Doug is joined by Holly Budge, one of the UK's most accomplished female adventurers. From becoming a professional skydiver to being the first woman to skydive Mount Everest, racing horses across Mongolia and summiting Everest, Holly shares how setting audacious goals transformed her life. But her most meaningful adventure came when she founded "How Many Elephants," working with female anti-poaching rangers in Africa. Holly's enthusiasm for setting and achieving seemingly impossible goals will leave you inspired to voice your own audacious dreams and step outside your comfort zone. KEY TAKEAWAYS At 21, Holly set an audacious goal to become a professional skydiving camera woman despite having no experience in skydiving or filming. By saving money, learning the skills, and persisting despite gender barriers, she achieved this goal, setting a foundation of self-confidence that influenced her future adventures. Holly's experience becoming the first woman to skydive Everest taught her the power of intention setting and perseverance in securing sponsorships. Despite not having £24,000 for the expedition, she said "yes" first and then found sponsors to fund her vision, demonstrating how commitment precedes resources. When faced with unexpected challenges during her adventures, like being caught in a storm on Everest or losing horses in Mongolia, Holly learned to make critical decisions independently. Holly transformed from wanting selfish indulgences in adventure to creating adventure with purpose by founding "How Many Elephants" and "World Female Ranger Week," using her platform to raise funds and awareness for conservation causes that received 500 million views. Her work with female anti-poaching rangers in Africa represents her most meaningful adventure because it combines real danger with genuine purpose beyond personal achievement. Despite feeling like an imposter during her master's degree, Holly earned the highest mark ever given because she discovered something she was truly passionate about. Having supportive parents who didn't push her but encouraged her to follow her interests allowed Holly to develop a natural drive and confidence to pursue unconventional goals, from competing in sports to skydiving professionally. Holly's golden nugget for goal-setting is to "Say it out loud and watch what happens." Voicing your goals to others gives them momentum, creates accountability, and transforms them from thoughts to actions—pushing you beyond your comfort zone where true growth happens. BEST MOMENTS "This 60 seconds of sheer terror completely changed the course of my life. I loved it and I wanted to go back up and do it again straight away. But nobody had told me that people were getting paid to jump out of perfectly good airplanes every day of the year." "I call this hanging onto my 21-year-old mindset, and now I'm 46 and I've kept trying to keep this mindset going over the last two and a half decades, and that's taken me on some pretty incredible sponsored adventures around the world." "These days, for me, it's all about adventure with purpose. I use adventure as a platform to raise funds and raise global media attention for a greater good than me jumping out of an airplane or me climbing a mountain." "Conservation without funding is just conversation. So it's about getting the money to the right places without the middleman." "When you've got your big audacious goal, say it out loud and watch what happens. The minute you voice it and you start chatting to people about it, it suddenly grows arms and legs, but in a really good way."

For this episode, Yvonne is joined by the author of her favourite manifestation book – A Manual For Manifesting Your Dream Life by Eric John Campbell. Eric has worked hard to simplify manifestation and distil how to do it into just 67 or 68 pages. Importantly, he has done so in a way that makes it really easy to understand, take action and get results, which is one of the reasons Yvonne is such a fan. What Yvonne and Eric discuss here is invaluable. KEY TAKEAWAYS At the age of 25, Eric had a spiritual awakening experience, which is now helping him and others to transform their lives. If we're in a very happy, positive vibration we manifest things that often we don't even realize we want, things that fulfill our soul. Focusing on your purpose creates a positive vibration. Do more of the things that bring you joy. Even just 10 minutes of them lights you up and brings so much energy. Producing a feeling you cannot recreate by using visualisation. The universe is always offering new opportunities, often we shut the door on them without even realising it. Being truly authentic makes you attractive to everything that makes you happy. The universe will shower you with those things. Becoming your true self is a journey that will include some lows, but doing it enables you to put down that heavy load you´ve been carrying. When seeking your soulmate or community you need to know your true self first and become happy and fulfilled so that you attract the right people. Genuinely change your internal self to attract the right things and break your negative cycles. You have to be genuine e.g. Using affirmations for things you are not actually grateful for doesn`t work. Don´t become too attached to the specific people or way it has to manifest. The person that is manifesting has to believe in themselves. You already have the answers and the universe mirrors that back to you. If you are negative and do not appreciate your life, you will be manifesting more of the same. Make the effort to change your script. BEST MOMENTS “It´s 67 or 68 pages of pure joy and inspiration.” “I felt this presence inside of my body that I never felt before.” “Do more fun things that light up your soul.” “If it´s your true heart´s desire, it´s the most natural thing to evolve into attracting it into your life.” “The intention has to be pure.” “We have to show up as our true self in order to attract the community of people that we actually want.” “If you're aware that you're in that cycle, you've already broken it.” “You can't manifest for somebody else, but you can help them on their journey.” “The universe has a unique way to communicate with each of us.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://ericjohncampbell.com Eric John Campbell´s books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Eric-John-Campbell/author/B07ZHGYL9B VALUABLE RESOURCES website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms. After the loss of a baby during pregnancy, Yvonne founded Pause. Penny - which was created to inspire people to manifest their dream lives. She is also a mom of four. Yvonne is a serial manifester, manifesting everything from her dream jobs (yes, multiple), her soulmate, dream house and even her twins!

Nick reflects on the past year and shares valuable insights as he celebrates six years of podcasting and over a million downloads. He looks at the importance of reflection and intention-setting as we transition into a new year and discusses his personal and professional growth, including a health scare that shifted his perspective on stress and well-being. Nick encourages you to create a vivid vision for your lives and businesses, break down your goals into actionable steps, and establish accountability to achieve extraordinary results. KEY TAKEAWAYS At the end of each year, it's important to reflect on personal and professional achievements, challenges, and growth. Journaling about these experiences can help gain clarity and appreciation for incremental gains, which contribute to overall success. Rather than focusing solely on traditional goal-setting, consider setting intentions for the year ahead. This includes creating a vision for your life and business, which should align with your values and desired outcomes. Building a personal brand or business can be more effective by concentrating efforts on a single platform, rather than spreading oneself too thin across multiple channels. This focused approach can lead to significant growth and engagement. Establishing accountability through partnerships, coaching, or public declarations of goals can enhance commitment and execution. This can apply to various aspects of life, including health, business, and personal relationships. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes you've just got to start, right? And that's the most important thing." "I encourage you to maybe think about things differently as you go into 2025, because you don't want to be in a situation where that stress is going to show up in other ways." "Your business should just be a vehicle to helping you create an outstanding life." "If you can't define what you want your life to be like in the next three years, it's going to be very, very difficult for you to build a business that works for you." "Sometimes progress is more important than perfection."

