Derek Marsh joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as the two discuss the role of law enforcement in preventing human trafficking. Derek Marsh Derek Marsh is the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice. He is a retired Deputy Chief of the Westminster Police Department, CA, with over 26 years of service. He co-founded the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force and has been a national and international leader in anti-human trafficking training, investigations, and advocacy. A former Bureau of Justice Assistance Visiting Fellow, Derek has worked extensively to improve labor trafficking investigations and task force collaboration. He holds master's degrees in Human Behavior and Police Management & Leadership and continues to advance education, outreach, and justice initiatives through GCWJ. Key Points It is important to shift law enforcement's focus from a traditional reactive approach (arresting perpetrators) to a proactive model that prioritizes prevention of human trafficking through holistic strategies. There is a strong focus on utilizing victim-centered, trauma-informed approaches in law enforcement to provide appropriate support for victims while addressing the dynamics between victims and perpetrators, rather than solely relying on arrests and punitive measures. There are financial implications of preventative versus reactive responses. Investing in preventive measures could ultimately be more cost-effective than dealing with the long-term consequences of exploitation and incarceration. Collaboration among various stakeholders—including law enforcement, social services, and community organizations—is necessary to effectively address human trafficking and to support prevention strategies that mitigate risk factors for exploitation.

This is episode #334: Law Enforcement's Role in Preventing Human Trafficking. My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan, and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Our guest today is Derek Marsh, an old friend and frequent guest on the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. Derek serves as the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice. He is adjunct faculty in the criminal justice major, a retired deputy chief of Westminster Police Department, and co founded the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force. He's also been a former Bureau of Justice Assistance Visiting Fellow. Derek has worked extensively to improve labor trafficking investigations and Task Force collaboration. We are so grateful that he's on our Global Center for Women and Justice team, and we're eager to dive into this conversation. Derek, welcome. Derek Marsh 1:42 Thank you for having me again. Sandra Morgan 1:43 Yeah, it's kind of hard not to run into you around here. Derek Marsh 1:47 You being the boss and telling me what to do kind of helps. Sandra Morgan 1:49 I know I love it, though, when you were the boss, but I get to have that role now, so it's great. I'm excited because you know how much I love talking about prevention, and usually you're talking about finding the bad guys, locking them up, and making sure they can't do what they did ever again. But now, we're going to look at this from the perspective that law enforcement has a role in preventing human trafficking. Let's start with that question: How do we change our lens so that we're more proactive instead of reactive? Derek Marsh 2:35 It's a difficult lens to change, because a lot of our work in police work is we're rewarded financially,

This week, Pastor Lacey continues our series in Esther with a powerful message about walking in righteous authority.  Key Verses: Proverbs 15:8 Proverbs 15:29 John 14:13 Acts 10:38 Ephesians 6 Matthew 10:7-8 Luke 10:17-21 Ephesians 5 Key Points:  It is the responsibility of righeous authority to expose the enemy  Get your head out of the sand- Who holds authority in the town? Who holds the authority spiritually? Stay in your lane- Where do you have authority?  Stay submitted to the authoirty of Jesus- what does HE want to do? Can you submit to authority when it is not great? You cannot lead if you cannot follow Check your heart! Praying that this messages blesses your week.

In today's episode, I'm sharing stories and learning lessons - both on and off the course - that have shaped who and where I am today. Specifically, I'll share 13 of the most impactful quotes and questions that have helped guide me over the past 20 years.  Below is a list of the quotes I discuss in the episode. But for added context, stories, and action steps, make sure you listen to this episode.  Start listening. Heads-up: I updated my Instagram tag to @thegolfhypnotherapist.  P.S. If you're interested in learning more about how mindset coaching and hypnotherapy can help you get unstuck from the proverbial bunker of poor performance on (and off) the course, click here to schedule a coaching discovery call with me.  Quotes and Questions Shared: It's important to know where you're going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others. Asking for help accelerates results. Action alleviates anxiety. Information alone isn't enough. You still have to do the work.  The results you are looking for are in the work you are avoiding You can't change unless you change If you want what the five percent have you must be willing to do what the 95 percent are not.  You need to know what you're willing to give up (and what you're not). What're the best doing that you're not? What're the best NOT doing that you are? What's your ‘why'? Key Points: It's crucial to know where you're going rather than rushing to get there. Constant action can lead to counterproductive results. Embrace what you don't know as a strength. Collaboration can lead to greater success than going alone. Asking for help is not a weakness; it accelerates results. Action is a powerful antidote to anxiety. Information alone won't lead to change; action is necessary. The results you seek often lie in the work you avoid. Personal change is essential for achieving different results. Understanding what you're willing to sacrifice is key to reaching your goals. Learn from the best in your field to improve your own performance. Knowing your 'why' is vital for motivation and perseverance. Key Quotes: “Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. See this lack of knowledge as an opportunity and a sign to get curious. Leverage this naivety as one of your greatest strengths to make sure that you do things differently.” “The results you are looking for lie in the work you are avoiding.” “What are the best of the best in your industry not doing that you are equally important?” “And that allowed me to start making some massive breakthroughs in my journey of introspection, reflection and awareness, learning more about who I am.” “And I find it creates an immense amount of clarity and peace, ultimately allowing you to feel and experience a sense of freedom and a surge in energy when you're incredibly clear on what you are and are not willing to give up to achieve a goal.” Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Dr. Sandie Morgan looks back at episode #110, with founding co-host Dave Stachowiak, as the two discuss the importance of making just choices with our purchasing power. Key Points It's important to understand that as consumers, we all have a purchasing power that we can use, and it all begins with awareness and consideration of what's good for those who were behind the production of a product. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs provides a list of goods produced by child labor or forced labor and can be found below. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs takes a research based approach to creating this list, using information that is available to the public and can be replicated. Being aware of the good that are produced by child labor or forced labor is a start to individual and collective action. It is an opportunity to become educated in order to change the quality of life for a child, an adult, a human being.

