BEAT, THE KEYS TO A MORE
SATISFYING, MORE SUCCESSFUL
CAREER.
>> SO I'M HERE TO SAY THANK YOU
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
(00:26):
SECURING AND HAVE SECURED THIS
BORDER.
AND AS KENTUCKY'S
ATTORNEY GENERAL SPOKE THE HEAT
WAS TOO MUCH FOR ONE OF HIS
COLLEAGUES.
>> PRODUCTION OF "KENTUCKY
EDITION" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN
PART BY THE KET MILLENNIUM FUND.

[♪♪]
GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION" ON
THIS FRIDAY, MAY 23rd WE
HAVE MADE IT TO THE WEEKEND.
I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU
FOR KICKING OFF YOUR WEEKEND
WITH US.
>>> KENTUCKY'S SENIOR U.S.
SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL TOURED
TORNADO DAMAGE TODAY IN LAUREL
(01:12):
COUNTY.
17 PEOPLE DIED THERE AS A
TORNADO HIT A WEEK AGO.
SPEAKING AT HART BAPTIST CHURCH
AFTER HIS TOUR, SENATOR
McCONNELL TALKED ABOUT THE BAD
TIMING FOR THE TORNADO TO HIT AT
NIGHT.
>> SO THIS IS THE WORST CASE
SCENARIO THAT PRESUMABLY BEING
ASLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
(01:34):
NIGHT.
AND THE HEROIC EFFORT THAT I'VE
WITNESSED ON BEHALF OF
VOLUNTEERS AND LOCAL OFFICIALS,
IS REALLY INSPIRING.
AND I WANTED TO COME AND THANK
THEM FOR ALL THEY ARE DOING.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMFORTING.
AND PRAYING FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO
(01:55):
WERE INJURED TO SURVIVE THIS
DEVASTATING OCCURRENCE.
AND SENATOR
McCONNELL TALKED ABOUT WHETHER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL SIGN OFF ON
A FEDERAL DISASTER DECLARATION.
>> YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN.
THE GOVERNOR'S MADE HIS REQUEST,
THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION ALL
(02:17):
SIGNED IT.
THE NEXT STEP IS FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE AND I HAVE NO INDICATION
THAT HE WON'T SIGN IT.
IF EVER THERE WERE A CLEAR CASE,
THIS IS IT.
SENATOR McCONNELL
DISCUSSED THE PRESIDENT'S TAX
AND BUDGET PLAN THAT JUST PASSED
THE U.S. HOUSE BY ONE VOTE THIS
WEEK AND HE SAID THE SENATE WILL
(02:37):
MAKE CHANGES AND THAT PROCESS
COULD TAKE WEEKS.
SENATOR McCONNELL'S KENTUCKY
COLLEAGUE RAND PAUL SAYS THE
BILL ADDS TOO MUCH TO THE
NATIONAL DEBT.
>>> THE HOUSE VERSION OF THAT
TAX AND BUDGET BILL PROPOSES
MORE THAN $1 TRILLION IN
SPENDING CUTS, INCLUDING MORE
THAN $700 BILLION IN CUTS TO
(02:58):
MEDICAID.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY SAYS
NEARLY 35% OF PATIENTS SERVED BY
U.K. HEALTHCARE ARE MEDICAID
RESIP RENTS.
MARK BIRDWHISTELL IS THE U.K.'S
SENIOR VICE-PRESIDENT FOR HEALTH
AND PUBLIC POLICY AND SAYS
FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR MEDICAID IS
ESSENTIAL TO SERVING THE STATE'S
MOST VULNERABLE.
>> BECAUSE OF THIS FUNDING THAT
(03:20):
HAS BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE
COMMONWEALTH, AND TO THE
UNIVERSITY, IN OUR FISCAL YEAR
2022, U.K. HAD TO TURN AWAY
APPROXIMATELY 4,000 POTENTIAL
PATIENTS THAT NEEDED TO GET CARE
IN OUR FACILITIES.
(03:43):
BECAUSE WE HAD THIS FUNDING WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN
ADDITIONAL FLOORS AND IN THE
HOSPITAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO
ACCEPT 45% MORE OF THOSE
PATIENTS.
WE'RE STILL TURNING AWAY TOO
MANY PEOPLE IN FISCAL YEAR 25 TO
(04:06):
DATE, WE'VE TURNED AWAY 1800
PEOPLE.
SO BECAUSE OF OPEN --
BECAUSE OF THE FUNDING WE HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO OPEN UP ACCESS AND
SAY YES MORE TIMES THAN WE WERE
IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
WHICH, I THINK, IS SIGNIFICANT.
IN ADDITION, IT IS ALSO ALLOWED
(04:27):
US TO ANSWER THE CALL FROM
HEALTH SYSTEMS AND PROVIDERS
ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH,
PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHEASTERN
KENTUCKY.
THAT NEED ACCESS TO SPECIALISTS.
BECAUSE OF THIS FUNDING, WE WERE
ABLE TO FINANCE SENDING
PHYSICIANS AND OTHER PROVIDERS
(04:48):
TO REMOTE LOCATIONS ONE DAY, TWO
DAYS A WEEK, ONE DAY A MONTH, TO
ENSURE ACCESS TO SPECIALTY CARE
IN THE COMMONWEALTH SO THAT
PATIENTS GET THE CARE THEY NEED
CLOSER TO HOME AND THEY DON'T
HAVE TO TRAVEL TO LEXINGTON TO
(05:09):
GET IT.
SENATE REPUBLICANS
HAVE IMPOSED A SELF IMPOSED
DEADLINE OF JULY 4TH TO PASS THE
BILL.
U.S. SENATOR RAND PAUL OF
KENTUCKY HAS SAID HE WON'T
CONSIDER VOTING FOR THE BILL
UNLESS THE $4 TRILLION INCREASE
IN THE DEBT CEILING IS REMOVED.
IN OTHER NEWS, KENTUCKY ATTORNEY
GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN JOINED
(05:31):
OTHER REPUBLICAN ATTORNEYS
GENERAL TO DISCUSS BORDER
SECURITY AND PRAISE PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP AT THE
U.S.-MEXICAN BORDER THIS WEEK.
COLEMAN SAYS THE CHANGE IN THE
WHITE HOUSE HAS MEANT CHANGE AT
THE BORDER.
>> THIS IS WHAT LEADERSHIP AT
THE BORDER LOOKS LIKE.
LEADERSHIP FROM THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
(05:51):
WE STAND IN A SPOT THAT A
BRIEFING ADVISED US ON AVERAGE
1500 CROSSINGS A DAY DURING THE
BRIDEN ADMINISTRATION DOWN TO
FOUR.
THAT IS A PRODUCT OF SOLID
LEADERSHIP FROM OUR PRESIDENT,
AMAZING LEADERSHIP FROM THE MEN
AND WOMEN WHO STAND BEHIND ME
(06:13):
AND SO OFTENTIMES AT PRESS
CONFERENCES LIKE THIS THOSE THAT
DO THE REAL MOST DANGEROUS WORK
THAT BRING US HERE ARE STANDING
BEHIND THE CAMERAS.
MY HAT IS OFF.
OUR HATS ARE OFF TO THOSE WHO
WEAR THE GREEN, WHO WEAR THE
BROWN, THOSE WHO ARE OUT HERE
WITH A BADGE AND A GUN LATE AT
NIGHT WHEN WE ARE SAFE IN OUR
(06:33):
BED.
IT WAS MORE THAN 100°
DURING THIS EVENT IN YUMA,
ARIZONA.
AS COLEMAN SPOKE, ONE ATTORNEY
GENERAL APPEARED TO FAINT FROM
THE HEAT AS YOU SEE THERE.
NOTICE THE WOMAN IN RED,
ATTORNEY GENERAL LYNN FITCH OF
MISSISSIPPI.
