    Episode 267 – Unstoppable Teacher and Disability Expert with Stephanie Cawthon
    Sep 17 2024
    Stephanie Cawthon grew up deaf. She tells us her story of how for her childhood she was quite isolated due to not having good methods of communicating with those around her. It wasn’t until college and the advent of the Americans With Disabilities Act that she began to learn to advocate for herself. Through self advocacy and some good teaching she finally learned American Sign Language, (ASL) and finally began to communicate efficiently with those around her. Stephanie has proven since college to be a dedicated teacher. She now is a tenured professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas Austin. In 2023 she founded the National Disability Center for Student Success. This center and the five-year grant that funds it is providing and will continue to offer invaluable information and techniques for including persons with disabilities into society especially within the college and university system. Stephanie has authored several books including a non-academic one which is being released on September 15 of 2024. On our podcast Stephanie and I are joined by two interpreters. Amanda is voicing Stephanie’s comments to me and Audrey is signing my comments to Stephanie. This episode gives us all a tremendous look into the philosophies and concepts about inclusion of persons with disabilities. I trust that you will enjoy and learn a lot from our time with Stephanie.

    Episode 265 – Unstoppable Wellness Professor with Leo Simpson
    Sep 10 2024
    Leo Simpson II is a community college teacher in Texas. He also is a speaker, entrepreneur and author among other things. He is also known as The Wellness Professor. Leo’s life has always been one of service as he tells us. His grandfather was the pasture of a church which helps explain why Leo comes by an attitude of service honestly. Even from a young age Leo was taught to serve others. As you will hear, Leo is quite the over achiever. In college while studying accounting Leo was involved in a number of campus organizations. At one point during our conversation I asked Leo if he ever learned to say “no”. He responded, “not then, but eventually”. The story is fascinating. After college Leo held down a number of jobs in which he usually excelled. While working for UPS he was recognized as even being able to save the company $20,000,000. Even so, eventually Leo moved on from UPS as you will hear. Leo’s observations about wellness are quite poignant. As you will hear, eventually he adopted an attitude of teaching wellness to people by first helping children learn to adopt a better wellness mindset through his program called “Transform Kids Minds”. His goal is to help over 1,000,000. He will tell us about it and through that program you will learn how he became The Wellness Professor. About the Guest: Leo Simpson II, The Wellness Professor, is a speaker, multi-book author, coach, business professor, and strategist. He helps people replace chaos, frustration, and confusion in work, family, and identity with wellness. Where there is weakness, void, or lack, he is poised to breathe wellness into it. As an influential executive leader with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, a Master of Arts in Executive Leadership, and a Leadership Certification, he is impacting future business excellence and wellness at Lone Star College through his unique value in the classroom with students and outside of the classroom as speaker and facilitator to his peers. He has authored 8 books with others soon to be released and has been a featured guest on a podcast with an audience of more than 130 million. His distinguished ability to lead leaders and drive business advancement contributed to a Fortune 50 operation achieving over $20 million in cost savings during one of their peak seasons. Having the unique skillset of straddling and bridging well between the worlds of strategy and execution, he has been afforded the opportunity to lead hundreds of employees, influence the experiences of thousands of residents in the apartment industry, and impact change management initiatives in more than 5 industries. Leo is renowned for his innovative management skills, empowering people at the level of their potential, and revitalizing the synergy between the two most pivotal areas of life. Uniquely, he also boasts the honor of having launched over 80 couples on the beautiful journey of marriage as a 5-Star Wedding Officiant, and the privilege of being a teacher of the Bible and a singer in the Christian community. Leo's premier effort of focus, intended to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, is an effort called Transform Kids Minds which is intended to influence over 1 million children over a 5 year period. This effort is designed to bring wellness to kids by encouraging them in their worth and value to empower them to protect themselves against bullies, prevent suicide, and stay out of prison. This effort is also designed to bring wellness to adults through positioning them to encourage kids in a unique way that enables the adults to leverage the Hidden Billionaire Success Strategy which can simply be described as Doing For Others Is Doing For Self.
