In Stephanie's own words: Selling and investing in real estate was never in my life plan. I was a teacher and then a Vice Principal. And then I got a taste of my first flip and realized there was a strong need for agents that would educate and advocate for their clients. I had 8 open escrows within 2 months of getting my license because I listened to the advice of an agent I met at an open house. My online lead conversion rate was over 10% because I know the local market, utilize helpful apps, and can anticipate the needs of others well. The Joshua Tree market is really hot and I have the pleasure of helping first time investors and savvy seasoned investors as well as first time home buyers. I moved to a new market and started a team to help manage the volume of two really hot markets. I'd love to help everyone see that you don't have to be born into real estate or be rich to succeed in this business. You just have to know your shit, hustle, provide value, and be genuine.I'd love to inspire listeners to pursue their passion, especially if it's real estate. I am smart and strategic, and I wasn't born into wealth or born into the real estate business. I took a huge leap of faith with my first investment and made $60k profit on a 400 square foot cabin. I took a risk when I quit my six figure admin job and got a real estate license. After closing 54 deals my first year, I took another huge risk and moved 5 hours away and started a team earlier than I anticipated. I just launched Visalia Love, kinda like those rock painting community initiatives but instead I make clay heart ornaments and hang them around town for people to find and keep. Each month I buy a gift certificate from a local business and the person that finds the designated heart wins that gift. I am doing a buy out of the local minor league MLB stadium so that everyone in town can attend the game free courtesy of Heiser Home Team because I love Visalia (and baseball) so much. It's all about an abundance mindset, knowing your market thoroughly. and anticipating the needs of others. STEPHANIE AND I DISCUSS • Real Estate• Hashimotos/Thyroid issues • Ambition/drive • Teaching/school administration • How many houses did you sell your first year in real estate? • How did you get in to real estate? • Do you think the market is going to crash? • What secrets can help a new agent succeed? • What do people need to know when they buy their first investment property? • How do you know if you're getting a good deal? • How much does it cost and how long does it take to get your real estate license? • How do you manage having an autoimmune disease and being an entrepreneur? • What is wrong with the education system and how can we fix it? • How can teachers transition to real estate?

In Madonna Hanna's own words: "I truly believe that when people drop kick the drama in their lives...Anything is POSSIBLE! I am a living example of that statement.I should be booked as guest because, I am a charismatic, energetic and dynamic  survivor! Thank goodness I was bullied as a child. Being bullied prepared me to grow a thick skin and helped me to stand my ground as a retail executive in a conservative white city like Boston.I later became a high school Fashion Marketing educator in Washington State. Absolutely, no bullying allowed in my classroom! I look forward to sharing my anti-bullying classroom strategies and the anti-bullying campaigns I created and shared with schools in Washington State. Also, as a retired person, on a whim at the age of 57, (10 years ago) I became a competitive amateur sprinter. Mind you I had no prior experience at all in track and field. I have competed in numerous Washington State Senior Game events and am preparing for my 3rd. National Senior Game event, May 2022.

Ty Belknap was homeless (and felt hopeless) as a teenager. It was a struggle, but he managed to get out of the situation (and mindset). He moved from the Pacific Northwest to Hawaii. He learned Island-life and became a SCUBA Divemaster, then he moved back to Seattle, got into computers and became a techy nerd. Now, Ty Belknap has a Doctorate of Strategic Leadership and runs Port Bell SEO, a successful online marketing business. He also coaches homeless and at-risk teens so they can see that they have worth and value.Then he became a surfer and SCUBA diver. From there he found his inner nerd and started in the tech industry. By 25 he was a network engineer working at companies like Microsoft, Compaq and HP. At 36, he left the corporate world and started a web design and online marketing company (before it was called SEO). Now, with a Doctor of Strategic Leadership and Life Coaching, Ty Belknap runs Port Bell SEO with 4 employees, none of which live within 1,000 miles of his office.COVID is in the midst of creating a new normal (and aren't we all sick of hearing that?). One of the most difficult things in this "new normal" is remote working. I would love to talk about how a company can hire, fire, and motivate remote employees. I've been hiring remote employees for almost 20 years now and my current employees work from countries like Macedonia, India and Serbia (I live in the US).It redefines "solopreneur" because, although I have 4 employees, I work alone in an office all day long.Entrepreneurs are also struggling with finding their footing in the online marketing game. This is tough for many people, and I would be happy to talk about easy ways businesses can get higher in the search engines. I have been an SEO expert for almost 2 decades now, and the 3rd edition of my book, "Timeless SEO Secrets" came out in March of 2021.TY AND I DISCUSS •    SEO•    Online marketing•    Small business marketing•    Solopreneur +•    Working with remote employees•    How can a small business web site get higher in the search engines?•    Is it more difficult or easier working with remote employees over in person?•    What is SEO?•    Is there SEO I can learn to do myself?•    What advice do you have for solopreneurs?•    Why a Doctor of Strategic Leadership?•    What are the best online marketing options today?•    What do you think of social media marketing and pay per click (Google, Bing, etc.)?•    What's it like being an introvert entrepreneur?Send audience to:http://www.tysfreebook.comIs your web site Google friendly?