This is episode number 317. We're here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today, we are bringing back my founding co-host, Dave Stachowiak as we revisit a previous episode. You're going to be listening to Episode #110: "Just Choices: Is it Too Complicated?". I was reminded of this episode as I saw all of the chocolate in the stores as we celebrated Easter. This episode opens the door for more reflection on our personal ethics in our fight to make a difference in ending human trafficking. With the passage of time, I've come to value a personal ethic that builds empathy and bleeds into other spheres in our lives where we have influence: your business, your office, your place of worship. Take a listen to this conversation between Dave and me. Dave 1:50 Sandie today, we are looking at a topic that is one that actually pretty much all of us are dealing with, whether we understand that or not, are aware of that or not. That is some of the choices we make in sourcing supplies and working with forming partnerships with organizations that supply things to our organization, and to businesses, and to nonprofits and thinking through that, or not, as the case may be. We've got a lot of tools and resources to look at today, in order to help us all to be more effective. Sandra Morgan 2:28 I tell you, Dave, I've had so many conversations of late, where it's part of who I am. We're having a conversation and I hear people say, "Well, that's too complicated." Because I explained, during Ensure Justice preparation, the idea was to order a little cotton tote bag, and someone had found a really good deal, and I said, "Well did you check the supply chain? Because here in California, we have the Supply Chain Transparency Act." The person looked at me and said, "That's kind of complicated, I don't have time to do that." I said, "Well, it's out of my department, I'm going to do it." This is something I really want listeners to pay attention to. If the people in your company, in your organization, in your church, if you're a pastor, you're the CEO, and the buck stops here. If decisions are made, to not follow through on something that looks a little complicated, ultimately, that's going to be my responsibility. So I stayed a little later, I went online, I checked out the website, and according to the law,

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Lisa Murdock as the two discuss the critical response of medical institutions to human trafficking. Lisa Murdock Lisa Murdock, MSN, RN, CNE Pediatric Acute Care Nurse  & Co-Chair Healthcare subcommittee of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force. Over the past 23 years, Lisa has worked in pediatric acute care hospitals nationwide and in Puerto Rico. Lisa began her journey in anti-trafficking efforts in 2014 after meeting a survivor in the community. That meeting inspired her to expand her work to include exploitation and human trafficking in healthcare education and to implement comprehensive, multidisciplinary, evidence-based protocols for inpatient pediatric hospitals. Lisa believes that healthcare providers, specifically nurses, are uniquely positioned at the frontlines of patient care to identify, advocate, and improve healthcare outcomes for at-risk individuals or those already being trafficked. She is the co-founder of ReVEST Medical Experts which provides healthcare providers and institutions with the necessary tools to improve their knowledge, recognition, response and prevention of violence, exploitation, and risky behaviors amongst their patients and families.  Key Points It is important to inform health care workers with an updated and accurate education regarding human trafficking to move away from the sensationalized imaging and education they might be receiving from the media.  Using a screening tool that is comprehensive, including not just commercial sex trafficking, but also labor trafficking and aids in sensitively asking high risk questions, is important in both aftercare and prevention.  It is essential for an organization to have a policy surrounding exploitation and human trafficking, as well as a response protocol in place, to ensure that people know who to call and how to respond. Upon discharge, it is critical a healthcare provider be aware of resources and referrals to provide the survivor with the tools they need to stay safe.  Resources Ensure Justice ReVEST Human Trafficking Task Force Health Care Subcommittee Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force #278 - Identifying and Interacting with Minor Victims of Human Trafficking, with Dr. Jodi Quas #259 - Which Screening Tool Should I Use, with Dr. Corey Rood Ending Human Trafficking Handbook Orangewood Project Choice  Lighthouse  Waymakers Transcript Sandra Morgan 0:00 It's time to register for the annual Ensure Justice Conference at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice.

