Like, really trying hard. A couple years ago, Alex spent some time working with Coach Hazel Findlay and realized that she needed to work on her own try-hard. So she went through a transformation in her mindset that led her to not only understand the importance of trying hard, but how to make it a practiced skill for herself and for her clients.

Refugees bring skills, talents, and aspirations and can be a benefit rather than a burden to receiving societies. Realizing this potential relies on moving beyond a purely humanitarian focus to fully include refugees in host-country economies, build economic opportunities in refugee-hosting regions, and navigate the ambiguous politics of refugee protection. In today's episode of the Charter Cities Podcast, Kurtis Lockhart speaks with Alexander Betts, a Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs at the University of Oxford, about refugee economics and the role that the private sector, technology, and innovation have to play in the global refugee crisis. Alex currently leads the Refugee Economies program at Oxford, where his research focuses on the political economy of refugee assistance with a focus on African countries. His book, Refuge, co-written with economist Paul Collier, was named one of the best books of the year by the Economist in 2017, and he has written several other books on migration and refugee issues, most recently The Wealth of Refugees, which came out earlier this year. Alex is uniquely qualified to share his insights into the Jordan Compact, as he does in this episode, and he reflects on how displaced people can build economies, the value of providing refugees with basic socio-economic rights and entitlements, and what constitutes meaningful, dignified work for refugee communities. To learn more, make sure to tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: • An introduction to Alexander Betts and his passion for running and debating. • What Alex learned about UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) while working there and how it has informed his work. • How his time in Silicon Valley influenced his thinking and led to Refugee Economics. • Learn about the Jordan Compact and the opportunities it creates for Syrian refugees. • The value of giving refugees basic socio-economic rights and entitlements. • Replicating this special economic zone strategy for refugees in a context-specific manner. • The main impacts of the Jordan Compact, its political successes and economic weaknesses. • Why one of the main challenges has been the gender dimensions of the Compact. • The critiques of the Compact that Alex takes most seriously, including what constitutes meaningful, dignified work for refugees. • Why Alex believes a history of refugee self-reliance has been forgotten. • Hear more about Alex's research in Africa and the ethical scope for randomized control trials. • The challenge of doing harm to vulnerable populations through random experimentation. • How Alex explored a natural experiment model in Kenya's Kalobeyei and Kakuma camps. • Why the disconnect between the success of refugee self-reliance and economic inclusion and the lack of adoption more broadly. • Comparing refugees' economic lives in rural versus urban areas; the pros and cons of each. • What interaction or contact does for social cohesion between host communities and refugees. • How the costliness and fragmentation of African cities can lead to the exclusion of refugees. • The role of cash transfers from organizations in urban assistance models for refugees. • The key support, training, and access to opportunity that refugee-led organizations provide. • Alex reflects on how to get big bureaucracy like UNHCR to embrace change and be more proactive rather than reactive. • Combining status quo options to the benefit of refugees, host communities, and countries. • Hear what Alex is working on now and the inherent value of participatory research methods.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: http://www.alexanderbetts.co.uk/ (Alexander Betts) https://twitter.com/alexander_betts (Alexander Betts on Twitter) https://www.amazon.com/Refuge-Alexander-Betts/dp/0141984708/ (Refuge)...

This pandemic has been a wild ride for everyone, especially for young Millennials and Generation Z. These teens and 20-somethings are dealing with some turbulent stuff -- mental health issues, remote learning, a rocky economy and job market -- during some pivotal life stages. On the other hand, what happened in 2020 made many young people far more aware of politics and activism, and their generation is set to take over the economy in just a decade. So what are the specific ups and downs they're going to be facing between now and then, and how are they going to handle them? We're asking those questions to three people: a Gen Zer, a young Millennial, and a researcher who studies their generations' cultures, habits and lives.

