Applications dried up. Social media stalled. Her audience lost clarity.That's when Kendra stepped in.Kendra unpacks what changed in the online business world (hello, post-2020 saturation), why what used to work doesn't anymore, and how narrowing down your niche can completely transform your business—yes, even if you're already successful.

It turned out to be a nightmare that cost her $30,000.LEARNING: If you don't have passion for something, don't do it. Happiness and delivering value should be the ultimate goal, not just making money. “Yes, you want to start a business. But first, sit back and ask yourself, “Will I enjoy this?

She discussed it with her husband, who was very supportive. Elvi chose to launch an E-commerce business. She had heard many people say it was a fun and profitable business and believed she could do it.Elvi took an online course and started learning about E-commerce and how to do it step by step. She did her due diligence. Unfortunately, Elvi didn't have a passion for E-commerce. It was a lot of work, and it was a nightmare at the end because she was putting in a lot of hours and didn't turn a profit. She lost about $30,000 in that business.Lessons learnedIf you don't have passion for something, question yourself 1,000 times before starting that business. Passion allows you to tell a story that resonates with your customers.Learn from people who have done it before and get a mentor.If you don't have experience in the kind of business you want to start, don't go all in; be agile and try to sell a few units of your product, then double down as you continue to grow and adapt.Happiness and delivering value should be the ultimate goal, not just making money.Andrew's takeawaysWhatever job or business you start, ensure it's built around the core thing you do naturally today.No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsElvi's number one goal for the next 12 months is to spend more time with her kids, husband, mom, sisters, aunts, and whole family.Parting words “Even if you cannot see it now, whatever you are going through will be okay.

STEM careers are often touted as those with the best prospects, but when it comes to job satisfaction things may not be quite so rosy. A stark number of workers in the tech industry are currently looking to move jobs – either into a different tech role or into another field entirely. Many more are facing the looming prospect of job cuts, while an increasing number are reporting poor working conditions. All this adds up to a disaffected and disengaged workforce – something leaders need to fix or risk losing valuable staff and the knowledge they hold.What can companies do to stem this issue, and how practical are these solutions? In this episode, Jane and Rory discuss the state of employee wellbeing in tech and how leaders can start to address issues such as burnout and turnover.Read more:How to combat high staff turnover in techAgile development is fading in popularity at large enterprises - and developer burnout is a key factorSurging cyber threats exacerbating security staff burnoutHybrid work means we're burning out harder and faster than everA third of cyber security pros report crumbling work-life balanceCyber security professionals are exhausted, and it's putting firms at greater risk of attackFighting the ‘always on' culture that's savaging mental health in cyber securityBoosting mental health support in the workplaceUK's four-day week trial ends, leads to reduced burnout and sick daysThe company-wide benefits of mentorship in techGartner: Nearly half of cyber leaders to leave roles over mounting stressIT staff frustrated at rate of change in the workplaceFive ways to prevent digital transformation burnoutCan businesses use AI to beat burnout?AI employee monitoring will only burn bridges in the workplace

I had a fascinating chat with the brilliant Emma Fletcher about the UK's first 100% renewable district heating scheme and Housing Association development challenges - two massive topics at the heart of environmentally and socially responsible residential property. Emma is the Managing Director at Evera, a partnership of four Housing Associations in the East of England - which collectively owns and manages over 100,000 homes. She's also the Chair of Swaffham Prior Community Land Trust, which is developing a ground-breaking village-wide renewable energy supply. In short, she's a pretty incredible role model for leading socially and environmentally responsible change in residential property.