Edith Eger: The Choice Edith Eger is one of the few living Holocaust survivors to remember the horrors of the camps. Today, at 90 years old, Edie is a renowned psychologist and speaker who specializes in treating patients with traumatic stress disorders. She is author of the The Choice: Embrace the Possible*. Key Points It's not what happens in life, it's what we do with it. The power we have is to choose to respond, not react. Sometimes seemingly insignificant worries are emblematic of greater pain. If you hate a person, they don't suffer — you do. There's nothing wrong with anger, it's how you channel it. Underneath anger is a lot of pain.

Jen Byyny Jen Byyny is a senior director of product design in health-tech and a graduate of the Coaching for Leaders Academy. In this conversation, Jen and I discuss how to handle change in your career when things keep shifting around you. Key Points It's about people, not product. When lots of change is happening, come back to relationships and communication. Pay attention to the people who support you and the ones you look forward to working with. They will be your champions through whatever happens. Provide space for grace during times of change. Others need it as much as you do. It's helpful to have people in your corner who are pulling for you but who are not tied to the politics or emotion of the situation.

Welcome 7-Figure Educators! In today's episode, I have the privilege of diving into the remarkable journey of Mecca Gamble, a highly acclaimed photographer, branding maven, and owner of Indigo, an agency offering a comprehensive spectrum of creative services while steadfastly upholding the values of authenticity and individuality. Mecca's journey began with aspirations of emulating the legendary Oprah Winfrey, but it led her to a different form of artistic expression as a celebrated wedding photographer. Her focus? Capturing the boundless joy of black women. However, the onset of the pandemic prompted a significant pivot in her career towards personal branding and lifestyle photography for entrepreneurs. This transformation was fueled by the unwavering faith and her profound desire to create a lasting legacy. Get ready to be inspired by Mecca's story and be reminded to follow your divine calling and make purposeful pivots on the journey to success. Tune in to this enriching episode of the 7-Figure Educator Podcast, and let Mecca's journey inspire you to chart your own path towards a purpose-driven and creatively fulfilling life.

And so even though it felt really hard and even though it was really uncomfortable and I did not want to be there, I always knew that I would be in that next place soon. I believe that this wasn't the end of my story." - Mecca Gamble "My faith is what I want to be remembered by, not necessarily my work. Like the work. Yes, but what I want when people say my name, is to say 'Mecca', "You know what? Mecca has a lot of faith." - Mecca Gamble "What's challenging for people is listening to the voice and being obedient to it. Sometimes that obedience means saying no. It means giving up on things.

Scott Shigeoka: Seek Scott Shigeoka is an internationally recognized curiosity expert, speaker, and author. He is known for translating research into strategies that promote positive well-being and connected relationships around the globe, including at the UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and through his popular courses at the University of Texas at Austin. Scott implements his curiosity practices with leaders in the public sector, Fortune 500 companies, Hollywood, media organizations, education institutions, and small businesses. He is the author of Seek: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World*. Often we think about curiosity as a way to get information. And yes, it does do that, but there's a much bigger opportunity that many leaders miss — taking the next step with curiosity to actually help connect better with others. In this episode, Scott and I highlight four phrases that will help you do that better. Key Points It's a mistake to limit the purpose of curiosity to only information gathering. Deep curiosity can be one of the best ways to create connection. Saying, “I don't know,” may elicit fear in a lot of us, but leaders who can do this are often perceived and more competent in their work. The invitation to, “Tell me more,” is a way to respond to a bid from someone for attention that opens to door to feeling seen and heard. Even if you don't literally say the words, “I understand that you're more than your job,” making that clear in your conversations helps limit work-life conflict and uncovers better ways to support others. We tend to have a bias in the workplace for the people who traditionally have the “answers.” Asking, “Who else?” opens the door to surfacing the best ideas, regardless of who they originate with.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Kelsey Morgan and the two discuss the importance of measuring survivor progress. Kelsey Morgan Kelsey Morgan is EverFree co-founder and Chief Program Officer. In 2015, Kelsey founded Willow International to meet the growing demand for quality aftercare and to transform the systems that fuel trafficking. In 2021, Kelsey teamed up with Jeremy Floyd, CEO of 10ThousandWindows, to unite their two organizations to become EverFree. Kelsey is currently pursuing her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine. Key Points It is important to include survivors in the process of creating a tool to connect them with resources.  Research shows that support for survivors of trafficking does not aid in providing them with lasting freedom, something that EverFree has set out to do.  The Freedom Greenlight tool and program was created to be easy to use and incorporates survivor voices.  Direct feedback from the survivor is given when using the Freedom Greenlight tool, to give the survivor individualized resources that will create lasting freedom. The Freedom Greenlight program has adaptations in USA, Uganda, Philippines, Mexico, Bolivia, Kenya, and Cambodia.

