Voluntary VAT registration might sound crazy - why become an unpaid tax collector before you legally have to? But this proactive strategy could put thousands of pounds back in your pocket. This episode reveals when voluntary VAT registration makes sense and how it could benefit your growing business.We explore five compelling reasons to consider early registration, from reclaiming pre-registration VAT up to four years back, to improving cash flow and professional credibility. We also cover the real downsides - admin burden, pricing impacts, and when it could hurt your business. Whether you're approaching the £90K threshold or just starting out, this episode provides the framework to make an informed decision.Main Topics & DiscussionUnderstanding Voluntary VAT RegistrationUK businesses must register for VAT within 30 days of hitting £90,000 turnover over 12 months. Voluntary registration means choosing to register before you're legally required - taking control of timing and terms rather than being forced into it.Five Key Benefits of Voluntary RegistrationCash Injection from Pre-Registration Claims: Reclaim VAT on purchases made before registration. For goods/assets you still own, claim back up to four years. For services like accounting fees or website development, claim back six months prior. Keep proper VAT invoices as evidence.Improved Cash Flow: Reclaim VAT on laptops, software, and stock inventory. Over 30+ years, this has helped clients reclaim hundreds or thousands of pounds, making a real difference to cash flow.Professional Credibility: VAT registration signals you're serious and professional. Large clients may prefer working with VAT-registered suppliers, helping you land bigger contracts.Avoid Future Penalties: If you're growing, hitting £90K is often inevitable. Voluntary registration prevents missed deadlines, fines, penalties, and interest charges.Better Systems: Forces proper accounting and bookkeeping from day one, providing valuable business data for better decision-making.The Downsides to ConsiderPricing Impact: Adding 20% VAT may make you less competitive with consumers or non-VAT registered businesses. Options include absorbing costs, slight price increases, or targeting VAT-registered clients.Admin Burden: Making Tax Digital (April 2026) requires digital records, quarterly returns, and approved software. Proper cloud accounting setup makes this manageable."Intending Trader" RegistrationYou can register before making your first sale as an "intending trader," allowing VAT claims on startup costs before any revenue comes in.Who Should Consider ItAsk yourself: Planning fast growth? Buying from VAT-registered suppliers? Selling to VAT-registered businesses? Can you manage the admin? Yes to two or more questions means seriously consider it.The NumbersExample: £20,000 annual VAT-related purchases = £4,000 reclaimable VAT. If clients are VAT-registered, that £4K goes straight back to you. B2B businesses typically make more profit when VAT-registered.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeMaking Tax Digital podcast episodeMTD and Incorporation: Is It Time to Go Limited?

Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Wholesaling Inc Edition), Brent Daniels is joined by Ellis Tran. He dives deep into the world of co-living/padsplit, sharing his personal strategies and top advice to help you get started. This episode is packed with value — I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: Ellis explains why the two most powerful words in real estate are no longer just "cash flow"—they're now “pad” and “split,” revealing how co-living allows investors to generate income even in high-priced appreciation markets. A full breakdown of how Padsplit's room-by-room rental model can turn a single-family home into a 7–9 bedroom income machine, generating $2K–$2.5K/month in net cash flow—even at Arizona's current median home price. Key property criteria for successful co-living investments: C to C+ neighborhoods, non-HOA, corner lots, close to public transportation and job centers—plus how to legally structure rentals to navigate density and zoning rules. Why Padsplit's tech-driven platform is “Airbnb for affordable housing,” offering furnished rooms with no credit checks for renters, while handling payments, tenant screening, and conflict mitigation for investors. Insights into how investors are scaling fast, converting underperforming Airbnbs and even building multifamily Padsplits—like one project converting 24 duplexes into 96 cash-flowing bedrooms projected to gross $90K/month.

ニテコランナー北村教授、ゆりかもめウルトラ70Kの振り返りとトレーニング（「北村インターバル」）のお話、どうぞ
I first met The Wildwoods at The Zoo Bar in Lincoln, NE back when they were just getting started at 14 and 15 years old. I was roughly 21 and on one of my first (if not very first) tours. We've stayed in touch, played shows together, and run into each other at hotel lobby bars at music conferences. Their sound goes beyond acoustic instruments and in-tune harmonies, they're poets with high-level musicianship and arranging abilities. Their success on the road and on social media (nearly 250K followers on instagram and 90K on TikTok) is no surprise, but rather a testament to their hard work and ability to package and deliver their product. In our conversation, we chat about the band's origins, how the three bandmates play to each other's strong suits, supporting Tophouse on their most recent headlining tour, how they implemented a strategy for social media growth, and their new album, Dear Meadowlark, which began gracing listeners ears on April 11, 2025. From The Wildwoods Website: "In the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods emerge as a folk/Americana trio, a musical tapestry woven by the husband-and-wife duo, Noah (guitar) and Chloe Gose (violin), alongside long-time friend and bassist, Andrew Vaggalis. Their story is a symphony of exploration and connection, a journey that has taken them from the Midwest to international stages, carving out a unique place in the folk landscape. Their presence has graced stages alongside artists such as Mighty Poplar, Sierra Ferrell, Aiofe O' Donovan, Melissa Carper, Jamie Wyatt and Joe Nichols at concerts and festivals like Summerfest, FreshGrass and the Oyster Ridge Music Festival.

Scott Bauer is “selling the rip” on gold, buying put spreads as the metal continues to hit all-time highs.

