Episode Description
Laura Cox Kaplan is the creator of She Said / She Said — a multimedia platform for women who strive to live their best lives with intention and who are seeking insight and inspiration through thoughtful conversation and content focused on women. On this episode of Next Steps Forward, Laura joins program host Chris Meek to speak about career and life pivots. This includes how to come to terms when something you love no longer fits in your life or the legacy that you want to leave behind, how to grieve as you say goodbye during the process of pivoting to something more amazing and the nature of career evolutions in general. One major theme throughout much of Laura’s content and throughout the hour is the idea of building and sustaining influence. She will lay the foundation for how she views the idea of influence as micro habits that we develop which help each of us become more influential. The audience will be inspired to let influence help connect them with others, help them get back up after a failure, help propel them forward, help develop skills as lifelong learners and challenge themselves to become inspired!

Chris Meek
Chris Meek believes in the American spirit of individual empowerment and service to others, especially those who have sacrificed for our freedoms. As someone who lived through the horrors of Ground Zero on 9/11, Chris had no way home but to join others as they put one foot in front of the other to make their way forward. Since that day, Chris has committed himself to empowering and motivating fellow Americans to keep taking steps forward, no matter what life throws their way.
Chris has spent the last decade serving as the co-founder and chairman of the national nonprofit SoldierStrong, which is dedicated to helping military veterans take their next steps forward. SoldierStrong carries out its mission by providing revolutionary medical technology to VA medical centers, including exoskeleton suits to help paralyzed veterans walk again and virtual reality equipment to help treat post-traumatic stress.
He also serves as an advisor on the President’s Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide (PREVENTS) task force. In this role, he shares a responsibility to raise awareness about mental health, facilitate research and define a plan to prevent suicide. In 2020, Chris launched ReachStrong, a nonprofit aimed at empowering all Americans to care for their overall well-being. Chris is also a financial services executive at S and P Global, Inc, in New York City. He and his wife, Christine, have three children.