Astrophysicist and professor, Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell reflects on how she helped change astronomy forever.In this episode, learn more about how a peculiar signal from space led Jocelyn to a groundbreaking discovery. She discusses her aerospace journey, building a radio telescope, discovering pulsars, and the 1974 Nobel Prize controversy. This one is going to be cool!Key Takeaways:At the time, women were not often permitted to study science fields in school. Her parents protested this rule and Jocelyn became top of her class in Physics.While attending Cambridge, Jocelyn helped build their radio telescope alongside Astronomers Martin Ryle and Antony Hewish.Originally the telescope was built to study Quasars, which are distant galaxies whose incredibly bright cores are powered by supermassive black holes. While observing and researching the telescope, Jocelyn found a strange "pulse" that occurred at regular intervals. Labeled LGM-1 or Little Green Men 1, it was the first recording of a pulsar.Since pulsars were discovered, over 3,000 have been found today.In 1974, Martin Ryle and Antony Hewish were awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of pulsars. Because Martin and Antony were the telescopes' leaders, Jocelyn, a student at the time, was left out. She has since been awarded several prestigious accolades.Jocelyn encourages audiences to double-check anomalies as they never know which scientific discoveries could be found.Resources:Jocelyn's Bio (Wikipedia) What are pulsars?

In this episode, David, who has created and sold many businesses, shares seven things you should not do when selling your business. Often, these relatively simple errors end up costing you a lot of money and making it far harder to sell, so the consequences of making these mistakes are serious. David explains why these mistakes are so easy and common and, most importantly, how to avoid making them yourself. Including some things you need to start doing years before you eventually sell your business. David helps owners and leaders to build their business without having to do it all themselves, so that they have a business that is ready to sell when they are ready. To build your business, so it is ready to sell, without the frustration and overwhelm, Download David's Free Guide '3 reasons you will never sell your business and how to fix it FAST! https://businessbreakthrough.live/3reasons/3-reasons KEY TAKEAWAYS At some stage, the majority of successful entrepreneurs end up selling a business. Even people who have no intention of selling their business end up doing so at some point. They get sick, priorities change, or their children do not want to inherit the business. Running a business as an asset that you will one day sell, pushes you to build a far better business. To be saleable a business needs a strong team, good processes, decent infrastructure, a sound culture and great products or services. All of which will also boost profits while you own it. Your business should be able to run without you, so you can take time off when you want. This has the added benefit of making it easier to sell. Sell to the right buyer, usually you will be partnering with them for months while you hand the business over. Do full due diligence on the buyer. The last thing you need is for the deal to fall through after months of work. Don´t get distracted, keep your business performing while the deal goes through. If sales drop off the buyer will likely pull out. Have someone working alongside you on the marketing and selling process. They will provide perspective and help keep things on track. BEST MOMENTS “Having an exit plan for a business, even if you don't want to sell it right now, can help you to avoid making common business errors.” “Do not ignore the chemistry with a potential buyer. You have to be able to get along. You have to be able to come to reasoned and rational decisions together. .” “Don't get distracted by anything other than cash, profit, people and service.” “Complete on the deal emotionally.” “Remove that dependency on you.” ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor, and investor with 30 years of experience across multiple sectors.

During this episode, David explains how to create an environment that boosts productivity and workflow. He shares a simple 5 step process any leader can use regardless of the industry they work in to coach and nurture their team. To motivate them, gain their trust, lead by example, remain calm under pressure and get everyone pulling in the same direction and following the right plan. David helps owners and leaders to build their business without having to do it all themselves, so that they have a business that is ready to sell when they are ready. To build your business, so it is ready to sell, without the frustration and overwhelm, Download David's Free Guide '3 reasons you will never sell your business and how to fix it FAST! https://businessbreakthrough.live/3reasons/3-reasons KEY TAKEAWAYS At this time the world needs exceptional leaders. Everyone prefers to work for people they like and trust. For leaders who create a culture of togetherness and collaboration. People leave companies when they are poorly led. That costs a fortune. Good leaders also make great coaches, they nurture talent. Create an inspiring vision. People need a really compelling reason to follow your lead. Motivate your team. People are motivated by three things, achievement, relationship and growth. Motivation is intrinsic and extrinsic. Make a clear plan and execute it. David recommends using the 12-week year approach. He explains why and how to do it, in the podcast. Include how you are going to manage change in your plan. Create trust. You need to care personally about the members of your team and achieving your objectives. When building trust make sure you do not use techniques like manipulative insincerity. Lead with calm, develop your communication skills and work on your personal development to make it easier to do this. BEST MOMENTS “The type of leaders that really bring out the best in people really strive to improve .” “People leave bad managers, not bad companies.” – Marcus Buckingham “If you can link what the organization is going to achieve to what the people, individually in their roles, are going to achieve, then you make that motivation very personal to them.” “Celebrate successes along the way, rather than just waiting for the end game.” “People leave bad managers, not bad companies.” “10% of customer satisfaction earns you 46% more trust.” EPISODE RESOURCES Radical Candor - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Radical-Candor-What-Want-Saying-ebook/dp/B01LW1LESC ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor, and investor with 30 years of experience across multiple sectors.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Marcy Axelrod, a bestselling and award-winning author, TV contributor, two-time TEDx speaker, and renowned management consultant. Her latest book, "How We Choose to Show Up," has recently been honoured with the prestigious Hayakawa Book Prize. In today's conversation, we'll dive deep into the concepts from her book: The idea of "Showing Up"—the invisible system connecting us to our society, our situations, ourselves, and each other, how understanding and embracing the way we choose to show up can lead to a happier, more effective, and balanced life – whether we're parenting, coaching, playing, empowering others, or steering a global company. KEY TAKEAWAYS At 6 years old we moved from Baltimore to Boston, my older sibling wanted nothing to do with me and I needed something I wasn't getting. There was no one making me feel felt, which is what all humans need, and rather than act out I acted in and took it out on myself, I developed a stutter which led to me losing the ability to speak. Back through time to when we lived in caves we were never just in one role. We were always individuals distinct from, but also we were always a member of a family, a tribe, and we were at the whim of the environment. My book says that we were not designed to show up as inward facing individuals, we're designed in 3 roles: We're a discreet self (but not separate from), we're a situation member, and we're defined by a society there that creates who we are, and we create it as part of the collective. The model of how we can show up is easy for anyone to intuit, I've just put it on paper. Level one is burned out, stressed, not engaged, you can't show up in a meaningful way – and there are valid reasons for this that we all go through as part of life. Level 2 is just showing up, just getting stuff done – this isn't bad, we have to be there some of the time with a narrow, deep focus that is tactical and practical. Level 3 is truly showing up. There's a believe system behind how humans are designed to show up, and it's an important one because it gets us back into the flow of how nature designed us. There's nothing cultish, woo-woo, or mystical, it simply recognises you can't have up without down, left without right, or some version of individual without there being a society collective. BEST MOMENTS ‘I became a natural and deeply driven observer of how other are showing up, and I saw that they can show up as they choose, and yet they are not choosing.' ‘Our bodies are sensing flow systems, the skin exists because we can feel the world; temperature, pressure, motion, movement, the granularity and nuance of what we can perceive is awe inspiring.' ‘A big part of the ‘showing up continuum', and what it means to be a level 3, is recognising what and who we truly are.' ‘Some people wake up at 5am and get more done before 8am than some of us do in a day, but sometimes they can burn out and stress about things. We all dance along the continuum.' ABOUT THE GUEST Marcy Axelrod is a bestselling and award-winning author, esteemed TV contributor, and dynamic 2X TEDx speaker. With a robust career as a management consultant, her innovative approaches have earned her recognition and accolades, including the prestigious Hayakawa Book Prize for her latest work, "How We Choose to Show Up."

