Finding your Creative Path   On today's show we chat about finding your true creative path. We talk to someone who turned his life around focussing on his true life-dreams. And Liv is back with what could be one of the big, laugh-out-loud, picture books of 2024!   Today's guest says he was the world's worst accountant. After a desire to be Michael J Fox, aka Alex P Keaton from the TV show Family Ties, took him down the corporate path, he spent years gaining a Commerce Degree and working for a gigantic mining company, before taking stock of what was really important – realising his childhood dream, to be a storyteller. When his children were born, he found his life-calling as a Dad. And with it, the second half of his career – the storyteller. To tell us about his incredible journey into the kid lit world, along with his hilarious new picture book Baboon in a Balloon, please welcome the incredible storyteller extraordinaire,  Patrick Guest.

When Keepin It Real w/Caramel spoke JP McLean, it was a pleasure speaking with JP. We had a ball catching up. She is full of life, and by way, the conversation was very fun. JP (Jo-Anne) McLean is a bestselling author of urban fantasy and supernatural thrillers. She is a Global Book Award winner, a CIBA finalist, and has received honours from the Eric Hoffer Book Awards, the Wishing Shelf Book Awards, the Whistler Independent Book Awards, and the Victoria Writers' Society.

JP holds a Bachelor of Commerce Degree from the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business, is a certified scuba diver, an avid gardener, and a voracious reader. She had a successful career inhuman resources before turning her attention to writing. JP lives with her husband on Denman Island, which is nestled between the coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island. JP love of reading started early. She has memories of sitting in her father's lap with a picture book from the library and dragging her finger along the page under words that her Dad would help her sound out. Her love of writing started somewhat later but ignited when she began writing what she loved: supernatural thrillers. Some call it urban fantasy, paranormal, or magical realism. The definitions overlap somewhat, but the thing they have in common is a fantastical element that forces you to suspend reality and ask the question, What if that were possible? JP stays true to herself, and she writes what she feels and she loves when the reviewers love what they read. Her reviewers call her books addictive, smart, and fun. I knew JP is someone special, she keeps elevating and I can't wait until one day she writes her movie, to me it going to sell very well, plus I want to be in it, that's if she let me, we will see.

In 1982, Michael Jackson released his Thriller album; the Australian Prime Minister was Malcolm Fraser, Prince William was born and E.T. The Extra Terrestrial premiered in cinemas … and, in her bedroom in a beachside suburb east of Sydney, an 8-year-old called Natasha McKenna received a visit from God. Tash, as she's known, is my guest today on Spirit Sisters, in part one of a two-part conversation. Tash is a spiritual teacher and Truforgiveness healer. As an eight-year-old trauma survivor, hearing the audible voice of God make her a promise sparked the beginning of a 40-year spiritual odyssey that pushed her to the depths of despair. Throughout her life, with a Commerce Degree to lean on, Tash has worked a myriad of roles, including talent booker and marketing manager before being guided to dedicate her life entirely to bringing through the teachings she's received. Tash is the author of The Treasure Map of Truforgiveness, FAITH & the ‘I Forgive' Principle. In Tash's words, “this is the true way to forgive that has been gifted by God. It is how you change your mind from the wrong mind of judgment and attack to the right mind of peace and love that precedes spiritual awakening. It is how you truly heal and make miracles your own.” As you'll hear in the opening minutes, Tash and I are friends, having met in unlikely circumstances years ago. We also found out we were both students of the spiritual self-study text, A Course in Miracles, a channelled work which teaches forgiveness as a path to healing and inner peace. What Tash teaches is a kind of corollary to A Course in Miracles, or ACIM, in that she offers how to actually forgive from the Right Mind – you'll hear her refer to that a lot – and not the ego mind, which only brings about a false forgiveness. Tash was instructed to call her process, “Truforgiveness,” and she shares a fascinating story about how that unfolded. She also reveals her near-death experience and other mystical experiences, including a profound journey “outside of time.” This is a challenging episode, and an advanced teaching, so I invite you to open wide your heart and mind to it and take your time. Tash, who was raised in a non-religious setting, uses traditional Christian terms in fresh and surprising ways, much like ACIM. For instance, her definition of God is “the Wholeness of Perfect Love … beingness over bodily identification.” Before we begin, please note that this episode references suicide, eating disorders, substance abuse and PTSD.

