Today I am delighted to speak with Rachel Robasciotti, Founder and CEO of Adasina Social Capital, a financial services firm dedicated to supporting the well-being of people and the planet. Our conversation is bold and refreshing and challenges the status quo of what it means to own and operate a financial services institution. I am truly thankful to Rachel for her work, her expertise, her commitment, and her time.Meet Rachel J. Robasciotti:Rachel's passion for social justice investing is rooted in her background as a Black, queer woman and growing up in a community that struggled for safety and financial security within a rural town that was largely segregated.Rachel graduated from high school at age 15 and attended the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied Economics. At age 25, she founded a financial services firm dedicated to supporting the well-being of people and the planet. At the firm – which would later become Adasina Social Capital – Rachel launched its social justice investing strategy. This strategy positioned her as a leader in the financial industry for integrating issues of racial, gender, economic, and climate justice into investment portfolios.In addition, she is a co-creator of the Due Diligence 2.0 Commitment, an effort to transform the investment industry and increase capital flow to Black, Indigenous, and people of color asset managers. For her work, Rachel was recognized as one of the ThinkAdvisor LUMINARIES in Asset Management and named to the Root 100 List of the most influential African Americans. She was recently honored with the 2023 InvestmentNews Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Award, a testament to her dedication to greater DEI efforts in the investment industry.Listen in as Rachel shares:How her identities have led her to the work she does in the financial services spaceWhat Racial Equity means to her and her workHer experience navigating the space as a queer woman of colorHow she includes and accounts for Racial Equity in goal setting within her organization as well as in her work with othersThe importance of relationship building in her work and the need to radical transformation to make it happenHer sources of inspiration and what she wants to be remembered forAnd so much moreConnect with Rachel J.

You Have Time to Die and Go Broke by Linda Salerno-ForandThe healthcare system has turned into a giant labyrinth, which is extremely difficult to navigate. The thought of dealing with a serious or terminal illness is terrifying enough without having to go against the fortress of hospital administrators, health insurance companies and endless waits in doctor's queues just trying to get the care you need. But you can be empowered in learning how to deal with the complex healthcare system getting the best care possible without breaking the bank.Linda Salerno-Forand lives Massachusetts with her dog Rocky and is caregiver to her elderly mother. She was a caregiver to her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband. Her mother-in-in law and father-in-law died of dementia. Her husband died of Pulmonary Fibrosis during covid . This inspired her to write this book to help people get the best care they can dealing with a broken healthcare system.https://www.amazon.com/You.Have-Time-Die-Broke/dp/1669861023www.lsalernoforand.comwww.AuthorReputationPress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/3724lsfarp.mp3   

Greetings, bonjour, what's happeningWelcome to Lager Time, legions of lager-lites, grab your tins, your bottles and your pints. My name is Paul Cree and this is my little podcast and blog where I share bits of my writing: stories, poems, thoughts, sometimes music etc.So what's been happening? A fair bit. Last week I was in rehearsals for a theatre show, Romeo & Julliet at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon. It's a modern retelling, set in Merton, and is all done through live music - Rap, beatbox, singing, guitar and a loop-station. The show opens this Saturday and is aimed at young people, between 9-12 but there should be something for all the family in it. There's over 26 songs in the show that I have to learn, as well as almost a hundred ques that I need to remember. I'm one of the understudies but will be performing between the 10th – 14Th April, much later in the run. Alongside that, it's my usual work with Dream Arts and Fourth Monkey Drama School.Before I get round to introducing the next piece in this little Meditations series, I wanted to hark back to the intro post for this latest season (and also the reason why I started this latest series) where I took about reading books, to chat a little bit about what I've been reading, as I suppose it's relevant. I tend to have a couple of books on the go at one time, one fiction and one non-fiction or light-ish  book.I recently finished ploughing my way through Mister Good Times, which is the autobiography of soul DJ Norman Jay, the man behind the Good Times sound system. It was a decent read as it charts the development