In this episode of Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories Bridge Series, he reaches Hammersmith Bridge, one of London´s more colourful and impressive bridges. Despite being London´s weakest bridge it has not been rebuilt, since 1887. Danny explains why the riverside beneath it is prone to flooding and why keeping it from falling to pieces requires a staggering amount of maintenance. He also busts several urban myths about the bridge, including one that connects it to Harrods. If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled, and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS At the time it was built it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge was a target for different factions of the IRA on 3 occasions. Currently, the bridge is closed to road traffic. The origins of the name Hammersmith is debated and remains a mystery. BEST MOMENTS “Hammersmith Bridge is seemingly closed more often than it is open, a continuing thorn in the side of motorists and pedestrians alike.” “Tierney Clark would later go on to design the  Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the Danube in Budapest. .” “Unlike most of the Thames bridges, its owners made a profit selling it, as well as on the tolls.” HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students. Having worked with some of the most difficult people in the UK, he is a natural storyteller and entertainer, whilst purveying the most fascinating information that you didn't know you didn't know.

James Joyce. That was me at school as well. Ironically, I ended up becoming a historian. The Unusual Histories podcast is all about the history you don't learn at school, nor indeed anywhere else. Discover things that you didn't know that you didn't know, fascinating historical luminaries and their vices and addictions, and the other numerous sides of every story. Danny continues his Unusual Histories podcast with the Bridge Series, remaining in London travelling east to west to look at the bridges which span the Thames. He looks at their design, construction, and history, along with the history of the areas in which they're located on both sides of the river. This series kicks off with an exclusive interview with Dirk Bennett of the City Bridge Foundation, the organisation which looks after London's bridges. Tower Bridge is marking its 130th anniversary this month and Dirk talks to Danny about the history of the bridge as well as the new exhibition that is opening for it. If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

In this episode, Ryan Staley shares his insights from recent experiences at a SaaS startup event in New York and the massive Dreamforce conference in San Francisco. Ryan discusses the challenges faced by tech startups and large enterprises in implementing AI strategies, revealing that many companies lack a systematic approach to AI integration. Ryan highlights the importance of operationalizing AI across organizations and shares key takeaways from his interactions with Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies. Ryan also delves into the emerging AgentForce initiative by Salesforce, exploring its potential impact on the industry and the innovative pricing models being introduced. Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes.   Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/   KEY TAKEAWAYS At a SaaS startup event, it was surprising to find that only one out of 26 companies had a systematic strategy for implementing AI into their products. During interactions with Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies at Dreamforce, it was noted that many organizations are defaulting to using AI tools like Microsoft Copilot without proper training or systematic rollout. Salesforce's AgentForce initiative is focused on creating autonomous agents tailored to specific industries and functions, leveraging retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to provide higher-quality answers based on the data within Salesforce. Many companies expressed skepticism about the timeline for rolling out Salesforce's AgentForce, with some believing it could take up to a year and a half to fully implement, despite the potential benefits. There is a significant opportunity for both small tech startups and large enterprises to operationalize AI effectively. A systematic approach to AI can lead to substantial improvements in productivity and revenue growth.   BEST MOMENTS "Only one out of 26 companies could answer... what are your plans or your systematic strategy for implementing AI into your product?" "A lot of companies are defaulting company-wide to models like Microsoft Copilot because of the embedded security comfort factor." "By taking a systematic approach, you can multiply the output of your entire workforce." "Salesforce's new version is, in my opinion, no do-it-yourself AI; let Salesforce do that." "This could automate parts of people's jobs... it's going to be really interesting to see how it implements."   Ryan Staley Founder and CEO Whale Boss ryan@whalesellingsystem.com www.ryanstaley.io  Saas, Saas growth, Scale, Business Growth, B2b Saas, Saas Sales, Enterprise Saas, Business growth strategy, founder, ceo: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecrets

Paul talks about the profound concept of consciousness and its role in manifesting our ideal lives.

You can reach Paul, find his podcasts and join the Mindset Change WhatsApp community via the link below  Contact and social links below:https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links  KEY TAKEAWAYS At your core, you are an infinite, timeless being of consciousness, separate from the limitations and fears created by the ego. Recognising this truth can transform how you relate to yourself and the world. The ego is a collection of thoughts, beliefs, and conditioning that can create an illusion of separation from your true self. While it serves a purpose in the human experience, it is essential to understand that it does not define who you are. Practicing mindfulness allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. By becoming present and connecting with the stillness at the end of your breath, you can quiet the ego and access your true essence. Manifestation is about embodying the version of yourself that already exists in a timeline where your dreams are realised. By focusing on this future self, you can align with the experiences and opportunities that resonate with your true essence. BEST MOMENTS "The ego is the voice in your head, constantly narrating your life, judging situations, comparing yourself to others and trying to protect you."  "You are the awareness that can observe and listen to your thoughts... without any judgement."  "Manifesting isn't about forcing things to happen or frantically chasing after goals... it is about becoming the version of yourself who already exists in the timeline where your dreams have been realised."  "We really don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Use code PAUL20 for 20% discount off every order including all products and menopause support supplements too: https://numindwellness.com/

