Ryan Hogan Discusses How His Company, Talent Harbor, Disrupts The Recruiting Industry
Ryan Hogan was the guest on this episode of Success Profiles Radio. He is a Navy veteran turned serial entrepreneur who built Hunt A Killer to a $55 million company before selling it. He is now the co-founder of Talent Harbor, a company that helps companies recruit top of the line sales professionals. They offer recruiting services on a flat monthly fee basis, not based on commission so that they are incentivized to find the best candidates, not the ones that are easiest to find. We discussed how he grew Hunt A Killer to $55 million using a subscription-based business model and how to prepare a business to be sold. In addition, we talked about why recruiting is broken, the #1 mistake founders in business make over and over again, where to find the best job candidates, how to keep great talent, his vetting process to get to get the best possible fit, and the biggest red flags he sees in candidates that disqualify them. Finally, we discussed why a recurring monthly business model works better in the recruiting industry than the model that worked years ago, which role he hired first in his company, and who his ideal client company is.

Going Over the Mountain: How Outdoor Adventure (Often Alone) Makes Women Stronger with Christine Woodside (Episode #135)
Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Christine Woodside, writer, historian, editor, professor, and author of the book Going Over the Mountain: One Woman’s Journey from Follower to Solo Hiker and Back. For 20 years Chris has been the editor-in-chief of Appalachia, the country’s longest running mountaineering journal. Chris talks about her wilderness memoir Going Over the Mountain, how outdoor adventure - often alone - makes women stronger, and the ways her outdoor life has made her regular life richer and better. When Chris started hiking with her family as a child, she never stopped. Eventually, she conquered the Appalachian Trail with her husband, hiking an average of 15 miles a day. More than the distance, it’s the lessons that stuck with her during those hot, grueling days and nights she spent crying. “Put aside your emotions and just walk.” After four and a half months, she completed the trail and was never the same as she faced the regular world. She passed on the lessons of resilience in the mountains to her daughters, until later in life she decided to go on hiking alone, discovering new revelations about herself, the gift of time and living fully in a way that works for you and your stage in life. All the inspiration and wisdom she acquired fueled her other passion of writing, which she now shares to other aspiring writers in an annual writing workshop adventure. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

Harvesting Happiness
Reawakening Sexuality After Trauma: Healing, Recovery, and Sober Sex for Survivors with Stephanie Covington, PhD, LCSW, and Vanessa Carlisle, PhD, MFA
In the journey toward healing, survivors often find that intentional practices like sober sex foster a deeper emotional and physical intimacy, essential for their trauma recovery. This emphasis on connection stands in stark contrast to much mainstream sexual messaging, which frequently excludes the necessary emotional components for true sexual well-being. Development of safe relationships is threatened when media and politics overstep their bounds, making autonomous sexual expression and recovery a constant social and personal endeavor.
*This episode explores human sexuality and is intended for mature listeners.
To lay the foundation for how intimacy is the cornerstone of sexual wellbeing, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors and experts in trauma and sexuality, Dr. Stephanie Covington and Dr. Vanessa Carlisle.
Discussing their co-authored book, Awaken Your Sexuality: A Guide to Connection and Intimacy after Addiction and Trauma, Dr. Covington and Dr. Carlisle explore its core principles from various viewpoints. In the book, they examine the diverse facets of human sexuality, including the issues of entitlement and control that frequently surround it.