of lots of the music that came out of London from the 70's onwards. The book was given to me as a birthday gift, from a good pal of mine, Richard Purnell, who himself is a writer (and wrote one of my favourite blogs about old books with the old dick and balls scibbled in them) Richard has recently started his own Substack blog, which you can find a link to HERE or in the notes of the podcast.So in that Norman Jay book, when he talks about his younger years, getting into football and the like, he mentions reading these Skinhead books by a writer called Richard Allen. The way he talked about them, was that at the time they were some kind of street phenomenon, lots of working-class teens were reading these books; which took my interest. Last month, whilst having a few beers with my two oldest brothers and a few of their old mates, one of them, Dom, by chance was telling me he was re-reading all those Skinhead books. He consequently sent me a link to a BBC documentary from back in the 90's, about the books and the writer, Richard Allen, who seemingly no one knew much about, and was pretty far removed from that culture, yet, he wrote a boat-load of these cult classics, which have become collectors items. So I'm currently reading the first, Skinhead, and it's alright. There's a lot of violence, racism, and sexism - the main character and his mates are horrible, it pulls no punches in that regard, but if it's a snapshot of those times, even if it's somewhat exaggerated, then I think it plays a part. I certainly don't find myself rooting for this main character, he's an anti-hero in that respect – but I'm enjoy it. It reminds me of a lot of Irvine Welsh books, many of which I've read, or that BBC film Made in Britain that Skinnyman sampled on his first album Council Estate of Mind. I wonder if all those people were influenced by these books.Aside from Skinhead, I'm ploughing my way through a book I first read a couple of years ago, called New Class War by Michael Lind, which came out in 2020 I think, if you want to get a good understanding of the political climate of the last few years in the UK and the US it's well worth a read. And I've also been reading a book by the comedian Rob Becket, off the back of other comedians' books - Romesh Ranganathan and Geoff Norcott. All of which make me a laugh a lot more when reading what they've written, than they do when they perform their stand-up; I've no idea why that is.So, continuing with these pieces I've been writing, inspired by the 12 books of Mediations by Marcus Aurelius, this week I get stuck into a quote from Book 5 and it's called On Mad Skills vs Try Hard. Almost half-way through this series, hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.As ever, if you like this odd little niche thing that I'm doing over here, please recommend it to a mate, and if you fancy whipping the wallet out, you can make a donation on my Ko-Fi account, Buy-Me-A-Lager – there's a few copies left of my first book the Suburban, which you can grab on my website alongside a couple of other bits – then of course there's some music on Spotify, Apple, and videos on You Tube and all that caperKeep it Larger   Peas and tatersPaulBUY-ME-A-LAGER - https://ko-fi.com/paulcreeThe Suburban Book: - https://paulcree.co.uk/shop/thesuburbanRomeo & Julliet @ Polka Theatrehttps://polkatheatre.com/event/romeo-and-juliet/Richard Purnell is Writing - By The Factory Wall (Richard Purnell) – Why a Kindle is Not for Mehttps://richardpurnell.org/2011/04/23/why-a-kindle-is-not-for-me/Mister Good Times – Norman Jay MBEhttps://www.waterstones.com/book/mister-good-times/norman-jay/9780349700670Skinhead Farewell – Richard Allen DocumentaryMade In Britain Filmhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084287/Skinnyman – Council Estate of MindOn reading Books – Paul Creehttps://cree.substack.com/p/on-reading-booksOn Mad Skills vs Try HardThey cannot admire you for your intellect. Granted – but there are many other qualities of which you cannot say, ‘but that is not the way I am made'. So display those virtues which are wholly in your own power – integrity, dignity, hard-word, self-denial, contentment, frugality, kindness, independence, simplicity, discretion, magnanimity. Do you not see how many virtues you can already display without any excuse of lack of talent or aptitude? And yet you are still content to lag behind. Or does the fact that you have no inborn talent oblige you to grumble, to scrimp, to toady, to blame your poor body, to suck up, to brag, to have your mind in such turmoil? No, by heaven, it foes not! You could have got rid of all this long ago, and only be charged – if charge there is – with being rather slow and dull of comprehension. And yet even this can be worked on – unless you ignore or welcome your stupidity. BOOK 5 - 5Back in the mid-nineties there was this striker at Millwall called Chris Malkin. I remember we signed him from Tranmere, after we got relegated from what was then Division 1, I think, which is now the Championship, I think. He