Many of us suffer from the fear of rejection, and we allow it to hold us back from doing things we love. In this episode, we have an amazing guest joining us on the show, Alex Grodd. He is an entrepreneur with an amazing story of how he transitioned from the corporate world into entrepreneurship. Alex’s passion is in the audio world. He helps entrepreneurs get the best out of their podcasts. Also, he is the ambassador of rejection therapy. In this episode, Alex will be sharing his story and giving us nuggets of wisdom on rejection therapy. Listen in and learn. How Alex transitioned into entrepreneurship Alex worked in the investment for ten years, but he wasn’t content with that career, and he wasn’t happy. He quit his job and went to school for an MBA, and that’s when it hit him that he was an entrepreneur. He decided to venture into the audio world. He met a couple of co-founders, and they started a FinTech company. And that’s when they built a mobile banking application. Alex is currently pursuing the audio world. Rejection Therapy Many of us get discouraged when we get rejected. According to Alex, we should all get used to being rejected and keep going no matter how many times we’re told no. Alex recommends that we get into a habit of asking for things that we know we’ll definitely get a no. For instance, ask for a discount when you least need it or deserve it. Getting rejected several times in a day gives you room to learn how to deal with rejection.  Alex’s Super Power Alex is among the few people who do not fear rejection. He carries rejection, learns from it, and makes himself and his business better. Alex comfortably confesses that he would not be the person he is today if he didn’t take rejection positively. His inner superpower is therefore taking rejection positively. Timestamps: [01:14] Getting to know Alex [04:20] Alex’s experience in the audio world [10:17] Alex’s advice to people in the corporate world and want to get a side hustle [12:17] Rejection therapy [17:49] Alex’s other businesses [20:11] Advice to someone working a job looking to start podcasting as a side hustle [22:15] The biggest failure that Alex has had [24:05] Alex’s superpower Quotes: “Once you work on that confidence, and you multiply confidence, rejection is just nothing, just something that you need to do to achieve your goal.” “I think I’ve been rejected more than most and if I let those rejections put me down, I would not be where I am today.” “Always lead with helping others first, instead of just give me, give me and podcasting is a very interesting tool to do that.” “Rejection therapy is a process of desensitizing yourself to the fear of rejection.” “Podcasting isn’t a new technology, but it will eventually transform human behaviour.”

He talks about how he prepared for launch, where did he find his audience, and how he kept engagement and excitement up during the live campaign days.   We discuss: [01:22]: Alex tells us about him and about where the inspiration came from for his first game “Dogs BOND”, which goal is to be a game that includes the whole family, and raises awareness about dog adoption. [05:34]: How Alex chose the dog breeds he included in the game, and how diversity is also something that he also took into consideration when creating his characters. [09:35]: While Alex looked for and found his audience, and how he partnered with animal shelters to create more conversations about the importance of adoption, as a way to promote his game and his awareness message further.

[23:37]: How Alex kept being proactive during the 30 days of the campaign, and how he engaged with his audience and included their suggestions on the game.

[30:09]: How to approach and help first-time backers who are not used to crowdfunding platforms. [32:59]: For Alex, the knowledge of when his project would be ready to launch depended on the dates he knew would work better for his audience and niche, and working backward starting from that point to build everything needed to be ready for launch. [36:00]: How you can get a copy of Dogs BOND! [37:11]: Alex used pre-launch emails and messages to educate the audience on the importance of early backing for the complete success of a project. And he did the prep ahead of time by having many of the live-campaign messages pre-written for when they got to their funding goals.   Thanks for listening to the Board Game Marketing Podcast!

What strategy did the team use when raising prices? How did Alex and his team manage their finances? In this Episode: When Alex was schooling, a mutual friend introduced him to Trevor, who later became his co-founder, who was launching a SaaS business. According to the mutual friend, Alex needed to contact Trevor for a chance to work together. However, when Alex called, Trevor claimed the project was still in its inaugural stages, but they could still collaborate when everything was ready.  Trevor loved Alex's ambition and was sure that something good would come out of his expertise. Alex maintained contact with Trevor until one day; he proposed collaboration between them. They would later launch Carrot. Alex tells Geordie the story behind acquiring the carrot.com domain. Listen to the podcast to find out.  While in college, Trevor had purchased his inaugural rental property in partnership with a family member. This step marked his entrance into the real estate investing world. Trevor had developed a website through which he could generate leads for tenants. He also used the platform to search for discounted properties. At some point, he became a consultant. Out of sharing about his experience and work on social media platforms, many people became curious, and they started approaching him in search of solutions for their websites. It is from these inquiries that the Rei conversion theme was born. Please find out how Trevor implemented the Rei theme on his customer's websites before Alex joined him. When Alex later joined Trevor, the business was still an agency seeing that he (Trevor) was running his operations manually. Alex left at some point and rejoined the team later on. During his (Alex's) absence, Trevor was struggling to upload themes and contracted out Chris (the other co-founder) to help him out. Surprisingly, Chris completed the massive work in less than half an hour. Impressed, Trevor invited Chris to help him automate the agency into a SaaS platform. Find out how the team executed the process from the podcast. Alex would later rejoin the team as a marketing expert, which he has outgrown to become the director of operations.