THE OTHER ATTORNEYS GENERAL
HELPED HER AS SHE STARTED TO
FALL AND SHE WAS OKAY AND SPOKE
(06:53):
LATER.
ATTORNEY GENERAL COLEMAN SAYS
THIS PROVES HOW HARD IT IS FOR
BORDER PATROL AGENTS TO WORK IN
THAT KIND OF HEAT.
>>> THE STATE'S LARGEST PUBLIC
SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS REPORTEDLY
SELECTED ITS NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
THE OCCUR CURE CURE
COURIER-JOURNAL SELECTED BRIAN
YEARWOOD FOR THE JOB.
IN A 5-2 VOTE LAST NIGHT, THE
(07:16):
BOARD VOTED TO ALLOW CONTRACT
NEGOTIATIONS TO BEGIN WITH THE
FINALISTS THE BOARD HAS NOT YET
NAMED THE FINALISTS.
ON FACEBOOK, STATE
REPRESENTATIVE JASON NEMES A
REPUBLICAN FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY
ALSO SAID YEARWOOD IS OFFERED
THE JOB.
YEARWOOD WAS ONE OF TWO
FINALISTS BEING CONSIDERED.
THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO NATIVE
(07:36):
MOST RECENTLY SERVED AS
SUPERINTENDENT OF COLUMBIA
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MISSOURI.
WITH LESS THAN 20,000 STUDENTS
THE DISTRICT IS SMALLER THAN
JCPS WHICH HAS 97,000 STUDENTS.
THE NEXT JCPS SUPERINTENDENT
WILL REPLACE MARTY POLLIO WHO IS
RETIRING AT THE END OF THE
MONTH.
>>> THE GROUP THAT HELPED DEFEAT
(07:58):
AMENDMENT 2, THE SCHOOL CHOICE
BALLOT MEASURE HAS A NEW
PROJECT.
PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS KENTUCKY IS
HOSTING A 10-STOP LISTENING TOUR
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THE COALITION WANTS EARLY
FEEDBACK FROM EACH COMMUNITY AS
THEY BEGIN ADVOCATING FOR SCHOOL
NEEDS IN THE UPCOMING STATE
BUDGET WHICH LAWMAKERS WILL
HAMMER OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF
(08:19):
2026.
>> THE LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT
AT WHEATLEY ELEMENTARY IS LESS
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN TELLING THE
COMMUNITY AND MORE ABOUT THE
CAMPAIGN LISTENING TO THE
COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NOW TO
CONSTRUCT THE FUTURE WE DESIRE.
AND WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE
COMMUNITY WANTS IN THAT FUTURE.
SO WHEREAS BEFORE WE FOUGHT
AGAINST SOMETHING NOW WE WANT TO
(08:39):
HEAR WHAT KENTUCKY WANTS TO
FIGHT FOR.
>> OUR COALITION IS NONPARTISAN.
WE INVITE PARENTS, TEACHERS E.
STUDENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND
CONCERNED CITIZENS TO JOIN US.
YOU WANT TO ORGANIZE WITH US TO
FURTHER THIS COMMITMENT, WE
INVITE YOU.
STUDENTS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITIES WE WANT YOU.
OUR SCHOOLS ARE THE HEART BEAT
OF THE COMMUNITY.
(09:00):
WE CANNOT DO BETTER FOR THEM.
WE CAN DO THE BEST FOR THEM BY
MAKING SURE WE ARE LOOKING
TOGETHER AND WORKING TOGETHER
FOR A VISION THAT INCLUDES
EVERYONE OF US.
>> THE 2024 CAMPAIGN AGAINST
AMENDMENT 2 WAS A MONUMENTAL
VICTORY FOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
KENTUCKIANS MADE IT CLEAR THAT
WE WANTED TO SUPPORT OUR
(09:22):
STUDENTS AND WE WANTED TO --
WE HAD ACOMMITMENT TO BUILD A
BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR EVERY CHILD
ACROSS THE STATE OF KENTUCKY ALL
120 COUNTIES.
WE ARE IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO
CHART A COURSE FOR OUR FUTURE
AND WE ARE READY TO ORGANIZE FOR
IT.
STATE FUNDING INCREASES HAVE NOT
KEPT UP WITH INFLATION SINCE THE
(09:45):
2008 SESSION.
THIS HAS AFFECTED EVERYTHING
FROM CLASS SIZES TO
TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER
RESOURCES THAT OUR STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES NEED.
THE OUR SCHOOLS OUR
COMMUNITIES THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC
EDUCATION TOUR HAS ALREADY HELD
EVENTS IN OWENSBORO AND
LOUISVILLE AND LISTENING
SESSIONS ARE IN BOWLING GREEN IN
(10:06):
JUNE AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY AND
LEXINGTON AND ASHLAND IN JULY.
OTHER STOPS ARE ALSO IN THE
WORKS.
[♪♪]
>> I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON FOR
TODAY'S BUSINESS BEAT TODAY WE
HAVE PATTYDALE TIE A NATIONAL
KEYNOTE SPEAKER TO LEADERSHIP
GROUPS, CAREER COUNSELORS C.O.O.
OF A LAW FIRM.
(10:27):
PATTY YOU'VE MADE IT YOUR CAREER
TO HELP OTHERS CAREERS.
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHRISTIE
FOR HAVING ME ON.
I HAVE HAD A FABULOUS CAREER.
YOU KNOW YOUR AVERAGE CAREER IS
90,000 HOURS.
AND I'M ON 80,000 AND IT'S BEEN
WONDERFUL.
BUT NOT ALL 80,000 WERE GREAT.
(10:48):
I KNOW WHERE THERE ARE PAIN
POINTS IN THE WORKFORCE AND THE
WORK WORLD.
AND I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE THAT
WALK THROUGH THAT PAIN.
AND THAT'S WHY I WROTE THE BOOK.
>> AND THIS IS PERSONAL TO YOU,
TOO?
>> VERY PERSONAL.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME TO MENTOR
AND COACH INDIVIDUALS OR
COMPANIES THAT'S WHAT GIVES ME
BRIGHT LIGHTS.
>> AND YOU'RE ALSO A BEST
(11:09):
SELLING FORBES AUTHOR.
YOUR BOOK RIGHT THERE, ORDINARY
TO EXTRAORDINARY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> IN THIS BOOK YOU TALK ABOUT
THREE STAGES IN YOUR CAREER.
WHAT ARE THOSE STAGES?
AND GIVE US A NUGGET ADVICE FOR
EACH STAGE WHEN OUR AUDIENCE IS
LISTENING LIKE I'M IN THAT
STAGE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
(11:30):
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE 90,000
HOURS.
SO I THINK ABOUT THE FIRST STAGE
IS BEING WHEN YOU'RE JUST
GETTING GOING.
THAT IS FIVE, SEVEN, 10 YEARS IT
TAKES YOU THAT LONG TO GET GOOD
AT WORK.
THEN YOU GET INTO YOUR GROOVE
WHEN YOU REALLY BEGIN TO BE A
LEADER, TO BE ABLE TO INSTRUCT
(11:50):
STRATEGY IN MY OPINION IN
BUSINESS.
AND CONTINUE OUT AND THEN YOU
GET TO YOUR THIRD STAGE AND THAT
IS THE STAGE I'M IN NOW AND WE
CALL THAT THE PORT FOR FOL YO --
PORTFOLIO STAGE.
YOU MENTIONED CHIEF OPERATING
OFFICER AND I ALSO SPEAK ON MY
BOOK VERY OFTEN.
I'M ON THE BOARD OF OUR ZOO
(12:11):
LOCALLY.
AND I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS I CAN
PUT MY HANDS IN VERSUS THE JUST
ONE THAT TAKES UP THE 80,000
HOURS.
