Dan Waldschmidt: Rebuilding With Resilience S:3 E:11 Legacy Series “One of the top business thinkers on the internet”, Dan Waldschmidt rebuilds  distressed companies; is the Author of EDGY Conversations; and an Ultrarunner with 38,000+ miles. Get ready for an amazing episode as Dan shows us how to rebuild a struggling company; lead under pressure; recover from failure; develop the endurance to keep moving when motivation is gone; and the “Power of RESILIENCE” inspiring this special performance by Rick of the 1970 folk-rock Classic “After The  Gold Rush” in tribute to Neil Young and the late Dolly Parton.

Dan buys companies that started fast, raised too much money, and hit a wall. Then he steps inside as the operator and rebuilds them. For more than 20 years, he’s worked across 38 industries and 14 countries, helping companies survive the moment when growth stalls, cash gets tight, and the old plan stops working. Today, he’s the founder of Phydra, where he acquires stressed technology and B2B companies and rebuilds them around cash, accountability, and a clear path to exit. Dan joined Panzura in May 2020 as Chief Revenue Officer as part of the acquisition team. Built the revenue engine that moved the company into the enterprise segment (485% growth over 3 years). Transitioned to Chief Transformation Officer to restructure operations after revenue hit record levels. The board then asked him to step into the CEO role to lead through a critical period of strategic and operational challenges. As CEO and Board Director: He rebuilds the executive leadership team, restructures go-to-market, and repositions the company’s enterprise hybrid cloud data platform in a competitive market. Leads multiple successful rounds of funding — both equity and debt-based. Held direct responsibility for corporate performance and board governance.

The arc at Panzura — revenue leader to transformation officer to CEO — is the same pattern that defines every turnaround: find what’s broken, fix the system, scale the outcome.

He’s also the author of EDGY Conversations, with more than 700,000 copies sold. Dow Jones called him “One of the top business thinkers on the internet.” Outside the boardroom, he’s run more than 38,000 miles and became the tenth person to complete Run Everest. Dan brings the scar tissue. The failed plans. The hard conversations. The decisions leaders make when there is no clean answer. In this interview, he helped our audience understand how to rebuild a struggling company, lead under pressure, recover from failure, and develop the endurance to keep moving when motivation is gone. Dan tells real stories, challenges easy answers, and leaves listeners with ideas they can use the next morning. Believing ultimately, that “Resilience Is a System, Not a Personality Trait”

Episode 9 takes us to Spokane, WA where Audrey Seymour is a Master Certified Coach with over 20 years of experience and co-author of True Purpose, guiding leaders to find higher purpose by bridging analytical thinking and inner wisdom. After 15+ years as a software development manager, she thought she had it figured out. But something was missing: there was that nagging sense that there had to be more. Sound familiar? That restlessness, along with several repetitive stress injuries, led her on a journey to her passion for coaching. She discovered along the way that our own inner wisdom holds answers we can’t figure out using intellect alone, inspiring this unique performance by Rick of 10cc’s transitional 1970s classic “I’m not in Love”. Find out more about Audrey and how to “Bridge the gap between your work and your true calling”, get the book, and take the Quiz at: www.clearchangegroup.com

Now, as a Master Certified Coach with over 20 years of experience, she helps successful leaders who feel that same “something’s missing.” They might be facing a major transition, contemplating a career change, or feeling called to something greater but unsure how to find it. What makes her approach different? She bridges the analytical and the intuitive. She still loves solving puzzles as she did in her engineering days, but she’s learned that finding your purpose isn’t a logic problem. It’s a listening problem. She’s spent decades practicing that kind of deep listening through presence-based inquiry and inner work.
Audrey is co-authoring the updated 2nd edition of True Purpose with Tim Kelley, and she trains coaches in the True Purpose® methodology. She’s also a Certified True Purpose® Coach and Consultant, and founder of Clear Change Group.

As a young child, she loved astronomy and wondered about the universe’s mysteries. Now she helps people navigate their own cosmic questions: Why am I here? What am I meant to do? And the most important discovery is that the answers are already inside you.

More about the amazing Book “True Purpose” by By Tim Kelley and Audrey Seymour:
You’re called to change the world, and the usual purpose-finding methods fall short of what you need. As an agent of change, you’re looking for detailed instructions on how you can have the greatest impact!

In this updated edition of True Purpose, you’ll learn how to connect directly with your own voice of inner wisdom, along with 14 proven methods to uncover your unique, authentic purpose. The result? Not a single vague purpose statement, but four detailed, revealing purpose statements and a precise, actionable roadmap for living a fulfilling, powerful, and passionate life.

