Have you ever wondered how a simple act of gift-giving could evolve into a movement of sustainable community support? Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Lisa Marino, the visionary CEO and founder of Dopple Registry, who turned her struggles during financial hardship into a platform that redefines how families receive essential services. We discuss Lisa's groundbreaking approach to gifting, shifting from traditional one-time presents to an inclusive system that emphasizes the power of community, allowing budget-constrained friends and family to contribute towards much-needed recurring necessities like childcare and therapy sessions. Lisa candidly shares how her personal journey, enriched by her background in tech mergers and acquisitions, drove her to innovate in this $100 billion market, aiming to transform life milestones into meaningful, collective experiences. Embark on a journey with Lisa as she shares her insights on raising independent children and the emotional transition to becoming an empty nester. Experience how her past challenges, including a divorce and discovering passions like snowboarding, fuel her commitment to leaving a lasting legacy that supports lower and middle-income households. Lisa's story is not just about business innovation but also about personal growth and the drive to make a difference. Her work with Dopple reflects a mission to connect families with vital resources and support networks. This episode is a tribute to the power of community, personal resilience, and the profound impact of meaningful work.

Your Heard Tell Show for Thursday, September 14th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the politics of information, and how we are using our social media intake of news media to view the world. Jill Jacobson returns with the latest example of civil asset forfeiture, how it became abused, and what real reform would look like and take. Then, we talk through a piece by Steven Allen Adams from his Reporter's Notebook feature on covering the debate over higher education and the mess at WVU and how the outrage, or lack there off, is a telling part of the story. Plus, social psychologist and researcher Dr. Aaron Pomerantz joins Heard Tell to talk how the Barbie movie was the latest fodder for the mostly online culture wars, but the massive success of the film exposed some folks who are just plugging things into the ongoing narratives that fuel their audiences, especially conservative men and bro influencers. Also, Dr. Pomerantz talks about how to have healthier discussions about touchy cultural issues, and the psychology behind culture wars as an online and new medis model.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxQuestions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

Whether you are just starting your business or looking to grow, today's show is perfect for you! Lauren Schwartz shares a ton of pro tips and tricks on how to get attention online using creative advertising - and more! Lauren describes her business as “a small design studio with a knack for simplicity.” With over 15 years of experience, she serves as a creative director and strategist for e-commerce brands. Her profitable ad campaigns have been used by top brands on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Google. Lauren’s mission is to help brands grow by affecting performance throughout a customer’s journey, from prospect acquisition all the way through to post-purchase experiences. BUSINESS BUILDING INSIGHTSLearn creatively what works for you and the passion and hustle will come along with it. It’s about trial and error. Figure out what works for you AND the people you’re selling to. Showing people why they need your product in their lives is a big part of selling online. There are so many places people can purchase online - people don't understand why they should choose to buy from small business. How To Get Attention Online For Your eCommerce BusinessTo build an audience for small business in eCommerce: You have to get yourself out there and engage with clients. FB Lives, Instagram, Stories, and Reels are a great way to put a face on your brand, show off products, and engage people with what you're selling. Share your story to engage them in your product and move through the customer journey toward buying. Engage with people commenting on posts of businesses with a similar audience to yours (competitors or related businesses). Use advertising to get attention online: FYI - Boosting posts on FB doesn't really do anything for your engagement.

Saying ‘Yes’ - we’ve already heard about the benefits of saying ‘no’ - but what about saying ‘yes’? It’s a great answer to give when someone invites you over, or offers you a doughnut. It’s also great to say ‘yes’ to budgeting and saving money. If you’re sure you don’t want to say ‘no’, then say ‘yes’!! But definitely don’t say ‘maybe’. Saying ‘yes’ - the next best thing to saying ‘no’. Notable Notes: This article from the Penny Hoarder goes above and beyond and offers 100 free gift ideas! While that's way more suggestions than what we need, there are some real decent recommendations! What Jen and Jill have to say: We love tip #1 - make bread! This can be fancy for very cheap or free think fruit breads OR other types! Regifting! We're not above it! #37 - give a month of letters - what a great idea for showing someone value! Check out local buy nothing group, craigslist free, etc. for items people in your life might like #8 - give a personalized recipe book - gather your favorite recipes and give them as a gift - great idea for all those cooks out there with people always asking for recipes! #22 - passing along ‘heirlooms’; and other things lying around the house - this can be very meaningful (if you are willing to part with these items!) #28-35 - gifts that honor memories; think family tree, videos, framed pictures, etc. #60 Amazon trade in Give the gift of labor (house cleaning, car wash, etc.) DIY some gifts, check out CraftGawker for inspiration! More from the Internet: This article from Oprah gives another perspective on the whole idea of gift giving. A family shares about their experience in deciding to have a 'gift-free' Christmas and what they realized in the processed. It's certainly something worth considering - many reasons! More from Jen and Jill: We love this idea, but it is worth considering whether other members of your family will be on board. For those who really enjoy gift exchanging - let them have their fun! Consider investing in time spent with one another rather than gifts that may or may not get thrown away.

