INTRODUCTIONKnowing how could react customers in front of your products and packaging is very valuable. So the main question is: Do you really know what motivates the choices of your customers?  Our guest, Lindsey Boyle is sharing 7 main motivations from a recent and actionable study. This remarkable approach – from a Finnish and Canadian collaboration – activates opportunities for marketing strategy, targeting, communication, and innovation. In this episode,  you will learn diverse WHYs behind customers' actions, you will understand what motivation segmentation enables compared to persona,and you will even visualize the main factors influencing decision-making.I enjoy how Lindsey made data and definition humanly alive and with a lot of advice about how to adapt messages on packaging.Here is a little spoiler alert: Making sustainable choices is not always motivated by ecological preoccupation. So, ask yourself to which motivation you mostly identify yourself, as well as your main customers.  ABOUT LINDSEY BOYLE FROM CIRCULAR CITIZENLindsey is passionate about business that supports people's well-being and regenerates nature. Working at the intersection of the climate emergency and the circular economy, Lindsey has a 20-year career as a strategist for brands like Google, Whole Foods, and The North Face, and now creates insight into target audience's needs and motivations to help make 'circular' choices mainstream.  Lindsey's most recent work was as Lead for OneEarth's www.oneearthweb.org/motivations project, which is a segmentation that has revealed 7 ‘Lighter Living' dominant motivations driving choices for the BC population. Lindsey recently shared this insight at the World Circular Economy Forum 2021. WHERE TO FIND LINDSEY, CIRCULAR CITIZEN, AND ONE EARTH?The LinkedIn profile of Lindsey: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindseyjboyle/Her email: lindsey at circularcitizens.comThe website of Circular Citizen: https://www.circularcitizens.com/The website of One Earth: https://www.oneearthweb.org/ RESOURCES MENTIONED AND RECOMMENDED IN THIS EPISODEI invite everyone to explore the Report ‘7 Motivations for Lighter Living Action in BC' which is very readable and activable, not boring at all, and with nice visual resources: ttps://www.oneearthweb.org/motivations.html. The Finnish report from SITRA ‘What motivates smart consumption?': https://www.sitra.fi/en/publications/what-motivates-smart-consumption-using-motivation-profiles-to-support-business-planning/.The ICPP (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change) report: https://www.ipcc.ch/.

In this episode of the Focus on Local Podcast, host Ellen Matis, of Hello Social Co., chats with Stephanie Fost, executive director of the Habitat for Humanity of Centre County. In this episode, Stephanie talks about how the organization is widely known for some of its initiatives, but uses social media to highlight the lesser-known resources in the community: Like the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.  As a non-profit, Stephanie says "we have so much potential to do more good in the community and it would be impossible as a nonprofit to do what we do without the modest budget that social media allows for."Each episode, businesses pose Ellen and “Ask Me Anything” question — their opportunity to pick Ellen's brain and talk more about social media marketing. During this episode, we talk about what's next for Habitat for Humanity on social media ... and it involves trying out a new platform!

(S3, EP 8) In continuation of the Season 3 theme, "Where Do We Stand?", Indiana State Representative Chris Chyung joined me as my guest for this episode. In 2018, he became the youngest (at 25 years old) & first Korean-American elected into office in Indiana's history by beating the district's long-time incumbent by only 82 votes in one of the state's traditionally GOP districts. This year, he is running for a very tight reelection race. Rep. Chyung talks about the challenges of running in 2018 as someone new to politics and as an Asian-American running in a district that is 90% white and GOP-leaning. He discusses what he's learned since taking office and working in a state where the GOP holds the majority control as a Democrat. We talk about the issues affecting his constituents in the wake of Covid-19, his own approach to navigating his district's politics and with the Democrat party, and his upcoming reelection campaign.