was a target-man, very tall - scored the majority of his goals with his head, of course. I don't remember him being prolific, but he would get ten to fifteen goals a season.To me, he didn't play or look like a professional footballer. What is a professional footballer even meant to look like?... to a twelve year old at least; but to me back then he looked about 50, like he should be wearing some cheap ill-fitting suit, cheerily teaching science in a secondary school to a load of dis-interested mouthy twelve year-olds, constantly mugging him off - This gangly awkward guy, with dark hair that jumped with all the grace of a giraffe on a bouncy castle; at least that is how I remember him. But the main thing I remember thinking about Chris Malkin, was: how is this geezer a professional footballer?Here's the thing, making that statement would suggest he was shit, he wasn't. He was an effective striker at that level, who had a decent career in the lower leagues. I think for my simple young mind, to be a pro, and a striker at that, you needed to have loads of mad skills. As in overhead kicks, multiple stepovers, taking on ten players and scoring hattricks (not that Millwall ever had anyone like that… except maybe Christophe Kinet, the smoking Belgian) – all the while looking like you're the popular kid in school that gets all the chicks, like the smoking Belgian Christophe Kinet.There were a couple of kids I knew growing up, who I remember as being amazing players: too good for the playground, too good for the school team and too good for the local teams – they both got on the books at professional clubs, Crystal Palace and Southampton I think  - but never quite made it as pro's. How?! I remember thinking, they've got mad skillsI never quite understood it, because when we are at school, what these kids could do with a football was out of this world, so it often made make me ponder If these kids mad skills aren't mad-skills enough - how much in the way of mad-skills do you need to make it as a pro?!Much later in life, in my early twenties, there was another guy I played 5-a side with, who'd played non-league for a stint. He was amazing, so much so that our main tactic was – just give the ball to Matt, and he would ping goals in from impossible angles, using both feet, whenever he felt like it. I believe he got as far the reserves for a sixth-tier side, but never even made it at that level; so, again, I'd think How much mad-skill do you need to make it as a pro??? And what is the average mad-skill level of a pro? Insane skill???Not until many years later, did I start to think, that maybe there is a bit more too it than just being technically brilliant with a  football at your feet. Obviously, just not to me.There's that famous Alex Ferguson quote, which goes something like ‘Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.'Now the case of Chris Malkin, I've no idea if this is true or not, but I imagine he was on that training pitch early every day, putting a 1000% into every drill, following every instruction exactly, attending every charity appearance or children's ward trip at Christmas, boots always clean, performing every task to perfection. And a cursory glance on-line, tells me he's running his own physio-therapy practise, which would suggest he would've had to undergo training for to get certified; which was probably hard work. I think this is how the Neville brothers made it as pros at Man United – they're tactic was just work your bollox off and be as diligent as possible. In my mind, these are the people that mainly make it in the world of professional football and probably life in general. Even the tiny percentile of players who genuinely have mad-skills, like a Ronaldo, have probably dedicated their entire lives to this football caper, obsessively, since they were kids.For the last fifteen years (give or take a few where I had to go back to part-time) I've (just about) made my living (on and off) in the arts, working as a writer and a performer, of sorts. Prior to this, I've had a number of different low-paying jobs, some of which were pretty tough, at times. This job, at times, believe it or not, can be tough, but not tough like grafting on a building site, in the depths of winter, eight hours a day, for not-a-lot-of-dough. The toughness of what I do is in the insecurity of it and the occasional difficulties of trying to work with vulnerable people. I'm self-employed. Most of my money is earned through running workshops or working on community projects, often in and out of educational settings, working with mainly young people, but not always, showing them what I do, or working with them to create something: theatre, poems, music etc – and occasionally, I get paid to perform or write something, that gets performed in some sort of performance-venue, with lights and that.What I do is related to shows: stages and lights, dusty velvet curtains, I guess. Occasionally I'll meet people who'll ask what I do, when I tell them, sometimes, they say something like I'd love to do what you do… which I'm never quite sure how to respond to it, but sometimes, they'll go on elaborate; because:I write songs / I paint / I write poems  / My mates say I'm funny and I should do stand-up  / I was amazing in my school play as the donkey.