About The Forte' Effect

The Forté Effect is a podcast where technology, creativity, and the future of work meet-without pretending we're not human while building what's next. Hosted by Forté—an educator, veteran, and STEM advocate—the show features conversations with entrepreneurs, artists, innovators, and civic leaders navigating leadership, reinvention, and impact. Forté’s love of technology began before age 10 on a Commodore 64, sparking a lifelong curiosity about innovation, access to opportunity, the intersection of ideas, creativity, and community. Because reinvention isn’t starting over — it’s moving forward.

Jerri Haslem: My Health Is Non-Negotiable

“My health is non-negotiable.” At 63, Birmingham’s own Jerri Haslem — known as “The Peach of 63” — is still moving, still showing up, and still choosing discipline every single day. In this episode of The Forté Effect, host Instructor Forté sits down with Jerri for a powerful conversation on health, longevity, and purpose. From starting her running journey at 38 to completing over 60 half marathons, Jerri shares what it really means to stay consistent and keep moving — at every stage of life. Rooted in Birmingham and grounded in community, this conversation reflects the spirit of a city that continues to rise through resilience, discipline, and legacy. This is more than a conversation about fitness. It’s about how you show up for your life. Because if you’re still breathing… it’s not too late. 🎙️ The Forté Effect — Where technology, creativity, and the future of work meet. 🔗 Connect with Instructor Forté: https://linktr.ee/instructorforte ✂️ Turn your content into viral clips with OpusClip: https://www.opus.pro/?via=reinventwithforte

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
