S2 Ep2234: WORK is THIRD Dawn Hunter w/DeMonta Whiting: Prepare for the Future & Live Today

(AIR DATE 7/21/2026)  PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE & LIVE FOR TODAY | LETTING GO OF OUTCOMES WITH DEMONTA WHITING Have you ever felt like you’re always trying to do enough, be enough, have enough?  In this episode of Work Is Third, Dawn Hunter talks with psychotherapist and coach DeMonta Whiting about people pleasing, emotional resilience, identity, and learning how to stop tying your worth to productivity. Together, they explore how childhood beliefs shape adult behaviors, why so many high achievers struggle to feel “good enough,” and what it means to prepare for the future while still living fully in the present. DeMonta shares his experience surviving a rare cancer diagnosis at a young age, how it transformed his perspective on life, and why letting go of outcomes can create more peace, connection, and authenticity.  This conversation is a reminder that when we believe we are enough, we can let the chips fall where they may. Topics include: * People pleasing and perfectionism * High achievement and emotional wellbeing * Childhood beliefs and adult relationships * Letting go of outcomes * Boundaries and self-worth * Living fully in the present * Therapy, healing, and identity * Work-life balance and burnout 📚 Guest Info * Website: DeMonta Whiting Coaching & Therapy * Instagram: @demonta_the_therapist * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/demontawhitinglmft [https://www.linkedin.com/in/demontawhitinglmft] Stay Connected  with Dawn Hunter Visit The Dawn Lab.

S2 Ep2233: COMMUNITY SERVICE Rotary Club of St. Petersburg's New President Zi Azizi with H. Roy Adams

The Rotary Club of St. Petersburg [https://sprotary.org/] is the oldest and largest service club in our city — and one of the first 200 Rotary clubs in the world. For over a century, they've united business and community leaders in service above self. Join us in making a lasting impact locally and globally.  Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser spoke with the new President, Zi Azizi and longtime Rotarian H. Roy Adams on the history of this club, their accomplishments and vision for the future. The club meets Friday at noon at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, and open to new members. Seen here: Zi Azizi with Brian Ford, COO Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Founded by former St. Petersburg Times editor, William Straub and other community leaders.  Rotary International is an international SERVICE club with 1.2M members worldwide, not a social club. Being a social is a byproduct of what we do to help our community and those less fortunate throughout the world.

S2 Ep2221: Big Broadway Energy: Lab Theater Project

Stephen Riordan welcomes Owen Robertson, the multi-hyphenate founder of Tampa Bay’s Lab Theater Project. While most local theaters go dark for the summer, Lab Theater Project keeps its doors open, dedicating its entire mission to producing new works and nurturing emerging playwrights and artists. Key Discussion Highlights * The Mission: Founded during Robertson’s MFA program to create a pipeline for new plays, the theater now receives 300 to 500 script submissions a year. It has produced works by 67 playwrights and given 23 artists their first professional opportunities. * True Collaboration & Dramaturgy: The theater operates as a safe, non-authoritarian space where actors, directors, and playwrights collaborate to reshape scripts.  * Stepping Away from Corporate America: Both Riordan and Robertson bond over leaving stable corporate careers (Robertson in 2010, Riordan in 2023) to commit entirely to the arts, noting how supportive the creative community is when you dare to ask for help. Robertson is also currently pursuing a PhD in Education to further advocate for the intrinsic value of the arts. Current Productions “The Cross and The Saber” (Closing July 19) Written by Wendy Graf, this timely play explores First Amendment rights, Christian nationalism, and politics in a near-future setting. > The Sci-Fi Element: The script incorporates artificial intelligence, featuring a terrifying courtroom sequence where the protagonist's entire legal defense, investigation, and prosecution are handled entirely by androids, prompting questions about human agency in an AI-driven world. Workshops and Digital Innovation * Pitch to Production Workshop: Launching this fall, this rigorous 12-week, master ’s-level course guides local writers from an initial pitch to a completed draft, utilizing seasoned national playwrights as mentors. * On-Demand Streaming: To assist long-distance playwrights and expand ticket sales, the theater streams its productions on demand for 24 hours during the final weekend of each run.