…  / I wrote this amazing song once…none of which I have any problem with, until it occasionally goes beyond this into the tricker conversational waters of:   I'd love to do what you do…. But how did YOU get to do it?? You?? If I had YOUR luck I would be amazing at what YOU doWhat I often interpret as being implied here is: I'd be much better at it than YOU if I was as lucky YOU, YOU don't deserve to do what YOU doThe latter example, being the bitter one, is quite rare to be fair; but it has happened on a few occasions. The most common comment is I'd love to what you do implying something is stopping them from doing something they want to, due to something beyond their control, like some invisible force of unfairness, which I've somehow avoided.When these rare conversations take place and get to the this point, being the judgemental prick that I can often be, my response in my head to their statement of longing is no, you probably wouldn't want to do what I do, because chances are:you're not going to want to spend half the time skint, and the other half worrying about where the next load of work is coming from.You probably like holidays and probably won't want to go years without a holiday to go on, you probably expect holidays every yearOr more importantly, whilst you're in the formative years of any artistic pursuit long before you get paid even the smallest bit of money for your art:you're not going to want to make the necessary sacrifices, like choosing to not go with your mates on a Friday night, or play computer-games or watch Love Island when you get home from work, so you can work on this weird little arty-thing you do, which they probably won't understand or mug you off forAnd then then once you've got a bit of something that you might want to share to the world:haul your arse round a load of half empty open-mics on a cold Monday evening, where no is listening or you are routinely heckled by drunk locals who think you're a cunt just for stepping in front of a mic, or whatever the laborious soul-destroying equivalent is for other art forms.All of which is necessary, in order to develop and hone your craft. It can also be pretty boring and repetitive. It takes a long time to get even remotely good at something, especially, when you don't have that much talent or self-confidence to begin with; which is true in my case.I've met a few people in the game, who may well have had a shiny spoon hanging out their arse to begin with, or who've had the red-carpet rolled out for them in terms of funding and opportunities, with neither examples having ever earned any of it, but most people I know, who are successful in this, have had to work their arses off and made plenty of sacrifices in order to get where they are. Or they just didn't have many mates in the first place, even then, they've still had to graft and wade through the self-loathing.For all my many faults, and I have many, this is the one thing where I can say I've worked pretty hard at it and made plenty of sacrifices. And look at me, I'm flying, mate…. Well not quite, I'm surviving, just about, but it helps to keep things in perspective for me when I think about the vast majority people who have an artistic craft or passion, but never make anything from it, not that financial gain should be the objective, but it does help, because you need a lot of time to persue this crap and still keep the roof over your head.For me, part of my drive to make a career out of all of this, was that I thought it was the only thing I was remotely good at. I wasn't academic, I had no qualifications and since dropping out of college, I'd worked in a string of low-paying shit jobs, which I myself was mostly shit at; trying to pay bills and have some sort of life on top of that was really hard. It was a pretty miserable existence; minus a few laughs, most of which involved me being drunk or stoned (though there were plenty of times I did turn this down in favour of staying in to do this) – the only other times I remember being happy was sitting on my own, beavering away trying to write rap lyrics or stuff like this. At least doing this, skint or not, I've created some stuff, that exists in the world, that I'm proud of, met tons of people, had some great experiences and made loads of memories. Being a brain surgeon, plumber or programmer just weren't on the cards, mate, maybe this was the only way to live some sort of meaningful life. But to get this far, has involved a lot of sacrifice.A lot of the gigs and opportunities I got, in the early days, were probably because I was in the right place at the right time, so I got lucky in that respect - but I had to put myself into the place, in the first place, in order to be in the right place and make sure I had something to offer should someone