I'm seeing these articles all over the place about how large, small, and midsize companies are bringing in etiquette experts to teach younger employees how to communicate. Let's be honest: I'm a baby boomer, so I'm a talking generation, and Gen Z is a texting generation. Some of the basic soft skills that you need to be successful in life are not being taught in colleges. Sometimes the parents are not teaching these things, and so that's when you bring in a guest like my next guest, Julie Jones. She's with Today's Professionals Consulting & Development.

About Guest: Julie Jones is a wife, mother, and JuJu to 4 grandchildren. She's walked a journey of believing that she was broken due to suffering from severe depression and anxiety resulting from extensive life-long trauma.

Episode #200: Unleashing Your Inner Power: Celebrating 200 Episodes of Inspiration Join us today as Colleen Interview's Joel Zeff & Julie Jones on Take the Leap. I am thrilled to share our 200th episode of "Take the Leap"! This milestone is not just a number; it represents countless stories, lessons, and transformations that we have explored together. In this special episode, we celebrated not only the podcast's journey but also the power of resilience and the importance of embracing change. Here are three key takeaways from this episode that I believe will resonate with you: Your Reaction to Change Matters: Joel shared a powerful story about losing his job as a newspaper reporter and how it became a pivotal moment in his life. Instead of succumbing to despair, he chose to react with humor and creativity, using his harmonica to express his feelings. This moment taught him that while we cannot control the changes that happen to us, we can control how we respond. This lesson is crucial in both our personal and professional lives—our attitude can shape our future. Embrace Your Unique Journey: Julie's journey from a police officer and SWAT member to an award-winning speaker and coach is a testament to the power of authenticity. She emphasized that every individual has a story worth sharing and that embracing our unique experiences can empower us to inspire others. In a world that often encourages conformity, let's celebrate our differences and use them as a source of strength. Celebrate Every Moment: Both Joel and Julie reminded us that life is full of ups and downs, but every day above ground is a reason to celebrate. Whether it's overcoming personal challenges or achieving professional milestones, taking the time to acknowledge our victories—big or small—can fuel our motivation and drive. As we continue on our journeys, let's remember to celebrate our progress and the lessons learned along the way.

“Barbara Crane” au Centre Pompidou, galerie de photographies, du 11 septembre 2024 au 6 janvier 2025Entretien avec Julie Jones, conservatrice – cabinet de la photographie, Musée national d'art moderne – Centre Pompidou, et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 9 septembre 2024, durée 19'10,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2024/09/26/3556_barbara-crane_centre-pompidou/Communiqué de presse Commissariat : Julie Jones, conservatrice, Musée national d'art moderne, Centre PompidouLe Centre Pompidou présente la première monographie d'envergure consacrée en Europe à Barbara Crane (née à Chicago, 1928 – 2019), photographe américaine de renommée internationale dont la carrière s'étend sur plus de soixante ans. L'exposition réunit plus de 200 oeuvres, dont une partie récemment entrée dans la collection du Musée national d'art moderne. Réalisée en partenariat avec le Barbara B. Crane Trust, elle se centre sur les 25 premières années de sa carrière, réunissant certaines de ses oeuvres majeures, dont plusieurs inédites. Auteure d'une oeuvre plurielle, Barbara Crane n'a cessé d'explorer les formes et les techniques photographiques (épreuves gélatino-argentiques et numériques, tirages instantanés – Polaroid –, transferts photographiques, tirages au platine-palladium, couleur, noir et blanc…), comme le montre la sélection de l'exposition.Formée à la photographie ainsi qu'à l'histoire de l'art au Mills College (Californie) et à la New York University, Barbara Crane devient photographe professionnelle, spécialisée en portraits. Elle continue sa formation auprès d'Aaron Siskind, à l'Institute of Design de Chicago dans les années 1960 puis enseigne la photographie à l'Art Institute de Chicago de 1967 à 1995.Son oeuvre est remarquable par la synthèse qu'elle opère entre la tradition de la straight photography américaine et une sensibilité plus expérimentale, héritée des avant-gardes européennes, typique des enseignements de l'école de Chicago. Elle associe ainsi une liberté totale envers le médium à un perfectionnisme technique qui la démarque de ses contemporains. Son approche photographique de la ville, Chicago en premier lieu, et de ses habitants anonymes en devient particulièrement singulière. Le contexte artistique dans lequel elle évolue, marqué par le structuralisme, l'art conceptuel, comme ses influences multiples – de John Cage, Henri Matisse, en passant par Merce Cunningham et le cinéma expérimental, influent sur sa pratique dominée par l'idée de séquence et de série, d'accidents et de discipline.Présente dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées américaines, l'oeuvre de Barbara Crane est encore largement méconnue en France. Une importante rétrospective lui a été consacrée en 2009, présentée au Chicago Cultural Center, à l'Amon Carter Museum, Texas et au Griffin Museum of Photography, Massachussetts.#Catalogue de l'exposition – Barbara Crane sous la direction de Julie Jones, coédition Editions du Centre Pompidou / Atelier EXB.

