An easy way to make linguine meals healthier is to add some veggies to the mix. In this recipe we add some soy beans or edamames. We have found that kids will eat edamames a lot easier than they will broccoli – so you might want to give them a try. Throw down some whole wheat pasta. Now in a pan saute some shelled edamame, lots of fresh garlic, pasta, your favorite spices and some vegetable broth. Cook all that up then mix in the cooked pasta warm it up a bit and chow down.
Good nutrition is the goal most of our woman listeners aspires to – but how many of these important nutrients are you getting through food in your diet rather than a supplement? An easy way to get more minerals is to eat a handful of nuts each day – walnuts are great for you.
Kids are online and texting like never before. Do this relatively new and “virtual” interactions affect them in real life? It seems that for the heavy users of these social media that it does. Kids who text over 100 times a day and are online using social media for over 3 hours a day seem to be also dabbling in illegal drugs and drinking alcohol at a far larger rate than their more Luddite peers. So parents – pay attention.
We interviewed Dr Patricia Riley and Bill Whalen from Ampli5. According to these guys – these wristbands actually
produce strength, balance and coordination. And who wouldn’t want some more of all that? They are designed to somehow increase performance (just by wearing them) by balancing the natural energy field and frequencies of the body. All of this must be true because Dr Riley is a specialist in the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. They patiently explained why their magic bracelets are better than all the other guys magic bracelets. Is this a scam or can this really help you – listen for yourself and you decide.

With en
thusiasm and passion, Mark Myette serves as the president of the Atlanta chapter of ASTD, the American Society for Training and Development. What a fun and fascinating interview, especially having SHRM-Atlanta’s president Tamara O’Neill in the same studio as my co-host. In this interview Mark makes a compelling case for employers to prioritize training as a way of driving employee and customer engagement. In fact, he strongly encourages companies to actually begin to correlate their investment in training to other key scorecard metrics.
The payoff of Mark’s interview is at the end of the interview when asked if he would relate a real-life story of how training help impact and even transform lives. Listen in as he reveals a very positive, personal experience his wife had with a company who invested in training. You will be entertained and inspired.