notice me there. Most of the work I get now, is from people I've worked with before, or my name has been given to someone, because I turn up and do the best job I can; and I do feel like I have a unique skill-set and a load of experience under my belt, so I have something unique to offer.What I didn't have, at any point, was mad skills. I had some ability, which was undeveloped, as in, I could perform a bit, rap a bit and write a bit but nothing polished or super stand-out. I may have stood-out amongst my friends, none of which did anything like this; but that's easy. Some people are happy being that geezer in the local pub who plays guitar / is well funny / does magic tricks but that was never enough for me. Putting myself into places where there were lots of people like me, doing something similar, but with more talent, or honed skills, experience and confidence, kicked me up the arse to get much better at what I was doing and made me realise I'm not special at all, just another prick in the arty-haystack (see what I done there). So I had to graft, and even then, it's not like I've made it. Whatever that even means.When working with young people, I often come across ones with natural talent, and naturally, they'll shine in the groups they are in, and the groups will want to elevate them to front and centre; even when they don't always deserve it. Whenever I see them not trying that hard, I try my best to implore to them that, it's just now how the game works, and try and paraphrase that Alex Ferguson quote, as opposed to blowing smoke up their arse and letting them sit on their laurels; because life aint that long, and in the end, has little sympathy or patience for a 40 with rapidly fading good looks, who should've been a footballer, painter, actor, rapper, because they had mad skills Get full access to Lager Time at cree.substack.com/subscribe

Why group coaching might be the perfect way to get feedback on your writing.When I was first getting started, I pictured editing like this:A writer writes a manuscript and sends it to their editor. The editor writes feedback and sends it back. The writer takes that feedback and uses it to edit their manuscript.That's the classic form of editing. But it's far from the only form of editing.Editing doesn't even have to be one-on-one. In fact, sometimes group coaching can be exactly what you need!In this episode, I'm breaking down the pros and cons of group coaching for writers.You'll learn:How group coaching combines the best features of critique groups + one-on-one editingWhat you CAN'T learn one-on-one (but you can learn in a group!)One group coaching caveat to watch out forAnd more!Group coaching isn't better than one-on-one editing, or vice versa. It's just different—a different experience that can meet different needs in your writing in a different way.In fact, you might decide to try both group and one-on-one editing at different points in your writing career. So it's great to know what your options are!Links mentioned in the episode:Join the Scene Mastery Workshop waitlist: alicesudlow.com/workshopSupport the showWant more editing tips and resources?

A question from Laura…what is the opposite of fear?Ponder…as you listen to our delve with Aunt Laura…Pixie's aunt to be precise! Laura came onto our show to share some of her magic. We felt like we were so lucky to share this moment with her…twice. We finally felt the pain every podcaster feels…losing a recording and having to tell the guest…and BEG for a re-record. She was so kind to do so! Tune in for Laura's chat, she shares poetry, what she feels works well for her in her daily practice of wellness (spoiler: it's practicing self-compassion, paying deep attention, sleeping often, and more self-compassion).The poems Laura shares can be found here:Stars and Dandelions by Misuzu KanekoDeep in the blue sky…The Color GrayDawn breaks — another cloudy daywith mist and fog — all shades of gray…And lastly, one her of favourite John O'Donohue poems from A Book of BlessingsI bless the night that nourished my heartTo set the ghosts of longing freeInto the flow and figure of dreamThat went to harvest from the darkBread for the hunger no one sees.All that is eternal in meWelcomes the wonder of this day,The field of brightness it createsOffering time for each thingTo arise and illuminate.I place on the altar of dawn:The quiet loyalty of breath,The tent of thought where I shelter,Waves of desire I am shore toAnd all beauty drawn to the eye.May my mind come alive todayTo the invisible geographyThat invites me to new frontiers,To break the dead shell of yesterdays,To risk being disturbed and changed.May I have the courage todayTo live the life that I would love,To postpone my dream no longerBut do at last what I came here forAnd waste my heart on fear no more.Also, something Pixie came across in the Stardust App:At her first bleeding a woman meets her power.During her bleeding years she practices it.At menopause she becomes it.It's a native american saying but hasn't been attributed further.