We're kicking off a great week with some optimism on the economy. How about that?! We talk through Cox, Chief Economist Jonathan Smoke's time with us and the All Things Used Car Community last Friday. We also talk about the rise in numbers of Minority Dealers across the country, as well as a Harvard collab with the Census Bureau that studies how far young adults are moving (or not moving). Recap Jonathan Smoke on ATUCTook us to school on what a recession is. Hint: It's not defined by a single, popular metric of 2 negative quarters of GDP growth but “A broad based economic decline that last for more than a few months” Net import gain, and other factors were accounting factors that lowered GDPGoods stuck on ships finally getting through ports as well as inventoryUnemployment rate also a major indicator and seem to be holding strongConsumer spending AND business investment are both up in Q1Certain sectors feeling some pain like tech, but certainly not ‘broad based'Predicts stronger than normal used salesTake Away: Don't believe what you read, believe what you are seeing…but keep paying attention!Minority Dealers Are On the RiseNet increase of 123 since 2019 with more growth slated for 2022NAMAD President, Damon Lester said about the goals set out by OEM's in 2020, "It was the first time in a very long time that manufacturers came out and made a commitment in writing to the world about their [diversity and inclusion] vision, what they believed in, what their goals were and what they wanted to achieve," "That helped us because most of the time we've seen commitments just written to us and not to the world, so that level of transparency really helped us in having a whole different level of accountability."Asian-owned dealerships grew most last year with 62, now totaling 361. African American stores rose by 27 to 292 after several years of dormancy and Hispanic-owned stores were up 17 in 2021 to 591The 2007-2008 recession severely impacted minority dealers as they're numbers dropped from 1,805 in 2006 down to 875 by 2011. They have been on the rise ever since“AV Fleming, executive director of the Ford Minority Dealers Association, said he wouldn't be surprised if the automaker topped its 2021 performance this year.”Take Away: Accountability, diligence, and hard work seem to be the winning formula here. Young adults are staying close to home more than everA research paper collab released last week from the Census Bureau and Harvard University reported 80% of young adults at age 26 had moved less than 100 miles of where they grew up, and only 10% moved more than 500 miles away.Focused on US citizens born between 1984 and 1992 (between 30 and  38) focusing on where they lived when they were 26Those in higher income households tended to move farther awayTake away: Yet another benefit to localized brand and community building in your local areaGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/Rock with us LIVE at ASOTU CON!

BIO: Richard Moran is a Silicon Valley investment and operations veteran. He is General Partner at Tonic BioVentures, an early-stage life sciences venture firm. STORY: Richard was impressed by the success record of a young man, so much so that he got his company to invest $6 million to build a business. A few months later, the young man misbehaved in front of customers. Richard reprimanded him, but he did the same thing again and had to be fired. Richard's company lost $6 million. LEARNING: Pay proper attention to the findings of the due diligence. Don't be distracted by past track records. Be careful of key man risk where the success of your investment is hinged on one person.   “Sometimes past performance is not an indicator of future performance in investing.”Richard Moran  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/richardamoran/ (Richard Moran) is a Silicon Valley veteran in both investing and operations. He is General Partner at https://tonicbioventures.com/ (Tonic BioVentures), an early-stage life sciences venture firm. Previously, he was the President of Menlo College. His background includes serving as a Partner at Venrock, CEO at Accretive Solutions, Chairman of Portal Software, and a Managing Partner at Accenture. His track record includes successful exits in software, gaming, food, and life sciences. He is a  best-selling author with ten books to his credit. His latest book is Never Say Whatever to be published by McGraw-Hill. He has a syndicated show, “In the Workplace” on CBS Radio, and is an “Influencer” on LinkedIn where he is a regular contributor but never reads the comments. Worst investment everA young man, who had been very successful, wanted to start a new company and needed $6 million to start it. Richard was blinded by his success story and immediately got his company to invest in him. They gave the young man the $6 million he needed to build this company. The success of that company was all hinged on him because he was its core. A couple of months later, the young man behaved inappropriately at a trade show. The partners went to Richard about what to do. According to Richard, the partners had two options. One was to fire him, in which case, they'd lose $6 million. The second option was to coach him; in this case, he might change or ignore it; if he ignored it, no one would want to be involved in his company. Richard didn't want to lose the $6 million, but he also didn't want to keep him on. So he brought him into his office, yelled at him, and warned that he'd fire him if it happened again. The young man did something similar again. So he was fired, and Richard's company lost $6 million. The sad part is that there were hints of the young man's bad behavior during due diligence before Richard made the first investment. But he ignored it. Lessons learnedPay proper attention to the findings of the due diligence. Don't be distracted by past track records. Sometimes past performance is not an indicator of future performance in investing. Whatever you do, know you'll always get caught. Stay current. Andrew's takeawaysBe careful of key man risk where the success of your investment is hinged on one person. Remember to talk to people who don't like that company or have had a bad experience when you do your due diligence. Actionable adviceDon't go after the shiny objects that everybody wants. When doing your due diligence, it's not just about the person or the company but also about the market. Find out what's happening in that category. No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsRichard's goal for the next 12 months is to stay healthy and continue to be an evangelist of common sense in the workplace.

