In this episode of Art of Online Business, we are tapping into a classic episode from last year. It's a conversation that I had with Jacquette Timmons on the topic of pricing, wealth building, and your relationship with money. When it originally aired, it was so well-received that I knew I had to share it again. Jacquette M. Timmons focuses on the human side of money. She works as a financial behaviorist and is committed to getting you to see that you don't manage money - you manage your choices around money.In addition to being an author ("Financial Intimacy: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Money and Your Mate”) and frequent blogger, Jacquette is also the creator of Pricing Made Human®. PMH is designed to help entrepreneurs and small business owners tackle the question, "What should I charge for this?," from all sides: the financial, the emotional, and the personal, so they can price more confidently, and strategically, and end up with a thriving business and thriving life. She also hosts The Comfort Circle™ - a dinner series where she hosts discussions about money, business, and life over food and wine - and the podcast, "More Than Money."Jacquette holds an MBA in finance from Fordham University's Graduate School of Business and an undergrad in marketing from the Fashion Institute of Technology. A combination she credits, in part, for being able to blend her analytical mind and creative spirit in service to help her clients shift how they look at money; how they perceive its role in their life; and how they give it direction. She lives in Brooklyn, NY, and can be seen running in Prospect Park most days of the week.In this episode, you'll learn:Identity-based views of wealthTips for pricing in your businessThings to think about when planning your revenuePlanning for the future How to get started with wealth buildingHow to learn more about stock market investingHow to change your money mindsetExpanding your view of what's possibleGetting outside the box with your revenue streamsLinks & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

Who says you can't have it all? The career, the love, the wealth—it can all be yours if you want it and work for it. Today's guest, Mackenzie Grate, works hard so she can have it all. Working full-time as an assistant middle school principal, Mackenzie spends her nights and weekends as a real estate investor and agent. She owns two single-family homes, a fourplex, a duplex, a short-term rental, and her primary residence. Mackenzie's real estate investing journey started in 2017. While living in her apartment, she rented out her extra room and decided to buy a home once rent prices became a little too high to handle. From there, she started looking for her first deal by googling the three fastest-growing job markets in New York. She then chose the market she wanted to invest in, asked a friend to go upstate with her, and started driving for dollars. She put in an offer on the first house she saw and closed on the home. But was she doing it alone?There is a common misconception that when you invest with a significant other, they have to be involved to be on board. Mackenzie's relationship with her husband proves that involvement doesn't equate to support. He supports what she's doing, but he isn't an active part of her investing journey, and for them, that works. He shows support by doing other everyday tasks at home, giving Mackenzie more time to work and pursue real estate. This freed-up time is essential for Mackenzie as she juggles all her endeavors and earns her nickname, the "Mack of All Trades."In This Episode We CoverThe pros and cons of getting your real estate license and how to determine whether becoming an agent is for youThe benefits of owning a co-op and what it means to “own a share” of a buildingHow to find and capitalize on emerging markets that have strong rental demandInvesting with a spouse and how to find the right balance for your relationshipProperty management vs. self-management and how to weigh the pros and cons for bothManaging a short-term rental and automating your processes to become the ultimate hostAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowAshley's InstagramTony's InstagramAirbnbBiggerPocketsReal Estate Rookie Facebook GroupThe Real Estate PodcastBiggerPockets ForumsReal Estate Rookie PodcastZoomRentRediDigital Nomad-ing and Answering All Your FIRE Healthcare Questions w/ Amy & Tim from GoWithLessConnect with Mackenzie:Mackenzie's InstagramMackenzies BiggerPockets ProfileMackenzie's WebsiteCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-227Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Modular homes don't have the same market sentiment that traditional housing does. For many people, the thought of building a home in a factory only comes with anxiety. Decades ago, modular homes were built using cheap materials with virtually zero energy efficiency. Now, thanks to companies like Vantem, you can buy modular homes almost indistinguishable from the one built on-site right next door. But, these two home builds operate on a much different budget.To go over all the fine details, Vantem's CEO, Chris Anderson, joins us in this episode. He started building factory-finished homes after seeing how inefficient the modern-day homebuilding process was. With the help of an expert team, Vantem dramatically reduced not only material but labor costs when building these almost indestructible, massively energy-efficient homes. But modular homes seem to be the gift that keeps on giving. Even with a cheaper sales price, homeowners and landlords can see ridiculous cost savings over the life of their investment, with energy costs hitting rock bottom and environmental efficiency being so high that it's almost unheard of. Whatever your preconceived notions were about modular homes, prepare to have them changed in this episode.In This Episode We CoverMassive time and cost savings from building modular vs. traditional homesEnergy efficiency and why Vantem's modular homes are net zero almost immediately after manufacturingThe evolution of modular homes and why today's builds beat regular rental properties Why lenders, local government, and insurance companies are so pro-modular home buildingHow factory-built homes stay almost indestructible against natural disasters And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelFind an Investor Friendly Agent in Your AreaDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramKathy's BiggerPockets ProfileKathy's InstagramBiggerPockets Podcast 593On The Market Podcast 29Learn More About Modular HomesWill 3D Printed Houses Solve the US Housing Crisis?What are the Differences Between Manufactured, Modular, and Mobile Homes?Connect with Chris:Chris' websiteCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-37Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Last September, when Eric and I started building Freewyld, our new short-term rental brand, we took over an existing Airbnb business—four cabins on three acres in Idyllwild, California. At that time, we took over the whole business, including the staff.But over time, we ran into some challenges working with the existing cleaning team.And then the challenges escalated. We realized the cleaning staff wasn't the right fit for our company; it was getting so bad that it was putting us in a hectic host position and affecting our bookings and reviews.It was time to make a change.On this edition of STR Conversations, Eric and I discuss why we decided to partner with a management company for Freewyld. We share the most frustrating parts that happened in our situation and walk you through the options we looked at when we decided to move on from the team we had in place.

