This week pet trainer Mikkel Becker shares how she combined her passion for animals and serving people to create a business that teaches both pets and people how to communicate and understand fear, anxiety, and emotional issues. Listen in as we break down the pressures of continuing a family legacy, carving your own path through your passions, and why pets and their owners have more in common than you might think. “Pets communicate continually with us is through their body language. We need to not punish our pet for telling us how they feel, but give them coping strategies. Our mental and emotional health are very similar.” – Mikkel Becker About Mikkel: Mikkel Becker is a certified trainer, dog behavior counselor and the lead animal trainer for Fear Free. From early life it was undeniably clear that Mikkel’s number one focus was always going to be animals. Mikkel’s childhood consisted of two joys; horses and dogs. Her training career started early with help from her childhood dog, a Wire Haired Fox Terrier named Scooter, who delighted in fun games like running in the opposite direction when called, leading the neighborhood bark patrol and terrorizing other dogs in a blaze of terrier fueled fury. But, where frustration created what could have been rifts the size of the massive holes Scooter dug in the yard, pure love was able to bridge those gaps and create a wiser, more resilient child and dog who together became grand champions in 4-H obedience. Unlike many children her age, Mikkel traded sports and other hobbies to instead chase after blue ribbons at horse shows and memories on trail rides. Her special passion was taking horses who were deemed less suitable by others and revealing the true champion inside. In pursuit of formal animal training education, Mikkel graduated from the rigorous San Francisco SPCA Dog Training Academy with Jean Donaldson (earning a Certificate in Training and Counseling; CTC), the Karen Pryor Academy (becoming a Karen Pryor Certified Training Partner; KPA CTP), the Purdue Dogs and Cats Course, and Mikkel shadowed Dr. Nicolas Dodman at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. Mikkel’s favorite educational experience was providing enrichment and positive reinforcement guidance to orangutans at Jungle Island in Miami. Along with her growing knowledge, Mikkel achieved other certifications, including becoming a Certified Behavior Consultant Canine (CBCC-KA), a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a Certified Dog Behavior Counselor (CDBC).Locally in the Seattle area Mikkel is the dog and cat behavior counselor at Homeward Pet Adoption Center, resident trainer for veterinary behaviorist, Dr. Wailani Sung, and a trainer at Doggy Haven Resort. When it comes to home life, Mikkel’s four legged pug kids were eventually joined by a now seven year old daughter, Reagan, who is blossoming into her own rights as a trainer (Reagan’s current passion project is taming farmyard chickens and goats and pursuing ambitions to run an animal rescue and become a veterinarian like her Papa, Marty). Today, Mikkel’s family lives in in a country getaway space outside of Seattle along with the family’s cherished pug genius, Willy who charms guests with his arsenal of tricks and delights in giving his version of wet willy’s with his surprisingly long, frog-like tongue. Mikkel recently co-authored “From Fearful to Fear Free: A Positive Program to Free Your Dog from Anxiety, Fears, and Phobias” with Dr. Marty Becker, Dr. Lisa Radosta and Wailani Sung.

When you understand the kind of life you want to live, it makes sense to help your team do the same. This week equity strategist Tara Jaye Frank joins me to discuss why CEOs are so passionate about bringing inclusivity and equity into the workplace and the common challenges that keep them from experiencing real change. Listen in as Tara and I discuss having a bias for action, the importance of assessing before creating a plan, how scarity impacts honest conversation, and how to frame conversations with your team in “four dimensions” to carry greater results. “The first step about way making is really having a heart to be part of the solution and then learning what it takes to actually get there.” – Tara Jaye Frank Tara Jaye Frank is an expert, thought leader and pioneer in the D,E&I space. Her book, The Waymakers: Clearing the Path to Workplace Equity with Competence and Confidence, is coming out in May 3. Tara has recently been cited in articles covering topics including President Biden’s announcement to appoint the first Black SCOTUS in Business Insider, her LinkedIn post on the Brian Flores issues which got a lot of comments and traction, 10 black female entrepreneurs on how we can all be more inclusive on HerMoney and what corporate America should do now in Forbes, to name a few. About the Waymakers: Beyond strategies and systems, what really drives workplace equity and inclusion? The truth is that all historically excluded professionals who have broken through to greater levels of belonging and achievement have succeeded not by systems change alone, but because influential leaders chose to remove barriers, open doors, and guide them toward their goals. The bottom line? Someone made a way for them. Using case studies, data, and evocative storytelling, Frank outlines how leaders with power and position can clear the path to workplace equity by: discovering where you are on your equity journey today.• embracing the steps required to achieve true equity.• understanding what your employees really want from you.• developing a lens for the big barriers and intervention opportunities.• connecting the dots between meeting talent needs and unlocking company value.• recognizing when Waymaking matters most.• showing up―every day―as a leader who makes a way.

The gurus will tell you that consistency is the key to success. Damon Burton will also tell you that consistency changed his life. On this episode Damon shares how the power of intention and simplicity created a business plan that has provided consistency and stability for both Damon and his family. Listen in as we jam about how he’s teaching his kids about entrepreneurship and freedom using Beanie Babies, the harrowing story of how Damon found the need for consistency daily, and why it’s so important to take action in the “micro moments.” Over a decade ago Damon Burton beat a billion dollar company by outranking their website on Google. Since then, he knew he was onto something and has gone on to build an international search engine marketing company that’s worked with NBA teams, and Inc 5000 & Shark Tank featured businesses. In the decade+ of running a global team, surprisingly, he’s never met ANY of his team in person. Burton can speak on how to manage a remote team, as well as how he approaches dedicating time to family and balancing it all. Having started his business right before the 2008 recession, Damon is familiar navigating and growing a business through times like today. Never before has there been so many people needing something to focus their attention on… AND the time to do it. Since founding his company SEO National in 2007, he writes for Forbes, has been featured in publications including Entrepreneur Magazine, BuzzFeed and USA Weekly, and has helped high-profile clients make more in a month than they used to in a year.