BIO: Anthony Milewski is an investing veteran and Chairman of Nickel 28 – a battery metals-focused investment company focusing on metal streaming and royalty agreements. STORY: Anthony and a friend partnered to drill oil in Indonesia. They pooled $10 million and hit the ground running. After facing one disaster after another, the partners gave up on the venture, having spent all the money, and not a single well was dug. LEARNING: Understand the context of the foreign country you're investing in—research both the expected return and expected risk.   “Why are you investing? Do you need to do this? What's the alternative?”Anthony Milewski  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonymilewski/ (Anthony Milewski) is an investing veteran and Chairman of Nickel 28 – a battery metals-focused investment company with a focus on metal streaming and royalty agreements. The company trades on the Toronto stock exchange. Anthony has been active in the battery metals industry, including investing in cobalt and actively trading physical cobalt. Previously, he was a member of the investment team at Pala Investments Limited, a leading venture capital firm. Worst investment everA former partner and friend in Australia shared an idea with Anthony about these oil drilling blocks coming up for auction in Indonesia. Anthony figured it was a good idea, and so the two partnered and raised roughly $10 million. They were awarded a block. The two partners thought they were to drill a couple of wells and become oilmen. It never happened. They faced one disaster after another, from corruption locally to landowners fighting them to the inability to mobilize because they were being held to ransom by locals. Ultimately, they spent all the money they had raised but never drilled a well. The partners' undoing was their naivety to how complicated it would be to do an oil and gas deal with local landowners without a strong local partner. Lessons learnedUnderstand the context of the foreign country you're investing in. If a return feels out of whack, even if experts are right, always make sure that you understand the risk. When you see a return that looks like an outsize return, ask why? Then identify what the why is because that is the risk. Andrew's takeawaysSplit your research between the expected return and expected risk. Reducing risk reduces the expected return. Understand your investment environment. Actionable adviceBe thoughtful when investing in places where you don't know anything about. Work with a management team that has an edge in that place. And if you don't trust that investment, buy something else.

BIO: Alex Gruye and Assaf Arie are real estate property management brokers in Twin Cities, Minnesota. They're partners at Lion Rock Property Management who handle real estate investments, manage portfolios, properties, etc. STORY: A group of gentlemen approached Alex and Assaf to manage some single-family homes they had invested in. These properties started as a bad investment, but the duo restored them and turned them into tier-one properties. They later sold them for double the money the gentlemen had invested. LEARNING: Proper due diligence is paramount. Have the proper team with the right experience to help you pick and manage your property.   “Talk to a seasoned property manager; they'll get you a lot of insight on the market.”Alex Gruye and Assaf Arie  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-gruye-25ba5611/ (Alex Gruye) and https://www.linkedin.com/in/assaf-arie-05025038/ (Assaf Arie) are real estate property management brokers in Twin Cities, Minnesota. They're partners at https://www.lionrockproperties.com/ (Lion Rock Property Management) that handles real estate investments, manages portfolios, properties, etc., and all of the headaches that come along with it. Worst investment everA group of gentlemen who had made their first multifamily investment in a couple of single-family homes came to Alex and Assaf for their property management services. The homes were in a less desirable, tougher side of town known for its problems. The owners had purchased the property blindly and with a lot of excitement, but it turned out to be their worst investment ever. The homes were in a poor state when Alex and Assaf started managing them. They received 14 pages of citations that were never even disclosed through the underwriting process. There were units where all of the windows were broken, and they had to replace every stove, every refrigerator, and every AC unit in all 20 units. Alex and Assaf planned to turn this from the worst investment ever to the best one ever. The properties were a tier-three, and they worked them up to a tier-one. The plan was to recommend the owners sell the property after getting them to tier one. There were months of management where they held their bill essentially to make sure the properties kept afloat and got where they needed to be to sell them for profit. They did this because they knew money was going to come in once they sold them. They knew they had to go in and push to get the units to look nice and spent an upward of $25,000 to make this happen. They were able to sell the units, and the owners doubled their money. They turned something that was literally from day one the worst nightmare to an investment that brought in double the money. Lessons learnedIn real estate, proper due diligence is paramount. Have the proper team with the right experience, especially when getting your property. Understand the area the property you want to buy is in. Visit the area at different times of the day and see what it is like; talk to the neighbors and inspect every unit before you buy it. Know the nuances of the investment. Understand how it works, know how to operate it, understand the market drivers and the opportunities in the area. Also know the risks. Andrew's takeawaysIt doesn't matter what the investment you're getting into; you've got to do your research to understand it and make sure it's a worthy investment. When buying property and you don't have a lot of experience in real estate, go and meet experts in that area and talk about it before you buy the property. This way, you will understand a lot of elements involved in the purchase that you may not have expected. Actionable adviceTalk to a seasoned property manager; they'll get you a lot of insight into the market. No. 1 goal for the next 12 monthsAlex's number one goal for the next 12 months is to stay healthy, keep positive every day and continue on the path of helping investors with their purchases.

