Don’t Avoid Their Name: How to Truly Help a Grieving Friend 🤍

When a friend or colleague experiences the devastating loss of a spouse, it is incredibly common to feel completely unsure of what to say. Out of a fear of causing more pain or triggering tears, many of us default to staying completely silent. But what if that silence is actually making their isolation worse?In this emotionally resonant episode, hosts Russ Hedge and Lynn Lionhood tackle a difficult but vital aspect of the grief journey: why you should never avoid mentioning the name of a loved one who has passed away.We dive into a deeply moving conversation about the harsh reality a grieving spouse faces—from the sudden disruption of daily habits, like accidentally making coffee for two when there’s only one, to the psychological impact of clearing a home of memories. Russ shares a powerful personal story about helping a young widow who, out of intense pain, had stripped her walls of all family photographs. Discover how leaning into the discomfort, encouraging a friend to cry, and letting them freely reminisce can be the ultimate catalyst that allows someone to heal, step back into community, and learn to live again.Marketing with Russ...aka #RussSelfie, Episode 616Featuring Lynn lionhood🔗 Connect with Lynn:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lynnlionhoodZoomwithlynn.comrhl6807@gmail.com🔗 Connect with Me:Website: https://www.russhedge.com #GriefSupport #SayTheirName #HelpingFriends #GriefJourney #SupportOneAnother #LifeAfterLoss #Compassion #BeAFriend

From Sweeping Floors to Chief Technology Officer: The 3 Collars of Career Success

Success rarely follows a straight path. What does it take to transition from sweeping floors and driving forklifts to leading global technology strategies at one of the world's largest tech companies?In this episode, guest Ed SooHoo joins the show to share his incredible professional journey, framing his career through what he calls the "Three Collars". Ed opens up about his extensive background as a blue-collar, card-carrying Teamster—working as a rail switchman, forklift driver, and machinist—and how those practical, "back of house" experiences laid the ultimate foundation for his future.We dive into his shift into white-collar corporate spaces at tech giants like Oracle and HP, his ventures into the "no-collar" entrepreneurial world running billiard clubs and microbreweries, and his current role as the Chief Technology Officer for Global Accounts at Lenovo. Ed reveals why his massive success isn't actually rooted in being a tech genius, but rather in being an "accidentalist" driven by relentless curiosity and mastering the art of asking questions instead of just pretending to have all the answers.Marketing with Russ...aka #RussSelfie, Episode 615Featuring Ed Soo Hoo🔗 Connect with Ed:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/edsoohooWebsite: esoohoo.com🔗 Connect with Me: https://www.russhedge.com #MarketingwithRuss #EdSooHoo #Lenovo #BlueCollarToSuccess #CareerJourney #TechLeadership #InspiringStories #Curiosity #CareerGrowth #Leadership
