Strong Towns members Charles and Whitney Coats are a husband and wife duo doing important work to increase housing opportunities in their home state of Texas. After spending two years in the Peace Corps in the Republic of Georgia (where they saw firsthand what it was like to live in a walkable, traditionally-designed neighborhood) to working for Habitat for Humanity today (where they help neighbors who wouldn’t otherwise be able to to access homeownership), Charles and Whitney are passionate about serving others and building strong towns.   They’ve been actively bringing Strong Towns conversations and ideas into their work at Habitat for Humanity and educating their colleagues about this message of financial resilience, built from the bottom up. They even started a podcast to discuss housing issues with fellow Texans.     The Coats are also involved in statewide efforts to reform housing policy. Charles serves on the board of a group called Texans for Housing, which is currently working to promote more flexible zoning laws, eliminating parking minimums and other steps that will enable more Texans to access and afford their own homes. In this episode of the Bottom-Up Revolution podcast, hosted by Rachel Quednau, Charles and Whitney share their insights on how to speak to people from different political persuasions and geographic backgrounds to find common ground on housing issues, and how to make arguments for Strong Towns principles in a manner that can best be received by the leader or resident being appealed to. For Charles and Whitney, efforts to build stronger towns start with the simple act of loving your place, observing where your neighbors struggle, and then taking the small steps to make life better and more resilient for all.

Recently Charles was reminded about the moment in his life where he realized he loved to make people laugh. So the topic he brought to the table is “when did you know that you could do ________”. For Charles it was to make people laugh. We talk about being an entertainer, writer, editor, and many other things. It goes to show that even when you know that doesn't mean you do it. And also that you can be who you are at any age.

For Charles and Stephanie Wesco and their eight children, life was hard. They were raising support to become missionaries in West Africa.

What is Dropshipping? Dropshipping is the concept of being a reseller without investing capital. In Dropshipping, the merchandise will not go through you. Strat Quad has been operational for 5 months. How long has Dropify been operational? Dropify started on January 6, 2020. But in the short time that Dropify has been out, they have already garnered around a hundred clients. Why do these people want to do dropshipping? What's in it for them? Before delving deeper into drop shipping, Charles gave us a bit of context about how it is successful in other countries. In America, the majority of the population uses their credit cards when paying for online transactions. They pay immediately after their purchase. That's considered drop-shipping because the customer was the one that paid for the product before the back-end people fulfill the order. In the Philippines, most, if not all customers prefer cash on delivery. No one wants to shell out money before the product reaches them. To be considered a drop shipper, you must not pay for anything during the process. In this case, the risk falls on the supplier. When the merchandise arrives, that's the only time that the customer will pay Dropify which in turn serves as the middleman that pays both the supplier and the seller. How does Dropify handle Payments? There are two types of suppliers. Commodity or general items, and Brands. Charles mentioned that brands have their own rules. They don't like it when their pricing is changed and when their marketing standards aren't met. Dropshippers working with brands are more like agents. You get a commission of around 10% for the sales that you do. Why would people choose to dropship with brands? There's a marketing principle called Flexicombo. This is when a seller markets bundles of different items with branded merchandise, increasing the overall value of that bundle. Some people like working with brands because they can increase the value of the other things that they sell. Those who sell generic items can also receive incredible profit just by being smart and effective with how they market their products. Essentially, drop shippers are salespeople and marketers. These kinds of people that don't have the capital and don't like the thought of bubble wraps and the waybills, can choose to be drop shippers and make it work. How are the hundred drop shippers of Dropify? The majority of Dropify's Drop shippers are active. But their talents are extremely evident. Some of them are soaring high, some of them are slowly growing, and some of them are struggling with it. For Charles, dropshipping is really just another talent-based business. What are the platforms that you use? Charles emphasizes Lazada and Shopee, while Shopify and Woocommerce might still need a few negotiations, particularly with couriers. The processes are completely different. The money is with the couriers when it comes to cash on delivery. Working with couriers is a completely different ball game.

