Continuing with our series on women in the literary arts, today's guest is Mary H.K. Choi, a Korean-American New York Times best-selling author. Mary has written three young adult novels and has been published in The Atlantic, New York Times, and GQ. Her latest book, Yolk, is the story of two estranged sisters who slowly heal their relationship after one of them is diagnosed with cancer. In our wide-ranging conversation today, we talk about Mary's journey to becoming a writer and some of the beliefs she had to let go of to get to where she is. We then dive into Yolk, where Mary talks about the similarities between her and one of the main characters, Jane. Mary unpacks why it was important for her to write about an eating disorder and having a fraught relationship with your body. Not only does this reflect Mary's personal experience, but it also comments on the broader pressures within east Asian communities regarding physical appearance. We also touch on intergenerational trauma and why Mary thinks it's an inevitable outcome of the immigrant experience, race, and the power of sibling hood as an immigrant. To hear all this and more, tune in today!• Hear what Mary was like as a little girl and her naturally inquisitive, scrappy nature. • When Mary realized that she wanted to be a writer and the pain that came with this realization. • The difficulty Mary faced trying to break into mainstream media. • For many years, Mary waited for permission, or for a break based on her merit. • A synopsis of Mary's latest book, Yolk, and the similarities between her and the main character, Jane. • The struggles Mary has had with eating disorders throughout her life. • Why it was so important for Mary to talk about bulimia in her book. • How Jane's low self-worth and insecurity reflect what happens to many women of color. • The different yolk signifiers and why Mary chose this as the name of the book. • Why Mary chose to explore sisterhood in Yolk, despite not having sisters herself. • Mary's fraught relationship with America and how she thinks about her identity. • Having a brother gave Mary someone to talk to about their unique immigrant experience. • Representations of East Asian men in the media and how this differs from representations of East Asian women. • How Mary chose to bring up the issue of race in a non-prescriptive way. • What Mary has learned from her characters about what it means to break free.ReferencesMary H.K.

We all know visibility is an essential component to growing a business. While many people think you need years of experience and a robust list of clientele to get your name out there in the media, that simply isn’t the case. If you’re just getting started building your brand and growing your business, that’s excellent news for you. What’s even better is that the steps increasing your visibility and impact through PR isn’t as complicated as you may think. Take it from PR expert Jane Tabachnick. Jane is a fashion designer turned PR expert who learned first hand the power media exposure can have on taking a business to that next level of visibility, impact, and even credibility. I was so excited to chat with her for this episode all about building simple yet effective PR habits in your business. Jane’s story going from the world of fashion to the world of publicity is proof that you don’t necessarily need to hire an expert or firm to get your name out there and build the following you desire. As she explains in this episode, the ability to tell stories, showcase your value-add, and relate to the audience are the foundation elements of successful PR. In fact, the key to gaining media interest is showcasing the value you bring to their audience. The good news? Whether you’re just getting started with a few practice clients or have been in business for years, we all have success stories we can share. I invite you to follow along as Jane and I discuss everything you need to know about getting started with PR in your business. We explore why stories are a PR staple and at the root of gaining exposure and building credibility. Jane also dives into the different avenues you can use to start getting publicity and visibility for your business. (Hint: it’s all about building relationships). She even outlines her signature ‘hug an influencer’ technique to increase visibility and impact on social media. The truth is, people care more about what others are saying about you than what you’re saying about yourself. That means that 3rd party credibility is one of the essential elements of PR you should establish. Not only does that publicity build traction for your brand, but it also establishes an element of trust you simply cannot build on your own. Wondering about paid publicity? Don’t worry. We cover that too. Now, before you write off PR as something you can tackle on your own in your business, listen as Jane outlines exactly how to approach media personnel to pitch yourself and your brand. She even walks you through her best tips for building PR habits that will increase your visibility and open the door for amazing opportunities for you and your business. No matter what stage of business you are in, this episode is full of incredible tips and actionable steps that you can start implementing in your business today. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a notebook, and let’s dive in! In this episode… [03:35] Welcome to the show, Jane! How Jane went from fashion designer to PR expert. [06:17] Learn how (and why) Jane left the fashion industry for the world of PR. [08:10] How to get started with PR in your business. [09:14] Learn why you don’t need decades of experience to get started. (You just need a story). [11:45] The different avenues you can use to start getting publicity and visibility (including influencers). [15:11] Jane’s trick for connecting with media personnel. [18:46] PR is important for building credibility and trust. [20:06] Jane’s advice on paid PR opportunities. [21:34] Top tips for increasing your visibility and building PR habits. [24:44] The three ways to get publicity (including working with Jane). [26:10] Jane’s advice for living a life better than your dreams. Quotes: “It's possible for anyone to get PR. Everyone has success stories.” -Jane Tabachnick “Most of us don't start out as experts. We're not perfect. So, if you can be relatable and you can show how you help solve a problem or how your product helps solve a problem, that’s really valuable to the [audience]. And that's what the media cares about.” -Jane Tabachnick “I think that sometimes we think it needs to take decades, but [we can] also utilize some of the information and some of the results that we got prior to even opening the doors [of the business] as examples of what's possible.” -Emily Williams “No one cares what you say about you. They may like you. They may follow you. But for the most part, marketing messages and advertising are not trusted. People trust the media, and they trust third-party credibility.” -Jane Tabachnick “The thing to keep in mind is to get in the game. Do the simple things. If you can do it every day, great. If not, do it three times a week. Do something because you have to be in the game. Anyone you see getting on stage, being interviewed on podcasts, getting press is pitching, it's not just happening organically or magically. They're not luckier than you. They're either taking the steps themselves, or they're hiring someone to help them.”  -Jane Tabachnick