In today's episode Guilaine reflects on the relationship between racism, neurosis and envy. She begins by going over an earlier article she wrote which expanded on Fanon's theories around these areas and considers neurosis in classic anaylytic theory defining it as phenomena/processes that occur when we can't confront something in the world, or in ourselves, or in others, because it provokes too much anxiety. So that anxiety expresses itself in some other ways, usually unconsciously. She then expands this to think about racialised or White envy. She considers the distinction between jealosy (the wish to possess) and envy (the wish to annihilate)She then talks about how she has come to these conclusions through lived experience and group analysis and psychotherapy. With a side note that often in clinical settings the gaze is turned inwards so the question becomes "What do you do to trigger envy?" rather than understanding that the white subject is born or socialised into their envy. Instead the question could be: "How do you make yourself more resilient?" or "How do you look after yourself?"  And the answer to that is often to connect to your power which means connecting to the very things you are being envied for, not minimising it.She then focuses in on what racialised or white envy looks like in the workplace, sharing experiences and anacdotes and breaking it down into:Dismissing/sabortaging Black authorityNot congratulating/giving praise for achievementsEnvy creating canibalistic/bizarre behavioursShe then expands to think of envy from the wider perspective of it being a cornerstone of white supremacy, partly because racism is about fantasy and disavowed feelings. She finishes by reflecting on ways that people of colour can navigate envy in the workplac that include:AcceptanceNaming it Finding spaces where people are going to listen and think the envy through with youReclaiming for yourself what you are envied forAnd ends with encouraging all workplaces to think and talk about envy.As Guilaine mentiones there is a lot about envy in her upcoming book White Minds that you can pre-order here: https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/white-mindsThe open access article she begins by talking about can be read on the race reflections website here: https://racereflections.co.uk/neuroses-of-whiteness-white-envy-and-racial-violence/And Guilaine has covered envy on the podcast before here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1623760/8728416-envySubscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.To send us your queries, questions and dilemmas please email atwork@racereflections.co.uk

In this episode I talk about the reason we hold ourselves back from doing ALL that we came here to do.  I mean, really … we get to lean into FEAR or we get to lean on faith.  That's it.  We spend SO much time sitting in fear of potential doom but what if NONE of those doomsday possibilities were ever going to come true?  We hold ourselves back from potential, because of bullshit fear.I hope this episode allows you to take that risk, to do ONE thing you have always wanted to do … and have FUN just following the nudges.Sandrap.s. One thing thats really important to me is to offer women coaching options at varying degrees of support and cost.  It really pisses me off that women who are just starting out, cannot access high level coaches knowledge without selling a car or remortgaging their home.  If you are looking for a coach who can help you STEP INTO the life you are meant for, check out my coaching options here:https://www.thefengshuichick.ca/the-levelsSandra's Quotable:  “Let's try it and see what happens!"John O'Donahue - "A morning offering” (excerpt)May I have the courage todayTo live the life that I would love,To postpone my dream no longerBut do at last what I came here forAnd waste my heart on fear no more.Luckily, I'm here for the messy bits. ;) If you're wishing to find out how you can work with me (or how I can help), you can sign up for a 15 min call here: https//calendly.com/thefengshuichick/discovery-call-free >>> Join my free decluttering challenge www.thefengshuichick.ca/room4miracles >>> Sign up to receive the BEST monthly newsletter ever: www.thefengshuichick.ca/newsletter >>> Follow me on Facebook www.facebook.ca/spriestley >>> Follow me on Instagram for highlights and the odd time I post in my stories ;) www.instagram.com/sandrarpriestley

