Podcast appearances and mentions of carol strickland

Dr. Ken Weaver and Carol Strickland, leaders in education and professionals associated with the National Teachers Hall of Fame, the Fallen Educators Memorial, and The Teacher College at Emporia State University, share what they have learned from the stories behind the names of those listed on the National Memorial to Fallen Educators.

Meet my high school lacrosse teammate Carol Strickland who has launched a side hustle that honors her dad’s legacy, connects her to interest in fishing and capitalizes on her fascination with mermaids. Carol shares how she researched the spirits marketplace and landed on her concept of premium handcrafted gluten-free Mermaid Vodka. Leveraging her corporate sales experience with BMW and the courses she took as part of her MBA, she was able to quickly go to market with her niche business. She shares how all of her experiences to date have prepared her for a different competitive and complex industry as an entrepreneur. Her two year journey is netting results today and the future is bright for her company. She talks about all of the decisions that she had to make as she was creating her company and how she evaluated each aspect of her firm to include the team she’s put together to make the business a go. You’ll learn why she decided to sell a gluten free product and how she did 3 way blind taste testing to ensure her product was competitive against well known brands such as Tito’s, Ketel One, Grey Goose and Belvedere. She shares how challenging the industry is and how events have been critical to launching her product in Florida. We discuss her marketing outreach to the fishing community and finding a distributor to get the registered brand into the retail space. Carol also shares her personal Brave Girl story as a breast cancer “thriver” and how she used her true grit to put her on the other side of her cancer diagnosis. We talk about how important it is to take care of your health and get the required screenings. Learning there are no guarantees in life, Carol’s perspective shifted and allowed her to have the courage to take the leap and believe in herself with launching Mermaid Vodka. We also talk about the popular trend in mermaids and how that has given her additional sales opportunities for Mermaid Vodka, to include merchandise with her logo. I know that you will love listening to my conversation with one of my favorite mermaids and brave girls, Carol Strickland. So let’s go!

THE NATIONAL TEACHERS HALL OF FAME   Yeah, there is one...in Emporia KS and we have Executive Director of said Hall, Carol Strickland to tell us all about it. And a hearty thanks to Michelle Accardi at NBPTS for introducing us to Carol www.nthf.org  @teachershall   Presented by Zaner Bloser  www.zaner-bloser.com  @zanerbloser

In 476 CE, according to the chronology most of us learned in school, the Roman Empire fell and the Dark Ages began. That’s how textbook chronologies work: one day you’re studying the Romans, and next day you’re deep in early feudal Europe, as if a fairy godmother had waved a magic wand. Reality is more complex. The Fall of Rome affected only the western territories of that great world power, which had in fact been weakening for some time. The Eastern Roman Empire–later known as Byzantium or the Byzantine Empire–survived for another thousand years. Recast under Turkish rule as the Ottoman Empire, it lasted five hundred years more. But the Eastern Roman Empire endured shocks and fissures of its own, and its survival was far from assured. Under the rule of Emperor Justinian I and his empress, Theodora, it entered a crucial phase. Justinian began life as a swineherd, Theodora as a bear keeper’s daughter, yet they fought their way to the pinnacle of power in Constantinople and, once there, established a new set of governing principles that for a while almost restored the empire that Rome had lost. In The Eagle and the Swan (Erudition Digital, 2013), Carol Strickland  traces the first part of Justinian’s and Theodora’s journey. Listen in as she takes us through the circuses, streets, brothels, monasteries, and churches of early sixth-century Byzantium, all the way to the imperial court. Learn more about your ad choices.
