Walk In Lauren’s Shoes

Lauren Book, founder of Lauren’s Kids, was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for six years at the hands of her nanny. Armed with the knowledge that 95 percent of sexual abuse is preventable through education, Lauren has worked to turn her horrific personal experience into a vehicle to prevent childhood sexual abuse and heal survivors by starting Lauren’s Kids. Lauren’s Kids encourages victims to “shine a light in dark places” and “shed the shame.” On March 19, Lauren embarked on her fourth annual 1,500-mile Walk in My Shoes education and awareness journey. This year’s Walk kicked off in the Florida Keys. Lauren will crisscross the state, traveling north and across the Panhandle, before concluding in Tallahassee for the Rally in Tally on the steps of Florida’s Historic Capitol on April 23, 2013. This year’s rally will be especially meaningful, as April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the national 2013 theme is focused on the prevention of child sexual abuse.

During the 2013 Walk, Lauren will be highlighting a different key aspect of child sexual abuse each week: Signs; Disclosure and Reporting; Predators: Grooming/Pedophile Tactics; Prevalence and Healing; Effects of Child Sexual Abuse; Youth-Serving Organizations; Education and Prevention. To learn more about Lauren and her annual statewide Walk in My Shoes, visit www.LaurensKids.org.

We talk to Lauren from the road every week. This week’s topic: Grooming – how the abuser ingratiates themselves to hide their true intentions.

That Needle is Dirty – Do Not Touch It!

University of Miami medical students Hansel Tookes, Marek Hirsch and Dyani Loo. Hansel, Marek and Dyani were instrumental in the creation of a bill proposing a needle exchange program to be established in Miami-Dade county. We discuss the importance of this initiative to the health of all residents of the county.

Before you negotiate a deal, lead a team, or make a major decision, there’s one conversation that happens first—the one in your own head. In this episode of Fried On Business, Jim Fried focuses on the power of positive self-talk and how internal dialogue shapes leadership, performance, and long-term success.

Jim explains that most setbacks in business are amplified not by external events, but by how we interpret them internally. The words we use with ourselves influence confidence, resilience, and decision-making. Negative self-talk can create hesitation, fear, and overreaction. Positive, disciplined self-talk builds clarity, calm, and constructive action.

Throughout the episode, Jim shares how he reframes challenges in real time. Instead of saying “This deal is falling apart,” he asks, “What’s the opportunity inside this situation?” Instead of assuming failure, he focuses on preparation and adaptability. This shift doesn’t ignore reality—it strengthens response. Jim emphasizes that positive self-talk is not blind optimism. It’s intentional framing that keeps leaders grounded and focused.

Listeners will learn practical ways to audit their internal dialogue. Jim discusses replacing reactive language with empowering questions, slowing down emotional responses, and recognizing when fear-based thinking is distorting judgment. He highlights how consistent mental discipline compounds just like financial discipline.

The episode also explores how leaders set tone. The way you speak to yourself eventually influences how you speak to your team, partners, and clients. Calm, confident internal dialogue produces steady external leadership.

If you’ve ever felt pressure, doubt, or stress cloud your judgment, this conversation offers tools you can use immediately. Your inner voice is always talking—make sure it’s working for you, not against you.
