Imagine my surprise when I showed up to watch The Famous Online Casting Panel at VO Atlanta recently and found Jay O'Connor, the Interim CEO of Voices.com sitting on stage preparing to take questions. The panel did NOT disappoint. Thank you, J. Michael Collins for organizing it, and the Anna Collins for making it a part of the VO Atlanta lineup. A lot of voice actors have some pretty strong feelings about Voices[dot]com (myself included), and most of those feelings are not positive. Previous management seemingly did everything humanly possible to alienate the voice over community... their very customers... through unethical business practices. Many top talent abandoned the site, and representatives from Voices[dot]com were basically ousted from participating in industry events. Is that about to change? I'll confidently say, a first step has been taken. In this episode, I share a few thoughts and takeaways from the panel, along with a cautious optimism for changes to come that started with an apology to the community from the CEO.

Thank you for listening to the podcast across our first 2 series, we hope you've enjoyed the insights.
For farmers, diversifying their income by moving away from traditional farming helps to reduce business risk and maximise returns. Land or roof space can be used for renewable energy generation, while old sheds can be used for residential or commercial space. Inflation is creating a huge amount of risk for farming, and rural businesses. Diversification is a way to offset that risk. Traditionally, one of the key barriers to entry into new enterprises is accessibility to funds. On the podcast today: James Thompson, Surveyor at Fisher German, hosts a discussion with Anna Collins, Partner at Fisher German, and Joanne Lampkowski, Regional Agricultural Manager at AMC, to analyse how these barriers can be overcome, why it's so important to diversify, how the focus on sustainability can help landowners, and identify the methods for financing and planning. They look at the societal trends that influence diversification and detail the advice that landowners should seek before undertaking this life-changing decision.

Just a few short months ago, we thought we would be saying goodbye to VO Atlanta for good. The voiceover conference that has been a safe place to learn about the business, connect with others and recharge our spirits to become better artists was believed to be shutting its doors for the last time in 2022. Luckily for us however, fate decided to take a different turn! We are beyond excited to have Anna Collins with us today to tell us all of the good things coming our way for VO Atlanta 2023! There are a lot of great things in the works and we are excited to share the details with you first, right here on The Middle Class VO Podcast!

Have you ever heard the saying that "you will know it when you see it?" If you were to ask me how I can tell who will make it as an entrepreneur, that is probably the answer that I would receive. Sometimes you know what you know. In the case of our guest today, Anna Collins, this is a young lady who will make it as an entrepreneur if she chooses to be one. How do I know this? It is all about looking at the actions that she has already taken and realizing that people who are not serious about an enterprise do not do what she has. Anna loves horses, and she is determined to have her own business teaching others to ride and training. That sentence is not unique to Anna. You could make the same statement about many people who love horses and want to turn it into a full-time living. However, you could find countless people who have given up on that dream because they didn't have a farm or facilities or because there was too much liability. None of this has stopped Anna. In high school, Anna is already teaching people to ride and training horses, and she is doing it on another family's farm and in their facilities. I could not interview them about why they allow Anna to do this, but I think it is highly likely that they saw the same drive and dedication in Anna that I did, and they wanted to help her achieve her dream. So, even though Anna did not have a proper facility, she did not allow that to stop her, and she is underway. Putting other people's children on horseback and teaching them to ride is filled with potential liability. This is the type of issue in which you would expect a parent to step in and slow a high school student down to keep them from getting themselves or the property owners into hot water in a business like this. However, as I interviewed Anna, she had the correct answer to everything regarding civil liability. She is knowledgeable about business structures, waivers, insurance, etc. It is the fact that she has done the research, learned all about the business, and made the arrangements to shield everyone from liability that shows show clearly how devoted she is. People who are just talking don't go to the headache of learning what an LLC is. They don't scour the internet, finding the correct liability waiver for their particular business, but Anna did.

Los bootcamps ofrecen una puerta de entrada al desarrollo de forma exprés. ¿Es esto cierto? No se puede salir preparado para el mundo real después de un bootcamp de 6 meses. Pero ¿acaso la universidad te prepara para el reto laboral? Hay quien reparte carnets de desarrollador y habla de intrusismo. ¿Será que ven peligrar su statu quo? Invitamos a Anna Collins (https://github.com/annacollins85) a que nos explique su experiencia con un bootcamp. ¿Cómo te ayudó a entrar al mundo del desarrollo? ¿Encontraste muchas reticencias? ¿Es para todos o seguimos siendo unos privilegiados?

We're joined by former Amazon, Microsoft and Bulletproof executive Anna Collins to discuss how high-performance organizations structure their hiring and interview processes. Whether you're a small startup or a big public company, as Anna puts it, there is no more important question than who you put "on your bus". Anna distills what she's learned across 20+ years and making thousands of hires into actionable, must-listen advice for anyone aiming to grow their organization in a high-performance manner (or on the other side, anyone looking to join a high-performance company!).

If you have chaos, that is the opposite of having the ability to connect and having a good candidate experience. It's all about being human and you need the structure to facilitate that and to be productive.” – Anna Collins Be sure to follow the Acquired Podcast: Acquired.fm @AcquiredFM Let People Know You're An LP on Twitter!

In this episode, we talk to Anna Collins, founder and owner of White Flag. I can't wait for you to hear the conversation with Anna because her story is so powerful. When she shares the story behind White Flag, I got the chills and maybe even a little teary eyed. It's a good one. She also even shares her own personal story of surrender - carrying shame, being a single mother, and even her marriage - which is not something we often talk openly about in the church. I'm amazed by Anna's vulnerability and desire glorify God in every season and bless others. To me Anna is someone who lives out the call to love your neighbor, and I hope that as you hear this conversation, you remember that God is bigger than all circumstances. * GIVEAWAY * To help remind us all of God's victory, we are doing a White Flag giveaway and someone can win their very own White Flag!
