Today's Devo Talks is all about staying healthy - physically, mentally, and morally during difficult times. Our guest Elias Rizk is the founder of ebCard, a Montréal company that helps businesses increase the quality of their lead generation and data acquisitions so that they can make a lasting impact on the customers they serve. Over the years, Elias has devoted his life to speaking on building relationships, encouraging small businesses, and teaching marketing principles to help companies excel. 

During this show, we discuss some practical ways to thrive and not just survive, while we're quarantined at home and working remotely. The conversation is rich with anecdotal wisdom, useful tips, a dose of dad humor, and more! It's a bit longer than usual, but we believe it will be well worth your time.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