This is episode #305: Measuring Victim Service Progress, with Kelsey Morgan. Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. This is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. I am so pleased to have my good friend and colleague, Kelsey Morgan for this interview. Kelsey is EverFree co-founder and chief program officer. In 2015 Kelsey founded Willow International to meet the growing demand for quality after care, and to transform the systems that fuel trafficking. In 2021, Kelsey teamed up with Jeremy Floyd, CEO of 10ThousandWindows, to unite their two organizations to become EverFree. Kelsey is currently pursuing her PhD from the University of California, Irvine. Thank you Kelsey for joining me today. I'm so excited to talk about the research that you've been doing. But before we get there, do you want to give us a little more background on how you became an advocate, a practitioner, and a researcher? Kelsey Morgan 2:02 Thank you so much, Sandie. I'm so happy to be here with you and I would love to. So long story short, I am from Orange County, I learned about human trafficking in 2006, it changed my life, ended up changing my career trajectory, and I moved to Uganda, where I became the director of an aftercare program there. During my time on the ground, this was in 2010, I was really discouraged by the lack of evidence around what programs were effective in supporting survivors into a lifetime of lasting freedom. The team and I, on the ground of Uganda national staff, we developed programs, and we saw that they were working, but we wanted to figure out why they were working. What was special about them? We wanted to find tools to measure program outcomes and we wanted to include survivors in that process. We wanted to have them be the ones leading the process. So I moved back to Orange County and it was actually through our mutual friend Maria Hernandez, that I went knocking on the door of UCI's School of Social Ecology, asking if maybe some grad students would come help me with this idea. It was the Dean of Social Ecology at the time, Nancy Guerra, who said, "Kelsey, if you want to do this, you are the right person to do it." She marched me into admissions and we set out, through a PhD education, to develop a tool to help us connect survivors with the r...

Dr. Sandie Morgan discusses her summer travels and the new perspectives she gained on human trafficking. Key Points It's important to integrate the stand-point theory in our learning, listening, and strategy development in order to help those in the most unique of circumstances. Cultural context plays a large role in understanding where intervention and prevention can be effective. A "quick rescue" does not exist and it is essential that to provide a way out, resources are provided over and over, and not just seen as a one time thing. After care of rescue is key for providing long-term safe environments for survivors. Everyone has a role to play in learning about and improving strategies for intervention and prevention. Resources Fiet Gratia Episode #299- A Prevention Perspective with, Ezequiel Escobar Bellshaw  La Guardia Civil  Spain Interpol  Migratory Birds Newspaper  United Nations UNICEF Humanitarian Bridges  Hermano Pablo Ministries  A Breeze of Hope  Project Suma  Parliament of World's Religions  Love the show? Consider supporting us on Patreon! Become a Patron Transcript Sandra Morgan 0:00 You are listening to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast, episode #302: "What Did You Do This Summer?" Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. This is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today's episode is a special one. Although a guest won't be joining us, I have a lot to share with you. This summer, I traveled to four amazing countries, each unique in its own way. During my travels, I began to develop some new perspectives on how I understand what human trafficking looks like. I've often said it's more than one thing, it doesn't always look the same. But I want to spend a little time and take a deeper dive into the differences, alongside the similarities in those countries and my experience, and right here in my own country, in the United States. I started my summer with a short trip to Dominican Republic, where leaders in the anti-trafficking movement, and especially survivor leaders, those with lived experience were gathered to continue the discussion and develop strategies that will impact our community, collective response to end human trafficking. As I was listening and learning to people with lived experience, I made some significant discoveries. First of all, and this is actually very basic, we've all said this, but I don't think we have been as selective in how we apply this. We have a tendency to use a lot of generalizations, a lot of big statistics, but there is no one size fits all approach to prevention or intervention. As I talk to my students here at Vanguard, which I'm so happy they're back on campus, and the idea for telling about my summer as part of a podcast episode came from those conversations. And they want to know, what my take away was. What do we need to do? My take away from that conference, where I listened, I took tons of notes, I asked questions, is that there is so much more that we do not understand and principles are applicable, but need to be specifically designed for unique circumstances. So let me give you an example. I'm working with a student who is studying how to do research in the context of social justice, and especially when we're talking about the implications for women. Her perspective, and we use the term standpoint theory, is she is a young Latina, and her ideas are filtered through, as she put it, growing up in a machismo culture. Some of the things that I say, that sound logical to me, are not logical for her. How do we begin to integrate a stand point theory approach to how we l...

