For bestselling poet and author Maggie Smith, sometimes the secret behind making her poetry interesting, unexpected, and surprising comes to "making it weirder." Maggie's unapologetic, unabashed approach to her work is the reason her work has been read by everyone from Meryl Streep to Dr. Jill Biden. Maggie hits on something essential about successful creativity. How do we be truly honest in our work? Sometimes it means admitting that we DON'T want to write every day. Sometimes it means making sure you don't miss that therapy appointment. Being honest with yourself is the only way you can be certain to be honest in your work. In this interview, Maggie and Jen also discuss: - What if feels like to have written a poem that goes viral when there is a mass shooting or other horror - How to incorporate our everyday experiences into our writing - The art of paying attention - How to unlock a good metaphor - How Maggie navigated her divorce in public and how it became her best-selling book Keep Moving --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jennifer-louden/support

Maggie Patterson is the editorial director at Scoop Studios and the creator of Small Business Boss. With two decades of experience, Maggie has spent her entire career in client services and has been a successful entrepreneur for 15 years. Today, she works with freelancers and agency owners to help them implement smart strategies for business growth using proven marketing, sales, and client experience tactics. She's the host of the BS-Free Service Business podcast, has been on stage at events such as New Media Expo, Podcast Movement, and the Conquer Summit, and her work has been featured in leading publications such as Entrepreneur.com, Fast Company and Virgin.com. Here's what we covered on the episode: How We Met + Maggie's Journey (1:10) How we connected through Jessica Kupferman's podcast and Facebook group  Maggie shares that she worked at an agency, became pregnant in 2003 and with everything going on in her life decided not to return after her maternity leave The business plan Maggie wrote when she first started, which said she had four months to make 4,000 CAD ($3,186.32 USD)/month, which seemed unreachable at the time — she reached it in 6 weeks  Why Maggie was able to reach her goal in 6 weeks was because she had the extra business skills needed to run a business that most people don't have  Maggie spent time freelancing, doing PR work, then got into content marketing but realized around 2013/14 she wasn't happy with the clients she was working on, which led her to the online business world where she went from freelancing, to having a team, to building an agency Through her agency journey, Maggie realized she didn't want to work for online celebrity entrepreneurs anymore so she went back to working with tech and professional services companies Maggie explains that she had a safety net when she started her business, because of her husband and living in Canada which gave them support; and says not a lot of people have that starting out  How Maggie had three clients right out of the gate, which helped her surpass her 4,000 CAD/month goal and explains that her hourly rate was 100 CAD ($79. 62 USD)/hour, which was a fraction of the cost compared to when she left the agency, where they were charging her out at 250 CAD ($199.06 USD)/hour  Maggie shares her personal benefits from the online business world, like learning a lot, approaching a different style of content marketing, and most importantly building connections and friendships  How Maggie now mentors other business owners and how she likes helping them create their own path  We describe what the online space is, where experts of all sorts take their business online and how Maggie exposes some of the marketing tactics being used in the space today — check out Maggie's Instagram for more context    Maggie explains that there are a lot of good people who may be using tactics that are problematic or questionable because that's what they've been taught and how she's not saying she's never done anything she now considers problematic, but explains she's done the work to unpack that  Approaching Referrals: How to Ask + Keeping Track of Them (17:34) How most of us approach referrals is by waiting for someone to come to us instead of thinking about what we can do on an ongoing basis to let people know we want their business; Maggie explains we need to make the switch from passive to proactive when it comes to referrals As business owners, we make a lot of relationships and connections but we don't nourish them, which causes people to forget about us down the road Maggie shares a story of how she was able to stay top of mind for a client she had way back in 2003 by putting consistent content out about the recent service they needed, so she thought of Maggie and hired her How we tend to think it's a bad thing to let people know we need clients, but Maggie explains that people aren't going to refer clients to you if you act like you're booked and everything is fine; you don't need to say you're struggling, just be clear that you have openings for clients  One way Maggie asks for referrals is by letting people she's already made relationships with know that she has a spot open and by asking them if they know anyone to fill that spot  Why it's important to create an offboarding process where you have the opportunity to ask for referrals and why Maggie would rather ask for a referral over a testimonial in the offboarding process  Maggie stresses the importance of being transparent about when your next opening will be if you're currently fully booked and shares an example of a client who started doing this and was able to book out months in advance without having to shut people down by just saying, I'm booked, sorry!  Why Maggie keeps track of referrals she gets, the referrals she gives, and tracks leads because the more information she has, the easier it is to see what's working and what's not in her business  With everything going on in the world today, it can be hard to know if it's the right time to ask for referrals — Maggie suggests engaging in a back and forth conversation that allows you to read the room instead of jumping right to it  How Maggie has her lead generation data on her dashboard so when she's looking at revenue, she can also see the lead generation trends and see what kind of action she needs to take in order to get more clients, which is usually through referrals  Shifting the Type of Clients You Work With (34:35) When creating an email list for B2E (business to entrepreneur), Maggie says to think about who your target audience is, think about if they'll be interested in getting emails, and if they're the type of people who are going to buy from emails  In Maggie's experience her B2B (business to business) clients are way less likely to download a lead magnet so she stresses knowing your market, knowing if they're going to engage in your emails and if they aren't, figuring out an effective tactic to get in front of them Maggie shares that shifting the kind of clients they were working with was a slow process but if you want to make that shift, you have to figure out where these people are hanging out in the online space, see what podcasts are they listening to and make an effort to meet them where they're already at How cold outreach can be an overlooked tactic but if you move into the B2B world it's acceptable — Maggie shares that the majority of her new client revenue in 2019 came from cold outreach  The bulk of Maggie's content marketing agency is focusing on content production for clients, and acting as an extension of the client's team to help them with strategy, write their blog posts, create their case studies, create their white pages, etc.  Maggie says one thing that holds us back is thinking we have to know everything about an industry and thinking it has to be perfect when really it's okay to experiment  If you want to transition out of the online space, Maggie's advice it to take some time to experiment working with other types of clients because it's really easy to pick a niche, but it's much harder to truly embrace it and work in it all the time  Connect with Maggie on smallbusinessboss.co, Instagram, or if you're a service provider who needs help with pricing, packaging, leads, etc. go to smallbusinessboss.co/vault for resources that can help you    Links mentioned:   Connect with Maggie on Instagram  Small Business Boss  Small Business Boss Vault    Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

