GUEST:
Brianna Dang Production Manager
I was born and raised here in Tucson, Arizona. I grew up in my parent’s home alongside my 4 siblings. I have 3 older sisters and 1 older brother making me the baby of the family. I have been married 9 years now to my husband David and we have 2 kids of our own, Zakariah and Lexi. We have 3 dogs, 1 cat, lots of fish and my son has a lizard and a mouse. As you can tell we have a love for animals. I love music, being outdoors and spending time with my family every chance I get. We love taking family cruises and exploring the mountains around the town.
I have now worked for my Dad’s business ProLam Plus, on and off for the last 15 years. After working for a few different companies in other fields (some I loved others not so much) I came back permanently in 2016 to help run the business. As Production Manager, I eventually plan to take over the family business when my Dad retires. My Dad Bob Smith founded ProLam in 1996 after perfecting his skills in the same industry for 5 years prior. I myself have always had an eye for creativity so I have enjoyed working here and I am proud to be able to take over the business and to continue to serve Tucson and the greater part of Arizona with our dedication to excellence and quality in Mounting, Laminating and Custom Picture Framing services.

White Plains, Georgia native Dr. Crystal A. Champion, PT, DPT, CLT-ALM, Cert. DN, is a Physical Therapist and a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. She has 12 years of experience in the healthcare industry. Upon graduating from Greene-Taliaferro Comprehensive High School in Greensboro, Georgia in 2000 as Valedictorian, Dr. Champion attended Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, Georgia where she graduated Cum Laude and obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Education with a Concentration in Exercise Science in 2004. She was also initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc in which she remains an active member in the Upsilon Alpha Omega Chapter in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Dr. Champion attended the Medical College of Georgia where she obtained a Master of Physical Therapy degree in 2006 and a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree in 2008.
Dr. Champion has served on various committees to include the Cancer Committee, Oncology Continuous Quality Improvement Team, Unit Practice Council, and the Palliative Care Team. She has also served as a host committee member for an Atlanta signature fundraiser, Jeffrey Fashion Cares, which supports Susan G. Komen Atlanta and the Atlanta AIDS Fund. In her career, she has received accolades to include the Innovators Award for Quality/Patient Safety, a Clinical Excellence Award, and was nominated for the American Health Council Best In Patient Care Award. She is also an American Physical Therapy Association Credentialed Clinical Instructor in which she facilitates clinical experiences for students in Doctor of Physical Therapy programs.
Dr. Champion has a special interest in oncology rehabilitation and was instrumental in developing the oncology rehabilitation program as well as the outpatient lymphedema treatment program for a major hospital system in Atlanta, Georgia. She obtained her certification as a Lymphedema Therapist from the Academy of Lymphatic Studies and most recently became certified in Advanced Lymphedema Management. She is also certified in Dry Needling through the Spinal Manipulation Institute. She has lectured to breast surgery fellows at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory and participates in various community events to spread awareness about cancer survivorship.
Dr. Champion has had family and friends that have been affected by cancer and have endured horrible side-effects, leading to decline in physical functioning and a poor quality of life. Her passion for providing quality care for patients who require cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema therapy led her to start her own practice, Eminence Physical Therapy, LLC. Also, in her experience as a healthcare practitioner, she saw the need to serve cancer patients on a larger scale and encourage patients take a more holistic approach to restoring their psychological well-being, physical functioning, and quality of life as often the physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional impairments resulting from cancer treatment are often not addressed or are improperly addressed.
This led her to establish Champions Can! Foundation for Cancer Wellness, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes and advocates for cancer survivorship. She is also a published author of the book “The Elements of Cancer Survivorship: A Guide to Navigating the Journey” which is available on Amazon and aims to guide individuals and their families through their cancer journey. Dr. Champion has gained more awareness surrounding the gaps in education regarding lymphedema treatment, cancer rehabilitation, as well as the limited focus on cancer survivorship once cancer treatment has been completed. Her company strives to be the leader in providing high quality care for lymphedema treatment as well as for cancer rehabilitation.

Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona

RSS Feed
2019 marks the 20th anniversary of Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona, a non-profit founded by local Subway franchisees and partners to help at-risk kids in this community gain access to sports, sporting equipment, sporting programs and wellness who might not otherwise be able to afford it. Subway Kids & Sports is unique in that it is 100% locally funded and run via an all-volunteer board. It is, to our knowledge, the only formal Subway-related nonprofit in the country.
Since 1999, the all-volunteer team has focused on a singular goal: to help provide sports equipment, uniforms, registration fees and access to major sporting events to kids who might not otherwise be able to participate. Subway Restaurants of Arizona and their Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona team members support kids in sports because they all believe basic sports skills—teamwork, commitment and accountability—help kids throughout their lives. To date, their work has touched more than 60,000 Arizona kids.
Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona provides assistance to Arizona kids in two ways:
The first is through their Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona Grant program. Each year, they raise funds to donate to amazing nonprofits that are helping kids gain access to health, wellness and sports. They’ve given more than $1 million since our inception!
The second is through the Cycle for Success program. Through this program, local teachers are asked to nominate students performing good deeds both inside and outside of the classroom. Each month, Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona and The Be Kind People Project – in partnership with Dasani, Subway Restaurants of Arizona and Shamrock Farms – ride into several of the classrooms and surprise committee-chosen students with bikes, helmets and locks, as well as Subway lunches for the entire class. The Cycle for Success program has been operating for more than a decade and focuses on increasing children’s self-esteem, encouraging the community to become involved in the lives of at-risk children and promoting random acts of kindness in local schools. Subway Kids & Sports of Arizona and The Be Kind People Project advocate for the health and safety of children, recognize random acts of kindness that may otherwise go unnoticed, and encourage community involvement in the lives of at-risk youth.

BRX Pro Tip: Complementing Your Existing Business Transcript
Stone Payton: [00:00:01] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk about being a studio partner from the perspective of using this platform, using this idea of being a local studio partner to complement your existing professional services business.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:21] Right. And even ideally, you can expand beyond professional service business. If you have a franchise around payroll or a franchise that’s a maybe a BNI or kind of networking business, any type of franchise that sells to business people, being also in the Business RadioX business helps you have a tool at your disposal that will let you meet all of the players in your ecosystem in an elegant non-salesy way, and you get to position yourself as an authority and influencer in your business community. What better way to serve that ecosystem and meet all these important people to you than having a Business Radiox studio, a Business RadioX show that spotlights them all. And guess what? It’s brought to you by blah, blah, blah payroll service, or your networking group, or whatever franchise that you happen to be running.
Stone Payton: [00:01:15] And you’re able to do all this in an elegant non-salesy way that, for me, the positioning is just such an important piece of this. It really sets you up as that good corporate citizen that is genuinely contributing to the well-being of the business community in general.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:34] Right. And you are now the only person in town that also does a radio show that supports and celebrates the business in your community. Who else are they’re going to turn to when it’s time to buy that kind of service?