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  What does it mean to live off the interest?  Living off guaranteed interest  When interest rates go down  If you can't live off of the interest   Key Takeaways:  At the time of this taping, some money markets are 4, some CDs at five, and some MYGAs at five and a half. A lot of you out there have enough funds that whatever interests you can take off of those products is sufficient, and you never have to touch the principal.  There's no guaranteed return with index annuities, variable annuities, or buffer annuities. That doesn't mean they're bad products, but if you can live off of a guaranteed interest, why not do that?  When you lock in at a certain interest, it doesn't matter if the interest rates go down in the market - you'll benefit from what is contractually guaranteed.  Suppose we can prove mathematically that we can't hit your goal from living off of the interest. In that case, that's when we'll look for contractual guarantee products for lifetime income because they'll provide a higher payback of your money.    "You're going to ride that peeling off the interest as long as you can. You're gonna ride that train of never touching the principal and never paying a fee as long as you can, and if rates go down, then we will pivot " —  Stan The Annuity Man.        Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Do you want to decode the essence of human behavior and understand the driving force behind every action? Discover the power of body language with Dr. David Snyder as he explores the subtle shifts in the behavior of human beings and relating them to lie detection and face reading. Stay tuned! Standout Quotes: •Everything human beings do is in response to a feeling. It's either a feeling they want more of or a feeling they want a whole lot less of. •You don't need to memorize all the variations of body language; you just need to understand the continuum of body language and a few basic principles. •When you see people shift from their normal way of behaving, it indicates increasing indicators of stress, discomfort, and negative neurological arousal. Key Takeaways: • At the core of every human action is a quest for feeling—more of the good or less of the not-so-good. Understanding this emotional compass unveils the essence of our choices. •Mastering body language isn't about memorizing every nuance. Embrace the art of observation, for in the subtleties lies the language that speaks volumes. •Behavioral shifts are signals, a language of stress and discomfort. Pay attention when others deviate from their norm—it's a window into their emotional landscape. Episode Timeline: [00:02] Body language and human behavior [03:34] Social Connections [08:43] The psychology of body language [12:53] Detecting deception using body language and facial expressions [18:12] Face reading and personal growth

Today I am joined by forensic accountant, Tracy Coenen. She provides some great information for anyone who wants to get a better handle with their finances and then discusses tips for those going through divorce. Tracy provides a list of red flags to look out for and tells the most common places your spouse may hide money. Then she talks about creating a spending plan and how to take control of your finances so that you can feel empowered. You'll also hear definitions about financial infidelity and financial abuse and how to handle either of those situations. Tune in to this episode so you can feel confident about your finances!  In this episode: [1:47] What is a forensic accountant? [3:28] How can people use Tracy's Divorce Money Guide? [4:11] What are the financial red flags that people should keep an eye out for? [5:33] If someone is just starting the divorce process, where should they start? [7:38] How to make a spending plan less stressful. [8:31] What is financial infidelity? [10:04] How do you find something that is hidden such as a savings or checking account? [13:12] What is considered financial abuse? [14:30] Who needs a forensic accountant?  [16:30] How to become hands on with finances as you are going through divorce. [18:44] What do you do if statements don't come through or you don't have access to something such as a 401K? Key Takeaways:  At the beginning of the divorce process (or even more), take a look at your bank statements and get an understanding of how you've been spending. Having this information will allow you to dig in and see if there are any odd bank transfers, create a spending plan, and determine what spending needs to continue vs. what luxuries you may need to give up temporarily. Watch for red flags during your relationship. Some red flags are: Being secretive about money Behavior Change - Secretive about where they are at, hiding their phone, etc. Documents disappearing from the house Forged signatures on documents Having you sign documents while insisting you don't need to read them Stop relying on your spouse to know all the information about finances. Have monthly meetings where you go over all the finance details - bank balance, spending, 401k accounts, etc. This puts you both on the same page for information and allows you to be knowledgeable about what is going on.  Quotes:  “How empowering it is to know that you have just gotten in your hot little hands the financial data that can help you figure out all sorts of things. You might never use those documents for whatever reason, you might not end up looking at them, but having them is really empowering.” - Tracy Coenen “When I think about financial abuse, I think of someone using money to control you, to control your activities. So maybe they're restricting what you can spend, maybe they're taking a microscope to what you're spending every dime of it. Maybe they are not even allowing you to have any money to spend. Or they are recklessly spending, endangering your family, they are hiding money from you, there are all sorts of things that can fall under that umbrella.” - Tracy Coenen Guest Bio:  Resources:  Fraud Coach Website Fraud Coach Website - Doing Divorce Different Resources Book: Find Me The Money: Take Control, Uncover the Truth, and Win the Money You Deserve In Your Divorce Book: Lifestyle Analysis in Divorce Cases: Investigating Spending and Finding Hidden Income and Assets Lesa Koski Website Lesa's Online Courses Doing Divorce Different Soberlink To receive real-time alerts that your child is safe and to receive $50 off your Soberlink device, visit https://www.soberlink.com/partners/different   The Onward app was made for divorced parents to help track, share, and split their children's expenses.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Benjamin Friedman who, over a 20+ year career has navigated the perilous waters of startup finance and operations, riding the bumpy waves of startup growth and guiding his companies through successful M&A transactions, equity raises, and debt financing.To cap it all, Benjamin is a firm advocate for values such as collaboration, optimism, and open communication, and has consistently strived to connect company goals, team initiatives, and individual performance in his roles. KEY TAKEAWAYS At graduate school I'd studied nonprofit management and worked at a nonprofit for a few years and found it was very process driven, we kept talking about what to do but never actually trying things. I'm much more results oriented, so I moved into an e-commerce company which doubled every year and it was an amazing ride. I became addicted to the startup journey. A lot of startups have a unique journey, every founder is an individual, but there are some common themes. Successful startups have founders that are clear on who they are and what they're trying to accomplish. That might seem easy, but it's actually very hard work to regularly check in with yourself. The other application is around vision and values; those will remain constant even as the business pivots, evolves, changes and challenges occurring. The final piece is feedback loops, successful founders are constantly seeking advice from advisors, investors, other founders and their team, they're constantly seeking feedback – they may not act on it every time – new ideas and how to get things done. Align outcomes, results and activities. A lot of people get worked up by working really hard and spending a lot of time and effort but activity alone won't generate the outcomes that you're looking for, you have to see what results are coming from that activity and then you have to see if those are affecting the outcomes that you desire. Are you looking at it through industry metrics, internal metrics? You need to be constantly running experiments to see if ‘x' improves your quality, your efficiency for you or your customers. You have to constantly evaluate your process but aligning your activity results and outcomes is really critical. Bringing in fractional experts can do a number of things; they can help you look holistically across the business and make connections between different functions, how do sales, marketing, finance and product all connect and what are the ways to optimise them collaboratively to grow your business. How have things been done in the past and how can they be applied to your business in order to grow as fast as possible? Cost and risk are considerations as well, by looking at fractional resources you're mitigating both; you pay people who come in much less than someone doing the job full-time, especially if you don't know how they're going to work and how they'll fit with your team. BEST MOMENTS‘Being open to other people's opinions is going to make you stronger on your journey.'‘It's very important to balance strategy and implementation.'‘We often think about productivity as running fast, but if you're not sure of what direction you want to be running, it doesn't matter how fast you're going, you're going to be heading in the wrong direction.'‘Unsuccessful founders keep doing the same thing their customer needs, successful ones ask “what is it you need now?” and they'll provide that.'