BIO: Marie Gervais, PhD., CEO of Shift Management, offers targeted supervisory and middle management training, team coaching, and organizational capacity development to businesses and organizations. STORY: Marie had the fantastic idea of developing a management decision-making gaming app. She pitched the idea to a few decision-makers within her industry, and they assured her it was a great idea. Marie had no experience in tech and did zero research on app development before she started working on the app. This saw her lose over $140,000 in an idea that never materialized due to her inexperience. LEARNING: Do thorough market research, take calculated risks, and never go to market before validating your idea with a few paying customers. If a situation is not working out, walk away and carry the lessons with you.   “I discovered all the gifts that I learned from this mistake, and I started to dig my way out of the shame.”Marie Gervais  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/leaderstraining/ (Marie Gervais), PhD., CEO of https://shiftworkplace.com/courses/quickstudy-manager-builder/ (Shift Management), offers targeted supervisory and middle management training, team coaching, and organizational capacity development to businesses and organizations.

She then had an idea to create a gaming app for managers, something like a management decision-making app. At the time, Marie was a member of one of the manufacturing industry networks for C suite manufacturing decision-makers. She pitched her idea to some of the members, and they all said it was a great idea; it was something they could really use. Hitting the ground runningMarie started planning how to bring her idea to life. She had never created a game before, so she started thinking about what she would do and how to practice doing that. She figured she'd start with the management decision-making app and then move into the game. Then she'd pitch her app to decision-makers who would send her to their training and development people and finally start piloting it and see how that goes. So again, Marie pitched to the group, and they told her that's a great idea and gave her a few tips which she thought were helpful. They asked her to come back to them when she finished the app. Burying herself in the app creationMarie was heavily invested in the phone app and spent over $140,000. She faced a lot of hurdles while creating it. She went to a technology company that didn't know what they were doing with that particular type of game. She went to another company, and they didn't have the skills either. So she switched to a third one and lost more money. The whole thing was just a big money-sucking hole. Pulling the plugMarie realized that she didn't have the necessary experience to find the right people; she didn't understand the tech process or the phases of development. Her biggest mistake was going with the idea first rather than research. Marie lost business due to that single focus, and it was when she decided to pull the plug.

