Divinity at Southeastern Theological Seminary at Wake Forest. A number of years ago, Debbie worked with cancer survivors at Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers. Then, in 2008, she went back to Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers as a patient. Now back in the workforce as a survivor herself, Debbie is the Coordinator for the Cancer Survivor’s Network at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Debbie can be reached at 678-843-5051, or via email at dchurch@sjha.org.

Anthony Johnson started his career in pharmacy as a soda jerk at Anglin’s pharmacy in Buford, GA. He went on to University of Georgia to get a degree in pharmacy. Upon graduation, he worked in a hospital, worked in large chain pharmacies, and finally returned to Anglin’s, which was still an independent pharmacy. About four years ago, Anthony had the opportunity to buy the pharmacy in which he started his career so many years ago. Today, it is called Johnson’s Hometown Pharmacy – and still an independent pharmacy. Anthony tells us that his focus is on relationships and customer service. With most seniors taking 14 or more different medications, there is an 80% chance that there will be at least a mild interaction between the drugs. Sometimes the interaction is catastrophic. It is Anthony’s mission to get to know each of his clients well enough to be able to provide some advice and counsel with respect to the entire regimen of drugs a client may be taking. Visit Anthony in his store at 85 E. Main in the heart of historic Buford. He can also be reached at 770-945-9501.

Circumcision 101

Circumcision 101

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the pros and cons of circumcision. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin on the penis. It is done as part of a religious ceremony for some boys and is requested in the hospital by other parents as well. Recently the American Academy of Pediatrics has announced that the risk outweighs the health benefits and parents should not get their son circumcised. Other research has shown the opposite to be true. Obviously these differing opinions will not impact the families who do this procedure for religious reasons.

Multi Generations in a Family-Owned Business Featuring Rick Bailey & Company

00:00 /

For the first time in history, as many as four different generations are working side-by-side in business today. Mixing multiple generations in any workplace has proven to be challenging. But all the more so in a family-owned business where you not only have the complexity of different generations, but the added element of family history that can add to the challenge.

Our guests on Thursday, March 18^th have made a great discovery—if you learn how to leverage the strengths of each generation you can greatly enhance your business and ultimately have a great competitive advantage.

When Rick Bailey launched his insurance agency in 1978, he had no idea that one day his three daughters would be a part of his company. Fast forward and Amanda, Delane and Jennifer have all joined their father in the business and Rick and his clients couldn’t be more pleased.

Rick and Amanda will join us to talk about how this father and daughters have been able to come together to build an exceptional agency that will be able to continue to serve their loyal clients for many years (and more generations) to come. They will especially focus on how they have come to appreciate, embrace and leverage three different generations.

They will share their perspective about what has made the family-business thrive and provide helpful insights for parents who are considering bringing their children into their business—and children who are considering joining an existing family-business.

We know you will take away some great insights from the lively discussion with this father-daughter team.

RECAP: Preserving the Family-Business: The Collaborative Process Alternative

RECAP: Preserving the Family-Business: The Collaborative Process Alternative

00:00 /

Is there a way to keep the family business in tact even during a divorce? Our March 4th broadcast on Family Business Radio, hosted by Meredith Moore and Pat Romboletti, tackled this subject with the help of our experts. Our guest included Amy Waggoner, Partner with Waggoner Hastings, LLC, Robert Bordett, CFP and SVP of Consolidated Planning Corporation, and Marsha Schechtman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and divorce coach.

Our panel gave us an insiders’ tour of a relatively new process called collaborative practice, an avenue that can be used in cases of divorce in a family-owned business to ensure that the divorce does not destroy the family business.

The Collaborative Divorce Process is a way of practicing law where the attorneys for both of the parties in a divorce agree to assist them in resolving conflict or legal issues using cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques and court proceedings.

Collaborative practice uses specially-trained professionals from several disciplines—such as law, financial planning and social work—to create a team to help arrive at solutions that minimize the destructiveness that a divorce can wreak on individuals, family systems and businesses.

Amy explained that the collaborative process starts with an appointment with the attorney to make sure collaboration is appropriate for the situation. If it is agreed that the case is appropriate, both sides work with an attorney and team committed to the collaborative process. From there, the case is triaged: referrals made, documents signed, teams formed. According to Bob, the next stage involves meeting with the neutral team members (in “four-way meetings”) to further understanding, including such sticky matters as the emotions attached to finances.

And speaking of finances, here’s something that will get everyone’s attention. Bob shared research showing that the average collaborative case in Atlanta takes about 7-8 months and costs roughly $24,000-$26,000. In contrast, Amy said—disclaiming from the top that there is no such thing as a typical litigated case—that in Atlanta in a jury trial of a divorce with medium complexity, the average cost is about $100,000. Per party. Just for the litigators.

Take that financial cost and now tack on the emotional cost (and who in today’s society doesn’t know someone who has been scarred by divorce?). Marsha highlighted the children-centered aspect of the collaborative process. She said that the aim of the process is to have the adults see that they are “un-coupled, but still co-parents.” The collaborative practice is all about mitigating the damage on all family members.

Other not-to-be-missed topics discussed in the hour-long conversation included:

• Some examples of how to handle the structure of the business when one non-working party to the divorce wants a piece of the company.

• The special problems presented by multi-generational family members in the business when a divorce occurs.

• How to best help non-family members who work in the business during a divorce.

• Personal reflections from the panel members on why they choose to work in a collaborative practice.

• Ways to use collaborative practice in areas other than divorce.

• A discussion of resources available to help you get educated on collaborative practice.
