Guest: Dr. Telisha Roberts, Founder and President of Creative IntentionsHost: Rushion McDonaldTopic: Career development, leadership growth, entrepreneurship, workforce readiness, and navigating today's changing job market. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the conversation was to help students, early-career professionals, corporate employees, and aspiring entrepreneurs understand how to successfully navigate career transitions and professional growth. Dr. Roberts shared insights from her 26-year corporate career and explained how Creative Intentions helps individuals bridge the gap between potential and achievement. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] The interview focused on preparing people for workplace success, leadership roles, entrepreneurship, and adapting to economic uncertainty, layoffs, and artificial intelligence-driven workforce changes. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Key Takeaways 1. Success Requires More Than Opportunity Dr. Roberts emphasized that securing a job, internship, or promotion is only the beginning. What determines long-term success is how effectively individuals navigate and perform once they enter those opportunities. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Getting the opportunity and succeeding in it are two different challenges. 2. Always Have a Plan One of the strongest themes throughout the interview was intentional planning. Roberts shared that before leaving her 26-year corporate career, she spent roughly a year preparing and developing a plan to ensure a successful transition. She encourages others to proactively prepare for career changes instead of reacting after a crisis occurs. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Faith, passion, and ambition should always be supported by a structured plan. 3. Career Development Is a Lifelong Process Creative Intentions supports: College juniors and seniors Early-career professionals Managers and executives Entrepreneurs Small business owners Roberts believes individuals need guidance at every stage of professional growth. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Professional development does not stop after graduation. 4. Hard Work Alone Does Not Guarantee Promotion One of the most discussed topics in the interview was the misconception that simply working hard will automatically lead to advancement. Roberts explained that employees must learn how to communicate their value, connect their accomplishments to organizational goals, and demonstrate strategic impact. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Visibility, communication, and strategic alignment are as important as effort. 5. Tell Your Own Story According to Roberts, many talented professionals fail to advance because they expect others to recognize their contributions automatically. She stresses that employees must be capable of: Articulating their value Demonstrating impact Understanding organizational priorities Forecasting future needs [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: If you cannot explain your value, others may overlook it. 6. Mentorship Can Change Lives The creation of Creative Intentions was inspired by a young intern Roberts mentored who did not receive a job offer after her internship. The experience deeply affected Roberts and motivated her to create an organization dedicated to helping people gain the skills and support necessary for career success. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Investing in people can have a lasting impact on their lives and careers. 7. Success Has No Easy Path Roberts repeatedly emphasized that whether someone pursues corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, content creation, or business ownership, all meaningful success requires discipline and hard work. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: There are no shortcuts to sustainable success. 8. Every Person Requires an Individualized Approach Unlike many coaching and training programs, Roberts believes there is no one-size-fits-all method for development. Her team uses assessments and personalized coaching to understand an individual's strengths, preferences, experiences, and leadership potential. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective development starts with understanding the individual. 9. Confidence Often Comes Through Investment and Support Many people struggle because they do not recognize their own potential. Roberts noted that some individuals have never been encouraged to explore their gifts or strengths. Her work focuses on helping people discover abilities they may not yet see in themselves. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Confidence is often built through mentorship, support, and self-discovery. 10. AI and Workforce Disruption Are Real Challenges Roberts directly addressed concerns about artificial intelligence and layoffs. She acknowledged that organizations are reallocating resources toward AI and that competition for jobs has intensified. However, she encourages professionals to remain proactive, strategic, and adaptable rather than fearful. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Career resilience requires strategy, adaptability, and continuous learning. 11. Stay Calm During Uncertainty A defining characteristic of Roberts' leadership philosophy is maintaining composure under pressure. She shared examples from both her corporate career and personal life to illustrate the importance of responding to challenges with clarity and purpose rather than panic. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective leaders remain calm while taking decisive action. Notable Quotes On Career Preparation "It's one thing to get the role, get the internship, get that opportunity. But it's another thing to actually be successful when you get there." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Planning "You got to have that plan." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Career Advancement "Being the hardest worker in the room will not get you promoted." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Professional Visibility "If you cannot properly articulate your value to an organization... you are going to be quietly lost." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Personal Branding "You have to learn how to tell your own story. No one is going to tell your story for you."

[Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Personal Growth "Someone took the time to invest in me." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On AI and Job Market Challenges "We have to learn how to be strategic. We have to learn how to get in front of the problem and be proactive instead of reactive." [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] On Leadership During Uncertainty "We need to calm down. We need to operate with as much information as we can and as much peace as we can."

https://thenewamerican.com/us/healthcare/schara-family-speaks-out-after-jury-sides-with-hospital-in-wrongful-death-suit/ Scott Schara's Suggested Family Protection Steps The following are recommendations Scott shared during the interview: 1. Develop a Relationship with an Independent Medical Professional - Find a doctor who does not rely on Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement systems. - Seek objective medical opinions whenever possible. 2. Take Personal Responsibility for Research - Don't rely solely on medical professionals. - Read, study, and understand diagnoses and treatment options yourself. 3. Have a Durable General Medical Power of Attorney - Designate someone you trust to make medical decisions if you cannot. - Ensure that person understands your wishes. 4. Create Written Medical Directives - Clearly state treatments, medications, procedures, or interventions you do or do not consent to. - Review and update regularly. 5. Understand Hospital Consent Forms - Read everything before signing. - Ask questions regarding consent, treatments, biologics, vaccinations, and procedures. 6. Avoid Passive Participation - Ask why a treatment is recommended. - Request alternatives and supporting evidence. 7. Never Assume the Hospital Is Automatically Acting in Your Best Interest - Maintain awareness. - Verify information. - Ask questions respectfully but confidently. 8. Always Have a Dedicated Advocate Present - Have a trusted family member present whenever possible. - Ensure they know your wishes and can communicate them clearly. 9.

The insurance industry often hires for pedigree: the right degree, the right school, and a polished background. But my guest, Misty Carson, proves that grit outperforms a resume every time. Her journey starts in extreme poverty in a trailer park, navigating life as a teen mom, and leads all the way to the top of the insurance game.In this episode, Misty shares the raw reality of how she went from surviving to thriving. We discuss how she translated the hustle of the car sales floor into insurance success, why non-traditional talent is the industry's biggest missed opportunity, and how she turned being "battle-tested" into her greatest competitive advantage. This is the story of what happens when you refuse to let your circumstances define your future.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) She Went From Poverty to Top Producer (00:00:56) The Origin Story: Escaping Poverty and Defying the Odds (00:07:06) The Turning Point: Learning to Bet on Yourself (00:09:34) How Selling Cars Prepared Her to Dominate Insurance (00:18:49) Why the Best Producers Don't Always Have "Perfect" Resumes (00:24:28) "Battle-Tested": Turning a Hard Past Into a Powerful BrandCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Always Have a Customer Update Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, it's important to show progress with customers. In each interaction with an investor, bring up new information about a customer. Investors care less about how the product works and more about how the customer is engaging with the product. In each update, show new information about the customer interaction. Here's a list of customer updates to consider: A list of care abouts from the customer for a solution. A product specification. The customer's test results of the startup's product. The startup's pitch to the customer to buy the product. The price negotiation for buying the product. The customer's buy rate and retention rate. The customer's comparison of the startup's product with a competitor's product. Additional features the customer wants from the product. How the product fits into the customer's workflow. Investors want to know how well the product works for the customer to understand product-market fit.  Always have a customer update when talking to an investor.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Nicole shares how she transitioned from saying "yes" to every opportunity to becoming intentional about the projects she takes on, the team she builds, and the way she manages her time.

In this wild episode, Denver and I dive into our travel adventures filled with unexpected twists and valuable life lessons. From Denver's dreamy yet disastrous trip to Australia—featuring koalas, chlamydia myths, and rental car struggles—to my questionable choices while backpacking through Europe, no stone is left unturned. Takeaways: Travel Builds Resilience: Whether it's losing a passport in Spain or dealing with canceled flights in Australia, travel forces you to think on your feet and stay calm under pressure. Koala Chlamydia is a Thing: Denver's zoo trip led to an unexpected deep dive into whether humans can contract chlamydia from koalas (spoiler alert: they can't…probably). Hostel Life is Not for the Weak: Andrea's experience in Amsterdam highlights the challenges (and questionable decisions) that come with budget travel. Airline Woes Are Universal: Denver's firsthand experience with canceled flights and unhelpful airline policies proves that air travel frustration knows no borders. Always Have a Backup Plan: Whether traveling solo or in a group, it's essential to have a plan for when things inevitably go wrong—because they will. — Want to Learn more about Denver Riley?

