— Something shifted in our generation. Many of us are not comfortable with the thought of moving our parents into institutionalized living, and we are moving back into the concept of multigenerational living as a means to provide physical and emotional support for our parents. Valeria interviews Pat Sheveland — the author of “Living Life in the Middle: The Caregiver's Guide to Healing, Hope, and Harmony through Multigenerational Living Patricia (Pat) Sheveland has been in the healing profession since she was in her teens. She became a Registered Nurse after high school, beginning her career caring for patients in the hospital setting and ultimately transitioning to a very successful twenty-five-year career as a corporate executive in the medical and claim management field of workers compensation. In 2012, Pat began the reinvention of her life to pursue her dream of being a life coach and was certified by the International Coaching Federation in 2015. Pat sees herself as a healing guide for mind, body, and spirit. She became certified as a Spring Forest Qigong teacher in 2017 and is a certified Funeral Celebrant serving those who are not affiliated with any religion or church. She also is a volunteer at Children's Grief Connection, a non-profit organization providing grief camps for children and their families in Minnesota and Wisconsin. As Pat stepped into her second half of life, she realized her soul purpose: to be a light for those who grieve. Since a very young age, Pat has been very comfortable holding the space of grief for others, especially with mothers who have experienced the death of a child. As a child born into a grieving family, Pat understands firsthand the impact long-term grief from the death of a child can have on a mother and the family as a whole. She began her journey as a coach for grieving mothers by helping her own mother find healing from sixty years of hidden grief after the death of her child. Since that time, many mothers have shared their stories and found purpose and joy in their lives with Pat's compassionate guidance.

Pat decided to approach each day pretending that she'd had a good night of sleep. She went about her days as normal and pursued enjoyable and enriching daytime activities, independently of how she slept. She also stopped talking about insomnia. Pat shifted her attention away from sleep and refused to allow sleep to control her life. She also stopped all attempts to control anxious thoughts and instead, chose to acknowledge and accept them. The final piece of the puzzle came when Pat was able to abandon all attempts to control her progress and was able to accept that sleep is something that cannot be controlled. As Pat discovered, if we can place less importance on sleep and refuse to allow sleep to control our lives, sleep often becomes a whole lot easier!

When Pat O'Day died August 4, I lost a great friend and the Pacific Northwest said goodbye to a genuine legend. Son Jeff O'Day wrote a fitting tribute to his father in a Facebook post: “The Pacific Northwest will always seem a little empty without the legendary Pat O'Day. All we can do is focus on the incredible role he had in making the Emerald City a better place to live, and the difference he made in people's lives.“ The son of a coal miner turned preacher, Pat was born in Norfolk, Nebraska, on September 24, 1934. When he was 7, his father accepted a job with a Tacoma church and soon landed a radio ministry show on Tacoma's KMO. “He didn't pound the pulpit, but he could move people emotionally,” O'Day remembered in a 2018 Seattle Times story. “I knew then that I wanted to be on the radio. Every night I'd go into the bathroom and practice announcing into the bathtub because it made my voice resonate.” While attending radio and TV school in Tacoma, Pat landed his first radio job as a studio engineer at KTAC. After spending three years at small-market stations, he made his Seattle debut on KAYO in 1959. A year later, O'Day moved to KJR, his favorite station growing up in Tacoma. Pat combined rock'n'roll music with the personality, drama and theatrics of pre-TV radio. He was promoted to program director of KJR and felt that all of his childhood dreams had come true. Pat O'Day owned the Seattle afternoon airwaves, averaging 35% of the radio audience. KJR moved into #1 in the ratings and stayed there for almost 15 years. Pat says, "Other stations would attempt to compete now and then, but we had the talent, we had the momentum and we had a tradition. We believed radio had to make people laugh, or cry. It needed to be perpetual motion." Pat was named the nation's top program director in 1964 and 1965, and “Radioman of the Year” in 1966. Pat began calling hydroplane races on KJR in 1967. That was the beginning of a 46 year stretch broadcasting the hydros on Seattle radio and TV. As Pat explains, "A hydroplane race is like a rock 'n' roll festival with Rolls-Royce engines instead of guitars. Young people were re-energized about the sport because their favorite radio station was right in the middle of it." O'Day & Associates staged teen dances all over the Pacific Northwest, showcasing local bands and touring acts like Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1967 Pat's dance business became Concerts West, staging shows for Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, Chicago, the Beach Boys, the Moody Blues, the Eagles, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Elton John, the Rolling Stones, and many others. After undergoing treatment at Schick Shadel Hospital in 1986, he became its radio and TV spokesman. Pat always said it was his second passion, and he loved talking about the thousands of lives Schick Shadel helped to save. In 1989, Pat moved to San Juan Island, where he operated a real estate brokerage. I'll always treasure visiting him in Friday Harbor, our lunches at Downriggers and the clam chowder in Roche Harbor! Pat O'Day was among a group of pioneer deejays honoured by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. It was the thrill of a lifetime to be there with Pat, Dick Biondi, Cousin Brucie and many others that day. A guest of honour on my final radio show in 2017, Pat was in vintage form. He regaled our audience with tales of Frank Sinatra's visit to KJR, falling victim to an elaborate Paul McCartney wedding prank, his role in the success of "Wooly Bully"... you can hear them all in my series "The Last Broadcast". In the closing moments of that last show, Pat left me with some advice that still resonates today: "We waste so much time saying 'no', and we accomplish nothing with the word 'no'. But the word 'yes' can open the doors to magic." Thanks, Pat O'Day, for opening the doors to so much magic - and for inviting us in to watch a true magician at work!