Dr. Julie Jones discusses the power of play and challenges the myth that play is separate from learning. She emphasizes that play is not the opposite of work, but rather the opposite of depression. A playful classroom integrates cognition, movement, and emotion, and focuses on student choice and engagement. Dr. Jones suggests that teachers explore their own play personalities and incorporate play into their classrooms. She also encourages adults to make play more accessible in their own lives through small, playful activities throughout the day. In this conversation, Dr. Julie Jones discusses the importance of play in our lives and how it can be incorporated into our day-to-day routines. She introduces the concept of play personalities, which are different ways in which individuals engage in play. The eight play personalities are Explorer, Director, Joker, Competitor, Kinesthete, Creator, Storyteller, and Collector. Dr. Jones emphasizes the need for educators to provide playful opportunities for students and highlights the impact of play on creativity, empathy, and overall well-being. Dr. Julie Jones is an associate professor in Converse University's Department of Behavior and Social Sciences. She maintains an active research agenda with interests ranging from urban planning to curriculum and pedagogy, always with a mix of creativity and play. She published her first book,The Playful Classroom in June 2020. Her second book, The Playful Life, was published in October 2022.

Travel experiences should be accessible to everyone - I strongly believe that's an important part of the whole thoughtful travel ethos. As part of the Year of Accessible Tourism in Queensland, I've put together this episode about accessible travel on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia - it's full of great stories of people doing better, and I hope you enjoy it! First up, I chat with Daniel Watkins, world champion wake boarder turned owner of the Gold Coast Wake Park and Gold Coast Aqua Park. Daniel tells me all about their recent trial of all-abilities sessions and how important it is to him to make access to these experiences available to everyone going forward. I then speak with Mike Brigg of iFly Gold Coast, a skydiver and instructor who loves helping people discover what it feels like to fly. He has some really interesting stories to tell of the experiences of people with disabilities at iFly. Finally, Anna Carroll from HOTA Home of the Arts explains what they have done as a multi-arts facility to really be an inclusive and accessible venue for people to experience all manner of arts and creative experiences. Thanks so much to Julie Jones of Travel Without Limits magazine and Destination Gold Coast for their help in making this episode possible.

Episode #99: Punctuality In Business Join us today as Colleen discusses the topic of punctuality in business and why commitment equals success. Punctuality is the ultimate form of respect. It shows that you value the time of others, and more importantly, you value your own time. In the fast-paced world of business, time is of the essence, and punctuality is a key player in achieving success. Every successful entrepreneur knows that if you want to win in business, you have to show up, and you have to show up on time. In doing so, you establish a reputation for being someone who takes their commitments seriously, which can only help you succeed in business and in life. If you strive to be punctual, you're not only committing to others, but you're also committing to your own success. So remember, if you strive to be punctual, you're not only committing to others, but you're also committing to your own success.

I will share why and how the BECOME podcast was born in this episode. In addition, you will hear some of the most memorable soundbites from some of my guests. You can get a sneak peek of many different stories from Doctors to Athlet Celebrities, Authors, and Tony Robbins Firewalk chief coordinator.   Connect with Sabine Kvenberg:  Sabine Kvenberg on Facebook Sabine Kvenberg on Instagram Sabine Kvenberg on Linkedin Sabine Kvenberg on YouTube BECOME Podpage Sabine Kvenberg Resources  https://bit.ly/Kajabi_30daysfree   Hello and welcome to my podcast become. My name is Sabine Kvenberg and I am your host, the content will inspire you to reach your aspirations and become the best version of yourself. I feature interviews with successful individuals from various industries, delving into the personal and professional journey, how they overcame adversities and the strategies they used to achieve their goals. We have to become the person we are meant to be first, so we can live the life we are destined to live. That also means we must overcome challenges and work through difficult times to learn, grow and become the next more fabulous version of ourselves. I'm so glad that you're here. Let's get on this journey together. Hello, and welcome to my special anniversary episode. Yes. A year ago I published the first episode of become and I cannot believe how fast that year went by. It was such a phenomenal experience. having this conversation with all those wonderful guests of mine who shared their struggles, their overcoming of adversity. And coming out on the other side is their next greatest self. And this is what this podcast is all about to show you that you are not alone. There are so many other people who have overcome difficult and challenging times. Even so bad that they were already dead. Some literally and some were dead inside. But no matter what, the human resilience is fantastic. And we all have that within us. And I hope that this podcast will help you explore that more and discover that so that you can thrive and you can become your next greater self. In this episode, I share the highlights of the last year's sound bites from some of the interviews that I conducted that I feel you need to hear one more time because they were just such great pieces of advice. or stories that really touched my heart. And if some of the excerpts speak to you and you want to listen to the entire interview, you can do this because I will announce before each of those little sound bites, which episode number it is. In addition, I will share with you how I came about to start the podcast BECOME.  