Joanna Rees has been a trailblazer in the male-dominated venture capital and digital marketing industries, despite the many challenges she faced along the way. Through her unwavering determination and commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive team that champions underrepresented individuals, she has become an inspiration to many aspiring entrepreneurs. But what is Joanna's secret to success? Joanna Rees, an investor, entrepreneur, advisor, educator, mentor, and currently the Managing Partner at West, joined the 1,000 Stories podcast to share the importance of embracing diversity and inclusivity for driving innovation in the workplace, defeating biases and imposter syndrome by welcoming unique viewpoints, integrating charitable endeavors with profit-oriented ventures for collective societal benefits, and more.   Key Points  It's so important to get not just one woman into a room, but three or four because it really enables a change of the dynamic and the unconscious power structure when it's a male dominated room. We feel imposter syndrome when we're putting the other person on a pedestal rather than just embracing ourselves. You have a voice, it's your perspective, it's your expertise. It's not a comparison game! You can graduate with A's and B's from college, but if you don't look deeper into yourself and show what makes you unique and different, it's going to be hard to get a job. People look for texture in a person. Yes, good grades are great, but are those candidates going to add dimension in the workplace?   Resources Connect with Joanna on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannarees/ Check out Joanna's website: http://joannarees.org/ Learn more about West here: https://west.ventures/?click=1

AI Writing: Technology is constantly advancing-even in writing! This doesn't mean that AI will do everything you want it to, but you can definitely save time when doing your writing by using this program. Remember it isn't perfect which is why today I am covering the baselines of what to expect when using AI in your writing. Key Points ● It doesn't understand funny. ● It doesn't do name recognition. ● It is totally great at titles, subtitles, and outlines, but when it comes to outlines, you need to ask it for more detail. You need supportive points that bolster each chapter's objective. ● You may have a hard time-saving the prior version as you are working through different versions of your content. At times, edits may go too far, and, in that case, you will need to re-paste the version that you like. ● It's not great at using details ● It's fabulous as defining and explained quite well the foundations of algebra and calculus. ● When you ask it to edit existing content, it will clean it up as it dehumanizes it. This is very effective for business writers that want to be straightforward and use bullets and teaching to explain methodologies, and so on. ● It will get smarter, but it will take time. ● It refuses to write hateful language - yay! It did write a little bit on supporting LGBTQ+ peeps, which was so heart-warming. ● It even explained the pros and cons of using AI to write a book.

Sandie Morgan and Ioana Bauer, with eLiberare in Romania, discuss a crisis prevention model in response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis. They discuss when to prepare for a crisis and four critical components to a safe and sustainable model to address a refugee trafficking crisis. Ioana Bauer Ioana Bauer has been active in the area of protecting human rights and dignity since 2005, and, since 2010, she has dedicated her efforts to addressing human trafficking by leading and shaping prevention activities, developing materials on the issue and conducting capacity building activities. Ioana has worked directly with survivors of human trafficking and she is passionate about fighting injustice, being a firm believer in the power of community and collective action. Ioana is an Ashoka Fellow, a 2020 Resilience Fellow with GITOC, and is recognized as one of the women leaders advancing the UN SDGs globally. Currently, Ioana is serving as president of the board of eLiberare, a leading Romanian anti-trafficking CSO, after finishing her term as policy adviser in the office of the Prime Minister in the Romanian Government, where she led the working group on child safety. Key Points It is important to always prepare for a crisis intervention, never react. Organizations should always remember their mission and who they are, instead of trying to be everything during a crisis. eLiberare developed the Kompass Model, a strategy to create barriers against trafficking for refugees and displaced people in response to the Ukrainian crisis. 4 Components of the Kompass Model: 1) Raised awareness about safety measures for Ukrainian refugees 2) Conducted capacity building for new stakeholders responding to the crises and for Ukrainian refugees to navigate the road ahead 3) Developed individual safety plans for individuals vulnerable to being trafficked 4) Provide and coordinator short-term and long-term assistance Resources eLiberare Response Model of Intervention in the Ukrainian Crisis | Kompass Model 6 Months Report (March - August 2022) | Kompass Model Love the show?