Y'all, this week's episode is super special to me—I'm bringing back the very first guest I ever had on the show: my good friend, rodeo legend, and multi-time World Champion Martha Angelone.I'll never forget when we recorded our first episode—literally in the front seat of a Dodge truck at circuit finals with a cell phone and Raymond in the backseat. Fast forward, and now Martha's back with a ton of wins, big money earned, and even bigger insight on how she's crushing the Women's Rodeo World Championships game.We talked all things WRWC, and Martha didn't hold anything back. She broke down exactly how she's earned over $325K in WCRA and more than $228K in WRWC—from her weekly nomination strategy to how she sets herself up for success in breakaway, heading, and heeling.One of my favorite moments from the episode was hearing her talk about winning $90K in one week, buying her horse Jesse James, and how that single moment changed her career. Martha is proof that hard work, strategy, and a little faith go a long way.One thing Martha said that hit me hard:“If I didn't keep going, I wouldn't be here today… not on this podcast, not anywhere.”If you haven't started nominating yet, let this episode light that fire. And hey, use my code HOLLABAUGH10 to save some money on those entries.

Sarah's under the weather, but we can't let it get in the way of our 900th episode celebration! Susie tells us that a rare Charizard hit the market, and it's a Cheeto. We're pretty psyched about it, but not as psyched as whatever fool paid $90K for it. There's still time to bid on the Cheeto that looks like the Air Jordan logo though, so don't sleep on that. Susie is obsessed with the Gene Hackman death mystery and how it had the wildest ending imaginable--perfect for a movie...just saying. Sarah is a ChatGPT enthusiast, so we debate whether AI should be used to write emotional texts like obituaries, thank you notes, and breakup letters.

#richmondva #blackbank #maggielenawalker In 1903, Maggie Lena Walker was the first Black woman to charter an American bank and become its Bank President... An astounding accomplishment for a Black Woman in the early 1900s. The lesson highlights five key integrated Black ideas exemplified by Walker, emphasizing the importance of independent thought, collaborative leadership, and practical application of concepts for Black advancement.Professor Kimya outlined five key lessons derived from the work of Maggie Lena Walker that are still pertinent for Black people today. These are presented as interconnected "integrated black ideas".Firstly, Walker emphasized the critical need for Black people to develop their own concepts and theories and to actively implement them through strategies and actions to achieve tangible results. She serves as an example of someone who moved beyond abstract ideas to create real-world change.Secondly, Walker's work underscored the importance of collaborative leadership and the collective development of knowledge. This challenges individualistic approaches and highlights the power of working together and leveraging available resources for communal advancement.Thirdly, Walker demonstrated the significance of establishing economic development initiatives within the Black community. Her involvement in banking, newspapers, and retail showcased a strategy of connecting these sectors to foster economic empowerment.Fourthly, Walker's leadership within the Independent Order of St. Luke and her participation in secret societies illustrated the vital role of community organizations and networking in facilitating social and economic progress for Black people. These networks provided essential support and opportunities.Finally, Walker's later engagement with Disability Services emphasized the importance of addressing the diverse needs present within the Black community, ensuring that efforts for advancement are inclusive of all members.

This episode of Professor Kimya's class focuses on reducing Black poverty by emphasizing individual and family financial planning. The lecture advocates for realistic financial plans, legitimate financial advice from authorized planners, and consideration of a financial plan's impact on future generations. **It stresses the importance of understanding and utilizing tax-funded services instead of viewing them as government handouts. Professor Kimya encourages informed voting, contributing to Black safety nets, and building financial literacy from a young age. The class highlights the need for Black people to develop their own cultural concepts and economic power, drawing inspiration from figures like Harold Cruz. It encourages integrating different approaches to achieve collective advancement and self-reliance while responsibly utilizing available resources.Harold Crusehttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hu97GJJgMWbdfZw6fb33wW57BhReENYIWilliam Julius Wilsonhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Dra3RpL4laiCco5O6g90cL3Arr0NHknI Here are some of the key highlights from the video:* **Financial Planning and Advice**: * It's important to have a realistic financial plan that includes achievable goals. * Financial advice should be legitimate and from authorized sources, such as a financial planner. Be wary of scams, especially those targeting the Black community. * Consider how financial decisions impact the family, both positively and negatively, and plan ahead for emergencies. * Financial literacy and planning should be taught across generations.* **Seeking Professional Guidance**: * The video recommends seeking a financial advisor as soon as one has an income, even if it's not substantial. * A financial advisor can provide personalized advice and create a financial plan tailored to individual circumstances.* **Utilizing Available Resources**: * Take advantage of free financial planning classes and programs offered by public libraries, community colleges, and Black organizations. * **Utilize tax-funded services and resources**, remembering that these are not "government handouts" but services paid for through taxes.* **Understanding Wealth Building**: * Wealth building doesn't necessarily mean becoming a millionaire; it means saving more than you spend and building up savings and investments over time. * Be aware of cash flow planning, retirement income, Social Security benefits, disability insurance, living wills, and life insurance.* **Collective and Societal Level Strategies**: * Support Black organizations and institutions, but be aware that many receive government funding, which may influence their activities. * Be an informed voter, looking beyond popularity and jargon, and consider voting across party lines. * Contribute to Black community safety nets and preventive measures, focusing on building money, health resources, and school resources together while avoiding paranoia.* **Drawing on Black Intellectualism and History**: * The video references Harold Cruz's cooperative plan, which drew from W.E.B. Du Bois's cooperative economic plan.Interested in sponsoring the channel?

Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza. 01:06 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Hey, hey everyone. Welcome to the VO Boss Podcast. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, and today I am privileged and honored to have special guest voiceover actor and the creator of the Building Doors campaign, Christy Harst Yay. 01:22 - Christy Harst (Guest) Thank you very much for having me. I appreciate the opportunity. 01:26 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Yeah, Christy, I'm so excited. I feel like we're soul sisters here. 01:32 - Christy Harst (Guest) You have better makeup, but yes, Well. 01:35 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) I'll tell you what. It is wonderful to have you on the show because you're doing amazing things and I want the bosses to know about them. So for those bosses that don't know who you are, let's kind of start at the beginning. Talk to us a little bit about your career. You've been in this industry for quite a while, so tell us a little bit about how you got started. 01:54 - Christy Harst (Guest) Sure, thank you. I appreciate that. I majored in broadcast communications and I was supposed to be the next Barbara Walters in case you didn't get the facts in the 80s, it turns out that after an internship at MTV, I saw what women had to do and who they had to be to be at the top and it wasn't something I was willing to do. 02:12 So I pivoted, if you will, and had a career a traditional nine to five career, if you will, in marketing, pr and event planning, la-di-da-di. And I always felt this pull and this tug when I would listen to the radio and I would hear these people and I would say, oh. 02:28 - Intro (Ad) God. 02:28 - Christy Harst (Guest) I can do it so much better than them. Oh my God, it's so painful. And so one year I made a New Year's resolution to get an agent and I did and I didn't get one audition. So the next year I said, well, forget them, I'm going to go get another one. And I got another one. And I was with that agent for 17 years. I booked national campaigns, I did a lot of on-camera. 02:49 That was BC before children, and once my husband and I decided to have kids, we decided to build a studio in the house in the basement and I booked national campaigns from there as well. And now I'm on the first level of the house with a studio brick, so I feel like I'm no longer a basement troll. 03:06 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) There's something to be said for those basement studios though. I mean I had one. I mean we don't have basements here in California and they make great studios they do, that's for sure. 03:15 - Christy Harst (Guest) No, they do, they do, and mine was very makeshift. 03:21 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) But hey, I did it. I mean, I'm just saying that was the only noise really when that went on. 03:26 - Christy Harst (Guest) I always used to have to run and manually turn off the HVAC, go and do work and then go run and my kids would be like it's so cold, it's so cold, I'm like I'm not done, recording I'm not done. And then, most recently I would say in the last five years actually, five years ago I went to my first voiceover conference and it was in Columbus, ohio, and it was something called the Mid-American or Mid-something and I knew no one. I knew absolutely no one and I ended up there meeting. Listen to all the heavyweights that were there and I had no clue. So Roy Yolkerson was there, joe Cipriano was there, mark Scott was there it was his first conference ever that he was teaching a class Rodney Salisbury was there, jmc was there, all these people and I had no idea. I had no idea who any of these people were. 04:16 So I was late getting to some of the breakout sessions and there weren't that many left to pick from and the only one that was left was Joe Cipriano's promo class. I didn't even know what promo was and I was like, oh gosh, fine, I'll go into this one. There was only me and like three other people and AJ McKay was in there running it and I went up and did it and I was hooked. I was like you mean, I can say five words and each word is like a different story. And I'm done, I'm done, that's it. I love it, because I don't do audiobooks. I'm not a marathon runner. 04:52 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) I am a sprinter Right. 04:54 - Christy Harst (Guest) Yeah, absolutely. And so from that point forward I was kind of like, oh, I really think I could do this, and so I ended up working with Joe. We flew to New York. I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, but we flew to New York and recorded a demo for Network Promo and Joe is wonderful. Oh my gosh, he's amazing. He really is. He's so gracious. He's a wonderful teacher. 05:13 - Intro (Ad) And. 05:13 - Christy Harst (Guest) I learned a lot from him. Absolutely and it ended up being nominated for a SOVA and I was the only woman in the category. I lost to Dave Fennoy. But again, if you're going to lose to somebody, that's right Lose to Dave Fennoy, right? 05:27 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Yes, absolutely. 05:34 - Christy Harst (Guest) Who is also an amazing human being. And then after that I started to try and explore promo and so on and so forth. And I am a former college athlete, I am a former head varsity coach, my kids are both terribly athletic and my bank account shows it, and we're a sporting family. We choose to go to sporting events for almost like our staycations. So I said why don't I do sports promo, like that's a perfect way to match my passion and my ability and my talent? And for a good three, four years I invested in training, I invested in workshops, I invested in demos and it wasn't getting me anywhere and I just was getting really frustrated. 06:10 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) So why do you think you did all the things right? You did all the things right, you got your training, and you trained with some of the best. You got your demos, and so what do you think was the issue? What was not happening, and see, that's the fun part. 06:25 - Christy Harst (Guest) That's where Building Doors, a campaign that I started, really was birthed, because I didn't know. I was doing everything that everyone told me to do. Sure, I was doing out-of-box marketing. I was creating fan videos where I voiced them, I wrote them, I created them. I was doing all of the things that you're supposed to do Email marketing, cold calling, all of the things, and nothing was moving the needle. All of the hard things. 06:46 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) All of the hard things, yeah, but you know I enjoyed it. And yeah, I was going to say, and something tells me that you did it with full force. Oh yeah, Not even like 100%. I feel like you did 150 to 200%. I just get that about you. 07:00 - Christy Harst (Guest) Yeah, well, you know, when I sink my teeth into something, I don't let go. 07:03 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) I'm right there with you. I feel that. 07:05 - Christy Harst (Guest) Why not Like? Why, If you're going? 07:06 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) to do it, do it all the way. 07:08 - Christy Harst (Guest) And so I had signed up for a promo workshop with a prominent promo LA agent, a woman, and during that workshop I did a read for her and she was like, yeah, book, it's great book. 07:19 And I was like you know what? Okay, stop, I'm not booked. I'm never booked and I'm not repped by one of the larger agencies, so the access to those opportunities are even smaller. So what are my chances? What are my chances in booking sports promo? And she was very honest. And she said not so much. And I said why it was interesting because my whole body just slumped and there were people in the room, in the Zoom room, were like Christy, no, don't slump, it's okay. No, no, no. And she said it's not for a lack of women trying to create opportunities for women in these niche spaces. These opportunities that are created by women climb and climb and climb up the ladder of decision making and when it reaches the C-suite to a middle-aged man, they say love the concept, not the voice. We're putting a man on it, sure, and she said I encourage you to make your own noise. And so I got off the workshop and I was like but I am making my own noise, I am doing out-of-the-box marketing, I am creating videos for specific teams, I want to voice for I am working my LinkedIn connection, I'm doing everything I possibly can. 08:36 Went to bed, woke up the next morning called Brandon Miller, who is the VO craftsman, and I just went off. Is the VO craftsman and I just went off. Brandon, can you believe what she said to me? What am I supposed to do? I'm so upset. What am I supposed to do? You mean to tell me that just because I'm a woman, that I'm not getting access to these opportunities on my own? That's nuts. So I went to walk the dog. I came back and I called him and I said here's what we're going to do. We are going to get women, other female voice actors and I'm going to partner with women around the world and we are going to revoice scripts originally voiced by men in male-centric genres like construction, like alcohol, like tech, like sports, like automobiles, and we are going to show through these reels that not only are women good at it, but also brands are not going to miss anything from it. 09:25 You know those C-suite men who are saying, oh no, well, why? Because women statistically have anywhere it depends on the globe or United States but anywhere between 60 and 80 percent of the purchasing power in their homes. They make the decisions about what money is spent and where, whether you get season tickets, whether you get swag when you go to a game. What kind of camps your kids go to, what kind everything right. So women have the purchasing power. Number one. Number two women don't want a wine night with pink logoed hats anymore at games. That's not what they want. Women are sports fans. Women are carpenters. 10:02 Women are tech driven, so why are we using men as the messaging? And the more and more and I dug into this, the more it spurred me to keep going. Because here's why, for example, the voice of Sondi I know Sondi, yeah, yeah, sondi, okay, gorgeous voice. She chose to do a spot for Lowe's. So in researching every spot, every reel, I want to have it based in data. So I was doing research and I stumbled upon a study that Lowe's had conducted because they wanted to differentiate themselves from Home Depot. What they knew was that Home Depot was a spot that contractors went to. Typically, men are the contractors. Home Depot is poorly lit, it's messy, there are limited displays and the aisles are super tight. So because Lowe's recognizes that women have the highest purchasing power, they decided to make their stores well-lit really wide aisles, everything is bright and colorful. And then they have these huge displays that show you how you can use the products and what you can create. Yet they rarely use a woman on their branded campaigns for TV and radio Rarely. 11:15 We're missing something here, right, if you had all that money to do a study and you put all that attention into gearing your stores towards women because you know that they have the highest purchasing power. Why aren't you using more women in front of and behind the camera? Sure? 11:30 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Well, it doesn't make sense, right, comes down to who are those decision makers, right? Who are the decision makers that are selecting the voices, which is, as you mentioned prior, a lot of times and this also happens when we audition, right? I mean, why is it that when we audition, we're told casting specs to be conversational and talking to your best friend and then, ultimately, when it airs, we possibly hear something that sounds like the old announcer-y thing? Well, could be that an older person that was doing the directing or that finally made that choice, made that choice. 12:04 And so I think it really depends on who's making the choice for the voice talent. And I get you in terms of being in male-dominated fields. I've kind of myself have been an engineer back in the late 80s, I worked in technology for about 20 years. I'm a female demo producer, and so I've been treading that line the whole time. So I really feel that a campaign that can bring awareness right, so it's not just maybe the one person making that decision, but they can bring awareness to the world or the companies. I think that that is a really wonderful way to get things going and actually building doors and breaking the glass ceiling for women. 12:47 - Christy Harst (Guest) Yeah, and you know that day after I walked my dog, I was like, well, everyone uses these terms like go kick down the door, go knock on the door, and what I realized is that there's no door for me to knock on. So I have to build it and I'm going to bring a bunch of other women with me. I love it. 13:04 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Yeah, let's talk about the Building Doors campaign. When did you start? 13:08 - Christy Harst (Guest) March 1st of 2024. So it's been 10 months. 13:12 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Okay, and what did you do to start building that? What was required for you to do that? A website, a domain. 13:20 - Christy Harst (Guest) No, no, I didn't even have. I had nothing. It was February 9th or 10th and I was like this is what's going to happen, I'm going to do it. And I remember there was a moment I was sitting on my couch and I said to myself if you're going to do it, you have to do it now, but if you're not going to do it, just don't, because it's going to take a lot of work and you have less than two and a half weeks to launch this on March 1st, for in honor of Women's History Month, and I was like, all right, fine, it's done. 13:44 And I started calling all the women that I knew. Then I started researching women online and on Instagram and at first I just used my social media, so I didn't have time to create a page Like it wouldn't have had the impact right. So I launched it on my Instagram, on YouTube, on Facebook, on LinkedIn and on TikTok and I was literally going to do one post. Then one post turned into a month. All right, fine, I'll do a month. And then something happened. People actually watched it, people actually commented and people actually shared, and they shared it to the point where a woman got a job from it, and I think that that shows the power of community when you all unite under a shared mission. 