In today’s world, trying to get married has become... a hot mess. So, to all the COVID brides to have been, grooms and wedding professionals: you’re not alone. Welcome to Bride To Have Been, a StudioPod original podcast hosted by Emily Lewis, with the purpose of building a community by sharing the reality of this new normal in the wedding industry. Let’s keep inspiring each other and celebrate the thing we treasure the most: love. Wedding planner Jane Alexandra had a wedding booked the very weekend that shelter-in-place orders were put in place in California back in March 2020. That was just the first of over 30 weddings she would end up helping couples postpone, scale down dramatically and even cancel throughout the pandemic. At first, Jane was in fix-it mode just trying to get through every day and every task, but eventually the reality set in that COVID wasn’t going anywhere and her business wasn’t going to be the same anytime soon.  Jump straight into: (06:24) - Jane on becoming a wedding planner - “I was like, ‘I have no idea what I'm doing. This is scary, but I'm just going to go for it and see what happens.’” (19:00) - On couples who still wanted to plan large weddings during the pandemic - “The reality is, is it worth the risk? Like what if your wedding gets shut down literally the day before or that morning?” (20:12) - Planning big weddings during the pandemic - “My husband is a nurse and he works on a COVID unit. And so I personally don't want to put anyone at risk, and also I don't want to put my business at risk and I don't want to be on the news as the wedding planner that hosted a super spreader wedding.” (26:12) - Giving couples their money back after cancelling - “The deposits that we get, we spend those. We use that money to pay our bills and to pay our teams and to survive.” (28:41) - On how many weddings there were to move - “Everyone loved the idea of getting married in 2020. So dates that normally wouldn't have been full we're full.” (30:13) - On couples that had to keep postponing - “They had to postpone again and again and again. And it's just so sad for them. I can't even imagine postponing my wedding three times.” (31:55) - How Jane has been holding up - “I've probably had at least one mental breakdown a month this entire process. It's exhausting and it's tiring and it's horrible, but every day I just get up and I'm like, ‘Okay, what do I need to tackle now?’” (41:20) - Riding the COVID rollercoaster - “I've definitely had my moments where I’m like, ‘I'm going to make the best of it and I'm going to cook and I'm in a garden and I'm going to learn to make fun cocktails,’ and that lasts like a week, and then you're back in the tub crying.” (43:26) - On not having all the answers - “Especially for planners, because this is what we do, we do well under pressure. Our job is to manage crises and to manage anything that could happen day of, which I've seen it all, but the hard part is that I'm used to having the answers on how to fix things.” Resources Follow https://www.instagram.com/janealexandraevents/ (Jane) on Instagram  Book a wedding package with Jane and her team at https://janealexandraevents.com/ (JaneAlexandra Events) See https://www.instagram.com/xokatierosario/ (XOKatieRosario’s delicious cakes) on Instagram Book a trip to http://flying-flags-rv-resort-campground.central-coast-california.net/en/ (Flying Flags) in Buellton, CA Buellton Thanks for listening!