Joe Connell has been Executive Director of the Building Materials Reuse Association (BMRA) since 2017. Being in the building trades since I was 15 years old, and in reuse nonprofits for the last 20 years I am a builder at heart. Whether it's renovating our 1887 home on an offshore island in Maine, or restructuring and building a nonprofit for success, I delight in looking for ways to improve systems and structures. Building a successful nonprofit, is not much different than building a solid house; square, level, plumb, is the trick; and keep the junk out. The difference with nonprofits is that the people are the foundation; and that's the fun part. Since 2000, I have been a leader in the reuse industry, first in the Northwest where I helped launch several local reuse groups in Portland, Oregon; and served on the City of Portland's Deconstruction Advisory Group to pass the nation's first deconstruction ordinance. Then nationally with Habitat for Humanity through my work on the National ReStore Committee. I am now continuing that work nationally with the BMRA. While with Habitat we built the Portland Habitat ReStores into one of the nation's top 5 ReStores in revenue and net profit. Since joining the BMRA I have been revising and refocusing the organization to align the BMRA with other industries in the sustainable materials management industry and continue to heighten the awareness of reuse and deconstruction. I am also strongly focused on the incredible potential for workforce development and social ventures within the reuse economy. Other than building and rebuilding I love to cook, garden, and walk the rocky island beaches of my home in Maine. My favorite quote is from another Maine transplant;  "I wake up every morning determined both to change the world and have one heck of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning the day a little difficult." E.B. White   Joe Connell - Get To Know Joe Joe grew up in an inner city,  New Jersey working class family.  He went to school in Chicago, Wheaton College and got into construction because his father was a painter.  Joe started working with his dad when he was 13 and then decided he did not want to be a painter, so he learned how to be a carpenter. “Growing up in an inner city in New Jersey it was a rough place, a rough environment,  I didn't get out of New Jersey or really see trees without buildings until I was 13 years old and went to a camp in upstate New York in the Adirondacks and it blew my mind.” -Joe Connell   Early Start of Career While Joe was at camp, it was his first exposure to the natural world.  He was the kid that walked around without permission exploring without permission.  They were always looking for him, but he always found his way back. The men Joe met at this camp became the most influential people in his life. “They taught me what it meant to be a person of honor and respect and gave me something bigger to shoot for while at the same time teaching me that the natural world  was an extremely valuable place.” - Joe Connell   Making a Career in Sustainability Joe lived in New York City after college working as a carpenter and was frustrated with the trades and the amount of waste.  He didn't really know what to do about that or how to wrap his head around it. Joe then moved to Maine and started working with some contractors who were working in the very early stages of green buildings and were way ahead of the curve.  Once they stopped swinging their hammers I went back to school. “I went back to school and got a degree in Conflict Management Mediation and Facilitation because I'd gotten involved in a couple board of directors locally and wanted to turn to non-profit.” - Joe Connell   Potential of Building Materials Joe got a job while going to school at Habitat for Humanity Restore.  He knew construction and building materials but not the sales side of building materials.  They were doing about $250,000 in sales that year but Joe knew it had more potential.

Gates says extensive water damage is likely, but the flames were contained to the north side of the building at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Riviera Beach.

You can create a functional and inviting kitchen your entire family will enjoy without spending a fortune. The average cost of a kitchen remodel is $12,700 to $33,200. Instead of breaking the bank, get rid of that remodeling itch with these ten DIY kitchen updates, all for less than $100. Give your chrome sink a fresh look when you paint it. Use sandpaper and a $4 can of spray paint designed for metal to refresh your sink for a fraction of what you would pay to replace it. If painting’s not your thing, upgrade the faucet, a focal point in your kitchen. Select a stylish faucet or a design that fits your personality. A decorative light fixture upgrades your kitchen’s appearance and only costs $30 to $90. Select a fancy, rustic or chrome light fixture that matches your existing decor or kitchen’s color. Alternatively, you could add a statement floor lamp or hang $8 battery powered LED lights under or inside the cabinets, two smart and affordable ways to increase lighting and create a cozier and more welcoming kitchen space. A coat or two of paint or stain allows you to update your cabinets on a budget. Refinish all the cabinets in the kitchen with a kit for around $75, or focus only on the doors, trim, or shelves to cut costs. For best results and to maximize your time and money, spend adequate time on prep and follow these tips: • Fill in nicks or holes with wood putty. • Sand the surfaces between paint or stain layers. • Allow the paint to dry completely. Consolidate weekly menus and give your kids space to draw when you paint a chalkboard on your refrigerator doors. With painter’s tape, outline the shape and size of the chalkboard. Then apply a few thin layers of $20 magnetic primer and $10 chalkboard paint. When the chalkboard dries, your family will enjoy your new and functional fridge doors. A pop of color on the wall draws the eye and adds excitement to a kitchen. You can create a DIY ceramic backsplash for $25 per square foot or a stainless-steel backsplash for $36 per square foot. You can also choose tile, stick-on metal, or chalkboard paint. Once complete, your colorful or textured backsplash will add visual appeal above your sink or behind your stove. Colorful, textured or decorative outlet covers in chrome, bronze, or Steampunk give your kitchen a new look. To save even more money, decorate your existing covers with paint, paper, or decoupage. Your cabinet handles and drawer pulls may seem insignificant, but they make a big impact on your kitchen’s appearance and style. With your new hardware, a few tools and a bit of time, you’ll add personality and style to your kitchen. The average kitchen has 40 drawer pulls or knobs, so browse your local big box store for an affordable set of hardware. For fine vintage, decorative, or colorful hardware, check out local estate sales or a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Customize your kitchen and maximize its space when you transform an empty wall, cluttered drawer, or unused cabinet into storage for pantry items, cookbooks, or pans. The cost of this kitchen improvement depends on the size, type, and finish of the shelving units, single shelves, pull-out trays, lazy Susans, and other storage options you choose. Now’s a wonderful time to update your kitchen decor and ensure the room reflects your personality and style. For a few bucks, replace worn rugs, boring curtains, and collectibles you no longer love with a new floor runner, bright fabric curtains, and pretty artwork. Spend a few hours clearing clutter from your kitchen cabinets and counters. Toss outdated or unwanted food, donate utensils and appliances you no longer use, and remove items that don’t belong in the kitchen. You won’t spend a dime to create a tidy kitchen that’s also more functional and spacious.

Check your basement, attic, or even other rooms for pieces that could accentuate or complete the look you want. Emily Henderson also shared a great tip in the article about focusing on one statement piece and finding less expensive items to compliment that decor.

