Murph caught up with more RAGBRAI LI riders to hear about their week biking across Iowa. This is the third episode in a series of great interviews with riders from all over the country. On this episode meet Sarah, Patrick, Frederick, and Megan! Sarah has an awesome story. She came from DC as a solo rider and a few mishaps turned into an amazing week of making forever friends. Then there is Patrick from Omaha who shares a fun story of getting married on RAGBRAI many years ago. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the YouTube video from 1993! Frederick is next. He is from California and RAGBRAI was just part of his cross country bike ride, raising money for Climate Ride. And finally we have Megan on this week. She is from Minnesota and this was her first RAGBRAI. She is also the Swiftie who made a bunch of bracelets to give to people she met, including the JustGoBike Podcast hosts!

Dan, Joey and Mark. Mark Mathewson and Joey Stockton from Kendall-Jackson, join Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country. Joey Stockton is the winemaker in charge of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay and Mark Methewson is VP of Hospitality. CWC has featured KJ before, on this episode recorded on October 19, 2016, when KJ winemaster Randy Ullom was our guest. KJ is the official NBA wine partner. This began during the pandemic when NBA players were confined to hotels and some of them complained about the poor wine selection available to them. When the folks at KJ heard about that, they sent 50 cases of their wine, which really got people's attention and led to the official sponsorship deal. However this is not KJ's first foray into sports sponsorships. Dan Berger did a speaking engagement at the opening of Jacobs Field in Cleveland. He was in Ohio for another reason, and Randy Ullom invited Dan to Cleveland to talk about KJ wines, which were going to be the exclusive wine supplier to the luxury boxes at Jacobs Field. Climate Ride, coming in August KJ is hosting a fund raising event called The Climate Ride on August 17. Julia Jackson is a climate philanthropist who has funded an organization called Grounded, which funds high-impact climate solutions. She wanted to do a fund raiser, so they started a collaboration with Climate Ride. The ride starts and finishes at KJ. There are 4 routes to choose from, from short to long, for riders of every level of endurance. The most ambitious one is 81 miles with 4700 feet of elevation. We will have more about Climate Ride in the weeks before the event, on this show. There will be wines from KJ, beers from Seismic Brewing and cider from Golden State, along with music and food from the KJ culinary team. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for info on the 2024 Summer Concert series. Speaking of events, tomorrow is the Sonoma County Vintners' annual Taste of Sonoma event, also at KJ. Dan Berger will be wearing his Argentine straw hat. Joey Stockton started his career in wine in Washington state, then worked in Napa Valley and started at KJ when they started in 2011. Now he is the Chardonnay winemaker. KJ Dry Riesling The first wine they taste is a 2022 dry Riesling. They saw a quote from Dan Berger that there is not enough dry Riesling out there. Back in 2018 they had the same idea and started making it. They made it in a concrete egg, a ceramic egg and stainless steel. When the ceramic egg broke, they had to work with the concrete egg and steel. Dan says it has just a trace of sugar and it is perfectly balanced and has perfect varietal aroma. Next they taste the KJ Chardonnay. Dan has written about how complicated it is to make this high quality wine consistently year after year, with a high production volume. The grapes all come from Mendocino, Monterey and Santa Barbara, all coastal regions, and cool surf towns. As time goes by, the KJ approach to Chardonnay has evolved and today shows better acidity than before. This wine has tastes of White Burgundy. It is not sweet. They do “surly aging” meaning they age the wine on the lees and they stir the barrels monthly. Mark Matthewson is VP of Hospitality (not Operations, as originally stated). KJ has a property in Tuscany that Dan says is amazing.

Season 4 Episode 58 In this episode of Accounting High, Scotty and Ackerman interview Geraldine Carter, a seasoned business consultant who has lived and worked in over 50 countries and now lives in Idaho. They discuss her background and the transformative power of travel, as well as her insights on the common mistakes CPAs make and the importance of value pricing and sales in accounting. Geraldine emphasizes the need for guidance rather than instruction for clients and the benefits of niching by vertical. She also shares her thoughts on spending versus waste and recommends a book. Tune in to learn more! Interview: Geraldine discusses her experiences traveling around the world and how they changed her perspective on life and business. She shares her decision to leave her first company and start her own business as a business strategist. Geraldine highlights three things CPAs are doing wrong, including not using value pricing, not seeing sales as necessary, and telling clients what to do instead of guiding them. She explains how niching by vertical can help CPAs differentiate themselves and attract ideal clients. Geraldine emphasizes the importance of having hard numbers and plans and distinguishing between spending and waste.