For years, Maggie made an annual goal to get out of credit card debt but despite her best efforts, the credit card debt increased year after year from $2,000 to over $16,000. When Maggie thought about what she needed to do to achieve her goals of paying off debt and saving money she wasn't able to see beyond her reality, the reality that seemed to say that she'd be in debt forever despite her best efforts. She also held the belief that she would never be good with money because that meant she needed to be disciplined and follow a set of strict rules. Maggie decided to hire a coach because she desired different results. After a couple years of setting financial goals and not meeting them it became clear to her that she needed another strategy. As her financial coach, it is safe to say that Maggie had a resistance to budgeting because she did not see how budgeting would allow her to live a carefree life. Over the course of my one month intensive, Maggie shifted her mindset about money. She started to see how we were simply making a plan that allowed her to align her finances with her priorities so she could make informed decisions. Her plan allowed her to make room to save for travel, pay extra on her credit card debt to eliminate it within the next 12-18 months, and also helped her prioritize setting aside money for less sexy things like saving for a new roof. Tune into this episode and hear more about the progress Maggie has made in the last year. In this episode you'll learn… Why Maggie thought budgeting would never work for her because she held the belief that it was about discipline and not freedom How she realized she was making decisions on flawed information about her finances How Maggie started to build a real emergency fund to cover at least 3 months of expenses Maggie's realization about how she could have credit card debt and still save for other things she cared about like travel How she's reallotted money since we've started working together Maggie's new definition of discipline and how it's helped her to be indulgent in with her spending without guilt or fear Having a budget doesn't mean you won't be able to enjoy your life and I'd argue it's the very thing you need to see progress towards your financial goals and gain a sense of clarity about the next purchase you want to make. A budget allows you to make purchases without the stress of wondering whether you'll be able to pay your bills on time, pay down your debt, or cover an emergency. If you've ever thought that life is too short to live on a budget, you'll want to tune into Maggie's episode because she held a similar belief - and she moved past it to pay off over $11,000 worth of credit card debt and a three-month emergency fund.

