Jared talks about his work with the Tax Foundation, a non-profit, independent tax policy organization. He shares how he came into his role there and how he works with legislation about tax issues in a nonpartisan way. Listen as he shares what he sees will happen with tax policies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions asked and answered in this Episode: How did Jared make his way to the Tax Foundation?What does he focus on at the Tax Foundation?Where does the Tax Foundation gather their data for analysis?How are they structured to cover all 50 states?How does he see states changing tax policies due to the effects of COVID-19 pandemic?What does he enjoy the most in his job? What You Will Discover: [01:00] How Jared joined the Tax Foundation and his first job in legislature[03:08] Where he focuses his efforts and energy at the Tax Foundation[04:41] An overview of the organization’s state tax team[06:58] Where Tax Foundation gathers their data for analysis[15:45] What is the Colorado Sales And Use Tax Simplification Task Force[19:32] How the Tax Foundation strays from advocacy[26:47] Jared’s “I told you so” moment[31:32] How Judy learned about the Tax Foundation[31:17] The Tax Foundation’s publications[33:24] How state taxes vary and other tax issues[42:26] How state tax policies can change due to the COVID-19 pandemic[50:27] What Jared enjoys the most about his job Quotables: “We’re a small team. I’d like to think that  ” - Jared Walczak [05:02] “State lawmakers, they’re smart people, but they can’t all be experts on every issue. In many cases, they’re part-time. They honestly usually do not have significant full-time staff or if they do, it’s like a legislative assistant. I’ve been one. It’s not a huge policy research team that they have access to, so there’s this enormous need for serious but also digestible research and analysis, and I think it makes a huge difference. And we can provide that.” - Jared Walczak [14:07] “I think that we have found the right approach. We do education.” - Jared Walczak [20:20] “I found the Tax Foundation's maps, and I’ve been relying on them ever since, because it’s a way to see that snapshot of America and all the bits and pieces that you guys share.” - Judy Vorndran [31:57] “We have a relationship with lawmakers that I think sets us apart from a lot of other organizations.” - Jared Walczak [50:49] Relevant Links: Website: https://taxfoundation.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredwalczak/

On our podcast, she joins us to share her story, highlighting the importance of housing in economic performance, and mapping out her collaborative framework as it relates to our 3C’s. What You Will Learn: Travel and tourism’s role as an economic driver in communities across the country Why housing is critical to the performance of any economy Judy’s experience with collaboration, and how it ties into our 3C’s framework How Judy’s public/private sector perspectives and experience with data influence her decisions Why we need to approach tourism as so much more than promoting/marketing a destination What Judy has done to help her organization stand out from the pack How Judy’s team has used creativity and collaboration to navigate crises How the pandemic has leveled the playing field in travel and tourism Tourism is Part of the Economic Fabric Judy McKinney Cherry is a seasoned economic and community development professional with a wealth of experience in the travel and tourism sector. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Schuyler County Partnership for Economic Development, as well as the CEO, CFO of the Schuyler County Industrial Development Agency. Judy has a deep understanding of the role travel and tourism plays as an economic driver in destinations across the country. On our podcast, Judy joins us to share her story, highlighting the importance of housing in economic performance, and mapping out her collaborative framework as it relates to our 3C’s. More Than Marketing Judy is extremely data-driven in her approach to strategy, and she views tourism as an economic driver. It is part of the economic fabric of every community, which is why tourism boards and organizations are so much more than marketers alone. If you look at tourism as an entire industry instead of a means of promoting your destination, then you will be able to thrive collectively. Tourism is not a subsect of economic development, it is part of it. And it is a way for communities to engage travelers in ongoing relationships that lead to potential opportunities for growth. Planning for What-If Scenarios In travel and tourism, Judy is always planning for the what-if scenarios. COVID is a good example because the entire industry transformed overnight. When destination marketers are only focused on promoting a destination, there is virtually nothing for them to do in a situation like this. But when they operate as an integral part of a destination’s economic development, they can help fill in the gaps wherever it is necessary. The essence of creativity is problem-solving. When you combine that with collaboration and a willing network of organizations that have a location’s best interest in mind, disaster scenarios are easier to manage.