Millennials are leading the way when it comes to modern savings. There's a strong trend towards gifting experiences over stuff that's honestly really refreshing, and we're seeing this trend with children's gifts as well. Play yards and plastic trucks are great, but what about gifting your child (or someone you know) with money towards their goals like college or even buying a house in the future? Today's podcast guest, Mimi Chan, is sharing how her company, Littlefund, is shaking things in the world of gifting.What You'll LearnWhy we needed a gift-giving evolution in this countryWhat's prompted the trends towards giving experiences over stuff and how that is changing the way we view our financesHow to give monetary gifts towards future goals for your children or your friends' children (hint, great for the holidays)How growing up with immigrant parents shaped Mimi's own money story and her drive to start Littlefund Links MentionedLittlefundStockpile (fractional stock shares)Collegebacker (for 529 savings)More about LittlefundLittlefund, a modern gifting platform that makes it easy for family and friends to gift savings towards a child’s goals with an FDIC insured account which earns interest of 1% APY that compounds daily. So it truly is the gift that keeps on giving (and at a rate higher than the average savings account to boot). Accounts can be set up by parents with short-term goals such as a trip to Disneyland or swim lessons, or longer range goals like saving for college. Gifters can send a Littlefund gift at any time by using a parent’s email address as the family being gifted does not need to have a Littlefund account in advance.SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWWant to be the first to know when new episodes are released?

Obstacles in life can turn into opportunities for starting over and reinventing yourself. When Candis Hickman moved to the U.S. from Australia in 2011, she gained a life partner but the move also mean professional sacrifices and the loss of her credentials as an occupational therapist. Through determination and belief in herself Candis set out to find her voice and forge a new career path in the spotlight. Now as a personal branding and digital marketing coach in Miami, Candis helps women define their unique stories and become known. In today’s episode we are discussing: How setbacks and failures can be the springboard for a new beginning How to let go of who you were to become the person you want to be How to dream bigger instead of settling for “just enough.” Why you should quickly respond to inspiration and intuitive ideas What you gain from failing and how to turn it into a new opportunity Why spirit matters more than strategy What to do when manifesting only gets you halfway to your dreams Candis Hickman believes that becoming known is every woman’s birthright, and that each of us has the potential to make an unforgettable impression on the world. But to become known in a noisy, judgemental world takes authenticity, courage and a distinct sense of style. This is why Candis teaches spirit-led female entrepreneurs how to create their stand-out brand with a unique blend of creativity and soul. Born and raised in Australia, Candis started her career as an Occupational Therapist. When a move to the United States in 2011 resulted in the loss of her professional credentials, she was forced to reinvent herself. Working a minimum wage job at the mall by day and posing as a socialite by night, Candis set out to find her voice and forge a new career path in the spotlight.With zero on-camera experience, she landed a role as the host for WJYS’ Urban Access TV. From notable interviews with music icons Ice-Cube, Twista & Sway Calloway, to George Kotsiopoulos of E!’s Fashion Police & Nazr Mohammed of the Chicago Bulls, Candis slowly established her personal brand in the local market, proving that good branding can triumph over formal business training.In early 2017 Candis relocated to Miami, Florida where she launched her online coaching business teaching female entrepreneurs how to build their profitable personal brand. Her work has been featured in Time Out Miami magazine, Fete Lifestyle Magazine, Voyage MIA Magazine, The Gifters podcast, and the popular Chicago-based video magazine Glossed & Found, to name a few. She is also the founder of The Miami Girl; a growing community of over 600 creative business-women in the South Florida area.

