Podcast Episode NotesWelcome to Outside the Treatment RoomThe podcast about the business side of the beauty industry. I'm your host, Connie Holm.Episode Title: Are You Earning Less Than Minimum Wage? IntroductionWelcome back to Outside the Treatment Room! Today we're tackling a tough topic that might make you a little uncomfortable: Are you unknowingly earning less than minimum wage?In this episode, I'll break down the numbers, explain why this happens, and give you actionable tips to shift from working hard to working smart. So grab a coffee, let's get real, and let's talk money!Many solo estheticians feel like they're earning great money because they're booked solid and bringing in cash. But after expenses, rent, taxes, and time spent on unpaid tasks, the reality can be shocking.Example: If you charge $100 for a facial, but products, rent, and insurance eat into your profits, your real income per hour could be closer to minimum wage (or even less!).Reflection Question: When's the last time you calculated your real hourly rate?If you haven't, don't worry—we're going to do the math together.Here's how to calculate your hourly rate:Gross Income: Total monthly earnings (e.g., $4,000).Expenses: Subtract rent, products, insurance, taxes, and supplies (e.g., $2,000).Net Income: What's left ($4,000 - $2,000 = $2,000).Divide by Hours Worked: If you worked 160 hours, that's $2,000 / 160 = $12.50/hour.This number has to cover everything: sick days, health benefits, and retirement. If your hourly rate surprises you, don't worry—I'm here to help you fix it.Undercharging for Services: If you haven't raised prices in years, rising costs (like inflation) mean you're earning less. Example: Gloves that once cost $6 now cost $22—you must pass these increases on to clients.Too Much Discounting: Promotions are great occasionally, but constant discounts devalue your work.Hidden Expenses: Fancy packaging, unused software, or premium products can drain profits.Unpaid Time: You're also your own receptionist, marketer, and cleaner. Those hours count!Does any of this sound familiar? If so, let's focus on solutions.Here are 5 actionable steps to increase your income:Raise Your Prices: If it's been more than a year, start small with $5-$10 per service. Your expertise has value, and clients expect increases.Streamline Services: Focus on high-profit treatments that take less time and product. Stop offering unprofitable services.Track Expenses: Audit your expenses. Cancel unused subscriptions, buy in bulk, and optimize your budget. (Example: I use Zoom Premium only for my September laser events and cancel it for the rest of the year.)Charge for Your Time: Enforce no-show fees, cancellation policies, and charge appropriately for consultations.Set Income Goals: Break your monthly income target into weekly and daily benchmarks. Know how many services you need to hit your goals.Here's your homework:Sit down this week and calculate your real hourly rate.If you don't like the number, use today's tips as your starting point for change.Key Takeaway: You didn't start your business to struggle. You deserve to thrive and be paid well for the transformation you bring to your clients. You have the power to make that happen.Today's Quote: “You must gain control over your money, or the lack of it will forever control you.” —Dave RamseyWhy This Matters: I recently saw a Facebook post where many beauty professionals admitted to earning less than minimum wage—even though their businesses looked successful. My goal is to give you the tools to take control of your income and move closer to financial freedom. Enjoyed This Episode?Share it with a fellow esthetician who needs to hear this.Subscribe, leave a review, and stay tuned for upcoming courses in 2025 to help you grow your beauty business.Thank you for joining me today on Outside the Treatment Room!

What's up everyone, today we're joined by Natalie Miles, Head of Marketing Technology at Chime.Summary: Don't underestimate the role of generalists in martech; they're your go-to for system-level thinking and breaking down data silos. Building vs buying your tech stack? It's not black and white; successful setups usually mix both, and including engineers in the decision process is non-negotiable. Considering a CDP? Opt for a composable one to get quick value and robust data management. And if you're venturing into personalization, it's your team's culture and process that'll make or break it, not just the tools. Tune into this episode for straight-up, actionable insights that cut through the noise in the martech world.About Natalie Natalie started her career as a Financial Counselor at the Consumer Credit Counseling Services of San Francisco  She then took on the role of Quality Assurance Specialist at Lending Club, a fintech marketplace bank where she was eventually promoted to Operations Analyst Natalie then moved over to Credit Karma, best known for pioneering free credit scores where she started as a Marketing Operations Analyst and was later promoted to Marketing Operations Manager And for the last 3 years, she's been Head of Marketing Technology at Chime, a fintech company that offers no-fee savings accounts, where she's built and managed a holistic Martech stack supporting all channels and functions within the Marketing org The Intersection of Financial Empathy and Marketing OperationsWhen asked about her transition from financial counseling to marketing operations, particularly within FinTech, Natalie illuminates how her upbringing and career have been tightly woven with mission-driven personal finance companies. Shaped by her experiences in a working-class household and graduating amid a historic economic crisis, Natalie's focus has been on transforming legacy institutions that often operate on zero-sum models—those that profit when the customer suffers. Her goal? To align business value directly with user value. Natalie also emphasizes the importance of having a generalist background when working in marketing technology. She points out that her diverse experiences, including her time as a financial counselor, have enriched her understanding of system-level thinking—a key asset for any marketing technologist. It wasn't just about marketing; it was about leveraging technology to make different teams more efficient, whether they were marketing or support