Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew waite

Toni is joined by Andrew Waite who has spent most of his working life focused on adult education and chairing organizations like Mencap. For 30+ years he´s worked tirelessly for diversity and inclusion and now runs three community interest organizations all of which are having a significant positive impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS People in the LGBQT community still suffer a lot of bias. Most of which is subliminal or unconscious, but still harms the person subjected to it. Most companies are still not doing enough about diversity. Many jump on the bandwagon of inclusion events for social media purposes. Recruit properly, never employ someone or accept a volunteer because you are desperate. You have to know your clients to truly provide them with what they need. Lots of people taking lots of small steps is a highly effective way to make true change. When setting up a business you need to be realistic about how fast it will grow. In year 1 Andrew´s turnover was only £800. Not having a board or trustees to run everything past can make it easier to get things done, which is a benefit of setting up your own business. BEST MOMENTS “Pride is a protest. It's just actually turned into more of a celebration these days. “ “You have to stick to your principles … then you've got the respect of the community you want to work with. “ “Our job is to be wise on how we're spending our money because we do make a difference depending on where we put our money.” Andrew Waite Bio Andrew Waite is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in education and community work across various sectors. He began his career in private sector training and later established SureStart Children's Centres for Westminster Council. After founding a charity to deliver adult training and childcare, Andrew became Chief Executive of a Mencap charity and Chair of Trustees for Barnet Mencap. He later founded Impactful Governance, a consultancy supporting charities, which led to the creation of two more organizations: Impactful Futures, focusing on environmental projects, and Impactful Lives, addressing LGBTQ+ issues and social change. www.ig-cic.org.uk            www.il-org.uk    WORK WITH ME If you're ready for greater clarity and confidence to create the freedom and alignment, you crave in business and life.

It’s episode 165 of Adobe & Teardrops! Thanks for sticking with me!   Well, everything is coming up Rachel this week. I’ve been on spring break. I joined a fantasy baseball league. I joined a queer softball league. Opening day is in less than an hour as I record this. We might be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment in the same building. Oh yeah -- things are good. Also, an interview with Hey, King!   Album of the Week: Hope Dunbar -- Sweetheartland   Hope Dunbar’s Sweetheartland. This is the kind of music I’ve been looking for since I started Adobe & Teardrops. Dunbar has an awesome heartland rock sound while staying true to herself, something that, frankly, I haven’t seen many women who go for that sound really succeed at. She’s a great storyteller, which we’ll hear on “What Were You Thinking,” and can really pull out the stops with “Evacuate,” which Patreon subscribers will hear.

Orginally aired as CW 117 “For far too long, too many people have regarded home ownership as ‘a good thing.' It is certainly true that home ownership has its benefits. But, like everything else, it also has its costs and its risks.” This statement by Creating Wealth Show guest, American economist Thomas Sowell has been regretfully muttered by many homeowners in various forms over the past two years. Sowell is currently a senior fellow with The Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In 1990, he won the Francis Boyer Award, presented by the American Enterprise Institute. In 2002 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal for prolific scholarship melding history, economics, and political science. Known for his economically laissez-faire perspective style while writing, Sowell's latest book, The Housing Boom and Bust, shows how Democrats and Republicans ruined both the housing and financial markets. Tune in as your host, Jason Hartman and Thomas Sowell discuss how “the current economic crisis grew out of policies based on good intentions and mushy thinking.” Upcoming Shows will feature: Andrew Waite, Publisher of Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine and Dan Blacharski, author of The Part-Time Real Estate Investor: How to Generate Huge Profits While Keeping Your Day Job.