I have a guest today, Maggie, from Pittsburgh, who has come forward to share her story with us. This is the third time she has been in recovery from alcoholism and is going to tell her story of her past, her present, and where she plans on taking her life in the future. Maggie is in our program at Rock Recovery Center. She is 25 years old and started drinking 13 years ago as a result of trying to keep up with her two older brothers. The crack head down the street would go and buy them alcohol in exchange for watching her child when she was gone. Since their parents were out working a lot, her friends and her brothers' friends would come over to their house and party after school in their backyard pool. They would clean up their mess and then go to a park or another location to continue to party. She started high school at a Catholic High School, failed 9th grade. Her parents moved to a better area of Pennsylvania, and she was in a new school that was bigger than her old school. In the IMPACT program and not knowing any students in her new school, Maggie gravitated towards the "druggie kids" as they were her classmates. Maggie started doing several different types of drugs when she started going to RAVE clubs. She then got into a car accident, flew through the windshield, and was hospitalized with reconstructive surgery to her face. After high school, she became a bartender and started doing cocaine and Adderall to keep going throughout the day. She was hardly sleeping and felt that she was cool because she was only 18 but was able to be at the bar all day and night. At 21, she was drinking all night and ended up in a stranger's bed. Her friends were concerned with her safety. She realized at this point that she had a problem. Listen in to find out why she mixed Adderall, cocaine, and alcohol to get through her day, how she had blackouts and would sleep with strangers, and why she always had to drink alcohol, even while studying for college. Learn how Maggie broke down and finally called a rehab, how she had an affair with a male married nurse at another facility, and what led to Maggie's relapse after her first rehab.

Key takeaways: - What was happening in Maggie’s business that made them focus their energy on tracking lead generation and what the exponential impact of having solid information was over time - How Maggie proudly chooses to keep her process of data collection super low-tech and uses Airtable as one of her main tools - How collecting the data gave them a taste for the numbers, taking them to next level nerd territory - How granular time tracking allows Maggie to make better decisions and to delegate things in a more informed way - And how having the data helps remove worry and anxiety related to the business because she’s able to see what’s really happening to make a reasonable decision based on facts and not on emotion

But now, over time, we're able to set it ourselves and it's like, ‘oh, well, Maggpie has that so that's what we should get because they have that.’ So that was always a goal where I want to buy what I like. I want to be proud of my collection.” —Maggie Farrell “The day after my 26th birthday I had my first day of chemotherapy.” —Maggie Farrell “I started to really allow myself to just take time and think about what was going on. Just trying to dig a little deeper. And I think I started to feel, I don't know, I just started to get these feelings of like when I was sick, I wish I gave myself more attention and I paid more attention to like my body and my mind but [...] I was just so focused on the business and nothing else and I feel I completely lost myself.” —Maggie Farrell “It was after I wasn't sick anymore.

When we first connected with part-time van traveler Maggie Lam, it was about a post she had written and we reshared on social media. And it was about small gestures Maggie has experienced during her travels, why they you might not know that they are in fact microaggressions, and why representation of people of color within the road travel community matters. So we wanted to have a conversation with her about those small gestures, which you’ll hear in this episode. Through it all, you’ll also get to hear about the small gestures that truly make a positive impact-- like listening to and amplifying underrepresented voices-- and how you can use your privilege for good, both on the road and when you’re stationary.If you’re looking to learn about how to be a better ally and accomplice for people of color on the road, or if you’re simply looking to hear a perspective you might not have before from a female road traveler, this episode is an especially great listen!In this episode, you’ll hear:How Maggie and her partner spend their year on and off the roadSome background on Maggie’s family story, and how her generation tends to view work and travel compared to her parents’ generationMaggie’s experience turning her current job into a remote oneTips for being an effective remote workerWhat is a microaggression?Examples of microaggressions from Maggie’s experiences on and off the roadTips for people in privileged groups when it comes to avoiding microaggressionsResources mentioned in this episode:Follow Maggie on Instagram - @bitesizetravelsMaggie’s original post on microaggressionsJoin us in the @diversifyvanlifebookclub as we read our first book together: So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma OluoWomen On The Road on Instagram - @womenontheroadJoin the Women On The Road Podcast Facebook groupAdditional resources:What are Microaggressions? via VOXExamples of Racial Microaggressions via University of Minnesota21 Racial Microaggressions You Hear on a Daily Basis via BuzzfeedSponsor Websites & Codes:DannerBetterhelp - get 10% off with promo code ROADCove - visit www.withcove.com/wotr for your first month of migraine medication freeEnjoy this episode?