Pope Francis's disastrous record includes betraying suppressed Chinese Catholics, failure on sex abuse, and surrounding himself with disreputable characters who are causing immense damage to the Church, claims conservative commentator Charles Coloumbe on this week's #SWYSI. As for his native land, people would be shocked to discover what a controversial figure Francis is today in Argentina, argues Charles -- suggesting this might explain why he has yet to return there. These are a few of the many failings of Pope Francis according to Traditional Catholic Charles Coulombe. For Charles, the basic premise of the Netflix production "The Two Popes", namely that Pope Francis was more saintly than Benedict XVI, reversed reality. Turning to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Charles argues that Meghan, willingly and knowingly entered a system (the Royal Family) that she neither liked nor believed in -- and proceeded to try to change it and completely transform Prince Harry. "If you don't like it, don't do it!". Charles believes that, for all her many faults, even The Duchess of Windsor (Wallace Simpson) would have made a better job of this than Meghan has. This is because The Duchess of Windsor believed in the institution of Monarchy and understood the role -- a role she craved. As an American Trad Catholic Monarchist from liberal Los Angeles, conservative commentator Charles Coulombe's traditionalism has been forged and tested at the coal face. This -- along with his early career as a stand-up comic -- may explain his successes in public debates and as a columnist and contributing editor for publications such as the National Catholic Register. He frequently contributes to publications including the Catholic Herald, American Thinker and New Oxford Review. Charles is the author of over 15 books primarily on British and European Monarchy & Catholicism but also on the pleasure of alcohol, titles include: "Vicars of Christ: History of the Popes"; "The Star Spangled Crown: A Simple Guide To The American Monarchy"; and "The Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI". Charles Coulombe has his own YouTube podcast, TUMBLAR HOUSE, which may be visited via this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiYNKjd0Xvj5GE5dr-9n65A

In preparation for his investiture as the Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle, Prince Charles is sent to spend a term at Aberystwyth University. For Charles this is an opportunity to connect with the Welsh people and their language, as well as his own identity as a member of the royal family. For the Queen and her government, however, it is a chance to ease relations with the growing Welsh Nationalist movement. In this episode, Edith Bowman talks with Executive Producer Suzanne Mackie, Director Christian Schwochow and meets the talent behind Prince Charles in season 3, actor Josh O’Connor. The Crown: The Official Podcast is produced by Netflix and Somethin’ Else, in association with Left Bank Pictures.

For Charles, Bitcoin will not be the currency of the future. Rather, it's going to be the technology of the future. Blockchain in particular. Bitcoin is not perfect. The currency system worldwide has its flaws and has gone through several major changes. Long ago, gold was the standard. Now it's technically oil, and it seems as if data is going to be the next contender. Oil is most likely the currency of the present, but it's slowly losing its influence because of people like Elon Musk. Charles idolizes Elon. Especially when it comes to his ideas and resolve to change the world no matter what the cost. Going back to bitcoin, Charles was one of the few people that I know that invested in Bitcoin early on.   What made you invest early in bitcoin?   Charles wanted to believe that there was something better than the currency system before. He got the idea to invest as he was reading through an I.T. forum. What he read led to him researching thoroughly about bitcoin. Although there was barely enough data during that time, Charles was willing to take the risk and invest in this new concept. At the time, the most convenient way to collect bitcoin is to use a miner. Again, through his meticulous research, Charles found a secondhand miner from Bicol. The original owner was kind enough to teach him how to operate the heavy machine. In the end, Charles was able to mine enough bitcoin to fund the establishment of a building. He took advantage of the early years of bitcoin and stopped in 2015 when other countries built mining factories which led to small-time miners losing their relevance, During his three years of mining bitcoin, Charles was able to sell his bitcoin to a company that sells it overseas. Today, Charles doesn't dabble in bitcoin anymore, but his inclination to blockchain remains. He wants to create his own blockchain technology within the cloud. Charles wants to create a decentralized cloud. The concept of a decentralized cloud lets people register their personal computers to the cloud so that other people can share their RAM, storage, and processing power. This lets people earn by sharing what they already have. Aside from that, it will also increase the security of your data since it will be dispersed and encrypted within multiple storage units.  What drives you to do these innovations? Charles sees himself like Elon Musk. He is willing to bring change and go against the status quo to achieve something better. He is a true innovator inside and out.