14:26 So Ashley Tirado is a voice actor who did a spot for Honda Sport. She voiced it and about three or four months later she called me and said she doesn't know who, but somebody forwarded or shared this reel. Someone saw it, forwarded it to an ad agency in Florida. That Florida agency reached out to Ashley and hired her to do a slew of Honda spots. Building doors at that point had created an opportunity that otherwise didn't exist for a woman in voiceover in a male-centric lane, and that was like recreational drugs for me. I was like, yes, I'm hooked. 14:59 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Yes, I'm hooked. I also do automotive, but I'll tell you what it's been a hard climb in automotive as well. I do not get the amount of automotive that I know my male counterparts do, so it's kind of like I feel like when they want a novelty, when they want a novelty, they want something just a little bit different, they're going to hire the woman, but more than not. I'm hearing those campaigns either. The campaign that I had was taken over by a male voice. So, yeah, it is something that I feel like as a female wanting to have the same opportunities. It's hard, it really is, and you do have to build doors. And so now, after I would say 10 months, what happened after that? Because you bought the domain, do you have a website? 15:46 - Christy Harst (Guest) I do, and you know why? Because there was a woman. I have a lot of Zoom calls. 15:50 I spend a lot of my time trying to get to brands, talk to brands, talking to all these different people, and a lot of my time trying to get to brands, talk to brands, talking to all these different people, and a lot of the brands I've talked to I haven't publicly shared because I'm not ready to yet, but there was a woman who was the former head legal for a major, major major sports an American sports company, if you will, or brand and she said listen, I can totally hook you up with the top people because your message deserves to be heard there. However, I can't do it unless you have a website. And I had been dragging my feet and I was like, well, there's an investment there, yeah, so, yeah, I mean I get that. 16:26 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) I have multiple websites, so I know, yeah, yeah, and that is probably coming out of your pocket. It did. 16:32 - Christy Harst (Guest) Yeah, it did, and that's when things started to get really serious. Because I invested in the website, I created it on my own in Wix over a weekend. Fronk his last name, I think, is Fronk he helped me yeah, Jim Jim Fronk. 16:44 Yep, he helped me work through some things. He was wonderful, and so now we have a website. And I mentioned, oh my gosh, the Veal Craftsman, Brandon Miller. He does all the videos for free for me, so he volunteered to do all of the reels for me for free, which is amazing, right? That's fabulous. Yeah, and so I've had some really great conversations with brands like Valvoline, the Cleveland Guardians, the Cleveland Cavs, and I will say that I didn't realize and I want to say this to everyone listening, that is, in voice, acting who's putting stuff out on social media. People, see you, they may never like it. 17:18 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) They may never, comment they may 17:20 - Christy Harst (Guest) never, share it, but they see you, they're watching you, because the person from the Cavs reached out to me. A middle-aged white man reached out to me and said I've been watching you, I've been watching the campaign and I want to put you in a room full of decision-makers across four different athletic associations Nice, so who would have ever guessed that? Right yeah? 17:42 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Who would have ever guessed that Now do you have a separate social media channel for Building Doors? 17:47 - Christy Harst (Guest) We just started it. It is at BuildingDoorsVO, on Instagram and LinkedIn. We are only doing Instagram and LinkedIn because, after a data analysis, I discovered that those are the platforms with the highest engagement and reach. On LinkedIn, our number one post is sitting at 90K impressions Nice and our highest post on Instagram has something crazy like 12 viewing hours and it's a 20-second clip. 18:11 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Now, what is it that you are promoting on the social channels? Are you creating videos with females voicing traditionally yeah, male promo roles. What are you presenting as content? 18:24 - Christy Harst (Guest) I'm so excited for 2025 because not only are we going to be featuring women one per month, they're the door builders that are going to be reading scripts previously voiced by men and male-centric genres but we're also going to be doing a lot of other cool stuff. 18:37 Like, we are going to do a LinkedIn Live and an Instagram Live series. I'd like to do one on LinkedIn a month and one on Instagram a month, but we'll see and they are going to imagine this. It's a panel discussion that is all based under the mission of Building Doors, which is equality, equal opportunity, but it'll include people who support the campaign. So, for example, let's say, the panel consists of a copywriter, a voiceover actor, a graphic designer and then maybe a casting director who knows right, and they're all talking about an issue that not only can be of service to the voiceover community they can learn from, but also highlights our supporters and highlights people who have a service that voice actors could potentially hire from. You know, forming community right now in 2025, is essential, I think, especially in our country, so that people know where to go to communicate, to connect and to know where to put their money so they can support like-minded people. 19:35 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Fabulous, that's fantastic, and so right now you have your socials all set. 19:40 - Christy Harst (Guest) So we've been live on social for about a month or two months, okay, and Instagram is slowly climbing. Our LinkedIn page needs some more followers, right? So at Building Doors VO, I am currently well, it's a holiday so I'm not posting as much but starting in January, yes, there is going to be more women reading reels. Hopefully, those LinkedIn and Instagram lives will be up and running in January. And also, you know, I'm going to be featuring supporters, so people who support us. I feature them in image and help share their story. For example, I have featured an award-winning UK digital marketing agency a. 20:14 Afro-Indigenous puppeteer and comedian, so I'll be featuring those people as well. 20:19 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) I'm looking at buildingdoorsvo.com right now and you have an amazing roster of ladies there. 20:27 - Christy Harst (Guest) Well, I appreciate you saying that, because how do I get? 20:29 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) involved. Hey, this is fantastic. You've got quite a few. That's amazing, Like at least 32 that I'm counting right now. 20:38 - Christy Harst (Guest) Yeah, and there'll be 44 at the end of it. 20:40 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) That's it. 20:40 - Christy Harst (Guest) I would like to point out that we are not a talent agency, we are not a brand manager, we are not a casting site. When I talk to a brand, one of the things I ask them is that would you be willing to the next time you need a female voice actor, would you be willing to consider a door builder? And they usually say yes and then they can go to the website and they go and reach out to that person directly. I'm not in it, right. So then they can take that to their agent and everybody wins, I think. 21:09 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) And then if the door builder gets booked. 21:11 - Christy Harst (Guest) I ask if I can share it as a success story. And for example, natasha. Natasha just got booked from her reel. She did a reel where she was reading something for the Oscars. Someone saw it on LinkedIn, reached out and said hey, will you do my podcast intro and outro? And so she got that job. She did it, and getting work for people who are featured is a great cherry on top, but it's not necessarily what is meant for the campaign, right? Because we're not a casting site, we're not a talent agent right. 21:39 We want to show that women can do this. They should have the access to the opportunities to do it, and if you choose one of these women, great. But if not, at least we've planted the seed that, yeah, a woman can voice a UFC spot. Sure. A woman can do a wealth management spot or a tech spot. 21:55 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Now, how are you working on funding? Are you thinking, what are your thoughts about getting additional funding? Because I know, simply because I have multiple domains, this is not something out of your own pocket. Owning the domain, you've got to pay for that. You've got to pay for the website, you've got to pay for the hosting of the website. Ultimately, you've got a domain. Maybe you're going to send email from it, so then you're going to need an email server. I mean, there's just a bunch of stuff Having the social media channels and you're also a working voice actor, so you're donating a lot of your time and I know that you recently have some women that are now on board to help you in the Building Doors campaign. But what are you thinking about in terms of funding? 22:34 - Christy Harst (Guest) I need funding, yeah. 22:37 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Are you going to create, maybe, a scholarship or become like a nonprofit? What's going to happen so? 22:45 - Christy Harst (Guest) I think and this is probably not going to be a popular opinion, but I think that people or groups that advocate for a mission or a cause, they can earn money too. It's okay. It's okay. And no, we're not going to be a nonprofit. I have no desire to run a nonprofit. I worked for nonprofits for years in my nine to five career and I know what the mentality is. I know the paperwork. It's just not something I desire to. We are a for-profit. We are an LLC under CEH Productions, which is my LLC, and I am so blessed to have the ambassadors. These are women that did pay a certain amount to be in the campaign and they get access to make decisions about the campaign and while that money is great, it's not. 23:32 I'm not earning any money is what I'm saying, Like the funds that I've collected to date help cover the cost of the initial investment that I've made and help cover the cost of the website in the future, but I'm definitely not earning any money. So I've been applying for grants for female small business owners. I am open to other ideas and I'm going to be honest with you, anne, it's something that I'm really struggling with right now and trying to figure out, because if this mission is going to have the impact that I want it to have and if I want to do the ideas that I think are necessary for this brand, I need money, and you know I can't continue at the pace that I am, as just me, right, and I do have some help with some of the ambassadors Amy, selma and Sandi. 24:14 They've been so great to me and the ambassadors in general have been really great about picking up some of the stuff that I can't. But if I had it my way, I'd hire a social media manager today. I'd hire a personal assistant today, I'd hire someone to do the books today. And, for example, I've been fortunate enough. I'm going to be going to the WESPN conference in May in New York. 24:38 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) I have been encouraged to go there to make face-to-face connections, Absolutely, I mean, that's a cost as well. I mean well. 24:42 - Christy Harst (Guest) I'd like to say that such a voice is paying for my ticket. Well, okay, they're paying for the ticket for me to go, but I still need to find funding for airfare and ground transportation. So that takes time. Right, finding sponsors to take you somewhere where you know you could make the biggest difference and the biggest impact that takes time. 25:01 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Absolutely, absolutely Well, you're certainly building doors, and I completely, completely get that. I mean, you're starting from the ground up, and so there's a lot of work involved, there's a lot of questions, there's a lot of navigating, trying things out. Back in the day, I like to say that I pioneered the hybrid workout, which was online and live at the same time. Back in the early days, when there was no streaming live on the internet before Zoom was a thing, I had some technological experience so I started doing that. So there's no clear path, and so to me, that defines a boss, and I love interviewing people who really exemplify and showcase bossness. 25:44 - Christy Harst (Guest) Wow. 25:44 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Thank you, yeah, so I mean really congratulations. What you've done is the start of something truly amazing. And if there's any way that VO Boss can help you out. We're here to help you spread the message far and wide. How can bosses get in touch with you, christy, if they want to know more, if they want to contribute? 26:01 - Christy Harst (Guest) Yes, so definitely follow us at at Building Doors VO on Instagram and LinkedIn. I also want to give a quick plug that I'm doing an impact study and those links are on those channels as well. If you could fill out the impact study, that would be great.

