Once upon a time I had a podcast. It featured good people doing good stuff. It focused on wellness, mindfulness practices, health, creativity and other interesting topics. I’d invite smart, interesting people in to ask them questions so I could steal their knowledge and share it with you, the listener. The original name was a little to similar to another entity so I renamed the podcast and relaunched it as “The Good Eye Podcast“. The podcast and an accompanying Facebook page is live. Look for Instagram, Twitter and YouTube with the handle @goodeyepodcast and a website for notes and other content at goodeyepodcast.com. The first new episode is about this year’s Bike MS: Colonial Crossroads event to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It follows my brother and me as we participate in the MS Ride from Richmond, Va to Williamsburg, Va and back. Check it out! And feel free to submit topic and guest ideas via the Facebook page. Thanks! -Jay
This week’s episode is a profile of the 2019 edition of Bike MS: Colonial Crossroads. A whole bunch of cyclists, support crew, police, sag vehicles and MS Society organizers head from Richmond to Williamsburg – all at once! I’ll have audio from the event, interviews with riders, organizers, support staff and more. We do it every year to try and eliminate Multiple Sclerosis. Come along for the ride!

Join us for a special speaking engagement at Synapse Hub 12 The McShin Foundation as we welcome special guest speaker Robin Green, Certified Trainer with Sandler Training, on Thursday, June 6 at 9am.
Robin has worked with large, small and in-between businesses and non-profits helping them to grow and thrive. Robin will speak on topics such as prospecting, strategy and asking for referrals. His talk should prove valuable and insightful for all, but especially for the many small to mid-size business owners, entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial-minded in the Synapse community.
Robin hosts a podcast called “Lead. Learn. Grow”. Guests have included business people, leaders and difference-makers including McShin’s own Jesse Wysocki. Robin’s blog is a wealth of useful information including the recent entry entitled, “Is ‘Aggressively Waiting For The Phone To Ring’ a good plan?”