He gives a detailed explanation about the platform and what set them apart from their competitors then. Listen to the podcast for this informative section. He also talks about the transition period from an agency to a SaaS platform you cannot afford to miss.  After converting the agency to SaaS, Alex and his team needed to market it to reach a wider audience. He mentions that they did not have a hard time achieving that, seeing that Trevor was already famous on social media platforms. According to Alex, Trevor played a massive role in marketing the platform to multiple industry partners. He talks about other strategies they used to promote the platform that you can learn about from the podcast. Alex tells Geordie about their big break moment, which you should hear to grab the details.   Alex talks about navigating their content marketing and the effort they invested in getting things right. Why did the team spend a lot of time on content generation? Did they achieve growth from content marketing? Listen to the podcast to find out. Alex says they experienced growth from investing in paid ads, affiliates, and adding members to the team. He mentions that a significant percentage of their growth came from organic traffic. What impact did COVID have on the company? Alex says they were not adversely affected. Listen to the podcast to figure out how they survived the period. Alex finalizes the podcast with some tips for aspiring SaaS entrepreneurs.

Episode 175: An entrepreneur since age 15, Alex Hodara tells us why he created Rocket Club to teach 9 to 14-year old students robotics, coding, and entrepreneurship.  Guest Biography Entrepreneur Alex Hodara is the owner of Hodara Real Estate Group, an investment and development company he founded as a brokerage in 2008. Hodara launched the venture during his junior year at Boston University, hiring 15 of his classmates and launching what CNBC coined as “America’s first student run real estate brokerage.” Upon graduation with his B.B.A. from the distinguished Questrom School of Business, the success of Hodara’s firm landed him on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” and Bloomberg Businessweek’s “Best Young Entrepreneurs” lists. Hodara bought, renovated, and rented his first building in 2011, and today owns 200 multifamily units between Boston and Jersey City, just outside of Manhattan. In 2018 Hodara sponsored a STEM competition at Westfield High School in New Jersey. Inspired by the student’s brilliant engineering ideas and desire for elevated entrepreneurial support, he developed Rocket Club, an award winning, selffinanced robotics, coding and entrepreneurship club for kids. Hodara officially launched this passion project in February 2019 in Hoboken, New Jersey and word spread fast; with new locations popping up in Montclair, NJ, Upper West Side New York, Lower Manhattan, The British International School of NYC, and a free program in Newark, NJ during the first year of operation. Rocket Club went on to win the 2019 NJ Tech Council’s Innovation and Education Award, and STEM Leader to Watch Award. Each location was near capacity when COVID-19 hit the world, in March 2020. Hodara and the Rocket Club team quickly pivoted to a fully virtual model, providing free education to members through the fall of 2020. In the process, enrollment soared as parents sought out additional resources for their children who were distance learning. Rocket Club’s virtual curriculum is four semesters, and teaches members to develop their own businesses, learn Python coding, and build robotics. Each day, Rocket Club hosts Rocket Club Live, an interactive, educational game show and Q&A featuring a successful guest. Guests have included the founders of Netflix, Beyond Meat, Casper Mattresses, Harry’s Razors, Vonage, and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics to name a few. In this episode, you'll learn: We get a glimpse into the entrepreneur’s mind. Building a curriculum designed to expose kids to as much as possible to inspire and help them decide what they want to be when they’re older. How Alex is investing his own money to cultivate entrepreneurs of the future.

