Kathryn interviews Author Mary Jordan.Many of us don’t realize there are things we can do to mitigate the risk of dementia. Whether you have a close relative with dementia, a history of high-risk factors for this condition, or a diagnosis of MCI (mild cognitive impairment), you may be concerned to know how personally 'at risk' you or a loved one is, and what you can do to 'dodge' what is definitely not inevitable. Mary Jordan guides readers through the many factors associated with developing dementia and the science behind our current understanding including diet, exercise, trauma, pharmaceuticals, genetics, social isolation just to name a few. She is a director and founder of Adapt Dementia Ltd formed to help people find a better way to live with dementia. She has specific first hand experience of dementia through her work for Alzheimer’s Society, a UK dementia charity and co-authored the award-winning:End of Life, The Essential Guide to Caring.Kathryn also interviews Author Jane Boulware.No one expected Jane Boulware, the scrappy girl from the cornfields of Iowa, who paid for college selling used carpet to become a leader of billion-dollar businesses and a top Microsoft executive.

She confronts societal norms and the demanding realm of corporate America. Jane delves deep, sharing her triumphs, personal struggles, and battle with bulimia, all approached with genuine transparency and compassion. What truly sets this memoir apart is her perspective on success. For her, it's not about mere titles or individual milestones. It's about collaboration, 'reaching back to lift others,' and recognizing that true success is a collective journey. Jane has launched three billion-dollar businesses, been VP of the largest merger in the history of the US, forged global alliances and served on many boards including Boys and Girls Clubs.