>> OKAY.
FOR SOMEBODY THAT IS IN THAT
FIRST STAGE, STARTING THE
CAREER, WHAT IS A NUGGET OF
ADVICE WHAT THEY THEY DO TODAY?
>> GENEROSITY IN THE WORKFORCE
(12:31):
IS A SUPERPOWER.
FOUND OUT WHAT YOUR LEADER NEEDS
TO DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND HELP
HIM OR DO THAT.
SHOW UP PREPARED AND EXCITED TO
WORK AND YOU WILL GO VERY FAR.
BECAUSE ATTITUDES MAKE FOR THE
GREATEST GROWTH.
COME WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE,
COME WITH CURIOSITY AND BE
(12:52):
GENEROUS.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STAGE
WHERE YOU THIS HAPPENS FOR A LOT
OF WOMEN YOU ARE REENTERING THE
WORKFORCE.
WHAT IS A GOOD PIECE OF ADVICE
FOR SOMEBODY GETTING BACK INTO
THE WORKFORCE?
>> DON'T LOSE YOUR CONFIDENCE.
WHEN YOU LEFT YOU GOT TO BRING
EVERYTHING WITH YOU.
GO BACK AND I BELIEVE IN
(13:13):
DOCUMENTING WHAT WERE YOU GREAT
AT, AND WHAT DID YOU LOVE TO DO.
AND GET THOSE STORIES PUMPING
THROUGH YOU AGAIN SO THAT WHEN
YOU GO ON THAT INTERVIEW IT
COMES NATURALLY TO YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE A GAP THAT YOU
LEFT.
YOU'RE RIGHT THERE AS IF YOU
NEVER LEFT.
YOU ARE TALKING THE TALK.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY CHANGES SO OFTEN ALL
(13:34):
OF US ARE BEHIND.
SO JUST REMEMBER WHAT MADE YOU
SO GOOD WHEN YOU WALKED OUT THE
DOOR.
>> THAT IS GREAT ADVICE.
GET THAT CONFIDENCE GOING AGAIN.
FOR A LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR
THE THIRD STAGE, THE PORTFOLIO
STAGE WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
>> FIRST OF ALL BABY-BOOMERS IT
(13:54):
IS OKAY TO LET GO OF THE RING IT
IS A SAFE WORLD.
AND YOU, TOO, ARE TAKING ALL THE
SKILLS YOU'VE BUILT OVER YOUR
CAREER.
THE WORLD NEEDS YOU.
THERE ARE PART-TIME JOBS,
CONSULTING OPPORTUNITIES, THERE
ARE TONS OF COMMUNITY NEEDS.
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU LOVED MOST
ABOUT YOUR WORK.
AND THEN GO FIND THAT PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN GIVE THAT BACK.
(14:18):
YOU HAVE COMPETENCIES THAT ARE
NEEDED IN THE WORLD DON'T STOP.
>> AND THIS GOES HAND IN HAND
WITH REENTERING THE WORKFORCE, A
LOT OF TIMES IN THIS CAREER
ENVIRONMENT, LAYOFFS ARE KIND OF
A PART OF MOST PEOPLE'S CAREER
AT SOME POINT.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR
SOMEBODY DEALING WITH A LAYOFF?
(14:39):
>> IT GOES BACK TO CONFIDENCE.
I WILL SAY DO THE SAME THING I
TOLD THE OTHER TWO TO DO.
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT.
GET COMFORTABLE REPEATING.
HAVE STORIES.
PEOPLE REMEMBER STORIES HAVE
STORIES ABOUT YOUR WORK SUCCESS.
GET OUT THAT NETWORK AND
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KEEP THEIR
NETWORK, VERY, VERY, VERY FRESH
(15:00):
AND LOOK FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RECOMMEND YOU, MIGHT HAVE A JOB
THEMSELVES.
OR MIGHT KNOW WHERE TO SEND YOU
TO LOOK FOR A JOB.
STAY BUSY.
MAKE IT A 40 HOUR WEEK
COMMITMENT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
WORK THAT NETWORK AND WORK
YOURSELF BACK INTO THE GREAT
PLACE YOU DESERVE.
>> YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT NETWORK
AND MENTORING.
LET'S START WITH NETWORK.
(15:21):
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
SAY I WANT TO GET OUT THERE AND
START NETWORKING BUT I NEED TO
TAKE THAT FIRST STEP, WHAT DO
YOU DO?
>> THE BEST THING IS TO GO TO A
NOT-FOR-PROFIT AND JOIN A BOARD
OR A COMMITTEE ON A
NOT-FOR-PROFIT.
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE COMMUNITY
EXPERTS.
THEY HAVE TO BE COMMUNITY
(15:41):
EXPERTS.
AND WATCH WHAT THEY DO AND
LEARN.
WHEN THERE ARE FUNCTIONS IN
DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE, GO TO THEM.
AND IT'S OKAY TO NOT KNOW A SOUL
THERE.
WALK UP TO THE PERSON WHO IS THE
HOST.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
AND THEN ASK THEM TO SHOW YOU
AROUND.
IT'S NOT COMFORTABLE, BUT YOU
HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE BEING
(16:01):
UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN YOU ARE
GETTING OUT AND NETWORKING BUT
IT IS A VALUABLE THING TO DO AND
LOUISVILLE HAS A MILLION THINGS
GOING ON AT ALL TIMES.
YOU KNOW THAT.
>> THIS IS GREAT ADVICE.
I WISH WE COULD KEEP GOING.
ONE LAST PIECE OF ADVICE FOR
ANYBODY IN ANY OF THOSE THREE
STAGES WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR
CAREER IS THERE ONE THING WE CAN
(16:22):
ALL DO TODAY TO HELP OUR CAREER?
>> I WOULD SAY THAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW YOURSELF.
AND THAT MAY SOUND SIMPLE BUT GO
BACK AND THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE
YOUR APTITUDES WHAT ARE YOUR
COMPETENCIES IF YOU AREN'T USING
THOSE, YOU WILL BE FRUSTRATED.
THOSE ARE HOW YOU DO YOUR BEST
WORK.
KNOW YOU BEST.
(16:43):
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
>> IT WAS WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU.
[♪♪]
MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS MONTH.
AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES PLAY A
BIG ROLE IN MENTAL WELLNESS.
WHEN YOU THINK OF TRAUMA
INFORMED CARE ZIPLINES AND
(17:04):
ARCHERY MAY NOT BE THE FIRST
THINGS THAT COME TO MIND AT LIFE
ADVENTURE CENTER THOSE
CHALLENGES ARE HOW TRAUMA
AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS ARE FINDING
HEALING AND COMMUNITY OUT IN
NATURE.
OUR MACKENZIE SPINK HAS MORE.
>> OVER 56 NONPROFITS, SCHOOLS
AND OTHER PROGRAMS FROM ACROSS
THE STATE HAVE PARTNERED WITH
(17:26):
LIFE ADVENTURE CENTER FOR THEIR
TAILORED PROGRAMS.
CHILDREN AND ADULTS COME OUT TO
THE 575 ACRE FACILITY FOR SUMMER
CAMP.
EVERY PARTICIPANT AT LIFE
ADVENTURE CENTER HAS ONE THING
IN COMMON.
EXPERIENCES WITH TRAUMA.
>> YES, IT'S OUR MISSION TO WORK
WITH PEOPLE AFFECTED BY TRAUMA.
(17:49):
OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE NONPROFITS.
WE ALSO PARTER IN WITH BIG
BROTHERS BIG SISTERS AND
STEP-BY-STEP.
WE PARTNER WITH REFUGE FOR
WOMEN.
THESE ARE WOMEN WHO HAVE ENDURED
HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
WE WORK WITH ALTERNATIVE HIGH
SCHOOLS AND HAVE A LOT OF
DIFFERENT UNIQUE PARTNERSHIPS.