teams.In her journey through the marketing landscape, Natalie discusses the evolution from specializing in lifecycle marketing to adopting a more generalist approach once again. She believes that understanding the pain points in one marketing channel provides insights that are transferable across other channels. This is vital because while each channel has its own nuances, they also share common threads that are integral to driving growth or achieving specific business outcomes. Natalie underscores the concept of the "T-shaped marketer," a term often used in marketing discussions to describe professionals who start by specializing in a specific channel but gradually broaden their scope. This broad understanding is crucial in the realm of marketing technology, where preventing data silos and powering omni-channel journeys are key.Key Takeaway: Having a generalist background isn't just about being a jack-of-all-trades; it's about mastering system-level thinking. This kind of broad perspective is invaluable in marketing technology, where understanding how various components interact can significantly improve efficiency and effectiveness. By being well-versed in multiple areas, you're better equipped to tackle complex challenges and integrate solutions that drive measurable results.The Power of Generalism in a Specialized Marketing WorldWhen asked about the value of a generalist background in martech, Natalie explained that many marketing organizations structure themselves around specific channels, but doing so can have its drawbacks. Specialists may be excellent at understanding the intricacies of a particular channel like Google Search but may lack a broader understanding of how to harmonize different channels for an integrated, omni-channel experience.Natalie pointed out an often-overlooked aspect of specialized teams: they often onboard tools designed to solve specific channel needs. While this specialization can drive short-term success, it often fails to consider the bigger picture. As marketing complexity grows and companies aim for more personalized, omni-channel experiences, the need for someone who can tie all these disparate elements together becomes increasingly important.In the startup world, this is especially significant. Startups usually kick off with generalists who can wear multiple hats and pivot as needed. As the company matures, specialists are added to the mix. Natalie highlighted the risks of over-indexing on channel-specific experts. These experts can work in silos, and this compartmentalized approach can be a roadblock when aiming for more intricate marketing strategies that require seamless coordination between channels.One of the most compelling points Natalie made was around marketing organizations that prioritize outcomes over channels. An outcome-oriented approach can enable the same individual to manage paid retargeting ads while also running lifecycle campaigns, for instance. This blend of responsibilities demands a broader skill set and makes the case for generalists who can adapt to multiple marketing scenarios and strategies.Key Takeaway: Don't underestimate the power of generalists in martech. They bring the critical ability to weave together various marketing channels and tools, enabling a more integrated and effective marketing strategy. If your team is too specialized, you risk creating data and strategy silos that can hamper your broader marketing objectives.Martech's Dilemma: Engineering Constraints and the Build vs Buy DebateWhen asked about Casey Winters' article on the notion that martech is essentially for engineers, Natalie offered a nuanced perspective that extends beyond the conventional build-versus-buy debate. Casey argues that martech has evolved as a response to engineering constraints, and lifting these constraints would render third-party martech solutions redundant. Natalie, while a fan of Casey and his work, respectfully disagrees with this one-dimensional view. She highlights a reality most businesses face: the absence of unlimited engineering resources. In her experience, this constraint justifies the need for third-party solutions, especially when internal solutions often lack marketer-friendly user interfaces.Natalie touched on the complexity of allocating engineering resources effectively, particularly in sectors like FinTech. Should a FinTech company spend its limited engineering capital on building martech products, or should it focus on actual financial products that drive consumer growth? She suggests that the more pressing question businesses should be asking isn't whether to build or buy, but where to best align their engineering resources in line with their core competencies. This consideration often leads to a blend of in-house and third-party solutions in a company's martech stack.Narrowing the definition of martech to just third-party solutions is, in Natalie's view, a limiting approach. She emphasizes that most martech stacks will inevitably be a mix of both built and bought solutions. This mix arises because even when buying a solution, substantial engineering resources are often needed to integrate it into existing data architectures. And contrary to Casey's idealistic scenario, Natalie stresses that most companies do not operate in a utopia of endless engineering resources.Natalie's final point converges on the person who sits at the intersection of engineering, marketing, and data privacy. Whether that person's title is a product manager or something in martech is irrelevant; what matters is that someone is thinking about the problem space for marketers. This individual creates the roadmap, defines the requirements, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to ensure that the chosen solutions—built or bought—are effectively implemented.Key Takeaway: The martech ecosystem isn't a binary choice between building and buying solutions. It's more about resource alignment and meeting the real needs of your marketing team. Beware of simplistic viewpoints that suggest you can entirely build or buy your way to success; the reality is usually a hybrid approach tailored to your business constraints and goals.Bridging the Gap Between Engineers and Marketers in Martech DecisionsContinuing the thread about the role engineers play in the martech sphere, Natalie weighed in on the dynamic relationship