Cindy is halted by her father's minions he send her to him. Henry is reading Stargirls mind and knows it is Courtney. All this and more on the Afterbuzz Aftershow. Stay tuned.

  In this episode, I’m talking about Superfans for Catsitters. What are Superfans? They’re your most enthusiastic fans, the ones who know that their cats are in the best care with you. So how do superfans help your pet sitting business? A few years ago, when my cat sitting business was getting very busy, a client of mine told me about a lunch she had with two of her friends. They’re all cat lovers and the topic eventually turned to vacations. Then one of the ladies complained that she was having trouble finding someone she could trust to care for her beloved cats. My client piped up straight away saying she had the best cat sitter; one she uses all the time. The other friend said she used a cat sitter too. And that her cat sitter was fantastic and has taken excellent care of her cats for years. When the friend asked for the names of these two pet sitters so she could see for herself, they both came out with my name at the same time! It turns out that two of them were my clients and hadn’t known it until the moment. I discovered this when the new client told me the story. All three of these clients have gone on to send many other referrals my way, which leads to even more clients. This was my first experience with the power of superfans, clients that love the way you do business and care for their cats and can’t wait to tell the world about you. And if you have been in business for a while, I guarantee that you have these superfans amongst your clients, too. These hardcore superfans frequently refer your business to others, and they will defend you against unfair reviews and internet haters. They’re your immunity against the competition, setbacks in the economy and the whims of social media and search engine algorithms. In short, superfans sell your business for you. Every pet sitting business needs to attract them. While most of your superfans will come from the ranks of your most satisfied clients, superfans do not necessarily have to be your clients. They could be future clients or cat lovers who don’t travel or need a cat sitter but love your business brand and are happy to refer you to friends and family who do need a cat sitter. These are the people you want to stay highly engaged with. But how do you find and cultivate superfans? In the beginning, you may feel like you’re in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn’t there, but I’m going to give you some ideas on how to shed a little light on that room. I just finished reading a book by a popular podcaster and entrepreneur, Pat Flynn. You can find his book through my affiliate link below: Superfans: The Easy Way To Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, And Build A Successful Business. While Pat’s business is to help entrepreneurs build online businesses, his ideas easily apply to the pet sitting business as well. As I was reading the book, I realized that many of the concepts Pat is talking about, are spot on with things that happened in my own business. Pat’s experience with superfans can help you build a solid foundation under your business that will stand the test of time despite changes in the economy. The basic idea behind superfans can be visualized in the shape of a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid, you have causal fans, who know about you but don’t necessarily interact with you. The next section up is your active fans, these are people that know about you and actively participate in your social media platforms, such as making regular comments on your Facebook or Instagram posts. Moving up to the next level you have your connected community of active fans. These people are active fans that interact with each other as an interconnected group. Finally, at the very tip of the pyramid, you have a smaller group of superfans who are highly engaged with your social media platforms. They speak very highly of you and will defend you against unfair comments from random commentators. They’re also a rich source of referrals and glowing testimonials. I understand the concept of superfans, not only from having the privilege of experiencing them myself, but I am superfan, as well. I am a superfan of the local cat shelter in my community. Because I admire and appreciate the work they do for the cats where I live and work. I have volunteered for them, run fundraisers for them, wrote, produced and published their monthly newsletter. I’ve also been a strong defender of them when it came to fee for service funding from the city. Writing letters to the newspapers and helping them with press releases. I am one of their superfans for sure! I know that many of you are similar superfans of your own local shelters. The main reason, of course, is our love of animals and that we strongly support the quality care and treatment of animals. There are many types of brands that create superfans. Think when your favorite restaurant, veterinarian or musician gets an unfair review. Would you defend them? The same idea applies to your cat care business. And I’m going to share with you three concepts from Pat’s book and from my own experience with that can help you build your own group of superfans.   STEP ONE:   Get very clear about your client’s biggest fears. Now it may sound terrible to suggest focusing on negatives, but you can’t help someone if you have no idea what sort of issues they worry about when it comes to the care of their cats. They want to know they’ve found a business that understands them, that they can identify with and they can trust implicitly with their pets and their homes. As Pat says in the book, “you don’t need to change the entire world to build a successful business; you just need to change someone’s world”. Imagine giving a senior lady the peace of mind she needs to finally take a vacation knowing her cat is loved and cared for. That’s an amazing gift to give someone. Show potential clients how you can add value to their lives. People become your superfan because of how you make them feel. No one buys a Harley Davidson because it’s a motorbike that gets them around town. They buy it because of how owning a Harley makes them feel. In the book, Pat talks about the “superfan journey” and as cat sitters, we need to keep this in mind. Starting with the people at the base of your audience pyramid who’ve found you in some random way. Maybe a local ad or seeing the signage on your vehicle driving around. I know from experience that many people know about you and follow you long before they actually reach out to hire you.   