Cynthia Tice is the Founder of Lily’s Sweets and got her start in the natural foods industry before green juice was even cool. As supermarkets realized the staying power of natural organic foods, she began consulting retailers on how to launch or build out their natural and organic offerings. She also started advising brands about looking into launching natural and organic products. As a longtime user of stevia, Cynthia began experimenting making chocolate with stevia to satisfy her own need for a no-sugar chocolate, her favorite food. In 2011, the recipe was perfected, and Lily's Sweets was on the shelves at Whole Foods stores nationwide by 2012. Since then, Lily’s Sweets has been recognized by Forbes as a mission-driven company reinventing the packaged goods industry.  Jane Miller is the CEO of Lily's Sweets and has 30 years of executive experience in the food industry. She's worked for both startups and Fortune 500 companies and is also the Founder of JaneKnows.com, a career advice website geared toward young leaders starting their careers. Jane has held several other CEO roles in the natural and organic food industry including Rudi's Organic Bakery, ProYo Frozen Yogurt, and HannahMax Cookie Chips. She also worked for HJ Heinz as Chief Growth Officer, ran the Western Division of Bestfoods Baking, and spent the first 14 years of her career at PepsiCo, where she became the President of the Central Division of Frito Lay Snacks. In 2013, the Denver Business Journal awarded Jane the Lifetime Achievement Award for her mentoring of young professionals and startups. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:  How Cynthia got started in the natural food industry and why she chose to make chocolates with stevia  How Cynthia grew her business and team, and how she got funding How Jane found and joined Lily's Sweets and what intrigued her about the company The evolution to more conventional retail stores and how Lily’s Sweets has been giving back to the community Similarities and differences between large and small CPG brands from a managerial standpoint The biggest challenges Cynthia and Jane have faced in growing the business and their advice on pitfalls to avoid The future plans for Lily's Sweets and Cynthia's expectations for her company when she first started Cynthia and Jane's advice to fellow entrepreneurs on building a business In this episode… Cynthia Tice has always loved chocolate. But, the ones in the market weren’t healthy enough for her to eat a whole bar. She could only enjoy a small piece and that was not an option for her. So when stevia was granted GRAS status (Generally Recognized As Safe) in 2008 for use as a sweetener in food products, she set out to create her own chocolate made with stevia. Lily's Sweets was born. Cynthia Tice and the current CEO for Lily’s Sweets, Jane Miller are on a mission to give back to their community by supporting causes and organizations that support the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. They also mentor young leaders to bring about positive changes in society.  G. Steven Cleere, host of the NexxtLevel Podcast, is joined by Cynthia Tice and Jane Miller from Lily's Sweets to talk about growing a healthy chocolate business. Cynthia and Jane talk about the company's history, giving back to the community, and the main similarities and differences between growing a large CPG company versus a smaller business.

Exploring: What's in a name? Where does the Animal ‘Welfare' Party stand on Animal Rights? The concept of kinship, the importance of being a citizen of the earth, and the impact of taking the ‘no-flight pledge'. The current political landscape for our fellow animals, and why Jane will be marching on Parliament with Animal Rebellion. How Jane has turned regretful childhood experiences into inspiration to write an anti-speciesist children's book. The importance of standing in our truth, appreciating and learning from all our experiences and knowing that nothing is wasted. Passing through tales of hedgehogs highways, roads for toads, a badger brigade and respectful rodent relocation.