Kwame Christian: How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race Kwame Christian is a best-selling author, lawyer, professor, and the Managing Director of the American Negotiation Institute. He has conducted countless specialized trainings worldwide and is a highly sought after keynote speaker. His best-selling book, Finding Confidence in Conflict has helped countless individuals overcome the fear, anxiety, and emotion associated with difficult conversations. The book was inspired by Kwame's TED Talk with the same name that has over 250,000 views. He's also host of the Negotiate Anything Podcast, the most popular negotiation podcast in the world. Kwame was the recipient of the John Glenn College of Public Affairs Young Alumni Achievement Award in 2020 and the Moritz College of Law Outstanding Recent Alumnus Award 2021. Additionally, Kwame is a business lawyer at Carlile, Patchen & Murphy LLP and serves a professor for The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law in its top-ranked dispute resolution program and Otterbein University's MBA program. He is also a Contributor for Forbes and his LinkedIn Learning course, How to Be Both Likable And Assertive, was the most popular course on the platform in July of 2021. He is the author of How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race: Practical Tools for Necessary Change in the Workplace and Beyond*. In this conversation, Kwame and I discuss how to begin a difficult conversation about race. We explore the key questions that each of us should ask ourselves so that we can determine in advance what we want to gain from a tough conversation. Finally, we look at the three critical things to say in the first 30 seconds that will help you start an important conversation that helps everybody move forward. Key Points It's hard for someone else to appreciate how much of a person's identity affects every other area of their lives until you've lived it. People explain away racism because they don't like it and don't want it to be true. Whether you think a conversation is about race or not, if it's about race for the other person then you're having a conversation about race. There questions to ask yourself before a conversation: What do I hope to accomplish in this conversation? Given what I know about them and the situation, what is likely to be their goal? What are three questions I can ask them that will help me to understand their position? Use situation, impact, and invitation as the starting point for a difficult conversation. Usually this is less than 30 seconds. “Naked facts” reduce the likelihood that someone will dispute the premise of what you are addressing.

Mollie West Duffy: Big Feelings Mollie West Duffy is an expert in organizational design, development, and leadership coaching. She previously was an organizational design lead at global innovation firm IDEO. She's helped advise and coach leaders and founders at companies including Casper, Google, LinkedIn, Bungalow, and Slack. She's experienced in designing talent processes and systems, as well as organizational structures and behaviors, cultural values, and learning and development programs. She's written for Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, Quartz, and other digital outlets. She co-founded the Capital Good Fund, Rhode Island's first microfinance fund. She is the co-author with Liz Fosslien of the Wall Street Journal bestseller No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work and now their second book Big Feelings: How To Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay*. We've all heard the well-intended advice that we should not compare ourselves to others. In this conversation, Mollie and I explore why that almost impossible to do and how we can instead cooperate a bit more with the inevitable and make our comparisons more useful. We highlight some of the key ways that comparison and help us and where leaning in may actually be useful in your own happiness and development. Key Points It's a myth that the less you compare yourself to others, the better. Often, the opposite is true: we don't compare ourselves enough. We tend to compare our weaknesses to other people's strengths. Finding ways to curate our inputs is often much more useful. Shifting from malicious envy to benign envy is helpful. Thoughts such as “I'm inspired by what they've done…” or “I haven't done what they've done…yet,” can move us to a healthier place. We see the best of people on social media. It's helpful to piece together the missing footage by comparing some of the nitty gritty. Compare present you against past you.

Nate Zinsser: The Confident Mind Nate Zinsser is an expert in the psychology of human performance. He has been at the forefront of applied sport psychology for over thirty years. He has been a regular consultant to the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Giants as well as a consultant for the FBI Academy, the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program, the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, and the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit. Since 1992 he has directed a cutting edge applied sport psychology program at the United States Military Academy's Center for Enhanced Performance, personally conducting over seventeen thousand individual training sessions and seven hundred team training sessions for cadets seeking the mental edge for athletic, academic, and military performance. His most recent book is titled The Confident Mind: A Battle-Tested Guide for Unshakable Performance*. In this conversation, Nate and I explore the reality that almost every leader faces: continual challenges to our own confidence. We examine some of the misconceptions around confidence and how those misperceptions tend to limit us. Then, we discuss the most effective practices you can use to maintain — and improve — the confidence that you've already built. Key Points It's a misconception that once you become confident, you'll stay that way forever. Confidence has little to do with what happens to you and tons to do with how you think about what happens to you. For a more constructive attitude when bad things happen, use these three elements: decide that it's temporary, limited, and non-representative. To win the battle with your own negative thinking, acknowledge the negativity, silence it, and then replace it with something better to get the last word. Protecting your confidence is an ongoing practice. You'll never stop doing it — but the good news is that it will give you an edge if you can develop this practice.