Today’s guest from Toronto is Alan Bodnar, an emerging neurophilosopher, researcher, and founder of The Self-Driving You. For the past decade, Alan has worked to translate complex science into a self-guided framework that allows people to get back in the driver’s seat of their mind and to take control of automatic responses. Alan’s project started as an attempt to reverse-engineer his own wiring and test what works in real life. His work is focused on clear strategies, measurable practice, and evidence that holds up when the rubber meets the road – inspiring a special performance by Rick of the Michael Franks classic Antonio’s song to honor the victims of the tragedy in Nepal. Find out more about Alan and buy his book at: https://www.theselfdrivingyou.com/

Alan Bodnar has spent the past decade listening to and researching over 500 books on neuroscience, behavior, AI, and mindfulness. That has led to an original framework, outlined in his book The Self-Driving You, that explains being human as the conscious driver behind the wheel of a self-driving vehicle that does most of the driving.

His goal is to provide self-help with substance, using the self-driving metaphor to make understanding who we are and how to make the most of it accessible.

He can discuss the self-driving metaphor, consciousness, the brain as an impartial learning network, behavior, mindfulness, and human potential.

In this exciting interview, our listeners walked away with a new way of thinking about life and will have tangible strategies for taking the wheel with their driver to wire their brain in a way that serves them.

Miranda Hirezi-Mugnier, the author of “Scattered Yet Whole” memoir, has been named a Finalist in the 2025 Foreword Indies’ Book of the Year Award. Miranda is an Arab-American Christian born in Bethlehem, whose life has unfolded across cultures, continents, and moments of history. Shaped by faith, resilience, and a lifelong search for belonging, her experiences include enduring the first month of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, a period that deepened her understanding of loss, endurance, and the quiet strength required to survive upheaval. All of which became the inspiration for Rick’s Musical Medley of the Jazz Classic “Two Different Worlds” in tribute to the late Sonny Rollins and his own “Jazz for Peace” Free Jazz Poem.

A former Middle East cultural consultant and senior Arabic linguist, Miranda writes with the insight of someone who has lived history from within it. Her voice carries both humor and compassion, weaving moments of grace and reflection into stories marked by displacement and hope. Through her writing, she seeks to bridge cultures, awaken empathy, and affirm the dignity and shared humanity that endure even in the face of tragedy.
Miranda’s pride and joy is her family, whose roots begin with her parents and whose branches extend through their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all the lives joined to them. She now resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she continues to write, reflect, and bear witness.

S:3 E:6 Takeshi Arima – Be Happy Together!
In this amazing interview using the latest technology from Transync AI, Rick talks with Takeshi Arima from Japan about his life, his music, and The be-happy-together development method, inspiring a once-in-a-lifetime Live performance medley of Arima’s own song Born on Earth, the historic Japanese Folk Song Kojo No Tsuki & Rick’s own Composition Living Inside a Daydream. Find out more about Takeshi at https://www.be-happy-together.com/ and don’t forget to watch the full interview by clicking on the Spotify and Apple links above!

The musical journey of Takeshi Arima began in 2016 when he decided to take voice training for some kicks. He then started composing music in 2021.

He was born in 1965 and at 59 years old, he is originally part of the DISCO generation, but when he went to the revived DISCO Maharaja in Osaka, Japan a few years ago, a friend of his who graduated from a music college and has lived on the path of music said to him, “When I saw you dancing, I thought I would stop music. When I saw you dancing, I thought I would quit music”. When asked why, his friend replied, “Arima-san, when you hear music, images come to you on their own, don’t they? That’s not normal,” he replied, “If Arima-san practiced piano or guitar, he would be able to write a song right away.”

A while later, he had a chance to start composing music with DTM, and was able to write melody lines and lyrics, but could not create accompaniment. When he saw an advertisement on Instagram for artists wanted by “Theatre Academy”, he applied and was accepted.

After a year of lessons and arrangements by a professional arranger, his original song “Dream dance” was completed. You can listen to the song at the following URL　https://soundcloud.com/2xjpfcrzx3hh/dream-dance

Takeshi hopes that by sending out his music to the world, many people will think, “I can do it too!”

He am very happy to be able to do it himself and hopes to inspire others and at Jazz for Peace we look forward to working together with Takashi to make his dreams come true as well as make Japan a part of our 25th anniversary United Nations event year long celebration which you can learn about by going to the YouTube search bar and typing in JFP25

Episode 3 brings us the incredible story of a brain healed through the teachings of Christ. After experiencing Traumatic Brain Injury, Medical Malpractice, a Stroke and Spiritually Crossing Over, Grace King found the one and only thing that could save her. God. Over the past eight years she has since learned many things including what happens to the brain when we implement Christ’s teachings into our life. Join us for this powerful episode which also inspired a spiritual medley by Rick of his own compositions Jazz for Peace and Joshua’s Song. Her breakthrough Book titled “A Stroke of Grace” is available at Amazon and other fine outlets.  https://www.amazon.com/s?k=a+stroke+of+grace+grace+king
For more info contact Grace at: brittneyerin8055@gmail.com

Her name is Grace King. Eight years ago, The Trinity found her in shambles trying to piece her brain back together. God personally took care of her in supernatural ways. She learned what happens to the brain when we implement Christ’s teachings into our life. God rebuilt her brain from scratch. Before He showed up, her already severe TBI was shattered due to a medical malpractice, and she was living in psychosis trying to do the impossible. Dr’s couldn’t help her, and she was making a mess out of things. It took eight years for all of the visions and supernatural help to make sense. She has a lot of knowledge about God and The Trinity, and what they want for us, and from us. They mean everything to her and it is her honor to share all they did for her. She and God communicate all the time, and she feels her story will impact the community with real Biblical understandings, and real life application.