Today, I have a beautiful story for you about fatherhood, endurance, and sustainability.  Josh Lasky is a father, husband, son, amateur endurance athlete, social impact professional, and author. He serves as Director of the Office of Sustainability at The George Washington University, leading the institution's efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and fulfill other ambitious commitments. Lasky holds a Master's in public administration and a Bachelor's in political science from GW, and he serves as a board member of Climate Ride, a non-profit that organizes life-changing charitable outdoor adventures. Lasky has completed more than 6,000 miles of bicycle touring and more than 85 road and trail running races, including 50-mile, 100-kilometer, and 100-mile ultramarathons. We talk about how becoming a caretaker to his father at a relatively young age changed the trajectory of his life, how endurance sports and writing helped him through and what a year he's having with a new job and a new baby girl, and how his experience informs both his work and his parenting.  We finally got to some discussion around sustainability and I wish we had had more time, so I guess I'll just have to invite Josh back. With that, I hope you'll listen in and gear up for what's next: Where to find Josh and other links: Website Every Step is a Gift Instagram LinkedIn BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are enjoying the shows, I hope you'll subscribe, rate, review, and share with your friends!   About Lisa Gerber: Lisa advises CEOs and senior-level management on how to use the power of storytelling and effective communication to influence action and bring ideas to life.   She guides companies through the digital maze of constantly changing tools to build discovery, loyalty, and ultimately help them achieve their own big leaps.   When she is not in her office, she might be out skiing or trail running.

From co-founding Climate Ride in 2008 and scaling the socially-conscious company to a seven-figure budget, to finishing an Ironman in 12 hours, to coaching entrepreneurs on how to achieve their own lofty goals, Geraldine loves finding practical, straight-forward solutions to daunting challenges. She is an ICF-accredited Associate Certified Coach and host of the She Thinks [...] The post How to Get a Business Up and Running and Have It Be Successful: Episode 198 appeared first on Amanda Berlin -- Communication Strategy and Business Consulting.

From co-founding Climate Ride in 2008 and scaling the socially-conscious company to a seven-figure budget, to biking alone across southeast Asia, to coaching entrepreneurs on how to achieve their own lofty goals, Geraldine Carter loves finding practical, efficient solutions to complex challenges. After directly experiencing the value of outside perspective and mentorship, Geraldine began sharing her 10+ years of business experience and mindfulness training through coaching. An ICF accredited Associate Certified Coach, Geraldine takes pride in challenging herself and her clients to reach higher and find bolder ways forward. More about Geraldine and how she sees herself Note how much Geraldine has done and accomplished and how difficult it was for her to talk about it. Where did it all start, specifically where did you get the notion that you could not only think big, but that you actually had it in you to accomplish big things? Geraldine has been blessed with adventurers in her family that served as role models for her. In her family going on an adventure is as natural as going to grammar school. Also, her curiosity spurs her to see what she is capable of. Lastly, Geraldine isn’t afraid to make a mistake, fail, or make a mess of things. What have you learned from your travel, business, and physical adventures? There are painful moments when you go after your big dreams but they don’t last long. What’s important is you have to pay attention to your inner guidance when making big decisions. If it doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t right. Also, it’s important to hyper-focus on what’s important and remove low-value distractions from your schedule. There is a trifecta of things that are scaring Geraldine right now as she continues to grow her business. Do you share any of these fears? What does your system contain that you are consistently applying to yourself and sharing with your clients so they can get to where you are in their own development? I am very aware that I have developed my coaching system for myself. “We teach what we need to learn.” Or rather, we teach what we need to be reminded of. I have a coach-friend who introduced me to the phrase “new level, new devil.” Meaning when you break through obstacles you achieve new levels of consciousness, performance and success. But waiting there to greet you at that next level are the new obstacles you have to overcome of you want to continue to grow and evolve. Geraldine has a very supportive yet direct approach to help her clients play bigger. We are all eager to be where you are, playing full out, thinking big, playing big. Describe for us what life is like when we live that experience. Geraldine acknowledges she is not in this head space all the time but she has the tools to get herself there. Playing big is not a comfortable space but she accepts it and embraces it. What are your hopes for your podcast, She Thinks Big? Geraldine’s hopes her podcast is used as a tool by millions of women around the world to help them develop, grow, gain confidence, trust themselves; become the full powerful women they are fully capable of being, so that they can do whatever it is they were put on this planet to do. What are some of the baby steps we can take right now to get there? Become aware of your own internal dialogue, how it makes you feel and react, and then develop a dialogue that will help you to get where you want to be.

