The Mavericks sit down with Dr. Teri Cassidy of Fitness to Drive which specializes in services for driver safety. Dr. Terri Cassidy started Health Promotion Partners in 2018 in response to a need in the community. Many hospital-based programs for driver rehabilitation had closed across the state and families were left to make decisions about driving without comprehensive medical and performance-based assessment. Terri’s vision was to create a program where she could offer excellence in driver rehabilitation and expand the scope of services to work with drivers of all ages. The foundation of this vision is the belief that we can influence health throughout the lifespan by helping clients select and engage in meaningful life activities. Driving can be key to accessing those activities. We have driving clinics in Colorado Springs, Westminster, and Fort Collins. #driversafety #olderadults #familycaregivers #caregiving #cars #automobiles

The Mavericks sit down and focus on the future. What does that mean? Where does it go? Katherine and Francis dive into their predictions for 2024.
Grief is within us all. We never actually get rid of grief. The question is how can we share grief with others because it's in us all. The Mavericks have the pleasure of sitting down with Mr. Eric Rooney, founder of Regeneration Earth. Mr. Rooney has been passionate about nature, regeneration, and caring for humans as a farmer, storyteller, visionary, founder, death doula, and speaker. His farm in Lakewood, Colorado Half Moon Farm, provides flowers, food, education, and gatherings for the community and also works with green funeral homes to return human compost and water cremation fertilizer to Earth. Grief is a transformational emotion that is brought on by the intense pain and sense of loss felt maybe after a loved one dies but not always. It is a common human experience that enables people to get back into the swing of things, mend relationships with others, and discover hope for a future full of possibilities for development and healing. When grief is accepted and shared with others, it has the innate ability to settle unresolved emotional issues, promote healing, and foster personal growth. #grief #living #dying #love #hospice #aging #holidays

The Mavericks are sitting down with Dr. Marvin Berman to get an understanding of their incredible system, Neuradiant 1070.
What is Neuradiant 1070? I'm glad you asked - You'll have to watch the show to get an amazing understanding but on the surface, it's designed to keep the brain capacity in all stages of life high!
Photobiomodulation?? Don't worry we will have a deeper discussion on the show. Simply put - Photobiomodulation is otherwise known as light therapy.
Light therapy involves the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver a specific wavelength of light that can be absorbed by cells in the body. The LED type determines the wavelength of light and can be tuned to a particular tissue or organ.
Fortunately, we have Dr. Berman on the show who is a co-founder and will provide an incredible breath of knowledge on Photobiomodulation and Neuradiant.

No, that's not a typo "ARTIFCTS" - it's more than meets the eye! It's an incredible platform for not only saving memories while decluttering but also connecting. Join us for an incredible discussion around preserving, remembering, and connecting with "Stuff". The Mavericks are sitting down with co-founder, Ellen Goodwin. Founders Heather and Ellen grew up together at the CIA, sharing a common mission and gaining an appreciation for the value of information and security at work and at home. The pair went on to conquer the private sector, rising to executive positions while staying true to themselves and their families. In a year unlike any other, they teamed up to build something entirely new; to create a secure space to preserve and share not only personal history but world history, one Artifct at a time. As co-founder and CEO, Heather Nickerson, states, "Following my mother’s death, I was frustrated because I had her stuff, but what I really wanted were her stories. The who, what, when, where, and why behind the objects. Why did she have a certain item? Where did it come from? When did she get it? Sadly, the objects could not tell her story. Only my mother could have done that, and she was no longer here. That was the genesis of Artifcts—an overwhelming desire to ensure that anyone anywhere would have a safe and secure way to pass down stories, not just things." Their vision is truly transforming the way we save, remember, and connect not only with the past but also the future.