Chief Janeé Harteau (retired) was Minneapolis' 52nd Police Chief and the first female chief in the city's history and in April 2017, Fortune Magazine named her one of the world's top 50 leaders. She initiated MPD 2.0 immediately after she became chief, systematically changing accountability and transparency within the Department while maximizing officer performance and opportunities for advancement within the organization. Chief Harteau is currently the CEO and President of Vitals Aware Services. The Vitals™ App enables safer community interactions by allowing individuals with visible and invisible conditions and disabilities to create and share a personalized digital profile with authorized first responders, health care professionals, and educators via a secure, mobile app – improving real-time communication, reducing the risk of misunderstandings, and promoting greater independence. What you'll learn about in this episode: How Janeé rose to the top of the ranks in a male-dominated field that is not very receptive to female police officers. How technology has inherently changed policing for the better Why women struggle to thrive in policing How police reform has improved the work environment for women and minorities Janeé's opinion on police brutality and society's perception of the police Janeé's theory on “the one bad apple” when it comes to police brutality What businesses can do to set up an intervention system to deal with the ongoing chaos and civil unrest Defunding our police departments vs. reforming our police departments What the average person can do to be an agent of change with these issues The biggest challenges Janeé has faced in launching her company Resources: Website: https://thevitalsapp.com/ Website: https://www.janeeharteau.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane%C3%A9-harteau-7b645713/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/vitals-aware-services/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thevitalsapp Twitter: @ChiefHarteau @thevitalsapp The Realities of Policing Chief Janeé Harteau is no stranger to controversy or crisis. Now retired, she was Minneapolis' 52nd Police Chief and the first female chief in the city's history. Janeé led her department through transformational change during politically charged and turbulent times. She continues to be an agent of change in her new role as CEO of Vitals Aware Services. The Vitals™ App enables safer community interactions by allowing individuals with visible and invisible conditions and disabilities to create and share a personalized digital profile with authorized first responders, health care professionals, and educators via a secure mobile app. In this episode of Intentional Greatness, Janeé shares her story and her perspective on what is happening in Minneapolis and communities around the country. Heroes and Villains Janeé says that what makes policing tough is because people question your role. In modern society, everyone has access to a camera at all times. We are starting to see multiple sides to policing, with more context and more backstory. It keeps cops honest and it provides so much information/evidence that used to be inaccessible. But with everything being recorded, we see the bad side as well. Life and death situations bring out either the best or the worst in people. And with that tension ever-present in Janeé's work environment, it was a difficult task to rise to the top of the ranks in a male-dominated field. A Different Dynamic to Policing Janeé always thought that if she was really good at her job, she would be accepted. That was not the case as she struggled with male colleagues who were dismissive, slow to respond to calls for back up, and even flat-out prevented her from doing the job in high stakes situations. Janeé rose to the top because she refused to walk away. She was fighting bad guys in the streets and bad guys in her precinct, yet she refused to fold no matter how bad things got. When she got to a position of power, she did everything possible to make a change. Janeé always pushed for diversity in the department, not just in ethnicity and gender, but in life experiences as well. Women bring an entirely new dynamic to policing, and everyone in uniform is better off because of it.

Tibetan teacher Mingyur Rinpoche said, “The only difference between meditation and ordinary social interaction is that the friend you’re gradually coming to know is yourself.” If you’ve ever practiced meditation, you’ll know this to be true.  Conversely, if you’ve never tried meditation, you might be thinking it sounds too difficult or too abstract. I can relate to this, because the first time I tried meditation, I had to suspend disbelief. But this simple practice brought me awareness, consciousness, and ultimately led to my passion for helping others. And I owe it all to today’s guest, Jane Wambui Kaberere. Jane is the most requested guest on the Model Health Show, my biggest inspiration, and she also happens to be my mother-in-law. She is the epitome of overcoming obstacles in order to make a positive impact on others. Her story encompasses all levels of health and wellness, including nutrition, mindfulness, and self-care. Learning from Jane has truly been one of the biggest gifts in my life, and I’m so grateful to be able to share that experience with you today.   In this episode you’ll discover: What Jane’s culture taught her about the role of women.  How Jane’s mother motivated her to strive for more and defy traditional gender roles.  A thought that inspired Jane to uncover real happiness.  The power of asking questions and having the audacity to experiment.  What inspired Jane to pursue an education.  The extents that she went to in order to learn and grow.  How meditation can help you overcome your fears.  Why meditation is like driving a car.  The story behind how meditation led to the creation of the Model Health Show. How meditation can teach you compassion and connection. The different types of mediation that Jane has experimented with. Why Jane loves to teach meditation.  How emotional pain can manifest into physical symptoms.  Jane’s inspiration for learning more about nutrition.  How the naming system works in Kenya.  The power of practicing self-care and self-love.  Why accepting support from those around you can be so powerful.  Items mentioned in this episode include:  Thrivemarket.com/modelhealth ⇐ 25% off your entire 1st order + free shipping!