I mean I'm going to be following you from now on and bosses out there, make sure that you follow Christy, and we will be in touch, and I'd like to have a follow-up interview with you for sure. 26:51 - Christy Harst (Guest) Oh, I'd love it. 26:52 - Anne Ganguzza (Host) Because I see great things.

Blair Durham of Black BRAND discusses Legacy Day and the organization's mission to narrow the racial wealth gap. The organization is using a 150-year plan driven by data and partnerships with institutions like Virginia Tech to address key pillars that influence wealth. These pillars include health, education, media, technology, policy, justice, and affordable housing. Durham emphasizes the importance of community-driven efforts, historical awareness, and the need to actively shape a positive future for the Black community through intentional action and legacy building. Black BRAND's work centers around Business Research, Analytics, Networking, and Development to promote Black economic empowerment.Here are ten important points and quotes from Blair Durham's talk:Black Brand's name is an acronym that stands for business research and analytics networking and development.Black Brand has been developing a 150-year plan in partnership with Virginia Tech to build a data dashboard1. This plan aims to narrow the racial wealth gap by connecting all the pillars that inform wealth1.•A significant part of the 150-year plan focuses on people and values, including social determinants of health and food access.Less than 1% of venture capital goes to the Black community, which is related to the lack of new technologies coming from the Black community due to limited access to STEM resources1.•Policy and justice are important pillars, with issues like traffic stops and the impact of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs being considered1. Durham asks whether the last 65 years of DEI programs actually translated to more wealth in the Black community, and notes that most data says no1.•According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, housing is considered affordable if it costs less than 30% of gross income.Durham notes that the affordable housing crisis disproportionately affects the Black community."If it's not a grassroots effort, it's likely not going to happen"1. Durham emphasizes the importance of community involvement to achieve progress.The Sankofa logo is central to Black Brand's identity, symbolizing the importance of looking back to the past to inform the future1. "It is not taboo to go back and fetch what you've forgotten," Durham says, noting that this includes ancient, recent, and personal history.Durham journals to remember the past, and encourages everyone to speak legacy into young people, because it is their responsibility to teach them who they are.... Durham states that "the most important priority for the black community is the black community, not a particular political party".Interested in sponsoring the podcast?

