On this special episode of Family Business Radio, host Anthony Chen celebrated 50 episodes of the show with two return guests, Dr. James Connelly, Results Rehab, and Meredith Fingarson, Meredith Fingarson Consulting.

Mentioning his determination to be the “Chick-fil-A” of his industry, he offered his personalized and attentive approach to healthcare as his unique selling point. Meredith highlighted her transition from executing marketing plans to strategizing them, becoming a fractional Chief Marketing Officer for her clients, and advocating for marketing success while keeping their bottom line in mind. Both guests agreed that embracing risk, maintaining confidence, and giving clients individualized attention are essential for entrepreneurial success.

Anthony closed the show with a brief commentary on taking risks and seeking help.

Carl Ware is an American success story. Born in 1943 to humble Georgia sharecroppers, he faced hardship while growing up black in the Jim Crow South. His father made history as the first black man to vote in Georgia’s Fifth Congressional District since Reconstruction.

Ware worked his way through college, taking part in the Atlanta Student Movement. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he rose to become one of the most influential business leaders and philanthropists of his generation. Ware was elected to the Atlanta City Council in 1973 and later served as its first black president from 1976 to 1979. In 1979 he was named vice president of Special Markets for Coca-Cola USA.

He founded the Coca-Cola Foundation and became known as the company’s “Daring Diplomat.” As the highest-ranking African American executive at the Coca-Cola Company, Ware would become the architect of his employer’s South Africa disinvestment and the first American businessman to meet with Nelson Mandela after his release from prison in 1990. During this time, Ware proved instrumental in the fall of South Africa’s brutal system of apartheid.

In 1991 he was appointed deputy group president of Coca-Cola’s Northeast Europe Africa group. In 1993 he became the company’s first black group president, heading the Africa operations. Retiring from Coca-Cola in 2003 as head of global public affairs and administration, Ware served on the boards of Georgia Power, National Life of Vermont, Cummins, Chevron, and PGA Tour Golf Course Properties, as well as the Council on Foreign Relations, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and as chairman of the Metropolitan Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.

Now, for the first time, Carl Ware shares his incredible, inspiring story and how he rewrote the rules for power sharing in America. Portrait of an American Businessman: One Generation from Cotton Field to Boardroom.

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 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.

The New Warrior Program was inspired by helping one future sailor get “in shape” for boot camp. The goal was to have his body and mind prepared for the stresses that he would endure at bootcamp. As they went through six months of training, Scott and team helped him with exercise selection and form. A nutritional plan was also established. He was drinking more than enough soda each day. We asked for a commitment of no soda, sugar, or highly refined foods for the six months. He made the commitment and later stated feeling much better overall.

After shipping out to bootcamp, Scott knew he couldn’t be the only one who needs help. Scott went to the local Armed Forces recruiting station, where he explained his vision for the new program. Coincidentally they had a meeting later that same day with recruits and invited him to attend and speak with the future sailors. Scott explained what he was offering and that there was no cost to them. In the following weeks, the Marine and Army stations shared his vision. The meetings were well received and we have been moving forward with recruits. This is our way of showing appreciation for the amazing service these recruits will provide our country.

Please help support our New Warriors as they prepare to ship out to begin to serve our country and defend our freedoms.

The New Warrior Program is designed to prepare them physically and nutritionally for the demands that will be placed on them in bootcamp and beyond. There is no cost to the recruits to participate in the New Warrior Program. Your donations will go directly to our trainers, equipment and supplies needed by the recruits.

Scott Marsh completed his BA in Physical & Health Education from Saginaw Valley State University in 1991. In 1994 he became certified as a C.S.C.S. ( Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist) through National Strength & Conditioning Association(NSCA), which is the worldwide authority on strength and conditioning. The NSCA supports and disseminates research based knowledge and its practical application to help assess, motivate, educate, and train clients.

Upon graduating from SVSU he worked in an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic for seven years in addition to personal training. At the clinic he worked with patients to execute their exercise programs for their injury or trauma to the musculoskeletal system(muscles and bones of the body). This includes sprains, strains, post fracture, post surgery, repetitive injuries, and degenerative diseases, ie. degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis(degenerative bone disease), and arthritis(degenerative joint disease).

When a patient had completed their physical therapy they still need to continue to exercise and do their physical therapy exercises. Scott would design the home program based around their specific condition, needs and equipment available.

After Scott left the clinic to focus full-time on his Personal Training business, he has taken his experience and knowledge gained from the clinic to help his fitness clients reach their health and fitness goals with an injury free environment and proper form being the two most important criteria.

Scott has enjoyed helping people for the last 25 years reach their health and fitness goals and, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He has also started The New Warrior Program which is a fitness and nutrition program, at no charge to the recruits, prepare for bootcamp and beyond.

Throughout his career as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist he is required to renew his certification bi-annually. He does this by attending National conferences, Personal Training conferences, taking quizzes, and maintaining his CPR certification. He is a “information junky”. He is always reading the latest research and publications to stay current and up to date so his clients have the best programs to meet their individual needs.