In September of 2021 I sold my business that I had for 27 years a performing arts school and after a few months of adjusting and just relaxing and enjoying my free time. I decided I have to do something more. I cannot just sit at home and do nothing. I have been a coach my whole life and I am also Speaker I enjoy sharing my wisdom my message with a greater audience. So in January of 2022 I was invited as a guest speaker for pod fest here in Orlando, Florida. And during that time, my idea was kindled to start my podcast. I didn't know yet what but I did know that I wanted to make an impact. And then I wanted to share the message of hope, inspiration and motivation. And on one night, I woke up and I was right awake. And this one word came into my mind over and over again. And that word was become we must become the person we are meant to be. So we can live the life we are destined to live and I already started my coaching business. And I coached individuals and helped them to get to that path of becoming their next greatest self. And one of the patterns that I saw over and over again was limiting beliefs. And sadly enough, the notion that they felt they are alone that they found. It's just them and this is far from the truth. There are so many people were struggling with the same things. So with the podcast idea, I thought I want to give people the opportunity to listen to others to know that they are not alone and also listen how others overcame adversities how others overcame challenging situations and literally went into a metamorphosis stage to just break everything down that they know to rebuild everything. To then immerse is there more fabulous self. So here you have it. This was my idea. The idea was born. And June of 2022 I launched my podcast because and I hope you have enjoyed it and if you're listening in for the first time, please continue to listen by subscribing. Every Thursday, I release a new episode and I hope that you will be part of my community. And if you like what you hear, please give us a five star review and write a little review about your experience. We truly appreciate it but without any further ado, let's get into the highlights. The very first episode I recorded was with Dr. Ron Stotts. Now, the sound quality is not the best but the information is really really good. This interview was phenomenal. And that's why I left it in and it is also a reminder you don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to become great. Is there something that someone could do right now, to overcome that? One thing you have to appreciate that everything. All the challenges in our lives are created in relationship to other people. And that really is your indicator that to resolve those challenges. resolving those challenges needs to be done in relationship to other people also. So lots of times, if somebody liked me it was really that other person then they'd be more group work and then they expanded into their lives into their more significant relationships but the healing marriage to me is not coming together and having eternal bliss. It's finding somebody who's willing to stand in the fire and unpack the bags together and really, you know, heal all of that fast together episode four, Laura, Mark Quist. And so after meeting with the endocrinologist doing all the testing and stuff, he's like, Well, you definitely have Hashimotos and that with an autoimmune disease where your body attacks its own thyroid so you can't produce the hormones that you need and your thyroid needs to be imbalanced to get pregnant. And so to do that, we ended up the best program for me it was to use Synthroid to help that get back in balance. And then during that time, I just knew that that wasn't going to be my normal. So I had to start doing some more research in on that to see what other ways can I actually help myself. As a trainer, you you work with a client and they progress in different phases or different chapters and so I had to put my skills to myself, knowing that this is the chapter that I'm in right now and in what I'm training for is like it's not the Olympics. It's the baby birthday. You know, it was kind of my Olympic my own version of the Olympics coming up and so I had to do the things for that preparation. Episode Five, Dana Agnellini 2005 was a pivotal year for me. It was it was the best that life had to offer and the worst all at the same time. And as you were speaking, I never thought of it this way before but I think of let's say, a crab or what are those horseshoe crabs? I think that they change shells. Yes. They have to let go of their old shell to either find one that fits them properly now, or to grow a new one. But the letting go process is just as important as the next step. So I was in this career that was very lucrative with a big, you know, international company and was doing very well. But at the same time I attracted to me a new boss that for some reason or another, just had a problem with me and was trying to work me out in the organization. So that was part of the shell being relieved and at the same time my marriage was disintegrating. I tried to ignore it. We tried for almost 20 years. Because I was never planning on divorcing I had three kids. It just wasn't in my plans. I made myself a promise. I made my family a promise. But the universe knew better. The Universe knew it was time to let that show go. Episode 19 Paul Henszel. So in the beginning of 2010, I was working as a supervisor in a sawmill. I had to unjam a giant log that got stuck against a giant steel beam. Now these logs that we were cutting are called Cats. They're extremely heavy, and each piece weighs about 1000 pounds. Now we had to manually unjam this log before we could, you know, resume production. So I had to crawl into a very tight, confined space. And when we fried this piece, the chains started while I was still in the machine, and I was being crushed alive by 12,000 pounds of wood. I could hear my body cracking, gurgling and crunching. It literally felt like my head was going to explode. There was so much pressure. And I thought to myself, if this doesn't stop, I'm going to die. I then blacked out now. I was not breathing and without oxygen for about 12 minutes. My coworkers had to perform amazing feats of strength just to rescue me and not time limit. When I was freed everyone thought I was dead. They were just about to perform CPR. And miraculously, I started breathing. Episode 22 Jenny Townsend At the end of my first year, I finally got everything under one roof. All my teachers were under one roof. We were rocking and rolling. I started hiring more people. And I made a couple bad hires which resulted in me having to work more, more hours more time and we weren't really making any money which was stressful. For me as I'm a goal oriented person. It was stressful for my husband because he's like you're working all these hours and you're not paying yourself. And my response to him was I don't need to be paid. I love what I'm doing. The fact that I get to work my passion every single day