Leadership Adaptability and Efficacy: Dr. Pat emphasizes the importance of adaptability for leaders, highlighting awareness, diligence, accommodation, proficiency, and transience as key elements He introduces the Leader Efficacy Model, a quadrant-based approach to mentoring and growing leaders within a business.Enjoy the final section of Dr. Pat's presentation at the Black BRAND Summit, focusing on leadership and business acumen. He emphasizes the importance of adaptability, awareness, diligence, proficiency, and being transient for leaders. Dr. Pat introduces his Leader Efficacy Model, which categorizes individuals into potentials, promoters, producers, and performers, providing guidance on how to nurture and deploy talent within an organization. He further addresses cultivating essential leadership qualities like accountability and advocates for training to empower teams. Dr. Pat underscores the importance of knowing both your own and your employees' strengths and weaknesses, as well as the need to cultivate core values in a company through training and by leading by example. The presentation concludes with a question-and-answer session that explores strategies for developing leaders, properly placing employees, and addressing underperformance.Key aspects of Dr. Pat's leadership insights include:Adaptability: Every leader needs to adapt by being aware, diligent, and accommodating. Awareness: Leaders should know their brand's position in the marketplace, similar to how stockbrokers monitor market happenings. Diligence: Diligence drives passion and enables leaders to excel, requiring accommodation for circumstances and individual strengths and shortcomings. Leader Efficacy Model: This model involves four quadrants: potentials (identify, design a path, and develop), promoters (retain and restore), producers (engage and empower), and performers (develop, direct, and deploy).... Leaders should aim to have these four types of people on their team to scale their business.Accountability: Dr. Pat stresses that leaders must be accountable to themselves and their teams, taking responsibility for their actions to enhance credibility4.Individual Leadership Development Plan: Every leader needs a plan to attain their vision alongside an accountability partner. Great leaders understand their weaknesses, empowering strengths and delegating challenges.The 10/80/10 Modification of the Pareto Principle: The top 10% are the performers making things happen, the 80% are just there riding the wave, and the bottom 10% are not working out. Give the bottom 10% a mutually agreed upon time with a training process to attain specific milestones and goals.Hiring and Placement: Use assessments like DiSC to align individuals with appropriate roles based on their strengths. If someone is not performing, consider if they are in the proper position and provide training to help them excel.Leading by Example: A leader's core values and how he leads himself will determine how the organization is led.Interested in sponsoring the podcast?