If I had to choose a favorite part, it was how Jane refers to her years in this field as a “covert operation”——asking senior living residents the right questions and then listening attentively to their answers, sneaking into management and operations meetings to uncover the biggest challenges and then working tirelessly to solve them.  In 2015, Jane received the first Changemaker Award for Environments for Aging from The Center for Health Design and in 2018, she received the ASID Design for Humanity Award. In October 2018, she was a Women in Design honoree awarded by Healthcare Design Magazine. Jane has been recognized as an Honorary Alumni of Clemson University for her teaching contribution to the Architecture + Health program. Jane is certified by the American College of Healthcare Architects, the American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers, and is a LEED Accredited Professional. She sits on various senior living, healthcare, and sustainability committees to support the creation of a tipping point for person-centered care environments like The Research Advisory Council which is the research arm of The Center for Health Design, the 2010 Cycle of the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Healthcare Facilities, and the ASHRAE 189.2 High Performance Healthcare Facilities Committee. Her specialties include: Senior living consulting, healthcare consulting, architecture and interior design for senior living and healthcare projects, focus groups, facilitations and development consulting. Learn more about Jane Rohde and JSR by visiting: http://www.jsrassociates.net/ Here’s what you’ll learn in the interview:  Germany’s fascinating medieval era community — The Fuggerei—one of the earliest known retirement communities where widowers and widows when to live, eat and wander through gardens when they were no longer able to work. How Jane opened her business because she saw a wide gap between operations, user needs, and design. She set out to close that gap by designing fully functioning spaces to better serve residents and staff. The story of Jane’s friend and senior living resident Miriam who influenced Jane to become a leader in making changes to the senior living environment, and the table Jane designed to help wheelchair bound Miriam have more dignity in social situations. * How the most rewarding aspects of this work are when you see a resident’s life changed for the good. The first step to take when you’re a new healthcare interior designer just starting out. Why education is now playing an increasingly important role in bringing more people to this field. How millennials are inspiring new senior living models. When senior residents look at themselves in the mirror, they see their vital self, not their current situation regardless of their physical, emotional or mental challenges.  Visit us at  www.healthcareidpodcast.com  or email us at  info@healthcareidpodcast.com Featured Product: Porcelanosa has always kept the environment in mind when manufacturing and developing new products – including reducing any emissions and waste created during manufacturing, and introducing the use of recycled materials within the production chain.

Jane M. Powers: End Self-Sabotage by Finding Your Voice   In this episode, Yvonne and Jane discuss: Conversational techniques that allow you to powerfully and effortlessly articulate yourself, your message, and your offer. The importance of having a message that clearly articulates what you do for success. Becoming effective in training your brain how to think when you speak. How Jane’s unique story led to her mission and the secret of finding your voice in life, not just in business.   Key Takeaways: Money is not the answer.

Show up big, bold, and true in everything you do.    "It’s about being heard. In absence of being heard, you are a mystery to everyone. In absence of being heard, people will guess what you want and if they miss the mark, you’re disappointed. It’s about people knowing who you are, understanding your limits and values, and understanding the power that you bring into any situation." — Jane M. Powers   About Jane M.

What could you accomplish if you weren’t afraid? Have you ever held yourself back because you were worried what other people might think? Have you ever rejected an opportunity because you feared rejection or failure? We all experience fear, but what truly matters is how you direct that fear and ultimately overcome it. Often we see a successful person, but neglect to understand the shortcomings and insecurities they had to push through in order to thrive. We think that maybe one day we will reach this magical place where our fears dissipate, but that isn’t reality. Our power lies in our ability to break outside of our comfort zone and go after what we want, despite fear. Today’s episode features one of my favorite people, Andrea Navedo from Jane the Virgin. Andrea is a living testament of what it takes to overcome fear, find strength, and unleash your potential. Her story will inspire you to let go of your excuses, live with integrity, and pursue your dreams. In this episode you'll discover: Why it’s important to include our kids and younger family members in our health and wellness practices. How we can gain strength from the tough times we go through. The significance of being able to apologize to a child (even as an adult). Why it’s so important to have role models and people to hold you accountable. Why you need to face your fear or risk living with regret. Why paying attention to the way opportunities feel (light or heavy) can help guide you in the right direction. The huge role that media plays on society’s consciousness. Why it’s important to see positive portrayals of people who “look like you” in the media. The incredible story of how Andrea got her first big television acting role. How talking about your insecurities can help ensure they’re not controlling you. Why it’s important to stop making excuses and take responsibility for your life. How loving yourself can help you overcome your fears. How Jane the Virgin has helped to change the landscape of major media. How Andrea stays in great shape with her busy schedule as a wife, mom, and actress.

