BRX Pro Tip: Key Benefits of Being a BRX Guest 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 some of the key benefits of being a Business RadioX guest.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:11] Yeah. So, what’s in it for the guests? The guests get to create a piece of content that is them talking passionately about what they do, number one. So, just the content that is created from being a guest is tremendously valuable for all of the guests that we have here. Now, they have something that they can share internally through their own marketing and get the word out about what they do. Obviously, being a guest, they get to get the word out through our marketing. And when we’re telling the world about what they do, and broadcasting the show, and then kind of sharing it through all the podcast networks and all the variety of social media channels, we share it.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:46] So, you get the exposure, you get the content. But another kind of benefit that we see over and over again is the guests get to see this episode, show up pretty high whenever they Google themselves, specifically their name and/or their business or company. When they Google themselves, our—the episode that they were on usually shows up on the first page of the listing if they’re a typical business person. Now, if they’re kind of a Joe social media person, it may not show up as high, but it does show up high, usually, first page somewhere on their rankings in Google.

Stone Payton: [00:01:24] So, another benefit too, I think, sometimes, gets overlooked is when you or a guest on a Business RadioX show, you are being interviewed by someone who has been, at least, exposed to some very solid hosting facilitation mechanics. And when you do have an opportunity to share the work you’re doing in that environment with someone who really is good at facilitating that conversation is going to help you solidify your own thinking on a number of key topics, and it makes you that much better of a business person or practitioner when you’re out there in the market.

Stone Payton: [00:02:00] I’ve gotten feedback like that over, and over, and over again. And it’s almost a form of media training too. We’re very friendly, and it’s a good place to, sort of, cut your teeth. And you can go on to do other interviews, and you’re that much more better prepared for other media interviews. But solidifying your own thinking, crystallizing your own thinking, and getting better and better at articulating what you do, why you do it, and how you serve the market. I don’t know of a better place to get that committed to paper or to tape, as it were, than to be on a Business RadioX show.

SUBJECT DISCUSSED: NEW SURVEY UNCOVERS HOW INSOMNIA/SLEEPING DIFFICULTIES AFFECT QUALITY OF LIFE

Veterans Day Tie-in:   In a recent John Hopkins study over 74% of veterans reported having insomnia, a figure that’s even higher in veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

GUEST: Phyllis C. Zee, MD, Ph.D., Chief of Sleep Medicine, Department of Neurology, Northwestern University

Background:  A new survey entitled “How America Sleeps and Wakes” has uncovered that 90% of patients with insomnia or sleeping difficulties agreed that “having a good night’s sleep” means having a “good day” the next morning.1 The survey, recently presented at the 2019 World Sleep Congress, explores the impact of insomnia or sleeping difficulties on individual performance, interpersonal relationships and psychosocial behavior. The data also shows that next-day functioning is of high importance to people with insomnia or sleeping difficulties, yet most do not wake ready.

Approximately two-thirds of patients rated “waking up refreshed and ready to start the day” and “being able to function normally throughout the day” as “very important” in managing their insomnia or sleeping difficulties (63% and 64%, respectively).1
When they wake up the next day after not having a good night’s sleep, 67% of patients reported feeling tired or fatigued, and only 7% reported feeling “ready to start their day.”1
Approximately 93% of patients who experienced sleepiness or grogginess in the morning reported having these difficulties at least two to three times per week.1

The survey was conducted online by The Harris Poll, on behalf of Eisai Inc., between February 14 and March 8, 2019, among over 1000 adults.

On November 11, 2019, Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, Chief of Sleep Medicine, Department of Neurology, Northwestern University, and a “How America Sleeps and Wakes” survey advisor, will share the findings of the survey with your viewers, which also demonstrate that household cohabitants are negatively impacted in unexpected ways.

More than eight in 10 cohabitants (85%) agreed that they themselves are more likely to have a good day when the person with insomnia or sleeping difficulties in the home has a good night’s sleep.1 
Over half of cohabitants (53%) whose relatives experienced morning sleepiness or grogginess rated these difficulties as very or somewhat bothersome for themselves.1

When their partner or relative does not have a good night’s sleep, a quarter of cohabitants (26%) reported feeling tired or fatigued themselves.

Barbara McClure wakes up each morning passionate about going to work at a place that improves lives and inspires futures every day! She has been the Executive Director of a Tucson social service nonprofit called IMPACT of Southern Arizona, for ten years. What is it that keeps you passionate about your role Barbara?