Judy worked in the industry way back in the 60’s and 70’s in New York and she has so many fun and inspiring stories about what her journey was like through fashion back then. Whether you’re listening for a fun flashback or for some insight into what the New York fashion world was like back then before you were born, you’re going to love this episode! P.S. This interview was done here in my living room in Denver, and my terrier Lana was home and very excited that the ladies were talking. She doesn’t bark, but she’s definitely there tapping around (and chewing on a bully stick). She’s excited about this episode too! In the interview (which you'll love) we will cover: How Judy decided to start in the fashion industry What it was like working in the fashion industry when she was right out of college in the 60’s What it was like working for a t-shirt factory in New York (yes--a factory in New York!) How the fax machine changed the lives of the sketches being sent! How the car industry would influence the fashion industry How Judy presented her ideas (sketching, sketching, sketching!) Which celebrity wore her westernwear shirt designs! How the fashion industry was different without Adobe Illustrator FASHION SCHOOL IN THE 60’S Judy Karp was like a lot of us in that she was always interested in art. She knew she wanted to study that (maybe become an art teacher?) But when it came time to choose a college in the 60’s, her counselor suggested Washington University in St. Louis. When she saw the fashion design course in the brochure, she knew she wanted to try it--she like sewing (“everyone sewed back then”), so she did her four years out there. This was back when FIT was a tiny little course, and RISD was somewhere out there. But Judy got her BFA and made her way into the world. At first she got a job for Formfit Rogers, but then decided to move to New York. Formfit Rogers had an office out there, so Judy packed up her volkswagon and made her way out there! Shortly after she got a job as an assistant designer at Smartee--one of the first places to actually DO tshirts. Seriously--no one wore t-shirts back then (maybe to the beach), but she got to be on the forefront of creating that trend! Vogue and Harper used to come by the factory (yes, factory in NY) to check out the t-shirt trend. (Thank goodness Judy helped create the t-shirt as we know it--my life would not be the same without them!) WHAT THE JOB WAS LIKE As you might imagine, Judy spent a lot of time sketching. And sketching some more, and sketching some more. There wasn’t any way to do anything except by hand, she says. Doing things on a computer “wasn’t normal.” My, how the tides have turned! After working in New York until about ‘78, she made her way west to Denver, Colorado. She worked for Carmen westernwear and got to design western shirts for John Travolta in Urban Cowboy! Yes--he wore her designs! Judy’s story really is a fascinating insight into the fashion industry in the 60’s and 70’s--you’re going to love it!

Climate data is overwhelming. And being inundated with numbers can make you feel disconnected or even hopeless, especially if you’re not a mathematician or a scientist. So, how can we help people connect with important data sets like the Keeling Curve or the satellite record of Arctic Sea ice? Is there a way to transform the data into art, giving people a new way to talk about climate change? Judy Twedt is a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington who shares climate science through data-driven music compositions. Her soundtracks are designed to emotionally connect us to the evidence of our rapidly changing planet and encourage us to become better stewards of the Earth we share. Judy has a master’s in atmospheric sciences, and her current research is supported by scholarships and fellowships from NASA, the National Science Foundation, and local philanthropic organizations. Today, Judy joins Ross, Christophe and Paul to explain how she translates climate data into music. We listen to one of her pieces based on the satellite record of Arctic Sea ice, and she describes the meaning behind the chords and key changes. Judy discusses the intent of her work to connect people with the data, evoke an emotional response, and empower listeners to talk about climate change in a new way. Listen in for Judy’s insight around meeting people where their values are and learn how she initiates conversation around climate change in her own civic community.   Resources  Judy’s Website Judy’s TED Talk Kristina Lee: ‘Arctic Sea Ice’ ‘What Climate Change Sounds Like’ in Crosscut The Keeling Curve Satellite Record of Arctic Sea Ice Ice Core Data Katharine Hayhoe Katharine Hayhoe’s TED Talk The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Johnathan Haidt King County Climate Caucus Sufjan Stevens Carbon Removal Newsroom   Connect with Ross & Christophe Nori Nori on Facebook Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes   Key Takeaways [1:04] Judy’s path to reversing climate change Grew up in Tacoma, family of musicians Interest in natural world from childhood Shift to career in environmental science Idea to make soundtracks of climate data [5:13] How Judy translates data into music Use satellite record of Arctic Sea ice Each chord represents season of year Right hand notes = one month of data Above/below long-term average [10:24] Judy’s motivation to share data through music Teaching large undergrad lecture classes Need to connect with important data sets Evoke emotional response [13:27] Judy’s insight on the key changes in her piece Reflect ice entering different state regularly Dissonance when majority of months statistical outliers [16:29] How Judy’s work gives people hope and agency New modality to open conversation Every new approach = important experiment [18:28] Judy’s take on meeting people where their values are Value relationship, recognize different approaches Don’t try to change identity but identify overlap [20:59] How to initiate conversation outside your bubble Find common ground (i.e.: economic interest of workers) Connect with civic community  [25:00] The connection between social justice and climate change Food security concerns among fishing community in Alaska Higher asthma rates around highway corridors