and change people's lives was payment enough for me. He never really connected with the mission of my company, which is one of the reasons why we ended up where we were he always supported me in my dream, but he became very resentful, the fact that I wasn't making money and the fact that I was living my dream when he was working a miserable job. So all these different variables led to a massive disaster. Episode 27 Chris Krimitsos so I had a story to fiction story that I wanted to write that conveyed a message of getting started because of the business group I was part of as well as podcasting and helping people with YouTube and all these different endeavors. I noticed that was a common theme a lot of people where I'll get started when everything's perfect, or I'm not ready yet. And because I've done so many meetings, you wind up seeing patterns over the years in the 1000s of meetings, one pattern you'd see as someone spending two or three years to get ready. Another pattern you see as someone that would start ugly, and then perfect it next thing you know that a hit show a year in or year and a half in. Meanwhile, the other person is still ready, not ready because it's not perfect yet. Episode 39 Wally Green Why are you angry? Why? You're not in America. You're not in a gang. You're not being abused by your stepfather. You you're not part of any of these things. You're in a different country where people actually like you and they don't like you because you can pick up your gun and protect them. They like you just because you're you. So what that was. I love it. Yeah. And that was that was that right? There was a turning point right there that was like about face change, mindset change. Every kind of change you could think of happened there when I actually realize that not everyone in the world is out to get you. Not everyone in the world hates you. And there are people in this world who genuinely care about you. Just because you are you and not what you can do for them. And that was to change. That was the pivoting the pivoting point the turning point. Episode 40 Susan Gold, I feel like we need to be brave. We need to stand that and we need to talk about our truth. And it's not so shameful. So many people have had similar experiences, but we keep it all tucked in, especially in the corporate system that's just broken. So I have to say I've been a bit of a trailblazer not knowing it. Epic episode 41 Brendon Kumarasamy So a few years ago, when I started guesting on podcast, I suck. I was so bad. I remember some guy asked me like, hey Brendon, where does the fear of communication come from? And I was like, what like, I don't know the fear of communication come so like London, Los Angeles, New York City. Like I don't know. So how did I fix this every single day? So I've been for five minutes answered one question that I thought the world would ask you my expertise. But if you do this every single day for a year, you'll have answer 365 questions and you'll people that that is a great approach. I have not heard that one. And I heard a lot of answers. Episode 42 Victoria Pelletier and for me I can very much remember you know being two and three years old and abused by my biological mother. Whether that was got pushed up and downstairs I had teeth that had been impacted as a result of that eat my baby tea. I even to this day, one of my eye drops a little bit lower than the other because I had a cigarette in my eye and I wear a patch for months. So I remembered a lot of it. Those were, you know, ended up being quite formative, even though we would say it's a little bit later in children's lives just because of the trauma that I dealt with. Episode 45 Julie Jones, you don't often see and it's it's kind of a story of my resilience have to if there's something I really want in life, how I go for it. I don't take no for an answer. I was only the third female hired on by my department, which I really had no trouble with the men that I worked with, with me being female because I proved myself early on when I went out for the SWAT team, believe it or not, I'm six foot tall. At that point, I just didn't have enough upper body strength so I wasn't able to get over the six foot wall. And one of the guys in his infinite wisdom decided to give me a little boost which disqualified me and you know the sergeant that was running the the obstacle course you know, he pulled me on the side. I said, I know I'm disqualified. It's okay. I worked out even harder. I improved my upper body strength the second time because I really wanted to be on the team. The second time that I went out for it. You know, I passed everything with flying colors. I officially got onto the SWAT team on my own Episode 47 Dai Manuel. I mean it's a journey, right? We hear that term when we reference people in our lives and how we're living them and it is a journey and and yes, I understand it's easy to focus on a destination or have a goal set or to have some intention on where we want to get to. But if we're not really clear on where we're at and how we got there, it's hard to see potentially the connection of who we were to who we are now to who we are intentionally wanting to become. And so believe me I noticed very, very well I've been in a lot of situations where change has not necessarily come easily. In fact, it's been very, very challenging and, and I've been in a few situations in my life where you know, had I not worked through that change and work through being vulnerable enough to ask for help. I don't think we'd be having this conversation today. Episode 49, Zach White, After you're in that kind of trough place your face is grinding against the floor of rock bottom as it were right. Then you stand up and you start to just put one foot in front of the other. And what I tell everybody who I've coached who's gone through any form of burnout or suffering or a rock bottom experience like this, or if you're going through it right now. You had to bring the time horizon and a little bit. We're not going to solve the whole thing in one move. We're not going to go create the perfect life in one day. Let's zoom way I like to call it drawing smaller circles, rather than solving for the big equation. Let's just solve for this afternoon. What are we going to do this afternoon to make sure it's a little bit better than yesterday to make sure we're not going back to those same patterns or habits that got us stuck in the first place and put one foot in front of the other. Episode 50 the firewall with Dave Albin, Here's the first thing I learned about Firewalker great lesson great metaphor for life. When you take that first step onto those goals. Oh, you'll take the second, third fourth. I guarantee right. You're not going to stop in the middle of that fire lane. Well, that was it. So you did the fire walk and what happened then what changed? Well, what changed was, you know again that night it was spectacular. It was one of the most unbelievable experiences of my entire life. And the next day, this is where it really got interesting for me. I'm in the foyer with 3500 people getting ready to go into the venue and I'm looking around so being and I'm watching all these people and they were communicating unlike anything I'd ever been been around. I've never seen or experienced anything like this. They were laughing. They were crying. They were hugging. They were engaging. They were telling their story. It was just like it was like storytime everywhere. 