Beverly Grandison's presentation at Legacy Day emphasizes proactive health management and community empowerment. She shares her personal health journey overcoming multiple sclerosis through holistic methods, advocating for food as medicine and the importance of mental and spiritual well-being. Grandison stresses the significance of lifestyle changes—nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and intermittent fasting—to combat lifestyle diseases and improve overall health outcomes. The presentation also addresses disparities in health within the Black community, urging a shift from hereditary beliefs about diseases towards embracing healthier habits and choices. Grandison encourages listeners to prioritize their health, form supportive communities, and challenge conventional medical approaches when necessary. Practical tools like salad jar recipes, breathing exercises, and resources like the China Study are offered to support immediate implementation.Beverly Grandison discusses the following steps that people can take regarding their health1:•Nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and intermittent fasting are simple steps to take, but people tend to overcomplicate these things while chasing a magic pill.2.•Drink more water - A person should drink half their body weight in ounces of water and to tell yourself that you love water.3....•Get more sleep - Sleep is non-negotiable.4.•Eat real food - Real food does not come in a package and does not have a long label list.5.•Practice deep breathing - Deep breathing can lower blood pressure.6.•Move your body - Movement is non-negotiable, and if you don't move it, you're going to lose it.7.•A person should make five lifestyle changes, knowing that disease is not hereditary.8.•Nutrition includes water and real meals.9•Be mindful by going outside to get some fresh air, hugging a tree, and walking outside with bare feet.10.•Practice gratitude and find a word for the year to live into.11.•Practice the breathing exercise 4-7-8.12.•Follow the principles in the book The Four Agreements.13.•Practice intermittent fasting - Get a standing desk.14.•Time block and put yourself on the calendar15.•Read labels & Expand your options by preparing salads in a jar16.•Be in alignmentInterested in sponsoring the podcast?

Forgiveness is an essential part of the healing journey, not because it erases the past but because it frees us from being trapped in it. True healing isn't about forgetting what happened or pretending pain never existed—it's about acknowledging the hurt while choosing to move forward with strength and grace. Forgiveness, whether for ourselves or others, allows us to release the weight of resentment and step into a life filled with more peace, joy, and emotional freedom. It is an act of courage, a gift we give not only to those who have wronged us but to ourselves, creating space for growth, love, and new beginnings.In this episode, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others—and how it shapes long-term happiness and joy with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Rev. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 90K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

26: Biden's Empathy for Child Killers, Trump Squandering his Meager Mandate, & a Saintly Single MotherWelcome to the post-Christmas episode of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. Here is what is on deck for this week's milestone episode.1) A discussion of Biden's decision to commute the sentences of Federal death row inmates, including those who murdered federal witnesses and children.2) A recent incident on the F train in New York City where an illegal immigrant, Sebastian Zapeta, set a sleeping woman on fire and killed her.3) The various warning signs that Trump 2.0 is blowing any chance of success with the spending bill mishap in the House are based on Elon Musk's input, several questionable Cabinet appointments, including Matt Gaetz's failed nomination as Attorney General, who was condemned in a House ethics report for committing statutory rape, heavy drug abuse, and spending $90K on prostitutes, and Trump's desire to take back the Panama Canal and buy Greenland.4) We revisit the story of Mickey Barreto, the scammer who tried to claim ownership of the New Yorker Hotel. Apparently, not only was Mickey a con artist, but he also was an abusive father to his son Paul, who escaped the hotel room and was taken in by a single mother, Jennifer Ryan, who plans to adopt him. Even better, Paul has become a promising musician despite his troubled upbringing.Connect with David & Stu: Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.Connect with David & Stu: • Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.The views expressed on air during David & Stu...