This week on My Dead Dragon, Katherine is in conversation with Tamara Dabels, Executive Director, Fort Saskatchewan and District Chamber of Commerce. Listen in to find out how you can move forward without it feeling overwhelming. Take the next step you can take, that’s all you need to worry about. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tamara suffered from a big lack of confidence, letting the voice in her head tell her she wasn’t good enough. When looking for work it would tell her that nobody would want to hire her. Imagine someone said these things to your child. You wouldn’t let them, so why should you let you talk to yourself that way. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you can do this. Do it every day until eventually you believe it. Allow the positive voice to be louder, to drown out the negative voice. If you don’t have a close circle of people you can talk to about this, then podcasts and YouTube can be a good friend to you. It’s important to get that positive affirmation. You don’t need to reach the goal right away. You only need to take the next step that’s in front of you. When you need to rest, you can rest, then take that next step. Each step you take gets you closer to your goal, even if it’s a small one. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was a hot mess until I was in my thirties’ ‘Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable isn’t easy’ ‘The hills I'll die on are the causes I believe in’ ABOUT THE GUEST Tamara has been the Executive Director for the Chamber since 2017. She is proud to work on behalf of the District's exceptional businesses community who inspire Tamara every day. She earned her Bachelor of Commerce Degree with a major in Finance and minor in Marketing from the University of Alberta. Inspired by the unique stories and passions of those around her, Tamara's favourite part of life is connecting with people and learning about what drives them. A connector, and a person of service, Tamara's joy for what she does is evident in all that she does. While she loves helping businesses grow, she also enjoys road trips with her husband Trevor and spending time with their two kids, Logan and Samantha.

(https://bdacademy.pro/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mark-holton-e1528211102709.jpg) Mark Holton Mark Holton, FCPA, has more than 35 years’ experience as an Accountant and Tax Agent in practice. He is the Managing Director of Dynamic Taxation and Training Services and a Director of Smithink. Mark has developed specialised skills in corporate presentations and training with extensive experience in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and North America. He is also a respected consultant in taxation and business management, in particular, value-added services implementation and administration. Mark holds a Master of Commerce Degree as well as several postgraduate qualifications in accounting and management. He also has a Degree in Adult Education and an Advanced Diploma of Financial Planning. Mark is a passionate and engaging personality, and this interview is packed with insight and practical advice for accountants who want to adopt a more advisory vz compliance led approach to their work. Shownotes: An advisory approach improves profitability for accountants and strengthens cashflow Larger accounting firms often struggle to develop advisory capability because too many strategic decisions are made by committee The two things accounting firms of all sizes need to become more advisory focused – commitment (appetite) to embrace it and the capacity (resources) to execute it Trusted advisor status for accountants simply means the client comes to you with key problems (family and wider business), not just financial and accounting As trusted advisors, accountants are the central point of entry for clients to analyse their issues and unlock their needs in a project management capacity A family and business approach to advising clients moves accountants from compliance to reliance Three key elements to a successful infrastructure in an advisory firm (system, processes and right people) Accountants are big on compliance value systems, processes, checklists and quality assurance, which are actually the foundation for great advisory work The importance of storytelling for accountants, particularly future storytelling vz the traditional historical reporting. An example of great storytelling for accountants – how to make the narrative come alive for clients. Hint – green and red flags highlight strengths and weaknesses. Excel (the accountants love tool) is as good as anything to show what’s happening in a business It’s not for every accountant to delivery advisory services (it might be a different department). But it is everyone’s job to develop business and diagnose the needs that arise from client interactions. Ongoing training is vital for that Ever wondered what a Client Engagement Model looks like for accountants? Mark Holton explains with the help of WITY – ‘what’s important to you?’ Good accounting advisors ask the right questions of their clients, listen carefully to the answers and get inside their head to understand what they really need How positioning and offering advisory work can differentiate you from your accounting competitors. Thus it becomes a unique selling proposition (USP) Can you as an accountant show your client’s the financial impact of every decision they’ll take before they take it? That’s great advisory work! The definition of value pricing in the Mark Holton Dictionary of Life and Business. Value is determined by the client, not the accountant Mark’s excellent four word response to accountants who say ‘I’m not sure if my clients will pay for this advisory work’ How accountants can ascertain whether or not a client is price sensitive, and what they’re sensitive about Offering successful advisory services is not so much about the software if your accounting firm is not committed to and willing to resource more advisory work Hear some of the big reasons accounting firms fail to implement the advisory model....
