Substack is suggesting writers consider doing a voice over of their newsletters as a different way of engaging subscribers. This probably won’t work with RWL, and I’m not sure it will always work with the Flourishing in the World newsletter, but I thought this week’s newsletter is relatively readable, so I thought I would give it a shot. Let me know what you think. If you like it, I’ll keep doing it. It will probably come out a few days after the newsletter if I make it a regular thing.
Please click the like button or comment to let me know if you would like me to turn this into a podcast feed.
OK – here we go…

Welcome to Episode #6 of Flourishing in the World, a podcast exploring topics related to personal and professional growth, and working toward living a worthy life. Today’s guest is David Krempels, The founder of the David Krempels Brain Injury Center. In this podcast, David shares his story of surviving a traumatic brain injury and finding his way to recovery, and eventually founding the Krempels Brain Injury Center to help other people who have suffered an acquired brain injury to discover who they are as a brain injury survivor. The son of an Evangelical minister, he was raised to believe that he had an obligation to do something meaningful with his life, which he has done, despite the setbacks he faced. During the podcast we talk about his slogan, “You're not who you were, be who you are”, and what that means to him. His story is powerful and inspiring.

Welcome to Episode #4 of Flourishing in the World, a podcast exploring topics related to personal and professional growth, and working toward living a worthy life. I am excited to share this interview with my colleague (and neighbor), Coach Marc Hubbard, the head coach of the University of New Hampshire Men’s Soccer Team. Since taking over as head coach in 2015, the team has risen through the ranks to be rated one of the top men’s teams in the country. He also has brought the school its first four America East Tournament championships (2018, 2019, 2020 & 2022) and six straight NCAA Tournament appearances (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022).
In this podcast I ask him about what it takes to lead a team to excellence. His response was that he focuses his efforts on helping each of his young men become better humans. This is an inspiring conversation with a remarkable leader.
And, as of this posting, the Wildcats will be playing for their sixth America East championship later today. We wish Marc and his team a big win!
