This week on Getting Rich Together, I had the honor of sitting down with the amazing Annie Evans of Dream Ventures to dive into her life and experiences in angel investing, her entrepreneurial aspirations, parenting with a wealth-conscious mindset, and more.   Annie shares her beginnings as an aspiring entrepreneur, inspired by her parents' small businesses, to now being a leader empowering women in the investment world. We talk about her early money experiences, the pivotal roles of her family, and the transformative power of community and networking among female investors.    Annie also opens up about how motherhood has influenced her values around money and investing, and she discusses her future vision for women in angel investing. Her ultimate mantra in life is “We rise by lifting others.” And she's certainly done that by using her capital and influence to invest in other women while seeking out new areas where she can make an even bigger impact.  Key Topics: Annie's early aspirations as an entrepreneur The transition from corporate life to angel investing How Annie made her first angel investment The founding story of Dream Ventures Key focus areas for Dream Ventures investments The importance of teaching children about money and entrepreneurship Annie's approach to building a community of women investors The impact of Dream Ventures' accelerator program on female founders Annie's vision for the future of women-led investing How Annie defines wealth and success The changing perspective on material possessions versus investing Annie's life philosophy and its influence on her business approach Connect with Annie online:   Website: https://www.dreamventures.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annierevans/ Instagram: @dreamventures.co Email: annie@dreamventures.co Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://scalingretail.com/, https://syamabunten.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/scalingretailconsulting

Canada's Catholic Bishops say they'll give thirty million dollars to help survivors of the residential school system. We get reaction from Cora McGuire-Cyrette, executive director of the Ontario Native Women's Association.

She might still be living alone in the woods if she hadn't found support.  That's what podcast guest Annie Evans says, and host Rebeccah Silence agrees. In their discussion about the concepts of Breakdown and Breakthrough, Annie describes the feeling of being sad, stuck, and alone. She remembers a time when good days felt like an anomaly.    After doing the work she did with Rebeccah, she reinvented herself and reclaimed life on her own terms.  She admits it was scary and took a long time. But, at the same time, the more she did to move forward to Breakthrough, the more she was happy. That would spur her on!  Even though Annie's marriage was on the rocks, she knew she could not rush to dissolving it.  It was important to her to have a trauma-free divorce, and she knew she had to do things on her own timeline.  She kept moving forward, listening to herself and having faith in the outcome.  She's learned that it's about changing and pivoting when you realize you're not living the life you want. Setting solid boundaries is important… If it's not a Hell Yeah!, it's a NO.  It has to be a WIN/WIN for both parties.  It comes down to listening to your inner voice and doing the work. Because she avoided listening to herself, she felt like she remained in Breakdown for years… sad and hopeless.  Since she's learned to welcome the Breakdown and developed the ability to work through them quickly, she's also living her best life.  Happy in love, running her business, and living on the farm.  Her advice for those listening… DO NOT SETTLE!  If you'd like to learn more about Annie Evans, visit her website.

There's an old saying...one person's weed...is another person's flower. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is asking Canadians to hold back on mowing their lawns for a while. Next month a group called Asist-NL will be training people in suicide intervention protocols in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Gerry Dooley is with the organization and he talks about the training plus some best practices to help someone who is struggling. A warning to listeners that Dooley talks in detail about suicide. Author Andrea Procter speaks with us about her book 'A Long Journey: Residential Schools in Labrador and Newfoundland' which has received an Atlantic Book Award for scholarly writing, among many other accolades. We also speak with Annie Evans of Makkovik, who was one of those who shared her account of residential schools back in April of 2018. The family of the late Ryan (Ernie) Nuke of Sheshatshiu says it's been a long nine months of waiting as the RCMP have finally laid charges in the hit-and-run that led to his death last August. Herman Montague, Nuke's uncle, shared what these charges mean for the family. The price of iron ore has hit an all-time high....Paul Gray is the vice-president of iron ore markets for Wood Mackenzie, a global researching company, and he discusses what he is seeing and how Labrador fits into that. What do high oil prices look like right here in the province? Michael Furlong, president of USW Local 5795, says it's an exciting time in the industry. This construction season in Makkovik will see a continuation of a 20- lot subdivision plus a new playground. AngajukKak Barry Andersen speaks to the plans. Meanwhile Postville Inuit Community Government is working to keep its landfill free of recyclables by recently voting on a recycling program. We reached out to AngajukKâk Glenn Sheppard. Finally, mass vaccination and home testing to slow and hopefully stop the spread of Covid-19? To tell us what's available and how this might work, Dr. Peter Lin chats with us!

From everyday challenges to traumatic events, we all face anguish, adversity, and other stresses. But in the post-COVID era, it's a whole new ballgame with even more obstacles and much more uncertainty. Author and self-help coach Annie Evans came on the program to talk about how our mental and physical well being is still at risk, our jobs and "normal" lifestyles have been compromised, and coming out on the other side has everything to do with proper mindset.

September is National Newborn Awareness Month:  Passionate about helping families find good quality healthcare that transcends cultural and language barriers, Annie Evans works to creatively engage different stakeholders in Expecting Health's programs through outreach efforts, development of practical tools, and monitoring of impact for quality improvement. She focuses mostly on our online engagement initiatives from both a technical and conceptual perspective.    Annie currently manages the Newborn Screening Family Education Program which created Navigate Newborn Screening, the free, online educational module for families.  Annie received a Master of Public Health from George Washington University.   Susan Mays lives in Mukilteo Washington with her husband and two children. She is a passionate advocate for Newborn Screening after their life got flipped upside down when her oldest daughter was born with a rare metabolic disorder. After an uneventful pregnancy and delivery they couldn't wait to start their lives as a family of 3. Then 2 weeks later came the call which would change lives forever.  Indie, Susan's daughter, had tested positive for a life threatening metabolic disorder which was thankfully caught during a routine public health program called Newborn Screening. Without this early detection and diagnosis, Indie's condition is lethal. Because of it, treatment and management was able to be started right away and Indie is having the opportunity to grow and develop typically. Susan believes every baby born in the U.S. deserves this same privilege and because of this she advocates for NBS in a variety of ways. One of which is volunteering with the Expecting Health team and is an ambassador for the Navigate Newborn Screening Program.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helpful Links:    Baby's First Test Expecting Health Navigate Newborn Screening Oklahoma Family Network Expecting Health Contact: info@expectinghealth.org

Overcoming Life Challenges and Difficult Times-Time for a Fall Friendship Cleanse-Annie Evans Overcoming Obstacles Motivational Life Challenges and Difficult Times https://setyoursails.com/ https://www.intrinsicmotivation.life/ We all have them – friends (or family) who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything and everything, and make us feel small and undeserving. Well, it's time to call them out on their negativity, start a dialog and if that doesn't work, take a break or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans believes that if you don't deal with them, there's a really good chance you'll turn out just like them. Evans personally knows how negativity breeds negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges, she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her startling story, and help listeners learn real strategies to change their mindsets, interactions and take charge of their attitudes. #overcominglifechallenges #overcominglifechallengesquotes #overcominglifechallengesessay #overcominglifechallengesanddifficulttimes #overcominglifechallengessermon #overcominglifechallengespoems --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/intrinsic-motivation/support