between marketers and engineers. She acknowledged that while most martech tools might cater primarily to marketers, overlooking the engineering team could lead to integration nightmares. These tools need to fit within the existing tech architecture, after all.Natalie also brought up the common pitfall in the decision-making process for tools like Customer Data Platforms (CDP). In many organizations, marketers might go off and purchase a tool without consulting the engineering team, setting the stage for future headaches and compatibility issues. To truly get value out of martech, a unified decision-making process is critical.However, Natalie pointed out that the effectiveness of this collaborative approach often hinges on the organizational structure. In larger, more siloed companies, the engineering team might not fully understand the challenges that the marketing team faces. In such scenarios, the need for a translator—a product manager or a specialized martech role—becomes crucial. This individual serves as a bridge, understanding both the marketing challenges and the technical framework necessary to address them.For Natalie, the debate isn't as binary as it seems. It's not about whether martech is for marketers or engineers. It's about recognizing that both have a role to play and ensuring that role is respected in the decision-making process.Key Takeaway: Martech isn't a one-size-fits-all solution catered to marketers alone. Engineers have a crucial role in ensuring the tech stack is cohesive and functional. To avoid friction and maximize the utility of any tool, include both marketers and engineers in the selection and implementation process.Building a Composable CDP Stack: Lessons from Chime's JourneyWhen asked about her experience building a composable Customer Data Platform (CDP) stack at Chime, Natalie offered invaluable insights. The central issue was the need for personalization at scale, fueled by data activation. Chime, despite being in operation for over a decade, had not yet onboarded a traditional CDP. This lack became increasingly glaring as they sought to differentiate in a commoditized space and optimize customer acquisition costs. Personalization, Natalie pointed out, requires contextual information about user behaviors, needs, and interactions with the product.Natalie's aha moment came from listening to a data-edge podcast discussing "reverse ETL and data activation." It shifted her perspective on how CDPs could function without necessarily replicating data already stored in their warehouses. This led to the realization that composable CDPs, like Census and Hightouch, offered advantages such as speed to value and reduced data storage costs. These platforms could get up and running far quicker than their traditional counterparts, which could often take up to six months just to configure data ingestion.The data security and audience portability aspects were not to be overlooked. Operating in a heavily regulated space, Chime prioritized keeping their first-party data in-house as much as possible. Traditional CDPs would necessitate sending this sensitive data out for storage, which was a significant concern.What really sealed the deal was the alignment with engineering priorities. Going the composable CDP route meant that the engineering team didn't have to spend valuable resources on setting up a traditional CDP. It was a win-win, resolving the needs of both the marketing and data engineering teams at Chime.Key Takeaway: If you're in the market for a CDP, consider your organization's specific needs and limitations. Composable CDPs can offer speed to value, data security, and align better with modern data architectures, which could be precisely what your marketing and engineering teams have been looking for.The Complexity of Data Pipelines and the Ease of CDP IntegrationWhen asked about the situation before implementing a composable Customer Data Platform (CDP), Natalie shed light on an often under-discussed aspect of data management. She recalled a complex network of point-to-point integrations built using Python scripts and airflow. The result? A six-week time frame to set up a new pipeline to a new ad destination, making the cost of exploring new channels unnecessarily high and the process far from nimble.The obstacle wasn't just time but also resource allocation. In Natalie's own words, the cost of testing into new channels escalated because of the intense work needed to get the initial data import running. The situation was further complicated by the stringent need for data privacy compliance. Without a centralized framework to govern data consent, maintaining these point-to-point integrations was a daunting task, especially in a world bound by GDPR and CCPA.However, the switch to a composable CDP was almost a night-and-day difference. These platforms are built for plug-and-play functionality. Instead of the tedious task of molding and transforming data for each marketing destination, it became a scenario of "create the model once, publish everywhere."But the most significant shift was perhaps in the governance of data and consent. With a centralized hub, compliance was more manageable. Whether you're in a heavily regulated space or not, the ability to centrally store opt-in and opt-out data while ensuring a standardized definition of "customer" across tables becomes a game-changer.Key Takeaway: A composable CDP isn't just an upgrade; it's a strategic move that cuts down both the time and resources required for data management while offering robust compliance and governance features. It's time to think beyond point-to-point integrations.The Real-Time Dilemma in Warehouse-Native MartechWhen asked about the feasibility of incorporating warehouse-native customer engagement platforms that live atop a Snowflake instance, Natalie zeroed in on the critical issue of latency. In real-time personalization scenarios, traditional data warehouses often hit a speed bump. While they might be well-equipped for less time-sensitive tasks like powering BI tools, they often fall short when microseconds count.Natalie acknowledged that warehouse latency creates a bottleneck, especially for customer engagement platforms aimed at real-time personalization. While there are workarounds to improve latency within the warehouse, or even to bypass it entirely through