3500 People just were completely transformed the night before. Episode 51 The Holly Frances And I remember we had to do these trials off the ventilator where I would last for like 15 seconds at a time. They would basically make me breathe on my own and it felt like I was underwater, struggling to breathe about to die. And it was so scary. And I remember crying and hyperventilating and think like, I don't think I'm ever going to be able to do this. I don't believe that I'm ever going to be able to breathe on my own. And something profound that that GBS survivor actually said to me and he actually brought me a sign and he put it above my wall, basically right in front of my bed so I could stare at it. And it was a quote that said courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at days and saying I will try again tomorrow. And I finished the first year was an episode about writing a book can propel your success as an expert. And I talked about that becoming an author is easier than you think. So if you ever wondered what it takes to write a book, I definitely invite you to listen to Episode 52. And if there were one or two that stood out and really piqued your interest, you can go and listen to the entire episode. All right, my friend. This was it for today. And as always, I asked you to give us a good rating or a write a quick review, because that always helps with the algorithm on Apple podcast.

And so I grew up with that same mindset, that same mindset of, okay, you work for somebody, you retire, you get the pension, the gold watch, all that kind of stuff. Being an entrepreneur was nowhere. Nowhere, I will say in my world because there wasn't anybody. Again, I was the first one to go to college. Then I get this idea that I'm going to work for myself, that I'm going to have my own business. 00:00:27 Sabine: Hello, my name is Sabine Kvenberg, founder and host of BECOME. The content will inspire you to reach your aspirations and become the best version of yourself. I feature interviews with successful individuals from various industries, delving into their personal and professional journeys and their strategies to achieve their goals. We have to become the person we are meant to be first so we can live the life we are destined to live. That means we must overcome challenges and work through difficult times to learn, grow, and become the new, more fabulous version of ourselves. I'm so glad that you're here. Let's get on this journey together. 00:01:19 Sabine: Hello and welcome, Julie Jones. I love that, the JJ, Julie Jones, the coach that's Getting Shit or the Get Shit Done coaching. So as you can see, she is so lively with her colors and hair and whatnot. So I'm so excited to have you here today.  00:01:38 Julie: Well, I am so excited to be here and thank you. And you know, it's funny because most people don't ever just say my first name. The alliteration Julie Jones just seems to run off, easily off people's tongue. So I'm used to Julie Jones. Whether or not they know me or not, it's Julie Jones. 00:01:59 Sabine: Yeah. Oh, that reminds me, on this one, one of my favorite movies called The Holiday. And she introduced herself as, who are you? Amanda Woods. Oh, Amanda Woods. Amanda Woods. Like her one first name, right? It was funny. Anyways, I digress. So today, I would love to hear your story because your story and your journey is quite exciting. You actually started out before you even get into this coaching. You were a police officer, right? So tell me about, first of all, how you got to become a police officer.  00:02:41 Julie: Wow, we're going back. So that's an interesting kind of journey. I had been best friends growing up, and we're still friends today. So I met my best friend in kindergarten, and her father was a police officer. And I didn't realize how much of an impact that that had on me, like, kind of hanging out in that environment until when I was deciding to go to college. And I was the first one in my family to go to college. I had been very strong in math, technology, science, those types of fields. And so I was going to be a medical technologist. I was going to do labs and all these kinds of things. And then my junior year of high school, I decided to start looking for colleges that offered criminal justice. So I have a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in psychology. My intention was to go into the Secret Service. And it was during a career fair at my college that I found out you had to have almost perfect vision, almost 20/20 uncorrected for Secret Service, which I had no idea. At that time, I was legally blind. I was 2800 in my one eye and 21,000. I did wear contacts. But you couldn't have corrected vision and have that severe of blindness, I guess, is the best way to put it. So I decided to then pursue a career in law enforcement. Not FBI, not Secret Service. The Feds didn't want me, but the cities did, so that's where I ended up.  00:04:15 Sabine: So you were a police officer and also a SWAT member, right?  00:04:22 Julie: That is correct. So I did spend my career on patrol, and there was an opportunity to be on the SWAT team. And so our SWAT team at the time was an on call position, so we wore pagers. Okay, I'm dating myself because I'm talking about pagers, but we wore pagers 24/7. And then when a serious incident would come in, we would be paged to come in and to handle the call. And boy, now things have really even changed in that department because it's a pretty significantly busier department than even when I was on. And so, yeah, I was on the SWAT team. I often say, and it's a story of my resilience of two, if there's something I really want in life, how I go for it, and I don't take no for an answer. I was only the third female hire on by my department, which I really had no trouble with the men that I worked with, with me being female because I proved myself early on.  00:05:19 Julie: But when I went out for the SWAT team, believe it or not, I'm six foot tall, at that point, I just didn't have enough upper body strength, so I wasn't able to get over the six foot wall. And one of the guys, in his infinite wisdom, decided to give me a little boost, which disqualified me. And the sergeant that was running the obstacle course, he pulled me on the side. I said, I know I'm disqualified. It's okay. I worked out even harder. I improved my upper body strength the second time because I really wanted to be on the team. The second time that I went out for it, I passed everything with flying colors. I officially got onto the SWAT team on my own, and that was how I always wanted to do things, was didn't matter if you were male or female, it was the most qualified that, who was getting on the team. And I proved myself.  