Experts corner: Maggie on hiring a health practitioner   [4:54] Starting line: When Maggie was 22, she was going to school to be a nurse practitioner when her 'body cracked.’ Multiple doctors were unable to diagnose her health ailments.   [7:57] Dr. Doom: A specialist diagnosed her with a rare kidney disease and told her nothing could be done. She was prescribed IV therapy 3x a week for the rest of her life…then scheduled to see him again in 6 months.   [8:35] Tipping point: "After that, I got in my car and bawled my eyes out and knew that I'm the only one that cares enough about me to go the extra mile and figure this out."   [11:02] Lightbulb moment: Her Aunt was seeing a functional medicine doctor at the time and Maggie discovered it was everything she wanted.   [11:39] Hiring a Mentor: She was trained as a functional medicine practitioner and hired a functional doctor to mentor her. He taught her unique practices that aligned with her beliefs.   [14:12] Business model development: Maggie started planning her future in functional med during her maternity leave in January 2017.   [15:17] Turning point: “I have an obligation to spread my words with people who are struggling and still going to traditional medical doctors for these things and decided enough is enough.”   [18:16] Healthy Transformation: Within 6 months of following her mentor's protocol, Maggie's symptoms disappeared.

#139 - The #1 Fear About Retirement: Losing My Mind

Retirement Answer Man

When I speak to clients and potential clients it’s amazing that the #1 fear they have about retirement is not how they are going to support themselves financially, where they are going to live, or what their standard of living will be. The #1 fear I hear from clients is the fear of losing their minds. Dementia, Alzheimer's, and other mental conditions are top of mind for those nearing retirement because they impact the person’s ability to be themselves. On this episode, I’m facing the subject head-on and even have a guest with me to help us understand what we can do things to prevent the onset of those mind-related diseases and conditions. What IS dementia, anyway? On this week’s, “What does THAT mean” segment I’m pulling out the dictionary to discover exactly what it means that a person has “dementia.” I want to take the stigma out of the term so that we can rightly assess how to deal with it and even prevent it if possible. I think you’ll be encouraged by what I discovered as I pondered the possibility of losing my mind. It’s all on this episode. Every single one of us needs to deal with the possibility of losing our minds. None of us can escape aging in spite of the efforts we may have made to avoid it. It’s part of the natural journey of life. But we can do things right now that impact the WAY we age and the type of life we are able to enjoy in the future. One of the things we can address is whether or not we lose our minds through a condition like dementia. On today’s show, I feature a guest, Maggie Moon to talk about what dementia is, how we can prevent it, and why it’s such an important issue to think about now while we still can. I hope you’ll take this issue seriously because aging is not something you can avoid - but some of its effects are things you CAN potentially avoid. The primary way to avoid losing your mind: DIET. You knew it was coming, didn’t you. When it comes to preventing those mind altering conditions like Alzheimer’s and Dementia (and many others) the only thing you can truly do to prevent yourself from experiencing them is to give your brain and body what they need to be strong - and that comes through good nutrition. Today’s guest is Maggie Moon, a registered dietitian and researcher who has extensively studied the issue of diet as it relates to the brain. You’ll find Maggie very engaging and quite helpful in the way she describes the things you can do to ensure that your brain is as healthy as it can be as you head into your retirement years. Happiness is forged one day at a time. If you think of the concept of happiness as something that can exist both now and in the future, you begin to realize that tomorrow’s happiness depends, to a large extent, on the actions you take today. If you’re going to enjoy a fulfilling and meaningful retirement then you have to think ahead and actually DO things today that will lead you there. That’s why I’m talking about a difficult condition that none of us wants to happen to us (dementia) on this episode of the podcast. I want you to be equipped for the happy retirement you’ve always wanted. OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN [0:50] My introduction to this episode’s topic: The biggest fear people have. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SEGMENT [3:40] What IS dementia?