Why do I church buildings look like they do? Are church buildings really even important? Can I just "be the church" all by myself? What about VR churches? These are just some of the questions and issues that arise on this episode of the podcast. Pastors John Nicholson and Josh Watford dive into the world of church architecture and how God has created us as physical beings.Show notes:The Church is a Building: Toward a Theology of Sacred Architecture: https://nojesuittricks.substack.com/p/the-church-is-a-buildingHow to Prepare for the Metaverse: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/prepare-metaverse/VR Church video: https://twitter.com/grcastleberry/status/1488580625124708357VR Church article: https://churchleaders.com/news/412960-craig-groeschel-vr-church-jesus.htmlCorrection: Pastor Josh mentioned a video of Walmart on the metaverse. While it is true Walmart is preparing to have a prominent presence on the metaverse, the video he mentioned was actually from 2017 and thus not an accurate representation of what the Walmart experience on the metaverse will be like.

“The moment we opened our doors, the project belonged to everybody else who's interacting with it. It's [now] about serving those people and their engagement with things. A lot of curation is also about listening and continuing to change your perspective and accept things that you didn't know or understand before you started on the journey you're on.” — Matthew James-Wilson, Heavy Manners LibraryImagine wanting to create a library and then building it from scratch. What books would you include? Why would you choose them? What would you leave out? How would you serve your community and respond to how they are reacting to your creation?These are the questions facing Matthew James-Wilson and Molly Soda of Heavy Manners Library, a new space in Los Angeles with a to-be-launched online component. The library seeks to archive and distribute self and independently published artists' books, zines, and  more. It's hoped that this will create a place where people without a formal art education can access that media outside of an institutional setting such as a university or a traditional library or gallery.This episode shows what it's like curating something from the ground up and how two creative people can collaborate to do what they do best while serving the project as a whole.  Highlights, inspiration and key learnings:Origins of the name “Heavy Manners Library”What makes the cut for the libraryHow they ensure the selection lives up to their missionFilling in the gapsHow the online membership will workCollaborating with your co-curatorHow to balance your tastes with what the community wantsWhat they hope people feel when they come into the spaceAdvice to artists on how to get noticedHow the NFT trend impacts what they're buildingHow they find inspiration and track ideasWhere to find up-and-coming artistsGenerational approaches to collectingMatthew and Molly's culture picks

Why am I not a fan of running as a form of exercise? Well, first, it depends on why you're running. Are you running because it clears your head, is meditative, makes you feel good and accomplished? Amazing, carry on. I don't want to discourage you from running if these are your reasons. But many pick up running because they want to improve their fitness, burn off what they ate, or lose weight. In this episode, I talk about why running isn't effective if those are your goals. Here's what we talk about in this episode: The mechanics of running, and why I prefer walking (alongside strength training) for joint health and muscle buildingHow too much running (or any cardio) can decrease muscle (and therefore, your metabolism)Why running to burn off what you ate isn't effectiveHow and why to incorporate strength training if you still want to run I know this is a hot topic, but it's been highly requested; I'm finally feeling brave enough to talk candidly about my opinion. However, I never want to make anyone feel guilty for moving in ways that feel best for THEIR body. Only hear to spread the knowledge I've learned.3:34  How to incorporate running into your workouts6:00  Why running is not effective for weight loss 12:08  Calorie burn from running 15:01  Emptying your glycogen stores   18:00  Guilt driven exercise 19:03  Why burning more calories during a workout is not a good thing 20:54  Running can cause spikes in hunger 22:11  How too much running can inhibit your strength training effortsTry 7 Evlo classes for free: https://www.evlo-fitness.com/free-week-of-evlo-podcastFollow Dr. Shannon on Instagram: @dr.shannon.dptJoin Evlo: www.evlofitness.com