They may know of you, but they’re not loyal to you yet, so you want to find ways to keep them interested and thinking of you when they need cat care. Research the words and phrases that will “activate” these casual followers. The language that shows you get them. As Pat points out in Superfans, it's not enough to just know what your audience is concerned about, you also need to find out how they describe their concerns. Search Facebook groups. Type in “cat owners” or “cat-lovers” in the main search bar. There are tons of variations you can look up to find accounts about cats. Find some groups that seem to have large members and ask to join. Please do not spam any of these groups with your business information. Some groups may ban you if you do. And this exercise is just to gather information. Many of the people in the group will not be in your service area, anyway. Although, some might be depending on what group you are researching. Once you’re a member, you can hit the “search this group” field with something like “pet sitter”, or “cat sitter”. You should get lots of results of cat owners talking about their experience with cat sitters. Pay special attention to what concerns them when discussing cat sitters. Keep a notebook to write down these concerns in the language the cat owners are using. You’ll see loads of posts showing a struggle with trust among people asking about cat sitters. Your writing should reflect that you understand by showing how your business has addressed these concerns. Maybe you have a policy to send daily emails or text updates. One-on-one conversations are also a great place to get that language. Invite cat owners to contact you to find out what you do, no obligations, just a chat with you! Your openness to inquires can be expressed on your website and your social media. You never know who might use your services down the road, so be open to all questioners, even if what they think your business is about is incorrect. For instance, I’ve had many clients initially call me about boarding. I then explain what I do and why I look after cats in the comfort of their own home. They may say no thanks at first, but then call me a year or so later to give the service a try. And of course, they’re very happy with it afterward! Once you have a list of keywords and phrases your desired audience uses, then you can practice using those words and phrases in your website copy, your emails and other advertising.   STEP TWO:   Building a community of engaged followers around your brand. By adding elements of your personality that cat people can relate to, they will follow you and even eventually hire you. At the very least, they might recommend you to others who need cat care. Pat calls it “breaking the ice” by getting comfortable with injecting more personal stuff that will connect with your audience. This could include sharing your thoughts about a good book you’re reading, or a movie you love. Try to avoid controversy, though. This is your business after all. Use your own cats in your social media posts. Post pictures and snippets of funny stories. When people respond to your posts, reply to them using their name. As you get deeper into pat’s book, you will see how important that is. Keep your audience involved by giving them quick wins such as posts about cat problems you’ve solved or inspiring stories you’ve encountered. Give your audience a challenge, like, teaching their cat to sit on a mat or other simple trick. Have them post it. Get the ball rolling with a video of one of your own cats performing an easy trick. Acknowledge everyone that participates with your post. Plan your posts and Facebook lives. They don’t have to be perfect, but you do have to know exactly what your goal is. For example, persuading your audience to post on your page. Create posts that convey what your audience will gain by using your cat care service. Peace of mind sitting on a tropical beach somewhere knowing that they’re returning to healthy happy cats and a safe secure home. The sharper you focus on this image, the more likely you’ll create a fan. You’re simply painting a picture of how they’ll benefit from working with you. Use testimonials that express the joy and relief your clients enjoy after using your service. How their time away was stress-free because you sent them pictures and updates. Remember, your audience is not buying your service, they’re buying how your service makes them feel; comforted, relieved, satisfied, etc. You’re looking for words that potential clients can relate to. Then weave those words into your writing on every platform. Cat owners often use different words than other pet owners. You want to look very closely at what those differences are. Your future clients are where your current clients were before they found you. So, collect stories of positive transformations from your current clients that will appeal to future clients. Ask your clients what it was like before and after they found you. Asking more specific questions like that will generate more words you can use. Ask if you can feature their story in a FB post, with or without names. Respond to everyone who comments on your posts and pages. If someone leaves a nice comment on your site or social media accounts, give them a shout out in a FB live or special post thanking them. Monitor all your social media channels for messages you haven’t responded to yet. Have a system in place to regularly check them at a specific time of day or day of the week. When your audience sees that you respond to others, they’re more likely to engage, too. They need to see that the path to reach you is easy. Brainstorm some questions that will keep your active audience engaged. For example, “How did you introduce your new cat to your resident cat?”, “Did you experience any problems?” Encourage followers to post pictures and stories of their cats on your page. The more engagement you generate, the more you will be rewarded by getting your page seen. Some questions you might post could be: “What breed is this?” accompanied by a photo of an exotic cat. “What would you do if your cat did this….?”  “Does your cat meow at the top of his lungs in the middle of the night?   