In this episode, I will talk about anxiousness and the things that drive it. Have you always felt that feeling of always wanting to do more? That your efforts aren't enough? While it is not always a welcome feeling, anxiousness is completely normal, and when managed correctly it can help us focus in the right direction. Although the things I've discussed in this episode can help get you through these conditions, please do not mistake the feeling of anxiousness for anxiety. While the initial feelings of anxiety and anxiousness can be the same, those who struggle with anxiety disorders will tend to be anxious constantly. It's always best to seek professional help if you're constantly experiencing anxiety episodes.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a meaningful discussion about anxiety and the feeling of needing to do more. Having that constant feeling of anxiousness is completely normal.    Key Points: It's absolutely normal to be anxious and have thoughts that we're not enough, that we need to do more. We are not at the mercy of your circumstances. We have the capacity to control which thoughts to entertain or not so we can focus on the things that really matter to us.Anxiousness is basically our primitive brain kicking in. It is just our brain trying to solve a problem that isn't a problem. Be open to the possibility that it is being driven by fears that aren't really a problem to be fearful of. We are not our thoughts. It doesn't define us. They don't make us good or bad. We just need to pay attention, be aware, and not indulge in thoughts that are not serving us on who we want to be.    Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

During this episode of A Richer Life podcast, host Rich Weingart talks with Sean Dustin, host of the Nowhere to Go But Up podcast. Sean talks about his past, including a rocky childhood and experience with selling drugs, his time in prison, and what he did to change and turn his life around. Sean also talks about the importance of parent-child relationships.   Episode Highlights:  Sean takes us through a brief version of his life story: Sean had a rocky childhood, got into drugs at a young age, went to Juvie and a drug treatment center. Sean moved frequently while living in Sacramento and started selling drugs. He moved with a stripper to Vegas and she had his first daughter. He lost the ability to see his daughter when she was 18 months old, got back into selling drugs, and started seeing another stripper who was also addicted to meth. Eventually, Sean got raided by a SWAT team and got arrested but was released in 2 days. Sean moved on and “opened up shop” in a different area. He got involved in a bad situation and thought he was going to kill someone. He got caught with the gun which turned it into a federal case. Sean gave himself up and did his time in the state system (15 months) and another 15 months on parole. What's it like in prison? Is there any reform or is it just survival? There can be reform if you look for it. What was your personal experience like in prison? What was the “bottom” that caused you to turn it around. Sean was scared and did not know what to expect. After 4-5 days the realization hit him that he had royally messed up and there was no one to help him. Sean digresses to discuss how the current situation has put everyone on a level playing field, in the way that no one has experienced this situation before. How did you break the pattern of doing the wrong thing? Sean says he didn't, it broke him. When Sean got out, he started searching for small victories to help carry him to the next goal, and the next goal, which helped build his self-esteem. Sean talks about his second daughter and how important their relationship is to him. Rich and Sean are planning to have a part 2 of this episode. What is the most powerful thing you are going right now to try and live a richer life? 3 Key Points: It's never too late to change. Even if you are apart as parents, the way you interact sends a very strong message to your children. RIght now, everyone is on a level playing field in that we are all experiencing something new and we are experiencing it together.   Tweetable Quotes:  “Things are being thrown at us all the time, and it's really on us how we respond to those things, right?” -Sean Dustin “We're in a situation we've never been in before. Nobody, none of us. So we're all at the same level.” -Sean Dustin “How you choose to respond to anything in your life is how life is going to respond to you.” -Sean Dustin “I was leading people into the wrong places, you know? I was using my influence to influence people to do the wrong things.” -Sean Dustin   Resources Mentioned:  Sean's Podcast Sean's LinkedIn Sean's Facebook