Welcome back to the Instant Impact podcast with Elyse Archer! On today’s show, Elyse has Charles Specht, a coach at The Permissions Group where he teaches insurance agents how to build a million-dollar book of business. Charles is an expert in helping people stand out against the crowd and rise above the noise in a crowded industry.    Charles got his start working as a commercial insurance broker in 2000 before eventually shifting to a consultation position. That entailed helped large businesses oversee the agent they brought on. While he was doing this, he noticed how difficult it was for clients to trust their agents. This is when Charles pivoted into helping agents build trust through their planning and branding.    In his industry, it’s often a price game. To avoid getting caught in the rat-race, Charles talks about how he helps his clients focus on their strengths. This can be anything from their passions to what it is exactly their firm can provide. A key part of this is finding a personal micro-niche. His process of finding that niche includes something he calls “C-3” or “Cold Call Carrot.” This is one statement that separates you from your competition. This statement includes who your work is for, what the rewards are, and how you get the job done.    Charles also mentions how important it is to know what your client “ceiling” is. As he says, it’s better to go small than to go big. What he means is finding that perfect number of clients you can reasonably service, and build your micro-niche from there.    By nailing down who you are trying to help and how you can solve problems they may be having, you can establish trust. Charles shares some actionable things we can do to establish that trust quickly. One of those things is showing prospects a timeline of what working with you could look like. By providing, in writing, specific solutions, trust can be built almost instantly. Another way to establish trust with a prospect is to provide testimonials. If you can say, show, and have other people back you up on what you’re an expert in, you’re much more likely to gain that vital trust.    Finally, Charles and Elyse talk about the fine line of how much we put our personal lives out there on social media for everyone to see. For Charles, authenticity is a great way to build trust. People are attracted to transparency because they are able to relate to you on a human level.    What you’ll learn in this episode   In today’s episode, Charles shares some surprising tips on how to earn the trust of your prospect or existing clients. He gives us a window into how he helps people establish that trust through Cold Call Carrots, a statement of what puts you above the rest. He offers insight into building your brand on transparency and authenticity while providing excellent service through problem-solving.    Links http://permissionsgroup.com/ Find Charles on Facebook and LinkedIn: Charles Specht Request a free Brand Strategy Call: http://thebrandbuildersgroup.com/callelyse

Trust matters when it comes to customer experience. People line up at the Apple Store's Genius Bar in part because they've come to trust that they will get a great customer experience. Whether you're a B2B or B2C, how can you create trust with your customers? To find the answers, I spoke with Charles H. Green, CEO of Trusted Advisor Associates. He's the author of Trust-Based Selling: Using Customer Focus and Collaboration to Build Long-Term Relationships and The Trusted Advisor Fieldbook: A Comprehensive Toolkit for Leading with Trust. For Charles, you create trust by focusing on building a long-term relationship instead of focusing on the current transaction. Charles suggests that you engage in active listening to make your prospects and customers feel like you understand how they're feeling.

Eaves drop on a private conversation between 2 humans (us) who are working through living life and re-establishing routine. This is the conversation that surrounds the conflict and clash of 2 worlds, adventure vs. routine...hum....don't worry we end with fun stories about my small bladder and a wonderful human who made an epic contraption in Rincon! We survived our first week of school and the podcast launch! Charles and I talk through the recreation of our lives and the activities that we want to be a part of, it may or may not get a lil heated! Does life ever look different than how you imagined it? Charles goes through some of those "images" that he believed we would have. We talk through extra curricular activities and some of the emotional aspects of this experience.  When you imagine something in life does not always mean that is what it will look like. For Charles, he thought this 6 months would be different, maybe even one long vacation.  We take a deep breath and talk about the cool new experiences we are having here in Puerto Rico. If you are curious about how we have transitioned to life here, this is a good one to listen to. For more info head to www.gypsyfam.com and connect on FB Gypsy Fam