The best thrift stores for specific needs: Habitat for Humanity ReStore: fixtures, furniture, hardware, construction supplies. Goodwill: household, paintings, picture frames. If you have a goodwill outlet near you, that's even better - you pay by the pound! Find community thrift stores on Yelp while traveling - you will often find variety, especially in high end/affluent areas If you have friends working in the trades, check with them for discounted or free leftover supplies! But don't take advantage of them :) What YOU had to say on this topic: We received a lot of tips from our Frugal Friends Facebook Community and wanted to share a few of the best! Jen recommended using the nextdoor app, offer up, facebook marketplace, and buy nothing groups rather than purchasing new. Check them out! Lisa reminded us about freecycle a great website to get things for FREE! You gotta be quick though!

Katherine suggests mentioning to friends and family what you're looking for. She has been able to get most of her furniture/appliances/dishware on long term loans or as gifts. Plus, she's always willing to help people move, organize, or downsize, which can often come with the added perk of inheriting some "hand-me-downs" - you never know what they want to give away or get rid of!

Sharyn discusses the Habitat For Humanity ReStores. Building and construction materials you can buy that benefit building homes for families in need.

Gabbing with Josh Vaughn, of Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in St. Louis. Habitat ReStore sells new and used building and remodeling supplies at a discount to the public. The funds generated are then used to help fund building Habitat Homes in St. Louis. The ReStore program has helped divert about 33 thousand tons of waste since 1997. Paul McKnight is the owner of EFS Energy, providing solar solutions for residential and commercial buildings. With solar becoming more mainstream, organizations and people are adapting to solar power around them. And it is all advancing quickly. The cost of equipment has dropped so dramatically just in the last 5 years, when Paul Started the company they were installing for $7 a watt and within 3 years they were at $4 a watt. Between dropping equipment costs and the federal tax credit, solar power makes sense for more of us. Read more at The Green Home Coach Website!

Today, I’m meeting with Ed Blake from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore to discuss how the organization works, and how you can help them with their amazing cause.Looking to buy in the Salt Lake City Area? Get a full Home SearchLooking to sell in the Salt Lake City Area? Get a free Home Equity ReportToday, we’ll be talking with Ed Blake at Habitat for Humanity.What does Habitat for Humanity do for the community?Ed: We provide affordable housing for families in need. We don’t give them the house; they get a 30-year, no interest mortgage, and they pay back every cent we give them. Habitat for Humanity also does critical repairs, primarily on homes that are making people sick.Another service I’d like to talk about is our Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which keeps 781 tons of refuse and turns it into money that comes into our affordable housing program.A lot of this product is new; people think it’s all used or garbage, but a lot of it is actually brand-new. The story goes quite often that if you come down here and you can’t find what you want, just wait a few days—it’ll come in eventually.These are all building improvement items for homes. On the real estate side, if you hear about a family that’s going to take out the kitchen as soon as they move in, donate those materials to us. You’ll come down here and sell or donate it—you get a tax write-off for it as well—and we can also send a truck out to pick it up for you.We provide affordable housing for families in need If you’re going to to be tearing out your bathrooms or kitchens, contact the ReStore and see if it’s a fit for them to come pick up those materials. You get a tax write-off, and you won’t have to haul it to the dump and pay to get rid of it. They’ll absolutely reuse it. Beyond that, if you’re doing any home projects such as finishing or redoing a bathroom or basement, please stop by the ReStore for any number of supplies. There’s furniture, tile, cabinets, appliances, and much more.As one last final touch, who gets these Habitat homes?Ed: The people who get these homes are people in the community who are earning 30% to 60% of the area median income, families in need, and often single parents with their children, which is our largest demographic.Please keep that in mind, and if you’re looking to volunteer, Habitat for Humanity is always a great entity to work with. They are located at 1276 S 500 W, Salt Lake City, Utah 84107. You can also follow their activities on their Facebook page.If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd be happy to help you.

It’s already time for episode 6 of DIY with MRL! Did you know that most people who give up on podcasting, do so around episode #7. I’m trying to improve with each episode, so I know I have to keep going!   Karen Cooper from Dogs Don’t Eat Pizza was our guest this week. Karen talks about how she got her unique blog name, her largest DIY, and even an (almost) DIY failure.  The conversation also goes toward Thrift Store Shopping. Karen explains to gail the difference in Upcycling and Repurposing. Gail realizes that maybe she “plans” DIY differently than many other DIY experts including Karen.  Karen likes to have a plan. Do YOU plan and sketch? Listen to the podcast to get the behind the scenes details of Karen’s favorite repurposed project using old doors from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.  Her project was even featured in This Old House!! Karen wants to encourage anyone and everyone to be brave enough to DIY and use power tools. Gail also made a project from and old door. When given the chance to ask gail a question, Karen asked what was the first BIG DIY around MY Repurposed Life—which was The Ugly Fireplace Makeover. Gail briefly mentioned blue footprints on the painted vinyl floor.   Thanks to today’s Sponsor:     Follow DIY with MRL on Facebook and listen to any episode anytime.