WE WORK WITH AGES 8 AND UP.
(18:10):
>> ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
ARE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN A
PERSON'S CHILDHOOD THAT COULD
HARM THEM INTO ADULTHOOD.
KENTUCKY HAS A HIGHER RATE OF
ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
THAN THE NATIONAL PERCENTAGE.
44% OF KENTUCKY CHILDREN HAVE AT
LEAST ONE ACE VERSUS 38%
NATIONALLY.
(18:31):
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL SURVEY
OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH.
LIFE ADVENTURE CENTER USES
CHALLENGES TO CREATE POSITIVE
EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS TEACH NEW
COPING SKILLS FOR THOSE AFFECTED
BY TRAUMA.
>> WE DO AN ICEBREAKER, A
PREINITIATIVE.
WARM-UP ACTIVITIES.
MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS FEELING
PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SAFE
IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND WE'LL
(18:51):
INTRODUCE A BIGGER ACTIVITY
WHICH MIGHT BE EQUINE ASSISTED
LEARNING OR ARCHERY AND ZIPLINE
ING.
MAYBE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN AROUND
A HORSE OR HESITANT AROUND
HEIGHTS WE TRY TO NORMALIZE WHAT
EXPRESS RESPONSE IS IN OUR
BODIES AND GIVE THEM TOOLS TO
GET THROUGH THAT MOMENT OF FEAR
(19:13):
OR INCREASED ADRENALINE.
IT'S NOT DONE THERE.
LIKE WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF
POWER IN PAUSING AFTER THAT.
AND REALLY REFLECTING.
ASKING SOME QUESTIONS LIKE THAT
WAS SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T THINK
YOU COULD DO AND YOU DID IT.
HOW DID YOU PULL THAT ABOUT
INSIDE YOURSELF?
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU TELLING
YOURSELF IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU
CAN'T DO.
(19:34):
WE'RE GIVING KIDS AND ADULTS TO
REWIRE THEY ARE THINKING CREATE
NEW NEUROPATHWAYS AND EXPERIENCE
THOSE.
>> WHILE ROCK CLIMBING AND
CANOEING ARE AN IMPORTANT PART
OF THE PROGRAM THE INFLUENCE OF
BEING IN NATURE AND THE POWER OF
COMMUNITY IS A NECESSARY PART OF
THE EXPERIENCE.
(19:55):
>> WE OFTEN BALANCE IT OUT WITH
WITH THOSE LOWER INTENSITY
ACTIVITIES.
THE LAB WRIST WALKING AND DO
NATURE CONNECTION.
A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DON'T HAVE
ACCESS TO NATURE.
THERE IS AN IMBALANCE.
WE WORK WITH PEOPLE IN CENTRAL
KENTUCKY WHO NEVER HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE NEAR A HORSE.
LEVERAGING OUR FACILITIES WITH
(20:16):
THE GROUPS THAT MOST NEED US
THAT HAVEN'T HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY.
WE CAN BRING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
OUT HERE AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE
TO EXHALE.
GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO TRY NEW
ACTIVITIES THAT ARE BUILDING
COMMUNITIES UP, THAT ARE
INCREASING THAT CONNECTION
BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND THAT IS
BUILDING RESILIENCE SO THAT WHEN
THE NEXT BAD THINGS HAPPENS THEY
(20:38):
ARE ABLE TO RECOVER MORE
QUICKLY.
>> EVERY PARTNERSHIP IS
DIFFERENT.
SOME GROUPS COME OUT FOR A
WEEKEND, SCHOOLS MAY BRING
STUDENTS OUT MANY TIMES
THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.
NOW THAT SUMMER IS HERE, THE
CENTER OFFERS WEEK LONG SUMMER
CAMPS.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M
MACKENZIE SPINK.
LIFE ADVENTURE CENTER
(20:59):
HAS A LONG HISTORY IN KENTUCKY.
BEFORE MERGING WITH LIFE
ADVENTURE CAMP, IT WAS KNOWN AS
THE CLEVELAND HOME AN ORPHANAGE
IN VERSAILLES ESTABLISHED
SHORTLY AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.
>>> KENTUCKY'S RICH CULTURAL
HERITAGE IS GETTING SCIENTIFIC
PROBING COURTESY OF A NEW
STATE-OF-THE-ART LAB AT THE
(21:20):
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY.
THE GOAL OF THE EDUCE LAB
DEVELOPING NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT
UP VEIL, PROTECT AND SHARE
STORIES OF KENTUCKY'S PAST.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE
WANTED TO BUILD A LAB HERE AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY IS
THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE PRIOR TO
THIS EFFORT TO BRING THOSE
MATERIALS TO KENTUCKY.
(21:40):
BUT WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
FOLKS WHO HOLD THIS TERMINALLY
AND INTERNATIONALLY AND THROUGH
AGREEMENTS FOR EXCHANGE OF
MATERIALS WE BRING THAT MATERIAL
TO THE LAB TO EDUCE LAB AT
KENTUCKY AND THEN WE CAN USE OUR
EQUIPMENT TO DO ANALYSIS ON THAT
RIGHT HERE IN THE BLUEGRASS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THIS SMITHSONIAN ON
(22:01):
THE EAST OR THE GETTY IN THE
WEST.
BUT IN PLACES LIKE THE SOUTHEAST
CONFERENCE, KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE,
AND MISSISSIPPI, WE DON'T HAVE A
LOT OF FOCUSED EQUIPMENT FOR
HERITAGE SCIENCE.
ONE THING THAT IS REALLY SPECIAL
WE SERVE THIS REGION FOR MANY OF
(22:22):
THE CULTURAL HERITAGE
INSTITUTIONS AND PROJECTS THAT
COULD USE THIS EQUIPMENT BUT
DON'T HAVE EASY ACCESS TO THE
COASTS.
DIGITAL EXAMINATION STUDY AND
ACCESS AND PRESERVATION IS
CRUCIAL.
I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT'S
TRUE.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CORNERS
OF THE MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES
EVEN IN THE CORNERS OF OUR OWN
(22:44):
ARCHIVES IS THAT WE LOSE THAT
MATERIAL.
IT DISAPPEARS.
IT'S HARD TO HANG ON TO.
THINGS FALL APART.
THE WORLD IS FULL OF DAMAGE AND
DESTRUCTION.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
FOR OUR CULTURE HERITAGE AND THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC
APPROACHES THAT CAN HELP US WITH
THAT CULTURAL MATERIAL I THINK
(23:04):
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT EDUCE
LAB PLAY A ROLE IN THAT
PRESERVATION, THAT ACCESS, THAT
STUDY.
FEW THINGS HAVE MORE IMPACT ON
THE CULTURAL MATERIALS THAT WE
TALK ABOUT.
SOME OF THE IMPACTS ARE VERY
FOCUSED AND PERSONALIZED.
SOME OF THE IMPACTS ARE GLOBAL.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BAIL WOLF OR
(23:29):
SOMETHING REALLY WELL-KNOWN FROM
PET RA OR THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS,
THESE THINGS END UP HAVING
GLOBAL IMPACT ON SCHOLARLY
PROGRESS AND PEOPLE'S
IMAGINATIONS.
I WOULD SAY FOR STUDENTS
INTERESTED HAVING ACCESS TO THAT
IN THE BLUEGRASS, IS PRETTY
SPECIAL.
AND IS AN AVENUE THAT YOU
(23:50):
WOULDN'T EXPECT NECESSARILY BUT
ONE OF THE THINGS WE CAN
FEATURE.
FUNDING FOR THE LAB
CAME FROM A $14 MILLION
INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT FROM THE
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION.

