Your health is your choice with Sara Troy and her guest Drew Deraney, on air from October 7th
“Why Caring for the Caregiver Isn’t Selfish, It’s Essential” and Health & Wellness
I believe that success happens when we find a better way and are able and willing to share it. I find a better way by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Ultimately, what I bring to the table is a way to contribute and add value by having an impact on the lives of others.
Drew Deraney, The Caregiver & Family Health Coach and founder of Profit Compassion, empowers caregivers to prioritize their own well-being so they can better support their loved ones with resilience and compassion. As a father of a son with autism spectrum disorder, Drew helps caregivers rediscover balance, strength, and joy in their journey without guilt.

Entrepreneurship, Media, and the Future of Business Storytelling
How The Daily Pitch Helps Managers, Leaders, and Entrepreneurs Get Better @ What They Do
My “why” is rooted in helping managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs get better at what they do. After decades working with Fortune 500 companies and with C-Suite leaders, I saw a gap between the insights executives have access to and the practical, everyday knowledge that small business owners and professionals need to thrive. I founded DissedMedia as a company focused on developing products and insights that will help those interested in business at any level build upon their knowledge and wisdom. It is really a marriage of my three passions, which are business, education, and creativity. I’ve been in the CPG industry (Consumer Product Goods), for over 30 years, higher education for 20, and a curious creator all my life. The Daily Pitch is a platform I designed to publish stories and insights about business, leadership, and entrepreneurship. The Daily Pitch Academy is an education platform I am building to help individuals at all levels learn about theories and practices I have taught for many years. It will also become a platform for consultants and coaches who can leverage it to help teach and inform too. The podcast, DissedMedia A Startup Story tells the story of starting DissedMedia from the very beginning. My purpose is to share not only what I’ve learned in boardrooms and classrooms, but also to democratize that wisdom so anyone building a business or leading a team can make smarter, faster, and more human decisions.
I began my career at Coca-Cola in Atlanta as a frontline contractor making $5.50 an hour. Seeing that growth required education and experience I didn’t yet have, I enrolled in college while working full-time and raising a family. Over two decades at Coca-Cola, I advanced professionally, earned my degree, pursued an MBA, and eventually began teaching.
After 20 years in the beverage industry, I transitioned into wine while completing a PhD in Business Administration with a focus on Industrial Organizational Psychology. Alongside my career in consumer goods, I’ve served in academia as an adjunct professor, department chair, and MBA program director—teaching or developing over 75 courses in business, spanning leadership, management, marketing, operations, and more.
These experiences inspired me to found DissedMedia, home to The Daily Pitch news platform and The Daily Pitch Academy. My work centers on translating business trends into meaningful insights for leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday decision-makers.

Stephen Chong has shared his insightful wisdom with us many times, each time building on the last.
Author of The After Life we delved into what really happens to us beyond this life.
‘The Afterlife’ was written after a profound spiritual awakening (near-death) experience, the author, Stephen Paul Chong now shares these gifts with a passion and purpose so that all may benefit from the divinely inspired wisdom.
Sharing deep insights and meaningful life-purpose guidance—particularly around grief, loss, and their profound connection to the heavenly realm. Our conversation will flow into revelations from The Afterlife, including what I’ve learned about the Abode of Reunion, the School for Children, and the presence of Spirit Guides.
In this time of great turmoil and spiritual awakening, the discussion will explore how individuals can recognize their self-worth and understand the power of thoughts, words, and deeds, which are ultimately revealed in life’s review. It will touch on the three inner saboteurs that prevent people from reaching their highest potential, along with a technique for releasing them.
Stephen Chong M.Ed. is a Far North Queensland, Australian-based author who draws his inspirations from life’s themes that relate to us all – love, grief, struggle, overcoming obstacles. Culminating in his six inspirational novels, feature-film screenplays, and multiple short-stories, he has converted these ‘life themes’ into stories that we can all relate to. Stephen’s expertise of balancing modern work practices with personal life provides unique insights that make this life, and life in the hereafter, a much better place.

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Dianne Crampton, on air from October 7th
On this episode, we welcome Dianne Crampton, founder of the TIGERS 6 Principles and president of TIGERS Success Series. Dianne is the author of Becoming TIGERS: Leading Your Team to Success. In this unique leadership parable—crafted in the tradition of Native American storytelling—Dianne weaves a story within a story. At its heart is a father whose job is on the line because his well-intentioned passion comes out as shouting and micromanagement. His struggle mirrors a parable about two tiger brothers—one who inspires and coaches his diverse tribe, and another who rules with surliness and control. Dianne explores how stories gently shift mindsets and open leaders to real change, offering a fresh path away from toxic behaviors and toward collaborative, high-trust leadership. She also shares her vision for pairing Becoming TIGERS with the TIGERS Team Wheel game to support school counselors and help address root causes of conflict and even gun violence in schools. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation about the power of story to change how we lead, work, and live together.
After completing graduate-level research that validated the six principles of high-functioning teams, Dianne Crampton launched TIGERS to help progressive leaders master group process through soft skills that drive innovation and minimize destructive conflict. Her early work focused on guiding companies through post-merger integration, cross-functional team development, and organizational change. Today, she certifies HR leaders, consultants, and coaches in the use of TIGERS resources so they can deliver measurable culture improvements inside their own organizations. Clients often describe her work as “a business in a box,” giving managers and facilitators proven systems to stay relevant and effective in an era when AI is reshaping the workplace.

It will touch on the three inner saboteurs that prevent people from reaching their highest potential, along with a technique for releasing them. The conversation will also highlight the importance of following one’s highest purpose by asking reflective questions such as, What would love do next? What is needed to come closer to the light? Practical tools, including a meditation/visualization to connect with the divine source, will be shared. Emphasis will be placed on building persistence and resilience by reconnecting to core values, challenging unhelpful habits, and bringing the three pillars of life—relationships, money, and health—into balance. Together, these insights invite listeners to embrace a life of deeper clarity, purpose, and alignment.