Everyone has an opinion about sales, and for many, that opinion isn’t very positive. However, if you’re an entrepreneur, you’re in sales! There’s no way around that! Despite some reservations about it, we all know that a career in sales can be very, very lucrative. So if you’re looking to increase your income this year, this episode of ProfitBoss Radio is a must-listen. Judy Hoberman is my guest today, and she is sharing with us her lessons learned from a 30-year career in sales.    What surprised me most about this interview is that Judy is very clear sales isn’t about kitschy closing lines or being manipulative, it’s about building a connection with people, asking the right questions and doing the right thing. You’ll love the way Judy makes sales seem warm, friendly and accessible. Judy has experience in just about everything from education to insurance. She even did a stint as a roofer!    Now, Judy is transforming her years of experience into actionable tools that her clients can do to boost their sales. As always, her focus is never on building a script or crafting closers. Instead, Judy wants to take the very natural way that women can build trusting relationships and turn that into a selling superpower. Judy believes that, in a sense, everyone is in sales in some capacity, so I think every ProfitBoss listener will benefit from the incredible advice Judy is bringing to the show today.    What You Will Learn in this Episode:  Judy started in sales as a Girl Scouts who built relationships with her customers.  The company where Judy learned her best sales lesson.  How Judy got her degree in Educated, got laid off, started as a roofer, and then landed in insurance.  Lessons we can learn from the glamorous world of insurance.  What women need to know about how sales actually work.  You don’t have to be slimy and manipulative as a salesperson.  The questions you need to ask in order to build trust.  Hire a coach or a mentor to help you reach those higher levels in your company.  How to run a one-woman show!  Have conversations, not closers.  Advice for people who aren’t “in sales.”      Links Mentioned in the Show  http://www.sellinginaskirt.com/ http://www.sellinginaskirt.com/on-the-radio/   @SellingInASkirt on Twitter and Instagram  

Traditional leadership training is difficult to implement because it’s tough to access that seven-step conflict resolution process in the middle of a team meltdown! Today’s guest is a leadership coach with a different approach. She is on a mission to develop leaders who view management as a collaborative process, who share their vision and then walk alongside their team members on the way to realizing big picture goals.   Judy Lair started out on the ‘other side of the couch.’ As a client, she recognized that her counselor was employing the strategic thinking skills that she considered a personal strength. She applied to graduate school and earned her Master’s from Ashland Theological Seminary in 2002. For the past 15 years, Judy has operated a successful private practice, Counselorplace Christian Counseling, in Worthington, Ohio.   In June 2016, Judy expanded her business to include leadership coaching. She leverages her accreditations as both a Certified Business Coach and Certified Life Coach to help clients become insightful, inspiring leaders and effective problem-solvers.

If you want to learn how to network with the people you most need to meet, nobody can teach you how to do it more effectively than my guest today, Judy Robinett. I came to know about her through reading her book, “How To Be A Power Connector.” Through the book, she opened my eyes to a systematic way to connect with people that influenced my thinking significantly. I invited Judy on the show to talk about her book, but also to share her experience in the angel investing niche - which is significant. Those are two ways you’ll benefit greatly from this conversation, so I hope you take the time to listen. As soon as you learn how to add value to people quickly, you get noticed. Networking used to be nothing more than going to business meetups and exchanging business cards. But even back then, those who knew the “secret” recognized that it wasn’t about being at the meeting to blast out your name and business to others, it was about adding value. Judy Robinett says that those who learn to add value to people quickly, get noticed quickly - and it’s that kind of attention that puts you on their radar in ways that can move your business endeavors forward. Judy unpacks that principle and a whole lot more on this episode, so be sure you listen. Do you know how to get a warm introduction to someone you need to know? It’s so much easier to start a conversation with someone you need to meet if someone they already respect or work with introduces you to them. That’s called a “warm introduction” and it’s not always something that’s easy to come by. But Judy believes that anyone can learn how to get those kinds of introductions - to almost anyone on the planet - if they know how to go about it. On this episode, she shares her two “golden questions” and tells you how to use them to make connections with the people who matter. You won’t want to miss this simple but powerful tip. It’s so obvious it’s embarrassing that I hadn’t thought of it before. Anything you need is attached to people. You need to connect with them. Judy Robinett points out that since the average person knows 600 people, it’s likely that almost everyone you meet is connected to someone that would be beneficial to you or your business. Said another way, the resources and introductions you need the most are only a few relationships away. But you have to know how to go about discovering those relationships and how to go about getting the warm introduction you need. Judy is a pro at doing that and in this conversation he tells me some of the ways she has gone about connecting with high profile people in all industries, government, and more. Don’t ask for help right away, ask how YOU can be of help. One of the foundational principles of power connecting is that you play the long game. Patience is indeed a virtue. Find out what other people do. What are their dreams? Then think of the ways - through your resources and connections - that you can advance what THEY are doing. In this way, you become an asset to them that they won’t easily forget. When the time comes that you need to ask for a favor or introduction, they’ll respond in light of the value you’ve already provided to them. In other words, they’ll trust your motives because you’ve already been generous to them - and they’ll be eager to help. Judy Robinett is my guest today and she shares a lot more tips like this one, on this episode.     Outline of This Episode [0:24] My introduction of Judy Robinette and this episode.