“A lot of people get to a point in their lives when they are so done with the 9-5,” says today's PYP MVP Sue Monhait. “They may be 60, or 65 and ready for something else. But there's only so many times they can work out, or play golf or tennis. A lot of people have crafts they enjoy that they can turn into a business.”   Sue loves the wonderful community she serves known as Gifters-Bakers-Crafters-Makers. She is known as the Gift Biz Gal and has worked in the retail and online spaces for over 25 years. After 15 years in corporate sales/marketing to both boutique shops and larger brands, she went on to open two profitable businesses of her own.   I mentioned how much I love Marcus Lemonis and his popular show on CNBC called “The Profit.” Sue told me he often comes to the coffee shop right below where she works. “If you're listening to this show, Marcus, you need to stop by and say hello!” Sue laughed. “And I'd love to have you on my show!” I added. So Marcus, if you're listening, consider this an invitation to share your story here on PYP. :-) Today Sue Monhait owns The Ribbon Print Company, a gold-standard business offering custom ribbon printing systems so businesses can provide product personalization right in their store or craft studio, Sue-Circle-Blue. She has been identified as an industry leader and trendsetter. She has created her own proprietary software program, Design and Print™, and a specialty brand of ribbon, Pretty Print™ Ribbon, that is sold exclusively through The Ribbon Print Company. Other industry firsts are an online training program supporting customers worldwide as well as a membership Design Vault – again focused on the needs of their customer base. Recently, Sue identified the need within the gifting, baking, crafting, and designing spaces, for a leader to help entrepreneurs set up their businesses to become profitable and sustainable entities. Pulling from her vast experience, she has started coaching and speaking to guide entrepreneurs who have a hobby or creative passion that they want to turn into a business. She also works with existing business owners who have gotten stuck or are looking for that one thing that's needed for them to gain traction and move ahead. As host of the Gift Biz Unwrapped Podcast, she provides free content weekly to assist those searching for answers on how to start and grow their business.   Connect with me on social media and use the hashtag #pyp !

People who create or sell handmade products and are in the process of, or already have started their own business out of their hobby or craft. I have learned so much hosting Gift Biz Unwrapped. Actually I pick up something new from each and every interview I do. Thank you to all my past guests. You have helped me produce a show that is giving value and encouragement to many. I have a great lineup ahead too. So do keep listening! At this milestone, I want to reflect on what’s been presented so far. I think you’ll find it interesting. I did. 3 Common ThreadsFrom my time working trade shows with my business The Ribbon Print Company (http://www.theribbonprintcompany.com) , and from the answers I get on the show, I have found three common questions and equally similar answers come up time and time again. These are questions that people struggle with as they consider starting their own business. And they are questions that people rethink during the inevitable times when they bump up against challenges as business owners. I find it fascinating that the answers and solutions are repeated so frequently. Due to this, I put a lot of weight into their credibility and reliability. I want to start a business but what should it be?So many creators have the desire to start a money making venture on the side or to replace their full time job. But what should it be? As creators our love and talents may spread across a variety of areas. Here are three Identification Points of how our listeners have figured this out for themselves. What did you love to do in the carefree days of your childhood? Donna – Royalty Cookies (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/donnaalufonhai/) Ronda – Cocoa Cabana (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/thecocoacabana/) What sparks a passion inside of you? What gets your heart beating a little faster? Mike – Rwanda Bean (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/rwandabean/) Tracy – Icing Smiles (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/icingsmiles/) Stacey – Shopping for a Change (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/staceyhorowitz/) Keep your eye out for a single event or moment that gives you the idea of a lifetime. Claudia – Exclamations! Gifts (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/claudia-johnson/) Bill – Cookies in a Snap (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/cookiesinasnap/) Amy – Marshmallow MBA (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/marshmallowmba/) Cathy – Cathy Nolan Art (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/cathynolan/) What do I actually do to get started?This is another spot where people freeze. They have their idea but it continues to be in their mind and not in their reality. It’s because the idea of taking action becomes overwhelming. How do you actually start? What do you do first? In each episode, I ask this question. The responses are similar but different. I do this for your benefit. Listen to these people and model their actions. The trick is to do something … take action … start! Kara – Kara’s Vineyard Wedding (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/karasvineyardwedding/) Karyn – Little Pink Ladybug (http://giftbizunwrapped.com/littlepinkladybug/) Common success traits of small business ownersThis is the honest truth. Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner. This is evidenced by how many businesses open shop online and then the site lays dormant. Or they open in a retail shop only to close within the first year. Do you have what it takes? Consider these traits.
