Every day your immune system is busy protecting you from the thousands of germs around you that can make you sick. It does its job so efficiently that you don’t even notice that it is at work. Micro-organisms are present in your gut and interact with your body during periods of health and disease. When the immune system hits the wrong target, however, it can unleash a torrent of disorders, including inflammatory diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disease. Come along and be enlightened by our experts in the field.

Panelists: Dr Eoin McKinney (Autoimmunity - Dept of Medicine), Dr Maike De La Roche (Immunity - CRUK), Dr Sam Forster (Microbiota - Sanger Institute). Chaired by Prof Clare Bryant (Innate Immunity - Dept of Vet Medicine).

24 Oct - BRIDGING THE GENDER DIVIDE

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A BOOK, HOW WOULD YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO GO?

Whatever it is that you want to do in this new year- declare it.

Tell everyone.

One of the scariest things you can do is to admit your goals. What if you fail?

But saying your intentions out loud allows the universe and those around you to make them a reality.

Holding yourself accountable to what you really want won’t be easy, but it will force you to dig deep.

No one knows this better than my guest on today’s special episode of The School of Greatness. I’m sharing a speech from this year’s Summit of Greatness with an inspirational athlete and author: Amy Purdy.

Amy Purdy is a para-snowboarder, motivational speaker, clothing designer and New York Times bestselling author. She is a 2014 Paralympic bronze medalist, 2018 Paralympics silver medalist, and co-founder of Adaptive Action Sports. In 2013, She was named one of the top 15 most marketable para-athletes in the world by the International Olympic Committee.

Amy has competed on CBS’s The Amazing Race and ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, eventually becoming the show’s runner-up.

Amy used a tragedy that took her feet to push her to the next level. She teaches us to use obstacles not as a reason stop but as a springboard to new ideas.

So get ready to learn how to write your own story on Episode 743.

Amy Purdy: How to Be Your Best Self

Susan Greenhalg is a research professor of chinese society in Harvard’s department of anthropology  - not a natural fit for a medical journal you may think, but recently she has been looking at the influence of Coca Cola on obesity policy in China.

She has written up her investigation in an article published on bmj.com this week, and joins us in the podcast to talk about why a communist country would embrace a message from an icon of capitalism, and what attitudes toward financial conflicts of interest exist in the country.

RISE AND GRIND.

You have to give yourself permission to follow your dreams.

You might think, “People like me don’t don’t do that,” “I’m not ready,” or “There’s no way for e to succeed.”

But no one is going to tell you that you can. You have to know that for yourself.

It’s so important.

Your belief in yourself is the difference between success and failure.

That’s why, for this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with the creator of Fubu, Daymond John, where he shared how he realized that he could be a fashion designer.

Daymond John is the star of one of my favorite shows, Shark Tank, and is a bestselling author with a new book called The Power of Broke. He’s a self-made multimillionaire with over $4 billion in global product sales.

Daymond used to think that clothing was designed by old people in Italy who wore measuring tape around their neck. It wasn’t until he saw Karl Kani’s line that he realized that he could do it, too.

Do you have self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back from pursuing your dreams?

Learn how to make money doing something you’re passionate about (no matter where you come from) in Episode 744.

Matthew Spalding joins Hugh Hewitt to discuss the Shutdown and Israel.

Hillsdale Dialogues 01-11-2019 The Shutdown and Israel

EMOTIONS ARE GREAT SERVANTS, BUT POOR MASTERS.

So many men are hurting, and then hurting others.

People don’t want to hear that. 

But men feel like they’re emotional prisoners.

They are committing suicide at much higher rates. They are the ones performing mass shootings. They are reacting in violence.

We have to allow men ways to process their past and to express their emotions in order to become the people they are meant to be.

It’s not important to “be a man,” it’s important to be human.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the definition of masculinity with a man whose mission is to mentor boys: Jason Wilson.

Detroit’s Jason Wilson is a husband and father of two, and the founder and head instructor of the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy, also known as CATTA. In 2015, he received the Campaign for Black Male Achievement Innovation Accelerator Award. In 2016, Wilson received the President's Volunteer Service Award in Washington D.C.

Wilson has also been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show where he discussed his Emotional Stability Training® approach. In 2016, Wilson was a presenter at the White House for the My Brother's Keeper Showcase presented by then-President Barack Obama. 

What Jason is doing so needed in the world.

Like Frederick Douglass said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