server-to-server integrations, the challenge persists. The question isn't just about technological capability but also about actual need. Does every marketing scenario require real-time personalization, or are we, as an industry, overestimating its importance?Importantly, Natalie challenged the universal desire for real-time personalization. There's a cost-benefit analysis to be done here: the technical constraints might not justify the value real-time personalization adds to certain channels. Most notably, in lifecycle channels where a push notification within a minute after a user's action might be desired, traditional data warehouses currently fall short.Interestingly, Natalie foresaw the martech space evolving to solve this latency issue. Whether it's a new configuration of existing technology or a groundbreaking approach to data warehousing, the lag in real-time processing could well be a thing of the past sooner rather than later.Key Takeaway: If you're grappling with whether to go warehouse-native for your customer engagement platforms, consider both the existing latency limitations and the actual necessity of real-time data in your specific use case. It's not just a technology decision; it's a strategy call.Experimentation and Personalization - More than Just ToolingWhen asked about how experimentation and personalization strategies evolve during a company's CDP journey, Natalie didn't immediately dive into the mechanics of the technology stack. Instead, she argued for a broader look at the issue, emphasizing that the key to effective experimentation often starts with process and culture.Natalie strongly suggested that before even touching tooling, teams need to create a strong foundational culture around experimentation. This includes standardizing approaches with experimentation briefs, developing frameworks for prioritizing experiments, and empowering marketers to understand concepts like minimum detectable effects and statistical significance. Surprisingly, Natalie pointed out that something as elementary as forming a testable hypothesis could be a stumbling block for some teams.Discussing the limitations of existing martech solutions, Natalie highlighted that most tools offer their own built-in experimentation features but lack a unified, company-wide view. When experimentation is happening in silos across various teams and tools, the results get muddled. As a result, you might end up with misleading outcomes because you can't pinpoint which experience caused the observed lift or change in behavior.Natalie identified an unmet need in the martech space: the absence of a third-party tool that centralizes all experimentation. As companies increasingly build their experimentation platforms in-house, it exposes a gap that existing martech vendors haven't filled. They tend to operate within the confines of their specific functions rather than solving for a company-wide, unified experimentation layer.Key Takeaway: If you're diving into the world of personalization and experimentation, don't fixate solely on the tools. Culture and process are the real linchpins. And while the martech industry catches up, consider an in-house solution for centralized experimentation.Harmonizing Teams in the Intersection of Tech and People SkillsWhen asked about managing the complex dynamic of being tech-savvy while also handling the human aspects of team management, especially in roles that sit at the intersection of various teams, Natalie offered some pragmatic insights. She stressed the importance of adopting a curiosity mindset. In her experience, many conflicts or misalignments between teams stem from a simple disconnect in communication. Different teams often focus on different objectives, whether it's growth outcomes for marketing or data quality for analytics teams. This difference in focus can create a "language barrier" that leads to misunderstandings.According to Natalie, there are typically two types of misalignment. The first is when teams agree on the desired outcome but not on the method to achieve it. This is a solvable issue and usually just requires translating each team's goals into a common language. The second, more complicated form of misalignment occurs when there is disagreement about the outcome itself. This deeper issue calls for intervention from leadership to clarify priorities.Natalie pointed out that the martech space, in particular, is guilty of using jargon that doesn't resonate across different teams. This contributes to the language barrier and misalignment. To address this, she advised abstracting away the jargon and focusing on what different teams actually care about. For example, marketing might talk about "data activation," a term that might not mean much to a data engineer.Natalie emphasized that as marketers, or anyone sitting at this complex crossroad, it's crucial to understand the "value props" that will resonate with the diverse teams one interacts with.Key Takeaway: The secret sauce to team alignment isn't some complex framework but rather effective communication. Be the translation layer between different teams by understanding their goals and using language that resonates with them. Speak less like a marketer and more like a human who understands what other humans care about.The Elusive Art of Finding Balance in a Multifaceted LifeWhen asked about the holy grail of work-life balance amidst her roles as a martech leader, a mom, a wife, and a film enthusiast, Natalie quickly dispelled the myth that anyone has it figured out. Instead, she likened her daily experience to walking a tightrope while juggling. For Natalie, it's about acknowledging that she's not going to be able to "do it all" and being intentional about which ball she's willing to drop at any given time. The peace and empowerment come from this level of intentionality.Natalie stressed that there are times when one aspect of her life will receive less attention. Maybe it's a day with excessive screen time for her child or a day where work only gets 50% of her energy. These trade-offs are inevitable, and the real skill lies in prioritizing. Parenthood, according to her, is a crash course in this form of rapid-fire decision-making. Parents become masters at determining what needs immediate attention and what can wait.Another aspect Natalie brought into focus was the concept