BIO: Ian Moyse is the Chief Revenue Officer at OneUp Sales. He is a decorated and numerously awarded sales director. STORY: A few years ago, Ian was between jobs, so when the first opportunity came knocking, he accepted it without doing any due diligence. The company turned out to be toxic, and he had to leave after nine months only. LEARNING: Do your due diligence to make sure that you accept the job that is right for you. Do not let your vulnerability blind you to accepting just any opportunity that comes along.  “When you are desperate for a job, that’s when you should do more due diligence than you normally would.” Ian Moyse  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ianmoyse/ (Ian Moyse), Chief Revenue Officer at https://www.oneupsales.co.uk/book-a-demo/ (OneUp Sales), has sat on the boards of a number of industry bodies, such as FAST (Federation Against Software Theft), CIF (Cloud Industry Forum), and Eurocloud. He was awarded the accolade of BESMA UK Sales Director of the year and was listed in the top 50 Sales Keynote speakers by Top Sales World. Ian was rated #1 Cloud influencer Onalytica and has been recognized as a leading cloud Blogger and is utilized by a range of global brands as a Cloud Computing thought leader. Worst investment everA number of years ago, Ian was in the unfortunate circumstance of being between jobs. Even though he had a bit of money saved to cushion him for some time, he did not want to be jobless for too long. So Ian was interviewing and happened to find an opportunity. It was not the perfect job, but he could make it work. Great on the face valueThe job opportunity was in a family business that looked great at face value. Its revenue had been stagnant for a few years, but Ian was excited at the chance to get onboard and reignite the business. Doing what he is good atIan took the role because he needed a job. He built a team of about nine people and got to work. He identified all the changes that the company needed and was ready to implement them once the company owners approved them. The cracks start to showIt was at this point that Ian started to realize there were some cracks in the company. He found out that there was dysfunction and politics in the family that spilled over to the business. This made it so difficult for him to change things. His ideas would get opposed all the time just because family members could not get along. It was very frustrating. The culture in the business was also getting quite toxic. The people Ian had hired started leaving the company as they could not handle the toxic environment anymore. Ian also quit after nine months at the company. Failed to do his due diligenceThe worst investment mistake that Ian made was investing his time in a job without doing enough diligence. This caused him to take on a job that was not a good fit for him. Lessons learnedDo your due diligence to make sure that you accept the job that is right for youYour desperate need for an income may cause you to put up with stuff, but you must think very carefully about a role you’re going to take. You don’t want to be in a toxic environment which will affect your mental health, the people around you, and your home, or put you in a position where you need to look for another job. Andrew’s takeawaysDo not let your vulnerability blind you to accepting just any opportunityWhen in desperate need of a job, realize your vulnerability at that time. Use that vulnerability as a tool to put a little bit more thought into what you’re committing to. This is very important because vulnerability could put you in a position where you could be willing to overlook stuff and not do your due diligence because you can’t afford to say no to a job offer. Actionable adviceWhen you are desperate for a job, do more diligence than you would normally. The beauty is that there’s more opportunity to do it now than ever before because of the web.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethbuko/ (Elizabeth Buko) is an author and Wealth Coach. She helps entrepreneurs improve their finances & start their wealth-building journey by changing the way they think about money from a faith-based perspective. Elizabeth has helped women eliminate tens of thousands in personal debt, start investing towards their financial goals, grow their net worth to multiple 6 and 7 figures, and let go of deep personal beliefs that limit them financially. She is the Founder of Wealth From Little, where she runs monthly wealth creation classes. She is married and has two young children.   “Everything that we have right now is, in most cases, directly related to how we were thinking in the past.” Elizabeth Buko   Worst investment everA hunger to be richAt 19, Elizabeth worked as an intern and hated not having enough money to live a comfortable life. She decided that she would be rich and started looking for ways to make money quickly. Elizabeth had heard abouthttps://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep298-robert-ramos-there-is-more-to-a-good-stock-than-just-numbers/ ( investing in the stock market). She had read in the news about people who had invested in stocks and were now millionaires. She wanted to be like them. Saving every penny she couldElizabeth would save every penny that she earned. She would only pay essential bills and save everything else. While her friends and sisters were going shopping, to the cinema, out for dinner, spending money, and having fun, Elizabeth would be left behind. She was literally saving every coin to invest and get rich in 20 or 30 years. Investing in the first option availableElizabeth tried to find information about investing in stocks, but she could not find any. She felt restless and like she was just wasting time sitting around waiting to find information while her savings could be making her rich. Elizabeth had saved about 4,000 pounds, so she decided to just do it. Elizabeth thought that all you had to do was pick a stock from a long list, put money into it, sit back, relax and wait for the money to start coming in. She picked a stock and put in 2,000 pounds. A couple of months later, Elizabeth picked a second stock and put in the rest of her savings. The elusive richesA few months later, the first company Elizabeth invested in started experiencing issues, and the stock lost value. The second stock was still doing well, and she was earning dividends. Fast forward six or seven years later, the company crashed. There was a recession, and the company did not survive it. Just before the recession started, Elizabeth’s money had grown to about 15,000. Then the company crashed, and she lost it all. Lessons learnedDo not let the fear of being poor lead you to your worst investment everThe fear of being poor and the desire to be rich can cause you to invest blindly with the hope of making a lot of money fast. You get so blinded by fear that you make decisions without clearly understanding how to invest as a beginner. Investing in the stock market is not a get rich quick schemeDo not go into the stock market thinking that you will get rich quick. If you want to grow your wealth, you need to do it right. Read up on investing in the stock market, seek advice on how to go about it, and get out of the mindset of getting rich quick. Andrew’s takeawaysInvestment is a serious business that needs more than excitementDo not invest just because you see other investors living lavish lives or get sucked into the media hype on investing. Investing is a serious business that can strip you of your wealth very quickly. So do not get into it blindly. Start investing with a portfolio of ten stocksIf you are going to start investing in stocks, then have about 10 of them. Not one or two, and not 20 or 30, or else you are just mimicking the market. The best way to go about it is to get an ETF or a fund that owns many stocks. This way, you will have a...

