Vaya Con Muñoz 7.4.20
In Chicopee, the Police Department allowed a longtime police officer to retire with full benefits after news came out about how his sad racists comments in his personal social media page. Mike Wilk simply walked away. In Springfield, a rising star who in less than a year was promoted to detective was fired to reposting her niece’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Florissa Fuentes said she received a lot of hostility from fellow officers for the repost on her personal social media account. Springfield Mayor Dominic Sarno was also displeased.

Tune in Saturday, July 4th & Aug 1st @ 11 AM to hear Ira speak with Ross Giombetti of Giombetti Associates. Ross helps people become
more mindful about how they behave and perform as leaders and peers. Through assessment and coaching, he shows you how to ”get your hands on the dials”
to manage your traits and tendencies. How to understand yourself, without labels (“I’m an introvert!”), because we are all on a scale, usually not 100% this or that. They discuss how to manage relationships with people the same and different as you. And why a little positivity (not blind optimism) goes a long way during a crisis

In The Western Mass. Business Show
Tune in Saturday, June 27th @ 11 am to hear Ira speak with Abby Beale of Clinical Alternative Medicines. Abby is a homeopath, and tells of the development of Samuel Hahnemann’s 19th century idea of “like cures like,” so that the process of diluting and shaking the substance increases its healing energy. Is it a placebo? Because it does work on babies and animals. How it’s the whole person that is being treated, so you will not get the same remedy as your sibling, even if you both have migraines. We also discuss the history of homeopathy being respectable, and then besieged by the newly formed AMA. And what treatment is like for you, for what ails you today; including during the pandemic, where social distancing is required.