SummaryKey TakeawaysLast time we talked, I had opened up the possibility of talking mentorship with you and we didn't get a chance to touch on it. In your experience, how important is it to find a mentor?The importance of a mentor is directly proportional to the importance you've set on your goals and your developmentIf you're one of those “i'm just happy to be here” kind of people, a mentor will probably feel unnecessary to youIf you're someone who has a target in mind (ie. I'm a manager and I want to be CMO someday, or I started a side hustle and I want to turn it into a full-time gig), it's a critical component on your journey to your goal to find a mentor (or a few!)What should a person look for in a mentor?Someone who has already achieved the goal you've set for yourself (NOT someone whose overall achievements are inspirational to you)Meaning – if you have a goal to be a CMO, find someone who currently is or has been a CMOThis is NOT – I want to pursue X as a mentor because I think they live a really cool life and I want to be them“Never meet your heroes”Someone's life & success often is not as it seemsIt is incredibly difficult & unlikely to mirror your entire life after someone else'sYou'll fall flat in conversations if you're not clear on what you're looking to learnSomeone who is/was in your industry or one that's adjacent to yoursThis leads to a natural progression of networking opportunitiesAlso cuts through the “language barrier” of having to over-explain your role/industry to glean meaningful recommendations toward your goalSomeone who is fairly accessible and open to continued communicationGoes without saying, but cold-calling a CEO of a Fortune 500 company probably won't get you anywhereSomeone with limited time can be great for a one-time conversation (you can learn a hell of a lot in one phone call), but would not work as a long-term mentorSomeone with a communication style that matches your ownBy this I mean – you both prefer meeting in person, scheduling phone calls, sending emails, etc.If you don't like talking on the phone and your prospective mentor keeps scheduling calls, it's probably not going to work over timeHave you been a part of any orgs that formalize the process of finding and having a mentor?Once, professionally, and it was the worst thing in the world!In one of my previous roles, it was a requirement for new hires as part of the onboarding process to attend quarterly “coffee chats” with a randomly-assigned mentor who may or may not be in your departmentMentorship has to be something both parties want to do & are ready forAnd some of the best mentors operate outside the confines of a defined mentorship relationshipDoes/should you mentor change over the course of your career?They can, but they don't have toInstances where they do change:Your goal changesYour mentor falls out of sync with your goalsYour mentor can no longer dedicate the time to youRecommend having more than one mentor at all times:Ensures you're hearing a diverse perspective of experiences & insightsEnsures you're not leaning too heavily on one particular personMentorship burnout can be realWhat are your best tips for early career professionals in this biz on being a good mentee?Be thoughtful in your approach to learning from your mentorAsk detailed questions, not a general “how did you do X”Don't ask something you can readily find on Google, but do use information you find as a launchpad to ask something else; ie. “I saw on LinkedIn you were at X company as CMO, what about that company made you want to accept that position there?”Be respectful of your mentor's timeShow the hell up if you schedule somethingRemember it's a two-way streetA good mentor is invested in your successIf they don't show up to something you've agreed on & scheduled, consider walking awayYou can walk away from a mentor if it's not working out for youWe often have such high expectations walking into conversations with strangers, and occasionally it can turn out nothing like what you expectedDo you want to shout out to any of your mentors?My current manager, Pamela!I legitimately think she would shy away from officially being called a “mentor,” but has been my guiding light in my careerShe helped shape my approach to mentorship, personal development & how I operate in my role:“Your value is not in what you know, but how you think.”CreditsProduced by: Creative Force - creativeforce.ioEdited by: Calvin Lanz Sound - clsound.netHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com

Marc-Antoine est un athlète de haut niveau avec une histoire touchante et inspirante. Ce jeune papa a commencé la course à pied il y a un peu plus de cinq ans, à la naissance de son fils Noah. À travers les années, sa pratique de la course a évolué en symbiose avec son rôle de père et de conjoint. D'abord comme passe-temps afin de garder la forme, ls course est devenue un véritable mode de vie qui l'amène à se lancer dans des défis et des aventures plus grandes que nature! Chaque année, pour souligner l'anniversaire de Noah, Marc-Antoine se lance dans un défi ambitieux auquel il donne une vocation caritative en amassant de fonds pour le Regroupement pour la Trisomie 21. En 2020, il avait couru pendant 21 heures consécutives dans une température caniculaire, totalement 130 kilomètres. En juin 2021, Marc-Antoine a complété le parcours de 55 km du Bromont Ultra à 5 reprises en 5 jours, pour totaliser plus de 250 kilomètres. Que fera-t-il pour les 6 ans de Noah en 2022? Ça promet! Marc-Antoine excelle également dans les ultramarathons organisés, notamment sur le 160 km du Bromont Ultra où il est également monté sur la 2e marche du podium avec un chrono de 23h22. Le 4 décembre dernier, son texte Courir pour Noah a remporté le prix du meilleur récit lors de La racine d'or, le gala de la communauté québécoise de trail. Bonne écoute!