Another popular idea is to post a funny cat photo with the challenge: “Caption this!” Be consistent with the schedule of posts so people know what to expect from your page. Have weekly subject categories mapped out so people can go looking for them. Post and share with intention. What do you want your post to do for your audience? You have a fantastic cat sitting business, how do your posts reflect that? As Pat points out, people shout out answers while watching game shows like jeopardy. They do this even when no one can hear them because people love having the right answer. You can ask questions that people can easily find an answer to, like: “Who knows how many teeth an adult cat has?” Accompanied the question with a picture of a cat with his mouth wide open. Give lots of praise and encouragement for participation and remember to always use a person’s name. When you are replying to a post, the poster will get a notification that you replied to them. To make it more personal, I like to leave only the first name in the profile highlighted. It just feels better to see, “Hi Cathy” instead of “Hi Cathy Hamm”. Answer the question a few hours later and give praise to everyone who answered whether wrong or right. Ask for photos of their cat’s teeth. Use this human desire to share to generate more participation. On a side note, it’s important to establish what your rules of engagement will be. Considering the nature of our business, it should be family-friendly. Also, how do you expect your audience to treat one another? Will you discourage political or divisive content? How are the rules to be enforced? Are they posted clearly (i.e., pinned at the top of the page)? Is your page private? Or do people have to join? Private Facebook groups are the best way to ensure that you can manage what goes on in there. Public pages make it easy for anyone to participate but they need to be monitored closely for inappropriate comments and spam. No one can engage with you if they don’t know who you are. So be as transparent and approachable as possible. Let people know exactly what you do and that providing top quality service is your number one priority. Client confidentially is a must. Many pet sitters post pictures of themselves with their client’s cats on social media. That’s great! But make sure you’re not identifying their home in any way. Carefully check each photo or video before uploading. Make sure the cats are looking their best and happy in the post. There are lots of good tips for photographing cats online.  Practice how to get the best kinds of angles and lighting to avoid those ‘laser eyes’! Alternatively, you could post photos of your own cats or cats of family and friends. Show your audience the love and care you give them. This is an excellent idea because you have more control to perfect the photo conditions. Lighting, background, and props. Make your own cat your mascot. Your audience will get to know and love them.  You can’t get any more relatable to your cat-loving audience than that! There are other ways to show your reliability and dedication, too. This winter we saw daunting snowfalls. In winter, I’ll typically be shoveling my way out of driveways and side roads all over town. Get a few photos of your car out and about. In rain, snow, sleet and hail you go! Pat also suggests organizing special events for your audience. Such as an online workshop, maybe on basic cat grooming or a charity fundraiser for a cat shelter in your community. Be very responsive to all participants and single them out to thank them. If you’re worried about live video just remember, no one expects you to be perfect. But you do need to plan the message you want to convey. Start with a short and sweet tutorial. Create an online event for people to signup. Ask for questions in advance to cover during your call. Mention everyone who asked a question. Once you get the hang of doing these short calls, then you can move on to longer ones. Remember, this is about your community. What are they getting out of it? Another great suggestion Pat has is giving your community a name to make them feel they’re a part of a group. People who are part of a group feel more protective of that identity. Pat gives the example of the star trek series where fans are known as Trekkies. As a united group, these fans keep the brand going. Any name you come up with should be closely aligned with your business. Since my audience is mainly people who work in the cat care business, I see us as pro cat sitters. As pro cat sitters. We know what we do and why we do it. And as a group, we support each other and promote high-quality care for the cats in our care. I can’t think of a simpler and more accurate identity for our group. What potential names can you come up with for your group? People love to feel they are part of something special. Their own community. What’s the name of your town or business? Can you incorporate it into a group name?   STEP THREE:   Moving your connected, active fans to superfans of your business. Once you identify your active fans, let them shine. You could let them know how much you appreciate them by sending an unexpected message. Send a personalized video or audio you made just for them. To give an example of how this works, I recently went looking online for new houses for our move this year. I signed up to be notified when new listings become available in the area that I’m interested in. After signing up, the real estate agent sent me a personalized video using my name. He thanked me for signing up and wanted me to know that he’s available if I had any questions. The video showed him sitting at a table in his house and I think his dog was even in the background. The message was casual with absolutely no pressure at all. This gesture makes it much more likely that I’ll contact him when it comes time to buy. Listen to your active audience to discover what’s important to them. Remember their names and their cat’s names. Reach out when they post about the joys and grief that goes along with sharing their lives with beloved pets. Create special moments that let them know you value them. As Pat says, “In order to become someone’s ultimate favorite, you have to do the things other people aren’t doing”. It’s worth the extra time it takes to build a loyal and appreciative superfan. Plan your posts and strategies to create a strong connection with your audience. But this doesn’t mean you have to spend all your time online on it. Like you, I’m an active pet sitter. I know how busy it gets. What I’m suggesting is that you set aside a certain time of day where you’re specifically working on your ideas and connecting with your most active followers. Overtime, squeezing in a few minutes each day on this task will result in significant progress. During the busy pet sitting season let your audience know that you won't’ be as active as usual since you’ll be out caring for the kitties. Be genuine and true to your values and never forget that your fans, whether causal, active or superfans are human beings who need to be heard. In no time at all, you’ll see your active fans become superfans. Check out the book here Superfans. Another benefit of superfans, as Pat mentions, is that they could be a pool of potential employees down the road. They know what your standards and values are, and they share them. What experiences do you have with your followers? Can you identify individuals on each of these levels on your Facebook page or other social platforms?