00:06:08 Sabine: Absolutely. And it also shows that you had perseverance. You didn't let this incident discourage you or say, well, I cannot make it. No, even more. And that's how you lived your life. Now, how did you make the transition to say, okay, enough with the police stuff?  00:06:31 Julie: Well, it was twofold. So I had been a police officer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. And then I moved about 21 years ago to Arizona, which is where I currently live now. And it was during that time that a couple of things happened. First and foremost, I realized that in law enforcement, as much as I loved it and that I was very good at it, I really was. I had great communication skills. There were so many things, yet there was just a lot of negativity for me. And one of the hardest things I ever did as a law enforcement officer was give death notifications. So I saw how quickly life changed, here today, gone tomorrow.  00:07:11 Julie: And when I moved to Arizona, I had the application pulled. I was going to go back into law enforcement. And then it personally hit me that my mom, at the age of, young age of 57, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. And it was in that moment that my mom's dreams and my father's dreams went to the wayside because they were of the generation that you retired and you waited till retirement to be able to have the lifestyle, to live the dreams, to live the goals, everything you had worked so hard for. And I realized that I wasn't going to wait anymore to start living my life, that I was going to start living in the moment. So that's exactly what happened. I pursued career paths that gave me the opportunity to be able to really help people.  00:08:00 Julie: See, I've always wanted to help people. I've had this strong desire to help and serve and love people. I just wasn't able to do it in law enforcement as much as I would have liked to have done. So that's what made me transition into speaking, coaching. Eventually, now, I have a television show. So all these things and it's been a journey, but it was the personal journey of losing my mom and then eventually losing my grandmother that really got those wheels turning to get off the hamster wheel. 00:08:32 Sabine: And I totally get it. I think things changed in the world that we live today. People are not waiting any longer or don't want to wait any longer, right? They're even frustrated in the jobs that they're in right now because it doesn't give them the security and they are not appreciated most of the time and they just feel that life is passing by. And having that mentality, well, wait until you retire and then you have fun. No, I love that you took that moment in time to make that shift. Now, how hard or difficult was it? Or maybe not, when you made the decision you're not going to go back to law enforcement, you start your own business. How was that journey for you?  00:09:27 Julie: Honestly, Sabine, I think for anybody, life is about ups and downs. It really, truly is. There were moments that I was so excited about what I was doing, and then there were moments where, oh, my gosh, what did I just decide to do? See, because again, my parents, especially my father, because my father worked full time and supported our family. He started working at the age of 25. And he retired at 55, and he put 30 years in for the city of Milwaukee. So that was what he knew. He knew about being an employee. And so I grew up with that same mindset, that same mindset of, okay, you work for somebody, you retire, you get the pension, the gold watch, all that kind of stuff.  00:10:13 Julie: Being an entrepreneur was nowhere. Nowhere, I will say, in my world, because there wasn't anybody. Again, I was the first one to go to college. Then I get this idea that I'm going to work for myself, that I'm going to have my own business, and if there's anything that I know about myself is that I'm a risk taker. I'm like, okay, I don't know exactly what this is going to look like, and I'm going to figure it out. And there were times, like, for all of us, I would want to just curl up and cry because I'm like, okay, maybe this isn't exactly everything that I thought it was going to be, but the one thing that I knew, and I knew so well is that, again, that resilience, that perseverance, the saying yes to life opportunities. Because my mom and dad, both, my mom died with her dreams going to the grave. My dad did as well because he first initially helped my mom take care of her when she was sick. And then, more importantly, when she passed away, that was it. He had all of his dreams built around a life that was going to be spent with her.  00:11:19 Julie: And if I knew one thing, I knew one thing that I was not going to follow that same path. And trust me, there were times that I knew it would be easier for me to fall back on getting an application, filling it out for a police department and going back in, because any department would have been happy to have me based on my experience, based on my communication skills, based on everything that I brought to the table. But I won't quit. I just will not quit. And I will figure out a way to make it happen. And I got support. If you're an entrepreneur listening into this, it's all about the support. One of the biggest things I can say is, don't be a lone ranger. We're not designed to be in it alone. Find the people. Find your tribe that are going to support you in making your dreams and helping you to make your dreams come true.  00:12:13 Sabine: Let me hop in here real quick to share something with you. Have you ever tried to build your own website, start a newsletter, or build a course and charge for it? Have you ever wanted to make money online, but are totally confused by all the different systems you need to have? That's why I use Kajabi.