What if you could only take with you into tomorrow what you are thankful for today?  Would that change how you look at things and value them?  Probably so.   Being thankful is powerful.  It can completely change things by changing how you view your circumstances and world.  You will probably never see a thankful person who is unhappy, but you will likely see lots of ungrateful people who never seem to be happy.  There is a connection between being thankful and being happy.  In today's podcast we discuss: The connection between happiness and being thankfulYou can control your thoughtsHow to be thankful even when it seems  we have nothing to be thankful forAnd more!We also answer a question about what to do if things get tense with your spouse, kids, or family at Thanksgiving.  Since 1994, Rick and Rebekah Porterfield have used Biblical relationship principals to help many couples around the world find success and happiness in marriage.  We know firsthand that even the best marriages can get better, and the worst marriages can be saved.   To go deeper, click here to visit our website www.marriagebythebook.orgOr, click here to check out our author page and products on Amazon

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is a popular route for advancing one's career, learning new skills, growing a network, and overall expanding opportunities in the world of business. Yet, there are significant costs associated with pursuing this level of higher education. So is it worth it? How do you measure the value of and MBA and determine whether it's right for you?To shed light on this important topic, we've invited Tim Munyon, Associate Professor of Management at the Haslam College of Business (University of Tennessee) and Managing Partner at Red Castle Human Capital, to share his perspective from both the faculty and employer standpoint. Specifically, we discuss:Advantages of the traditional MBA as compared to niche Masters degrees or part-time / online MBA programsWhy an MBA is useful for entrepreneursDoes the best value come from Top 20 business schools, or is "fit" more important for maximizing the degree?The costs one needs to consider beyond tuitionThe ROI of an MBA -- in terms of increased salary as well as less tangible but equally-important benefitsThe value of the network you develop during business school — and is it actually the most important value component of an MBA?Whether a 2-year program is preferable to a 1-year program from an ROI perspectiveWhat employers look for in MBAs, and why it's still a sought-after degree from a hiring standpointWho an MBA is right for, and who it might not be ideal forAnd more!If you're wrestling with the decision of whether or not to make the time and financial investment in pursuing an MBA, the insight Tim shares in this interview will help you immensely. And if you're already set on going back to business school, I think you'll come away from this episode even more excited about what you're in store for and the value you'll get from your MBA.

https://youtu.be/bIjcCT9HYl0 In this episode we're going to talk about hiring a financial advisor and one questionYou should never hire a financial advisor without asking firstThis is the only one aio financialSeries with Bill and Jason we discuss personal financial issues including insuranceinvestments retirement planning estate planning and taxesLittle of everything Letta anything to do with personal financesAbsolutely. Well, thank you for joining us heresothe questionWill just get right into it that you should never hire a financial adviser without asking first is how do they get compensated?for what they do for you, sothere's a lot of IguessMystery about this within the industry for a lot of clientsSo it's not always transparent as far as how your advisor is getting paidAnd so we want to kind of break it down for you the different ways that advisors get paidWhat we believe is the best way to go and what you should look forAnd then just kind of get into some of those details with you to help you make that decisionSo when you're looking for an advisor, you can make a well informed decisionYeah, that's a great question is how they're getting compensated and there's three main types of advisors. There are fee onlyFiduciary financial planners who are getting compensated only by the clientsthere are Commission brokers or Commission advisors who are much more common than fee only and they're gettingCompensated by the products. They're selling to clients andthen there's a mix this fee based orCommission and feeAdvisers who are getting some of both they're getting a fee from the client. Plus they're getting compensated from the products. They're sellingyeah, and so as you might guess thethe way that you're probably going to be mostAs an advisor is if you're getting a flat feeto manage the account or to manage their entire financial plan andYou don't get paid for specific products because in the financial industry certain products pay a much highercommission than othersSo for example an annuity versus a CD a lot of timesYou'll see an advisor use an annuity in place of a CD or something similar to itthe annuity will pay a huge Commission the CD next to nothing if anything about soThat that's the type of thing that you want to be consideringBecause it may make a big difference to that advisor as far as what they recommend for you now both might be sort ofOkay, but how do you know that?They're really making that decision based onWhat's best for you versus what's going to earn them a higher paycheck at the end of the month, soyeah, and in addition tothe unbiasness if you're compensated differently for different products, there's also just theTransparency of it. It's not really clear in most cases how much theadvisor is gettingcompensated by selling you a CD versus an annuity versus a bond fund versusYou know other products there can be upfrontCommissions that they get paid there can be ongoingPayments that they're receiving for this products for the productsThere could be penaltiesif you get out of the product like an annuity ahead of time that you might not be aware of so that they're gettingCompensated no matter what once you you've gotten into itSo the unbiasness, but also just how much it is so the fee only advisors they're charging you a fee it's very clearHow much it is it's their only compensation. There's no otherKickbacks for referrals or any other compensation that's given to themYeah, exactly. Soyou know something else too to bring up we were kind of looking at stats on this so out of about300,000 financial advisors and financial planners in the US Oh only somewhere around17% are on the fee only basis, soIt's not the most commonI guess scenario out thereSo if you currently have an advisor, it's definitely worth looking into to see how they're getting paidAnd definitely if you're you know shopping for a new one or the first financial planner that you've worked withIt's important to understand thatBefore you assign any s...