Do you know how to turn obstacles into opportunities? My friend, mentor, and coach, Pat Rigsby excels in turning disadvantages into advantages. Pat joins us for our first interview on this episode of The Transformation Show. Pat has never shied away from a challenge. He came from a hard-working entrepreneurial family and began his career as the youngest college baseball coach in the country. He hadn’t intended on being an entrepreneur but discovered that there were many elements he learned from his coaching career that applied to entrepreneurship. Discover how Pat has learned how to turn obstacles into opportunities on this episode of The Transformation Show. Outline of This Episode [8:02] Welcome Pat Rigsby [9:15] Pat discusses his beginnings [15:35] How did he take the disadvantages and turn them into advantages? [23:41] He didn’t know where to go next after he left coaching [27:32] How did he grow his fitness business so huge? [38:50] Did he always know when to make the next transformation? [46:34] As he made his next transformation what were his fears? [53:54] He announced a new endeavor [56:18] What is his favorite thing he does now? [57:50] The rapid-fire questions How did Pat turn obstacles into opportunities? From the beginning of his career, Pat realized that he would have to either be better than everyone else or learn how to solve problems differently. As the youngest college baseball coach in the league, he knew he wasn’t going to be the best coach, so he would have to take a new approach to solve problems. Pat discovered that he was a natural at solving problems creatively. He took the obstacles that he faced and turned them into opportunities. How can you turn your disadvantages into advantages? Find out by listening to this episode of The Transformation Show. How did he grow his fitness business? After Pat’s coaching career ended unexpectedly he got a job in the fitness industry. Once again he was faced with problems and learned how to solve them creatively. Since Pat had never had any experience in sales he was faced with a disadvantage. But he turned his disadvantage into an advantage by doing things differently than everyone else. Selling and marketing turned into his strengths along with developing teams. As Pat’s success grew he was offered many different kinds of opportunities. He turned success into more success. Have you found that your success begets more success? The joy is in the journey Oftentimes when we are undergoing a transformation we feel that true happiness is just around the corner. We feel that when we reach our goal we will be truly happy. Pat has discovered that with all his success, that the goals we reach are just small milestones. Goals are a great way to get started on transformation, but the true joy is in the journey. If the journey is not making you happy, then perhaps you are on the wrong journey. Make the journey one that you enjoy, because although reaching the goal is fun, it is short-lived. Is there joy in your transformation journey? As Pat made his next transformation what were his fears? Even though Pat was working for himself he realized that he wasn’t happy. He was working all the time and didn’t have a chance to enjoy his family. He realized that he needed to choose his own happiness over his business. He knew he had to do things differently. Pat believed in himself and was able to draw confidence from his prior successes, but he was unsure of the next step. How could he create a business that he could enjoy? Pat didn’t want to teach his children that professional happiness and personal happiness were mutually exclusive.