You got to have a support system. Now, how did you build your support system? Say, you started out, okay, I'm going to become a coach. I'm going to share my knowledge. But how did you get the support that you needed? And what were the path that you took?  00:14:48 Julie: The biggest support system and the biggest thing that I did was effective networking. See, the state of Arizona is very unique in the fact that everybody is almost a transplant. I do find natives now, but it seemed like 20 years ago. It was very rare to find a native, someone who had been born and raised in Arizona. So I remember growing up in Wisconsin that you always knew who you were going to use. Like, imagine this, the TV repairman. There was a time where TVs got repaired, right? And so with that, everybody in the neighborhood called the same TV repairman, right? We all knew who to call, and that was based on referral, kind of thing, but we just all knew. You came to Arizona. And I had some pretty bad experiences initially with some different services because I didn't know who to use and I didn't know who to call. And even 20 years ago, Facebook wasn't like you didn't go to Facebook and say, hey, who do you use, right?  00:15:52 Julie: So I started networking. I mean, I just kept putting myself out there and I started building relationships and I started connecting with people. And what I discovered, which I've always known about myself, is I'm a master connector of people. So it wasn't so much about what was happening for me. I would get so excited. When I met, like Sabine, I mean, like how we met, right? We met through Melissa Dealy. Melissa Dealy knows both of us. She introduces us as I think the two of you would be a great connection. And now the rest is history. I'm on your podcast. You're going to be on my podcast, right? We instantly had such a great conversation when we met and that's exactly what I love to do. So I have built everything that I have. Some of my best friends, all of my resources, so many amazing things in my life have all stemmed from networking and really caring about people first and helping them first before I ever asked really for support for myself.  00:16:55 Sabine: This is a very important part to really helping others first and then everything else will fall in place. Always start giving and then you will receive on the other end. Maybe not from that same person, but it comes from different sources. If you would give someone advice today who is an entrepreneur or wants to become an entrepreneur, obviously we are living in different times than it was 20 years ago. Now we are in this fast paced, ever so fast changing business models and environment and with social media and so forth. So what would be your advice for a new or aspiring entrepreneur to become successful?  00:17:46 Julie: Well, it's a little twofold. They fall under the same category. But I'm just going to say if you don't ask, you don't get. So it's really about asking and putting yourself out there. I know that that can be uncomfortable at times, but really ask for what you want. And the more you put it out there, you will be surprised at maybe, the person in front of you isn't able to help  you, but they have a contact who can. Because with social media, with everything that's out there, Kevin Bacon said it's six degrees of separation. I think it's two. Especially with social media, it's like you look at somebody's profile, you're like, how do we have all these mutual friends? And we've never had an opportunity to meet each other. But in the asking, I'm always about saying yes to life opportunities and remember that no is a complete sentence. And so by that I mean a lot of times as an entrepreneur, you're going to be bombarded with so many things, so many requests. And remember, that when you say yes to any of those requests, you may be saying no to another priority in your life.  00:18:51 Julie: So with the asking comes knowing what your priorities are and what you're really focused in on. It's very easy to leave sometimes a company and leave corporate America because you're tired of being on the hamster wheel, but then to recreate the hamster wheel because of the fact that you're working 24/7. A lot of it is delegation and some other things. There's so many things, but it's really the art of saying no, saying yes to the get to's, saying no to the have to's, and making sure that you ask for what you want. 00:19:27 Sabine: That was good to the point. You are so right. Especially when we start out, we think we have to grab every opportunity, say yes to everybody, and be on everybody's radar and be on everybody's group. And then you don't do nothing because you can't, you cannot have meaningful conversations or connections. And it's also interesting when you put your intentions into making meaningful connections, those connections will come and be very aware. And that's the first thing to start out, be very aware in setting priorities, as you said. So you mentioned you have your own TV show. What type of show is it? What do you do?  00:20:13 Julie: Well, so my platform or my core message, as I like to talk about, is the premise of stop waiting, start living. So it is based on what I saw as a law enforcement officer and what I saw in my own life and that we don't know how much time we have. So I just really want to inspire people to start taking action in the now. Really, it's all about we can put off everything for tomorrow and we don't know if tomorrow is ever going to come. So the TV show can be found on Roku, Amazon, Apple, on the internet. It's on a station called Zondra. I know people are like Zondra. It's a Z. Z as in zebra. Ondra, O-N-D-R-A. That's the Zondra network. And the basis of the show is very similar to my core message. So I interview business owners and people don't always need to have a business. They may have a passion project where things have happened in their life, have knocked them down over and over and over again, and still they continue to get back up, rise to the occasion, and build the life of their dreams. 