of a personal "North Star." For her, this North Star is her child. Everything she does, including her career, is a means to provide opportunities or set examples for him. Having a clear focus allows her to make choices that align with her core values, offering peace of mind in the chaos that is daily life.Key Takeaway: You can't be everything to everyone, and that's not just okay, it's real life. Make peace with the fact that you'll have to drop the ball sometimes and focus on what truly matters to you. That's your North Star, and it'll guide you when you have to make those tough calls on where to invest your time and energy.Episode RecapGeneralists are your secret weapon in martech. Forget the myth of the jack-of-all-trades being a master of none. The real magic happens when someone can connect the dots between multiple areas. They're the folks who can break down the silos that choke your data and muddle your strategy. They understand that every piece of your tech stack interacts in complex ways. Bottom line: you want these generalists on your team. They help you get more from your martech investments by integrating solutions that actually drive measurable outcomes.Now, let's talk building vs buying in the martech space. It's not an either-or situation; it's a 'best-fit' scenario. Forget the misleading viewpoints that suggest you should fully build or buy your stack. Reality check: the most effective setups are usually a blend, customized to your specific needs and constraints. And don't just bring marketers into this discussion. Engineers are key. They ensure your tools not only work together but work well. That's how you get a tech stack that's cohesive and functional.When diving into Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), be strategic, not reactive. Composable CDPs can be a game-changer—they're fast, secure, and they mesh well with modern data architectures. Think of it not just as an upgrade, but as a high-impact strategy move. You save time, cut resource costs, and get top-notch data management features, all in one. But don't rush into it. Consider your unique needs. Need real-time data for customer engagement? Weigh the existing latency limitations. Think about the genuine necessity of real-time information for your specific case.Last but not least, if you're wading into personalization and experimentation, remember: your tech stack is only as good as the culture and processes behind it. Tools are just that—tools. Your team's mindset and workflow are what will make or break your personalization efforts. While the martech industry is still evolving, if you need specialized solutions for experimentation, don't hesitate to build them in-house.So why should you tune into this episode? Because you'll walk away with no-nonsense, actionable insights that help you not just navigate but thrive in the martech space. From leveraging the power of generalists to making savvy choices in CDPs, we dig deep into what really matters. So don't miss out—listen to the episode and arm yourself with the insights to stay ahead

This week's theme is all about the value of time. In today's episode, Joseph James is speaking with Adriana Cowdin. Adriana is a firm believer in living life to the fullest. She has 4 successful entrepreneurial businesses, all while fighting for her life. Over the past 5 years, she has had 27 procedures that have kept her alive.  Adriana lost her identity when she became increasingly ill. She didn't want to be seen as a sick person. Her identity was in corporate America, but her body no longer allowed her to work those long hours in the office. She had to search for her new identity, so she started meditating daily.  The pressure not to work made her realize what made her happy and she started to do the things that she loved, including running a social media marketing agency and coaching over 6,500 clients globally, across 5 continents, in the past nearly 20 years. Adriana's battle with chronic illness started in childhood with severe asthma and recurrent bouts of bronchitis, which she outgrew as an adult. The toughest days came from 2015-2019 when I underwent over 25 procedures and surgeries. She has continued to battle wich chronic illnesses, including Type 3C diabetes, chronic pancreatic disease, gastroparesis, Addison's disease, hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism, celiac disease, and osteoporosis.  She has learned to thrive in the body she was born with. To maximize her productivity and happiness, she schedules her day around when her body works best, usually doing the things she needs to do in the morning. She shares her story so other people who may be dealing with health dilemmas may feel seen. In this episode: Adriana Cowdin shares how she manages how to run multiple successful businesses while battling chronic illnesses.  How she created a new identity for herself after leaving corporate America.  Finding Happiness and Thriving Amid Health Adversities How she built 4 businesses while fighting for her life.   Key Takeaway: You can change your identity when you set your mind to it You are not alone, even in your darkest moments Learn to thrive in the body you are born with  She became successful in entrepreneurship while fighting for her life Tweetable Moments: “Life is really about how you find your way when adversity comes your way” “What we feed our mind grows” “No book was written for you unless you write it yourself” “I am blessed with every day I am given.” “If it helped one person, its worth it” Connect with Adriana: Adriana's Website: https://adrianacowdin.com/ (https://adrianacowdin.com/) Adriana's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fabulousandfiercewomen/ (https://www.instagram.com/fabulousandfiercewomen/) Adriana's Facebook Group, "Fabulous, Fit, & Financially Fierce Women Entrepreneurs": https://www.facebook.com/groups/magnificentmillionaire (https://www.facebook.com/groups/magnificentmillionaire) Connect with Joseph James: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/meetjoejames (https://www.facebook.com/meetjoejames) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meetjosephjames/ (https://www.instagram.com/meetjosephjames/)

Struggling to adjust to the little differences and idiosyncrasies moving from Estonia to the USA, these differences compounded for Eva Fanari.

