    Thrive with Dr. G

    Thrive with Dr. G

    She’s no ordinary doctor, though. Dr. G is a board-certified attending family physician, international speaker, and a leading media personality on TODAY and Good Morning America. She’s also the author of From Stressed to Resilient, the stress-management and strength-building guide you need to “handle more and feel it less.”

    On this episode of Yes Factor, she brings her signature storytelling and humor to chat about the lesser-known solutions to stress—that’s right, you can do more than just avoiding it. From coping with pressure to building the right mindset, she walks us through all the ways we can survive our stress… and even thrive through it!

    Making Connections with Michelle Tillis Lederman

    In the professional world, one of the most important terms you learn is: “Network.” I know it’s an old saying, but it’s crucial: so much of the time, who you know is critical to your opportunities for growth and success.
    She’s one of Forbes’ Top 25 Networking Experts and an MG100 Coach. She’s a regular contributor to NBC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, The NY Times, and more. And she’s the author of the internationally-known title, The 11 Laws of Likability, and most recently, The Connector’s Advantage. I could go on and on about this week’s extra special guest, who is none other than Michelle Tillis Lederman.

    Creating Success with Reza Izad

    Creating Success with Reza Izad

    On this episode, Reza traces his path to success in the industry, from working in a mailroom at a talent agency to starting his very own in the thick of the pandemic. 

    “We didn’t know anything. We literally didn’t know what we were doing, and we charged into that space… There were a lot of things that were challenging and difficult, but collectively as a group the attitude was ‘we weren’t going to lose.’”

    Together, we’re exploring the in’s and out’s of the creator’s economy and the team behind our favorite social media creators. With years of working with and representing some of the biggest stars across the industry, Reza knows what it takes to build a name in the content creation space—and what the creator’s highly-demanded “Yes Factor” is—and he’s here to share his insight with us! You don’t want to miss out.

    Combating Long Covid with Diana Berrent

    Combating Long Covid with Diana Berrent

    On this week’s episode of Yes Factor, we’re going straight to the experts to share live-saving answers. I’m so honored to have Diana Berrent, founder of Survivor Corps. Survivor Corps is the largest and most powerful Covid movement in the word dedicated to providing information and education for Covid-19 patients, participating and supporting medical research efforts, and facilitating a national Covid-19 response.
    Diana was one of the first initial cases of the coronavirus in the US and has since then mobilized hundreds of thousands of survivors to advocate for Covid-19 patients and provide accurate resources to support them during challenging times. I am in awe of her impact and contribution to the community because she is fighting for our livelihoods and raising awareness to things we would’ve brushed off, such as Long Covid. 

    Please listen and share this episode and raise awareness about Covid resources! Check out survivorcorps.com
