We thought we would expose ourselves this week by sharing some of our less glamorous sex stories, all the embarrassing, the awkward and the weird things that have happened to us during sex. We thought it might be funny to reminisce on the weird, cringe things we have done during sex, (because everyone does embarrassing things when they first start having sex). We laugh about things now, that may have felt traumatic in the moment, like the time Maria forgot about her tampon one time during sex, or the time Honey threw up in front of everyone, including the guy she wanted to shag that night. We talk a lot about drunk sex, mostly because most of Maria's ridiculous sex experiences have happened whilst under the influence. It makes sense, since alcohol is known to make people more horny, or sometimes just makes people make worse decisions, like when Maria shagged a nameless stranger in a public bathroom, or sucked on a guy's toes to get laid. Alcohol makes us dumb, like when Honey's date called her by the wrong name. But as we note, in our younger years, especially whilst at university, sometimes sex and alcohol go hand in hand. Overall, even though some of our experiences seem embarrassing, or cringe-worthy, it's nice to be able to look back and know that it is only embarrassing and cringe because we have grown, and probably wouldn't do those things again today, but we sure as hell had a lot of fun doing them. Sex will only keep getting better and we can't wait for social distancing restrictions to loosen so we will have even more embarrassing sex stories to tell. We love you all, thank you for your support.

What motivates you? I was asked this question recently and as someone who works in a world with shades of grey my first thought was “in what context”. Whether you are a leader, an employee, a boss or a solopreneur understanding what motivates you to behave in a certain way can be a powerful discovery. The FIRO B, or the Fundamental Interpersonal relations orientation behavior explores your interpersonal needs, in particular, in three areas; Inclusion, Affection and Control. At its core, this assessment shows us how we express these needs, and how much we want them.  This is part of a series I am doing on Assessments. Isn’t it time we took a deeper look at the benefits and limitations of the myriad of assessments? Sure is, in episode 37, we took a look at the KOLBE, in Episode 39 it was the DISC turn, in episode 40 we shone the light on a little known assessment, the Enneagram, and episode 41 brought us to two very different assessments, the Clifton Strengths & the Fascinate, another more obscure assessment. When we explore the needs of the individuals around us, that we work with, live with and ourselves it leads to greater understanding, personal growth, and stronger deeper interpersonal connections.  What you’ll hear in this podcast: What is a triggered reaction Why is winter “trigger-season” Why women working in male-dominated fields experience more stress What is the FIRO B The difference between a desired and expressed need in relation to your three inclusion zones What societal norms have to do with it How the FIRO B can help you manage your relationships How relationship management impacts leadership What your brain doesn’t like A simple story about a boss and an administrative assistant that will change your perspective   Free Resources: Episode 37 – The Kolbe with Andrea Mackenzie Episode 39 – The DISC Episode 40 – The Enneagram Episode 41 – Clifton Strengths & Fascinate Episode 29 – Why your subconscious is the REAL boss   How to Reach Guest Coryne Forest STEMinista revolution https://coryneforest.com/ By Email    Work with Lara Free Breakthrough Assessment Got a Question?

Lori is a third generation Japanese American and a descendant of the Samurai Warrior.  Devi and Lori discuss: How she came to know her Samurai Heritage The history of the Samurai The principles of the Samurai Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury The Samurai spirit of never giving up The special diet that is recommended for traumatic brain injury The practices that Lori has used to heal her brain from TBI Business processes that Lori uses to manage TBI Applying the Code of Bushido to Spiritual Entrepreneurship Interesting Japanese historical facts Japanese cultural practices in business Lori's mother's legacy of "Try your hardest, do your best, never give up and go for broke.

Whether she is inspiring prison inmates at the local correctional facility to create better lives, empowering women business owners at Money Wise Women conferences to honor their financial resources, or addressing business executives at the Project Management Institute to celebrate cultural diversity, Lori Tsugawa Whaley captivates attention and compels listeners to live inspired, purposeful lives of powerful contribution that extend far beyond the day to day realities of commerce. Growing up in a predominately Caucasian farming community, Lori struggled with being different.  She channeled her unrest into tireless research and curiosity to study and embrace her Japanese heritage.  Today, she models the ways of the Samurai Warrior with every story she tells and every move she makes.  Without judgment and with a full heart, she lives the principles of honor, courage, benevolence, rectitude, honesty, honor, and loyalty, while inspiring others to do the same. Having endured and painstakingly continuing to recover from not one, but two auto collisions, Lori’s resilience has been strongly tested.  It is one thing to model the ways of the Samurai Warrior in good times.  It is another thing to do so after being diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), endure years of rehabilitation, and now is a TBI survivor.  Her compassion to guide others through tough times is informed by her own journey to regain wellness against demanding odds.