In an ideal world, being a creative professional means you love what you do and your passion for your work fuels a meaningful and fulfilling life that also has a positive impact on the world. Whether you write, direct, produce, edit, or work on set - that's the dream we all set out to achieve when we join the industry. In the real world, however, you quickly discover that passion can also lead to exploitation. Toxic work environments, unreasonable deadlines and schedules, and unrelenting work hours extinguish even the deepest, hottest burning passions inside of us. Respect, dignity, and a basic appreciation for the work we do are essential ingredients in keeping that passion alive and sustaining us through long careers. Unfortunately, these concepts have been pushed aside in favor of faster, cheaper, better. Today I'm excited to discuss the realities of working on the production side of the industry with Shay'La Banks and Nickolaus Brown, both of whom work in the costume department and were recently featured with me in the recent Variety article IATSE Crew Members Share First-Hand Accounts of Set Life. Shay'La is a Costume Supervisor who has worked on shows such as The Voice, Insecure, Grown-ish & The Oscars. Nickolaus has been working in costumes for almost 25 years for films such as Free Guy, The Lake House, and Dukes of Hazzard, and TV shows like How to Get Away w/ Murder, Scandal, and Glee. This honest conversation gets to the very core of the many issues that production crews face while on set. You'll hear candid stories about the horrible conditions and disrespectful behavior they both endure on a routine basis and how it affects their health and relationships. You'll also hear that despite the enthusiasm they both have for their craft they both desperately crave the change that is so necessary in our industry.

The biggest misconception of costume designer's jobs. The challenges that arise on set and how producers never understand what they are asking for. Nickolaus wants to know why is our time not respected? The unfair and unreasonable hours production crews are expected to work. Nickolaus worked 28 days straight on a pilot in Hawaii. The call sheet hours vs. the hours the costume department actually works. What is ‘Fraturday' and what is meant by ‘turnaround”? How the pandemic changed the perspective on work-life balance. The toll their jobs take on their physical bodies. The sad reality of the shows needs superseding the needs of the workers. KEY TAKEAWAY: You never stop ‘paying your dues' if you don't start to value yourself. The producers aren't trying to figure out a better way to do things because it's working for them. Why we need to get better at saying the word ‘no' to unreasonable expectations. The disconnect between how the budgets are made and how the work actually gets done. How you, as an individual, can start to affect change in the industry. Why Nickolaus believes the costume department is the lowest paid in the industry. How Shay'La talks to producers to negotiate more money or better schedules for herself and her department. KEY TAKEAWAY: We have to stand together, share information, and educate each other so we can advocate for ourselves. The demoralizing effect the new contract had on crews that thought there would be real change if a strike happened. What advice they would give to themselves just starting out in the business.

» Click to read the full transcript There is at least one point in our lives when we make the stark realization that we no longer enjoy what we do. The passion has long-since gone, and we’re only there for the paycheck. This is what I call “The Comfort Trap.” There are few discoveries more terrifying in your career than when you realize you are just “comfortable.” Once you decide it’s time to make a major transition, you then have to confront the fact that you’ve most likely spent much (if not all) of your career making stuff yet you’ve never focused on the soft skills of selling yourself. In the 21st century gig economy, whether you like it or not - YOU ARE A BUSINESS. And your business is selling your creative services. It doesn’t matter how awesome your work is if nobody knows you are awesome. My guest today is editor of twenty years (and longtime friend & colleague) Joaquin Elizondo, who has adapted to change faster than most people I know and transitioned between multiple genres to land where he is now editing projects that creatively fulfill him. In our conversation Joaquin and I talk about his journey across multiple mediums, genres, and even different parts of the country to land his dream job editing Narcos: Mexico. We discuss the mindsets he uses to combat perfectionism and procrastination (which in my opinion are frankly one in the same). And we go deep into the reasons why helping others and building communities is so necessary, especially within our current times. Whether you are looking for a mentor, career advice, or a new best friend, Joaquin is an amazing resource who is also the founder of Hollywood Editing Mentor, an amazing site I recommend for anyone looking to escape the comfort trap where you can level up your soft skills as an assistant or editor, learn how to build your network, get career transition guidance, and so much more.

The unique origin story of Joaquin's career trajectory. How he learned to make better decisions about what projects to get involved in. The challenges he faced when trying to get jobs in Los Angeles. The mentality he used throughout his life that has made him pursue his dreams. Joaquin's approach to mentoring his clients. How he made the mindset shift from being an artist to being a business owner. How embracing the learning process helps him get over perfectionism. KEY TAKEAWAY: Redefine the term “expert” to being just one step ahead of someone else and you can provide value to lots of people. KEY TAKEAWAY: You'll never succeed if you don't take action. The story of his first paid mentoring client and the feeling he got from that success. What unique qualities Joaquin brings to the table from his 20 years of editing experience. How he got over the fear of competition (ahem...ME!) What is ‘Hollywood Editing Mentor’ and how can it help your career?

