IMPACT OC

Putting Your Life in Balance

Meet Jimmy Wang, another amazing immigrant who came to this country from China with nothing but a dream (and the desire to do whatever it took to succeed). Turning that into a publicly traded company that produces high end aviation parts.

Hear about his newest idea to take a scientific approach to traditional Chinese healing (that he discovered here in Orange County) and turn that into the next big "health and healing" franchise (like Massage Envy but with a deeper root in "releasing your chi" and balancing the overall energy in your body).   

Finding  the blockages in what the Chinese believe is your internal system of inter-connected "meridians" that flow throughout your body.   And then releasing those blockages thru the healing power of acupressure (instead of acupuncture).  Allowing your internal energy to flow freely and bring your body "back into balance". Flushing out all your toxins (in the process) and providing all the energy needed for the body to "heal itself".

From Aviation to Internal energy. Don't miss this amazing "immigrant's tale" and the transformation and healing he hopes to bring to the world.  On this week's OC SPOTLIGHT.  Streaming live from our studios here at the University of California Irvine's BEALL APPLIED INNOVATION CENTER.  Here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO.

Walking the Walk

If you really believe in the idea of "sustainable living", then it's not enough to just "talk the talk". You've got to "walk the walk" as well. Or in our guest's case "change your daily ride" from a gas guzzling, soccer mom's van into an earth friendly eBike.  For all her commutes (even with kids!) 

That's the story of Deborah LaSalle from Boise, Idaho who co-founded Warm Springs Consulting, a "sustainability consulting firm" whose mission is to help organizations (including big mining companies) "be more efficient and trade-out carbon emitting technologies for those that maintain profitability in a way that's better for the planet".

So how could this "eco-friendly soccer mom" drive a gas guzzling mini van?  For Deb, the quest was clear. And her solution was the Pedego Stretch, a cargo carrying model that allowed her to take all her kids and all their gear wherever needed. 

Deb lives six miles from her office and for all that travel back and forth to work plus her kids' school and sports activities, she's switched to an eBike.  Even using it for occasional travel downtown and to the airport as well. Estimating that she's been able to switch over at least 50% of her normal travel to something that just feels better (and more fun!) for everyone involved.

Ride along as she tells us all about it.  On the week's PEDEGO PODCAST. And how (at the end of the day) she truly believes she hasn't sacrificed anything. But found far more than she expected on this electric bike path that feels a bit more genuine and a whole lot better for her, her family and the world they live in.