Rich Butler is an NYC product through and through. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, NY, Rich is one of four children, with three of the four children adopted by his mother, Irma. Irma was a career foster parent specializing in raising children with special needs. Irma officially adopted Rich a few weeks before her passing in 2000 after raising him since he was an infant when his biological mother gave him away. Rich continued paying his mother's work forward by becoming the guardian of his two adoptive special needs sisters and raising them currently with help from his brother. When not working on growing RAGE Works or the podcast network, Rich can found spending time with his wife and young daughter.Richard  is a fifteen-year podcasting veteran who got the podcast bug after appearing on Video Game News Radio and the CSS podcast in Canada as a guest. He started the My Take Radio podcast in 2006, covering mixed martial arts, pro wrestling, gaming, and entertainment. After some podcasting burnout, Rich relaunched My Take Radio as a live call-in show via Blog Talk Radio airing every Thursday from 11 PM to 2 AM. During that time, Rich interviewed various fighters, actors, wrestlers, and entertainment personalities, but the rigors of a three-hour broadcast were taking their toll. So Rich decided to start to do the show twice per week and continued that until the show's 400th episode. The My Take Radio brand morphed into RAGE Works throughout the podcast journey and served as a foundation for the RAGE Works Podcast Network serving as its flagship podcast.   The staff from My Take Radio and later RAGE Works got the podcast bug and launched their own podcasts on the network with many shows already in the triple digits of episodes. Rich continues to grow the network and is always on the hunt for unique and diverse voices who can resonate with the RAGE Works audience.  RICHARD AND I DISCUSSPodcastingCreating and running a podcast networkFinding out you're adoptedLiving and raising individuals with special needsWhen did you start podcasting?Why stop your show at 400 episodes?What challenges have you dealt with running a podcast network?What would you have done differently when launching your podcast?SEND AUDIENCE TOhttp://www.rageworks.netThe RAGE Works website is your one stop shop for gaming, tech, entertainment and pop culture content.Support the show (https://paypal.me/lukemenkes)

Teri Wellbrock is the host and producer of the international Healing Place Podcast; writer/blogger; motivational speaker; a registered Pet Partners therapy dog handler of her Labradoodle, Sammie; and founder/director of the volunteer organization, Sammie's Bundles of Hope, benefiting children with trauma history. Teri radiates a contagious energy of joyousness and hope.From her upcoming book:"A little girl, armed with dimples and a compassionate nature, silently maneuvered her way through the wicked shadows toward a beckoning light. She moved with her head bowed in fear, hands clasped in prayer above her head, begging God to make the pain stop, and with God's light shining down upon her, a unicorn shadow was cast on the plaster wall beyond her. Legend has it the unicorn bestowed miracles, magic, and wisdom. The unicorn, therefore, represents opening oneself to infinite possibilities.Unicorn Shadows is the story of my journey through trauma. By age 22 I had survived an attempted drowning by an alcoholic parent; physical abuse at the hands of a parent; sexual molestations by various predators; date rape; gang attack; attempted rape by a police officer; bank robbery in which a gun was held to my head and my co-worker was stabbed 3 times with a hunting knife; and a second bank robbery in which my co-worker was shot and murdered and I found myself face-to-face with an armed gunman. Those are merely the highlights.It is a story of faith, of finding peace amidst the chaos, of believing in the miracle of hope. The unicorn shadow represents the pain of the prayer while simultaneously portraying the hope of the miracle within.TERI AND I DISCUSS:What is your "story of hope" - personal trauma story? How has awareness of the impact of emotional abandonment and co-dependent relationships impacted your healing journey? Explain the power of friendship and soul connection with others. Why is the "I get it" (#metoo ) connection so powerful. Sharing our stories can provide a release, but also a bond with others. How has that impacted your own healing journey and helped others to heal in the process? What strategies have you added to your own coping skills toolbox and which are your favorite go-to grounding modalities?What is your mission, dream, goal in your soul work? Explain the benefits of exposing our vulnerabilities with others.  If you could reach as many people in the world as possible with your message of hope, who would you want your audience to be?What are your favorite go-to coping strategies?Send audience to:https://teriwellbrock.com/My website is where most interested listeners can find out more about me and my soul work.----------------------------------POST A REVIEWGUEST BOOKINGS CLICK HEREFollow me on Social MediaNew Town Big Dreams podcast on FacebookInstagramLinkedinLuke Menkes Kelowna RealtorMy Personal Facebook PageSupport the show (https://paypal.me/lukemenkes)