KENTUCKY HAS PLENTY OF
ACTIVITIES TO CHOOSE FROM THIS

BEAT, THE KEYS TO A MORE
SATISFYING, MORE SUCCESSFUL
CAREER.
>> SO I'M HERE TO SAY THANK YOU
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
(00:26):
SECURING AND HAVE SECURED THIS
BORDER.
AND AS KENTUCKY'S
ATTORNEY GENERAL SPOKE THE HEAT
WAS TOO MUCH FOR ONE OF HIS
COLLEAGUES.
>> PRODUCTION OF "KENTUCKY
EDITION" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN
PART BY THE KET MILLENNIUM FUND.
(00:51):
[♪♪]
GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION" ON
THIS FRIDAY, MAY 23rd WE
HAVE MADE IT TO THE WEEKEND.
I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU
FOR KICKING OFF YOUR WEEKEND
WITH US.
>>> KENTUCKY'S SENIOR U.S.
SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL TOURED
TORNADO DAMAGE TODAY IN LAUREL
(01:12):
COUNTY.
17 PEOPLE DIED THERE AS A
TORNADO HIT A WEEK AGO.
SPEAKING AT HART BAPTIST CHURCH
AFTER HIS TOUR, SENATOR
McCONNELL TALKED ABOUT THE BAD
TIMING FOR THE TORNADO TO HIT AT
NIGHT.
>> SO THIS IS THE WORST CASE
SCENARIO THAT PRESUMABLY BEING
ASLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
(01:34):
NIGHT.
AND THE HEROIC EFFORT THAT I'VE
WITNESSED ON BEHALF OF
VOLUNTEERS AND LOCAL OFFICIALS,
IS REALLY INSPIRING.
AND I WANTED TO COME AND THANK
THEM FOR ALL THEY ARE DOING.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMFORTING.
AND PRAYING FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO
(01:55):
WERE INJURED TO SURVIVE THIS
DEVASTATING OCCURRENCE.
AND SENATOR
McCONNELL TALKED ABOUT WHETHER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL SIGN OFF ON
A FEDERAL DISASTER DECLARATION.
>> YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN.
THE GOVERNOR'S MADE HIS REQUEST,
THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION ALL
(02:17):
SIGNED IT.
THE NEXT STEP IS FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE AND I HAVE NO INDICATION
THAT HE WON'T SIGN IT.
IF EVER THERE WERE A CLEAR CASE,
THIS IS IT.
SENATOR McCONNELL
DISCUSSED THE PRESIDENT'S TAX
AND BUDGET PLAN THAT JUST PASSED
THE U.S. HOUSE BY ONE VOTE THIS
WEEK AND HE SAID THE SENATE WILL
(02:37):
MAKE CHANGES AND THAT PROCESS
COULD TAKE WEEKS.
SENATOR McCONNELL'S KENTUCKY
COLLEAGUE RAND PAUL SAYS THE
BILL ADDS TOO MUCH TO THE
NATIONAL DEBT.
>>> THE HOUSE VERSION OF THAT
TAX AND BUDGET BILL PROPOSES
MORE THAN $1 TRILLION IN
SPENDING CUTS, INCLUDING MORE
THAN $700 BILLION IN CUTS TO
(02:58):
MEDICAID.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY SAYS
NEARLY 35% OF PATIENTS SERVED BY
U.K. HEALTHCARE ARE MEDICAID
RESIP RENTS.
MARK BIRDWHISTELL IS THE U.K.'S
SENIOR VICE-PRESIDENT FOR HEALTH
AND PUBLIC POLICY AND SAYS
FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR MEDICAID IS
ESSENTIAL TO SERVING THE STATE'S
MOST VULNERABLE.
>> BECAUSE OF THIS FUNDING THAT
(03:20):
HAS BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE
COMMONWEALTH, AND TO THE
UNIVERSITY, IN OUR FISCAL YEAR
2022, U.K. HAD TO TURN AWAY
APPROXIMATELY 4,000 POTENTIAL
PATIENTS THAT NEEDED TO GET CARE
IN OUR FACILITIES.
(03:43):
BECAUSE WE HAD THIS FUNDING WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN
ADDITIONAL FLOORS AND IN THE
HOSPITAL AND WE WERE ABLE TO
ACCEPT 45% MORE OF THOSE
PATIENTS.
WE'RE STILL TURNING AWAY TOO
MANY PEOPLE IN FISCAL YEAR 25 TO
(04:06):
DATE, WE'VE TURNED AWAY 1800
PEOPLE.
SO BECAUSE OF OPEN --
BECAUSE OF THE FUNDING WE HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO OPEN UP ACCESS AND
SAY YES MORE TIMES THAN WE WERE
IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
WHICH, I THINK, IS SIGNIFICANT.
IN ADDITION, IT IS ALSO ALLOWED
(04:27):
US TO ANSWER THE CALL FROM
HEALTH SYSTEMS AND PROVIDERS
ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH,
PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHEASTERN
KENTUCKY.
THAT NEED ACCESS TO SPECIALISTS.
BECAUSE OF THIS FUNDING, WE WERE
ABLE TO FINANCE SENDING
PHYSICIANS AND OTHER PROVIDERS
(04:48):
TO REMOTE LOCATIONS ONE DAY, TWO
DAYS A WEEK, ONE DAY A MONTH, TO
ENSURE ACCESS TO SPECIALTY CARE
IN THE COMMONWEALTH SO THAT
PATIENTS GET THE CARE THEY NEED
CLOSER TO HOME AND THEY DON'T
HAVE TO TRAVEL TO LEXINGTON TO
(05:09):
GET IT.
SENATE REPUBLICANS
HAVE IMPOSED A SELF IMPOSED
DEADLINE OF JULY 4TH TO PASS THE
BILL.
U.S. SENATOR RAND PAUL OF
KENTUCKY HAS SAID HE WON'T
CONSIDER VOTING FOR THE BILL
UNLESS THE $4 TRILLION INCREASE
IN THE DEBT CEILING IS REMOVED.
IN OTHER NEWS, KENTUCKY ATTORNEY
GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN JOINED
(05:31):
OTHER REPUBLICAN ATTORNEYS
GENERAL TO DISCUSS BORDER
SECURITY AND PRAISE PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP AT THE
U.S.-MEXICAN BORDER THIS WEEK.
COLEMAN SAYS THE CHANGE IN THE
WHITE HOUSE HAS MEANT CHANGE AT
THE BORDER.
>> THIS IS WHAT LEADERSHIP AT
THE BORDER LOOKS LIKE.
LEADERSHIP FROM THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
(05:51):
WE STAND IN A SPOT THAT A
BRIEFING ADVISED US ON AVERAGE
1500 CROSSINGS A DAY DURING THE
BRIDEN ADMINISTRATION DOWN TO
FOUR.
THAT IS A PRODUCT OF SOLID
LEADERSHIP FROM OUR PRESIDENT,
AMAZING LEADERSHIP FROM THE MEN
AND WOMEN WHO STAND BEHIND ME
(06:13):
AND SO OFTENTIMES AT PRESS
CONFERENCES LIKE THIS THOSE THAT
DO THE REAL MOST DANGEROUS WORK
THAT BRING US HERE ARE STANDING
BEHIND THE CAMERAS.
MY HAT IS OFF.
OUR HATS ARE OFF TO THOSE WHO
WEAR THE GREEN, WHO WEAR THE
BROWN, THOSE WHO ARE OUT HERE
WITH A BADGE AND A GUN LATE AT
NIGHT WHEN WE ARE SAFE IN OUR
(06:33):
BED.
IT WAS MORE THAN 100°
DURING THIS EVENT IN YUMA,
ARIZONA.
AS COLEMAN SPOKE, ONE ATTORNEY
GENERAL APPEARED TO FAINT FROM
THE HEAT AS YOU SEE THERE.