056 – After the election, your prayers are more important than everA lot of people I've talked to are troubled about how things might develop after the Presidential election in the United States, on November 3.Some people are worried civil war will break out. Some think there will be civil unrest and protests no matter who wins.  There is a concern of voter fraud and valid votes not being counted.The news media are always speculating and predicting all kinds of extreme possibilities.Prayer after the electionWhere does prayer fit into this and will it even matter if you pray at this point?Yes, it will make a difference if you pray. And prayer should be at the forefront of all we think and do during the coming days and weeks. But how should we act and pray? If your candidates win, will you gloat and feel empowered? If your candidates loose, will you react with resentment and calls of foul play? How will those attitudes affect your prayers?OR...will you  respond with grace and pray for blessings upon whoever wins, even if you didn't vote for them?1 Timothy 2:1-4  ESV1  First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2  for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3  This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4  who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.These wonderful Scriptures encourage not just Timothy, but you and me as well, to pray for all people, for the leaders and those in positions of authority. It doesn't say only pray for them if you voted for them and you agree with them. All leaders need your prayers right now. The United States is at a crossroads. We will either become more divisive or we will heal our angers and resentments and go forward together. Your prayers can make all the difference.The right hand and the left handYour right hand and your left hand do  not argue about who is right. The right hand can do some things by itself. Same with your left hand. But there are sometimes when they must cooperate and work together to get a job done. The political right and the left should take a lesson from this relationship. One by itself cannot run the show without the other's input and aid.My prayer requestPlease pray for all those in government to be healed of animosity and pride, be filled with neighborly love for those in the other party, and work together to find solutions to our country's problems.And let this prayer start with you in your dealings with those you disagree with.In this episode...I share where you can find a guide book, an owner's manual so to speak, on how to pray after this election. It's a sermon given many years ago by a well-known preacher.I talk about how Jesus  had a different perspective on government than we do.There are lots of Bible verses this week. You can find them all in the show notes for this episode: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/056I'd love to hear how you are praying during this important time. If you are not in the U.S.,  I hope you find these ideas helpful for when there is an election in your country.Thanks so much for listening.  If you think of anyone who would appreciate this episode, please share it with them.To register for the 10 week class, The New Testament Angels Still Speak to Us Today, go to Angel ClassSupport the show

In today’s episode, we explore what the differences are between an electric vehicle and a gasoline vehicle. We also look at ways that you can select electric vehicles. Look at the different vehicles on the market and see how we can as a community make changes together. Our guest today is the founder of EVERA, where he and his team are working hard to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy and bridging the sustainability gap between the private sector/government and community through innovative engineering activities. Crazy birds, without any further ado, I would like to welcome, Kyle Weber. Final Five1.What is one social media platform that you follow? (https://www.instagram.com/masdarcityabudhabi/?hl=en) (https://www.instagram.com/thesustainablecity/?hl=en) (https://www.instagram.com/dubaicarbon/?hl=en) (https://www.instagram.com/ews_wwf/) 2.What is your hope for mama earth going forward?  That we form tight communities again.  3.What advise can you give our crazy birds this week to help out mama earth?  There is so much that can be done when you put yourself out there and you kind of lend that trust to someone else. For this week maybe just try to sort of lend that trust a few times or once at least to someone random that you may have not trusted before.  4.What is one sustainability fact that you like to use in a room with people not yet on a sustainability journey?  If you recycled one aluminium can, the amount of energy that you have saved, just by recycling that is the equivalent to you watching TV for four hours.  5.Where can people find you? (https://www.facebook.com/EVERA-309696559823220/) (https://www.instagram.com/evera_uae/?hl=en) (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNdkQOO9OvQKGhbt-86p_Bw) (https://www.evera.ae/) Key Take Away“You give certain things up because you are willing to” When we are dipping our toes in the field of sustainability there might be a few things that would be very easy to give up and as your journey progress there might be things that you thought would be hard but they then seem easy as you are more willing to give them up than previously. However, it should all be within balance and do what you can and feel comfortable with. I think we all want to strive to do more, be more but we also need to be aware of our limits and not try to burn ourselves out and then not want to do anything further for Mama Earth. Living a more sustainable life is a journey and not a race.
