Lunchtime Conversation host welcomed Nicole Waters, Executive Director of The Edge District, to talk about her 3rd Annual Amplify Women Summit 3 at The James Museum August 7-8 in addition to their other monthly events. Navigators of Change: Women at the Helm" is this year's focus. With Nicole was Jordan Torelli who will be on the multi-generational speaker panel, talking about communications and working together at all ages. Says Nicole: "The Amplify Women Summit is where our story began—and each year it continues as a high-energy, two-day experience designed to accelerate women’s success. Our focus is on driving the unstoppable success of women business owners and leaders across Tampa Bay, delivering insider expertise straight from top industry voices, unrivaled networking opportunities, and collaborative experiences that fuel bold innovation. This is where ambition meets strategy—where inspiration, resources, and authentic connection transform into bold opportunities, lasting relationships, and breakthrough growth." Learn more here!Jordan Torelli is a Brand Photographer and Creative Director for women who are building success on their own terms, claiming their expertise, and resisting every piece of conditioning that told them to stay small, stay quiet, and not to shine too bright. Her work proudly creates more representation for successful women running businesses on their terms and making money doing what they're exceptional at. She grew up surrounded by women who owned businesses, ran companies, and pursued ambitious careers without compromise. She learned early that when women own their work, it changes how they move through the world. She started her entrepreneurial journey in social media and brand strategy but craved being in the creative process of directing sessions, collaborating in real time, and creating images that showed women as powerful as they actually are. As a child, her dream job was playing dress-up. A young girl's way of saying she was obsessed with fashion, design, and how aesthetics shape the way people are seen. Now she photographs ambitious women who deserve to feel powerful, celebrated, and completely confident showing up as their best selves.#amplifywomen #nicolewaters #jordantorelli #nanettewiser #theedgedistrict #womenatthehelm #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete #dtsp #downtownstpete

In this episode of Live Life Better, host Nanette Wiser talks with Ken Grimes, a man of courage and wisdom about his new book, Tin Box Heroes. It is a raw and powerful exploration of the lives of first responders, their sacrifices, and the resilience of the human spirit. Ken Grime is the Pinellas Suncoast Fire & Rescue Chief with a formidable history of courage and a journey that he unflinchingly reveals to help others.Ken Grimes is a Fire Chief, author, and nationally recognized leader in emergency services with nearly five decades of experience. He has led disaster response efforts across the country, including Hurricane Katrina, and served in executive roles in one of the largest air medical systems in the world. Today, he leads Pinellas Suncoast Fire & Rescue District and focuses on leadership, resilience, and the long-term impact of service on first responders. When the weight of saving lives becomes too heavy to bear, who saves the rescuer? In Tin Box Heroes, Ken Grimes delivers a gripping, deeply human memoir that exposes the hidden cost of heroism. As a veteran flight medic and emergency response leader, Grimes spent decades inside “tin boxes” — ambulances, aircraft, and command centers — racing against time to save others amid hurricanes, medical crises, and chaos. But when compassion collided with exhaustion, the mission to save everyone else nearly cost him his own life, he was forced to confront the truth: even heroes break. With vivid detail and emotional honesty, Tin Box Heroes takes readers behind the flashing lights and into the silent aftermath — where trauma, guilt, and resilience wage war within the human spirit. What begins as a story of service becomes a testament to recovery, hope, and the courage it takes to ask for help.Raw. Unflinching. Redemptive. Tin Box Heroes reminds us that strength isn’t the absence of pain — it’s the decision to heal anyway.#kengrimes #pinellassuncoastfireand rescue #livelifebetter #firstresponders #mentalhealth #tinboxheroes #nanettewiser #stpete #stpetefl #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete #dtsp #downtownstpete