S: 3 E: 4 Legacy Series Victor Bretting: Ranch with a Purpose
From the boardrooms of construction firms to the hunting grounds of six continents, eighth-generation Texan Victor Bretting had a lot to share in his book The Man That I Would Become. Today, in addition to the general public, his North Texas ranch opens its gates to wounded veterans, terminally ill children, and young men who need to meet God in the silence of the land. The southern hospitality he provides along with his wife and family became the inspiration for Rick’s impromptu first ever podcast performance of the Ray Charles Classic Georgia on My Mind. Experience this extraordinary ranch with a purpose and his book The Man That I Would Become by contacting Victor at: https://brettingtexanranch.com

Victor Bretting is an eighth-generation Texan and a descendant of the original Old 300 families who settled Texas under Stephen F. Austin.

Raised without a father, Victor was shaped by a mother who worked sixty-hour weeks and never allowed her children to feel the full weight of what they lacked. Her grit became his inheritance. He carried that grit from the football fields of Texas to the concrete floors of nuclear power plants, from the boardrooms of construction firms to the hunting grounds of six continents, building a life with his hands, his faith, and his refusal to quit. Victor holds multiple world hunting records across six continents.

Today, his North Texas ranch opens its gates to wounded veterans, terminally ill children, and young men who need to meet God in the silence of the land.

The Man That I Would Become is not a book about success. It is a book about becoming. It is about the failures that forge character, the faith that holds when everything else breaks, and the quiet dignity of a man who stopped trying to write his own story and surrendered to the One who already had the roadmap.
This is Victor’s story—and an invitation to visit the place where it all comes together: Bretting Texan Ranch (B-Tex Ranch), where faith, perseverance, the outdoors, and purpose continue to shape lives every day.

Paul Crick: The Evenstar Launch ~ Legacy Series S3 E1
Known for guiding leaders and teams with clarity, power and presence, Paul Crick is now capitalizing on his expertise as the creator of GRACE Framework® and founder of both GRACEWorks and his own management consultancy, The Elevate Partnership, to launch The Evenstar Project – “live music that funds local causes and self-defined success.” This new philanthropic venture and return to his piano and guitar playing roots naturally caught the eye of our Host and his foundation Jazz for Peace, inspiring Rick to contribute a unique live performance of songs by Ozzy Osbourne and Pat Metheny as well as a detailed Fundraising Tutorial (you DON’T want to miss this at min. 24) designed to help Paul launch his project with funding from the first ever Jazz for Peace event in the history of the United Kingdom. Find out more about that and contact Paul directly for all of his latest work at www.linkedin.com/in/paulcrick/ and https://www.instagram.com/evenstarproject/.

Paul Crick is a marketeer by profession, a student of Aikido and music by passion and a people builder by obsession.

He is the creator of the GRACE Framework® and founder of GRACEWorks, guiding leaders and teams beyond performance to develop GRACE, the essential advantage that relentless hustle can’t deliver. GRACEsWorks is a space to explore how grace shows up in the friction of real life — and what it takes to live and lead from presence instead of pressure.

With over 20 years of experience as a consultant at PwC, Capgemini, and IBM, he’s coached senior leaders across Fortune 500 companies, scale-ups, and SMEs.

He is now the founder of my own management consultancy, The Elevate Partnership.

The Elevate Partnership seeks to help change our culture of leadership, one leader and one organisation at a time. It focuses on taking an inside-out approach to leader development, leadership development and culture shift using a potent mix of coaching modalities and best-in-class technology and tools.

His unique approach blends leadership psychology, Aikido, and creative practice to help high-achievers move from pressure to presence. He is an accredited leadership coach and sought-after speaker on resilience, culture, and transformative leadership.

Crick previously co-led IBM’s Global Coaching Community of Practice of 4,000 coaches across 80 countries and served as an Executive Coach in IBM’s Professional Coaching Service. I have taught and coached leaders, both individually and in groups, across 22 countries, including C-level executives, both within and outside IBM.

He now lives happily in the UK, nestled in nature with my wife, Tina, indulging my passion for Aikido, music and exploring new developments across a variety of psychology-related disciplines.