It was a difficult and costly battle, but as the dust clears our heroes still stand.  For the first time the whole city sees them as heroes.  As the dust clears and the heroes recover, they will find a city that adores them and ample time to recover and grow.  Danger looms on the horizon, but it can wait for another time-- today, the team celebrates victory. Next Friday, Sept 15, at 7:00PM Eastern Time, we'll be doing a live postmortem on our first season of Masks, where we'll discuss our feelings on it.  During the show, we'll also do a Q&A of user-submitted questions.  We've gotten several already, but you can still submit your own in one of these ways: On Tumblr via the ask system On Twitter by direct message By Email, rolltobreathepod@gmail.com The postmortem will be available for viewing on Twitch.  We hope to see you there!

The final battle wages on.  Revelations are had and drastic actions are taken.  Everything the Final Hazard has faced lead to this moment; from Papa DeSnott giving himself to A.E.G.I.S. to save his son to Yoshiko's misguided attempts to use herself as bait to draw out Ashe.  Their journey has been one marked by sacrifice, yet as they come to terms with that there are still sacrifices left to make. This is our penultimate episode of our first season of Masks. The last one is an epilogue, to be released next week, which has no dice rolling or other mechanics.  Thank you so much for listening to us!  And thanks to Magpie Games and Brendan Conway for making such an excellent game.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0208 And It Will Be About Twenty Unique Benefits To Have Your Contractor QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud QuickBooks Online Is Not The Same As QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud At a quick glance, it is easy to think that all QuickBooks files are the same no matter if it is on your desktop or in the Cloud because it appears to be the same product. Nothing could be further from the truth. QuickBooks Online is slow and clunky and changes early and often so just when you think you understand it... QUICKBOOKS ONLINE CHANGES! SOFTWARE PEOPLE LOVE CHANGING STUFF! CONTRACTORS LOVE GETTING STUFF DONE! QuickBooks Desktop Version has been around since 1991, and it has improved at a stable pace that contractors and accountants can keep up with. For the past several years our contractor clients have enjoyed the having access to the tried and true QuickBooks Desktop version in a Cloud environment. Why do I like using Cloud-Based Servers? For all the same reasons every Contractor has web access to their bank is to see “The Numbers!” Money In: Have my Deposits posted and cleared?   Money Out: What checks have cleared? What’s Left Over:  How much money is in The Bank? You can access QuickBooks Desktop anytime from anywhere; using your smartphone, tablet, notebook, PC or Mac. Your QuickBooks In The Cloud Is Backed Up Every Night While You Sleep! Most small Construction Contractors like you find that working traditional hours of 9 to 5 is not realistic. Being a contractor your hours are dictated by the needs of your prospects, customers, and clients. This means as a Contractor, you may be creating an estimate, proposal, invoice, paying bills or making an electronic deposit to your bank before 9:00 AM or after 5:00 PM (Monday - Friday) You are working in the early mornings, evenings, on weekends before breakfast or after dinner, on Saturday’s, on Sunday’s and usually some time is devoted to business when you are on vacation. It Is Unusual For A Contractor To Take More Than A Couple Days Off At A Time Ten minutes here and there or an hour of productive time (without interruptions) can save even more time. For many contractors, a formal office looks like the seat of their truck parked at the near a Wifi spot. Why Wifi Spot – Because Contractors need to create the invoice, look up something at the moment to get it off their plate then move on to the next opportunity or crisis.   I chatted with several Contractors this week have been home because of weather-related issues. For those without outside offices. when at Home; they are at their 2nd Office. (Primary Office is their Vehicle) For Larger Construction Contracting Companies, The Choices Are: Wait until they can get to the office. Try to go into the office even though they should stay home. Remote access and tie up a computer if QuickBooks is on a Desktop. Bad idea – If the employee made it to work; you are using their computer and they being paid to wait. Challenges For Contractors With Staff Can Be Solved With QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud     You are able to review reports from home, after hours. You can work on a Bid, Estimate, Change Order You can review your payables and pay bills If there is a problem – much easier to take proactive action and Lock The File Down.   Too many contractors have faced issues with their in-house bookkeeping staff “Taking Control” going beyond the scope of their authority (sometimes even implying to customers and vendors they are owners). Bad Bookkeepers destroy more Construction Companies than you can imagine! Owners (or their spouses - the ultimate partners) need to be watching the numbers and THE MONEY There is a difference between assigning duties to an in-house Bookkeeping Staff, Office Managers,  or Project Managers;  giving them access to Company bank account and authorization to sign checks which is the path that often leads to Bookkeeper Embezzlement. Your QuickBooks Desktop File Is Safe In A Secure Environment – We Use An Intuit Approved Commercial Host. Why an approved Commercial Host versus any Cloud Hosting Service? To become an Intuit Approved Commercial Host they have gone through Intuit’s rigorous approval process. They must be able to document the servers are located in a Data Center with security and encryption. In simple terms, your QuickBooks files are located at a data center more secure than your bank which means it is safe.   It is not resting in someone's basement waiting for a flood or in a closet without 24/7 armed security. I have listened to contractors tell horror stories about in-house servers being downstairs in a basement and the basement being flooded and several cases their home offices being broken into by disgruntled employees while they were on vacation.(Click here to read about Remodel Contractor - Edmonds WA) I Love Having Tech Support Available By Phone, By Email, And Better Yet - Not My Direct Employees! The Commercial Host creates backups and tests the latest QuickBooks updates before installing them. Part of being a good commercial host has a plan to prevent the server going down and restore plans if it does. Sometimes our server has been down or slow, and a few times the Data Center has been down; Server by Server rolled over to a different data center and was back up within a short space of time. Our Data Center was not part of the recent “Big Outage” causing Amazon.com and other sites to be down. We have been down longer due to a local Power Outage (truck hit a power pole, we lost power and the internet) versus any outage on the server. It is not practical for us to be without internet and access to our Client’s QuickBooks files and other web-based programs.   Because everything is in the Cloud – we just went home; turned on the computers and went back to work. As a commercial office, we are required to have a fire alarm system which is hard wired using a land line. As a backup, we added internet to our landline service. Between them, we are up 99.99% of the time. On January 25, 2017, A Few Blocks From Our Office A Fire Destroyed New Construction Project http://komonews.com/news/local/crews-battling-3-alarm-fire-in-lynnwood The Fire impacted the apartments and businesses on each side, across the street, and down the block. The street was closed and blocked by police 24/7 for weeks and just recently opened. The remains of debris are still on site and visual reminder of how quickly something bad can happen. Contractors Constantly Balance Multiple Demands On Your Time Taking Care of Their Own Family Doing What Needs To Be Done Helping Others Staying Safe Bad Weather: If it is a hurricane you have time to prepare. Tornados - I guess not so much. If you had 10 minutes or less to leave; what would you grab to take with you on the way out the door?