Whew, this episode was much harder than I had anticipated. You’ve heard me coach my clients and members of the Speaking Your Brand community on this podcast. On-air coaching calls are some of the most popular episodes because we go deep and you get to hear what it’s like to be in a coaching session. After hearing Geraldine Carter be interviewed by Jodi Flynn on Geraldine’s podcast (flipping roles), I had the bright idea to have Geraldine interview me. (Both of these amazing women have been on this podcast: Geraldine in episode 36 and Jodi in episode 26.) Except I decided to go beyond a standard interview and asked Geraldine to coach me on “thinking bigger” for myself and for Speaking Your Brand (the name of her podcast is “She Thinks Big” and Geraldine is great at drawing that out of her guests and clients). Well, little did I know that by the end of the conversation, I would feel so incredibly raw and vulnerable. (I have a new-found appreciation for those of you who do on-air coaching calls!) It took a lot for me to record and release episode 92, where I deconstructed my TEDx talk from 2016 and talked about, for the first time, how I had messed it up. Now, you’ll hear in this episode: Your “why” may become clear after you start doing something Why it matters when women aren’t visible and don’t have a seat at the table What I see in the women I’ve had as clients - you may not recognize this about yourself either Where I get stuck when “thinking bigger” (you may do this too) How Geraldine gently nudges me out of my default process-driven mind and into my heart - and the a-ha moments that come from this Questions you can ask yourself to think bigger The clarity that happens when we go deep and have a guide/coach to help us   If you're in need of a business coach to help you think bigger about your business and plan strategically, I highly recommend scheduling a consult call with Geraldine: https://focusedbizcoaching.com/ Of course, if you're in need of a speaking coach to help you create your signature talk and achieve your speaking goals, schedule a call with me: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/contact    About My Guest: Geraldine Carter coaches courageous changemakers who are ready take their business to the next level.

Former Des Moines area sportscaster and cyclist, Heidi Soliday relives her experiences on the Climate Ride and raising funds for the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. Andrea is back with more ParrotTalk chatting about the worst challenges on the bike.

042: Money Mindset with Geraldine Carter Money Mini-Series Part 2 of 4   On part 2 of our 4-part Money Mindset Mini-series, Business Coach Geraldine Carter, founder of Focused Business Coaching, asks you to reflect to uncover your “money story”. Your money story comprises of messages you were given about money growing up, the emotions that arise when working through your finances, your comfort level around setting rates and much more.   Your story can manifest itself as money hang-ups such as avoiding financial matters, being paralyzed by anxiety when making business decisions, or believing that you're unworthy of being paid for your services.   Geraldine Carter thrives on supporting entrepreneurs who are driven to make a positive change in the world while making a living. Geraldine has had first-hand experience as the co-founder of Climate Ride a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that organizes life-changing charitable events to raise awareness and support sustainability, active transportation, and environmental causes.   After travelling extensively and noticing the effect climate change has had on so many beautiful places around the world, Geraldine and her friend decided to create cycling events that bring awareness to climate change while raising money for charitable organizations. Climate Ride has grown to support 15 events around the world and is set to donate $750,000 to environmental and sustainable non-profits.   Geraldine breaks down the most important steps and tools needed to create a viable business. She emphasizes that it can be done simply so you are spending less time doing the books and more time doing what you love. 6:10 Geraldine's relationship to yoga   8:30 Where do we begin addressing our money mindset hangups?   9:00 Notice your behaviours (often avoidance techniques) around money to find your “money story”   11:10 When it's a good idea to hire someone to take care of your business finances   12:05 What should we be tracking when it comes to our bookkeeping? E.g. income, expenses, rates as they go up, how much it costs to put together workshops, etc.   12:55 Keep track of your time and energy- track how much energy you expend on various activities per hour- like creating workshops, teaching classes (including planning and travel time) to discover which activities have the highest value   15:45 Anxiety bubble around money is very common, it's temporary and will decrease as you learn and use money management tools   16:20 How can you make your business more profitable? -start keeping track, being in service and being profitable- not either or. “You can be in service AND profitable. In fact, the more profitable you are the more you can be of service.”   18:00 How often should we be tracking our transactions?   19:20 Shannon shares her money mindset hangup and how she's working on it   21:25 Almost everyone Geraldine has helped move through their anxiety around money has found that avoidance was much more painful than tackling the issue.   22:10 What keeps people from working dealing with their finances and how it interferes with your business growth   24:00 Setting your rates as a yoga teacher   25:50 Being conscious of giving free classes or lesser rates- is it a good idea?   28:20 Healthier ways to help those in need such as fundraising for karma passes, one-off scholarships, payment plans   30:15 Geraldine's favourite tracking programs depending on volume: Excel (good for businesses starting out), Freshbooks, Quickbooks   32:15 Geraldine uses Apple Pages in PDF for invoicing “The simpler the better”  Other options: Wave, Harvest, Quickbooks and many tracking programs also have an invoicing feature   33:00 MVP (Minimum Viable Product)- keep the bookkeeping and administration as simple as possible, you want to spend the least amount of time on this aspect, your service is what's most important   35:00 Best way to help people with money mindset- programs (group or one-on-one) to help you stick with the process and breakthrough   36:00 Geraldine's online and in-person course- next session in February 2018   36:25 How Geraldine got into this line of work   37:20 Geraldine's work with Climate Ride was mentioned in Seth Godin's Ted Talk   41:30 Shannon's closing thoughts Links   Geraldine's Web page- Focused Business Coaching   Course: Ditch Your Money Hang-ups with Geraldine Carter   Geraldine on Facebook   Focused Business Coaching on Facebook   Geraldine on LinkedIn   Geraldine on Google+   Climate Ride Website   YouTube Video: Ted Talk: The Tribes We Lead- Seth Godin The Connected Teacher Facebook Group   Follow The Connected Teacher on Youtube   Book a Consultation Call with Shannon   Mama Nurture Teacher Training (RPYT) Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity

Business can be a vehicle for social impact and positive change. But, oftentimes, entrepreneurs who see themselves as changemakers can get tripped up with money blocks, trusting their idea, and figuring out how to turn their idea into tangible growth. That’s where my guest Geraldine Carter comes in. As co-founder of Climate Ride, she grew the organization from an idea to a seven-figure budget and she now coaches changemaking entrepreneurs. She was even mentioned (by name!) by Seth Godin in one of his TED talks. In this episode, Geraldine and I discuss her background and early adventures traveling the world, the impetus for creating Climate Ride, the struggles she sees changemaking entrepreneurs go through, and much more. About My Guest: Geraldine Carter coaches courageous changemakers who are ready take their business to the next level. From co-founding Climate Ride in 2008 and scaling the socially-conscious company to a seven figure budget, to biking across southeast Asia on her own, to coaching entrepreneurs on how to achieve their own lofty goals, Geraldine loves finding practical, efficient solutions to seemingly complex challenges. After directly experiencing the value of outside perspective and mentorship, Geraldine has been sharing her 10+ years of business experience and mindfulness training, helping clients cut right to the core of any problem to design effective solutions. An ICF accredited Associate Certified Coach, Geraldine takes pride in challenging herself and her clients to reach higher and find bolder ways forward.

I love playing in intimate spaces like the upstairs room at Public Works... being able to reach out over the turntables and say hi to friends on the dancefloor makes the booth feel so much homier. As always, the Space Cowboys kept the dancefloor going from start the finish and I appreciate the chemistry that the Cowboys stir up when we play back to back all night. I've been on a booty breaks spree since Burning Man 2013 and I keep coming back to the bass heavy beats for my sets... from the looks of everyone on the floor, the bass was well-received. :) XO, shOOey About shOOey... shOOey has been a staple in the San Francisco dance scene since 2003. You can find her and her infectious energy at Space Cowboys events playing breaks and house. She also dedicated her time DJ'ing in support for non-profit organizations like Beats for Boobs and La Casa de las Madres. If you don't find her on the decks, you'll probably find her on a bicycle. :D She'll be riding 250 miles on the Climate Ride to raise awareness of sustainable solutions to climate change... check out her story here: http://bit.ly/shooey-climateride ★ FB fan page: facebook.com/djshooey ★ More ShOOey Soundcloud mixes: soundcloud.com/spacecowboys/sets/shooey ★ Follow her on Soundcloud: @djshooey ★ Contact: [info at djshOOey dot com] ★ Website: www.djshOOey.com ★ Space Cowboys: www.spacecowboys.org