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  What does it mean to live off the interest?  Living off guaranteed interest  When interest rates go down  If you can't live off of the interest   Key Takeaways:  At the time of this taping, some money markets are 4, some CDs at five, and some MYGAs at five and a half. A lot of you out there have enough funds that whatever interests you can take off of those products is sufficient, and you never have to touch the principal.  There's no guaranteed return with index annuities, variable annuities, or buffer annuities. That doesn't mean they're bad products, but if you can live off of a guaranteed interest, why not do that?  When you lock in at a certain interest, it doesn't matter if the interest rates go down in the market - you'll benefit from what is contractually guaranteed.  Suppose we can prove mathematically that we can't hit your goal from living off of the interest. In that case, that's when we'll look for contractual guarantee products for lifetime income because they'll provide a higher payback of your money.    "You're going to ride that peeling off the interest as long as you can. You're gonna ride that train of never touching the principal and never paying a fee as long as you can, and if rates go down, then we will pivot " —  Stan The Annuity Man.        Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator! 

Liz and Michelle welcome ex Blue Peter presenter, Katy Hill, to their new 'Wendy-house'-style TWC studio in the garden. Katy is a personal development and empowerment coach, speaker, podcaster, BAFTA, and NTA award-winning broadcaster, and writer. She is well known as the daredevil Blue Peter presenter who was the first civilian to fly with the Red Arrows and the first woman to present the Hit40UK show. Katy was tenacious in her goals, badgering the editor of Blue Peter with showreels until she got the audition that kickstarted her remarkable career.  Given her achievements, it´s hard to believe that she describes herself as ‘the shy girl' at school!  Overcoming this crippling shyness has inspired her to train extensively as a Personal Development Coach and NLP Practitioner and found LIMITLESS By Katy Hill. She coaches women, empowering them to recognise what they want, then overcome their fears and societal resistance to get exactly that.  It's not uncommon that midlife women 'lose' themselves and have less confidence.  Life coaches can help their clients get back on track with a gameplan to achieve their goals during our empowering second spring.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  At some point in their lives, most women lose themselves. Women tend to put the needs of others before theirs. Over time many women´s lives narrow to the point where they are confined to “playing chopsticks” instead of being able to enjoy playing the whole keyboard. It´s about taking action. You have to commit to change. Midlife really is your second spring. BEST MOMENTS  “Girls still got sewing kits for Christmas, I didn´t want a sewing kit, I wanted to drive a fast-racing car.” “I´ve talked to so many women in midlife who say they've lost themselves” “I look on midlife as such a gift” “It´s no good getting all of the knowledge if you are not going to implement it.” If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, and review it on your podcast platform.  We read every email sent to us at twowomenchatting@gmail.com so please get in touch!

Imagine your best selling novel being transformed into a huge tv series in the USA.  That's what happened to Alexandra Potter, author of Confessions of a Forty-Something F-Up!  Her brilliantly funny inter-generational book was optioned by Disney and will premiere on Disney+ and ABC on 7 February (a month or two later in the UK) renamed 'Not Dead Yet'. Alexandra joins Liz and Michelle to explain how realising that her life, and those of her friends, were nothing like the perfect lives being conveyed on social media inspired her to write her latest novel. This fun episode provides an insight into what is like to have a novel turned into a TV show by one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world and to know that failing doesn't really mean failure.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  At a certain age, women start to become invisible, despite the fact they have so much to offer which is one reason Alexandra made sure she included older female characters in her novel. It does not matter if you are in Yorkshire, London, or LA all women have similar relatable experiences and feel the same about things. The way society works makes most people feel like failures when, in reality, they are not failing. It´s never too late and you are never too old to change and do what you want. BEST MOMENTS  “We were talking about James Bond actors .. and who walks in? Timothy Dalton” “I was looking at all these kinds of amazing lives, perfect lives, everybody was leading. And it looked nothing like the life I was leading.” “I just think that women when they age, they become invisible… it just drives me nuts” “It was kind of like Cinderella going to the ball,” “You don´t have to put these age limits on things,” If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, and review it on your podcast platform.  We read every email sent to us at twowomenchatting@gmail.com so please get in touch!

Including Be Careful What You Wish For, Me and Mr. Darcy, which won the Best New Fiction Award at the Jane Austen Regency World Awards.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jeremy Poock discuss:Designing and brokering your exit strategy. Building your law firm like the business it is. How to implement trust transfer. Selling the machine that you created.  Key Takeaways:At some point, solo lawyers will need to look at their law firm as a business and build it in the way that it will work for them and is something that they might be able to sell in the future. In the Senior Attorney Match model, trust is the flux capacitor that will allow you to transfer your firm (where people are coming to you) to another senior attorney whom you also trust.Even in a solo firm, you do not need to use your name to name your law firm. There is power in brand names and in creating brand value. The winningest meetings happen when there is synergy between the senior attorney, looking to leave, and their younger protege looking to take over.  "Trust transfer is our flux capacitor. We're transferring the trust that our clients that a senior attorneys clients have in that senior attorney. We are transferring that trust to a successor attorney." —  Jeremy Poock Episode References: Gary Vee: https://garyvaynerchuk.com/Connect with Jeremy Poock:  Website: https://www.seniorattorneymatch.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremypoock/Twitter: https://twitter.com/srattorneymatch Thank you to our Sponsors!Legalese Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/Practice Panther: https://www.practicepanther.com/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: Legal Business Development Isn't Rocket Science and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Michael Finke discuss:  Annuities are more attractive today  Protecting your future lifestyle  Cutting little slices on the birthday cake There's no perfect product to solve for inflation   Key Takeaways:  At the time of this episode's taping, near-retirees can lock in 5.2% on five-year MYGAs for the next five years; however, it may go up or down.  When buying an annuity, you're essentially buying yourself a minimum standard of living for ever, no matter how long you live. You have to choose if you want to shoulder the risk or transfer it. Your future lifestyle is at stake.  It's not going to be easy, but you must first recognize that you're not going to live forever. You have to decide how you could spread out your savings to accommodate your lifestyle until you die or if you want to spend more money to have less worry.  If you can be more flexible, then inflation's impact won't be that big of a deal. Also, there's no perfect product to solve for inflation. There are options that could help you have some stability through it, like social security and I Bonds.    "If we model out 1000 different potential retirements, the ones who will have an annuity will, on average, be happier, but the ones with an investment portfolio might have a slightly higher probability of success. But there is no information about what failure means." —  Michael Finke.    Connect With Michael Finke: Website: http://www.michaelfinke.com/  LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-finke-8134808/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mfinke  Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinkeonFinance    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator! 