00:21:22 Sabine: Was there a time or a period in your life that you went through that, always you were knocked down again, knocked down and came to a point, it's like, oh? Have you experienced something like that?  00:21:40 Julie: I have. And it was around the time that interestingly enough, where, you know, I don't know when this is going to broadcast, but we're taping in March of 2023. And this month, my mom is gone 19 years. 19 years, but a month to the day after she passed away, my grandmother passed away. So now I have two strong female figures in my life that had a big influence on me, passed away within 30 days. And I have never experienced anything like that. Of course. I mean, it was traumatic, but more importantly, what it did was I started to spiral. And my husband at the time, who's now my ex husband, he basically told me. He's like, listen, if you don't go _____ down, our relationship is not going to weather this storm. And so I went to go, see a doctor, and I ended up being diagnosed with depression. And at that time, 19 years ago, I think that there was a different connotation of depression. I really looked at it as a stigma. I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm being diagnosed with depression.    00:22:49 Julie: What does this mean for me in my life? And I had a hard time. I mean, I was put on an antidepressant, and I was on that for a while. And I just didn't have the motivation, the energy. I mean, I remember sitting couch a lot. I remember drinking a lot. There were a lot of things, and it just took me down that rabbit hole. I just spiraled. The medication eventually did start to kick in and start to help. And then, because I'm such a proponent of finding natural solutions, I found some really great supplementation, that helped me get off the antidepressants. And then it was in those moments again that it just became very clear. All right, mom passed. Grandma passed. Again, you don't know how much time you have, so get off the couch and start going after your dreams. And so that's exactly what I did. And it didn't happen overnight. I'm telling you, it was a process. 00:23:48 Julie: My heart goes out to anyone who struggles, and that wasn't my only struggle. That was 19 years ago. And I always tell people, my life is not sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns. Just recently, a little less than two years ago, my husband and I were at a wedding, and he had a massive seizure, and he died at the wedding, and they resuscitated him. And so watching someone that you love, again, it triggers everything back again, right? And so having to deal with that traumatic incident, and I was a week and a half out of releasing my first book. And so having to make the decision, do I release my book or do I put it on hold? And again, because the book was Stop Waiting, Start Living, I knew that I had to put my book out, and I did.  00:24:40 Sabine: Yeah. Wow. I mean, it was something, you see the person that you love die before you. That's stress. That is an unbelievable experience. And thank God that they were able to bring him back, and you were able to have, now continuous love in your life. But you're right. We never know when our time is up. Yeah. Living now is sometimes a decision that you have to make.  00:25:13 Julie: Well, and to your point, that's why I sometimes think that, especially in the United States, it's backwards. I know in a lot of countries, when people take holiday, it's two weeks, three weeks, maybe a month. There are some countries that take siestas in the afternoon. They have a little bit of a slower pace. And I know that things are changing because of technology. But often with my parents, okay, they had the money. Now, they have the time. My mom didn't have the health, right? And so that's where at any given time, our health can be taken away from us. So it's like, I would rather travel now, like you said, have that balancing. Well, I still have my health that I can do the things that I want versus maybe, be in my 70s or my 80s or my 90s because I plan to live a long, long time, right?  00:26:04 Sabine: Yeah.  00:26:05 Julie: But you're not able to get around as much, and maybe you're not able to climb those mountains or go to those waterfalls or do what it is that you want because maybe you're a little unsteady on your feet. So as much as possible, I incorporate. It's like, work hard, play hard.  00:26:23 Sabine: That's right.  00:26:24 Julie: That's what I love to do.  00:26:26 Sabine: That's right. So if people want to get in touch with you, Julie, what's the best way for them?  00:26:32 Julie: The best way is, connectwithjuliejones.com. Just how it sounds. connectwithjuliejones.com.  00:26:41 Sabine: And I'll make sure to put your contact information in the show notes. Julie, thank you so much for being here and sharing your wisdom and your lively energy today.  00:26:52 Julie: You are so welcome. And I have to end with my trademark because this is what I'm all about. I'm known for these googly-eye glasses because you know what? And I've had so much fun with you here today. If you're not having fun, then you need to reevaluate some things, because life is all about making the most of every moment.    00:27:14 Sabine: And that's the mic drop. And for the listeners here, because we have that conversation via Zoom, via video, and Julie just put her lovely, funny eyeglasses on. So you definitely got me giggling here. All right, well, you have a wonderful rest of the day. 00:27:35 Julie: Thank you. Thank you.  00:27:37 Sabine: That was my interview. And if you enjoyed it, give us a five star review, leave a comment, and share it with your friends. Thanks for listening.