GTO Wizard - The best way to learn and practice GTO!Use this link to sign up: https://gtowizard.com/p/junglemanIn this episode, I sat down with Mateos Norian—better known as 2cardtito—a 23-year-old grinder living with his parents while chasing his poker dream. This guy's story is incredible. He started playing poker in his friends' basements during COVID, worked his way up from $0.01/$0.02 stakes, and now he's playing $20/$40 live games with a $90K bankroll. But it hasn't all been smooth sailing.We talked about his $50K downswing, the mental grind of poker, and why he believes bankroll management isn't one-size-fits-all (hot take: you don't need 100 buy-ins if you have income). Mateos also shared why he started creating poker content to show the emotional side of the game—the wins, the losses, and everything in between.This isn't just another poker story. Mateos has some crazy tales, from live turtles at the table to hunting down the best games in America. Whether you're grinding your way up or just love wild poker stories, this is one conversation you don't want to miss.Give 2cardtito a follow:IG: @2cardtitoYoutube: @2cardtitoJoin The JungleVerse and sharpen your skills in a community built for winners: https://enterthejungleverse.com/Here is what you can expect to here on this video:02:07 - Introduction of Mateos Norian (@2cardtito)07:02 - First Live Poker Experience10:41 - Bankroll Management and Moving Up Stakes12:43 - Taking a Break from Live Poker17:36 - Defining High Stakes Poker19:21 - Creating Poker Content and Transparency23:32 - Biggest Pot Ever Played29:19 - Bankroll Management Strategy Discussion31:18 - Playing Short Stack vs. Deep Stack35:10 - Best Places to Play Poker Worldwide38:00 - Private Games vs. Public Games42:20 - Craziest Casino Stories49:48 - Transparency in Poker Content Creation54:40 - Recovering from Major Downswings01:09:19 - Closing Thoughts and Guest PlugsFollow "Jungleman" Dan Cates:Instagram:@thedancatesX (Formerly Twitter): @junglemandanJoin Poker Academy today using this link: https://www.preflop.academy/?via=danJoin Poker Academy today using this link: https://www.preflop.academy/?via=danPoker strategy tipsPoker tournament highlightsPoker player profilesPoker player rankingsPoker coachingPoker mental game
Hi #AmWriters, Jess here. I've been wanting to do an episode on workbooks forever - on any form of companion text that pairs with nonfiction books, really. How do you propose them, write them, format them? You know me, I like the granular details. Fortunately, Ned Johnson and Dr. William Stixrud are publishing The Seven Principles for Raising a Self-Driven Child in March, and Ned was willing to come on the podcast and teach me all about the nuts and bolts of putting a workbook out into the world. This episode truly flattened my learning curve, and I hope it does the same for you.

Bitcoin's plunge to $93,224 triggered a massive $483M liquidation cascade, with Ethereum taking the biggest hit at $86M. But smart money isn't running scared - major buyers are stepping in with bids at $92-93K levels, while Fidelity Investments signals bullish sentiment heading into 2025's potential inflation wave. Meanwhile, crypto powerhouse A16z is betting big on the future, launching a Spring 2025 accelerator program offering minimum $500K investments to promising startups. Despite short-term bearish signals from notable traders Bluntz and Rekt, who eye a possible dip to $90K, Real Vision's Jamie Coutts remains optimistic about Bitcoin's six-month trajectory, citing upcoming Fed rate cuts and increasing interest from high-net-worth investors.
Let me introduce you to Kristina Gandre - a Data Driven, Marketing Obsessed, Entrepreneurship Nerd. After taking all the courses, downloading all the resources and hiring experts she found nothing helped to grow her Instagram. So she built a brand new framework designed to grow her Instagram and her business. She went from 2K to 90K followers on Instagram in 9 months and from making $400 a month to having my first $10K month. She started helping other business owners grow their Instagram and loved it. So, Sept. 25, 2023 I started a brand new Instagram from zero using the framework she built and hit 200K followers in 65 days. Four months later, she wrapped up a $62K launch and now spends her days teaching other business owners how to grow their Instagram for sales. Our conversation covers: - The difference between building an audience of followers vs buyers - How to attract buyers vs followers - What data to focus on to grow your audience - The different types of content you need to create to attract buyers and create a connection - The one thing that will override AI long-term - Being really clear on the problem you solve and how to create relatable content - What makes people click follow on social platfroms - Planning your content to reduce overwhelm and be more strategic Connect with Kristina here - https://kristinasocial.com/ Follow Kristina here - https://www.instagram.com/kristina.social/ WORK WITH CHRISTINE: Connect with Christine on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/christinecorcoran_coach/ Christine's website https://christinecorcoran.com.au/ FREE ACCESS - THE PROFITABLE OFFER FORMULA - Watch now FREE DOWNLOAD - Authentic Sales Scripts to Sell out your high ticket offers in Dm's and on calls.

(La entrevista se dio antes de que el Foro Judicial fallara a favor de los cabilderos que no quisieron rendir cuentas sobre sus estados financieros a pesar de ganar sobre $90K de la chequera del pueblo).