In this episode, Cheryl and Keith discuss: Don't be a minimalist in finance Planning finances long-term  Taking ownership of your finances  Learning how to manage your own finances   Key Takeaways: At the highest level, you want frequent statements and you want to use them effectively for ongoing decision-making. Read the statements and make decisions based on the information that you have. Don't be a minimalist.  Don't settle for short-term planning, have a roadmap of where you are so that you can make intelligent decisions about where you are going. Putting out fires is necessary, but making sure they don't happen as much in the first place is the wiser thing to do.  You don't have to be as skilled as an accountant or bookkeeper in order to manage your finances. You need to stop with the negative self-talk, work through your limiting beliefs, and start doing it. Don't deny it or delegate it to somebody else.  Nerdwallet, investopedia, or any other wikipedia-ish type of sites for finances is a huge resource for financial management that anyone can take. Being able to manage your own finances will take some investment of time into learning more.  “If we're very dedicated to managing our finances -I have a belief that you can do it in as little as 15 minutes a day - and not necessarily every day - you can master your finances.”  —  Keith Kohler   Connect with Keith Kohler: Website: https://www.k2financing.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithkohler1/   Get in Touch with Cheryl: Website: www.cherylknows.com  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwvWKXBC6fKn1dLGY11hxIg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dynamiteproductionsinc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherylknowlton/     Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

How has the pandemic positively impacted the wine industry? Why is the percentage of women buying online rising faster than men? How do consumers benefit when wine producers have access to more and better data?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Cathy Huyghe and Andrea Smalling, authors of the WineDirect x Enolytics 2021 Direct-To-Consumer Impact Report: What Wineries Need to Do Now.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights Which interesting trends have been identified when it comes to Gen Z drinking habits? What can wine brands do to engage younger generations? Which positive trends stood out in the DTC report? How did the pandemic impact online DTC sales? Has the lifting of lockdown restrictions negatively impacted online DTC sales? Why should consumers be excited about the growth of the online side of the wine industry? What are the implications of the DTC report for the Canadian wine scene? How did Canadian wineries quickly adapt to the new environment of the pandemic? What would be the benefits of opening the borders to shipping wine across provinces in Canada? How does having more data and more granularity benefit everyone from wine consumers to producers? Why are more women purchasing wine online than men? What are Andrea & Cathy's ideal settings for having a glass of wine? Which controversial wine opinions do Cathy & Andrea have? Which childhood foods would be fun to pair with wine today? What was Andrea's worst food and wine pairing? Which great historical figures would Cathy & Andrea love to share a bottle of wine with? What message would Andrea & Cathay share if they could put up their own billboard downtown in a big city? Which wine would Cathy & Andrea want to be served at their funerals?   Key Takeaways At least there were some upsides to the pandemic on the wine industry in terms of moving it forward with selling online and tightening direct connections between those who make wine and those who drink it. I found it fascinating that the percentage of women buying online is rising faster than men. It makes sense though given women still buy most household items. Getting granular on the data means getting more personal with consumers in terms of their experience in buying the wine whether that's in person at the winery or online.   Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Video Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wednesday at 7 pm eastern on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.

In this episode, Sabine VdL is joined by Matthew Jones, Managing Director and venture capital investor in insurance and risk management-related technology for Anthemis in the UK, Europe, and North America. Through his previous work with Swiss Re, Matthew sponsored Sabine's first accelerator and was one of her most active mentors, engaged assessor, and investor. They both learned massively during the acceleration programme as to what a sustainable business model meant.   KEY TAKEAWAYS At the core of our investment thesis are banks, insurance companies, and FinTech companies. But in addition to those kinds of businesses, we're also actively researching, exploring, and investing in several adjacent industries where we believe that the technology will intersect with financial services in the future, including energy, agriculture, mobility, health, and property tech. For me, cultivating change means that we're prepared to back genuinely different and disruptive ideas that others aren't. Because our team comes from partly inside and partly outside financial services, we try to blend those two different perspectives into thinking creatively about how we back new companies and under-represented founders. Within the context of venturing, there's a rule of thumb that startups should target a 10x better experience for the user or a 10x better return on investment. That's a good rule of thumb. And across financial services, there are so many underdeveloped spots where growth ventures can focus on delivering that kind of outcome. Entrepreneurs that seek funding should seek smart money. They should ask their investors what they believe in, and how they put it into practice. They should evaluate their investment team and the partners too: Are they a diverse bunch? Do they have values that align with yours and are they putting them into practice? Would you want to affiliate yourself with a firm that doesn't have the same values as yours?   BEST MOMENTS ‘Without insurance and re-insurance nothing really happens. Insurance is everywhere, which is great for me as someone who's a little bit obsessive about insurance.' ‘Financial services is the lifeblood of the world's economies. But we recognise it's not perfect and there are opportunities for improvement.' ‘There is no part of the insurance value chain that is immune to the effect of technology.' ‘There's no excuse, and it's not acceptable, for big venture capital companies to have all male and all white CEO portfolio companies. We are in the 21st Century!'   ABOUT THE GUEST Matthew is a Managing Director at Anthemis, where he is responsible for sourcing, analyzing, and executing investments as well as providing support for Anthemis' portfolio companies. He brings in-depth knowledge of the insurance sector and focuses on investments in insurance and risk-related technology. Matthew's areas of interest include analytics and data, artificial intelligence and automation, asset management, digital health, mobility, new insurance propositions, and risk management. Prior to joining Anthemis, Matthew was at Swiss Re, with roles across non-life and life insurance and reinsurance in both London and Zurich. Matthew previously served on the boards of Flock, Hokodo and Stable and is the resident venture investor for Carrier Management's VC Viewpoint series. He holds a bachelor's in business administration from the University of Bath and also studied at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. https://www.anthemis.com/    ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew, a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers & accelerating over 100 startup ventures.

On this episode, Catherine Brown joins Mike for a great conversation. They discuss her new book and some challenges we tend to face with our perception and confidence in Sales.  Key Takeaways: At our core, people believe they are not enough. We posture and have our brand but deep down a lot of the sales challenges we have and the complication that we bring to the situation is because we are complicated inside ourself. Most people who feel reluctant about selling are wresting with the foundational definition of Sales. Operate from a principle of "them before me" Ask, don't assume Educate, give information so that they can make the best decision for them.