In this episode I chat with Julia Wells (a.k.a. Julia Mother Effing Wells) to talk running a pleasure based business and what that even means. Julia is a fellow introvert and first made the jump into entrepreneurship and coaching about 5 years ago and had zero clue as to what she was doing. She took courses, hired coaches, posted on social media, made offers and tried to sell yet, basically got nowhere. She eventually got sick of spending money on things that didn't work and didn't feel good and decided that she had to find what worked for her. She quickly realized that the thing that makes us innately female is the very thing missing in business that is robbing us of the income and impact we're so longing to make. We chat:What a pleasure based business is (it's not all sexual!)Prioritizing and delegatingWhy introverts are so good at relationship buildingHow to have a small audience but large businessBreaking rules and being shameless in life and businessPleasure when it comes to profitBy undoing the conditioning that says we have to work harder, crush our competition, used fear based marketing, and sacrifice until we make it (aka delay pleasure until we hit our goals) Julia's pleasure based business took off and she now teaches others how to have the same. Julia's Book Recommendations for the Ambitious Introvert: Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena ThomashauerUnbound: A Woman's Guide to Power by Kasia UrbaniakConnect With Julia:https://www.juliacwells.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/visibleAFhttps://www.instagram.com/juliamothereffingwells/Connect with me:www.emmalouiseparkes.comInstagram: @emmalouparkes49 Introvert Friendly Marketing Tips E-book

They first started offering relocation services and they've recently launched a search platform to allow users to view available units from various coliving brands.One of the things that I've noticed with our guests here on Chief Best Friends, is that the business that co-founders choose to build is so unique to them.Clowie was one of the founders who started Chope, a well-known table booking platform here in Asia, while Yvonne led operations and expansion for one of the premier coworking spaces here in Singapore called The Great Room.In their case, Relogo was something that could only come out from their unique experience and background. They're coming onto the show today to share how that journey began. And how they've organically expanded their business offering to keep up with a constantly changing landscape, especially in the midst of a global pandemic. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEHow past work experience can be the beginnings of business ideasHow to pick a business partner through complementary strengthsHaving mutual respect and enjoying each other’s company makes for a successful business partnershipHow being intentional can help founders build a company you’re proud to be buildingHow to combat resentment and agreements through open and honest communicationsHow to move fast and make decisions when there are two decision-makers LINKS AND RESOURCESArticle: Five questions with Yvonne Yeo, Relogo Relocation and Relogo Coliving (Tech Collective)Book: Becoming by Michelle ObamaBook: The New Contented Little Baby by Gina FordMeditation App: HeadspaceInstagram accounts to follow, for parents: @solidstarts, @baby_led_eating, @kids.eat.in.color, @curious.parenting, @the.dentistmomYoutube channels for parents: Hapa FamilyPodcast: On Being SAY HI AND CONNECT WITH RELOGO!Relogo ColivingRelogo RelocationRelogo on InstagramRelogo on YouTubeRelogo on FacebookRelogo on LinkedInYvonne Yeo on LinkedInClowie Tan on LinkedIn ENJOYED THIS EPISODE?Leave a review and help others find Chief Best FriendsShare with me on Instagram (@chiefbestfriends)Chat with me on Twitter (@cbfpod)

What could better internal relationships help your organization achieve? As many businesses move their communications online, internal relationships need actively fostering in order to thrive.Whether you're friends or colleagues, forming relationships with the click of a button rather than a handshake is common. While this can make you feel connected to your organization, a virtual relationship is very different from one forged in person. It needs intentionally nurturing to grow in the same way.With better connection comes greater opportunities. Companies are beginning to focus on improving online communication, but what could you achieve by actively encouraging a relationship-building culture? In this episode of The Learning Xchange, Schoox's VP of Learning and Brand Success, Matthew Brown, examines the impact relationship building can have within a business. He looks at why organizations should intentionally focus on creating internal connections and its potential benefits. Listen to find out:How organizations are drifting away from the traditional ways of networkingThe benefits of intentional relationship buildingHow different perspectives can shape organizations for the betterWhy insights develop better learning experiencesImportant links and mentions:How HR and L&D Can Build a Better Culture Together3 Ways to Build Training for Maximum ImpactIf you liked this episode, and haven't already done so, please subscribe to The Learning Xchange podcast.

Thirty-five days, 14 hours, and 3 minutes. That’s how long it took Jason Caldwell and the crew of the American Spirit to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean during the perilous 2016 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge—or, as it’s known to those who attempt it, “The World’s Toughest Row.” They not only succeeded but set a world record.