NOTICE THE WOMAN IN RED,
ATTORNEY GENERAL LYNN FITCH OF
MISSISSIPPI.
THE OTHER ATTORNEYS GENERAL
HELPED HER AS SHE STARTED TO
FALL AND SHE WAS OKAY AND SPOKE
(06:53):
LATER.
ATTORNEY GENERAL COLEMAN SAYS
THIS PROVES HOW HARD IT IS FOR
BORDER PATROL AGENTS TO WORK IN
THAT KIND OF HEAT.
>>> THE STATE'S LARGEST PUBLIC
SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS REPORTEDLY
SELECTED ITS NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
THE OCCUR CURE CURE
COURIER-JOURNAL SELECTED BRIAN
YEARWOOD FOR THE JOB.
IN A 5-2 VOTE LAST NIGHT, THE

BOARD VOTED TO ALLOW CONTRACT
NEGOTIATIONS TO BEGIN WITH THE
FINALISTS THE BOARD HAS NOT YET
NAMED THE FINALISTS.
ON FACEBOOK, STATE
REPRESENTATIVE JASON NEMES A
REPUBLICAN FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY
ALSO SAID YEARWOOD IS OFFERED
THE JOB.
YEARWOOD WAS ONE OF TWO
FINALISTS BEING CONSIDERED.
THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO NATIVE
(07:36):
MOST RECENTLY SERVED AS
SUPERINTENDENT OF COLUMBIA
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MISSOURI.
WITH LESS THAN 20,000 STUDENTS
THE DISTRICT IS SMALLER THAN
JCPS WHICH HAS 97,000 STUDENTS.
THE NEXT JCPS SUPERINTENDENT
WILL REPLACE MARTY POLLIO WHO IS
RETIRING AT THE END OF THE
MONTH.
>>> THE GROUP THAT HELPED DEFEAT
(07:58):
AMENDMENT 2, THE SCHOOL CHOICE
BALLOT MEASURE HAS A NEW
PROJECT.
PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS KENTUCKY IS
HOSTING A 10-STOP LISTENING TOUR
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THE COALITION WANTS EARLY
FEEDBACK FROM EACH COMMUNITY AS
THEY BEGIN ADVOCATING FOR SCHOOL
NEEDS IN THE UPCOMING STATE
BUDGET WHICH LAWMAKERS WILL
HAMMER OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF
(08:19):
2026.
>> THE LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT
AT WHEATLEY ELEMENTARY IS LESS
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN TELLING THE
COMMUNITY AND MORE ABOUT THE
CAMPAIGN LISTENING TO THE
COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NOW TO
CONSTRUCT THE FUTURE WE DESIRE.
AND WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE
COMMUNITY WANTS IN THAT FUTURE.
SO WHEREAS BEFORE WE FOUGHT
AGAINST SOMETHING NOW WE WANT TO
(08:39):
HEAR WHAT KENTUCKY WANTS TO
FIGHT FOR.
>> OUR COALITION IS NONPARTISAN.
WE INVITE PARENTS, TEACHERS E.
STUDENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND
CONCERNED CITIZENS TO JOIN US.
YOU WANT TO ORGANIZE WITH US TO
FURTHER THIS COMMITMENT, WE
INVITE YOU.
STUDENTS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITIES WE WANT YOU.
OUR SCHOOLS ARE THE HEART BEAT
OF THE COMMUNITY.
(09:00):
WE CANNOT DO BETTER FOR THEM.
WE CAN DO THE BEST FOR THEM BY
MAKING SURE WE ARE LOOKING
TOGETHER AND WORKING TOGETHER
FOR A VISION THAT INCLUDES
EVERYONE OF US.
>> THE 2024 CAMPAIGN AGAINST
AMENDMENT 2 WAS A MONUMENTAL
VICTORY FOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
KENTUCKIANS MADE IT CLEAR THAT
WE WANTED TO SUPPORT OUR
(09:22):
STUDENTS AND WE WANTED TO --
WE HAD ACOMMITMENT TO BUILD A
BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR EVERY CHILD
ACROSS THE STATE OF KENTUCKY ALL
120 COUNTIES.
WE ARE IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO
CHART A COURSE FOR OUR FUTURE
AND WE ARE READY TO ORGANIZE FOR
IT.
STATE FUNDING INCREASES HAVE NOT
KEPT UP WITH INFLATION SINCE THE
(09:45):
2008 SESSION.
THIS HAS AFFECTED EVERYTHING
FROM CLASS SIZES TO
TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER
RESOURCES THAT OUR STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES NEED.
THE OUR SCHOOLS OUR
COMMUNITIES THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC
EDUCATION TOUR HAS ALREADY HELD
EVENTS IN OWENSBORO AND
LOUISVILLE AND LISTENING
SESSIONS ARE IN BOWLING GREEN IN
(10:06):
JUNE AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY AND
LEXINGTON AND ASHLAND IN JULY.
OTHER STOPS ARE ALSO IN THE
WORKS.
[♪♪]
>> I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON FOR
TODAY'S BUSINESS BEAT TODAY WE
HAVE PATTYDALE TIE A NATIONAL
KEYNOTE SPEAKER TO LEADERSHIP
GROUPS, CAREER COUNSELORS C.O.O.
OF A LAW FIRM.
(10:27):
PATTY YOU'VE MADE IT YOUR CAREER
TO HELP OTHERS CAREERS.
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHRISTIE
FOR HAVING ME ON.
I HAVE HAD A FABULOUS CAREER.
YOU KNOW YOUR AVERAGE CAREER IS
90,000 HOURS.
AND I'M ON 80,000 AND IT'S BEEN
WONDERFUL.
BUT NOT ALL 80,000 WERE GREAT.
(10:48):
I KNOW WHERE THERE ARE PAIN
POINTS IN THE WORKFORCE AND THE
WORK WORLD.
AND I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE THAT
WALK THROUGH THAT PAIN.
AND THAT'S WHY I WROTE THE BOOK.
>> AND THIS IS PERSONAL TO YOU,
TOO?
>> VERY PERSONAL.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME TO MENTOR
AND COACH INDIVIDUALS OR
COMPANIES THAT'S WHAT GIVES ME
BRIGHT LIGHTS.
>> AND YOU'RE ALSO A BEST
(11:09):
SELLING FORBES AUTHOR.
YOUR BOOK RIGHT THERE, ORDINARY
TO EXTRAORDINARY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> IN THIS BOOK YOU TALK ABOUT
THREE STAGES IN YOUR CAREER.
WHAT ARE THOSE STAGES?
AND GIVE US A NUGGET ADVICE FOR
EACH STAGE WHEN OUR AUDIENCE IS
LISTENING LIKE I'M IN THAT
STAGE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
(11:30):
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE 90,000
HOURS.
SO I THINK ABOUT THE FIRST STAGE
IS BEING WHEN YOU'RE JUST
GETTING GOING.
THAT IS FIVE, SEVEN, 10 YEARS IT
TAKES YOU THAT LONG TO GET GOOD
AT WORK.
THEN YOU GET INTO YOUR GROOVE
WHEN YOU REALLY BEGIN TO BE A
LEADER, TO BE ABLE TO INSTRUCT
(11:50):
STRATEGY IN MY OPINION IN
BUSINESS.
AND CONTINUE OUT AND THEN YOU
GET TO YOUR THIRD STAGE AND THAT
IS THE STAGE I'M IN NOW AND WE
CALL THAT THE PORT FOR FOL YO --
PORTFOLIO STAGE.
YOU MENTIONED CHIEF OPERATING
OFFICER AND I ALSO SPEAK ON MY
BOOK VERY OFTEN.
I'M ON THE BOARD OF OUR ZOO
(12:11):
LOCALLY.