How do you take a simple moment and turn it into something that is memorable every single day? Many of us have had wonderful experiences at hotels, but residential living has been slow to embrace the lessons of hospitality. In today's episode of The Experience Strategy Podcast, we're talking to Trevor Hightower, the founder of Craftwork, about creating meaningful moments for apartment residents and powerful ways to disrupt the residential real estate industry.  In This Episode: [02:00] Building apartments has always been more about the physical space and less about the experience. Here's how Craftwork is changing the entire hospitality experience.   [08:00] How Trevor balances the needs of commercial and residential clients 12:55] More and more innovators from outside the real estate industry are coming in to disrupt.   [15:55] What does it actually mean to have a customer-focused business in real estate?  [19:00] A different approach to residential living creates stories where both residents and those who work in the buildings feel seen and valued.  [20:05] To keep things fresh in real estate, you have to make changes that are authentic.  [23:15] What's next for Craftwork?   Key Takeaways: At the end of the day, it's the experience of the end-user that creates the most value for the asset.  More and more owners are seeing the importance of experience for their end-user.  Craftwork's missional focus and the benefits of Craftwork to their clients, are directly aligned with each other, creating a customer focused mission. Authenticity is crucial for the real estate industry to stay fresh and competitive.    Bio:  Trevor Hightower's experience in positions of leadership in the military and in the commercial real estate industry have all helped shape his philosophy and passion for community, entrepreneurship, place and seeing others around him flourish. He is the founder of Workflourish, a coworking space in Houston, which merged with Craftwork in early 2018. Prior to this, he was Managing Director of Houston for CBRE. He now serves as President of Craftwork. Tyler (wife), Chase (son), Grace (daughter), and Elle (daughter) are the top of his list to serve and he loves them dearly.

Last year Paul Copcutt was interviewed by Adney Fernandes, a Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate Investor, Founder of the OnCom Network (now CanCom Investment Network). He shares his thoughts and ideas around marketing and branding in commercial real estate. What you will learn from this episode: Find out branding and marketing ideas that attract rather than chase real estate investors. Learn why there is value in asking rather than pushing where marketing your real estate brand is concerned. Discover important thoughts and insights that you might have missed out on when it comes to your brand and marketing strategies. Sometimes, instead of focusing on the most important things we need to do for our real estate investing brand, we get pulled in many directions wasting time and money doing things that aren't helping our brand building and marketing. How can you position your real estate investing business to attract the right investor partners rather than chase them? In this episode, let's listen to Paul's important thoughts on branding from a marketing and social media perspective. Think about how you can leverage LinkedIn and Facebook for your real estate investing brand. Hear important insights around targeting your audience, qualifying leads, and partnerships. He is generous with actionable and useful tips on putting content out there, whether videos or written form, or any other forms of communication that generates sales conversation for possible conversion. And with COVID shifting everything around us, make use of his suggestion of an old basic sales technique that provides a source of strong leads. "The brand is trust and credibility, and marketing is about the visibility of that trust and credibility." - Paul Copcutt Topics Covered: 02:07 - Differentiating branding from marketing 03:07 - The emotional connection that comes with buying a brand 04:51 - Two sets of attributes that you need to identify and you focus on communicating in terms of your brand 08:06 - Why targeting your audience is critical in branding your 12:52 - What you can do to attract real estate investors 18:19 - Eliminating people that are not your target investors when creating a video about portfolio package on previous deals 20:39 - Talking about brand consistency and leveraging social media, specifically LinkedIn for your real estate investing branding 24:44 - What giving and adding value can do for your real estate investing business 26:33 - Always asking versus pushing 27:45 - Thinking about your value proposition in qualifying your leads 32:08 - A basic sales technique you can make the most of 34:24 - What is so important to think about in terms of branding and marketing 35:26 - Partnerships and how it ties back to your target market Key Takeaways: "At the end of the day, success, visibility, and credibility of that brand is what other people say about it." - Paul Copcutt "People buy based on emotional reasons versus rational reasons, in a lot of cases, particularly around successful brands." - Paul Copcutt "Targeting your audience-- it's critical because you could spend a lot of time and resources and money trying to be everything to everyone. And you'll end up either chasing your tail or you won't be very effective. That helps you differentiate your brand. It makes your brand memorable. It helps people refer you, as well." - Paul Copcutt "Like many types of sale, it's going to be a numbers game. In terms of, you're going to have to go and talk to 100 people to get ten people who are interested to get five people who are really interested to get three people that are going to invest. For that 100 up there, why not have something pre-recorded that you can direct them to versus having all that one-on-one. Leverage technology." - Paul Copcutt "I would think that for the majority of people that are looking for real estate, not necessarily real estate investors, but people that might consider investing in real estate as a silent partner... I think LinkedIn is a very underutilized network. There is a lot of information you can get out of LinkedIn without having to pay for it. It's probably the only network where you can organically have success, trying to identify people and have sales conversations." - Paul Copcutt "Always asking versus pushing. So, it will be a message saying, would seeing a presentation on multifamily investing, or medical plaza investing be of interest to you?" - Paul Copcutt "Some of the good basic sales techniques like referrals...I think a lot of people ignore the referral avenue, and yet a referral is probably the strongest lead you'll ever get." - Paul Copcutt Connect with Paul Copcutt: reibranded.com LinkedIn Email: podcast@paulcopcutt.com Music: Thank you to Zoax for the intro music

That's the top tier." - Michael Halbmeier "The second tier would be engagement on the content. If you've got valuable content that your end-user might wish to download, that would be seen as a value to the end user. Tracking that is important because it will give you insight to how many people are engaging with that content. And sure, you produce more of it. And use that as an indication of engagement with your brand." - Michael Halbmeier "If you're committed to growing your business and becoming more sophisticated along the way, your CRM doesn't have to be overly expensive." - Michael Halbmeier "Having a close tab on who you have, from a record standpoint, I do feel is critically important. Because then again, understanding what types of leads, qualifying those leads, and understanding how you got them is critical." - Michael Halbmeier "I often talk about Google My Business being the new homepage. If you think about where things appear on a search engine results page, it's ads first. If there's local intent, it's Google My Business second. And then comes your website. I see a lot of businesses put time, energy, and effort into website SEO." - Michael Halbmeier "One of the strategies and tactics I employed, thinking about local markets as well if you're in the real estate investment side of things, you can talk about how you service an area and actually be rewarded with local service area pages on your website." - Michael Halbmeier "Transcription on video certainly helps. When you're uploading video content on YouTube, think about your YouTube channel description. That's a critical piece in the video description, as well." - Michael Halbmeier "Facebook boosted posts versus the campaign -- I'm more of the mind that it's the campaign that will have a better return on investment." - Michael Halbmeier Additional resources and recommendations: Google Keyword Planner Moz Local Think With Google Connect with Michael Halbmeier: www.cleardigital.ca E: gocleardigital@gmail.ca Connect with Paul Copcutt: reibranded.com LinkedIn E:podcast@paulcopcutt.com Music: Thank you to Zoax for the intro music