Pat Flynn takes on the generalist approach in an increasingly “niche” world and explains why skill stacking – combining many diverse skills into one unique whole – is a better and more realistic approach. In this approach, it’s ok to get bored of just one interest and it’s also ok to not be the very best at any one thing. As Pat gears up to make his mark and take generalism to the next level, who should he focus his new approach on so that it can have the biggest influence and turn into a real movement? Tune in to find out and join in!   Teaser:  https://www.estierand.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Pat-Flynn-Teaser1.mp4 (https://www.estierand.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Pat-Flynn-Teaser1.mp4)   My Guest: Pat Flynn Pat Flynn is great at many things, not the best at any one and not afraid to say so. Writer, entrepreneur, musician and fitness & meditation try-hard, Pat runs multiple six- and seven-figure businesses around his various interests and skills.   Pivotal Moments: Focusing on the arts, writing, philosophy and music back in high school, Pat gained weight and wanted to fix that. Went into martial arts, got hooked and delved in to get as much skill and knowledge of fitness as he could. As he entered college, began a blog (now called Chronicles of Strength) which started attracting attention. Realized that although he wasn’t the best fitness guy in the world, his writing skill could compensate for that and he could still attract people, which sowed the seeds for Generalism. By 2008 Pat had a substantial audience and, wanting to turn them into customers, hired a coach who taught him about copywriting. Sold his first e-book using email marketing which brought in small cash, but he was blown away by the idea that he could bring in money by combining his various skills. From there he created various online information businesses including a membership site – Strong On, and higher-end, more expensive services – coaching, group coaching, one-off fitness challenges and various courses in addition to classes and courses in his physical studio.   The Advice: Skill-stacking is more powerful and more rewarding than specialization. In today’s world, you are better off being good to great, or at least fairly competent, in a few skills. You can then combine those skills to bring something unique to the world. Better to be different than better. There is a difference between having a lot of random skills and disparate interests, to having a connected skill set and a core brand that connects all your different aspects. Skill-stacking is about building a set of diverse skills that you combine to create one unique whole. A good generalist is a short-term specialist. If you want to get good at something, go totally into it until you have become good at it. Then you get bored and can move onto the next thing. The importance of a good coach cannot be underestimated, for at least two good reasons: You don’t know what you don’t know. A coach shows you what you are lacking and what skills you need to stack onto your pile. All success is a gradual removal of mistakes and a coach speeds up that process. Though coaches are expensive, the mistakes you make without them are much more expensive.   The Struggle: Pat wants to make his mark on the world and turn his idea of Generalism into a movement, but he is not sure where to go with it. Where, how and to whom should Pat be bringing his ideas to get people to think in a different way and be seriously influenced by Generalism? The Breakthrough: In order to make a movement, Pat needs three things: A movement needs an evangelist leader, so he needs to get up and preach. To change people’s lives, Generalism needs to hit people at the right time in their lives. Many entrepreneurs have gone too far and are already too deep into specialization to