Welcome Medicare Nation! Today we wrap up our “trilogy” about Care Coordination by talking to Patient Advocate Karyn Rizzo!   Karyn wrote the book - Aging in America - What you need to know about Navigating our Healthcare System   Karyn’s book is available on Amazon. It covers everything from finding a primary care physician, choosing Medicare programs, and also some information for LGBT friendly providers, and safety tips, fall prevention etc. It just covers lots of real life issues that you face, including respite and how to take a break from care giving!   The book came out of the needs Karyn saw in her work everyday! She knew there was so much information she needed to cover, so she created a powerful resource in the book!   Fall prevention tips that Karyn provides in the book:   Eliminate rugs in the bathroom and other rooms of the house Check the types of shoes to make sure they don’t contribute to a fall Falls happen in the middle of the night going to bathroom, so install rails Is walker or cane easily accessible from the bed? Do you have motion sensor lighting? Medications can contribute to falls   Another great resource on fall prevention is mayoclinic,org   Advocacy for Patients is important today because of the following factors:   Healthcare providers don’t have the time to spend with you explaining things Insurance companies have complex coverage rules Healthcare treatment options are more complicated than ever         What a Patient Advocate Does:   Individuals that directly advocate for the patient Neutral parties hired by the family - not employed by hospital or insurance company Evaluate the care plan for the patient Advocate will put together a care plan that meets the patient's needs Works through the process of appealing insurance and hospital decisions They know the system, the lingo, and the rules, so they can use them to the patient’s advantage Knows what programs the patient is eligible for and how to get you on the right program for them Advocate can also help involve other specialty Physicians to evaluate the best treatment plan for the patient Advocates can also help navigate care options for Hospice and understand when it is appropriate and when other options are better for the patient. Hospice does have a Home Health division and it can be confusing between that and end of life Hospice care, so the patient advocate can make sure you are on the appropriate service. Healthcare regulations vary from state to state, so it’s important to get accurate help navigating the system.       Where do you find a Patient Advocate?   Sometimes called a Geriatric Care Manager, Social Service Agencies - There is a national website that provides a directory of caregivers:     CareManager.org CareGiver.org AgingGuidebook1.com - Karyn’s website has TONS of resources     What type of Licensing does a Patient Care Advocate have?   Every state calls the role something different, but there are programs that certify in each state.  Generally, they are nurses or social workers, or have equivalent experience. Licensing or certification is required for this role.     A Geriatric Care Manager is a position that you will have to pay for. Case managers that are paid by Medicare, the hospital or the insurance company will always represent those organization’s interest first, and yours afterward.   It is worth every penny to have someone in the trenches that is representing your best interests!     Online Tools when you are out of state from the patient:     ecarediary.com reunioncare.com   These websites create a circle of care that allows everyone in that circle to have access to all the information and take action on different aspects of the care for the patient from where ever they are in the world.         Got questions about Patient Advocacy?   Karyn could assist in a consultative role if you are not located in FL. She can direct you to resources in your area.     Karyn can be reached:   By Phone: 727-452-1300    By Email: info@agingguidebook1.com   Do you have questions or feedback? I’d love to hear it! I may answer one of your questions on the air! email me: support@themedicarenation.com Thank you for listening!