Having a strategy to deal with problem behaviors.   Key Takeaways: At the heart of a lot of behavioral problems, you will find communication issues that need to be addressed.  Space is everything to a dog, especially in our very confined modern society. Changing canine behavior is going to take commitment and consistency.  Don’t teach a dog anything you don’t want him to do. Don’t let him learn to do the behavior you don’t want him to do.  A dog is going to repeat a behavior where that behavior is rewarded and is successful   "We have to be really cognizant of the animal's state of mind to make sure that we are doing the right thing in order to change behavior and not simply to suspend the dog's reaction until such time as the dog feels that reaction can explode forth." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Connect with Jerry for Personalized Virtual Training at calendly.com/tarheelcanine to register!   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Tarheel Canine Training:  www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube:  tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website:  psak9.org Patreon:   patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine     Train Hard, train smart, be safe.     Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Christina Martini discusses: Her fascination with the topic of introverts and how it started, including a professional event featuring  Susan Cain and her book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. Qualities and characteristics that tend to differentiate introverts from the rest of the pack. 10 Tips for living and working with introverts. The importance of understanding and respecting the personality traits of those around us. Key Takeaways: At least 1/3 of the people we know are introverts, these qualities and predilections should be considered in the context of our careers and interactions with others. The introverts among us should understand that our natural tendencies can sometimes lead to self-limiting behavior and that sometimes we need to turn it off. We all, introverts and extroverts alike, must make a concerted effort to balance the benefits of different types of working styles and contributions, and work together to reach optimal results for our clients. One of the most important things we can all do is to understand and respect the different personality traits of those around us.   “We all need to embrace who we are, and to understand our natural tendencies. Whether an introvert or an extrovert, there is no right or wrong – we are wired a certain way, and we need to acknowledge and accept this about ourselves.” —  Christina Martini   Connect with Christina Martini:   Twitter: @TinaMartini10 (https://twitter.com/TinaMartini10?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) Website: www.paradigmshiftshow.com (http://www.paradigmshiftshow.com/) LinkedIn: Christina Martini (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinamartini) Email: christinamartini.paradigmshift@gmail.com (mailto:christinamartini.paradigmshift@gmail.com)     Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 39 Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: David Harris, founder & CEO of Prosperident Watch the full video of interview by clicking here! Key Takeaways: At least 60% of dentists will be embezzled from, but the actual percentage is probably higher. Understanding WHY people steal will help in profiling an embezzler. People steal for 2 reasons: need & greed. Thieves want to be alone when they steal. Keep an eye out for employees who are coming in early, leaving late, or otherwise coming and going at strange times. Be familiar with your practice management software’s daily and monthly financial reports, and run / print those reports yourself. Don’t give anyone the option to report selectively. The Office Manager generally has the most opportunity for financial theft, but anyone at the front desk can be capable as well. Any form of wealth transfer to you can be intercepted; cash, check, ACH, sale of dental supplies, time, you name it. Most embezzlement is not found through audits, but by watching employee behavior. Look for staff members who have money issues, compulsive behavior, who never take vacation, staff members who always resist change, who are territorial, resistant to outside advisors, resistant to upgrades, etc. Less than 1/3 of embezzlement is discovered through a financial anomaly. The other 2/3 of embezzlement is discovered based on watching employee behavior. Many dentists feel ashamed about finding they’ve been embezzled from, but in reality it is not the dentist that caused it, and there is no reason to feel ashamed. There’s no way to totally safe-proof your business, but you can work to catch embezzlement early on. Shift your attention from prevention to detection. Proper background checks during hiring are the BEST way to safeguard your business from embezzlement. When hiring a new employee, talk to all previous employers for the last 5 years. Don’t call the phone number given to you by the potential new hire, instead google them and call the number found there. Ask for exact start date and exact end date, compare those to the resume. You’re looking for discrepancies that may indicate hidden jobs. Confirm job title. The best question to ask is, “Would you rehire this person again if you had a job opening and they were available?” 1 in 4 adults in the US has a criminal record. Prosperident offers a range of products designed to help you put systems in place to aide in preventing embezzlement, and they also offer investigation products should you suspect an embezzler may be at work in your business.

Unique 3D printing innovations (like printing furniture) – Eugene Pentland – ep 34 Eugene Pentland runs Pentland Designs (as a side job), a company that uses 3D printing to create every day mechanical solutions. He has come up with solutions like a quick access wallet, a solution to never needing to tie your shoes again, or sorting your spare change. We discuss his role at Pico Turbine (his full time job) where they use 3D printing in a wide range of applications, like coming up with unique solutions for disabled kids at a rehab facility. We also talk about a large format 3D printer that is used to 3D print office chairs (it uses a massive nozzle diameter of 3mm). Some other areas touched on: Eugene's invention: shoe lace lock What software does Eugene design in? – Mainly,  Autodesk fusion 360 but he also has used Solidworks and Creo parametric Key Takeaways At the beginning of our conversation, he warns about getting a low end 3D printer. There will probably be issues. But if you have time, it can also be a good way to learn the machine from having to do repairs 3D printing is great for problem solving. He has invented 5 or so products that solve some real problems, like the joystick issue and the shoe lace issue. The coin sorter solution on his youtube page is quite impressive.

Frank McGovern is a real estate investor in the Philadelphia area. Frank recently closed a deal where he made $75,000 net profit, but how did he do it? Find out on today's episode! Alex swears if you use just one of Frank's strategies from today's interview, you'll see some fantastic things happen in your real estate business.   Key Takeaways: At the time of this call, Frank is about to make $75,000 on a wholesale deal. Frank never had a doubt in his mind that this was what he wanted to do for a living. Frank had to overcome a lot of adversities in his life, in order to make his real estate business work. Frank's backstory did hold him down in the past, and kept him from achieving success. You can do anything if you have the right mindset and work ethic. For this $75K deal, how did Frank get in touch with the homeowner? This property came into Frank's lap two years ago. What is skip tracing? What is Frank's follow-up process? How long did the homeowner own this piece of land? How many times did Frank have to follow up with the homeowner? Frank stresses that you should not follow up with every lead so aggressively. With this case, Frank knew it was a very valuable 6-figure property, and the owner was in debt. What was the homeowner's motivation for selling the property? Follow-up is key in this business. Frank believes time makes people come to their senses. You can learn wholesaling in a week, but knowing your market takes years to accomplish. Don't give up! Frank started when he had kids and it was a struggle, but he knew he could do it.   Mentioned in This Episode: FlipEmpire.com Join our Facebook discussions via Flip Empire Private Facebook Group Connect with Frank at Frankbuysphilly.com, or on Facebook Get Help with Legal and Professional Solutions at Lexisnexis.com Skip Trace your leads via Tlo.com Episode 34: Lee Kearney Tells You Everything You Need To Know About Market Cycles Episode 76: Mark Evans DM on Finding Your Unique Ability, Building a Team, Growing & Scaling       Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?