Barbara has been a visionary and planner with decades of experience as a small business owner and in nonprofit leadership; her innovative ideas and strategic thinking, along with a talent for bringing the community together, has helped grow IMPACT five-fold in a very short time. Her talents and interests are diverse but all center around helping people, improving the community, bolstering education, building capacity and sustainability, being vocal about the rights and conditions of others, experiencing art, nurturing all inhabitants of your garden, and enjoying life to the fullest.

And now Barbara is about to experience another exciting chapter in her life with hosting a brand-new Radio Show Podcast here on the Tucson Business RadioX Network starting in November.

IMPACT of Southern Arizona is a 20 – year old social service nonprofit stabilizing families and seniors, and moving people out of poverty. IMPACT’s programs are designed to stretch household budgets so earned income can be spent on necessities such as improved housing conditions, fuel to get to work, utilizes, and needed medical attention and prescriptions. Its clients are your neighbors! People come to IMPACT because it is a welcoming place where they are always treated with dignity and respect, and where they find resources, referrals, coaching, and help to attain the skills that can move them forward into self-sufficiency.

Barbara grew up in Pasadena CA, moved to Long Beach for college, got married and started our family then moved to Seattle area ten years later. Took our youngest son on an 11-month motorhome trip to get to Tucson – Homeschooled for 10th grade.

We vacationed at a rustic cabin when I was growing up, where we had no phone or television; and spent all our time outside fishing, hiking, horseback riding, listening to old radio shows, playing pool, reading comic books from the local small grocer, and using our imaginations all day long. I always admired the superheroes who defended people and cities like Gotham and Metropolis, so when our three boys were born, we named them after familiar character: Colin (Bryce for an overlay of Bruce Wayne, Kent, and Parker. Our first grandchild was born last year, and as in the family tradition, named Logan, after the Wolverine. I used to always tell them they were my superheroes – and they still are today!

Barbara loves working with numbers and has always loved math and the organization of things, so accounting seemed perfect, but I soon realized that I if I became a CPA I would have to spend many months inside doing tax returns, and that did not appeal to me as a long–term career! I have a great imagination and enjoy creating things, so thought I should find a better path that might nurture that side of my personality. I was working in the shipping industry in SoCal at the time and fell in love with import and export, so shifted my majors to Marketing and International Business. Those were wonderful fits, and I imagined graduating and moving to the largest port on the planet, in Germany; then, I met my future husband and things took a different turn.

A little bit about how Barbara got into Nonprofit work:

All along with my husband and I were always involved in nonprofits and community volunteer opportunities, and often said it was too bad we could not make a living doing those things we loved so much. Leadership roles in PTO, Boy Scouts, Historical Societies, Junior League, Elks, Rotary and more. Then when we moved to Tucson I looked for a local opportunity to impact my community. A Board position was about to open at IMPACT, and my local bank branch manager, Peggy Smoot, suggested I would be very passionate about getting involved in the mission work there. I worked in the Food Bank.

There are thousands of nonprofits in Tucson. What makes IMPACT Unique is that they bring the community together to stabilize families and move people out of poverty. Our true success lies in partnering with a large number of businesses, agencies, social clubs and other nonprofits. We invest $2.5 million in the community each year, and we do it all with a lean staff of amazing professionals supported by more than 170 volunteer shifts each week! We have put great systems in place to run efficiently, effectively and with a commitment to sustainability and integrity, protecting the community’s investment in our work, striving for perfect audits, being innovative, building capacity and most importantly – treating everyone with dignity and respect. We are an award–winning nonprofit with numerous nods to incredible customer service. Our clients are your neighbors… We improve lives and inspire futures of people living in Southern AZ.

So, IMPACT is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and you have been at the helm half that time. Share with me the things IMPACT has accomplished over the years, and the things you have planned for this celebratory year.

LIVING WITH COPD DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN A LIFE OF BREATHLESSNESS.

Living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD affects nearly every aspect of daily life. Yet, nearly half of the 27 million living with the condition wait years before receiving a proper diagnosis and managing symptoms. 

 The symptoms – feelings of breathlessness or shortness of breath – can worsen over time and potentially lead to hospitalization and even death. In fact, COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. and a major cause of disability. Nine out of 10 people with COPD admit they are not completely open with their doctor when discussing their symptoms. Even more concerning, one in four patients hospitalized for a COPD flare-up to die within a year.

While many people with COPD accept breathlessness and difficulties completing daily activities as part of normal aging, these can be a sign of COPD disease progression and should be discussed with a physician. So, what should people living with COPD do? There is a need to speak openly about the impact that COPD symptoms have on day-to-day life.

 Visit www.COPD.com for additional information about COPD, which includes information and resources that patients and their loved ones can use to better manage COPD.
