Welcome to the third episode of Pocket Paulson, a podcast dedicated to leveraging optimism to make change work no matter what the age or the challenge. You'll learn about MITRE Corporation's unique, nationally renowned summer educational experience for outstanding high school students and college undergraduates. Listen as James Ellenbogen, PhD, the MITRE Student Program Coordinator, talks about what many in the company call their "Nano Kids." James speaks with passion about what collaborating with bright, focused teens can mean to a company, to the teen, and to the society. Dr. Ellenbogen said, "It isn't just that the kids have a job for the summer and learn. It's about them being genuinely useful and showing them that they can have a contribution and really change the world." That's right, these young men and women aren't the stars of the future; they are having a real-world impact and benefit to the nation. This podcast is sponsored by terrypaulson.com.

Welcome to the second episode of Pocket Paulson, a podcast dedicated to leveraging optimism to make change work no matter what the age or the challenge. On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, so much was covered on the terrorist attack and in remembering the loss of so many lives on that horrific day. Mary Ellen Salamone lost her husband John on that day. Now, she prefers to celebrate 9/12 and the remembrance of how the community, the country, and the world came together to care and to serve. Since that attack, in an effort to help her three young children cope with the loss of their father, Mary Ellen has been a 9/11 activist. She's has been busy finding ways to give back. She served as president of Families of September 11; she's served on the Board of the National School Center for Crisis and Bereavement; but she's probably most proud of her work with Equine Assisted Therapy. Whether it's in fostering horse/human therapy or speaking to schools, she's interested in turning potential victims into empowered survivors. This podcast is sponsored by terrypaulson.com. But now, sit back and enjoy this interview conducted with Mary Ellen just days before the 10th anniversary of 9/11 on KKZZ 1400 AM Radio in Ventura, CA. Enjoy!

Every podcast has a beginning, and Pocket Paulson is no exception. My first interview is with Tyler Maskiewicz, a senior at University City High School in San Diego. Tyler was one of the over 250 youths attending the 2011 Youth Citizen Seminar at Pepperdine University. As a self-proclaimed teenager with old skin, I was one of the presenters, and Tyler was one of the participants that definitely emerged as a leader. It was Tyler and his group of teenagers who devised the Pocket Paulson as a Free Enterprise Product that won the YCS product competition.