066: Online Scheduling Tool for Yoga Teachers with Jane Crites   When Shannon began The Connected Yoga Teacher podcast she had a vision to create a safe and supportive community for yoga teachers along with great content shared on a weekly basis. Shannon didn't have immediate plans to find a sponsor but knew that the podcast's sponsor would have to offer services that she herself used and about which she could speak passionately. Shannon also felt strongly that she wanted the service to be relevant to yoga teachers. Schedulicity, an online booking application and scheduling tool that Shannon has used since 2011, checked all the boxes.   Through a consultation call with her business coach Natalie Eckdahl of BizChix, she was encouraged to create a plan to monetize The Connected Yoga Teacher podcast. Shannon realized that she needed to focus on marketing and sponsorship as those elements would make the longevity of the podcast possible.   Today's guest is Schedulicity's Jane Crites, VP of Product. Jane began working for the company in 2007.  Shannon and Jane talk about Jane's love of yoga, upcoming enhancements to their services, the power of scheduling and more.   Jane does the work that lights her up in a position that allows her to problem-solve with customers. Jane has been instrumental in putting energy towards marketing to yoga teachers and studios as well as focusing on how Schedulicity's services can benefit yoga entrepreneurs.   Jane lives in Bozeman, Montana (also Schedulicity's headquarters), and describes the winter landscape as a frozen tundra but she wouldn't have it any other way. She has a variety of interests including yoga (sometimes hot yoga in the winter ☀), software development languages, has a whole foods plant-based culinary/nutrition certification and is excited to design and create a permaculture food forest in her front yard.   2:20 How Schedulicity became The Connected Yoga Teacher's sponsor   5:00 Shannon's journey to monetizing the podcast   7:15 About Jane Crites from Schedulicity   9:50 The origin of Schedulicity   10:10 Jane's experience working with Schedulicity   12:25  How Schedulicity is able to offer services for free   15:00 Is Jane finding an increase of yoga teacher and studio users?   16:05 How Schedulicity can serve new yoga teachers   17:55 Upcoming plans for Schedulicity enhancements like “Fill My Class” and community-based cross-promotional opportunities   21:25 How Jane and the Schedulicity team implement customer suggestions- including Shannon's :)   24:40 Creating your client database to help with marketing your classes   25:20 Jane's yoga journey and interest in yoga teacher training   28:40 Other Schedulicity RockStars' passion for yoga   29:55 Jane's advice for those thinking of trying Schedulicity   32:15 Shannon's key takeaways about the power of scheduling your one-on-ones and more   35:55 Exciting MamaNurture Teacher Training news!   Links   Jane's email: jane@schedulicity.com   Jane on LinkedIn   Schedulicity Website   Schedulicity on Facebook   The Connected Teacher Facebook Group   Follow The Connected Teacher on Youtube   Book a Consultation Call with Shannon   MamaNurture Teacher Training   Relevant Podcast Episodes:   020: Six Online Tools for Your Yoga Business with Shannon Crow   054: Launching a Podcast and Facebook Group with Shannon Crow   BizChix Podcast: 235: How I Monetize My Podcast and Platform   BizChix Podcast: 306: 7 Ways to Monetize a Podcast   Live Podcast Interview Video with Jane Crites & Shannon   Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity

Show notes... What it was like for Jane to start her first business “Sometimes you can take your business idea and morph it into something else and that doesn’t mean it was a failure. It was something that you needed to go through to be in the model that you really needed to be in." "If I'd have known how much work my first business was going to be and how hard it was going to be to build it, I probably would’ve never have started in the first place." "You have to build a business that’s not dependent on you in the center." "I sold the business and kept the marriage." "I tried the Martha Stewart thing. I planted a garden I tried baking, but eventually, I realized that I’m an entrepreneur. It’s who I am." "We decided that we would never base our businesses on the need for money. We decided that we would base it on our values and keep a relationship first." "No one ever pulled me aside when I had my first business and told me that you actually get to have your vision and a life." "It’s around trusting that your ideal clients will show up and that they’ll be willing to pay what you’re charging." "People want to know that you’re living your truth." "I will always turn away business if it doesn’t resonate with me in terms of my ideal client." "In business, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your clients." "I look for appreciation in my clients." How to launch your new business - Be really clear about your vision. - Create a five-year vision of what is possible. Go from thoughts to pictures to words to numbers. "There’s something powerful when you write it down and claim it" How Jane is living a Wi-Fi lifestyle... - Jane and her husband are living where they want and she thinks that part of a Wi-Fi lifestyle is living a minimalist lifestyle so that you have the flexibility to go where you want. She’s not tied down by "stuff." - Jane is also able to visit her 90-year-old mother quite frequently which she probably couldn’t do if she was tied down to a typical 9-to-5. She says one of the greatest benefits is being able to care for her the way her mother once cared for her. "In business leverage is getting the greatest return for the least amount of effort." "Build a support team. Automate the delivery of your genius." "Automate the sales process and qualify people before you close them or pick up the phone." "Build a dream team and keep them. Have tools for them. Do a weekly recap." Book: You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living ... "If you want to live I Wi-Fi lifestyle you’re going to have to be bad ass. There’s always another level of badassery." "I’m not here for being satisfied. I’m here for amazing." Tool - Use an assessment to know where people are at in the process. To understand where people are at and personalize communication. Cause - Bakashana.org - An organization in Zambia that helps girls go to school who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to go.

Some people seem to be born knowing what direction to go in life, while others wander a more roundabout path. Both are fine of course (though I think those of us on the “scenic route” often wish for more clarity along the way). The challenges for both types come when we attempt to make changes and when our lives feel stressful. At these times it’s a gift to find someone – a healer, a coach, a loved one, a trusted friend – who can support our wellness and our dreams. Today’s guest is one of those people.  Jane Del Piero experienced stunning dreams as a child that catapulted her into her work with ancient healing traditions, and she’s been on a path of purpose ever since. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, acupuncturist, nutritionist, sound healer, medicine woman, and modern-day shaman. Jane uses her training and experience from around the world as she helps her clients tap into health, vitality, and limitless freedom in their personal, professional, and spiritual lives. Join us for this conversation full of big ideas and practical tips to support your health & wellbeing. What you’ll hear in this episode: Jane’s amazing story about her childhood dreams How to let intuition be your guide Jane’s sound healing work with musicians Acupuncture: What it is and how it is helpful Optimizing the energy of the body and finding balance A combination of acupuncture and sound healing----Acutonics How Jane uses tuning forks, singing bowls, and gongs Using calming music to combat disease A simple technique to combat stress!

14 months ago Jane Arnold (my mom) was diagnosed with Stage 3 Mantle Cell Lymphoma, an incurable form of blood cancer. She was literally on her deathbed and I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to fly home to say my good-byes. But if you knew her, you'd know she doesn't give up easy (a trait I have clearly inherited). And for the last year she has completely transformed her lifestyle and is more healthy and vibrant than I've ever seen her. EVER. In this episode we discuss the practical tips and small changes she has implemented to transform her life (hint: none of them are terribly difficult). A year ago she was 65 pounds heavier eating nothing but junk and never being active. Listen in to hear how she lost 65 pounds and is now the most energetic she has ever been.

Jane McGonigal (@avantgame), PhD, is a senior researcher at the Institute for the Future and the author of The New York Times bestseller Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World. Her work has been featured in The Economist, Wired, and The New York Times. She has been called one of the "top ten innovators to watch" by BusinessWeek and one of the "100 most creative people in business” by Fast Company. Her TED talks on games have been viewed more than ten million times. In this conversation, we dig into everything from recovering from head trauma to how you can use Candy Crush Saga to lose weight. Not enough? How about using Tetris to prevent PTSD, or using Call of Duty to increase empathy? Her latest book is SuperBetter, which offers a revolutionary (science-based) approach for getting stronger, happier, and more resilient. I’ve been testing it, and it works. Not only am I feeling better, but I’m having more fun. As adults, we often lose track of play. My hope is that this episode will help you to reclaim it. It’s not frivolous; it can help you get a lot more done with less stress. In this episode we discuss: Examples of real world problems that are solved with games or by gamers How Jane climbed herself out of the hole of suicidal thoughts Action steps for using gaming lessons and applying them to real life How to build a quest into your life The health effects of Candy Crush Saga On the use of psychedelics to simulate traumatic experiences And much more...