There are many traits that a great business leader possesses in his personality. In today’s episode I am discussing many of those traits with my guest, Alex Terranova. One of the prominent traits of a great leader is the habit of reading books. You must have heard a proverb “leader is a reader”, that’s 100% true. But most of the readers today make a mistake while reading; they keep reading books one after another but they don’t implement it. Remember that reading hundreds of books won’t lead you toward success, but, implementing even a single book 100% will definitely change your destiny.   Another thing that you need to grow yourself is to find MENTORS. Mentors are the ones who can help you to get where u always dream to be and without them your journey of success would be long and hard as well. So, find someone who could shape you and guide you toward your jackpot.  Secondly, you not only need to seek mentors but you also need to be a mentor to someone. Help other people to grow because your success won’t mean anything if everyone around you will be living a miserable life. Helping other people selflessly with good intentions creates a positive impact on other person’s life and that is something you cannot measure on any scale. Remember that your good intentions pay you back in numerous ways because it is the law of nature that whatever you put into the world, you are going to get it. Also, you as a leader need to balance out every dimension of your life; you need to build good relationships with people, with your clients, and with your loved ones because your relationships play vital role in leading you toward success. You also need to have a balanced approach to look at opposite views of people; listen to them, understand then and try to figure out a balanced way. Last but not the least, if you want to be successful in life, you don’t need massive steps; start taking small steps to improve yourself and show up to the world as an energetic person and it will make you a charismatic successful leader of your organization. What You will Learn from this Episode: In today’s episode you will learn from Alex about many traits that you as a leader must possess. Alex is talking about importance of reading books, how he used to read books, and what you need to do when it comes to reading. Moreover, you will learn what you need to do if you are not good at something, how a mentor can ease your journey of success, what is the importance of building good relationships, how your choices impact your lives, how you should deal with people who disagree with you, why you should not pay so much attention to politics and how it is distracting you, why you need to help other people if you want to improve your life, and what is the importance of having good intentions and helping people selflessly? In the end we are discussing what you need to do if you want to make more money or want to improve your life in any context. This is not it; you will learn a lot more from this episode. As a human being we all have some room for improvement, so, if you want to improve yourself as a business owner or as a leader of any organization then must listen to this podcast to know more detail.

In this episode of Art Grind, hosts Dina Brodsky, Marshall Jones, and Tun Myaing road trip to interview artists Alex Kanevsky and Hollis Heichemer in New Hampshire. With the faint sound of crickets setting the stage, Alex and Hollis speak about their different paths to becoming artists and how thought, experience, memory, and painting converge—usually as the same thing. Though Alex paints more representationally and views painting more as investigation, whereas Hollis paints more abstractly and views painting more as insight, they share their “curate[d] life” in agreement that “painting never ends.” Tune in not just for Art Grind’s first episode interviewing two artists simultaneously, but also for an episode which proves as frank as it is profound.Show Notes:1:15 A word from our sponsor: New York Academy of Art - Peter Drake (Provost) & John Volk (Director of Continuing Studies) 13:14: Show begins16:20 : Hollis’ background19:00: Alex’s background35:20: How Alex & Hollis function as an artist couple38:05: What motivates Hollis to paint45:30: What motivates Alex to paint52:30: Alex on artist statements1:02:30: A typical day in the studio1:09:00: How Hollis’ paintings become her own1:10:50: How the outside world influences Alex & Hollis1:16:05-1:16:15: Break1:16:20: Alex on deconstruction in his work1:24:50: Hollis on what makes a good painting1:26:50: Hollis on J.M.W.

Alex Charfen joins us today and like many in the past, we were pleasantly surprised at the topics that came up. First, we chat about Alex’s backstory and how he was able to turn his life and business completely around after the housing crisis in 2007. He was able to take his knowledge and create a brand new business helping others get through some very difficult years, and this business gained momentum so quickly that he became a top advisor to government officials while also making it onto the Inc. 500 list a mere four years later. This is a great, timely chat about creating something helpful and important, out of a crisis such as the one we’ve dealt with this year.  We also have a great conversation about Alex’s struggles, his successes with a specific kind of therapy, the importance of being vulnerable, and how, if you find yourself judging other people or situations (which of course, we all do from time to time) the best way to turn this around to actually fix how you feel about yourself. Once you’ve listened, be sure to check our shows with Lisa Cherney and Perry Marshall where we talk about how to succeed in today’s challenging climate as well as dealing with self-sabotage. “If you're thinking maintain, you're out of the game already. The mantra in a crisis is, ‘I can grow in this crisis, I can succeed in this crisis, I can help people in this crisis, and I can make a huge impact in this crisis.” - Alex Charfen Some Topics We Discussed Include: The most important thing to do when the world is in crisis How Alex went from being bankrupt to getting to #21 on the Inc. 500 list only 4 years later The benefits of showing your vulnerable side and exposing your weaknesses The three awakenings of the entrepreneurial type - do you have them? A heartfelt moment with Sean Stephenson The benefits of EMDR which you probably need but never even thought about A simple phrase to remember when you find yourself judging a situation And much, much more!