Don't fake it.” Romans 12:9 “We refuse to wear masks and play games.

EPISODE 114 | All Your Base Are Belong to Us – US Military Installations The United States spends more on their military than the next nine countries combined. With around 450 bases (or maybe 500 or maybe 750 or maybe 800 or even more) operating more than 111,000 installations in 80 or more countries, there's a lot to keep track of. In fact, no one is really sure how accurate those numbers are, since a lot of places are deemed classified or even top secret, and yes, cover stories have sometimes been deployed. Some of the things we do know about are pretty interesting and often sad or infuriating, depending on your outlook. And yet that's not enough for some folks, who feel the need to fill in the gaps with long, complicated conspiracy narratives that are better suited to novels than anywhere else.  Like what we do?

2023 is halfway done, which means it's time for our mid-year check-in! For this week's episode, grab a pen and paper because it's time for a self assessment. The five categories that I go over are not only meant to help you see where you can improve, but to help you realize all that you have actually accomplished! As much as I am development and success focused, I've also come to realize how important it is to celebrate your wins - you don't necessarily have to improve on every aspect of your life all the time. I also go over some effective tools that I have on standby and use to help improve and check in with my mental health.

What is the most important consideration when launching a podcast? This question was posed to me recently, and I thought my trifecta answer of your why, your ecosystem, and your plate was applicable to all podcasters–whether you are preparing for episode 1, 100, or 1,000 of your show. In order to be sure you are hitting your audience and content targets, you need to look at your show with fresh eyes every-so-often. And, that is what we are going to do today. I will explain the different sides of the all-important “why” question, breakdown the various pieces of your ecosystem, and help you figure out how much of your plate you can devote to your show moving forward. And, along the way, I reveal my thoughts on all three for myself, and how they impacted the changes you are going to experience with the future of this show. At the end of this episode, you will be able to orient (or, reorient) your podcast–just like I have–to hit its full potential! It's my next Podcasting 101 topic kicking off Season 3 for you today.

Episode 5: You Don't Always Have to Be Right | Releasing Righteousness & Perfectionism   This episode is an invitation to let go of the need to be ‘right' or ‘perfect', guiding those who have a tendency to put pressure on themselves or others to soften the reigns and move with the ever-changing flow of evolution and expansion that is infinite creation. This episode is your permission slip to stop thinking or feeling you need to be ‘further along', you need to be ‘complete', or experiencing a different reality to find peace, joy or fulfilment - particularly when it comes to your ascension or healing journey. It invites you to soften your approach to yourself and others to allow for humility, humour, acceptance and flexibility to shine through… to show up in the messy imperfection and human-ness of however you are in the present moment.   _______   If you've resonated with the messages shared in this episode or want to know more about the work that I do, head to www.becmylonas.com where you can access some potent free activations, masterclasses and healings and check out other podcasts I've co-created with.   Follow more of my free content or drop me a line if you want to get on touch over on Instagram www.instagram.com/becmylonas   Don't forget to like, subscribe, comment & share - your support to get these messages out to those who need to hear them means the world to me!