Guest Bio: Joaquin Elizondo has almost 20 years of experience as an editor and currently works in the world of feature films and scripted TV shows in Hollywood. His most recent editing credits are Narcos: Mexico (Netflix), and the feature film, Soundwave, now available on Apple TV and Amazon. Before arriving in Los Angeles, Joaquin worked in unscripted television for several years in New York City where he edited content for HBO Sports, NBC, Telemundo, and was the lead editor on Bravo’s late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Joaquin majored in Film & Video Studies at the University of Michigan and grew up in the San Diego-Tijuana border region. As someone who has sought out and benefited from mentoring, Joaquin is now taking on the role of mentor by helping aspiring editors and assistants in navigating the path to achieving their career goals. He created the Hollywood Editing Mentor program (hollywoodeditingmentor.com) to provide guidance and support for those trying to break into or advance their careers in post production.

Lecturer of the School of Law, Dr Louise Hewitt is also Director of the Innocence Project London which is a pro bono organisation where law and criminology students work alongside Louise and lawyers.

You can seize the opportunities. You can fall into what you're doing and that plan can literally just exist alongside you and develop alongside you until the point that you realise that it's actually crystallised and you're doing what you enjoy, and you're doing something really worthwhile.”   ABOUT DR LOUISE HEWITT Dr Louise Hewitt is Director of the Innocence Project London and a lecturer at the School of Law.

Today on the show we have Anthony and Jhanikla Hartzog. They cleared 114k in debt in just under two years. They’re going to be sharing their debt story and providing tips to pay off your debt quickly, while still maintaining a lot of the same comforts of your current lifestyle.   Their journey into paying down their debt started when Jhanikla bought Anthony Dave Ramsey’s “Financial Peace University” one Valentines Day. They dove into the course together and initially didn’t have a set date in mind of when they wanted to become debt free, but after three months into the process they saw how much money they were able to allocate towards debt payments and they made the goal of becoming debt free by Jhanikla’s 30th birthday.   The couple mostly focused on playing offense to increase their income and allocated all extra money to paying down their debt. In this episode you’ll hear how in addition to their 9-5 they both got side jobs at Equinox and started using Apps like “Rover” and “Turo” to maximize their earnings. It was important for them to make big monthly payments towards their debt but also maintain their current lifestyle.   Highlights: Working on a mix of student loan and credit card debt Using other peoples debt stories and testimonials as inspiration for getting out of debt Breaking down the numbers and setting a budget. Before you can make strides in paying off your debt you need to know where your money is going, and exactly how much is coming in and out every month Increasing income rather than cutting back on expenses Maintaining a relationship while constantly working and having more time apart than ever before Rewarding yourself along the way when you reach a debt payment goal Setting lifestyle expectations as a couple and determining what’s important to you as a whole and as individuals Holding off on making big debt payments during this COVID-19 Pandemic Look for a side hustle that’s related to your current career or skill set Finding a side gig that you actually enjoy You MUST have an online presence if you plan on maintaining revenue during this pandemic   Key Takeaway: You will inevitably need to cut some costs while trying to get out debt. But, you can also focus on increasing income and using that extra money for debt payments, so that you can maintain a lifestyle similar to the one you have now.   Paychecks & Balances Website: https://paychecksandbalances.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paybalances Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paybalances/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paychecksandbalances Twitter: https://twitter.com/paybalances?lang=en

Welcome to part one of my Keep Moving series! Through this series, I will be interviewing Burn Boot Camp members who have all been faced with adversity, but chose to overcome it to keep moving forward in their lives. Tune in to be inspired, motivated and empowered to keep moving forward in your life, too, despite your current circumstances!    In this episode, I sit down to chat with Burn Boot Camp Hanesport member, Jilian Grahl.  After collapsing one day, Grahl was rushed to the hospital and was eventually diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari Malformation which began a decade-long struggle through surgeries and chronic pain. Before this incident, Grahl felt fulfilled by her work as a police officer because it allowed her to help people and ensure that others were safe, happy, and protected. After her diagnosis, this was abruptly taken from her and she struggled to find a purpose that left her feeling fulfilled. But, she soon found a new purpose in sharing her story and helping others with chronic pain and those who are diagnosed with life threatening medical conditions.   Key Takeaway: You aren’t in control of what life throws at you, but you are in control of how you react to it and fight against it.   Highlights: How Jilian overcame medical obstacles and fought to move forward without dwelling in the past.  There’s a light on the other side of your struggle, you just have to keep fighting in order to get there. How hitting rock bottom motivated Jilian to rebuild her life. Why it is so important to find your passion and purpose. Why you shouldn't compare yourself to others and what they have on the outside.