AND I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS I CAN
PUT MY HANDS IN VERSUS THE JUST
ONE THAT TAKES UP THE 80,000
HOURS.
>> OKAY.
FOR SOMEBODY THAT IS IN THAT
FIRST STAGE, STARTING THE
CAREER, WHAT IS A NUGGET OF
ADVICE WHAT THEY THEY DO TODAY?
>> GENEROSITY IN THE WORKFORCE
(12:31):
IS A SUPERPOWER.
FOUND OUT WHAT YOUR LEADER NEEDS
TO DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND HELP
HIM OR DO THAT.
SHOW UP PREPARED AND EXCITED TO
WORK AND YOU WILL GO VERY FAR.
BECAUSE ATTITUDES MAKE FOR THE
GREATEST GROWTH.
COME WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE,
COME WITH CURIOSITY AND BE
(12:52):
GENEROUS.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STAGE
WHERE YOU THIS HAPPENS FOR A LOT
OF WOMEN YOU ARE REENTERING THE
WORKFORCE.
WHAT IS A GOOD PIECE OF ADVICE
FOR SOMEBODY GETTING BACK INTO
THE WORKFORCE?
>> DON'T LOSE YOUR CONFIDENCE.
WHEN YOU LEFT YOU GOT TO BRING
EVERYTHING WITH YOU.
GO BACK AND I BELIEVE IN
(13:13):
DOCUMENTING WHAT WERE YOU GREAT
AT, AND WHAT DID YOU LOVE TO DO.
AND GET THOSE STORIES PUMPING
THROUGH YOU AGAIN SO THAT WHEN
YOU GO ON THAT INTERVIEW IT
COMES NATURALLY TO YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE A GAP THAT YOU
LEFT.
YOU'RE RIGHT THERE AS IF YOU
NEVER LEFT.
YOU ARE TALKING THE TALK.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY CHANGES SO OFTEN ALL
(13:34):
OF US ARE BEHIND.
SO JUST REMEMBER WHAT MADE YOU
SO GOOD WHEN YOU WALKED OUT THE
DOOR.
>> THAT IS GREAT ADVICE.
GET THAT CONFIDENCE GOING AGAIN.
FOR A LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR
THE THIRD STAGE, THE PORTFOLIO
STAGE WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
>> FIRST OF ALL BABY-BOOMERS IT
(13:54):
IS OKAY TO LET GO OF THE RING IT
IS A SAFE WORLD.
AND YOU, TOO, ARE TAKING ALL THE
SKILLS YOU'VE BUILT OVER YOUR
CAREER.
THE WORLD NEEDS YOU.
THERE ARE PART-TIME JOBS,
CONSULTING OPPORTUNITIES, THERE
ARE TONS OF COMMUNITY NEEDS.
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU LOVED MOST
ABOUT YOUR WORK.
AND THEN GO FIND THAT PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN GIVE THAT BACK.
(14:18):
YOU HAVE COMPETENCIES THAT ARE
NEEDED IN THE WORLD DON'T STOP.
>> AND THIS GOES HAND IN HAND
WITH REENTERING THE WORKFORCE, A
LOT OF TIMES IN THIS CAREER
ENVIRONMENT, LAYOFFS ARE KIND OF
A PART OF MOST PEOPLE'S CAREER
AT SOME POINT.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR
SOMEBODY DEALING WITH A LAYOFF?
(14:39):
>> IT GOES BACK TO CONFIDENCE.
I WILL SAY DO THE SAME THING I
TOLD THE OTHER TWO TO DO.
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT.
GET COMFORTABLE REPEATING.
HAVE STORIES.
PEOPLE REMEMBER STORIES HAVE
STORIES ABOUT YOUR WORK SUCCESS.
GET OUT THAT NETWORK AND
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KEEP THEIR
NETWORK, VERY, VERY, VERY FRESH
(15:00):
AND LOOK FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RECOMMEND YOU, MIGHT HAVE A JOB
THEMSELVES.
OR MIGHT KNOW WHERE TO SEND YOU
TO LOOK FOR A JOB.
STAY BUSY.
MAKE IT A 40 HOUR WEEK
COMMITMENT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
WORK THAT NETWORK AND WORK
YOURSELF BACK INTO THE GREAT
PLACE YOU DESERVE.
>> YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT NETWORK
AND MENTORING.
LET'S START WITH NETWORK.
(15:21):
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
SAY I WANT TO GET OUT THERE AND
START NETWORKING BUT I NEED TO
TAKE THAT FIRST STEP, WHAT DO
YOU DO?
>> THE BEST THING IS TO GO TO A
NOT-FOR-PROFIT AND JOIN A BOARD
OR A COMMITTEE ON A
NOT-FOR-PROFIT.
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE COMMUNITY
EXPERTS.
THEY HAVE TO BE COMMUNITY
(15:41):
EXPERTS.
AND WATCH WHAT THEY DO AND
LEARN.
WHEN THERE ARE FUNCTIONS IN
DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE, GO TO THEM.
AND IT'S OKAY TO NOT KNOW A SOUL
THERE.
WALK UP TO THE PERSON WHO IS THE
HOST.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
AND THEN ASK THEM TO SHOW YOU
AROUND.
IT'S NOT COMFORTABLE, BUT YOU
HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE BEING
(16:01):
UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN YOU ARE
GETTING OUT AND NETWORKING BUT
IT IS A VALUABLE THING TO DO AND
LOUISVILLE HAS A MILLION THINGS
GOING ON AT ALL TIMES.
YOU KNOW THAT.
>> THIS IS GREAT ADVICE.
I WISH WE COULD KEEP GOING.
ONE LAST PIECE OF ADVICE FOR
ANYBODY IN ANY OF THOSE THREE
STAGES WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR
CAREER IS THERE ONE THING WE CAN
(16:22):
ALL DO TODAY TO HELP OUR CAREER?
>> I WOULD SAY THAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW YOURSELF.
AND THAT MAY SOUND SIMPLE BUT GO
BACK AND THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE
YOUR APTITUDES WHAT ARE YOUR
COMPETENCIES IF YOU AREN'T USING
THOSE, YOU WILL BE FRUSTRATED.
THOSE ARE HOW YOU DO YOUR BEST
WORK.
KNOW YOU BEST.
(16:43):
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
>> IT WAS WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU.
[♪♪]
MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS MONTH.
AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES PLAY A
BIG ROLE IN MENTAL WELLNESS.
WHEN YOU THINK OF TRAUMA
INFORMED CARE ZIPLINES AND
(17:04):
ARCHERY MAY NOT BE THE FIRST
THINGS THAT COME TO MIND AT LIFE
ADVENTURE CENTER THOSE
CHALLENGES ARE HOW TRAUMA
AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS ARE FINDING
HEALING AND COMMUNITY OUT IN
NATURE.
OUR MACKENZIE SPINK HAS MORE.
>> OVER 56 NONPROFITS, SCHOOLS
AND OTHER PROGRAMS FROM ACROSS
THE STATE HAVE PARTNERED WITH
(17:26):
LIFE ADVENTURE CENTER FOR THEIR
TAILORED PROGRAMS.
CHILDREN AND ADULTS COME OUT TO
THE 575 ACRE FACILITY FOR SUMMER
CAMP.
EVERY PARTICIPANT AT LIFE
ADVENTURE CENTER HAS ONE THING
IN COMMON.
EXPERIENCES WITH TRAUMA.
>> YES, IT'S OUR MISSION TO WORK
WITH PEOPLE AFFECTED BY TRAUMA.
(17:49):
OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE NONPROFITS.
WE ALSO PARTER IN WITH BIG
BROTHERS BIG SISTERS AND
STEP-BY-STEP.
WE PARTNER WITH REFUGE FOR
WOMEN.