From high school bands, to the musical dots connecting Pat to Grinspoon; a band that went on to sell over 250,000 albums and play alongside bands like Queen and Anthrax in New York. Pat's music career has been the kind of wild ride millions of young (and old) guitarists only dream of. As Pat gets ready to re-join Grinspoon for a string a national festival dates, he's secretly getting ready to hit the stage for his kid's school fundraiser in his hometown of Byron Bay; a show that will include local Rockstar dads like Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger), Pete Murray, Jon Farris (INXS) and Andrew Stockdale (Wolfmother). Instrumental is created and hosted by Amber Petty - sponsored by Yamaha Music Australia.

As Pat continues to distance himself in the overall standings, Pete remains optimistic about his picks heading into Week 9.This week's slate of games:Georgia (-6.5 ) vs. FloridaWisconsin (-5.5) at NorthwesternIowa (+6.5) at Penn StateWashington State (+3) at StanfordTexas (-3.5) at Oklahoma StatePlus, Pat and Pete give their “locks of the week.”Have a beer you'd like to recommend or a game you want them to pick in a future podcast?

Dog parks dystopia or utopia came about after Glenn had a small rant on social responsibilities and then Pat re-listened to the episode to correct a point on dog parks. As Pat has a local community dog park area that functions well, he felt the need to makes some valid contributions about how well good people and their dogs behave in some areas. Like everything, there are good and bad dog parks, so the important take home message is to ensure good research is conducted prior to taking your dog there and coming home with a bad experience. We unpack a few topics through this discussion and it goes around in a few different directions, however the modus operandi is always around being responsible and following a good duty of care when out in public with your dog.

MONSTER CITY: Murder, Music & Mayhem in Nashville’s Dark Age Bestselling true-crime author Michael Arntfield To most, Nashville, Tennessee is music’s most beloved city: the home for country’s biggest stars, concerts on every corner, and blissfully strolling down Lower Broadway in a colorful wake of flashing neon signs. But Music City - a haven for aspiring musicians and magnet for country lovers - has a dark side!! A deep history of serial killings! Now in the new book - MONSTER CITY: Murder, Music, and Mayhem in Nashville’s Dark Age - bestselling true crime author MICHAEL ARNTFIELD – describes the never-before-told true account of the serial killers who terrorized Nashville’s music scene for decades—and the cold-case Murder Squad determined to bring an end to their sadistic sprees. You might recognize Michael Arntfield - he is also the host and producer of a true-crime series airing on both the Oxygen Network and the Oprah Winfrey Network. MONSTER CITY: Murder, Music, and Mayhem in Nashville’s Dark Age (Little A; 9/04/18) is darkly nostalgic and hardboiled, exposing a city’s cultural history and a landmark work in popular criminology. It is a suspenseful and disturbing part-true crime, part-human interest story that will lead the reader through the “Fast Food Murders” and “Vandyland Murders,” permanently altering their view of Nashville. Enter Pat Postiglione: a displaced New Yorker and Vietnam vet who suddenly finds himself a home in the heart of Dixie just as Nashville is riding the wave of "New Country" and when serial killers are arriving in instantaneous succession – a deadly orchestra slicing its way to center stage at the Grand Old Opry. As Pat soon becomes one of Nashville’s best cold-case detectives, he secretly forms an elite team to end Nashville’s serial-killing spree, better known as the Murder Squad. With his savvy crew and unwavering dedication to solving each bloody and horrific crime, Pat eventually goes on to solve more cold cases and arrest more serial killers than any cop currently living. From Vanderbilt University to dive bars and out-of-the-way motels, Postiglione followed the bloody tracks of these ever-escalating crimes—each enacted by a different psychopath with the same intent: to murder without motive or remorse. But of all the investigations, of all the monsters Postiglione chased, few were as chilling, or as game changing, as the Rest Stop Killer: a homicidal trucker who turned the interstates into hi