Who is Jillian Manus? Jillian Manus is an experienced banking and media executive, a technology investor and entrepreneur.  She is the Managing Partner of Structure Capital.  In her role with Structure Capital, Jillian provides strategic support to founding teams.  Prior to Structure Capital, Jillian was founder of Broad Strategy, Manus Media and Global Goal Sports Management.  Jillian is a co-host on the podcast The Pitch, which has been called a ‘better, more realistic version of Shark Tank.’   Show Highlights Terri asked Jillian about how she transitioned from starting her businesses to investing in startups Jillian talks about how she used the Ginsu knife method to slice and dice to optimize and amplify the message for her clients When she heard people wanted to venture into other areas, she would coach them through the path and use her vast network to bring the best people in Jillian attributes her vast network to the fact that she talks to everyone she meets regardless of where she is and who they are Jillian’s’ first question to people is ‘what can I do for you?’ which helps to build the relationship and build trust which makes it easier to ask for something later.    Jillian focuses on one thing because it makes everything behind it easier and helps to set boundaries for her time.    Terri asked Jillian about whether Jillian is bad at receiving and she responded with a story about Southern women who taught her the importance of graciously receiving a compliment with ‘thank you for being so kind.’ Jillian doesn’t see herself as successful yet and that she is not yet the best person she can be.  This fuels her and motivates her. She is fearless and gets out of her own way.    Jillian and Terri talk about women can be very mean to themselves and need to speak to themselves like they would to their friends and their seven year-old selves. Jillian is the eternal optimist.  Jillian strong believes that you cannot waste time on worrying and other people’s bad behavior.    To Jillian, 50 is fabulous.  You know your voice, you know who you are, you know what you don’t want.    Terri talks about how she was demoralized for about 24-48 hours after reading Ellen Pau’s book Reset and the lack for accountability for the VCs because of the amount of money they have had and the resulting power associated with it.    Terri asked Jillian about whether we can shift the existing VCs or do we create a separate funding ecosystem.  Jillian thinks the answer is a hybrid.  The existing investors are getting educated.    Jillian says the problem is that men invest in people who look like them.  They can connect to the founder and their philosophies and character traits.  It’s a place of comfort to invest in other men.  Once they shift, there is a better outcome.  We aren’t going to be able to change all of them to step outside of their comfort zone.    Jillian said that we need to create more onramps for other investors and provide women with the ability to invest in small amounts into the Seed round.  Before doing this, develop the top 10 questions to ask an entrepreneur and get educated on how to run a business.  This will give the comfort to be able to put money into startups.   Jillian talks about the importance of being a life-long learner.    Jillian never invests in a woman because she is a woman, but she does give women more opportunity to pitch to her.  Once there, they need to prove themselves at the same level.    Women have an insight into men that men don’t have, having raised children.  Women are more easily able to see a person’s strengths and weaknesses. Jillian is living the life she wants to live more than she has at any time in her life.   If Jillian could wave a magic wand, she would make sure that every single person in this world had a job that they were proud of. The path to self-sufficiency paves the path to happiness and peace.   Jillian did not become a VC to make money, her mission is to create jobs for people and invest in founders for that reason.  She gives away 90% of income every year.    She is passionate about supporting veterans and has invested in a startup (The Shift) to help veterans translate their military skills into the private sector.    Jillian wants to leave the world a better place and she is doing it through creating jobs.      Terri’s Key Takeaway You cannot waste time on worrying and other people’s bad behavior.   References in the Podcast The Pitch Episode #17:  Jillian’s backstory:  https://www.gimletmedia.com/the-pitch/17-investor-spotlight-jillian-manus Structure Capital: http://structure.vc/ The One Thing:  The Surprisingly Simple Thing Behind Extraordinary Results: http://bit.ly/BookTheOneThing Reset by Ellen Pau:  http://bit.ly/BookReset The Shift: https://www.shift.org/ The Pitch:  The Shift:  https://www.gimletmedia.com/the-pitch/15-shift Skillmil: https://www.skillmil.com/   Contact Listen to Jillian on The Pitch: https://www.gimletmedia.com/the-pitch.    You can follow Terri on Twitter at @terrihansonmead or go to her website at www.terrihansonmead.com or on Medium:  https://medium.com/@terrihansonmead.  Feel free to email Terri at PilotingYourLife@gmail.com.

Joyce King supervises the Marketing and New Client Services Department at Insurance Licensing Services of America (ILSA). In part 1 of this series, Joyce discussed licensing and compliance issues as they relate to different types of mergers and acquisitions. She explained what could happen if you followed standard licensing and compliance as well as what could happen if you don’t, and provided tips and strategies with regards to designated producers and state laws when they are due for renewal. In this episode, Joyce discusses the topics of budgeting, expansion and withdrawal. She shares the critical points to remember for your compliance budget and why this is the first thing an agency should plan for every year. She also shares her advice regarding state expansion and state withdrawal and which states make it more difficult. “If you're expanding into new states, you definitely want to take the time factor into consideration.” – Joyce King Today on Spot On Insurance:  When it comes to budgeting, where should we direct our attention? Steps to consider when expanding to new states. The five states that will take the longest time to penetrate. The process to look forward to if you plan to withdraw from a state. States that will assess penalties on a daily basis if your annual return is late. When should you not renew policies? How to handle the corporate tax returns for the following year. Key Takeaway: You're supposed to do your due diligence and know when those reports are due. There are some states which may test your patience if you want to expand into them. You should renew your license at least 45 days before it’s due to avoid delays and incur penalties.