THESE ARE WOMEN WHO HAVE ENDURED
HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
WE WORK WITH ALTERNATIVE HIGH
SCHOOLS AND HAVE A LOT OF
DIFFERENT UNIQUE PARTNERSHIPS.
WE WORK WITH AGES 8 AND UP.
(18:10):
>> ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
ARE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN A
PERSON'S CHILDHOOD THAT COULD
HARM THEM INTO ADULTHOOD.
KENTUCKY HAS A HIGHER RATE OF
ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
THAN THE NATIONAL PERCENTAGE.
44% OF KENTUCKY CHILDREN HAVE AT
LEAST ONE ACE VERSUS 38%
NATIONALLY.
(18:31):
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL SURVEY
OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH.
LIFE ADVENTURE CENTER USES
CHALLENGES TO CREATE POSITIVE
EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS TEACH NEW
COPING SKILLS FOR THOSE AFFECTED
BY TRAUMA.
>> WE DO AN ICEBREAKER, A
PREINITIATIVE.
WARM-UP ACTIVITIES.
MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS FEELING
PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SAFE
IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND WE'LL
(18:51):
INTRODUCE A BIGGER ACTIVITY
WHICH MIGHT BE EQUINE ASSISTED
LEARNING OR ARCHERY AND ZIPLINE
ING.
MAYBE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN AROUND
A HORSE OR HESITANT AROUND
HEIGHTS WE TRY TO NORMALIZE WHAT
EXPRESS RESPONSE IS IN OUR
BODIES AND GIVE THEM TOOLS TO
GET THROUGH THAT MOMENT OF FEAR
(19:13):
OR INCREASED ADRENALINE.
IT'S NOT DONE THERE.
LIKE WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF
POWER IN PAUSING AFTER THAT.
AND REALLY REFLECTING.
ASKING SOME QUESTIONS LIKE THAT
WAS SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T THINK
YOU COULD DO AND YOU DID IT.
HOW DID YOU PULL THAT ABOUT
INSIDE YOURSELF?
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU TELLING
YOURSELF IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU
CAN'T DO.
(19:34):
WE'RE GIVING KIDS AND ADULTS TO
REWIRE THEY ARE THINKING CREATE
NEW NEUROPATHWAYS AND EXPERIENCE
THOSE.
>> WHILE ROCK CLIMBING AND
CANOEING ARE AN IMPORTANT PART
OF THE PROGRAM THE INFLUENCE OF
BEING IN NATURE AND THE POWER OF
COMMUNITY IS A NECESSARY PART OF
THE EXPERIENCE.
(19:55):
>> WE OFTEN BALANCE IT OUT WITH
WITH THOSE LOWER INTENSITY
ACTIVITIES.
THE LAB WRIST WALKING AND DO
NATURE CONNECTION.
A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DON'T HAVE
ACCESS TO NATURE.
THERE IS AN IMBALANCE.
WE WORK WITH PEOPLE IN CENTRAL
KENTUCKY WHO NEVER HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE NEAR A HORSE.
LEVERAGING OUR FACILITIES WITH
(20:16):
THE GROUPS THAT MOST NEED US
THAT HAVEN'T HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY.
WE CAN BRING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
OUT HERE AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE
TO EXHALE.
GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO TRY NEW
ACTIVITIES THAT ARE BUILDING
COMMUNITIES UP, THAT ARE
INCREASING THAT CONNECTION
BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND THAT IS
BUILDING RESILIENCE SO THAT WHEN
THE NEXT BAD THINGS HAPPENS THEY
(20:38):
ARE ABLE TO RECOVER MORE
QUICKLY.
>> EVERY PARTNERSHIP IS
DIFFERENT.
SOME GROUPS COME OUT FOR A
WEEKEND, SCHOOLS MAY BRING
STUDENTS OUT MANY TIMES
THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.
NOW THAT SUMMER IS HERE, THE
CENTER OFFERS WEEK LONG SUMMER
CAMPS.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M
MACKENZIE SPINK.
LIFE ADVENTURE CENTER
(20:59):
HAS A LONG HISTORY IN KENTUCKY.
BEFORE MERGING WITH LIFE
ADVENTURE CAMP, IT WAS KNOWN AS
THE CLEVELAND HOME AN ORPHANAGE
IN VERSAILLES ESTABLISHED
SHORTLY AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.
>>> KENTUCKY'S RICH CULTURAL
HERITAGE IS GETTING SCIENTIFIC
PROBING COURTESY OF A NEW
STATE-OF-THE-ART LAB AT THE
(21:20):
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY.
THE GOAL OF THE EDUCE LAB
DEVELOPING NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT
UP VEIL, PROTECT AND SHARE
STORIES OF KENTUCKY'S PAST.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE
WANTED TO BUILD A LAB HERE AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY IS
THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE PRIOR TO
THIS EFFORT TO BRING THOSE
MATERIALS TO KENTUCKY.
(21:40):
BUT WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
FOLKS WHO HOLD THIS TERMINALLY
AND INTERNATIONALLY AND THROUGH
AGREEMENTS FOR EXCHANGE OF
MATERIALS WE BRING THAT MATERIAL
TO THE LAB TO EDUCE LAB AT
KENTUCKY AND THEN WE CAN USE OUR
EQUIPMENT TO DO ANALYSIS ON THAT
RIGHT HERE IN THE BLUEGRASS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THIS SMITHSONIAN ON
(22:01):
THE EAST OR THE GETTY IN THE
WEST.
BUT IN PLACES LIKE THE SOUTHEAST
CONFERENCE, KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE,
AND MISSISSIPPI, WE DON'T HAVE A
LOT OF FOCUSED EQUIPMENT FOR
HERITAGE SCIENCE.
ONE THING THAT IS REALLY SPECIAL
WE SERVE THIS REGION FOR MANY OF
(22:22):
THE CULTURAL HERITAGE
INSTITUTIONS AND PROJECTS THAT
COULD USE THIS EQUIPMENT BUT
DON'T HAVE EASY ACCESS TO THE
COASTS.
DIGITAL EXAMINATION STUDY AND
ACCESS AND PRESERVATION IS
CRUCIAL.
I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT'S
TRUE.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CORNERS
OF THE MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES
EVEN IN THE CORNERS OF OUR OWN
(22:44):
ARCHIVES IS THAT WE LOSE THAT
MATERIAL.
IT DISAPPEARS.
IT'S HARD TO HANG ON TO.
THINGS FALL APART.
THE WORLD IS FULL OF DAMAGE AND
DESTRUCTION.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
FOR OUR CULTURE HERITAGE AND THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC
APPROACHES THAT CAN HELP US WITH
THAT CULTURAL MATERIAL I THINK
(23:04):
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT EDUCE
LAB PLAY A ROLE IN THAT
PRESERVATION, THAT ACCESS, THAT
STUDY.
FEW THINGS HAVE MORE IMPACT ON
THE CULTURAL MATERIALS THAT WE
TALK ABOUT.
SOME OF THE IMPACTS ARE VERY
FOCUSED AND PERSONALIZED.
SOME OF THE IMPACTS ARE GLOBAL.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BAIL WOLF OR
(23:29):
SOMETHING REALLY WELL-KNOWN FROM
PET RA OR THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS,
THESE THINGS END UP HAVING
GLOBAL IMPACT ON SCHOLARLY
PROGRESS AND PEOPLE'S
IMAGINATIONS.
I WOULD SAY FOR STUDENTS
INTERESTED HAVING ACCESS TO THAT
IN THE BLUEGRASS, IS PRETTY
SPECIAL.
AND IS AN AVENUE THAT YOU
(23:50):
WOULDN'T EXPECT NECESSARILY BUT
ONE OF THE THINGS WE CAN
FEATURE.
FUNDING FOR THE LAB
CAME FROM A $14 MILLION
INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT FROM THE
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION.