Pat and her family were looking for a weekend getaway from Los Angeles. A newspaper ad for an adobe home on 22 acres with a well and chickens put them on the road to 29Palms.  Shortly after settling in, in the 1970's, the adobe house needed repairs. This took Pat to the local library for some information where she was referred to Ted Hayes, the first teacher and principal in 29 Palms. There began Pat's immersion into the repair of adobe and the history of 29 Palms.   In this episode, Pat talks about her first desert trips to Las Vegas and Palm Springs and about the formula for adobe. As Pat spent more time in the desert, enjoying the clear air and wide open spaces, she became a tour guide at Keys Ranch in Joshua Tree National Park and eventually transcribing some oral history that had been recorded and archived at the local library. From these experiences, Pat wrote her book, "The Adobes of Twentynine Palms".  She and her husband, Sid, made their life in the desert permanent in 1988.   Pat shares that while listening to the accounts of the homesteaders, one thing that stood out was their pragmatism and humbleness - they didn't complain about how hard things were, how little they had or how far they had to go to get anything. They seemed to just accept life as it was and found enjoyment in what was; it seems Pat was cut from similar cloth.  

With Pat Coleman in the midwest and Keith McMillan on the east coast, our podcasters don't often have the opportunity to meet in person and record an interview, let alone an entire podcast, but that's what happened this time. As Pat traveled across the country in May, he chatted with Illinois Wesleyan coach Norm Eash and Westminster (Pa.) coach Scott Benzel, and then Pat and Keith met in Washington, D.C., where they both chatted with Catholic U. coach Mike Gutelius. They then barricaded themselves in his office to finish the rest of the recording.  This month's podcast is about keeping alumni connected to the program, and how older alumni can do that even when the traditions and stadium and coach have changed. Plus, Eash talks about the values of an overseas trip for a team, as well as a destination coaches should consider. That and more on the May 2018 podcast.

Pat Roche: Get In the Game  Pat Roche is never one to shy away from a challenge. In college, she took on four internships—back when internships weren’t even a thing. By age 24, she founded her own company, Business Boomers, which helps business professionals find success through marketing, promotions and events. And eventually she found a very interesting niche—Golf For Business Bootcamps. These training courses cover everything from learning golf etiquette, to volunteering at golf events, to making connections on the course. Pat has found a unique career helping people feel comfortable around a sport that affords opportunities to not only make business connections, but also raise money for charity.  From a birdie to a bogie, Pat makes it her mission to teach the fundamentals of golf. Like etiquette at a dinner party, the game of golf requires certain manners that can help golfers not only enjoy the game for the sportsmanship, but also for the potential business connections they can make on the links. As Pat says, it’s about learning to be comfortable in the country club and on the course. It’s also about setting a foundation of credibility on the course that can get people interested in the game and also help them in the business world. Remember that it’s never too late to learn something new. Reinvent yourself!  For more information about Pat’s services, contact her by email at pat@thebusinessboomer.com, phone at (973) 809-4445, Facebook under “Business Boomers”, or on her website at thebusinessboomer.com.  Join us next week on Women Rocking Wall Street when communication expert Erin Donley shares with us how women can communicate with boldness and thoughtfulness.  Also coming up March 9 is the Women in Pensions Network (WiPN) Networking Event in San Francisco, where I’ll be presenting “Surviving in a Wired World.” Check back soon for a registration link!    

In this podcast, an interview with Pat Mc Ardle, founder of Mc Ardle Associates, Marketing Consultants who specialise in helping professional services firms with their marketing activities.

As Pat says in the interview, there is demand out there, but companies need to know how to tap into it.