For some time now I've been ending each episode by encouraging you to spread a little relational sunshine with the people you meet. Today's episode gives you some examples of what this looks like. It will give you some ideas you can try out on your own. She got me when she called me “sweetheart” I'll begin with a story of relational sunshine that happened to me recently at the drive-through window of Wendy's. Not exactly a place I can say I've ever experienced the warm rays of relational sunshine before. It's usually been more a place of darkened skies with heavy fog rolling in. But this day was different. When I got to the window and paid my bill a middle-aged woman with black horned-rim glasses leaned out the window a bit, handed me my food, and said with a really big smile, “Here you go sweetheart. Now you go have a great rest of your day.” She got me the moment she called me “sweetheart.” I'm a sucker for any matronly middle-aged woman who calls me that. Those brief words of hers, together with her toothy smile were the relational sunshine that brightened my otherwise cloudy afternoon. Smile more A few days after this, I had a conversation with my granddaughter who turned 17 recently. She works part-time at Target and when I asked her how it was going she said, “My boss said he is happy with my work, but that I need to smile more with customers.” “It sounds like you have a good boss,” I said. Have you ever noticed how many teenagers work at Target? One of our grandsons also works there. I was thinking about this one day and how all these young faces unknowingly spread a little relational sunshine my way - even when they're not smiling. They don't have tattoos, nose rings, or purple hair, at least I haven't noticed anyone like this so far. It's not that I have anything against anyone who fits this profile. In fact, in episode 129 I talk about someone in her mid-20s who looks like this and how I apologized for scaring her. I described the scene as follows: She was wearing torn blue jean shorts, tattoos up and down both arms, a bare midriff with a ring in her navel, and another one in her nose. Her partially pink hair was in a bun on top of her head. I felt like I needed to represent old men who look down their noses at tattooed young women with rings in their noses. I didn't want her to think badly of us. If you're interested in how I unintentionally scared the girl, go to johncertalic.com/129 They'll be in charge some day Anyway, back to the teenagers who work at Target. There's an innocence about them that reminds me of my own part-time job from another century when I was in high school. It's where I found hope that my future was going to be better than my past. When I see those youthful faces stocking shelves and checking customers out at the cash register at Target it gives me a different kind of hope that somehow down the road we're all going to be okay because these kids will be in charge. I'm reminded they could all be at the beach right now, or in their bedrooms playing video games. But instead, they are giving up those pleasures to earn money that will help them take control of their lives. Relational sunshine at night More relational sunshine shone down on me at a recent baseball game I attended with my family. Like all major league baseball stadiums, ours here in Milwaukee requires fans to go through security before entering the ballpark. On this particular game night after I made it through to the other side, one of the security people said in the most sincerest of tones, and with a big smile on his face, “Enjoy the game!” He was an older man, probably retired, working a part-time job to pick up a few extra bucks. His countenance and persona in wishing me an enjoyable evening cast a few rays of relational sunshine my way. They left me smiling, too. I could tell he was sincere and enjoyed greeting people and wishing them well. These three examples of others spreading a little relational sunshine got me thinking about how I operate. I'm not an extrovert and usually don't talk to people I don't know. Unless they offer me candy, or a look at a cute little puppy in the back seat of their car. But in reflecting upon these stories I've recounted for you, and how complete strangers brightened my day, it made me think maybe I could do the same for someone else. I can do this, too My chance to do so happened one evening at the drive-through window of yet another fast-food place, Culver's, a nationwide hamburger and custard restaurant based in Wisconsin. It has a special place in my heart as two of our grandsons got their first part-time jobs here. The food isn't half-bad, and like Target, they hire clean-cut wholesome-looking kids - and grandma types. One of the things I appreciate about this chain is that they also hire young people with developmental disabilities, like those with Down's syndrome. Anyway, one evening I was in the drive-through line at Culver's and when I reached the cashier's window the teenage boy manning the window said “…your total is $19.39.” He paused briefly, then said, “That was a long time ago.” Admiring his sense of humor in juxtaposing the numbers of a cash transaction with a period of history, I responded with “Yeah, it was even before I was born.” Then, as I gave the boy a twenty-dollar bill for my order I asked, “Do you know what famous event occurred in 1939?” “I have no idea,” he said. “On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany marched into Poland, officially beginning World War II,” I replied. The boy smiled for the first time and chuckled as he gave me my change, and said, “Oh, I should have known that. I really like history.” We smiled at each other and then I drove off. By acknowledging his sense of humor and playing along with him, I realized I had spread a little relational sunshine in his life. And I had fun doing so. It sent a few of those relational sunshine rays back to me. So what does all this mean for YOU? I have a hunch there's more relational sunshine out there for all of us, if we just look for it, mostly in unexpected places. Lately for me, it's been at the window of the drive-through lane at fast-food restaurants. How about for you? I wonder what unexpected places in your life could be a source of relational sunshine for you. I also have this thought: you could be more than just a recipient of relational sunshine. You could be a source of it in unexpected ways, as I was with something as simple as bantering with a teenager at Culver's. With something as simple as smiling as someone. I know you can do this, and hope you give it a try. Intentionally smile at someone and see what happens. It might even land you a part-time job at Target. Here's the main takeaway I hope you remember from today's episode It seems that relational sunshine often starts with a smile. The simple act of smiling seems to penetrate the relational ozone separating us from each other. By spreading around a little relational sunshine we spark joy in others, and in ourselves as well. Closing In closing, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. And I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show, enough to put into practice what you've heard today.