During this episode of A Richer Life, host Rich Weingart speaks with Christa Skov about facing challenges and building resilience in grieving the loss of her husband. Christa shares her story in a generous way that will inspire and uplift those who may be facing similar trauma and loss.    Episode Highlights:  The song “No Hard Feelings” by the Avett Brothers is meaningful to Christa because it reminds her of the way her late husband, Matt, lived his life. They got married and moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado where they started a family.  During their pregnancy they found out their child would likely have a defect involving her esophagus. It was a long process teaching their daughter how to eat. A year later Christa realized she was suffering from depression and sought help. Her goal was to get to a place where she would feel healthy enough to have another baby. Being outside feeds Christa's soul. There is so much wonder and beauty in the world even though we all face challenges. Christa's experience as a new mother helped her build resilience. Resilience is something you need to build and consciously think about. They had their second daughter and moved back to Marin where Matt grew up. Matt started having bad headaches and was eventually diagnosed with a very rare cancer. One of the last things Matt did was to design an owl party for his daughter. Richard describes a prayer circle Matt attended for a friend's daughter near the end of his life. Christa thanks her family and Matt's family as well as the entire community that has supported her as she has rebuilt her life. Grief does overwhelm you at times but sometimes you have to allow it. Christa's motivation is her children. She wants to create a life that resembles all the hopes and dreams she and Matt had talked about. Being open to help was very important to her. It's easy to get wrapped up in anxiety. What has helped Christa is to take things day by day. Be open to your community, allow grief, and seek help. Therapy gave Christa tools and resources for how to deal with building a new life. Grief can come and go in intense waves. Your heart can grow and love more. We can always continue to honor those that aren't with us anymore.   3 Key Points: It's critical to build up your resilience as you face life's challenges. Accept help and rely on your community through the grieving process. Keep an open heart and allow your heart to grow.   Tweetable Quotes: “For me, being outside, whether it's taking a walk or going on a hike or doing whatever I can to kind of see the beauty of the world has always been something that has helped me.” – Christa Skov “Building resilience is something that, you know, it's not just given to you. It's something that you have to actively pursue.” – Christa Skov “One of the conversations that Matt and I did have was wanting to have our kids have the lives that we had always talked about, even though I would have to do it on my own." – Christa Skov “With loss...you can't get over it. But you can learn to live with it.” – Christa Skov “Your heart grows...it's about me opening up and growing and allowing that.” – Christa Skov   Resources Mentioned: “No Hard Feelings” by The Avett Brothers Dana Farber Institute

Summary: In this episode of The Perfect Property, our host Juli chats with Rick Hale, the operating partner for Juli's office. Rick owns multiple Keller Williams market centers and has had thousands and thousands of real estate closings over the decades he's been in the business. He's been selling in Atlanta since 1996, works with a team of nine active agents and staff, and is the operating partner for six real estate offices. Rick walks us through ten reasons to buy a house now! Those reasons include tax deductions, pride in home ownership, forced savings, and bank credibility. At the end, he and Juli discuss Atlanta's growth and Rick gives his perspective on whether or not a shift is coming in the Atlanta market.  What You'll Learn: ·         The excitement of buyers buying first-time homes (1:25)·         Reason #1: Leverage (3:54)·         Reason #2: Mortgage interest is tax-deductible (5:31)·         Reason #3: Appreciation potential (6:51)·         Reason #4: Pride in home ownership (9:20)·         Reason #5: No tax on capital gains (10:20)·         Reason #6: 1031 exchanges (11:25)·         Reason #7: Forced savings (12:00)·         Reason #8: Bank credibility (15:11)·         Reason #9: Expanding retirement through rental options (16:28) ·         Reason #10: Social credibility (18:35)·         Advice for Atlanta's growth (20:45)·         Are we heading into a shift in Atlanta? (22:50)  Key Points:  “It's very uncommon for people to regret making a real estate purchase.”“All of the interest paid along the way is deductible.”“Just saving money isn't really leveraging your money like you can with a real estate purchase.”“The only people that I've found that lose money in real estate are people that have to sell at the wrong time. If you have the capacity to carry that property through the downturns, inevitably the trend line that's well over 100 years old always favors ownership, and you'll always create a win over time.”“Even then if you don't live in it, there's still capacity with investment properties, commercial properties, and real estate where you don't live in, you can upgrade and move into other properties and as long as you transfer that in a 1031, legal way, you can push all your gains into another property and basically defer the taxes again.”“The ability to go to my bank and borrow money is contingent on two things: one is assets and the other is how many liabilities I have. And my credibility is directly correlated to my ability to borrow money and pay it back effectively.”“My advice is: start to build credibility through asset acquisition and repayment.”“If you bought ten rental properties and you held onto them for twenty years and accelerated your payment schedule and paid them all off, the likelihood of you having a multimillion-dollar asset in your pocket is extreme.”“Real estate doesn't suffer the same volatility that stocks do.” Links: Juli's Email: juli@theperfectproperty.comJuli's Phone Number: 404-668-8975 (call or text)The Perfect Property Website. www.theperfectproperty.com

Radon is a natural gas but it's also a dangerous gas to have in your house at certain levels.”“Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.”“If you haven't had a radon test, you can go ahead and schedule one at any time.”“If you haven't had one previously done, they recommend every two years to have your home tested [for radon].”“Rats are a major issue. I haven't seen a home yet that is rodent-proof, especially being inside the perimeter.”“Your gutters should terminate at least six feet away from the home and be directed away.”“It's very important to do the proper maintenance on your home. It can save you thousands in costly repairs down the road.”“You'll save thousands in potential damages or potential litigations just based on the fact that you got your home inspected prior to purchasing it.”Links: Juli's Email: juli@theperfectproperty.comJuli's Phone Number: 404-668-8975 (call or text)The Perfect Property Website. www.theperfectproperty.com
