    Nicholas Keating Casbarro Interview

    Today's episode takes us into a sweeping science-fiction universe shaped not just by imagination, but by real-world experience in medicine, travel, and the fragility of the human body. My guest is Nicholas Keating Casbarro, author of the novel Vitalerium: Descent into the Void. Born in Providence in 1990, Nicholas trained as a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Northeastern University and spent years working in wound healing, burn care, and regenerative medicine—traveling constantly to hospitals and burn centers across the country. Somewhere between flights over the Rockies and late-night layovers, that experience evolved into an ambitious science-fiction saga: a planned seven-book series following Roman Matthews across a planet called Deorum, where the glittering city of Kairus sits beside the most powerful energy source in the galaxy—the Vital Fracture. It's a world of beauty, hierarchy, power, and danger- and today we're diving into how it all came to life.

    My guest is Mark Kaplan, Managing Partner of the Dagoba Group and co-author, along with Mason Donovan, of the book The Parenthood Advantage: Building Corporate Cultures That Value Working Parents. In the book, Mason and Mark argue that supporting working parents isn't just the right thing to do—it's a powerful competitive advantage for organizations. They explore how companies can rethink policies, leadership practices, and workplace culture to better support employees who are raising families. This is a conversation about leadership, inclusion, productivity, and how organizations can thrive by recognizing the real lives of the people who power them.
