In this episode I chat with Nicky Borowiec about her journey from in-house creative roles to establishing her own business as a design and brand consultant specialising in the publishing industry. We delve into the advantages of being a sole creative when pitching against larger agencies, and we explore valuable insights into the pitching process, client communication, and pricing strategies. Key Takeaways: Being a sole trader can be a superpower, offering cost-effectiveness, specialised knowledge, and a more personalised client experience compared to larger agencies. Transitioning from a freelancer to a consultant mindset can significantly impact business growth and client interactions by shifting the focus from seeking approval to providing expert guidance. Automation and systemisation are crucial for streamlining business operations, saving time on administrative tasks, and allowing more focus on creative work.

HEALTHY BOUNDARIES HELP EVERYONE- What if the very thing you're avoiding - boundaries - is actually the thing that would make you a better coach? In this episode, we're talking about why boundaries matter, how to set them, and what happens when you don't. If you've ever felt like being accessible all the time is part of your “value,” let's untangle that myth right now. Your sanity, your sleep, and your clients will thank you. 3 Key Takeaways: Being overly available to clients often leads to burnout, not better results. Boundaries don't repel clients - they actually attract the right ones and model emotional health. You can serve with more joy and clarity when your time and energy are protected. Listener Challenge: Decide on your official availability (even just messaging hours or session blocks) and communicate them to current or future clients. Post it where they'll see it. You're allowed to protect your peace.

Episode Summary Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we can accidentally enable bad behaviour within our teams. In this episode, Ben explores three subtle but powerful ways leaders might unintentionally allow bad behaviour to grow and how to address it before it causes bigger issues. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How being unavailable to your team can create opportunities for bad behaviour to go unnoticed. Why addressing only the symptoms (not the real issue) can allow bad behaviour to persist. The risks of focusing too much on results and overlooking how those results are achieved. Key Takeaways: ✅ Being present physically or virtually helps you observe, support, and guide your team more effectively. ✅ Direct conversations with team members about their behaviour are essential - don't just tweak processes and hope for the best. ✅ Results matter, but so does how you achieve them.

Chaos is an inevitable part of life of being human. It is a guaranteed visitor at least twice a year during the spring and fall eclipse seasons. Since this is something that cannot be stopped, how can we then flow WITH chaos instead of resisting it (and hurting ourselves in the process)?

Spoiler alert, it involved feeling my feelings.  Key Takeaways: Being on the healing journey doesn't mean you're immune to chaos Being connected to your body helps with navigating chaos in a way that serves everyone's highest good instead of perpetuating harm Chaos is here to redirect you and show you where disharmony exists Darkness from your internal world is not innately bad     https://creatinglight.co Try a somatic activated healing class for free, here!

Key Takeaways:Being a generalist in commercial real estate is better than being a specialist, as it broadens your investment skills and opportunities.The numbers alone don't make a deal - you need to consider operational capacity, management ability, and local market conditions as well.Real estate doesn't always go up in value, and can experience significant drops in the short-term.Just because you find a good deal doesn't mean the money will automatically come - raising capital is an ongoing process that requires preparation.The 1031 exchange is not always the best option, and it's important to consult your CPA.Single-family rentals are no longer a good investment due to the high risk and low reward.

Does money buy happiness and how important is it for a joyful life? Summer answers these questions and debunks the common myth in many spiritual circles that money is inherently bad. She shares why money is essential in any spiritual journey and the reasons no one should feel guilty for wanting to live a prosperous life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being spiritually aligned doesn’t mean rejecting material wealth, but you do need to understand its role in life. Being financially secure means you can focus on your purpose without being burdened by financial stress and worries. Money is just the physical and tangible thing that we use in this life to exchange energy. We should aim to live a prosperous life in all ways, money is part of this. It is imperative to have money to live a more fulfilled life. We need money to live freely, to choose how we spend our days and look after our loved ones. Money magnifies who you already are, so if you are a giver you will give more. BEST MOMENTS “If we can’t take the stuff with us when we go, how much time should be spent requiring funds?” “Financial security allows us more time to spend on our passions, our purpose and our spiritual growth without the burden of stress or lack” “If we didn’t make money or use money as a tool, life would be much harder” “Money is an imperative part of a more fulfilled life” “Money magnifies who you already are” HOST BIO I am Summer.

In this thought-provoking episode, Scott Smith tackles the age-old question of whether you're meant to be in the spotlight or play a different role. Through personal stories and insights from his own journey and his son's musical aspirations, Scott explores the internal conflict many face between wanting to be "the star" and finding their true calling. Drawing from his experience as an "introverted extrovert," Scott challenges listeners to examine their authentic desires versus societal expectations. He shares how he discovered that being a hybrid – someone who can lead from both the front and behind the scenes – ultimately led to greater fulfillment and success. Featured Story: Scott shares a compelling personal narrative about his son's journey to become a rock star, including a pivotal moment at the Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Strip. This story serves as a launching point to discuss the importance of understanding whether you truly want to be in the spotlight or if your talents might be better suited to a different role. Key Takeaways: Being in the spotlight isn't necessary for success or fulfillment Your natural inclinations might differ from your perceived aspirations It's possible to be a hybrid – someone who can lead from both front and backstage Success often comes from aligning your role with your authentic desires Pushing yourself into an ill-fitting role can lead to unnecessary frustration Understanding your true motivations is crucial for career satisfaction Memorable Quotes: "I'm very comfortable being out in front with zero need to be in front."  "The absolute truth of being a real rock star is you spend your whole entire life on a tour bus."  "I'm happier when I'm kind of producing the show a little bit, but I've got behind the scenes." Scott's Three-Step Approach: Honestly assess whether you genuinely want to be in the spotlight or if you're pursuing it based on others' expectations Identify your true motivations and what actually drives your satisfaction Align your actions with your authentic desires, whether that means stepping into the spotlight or finding your perfect supporting role Connect With Scott: Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Neil emphasises the importance of laughter in creating a welcoming atmosphere, offering practical tips on how to incorporate humour into guest interactions, from light-hearted welcomes to playful house rules.

Incorporating humour into house rules and messages can convey important information in a fun and engaging way, fostering a friendly environment.

In this episode, Eric discuss:Going beyond obligations The difference stewardship makesProcedural and substantive prudenceBehavioral governance Key Takeaways:Being a fiduciary is about meeting legal obligations, but being "more than a fiduciary" involves going beyond just meeting obligations to focus on achieving favorable participant outcomes through good stewardship.Fiduciary obligations are the foundation, but in defined contribution plans, you can meet all legal obligations and still get zero results for participants. Stewardship focuses on advocating for things like increased employer contributions even if not legally required.The fiduciary standard of care involves both procedural and substantive prudence, such as having a sound investment policy statement and monitoring process. Fiduciary best practices include proper education, documentation, and implementing industry best practices.Behavioral governance is about providing leadership, stewardship, and governance, even if you are not the most senior person on the committee. Fiduciaries have an equal say regardless of organizational hierarchy.“[Being a fiduciary] is a leadership role. As a fiduciary, as a committee member, and advisor, you are in a leadership role.” - Eric DysonConnect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

Join Doug as he talks with Maddy Alexander-Grout, an entrepreneur who transformed her life from £80,000 in debt to running successful businesses. Maddy shares her journey from running a local discount card business to becoming a visibility strategist and ADHD champion. As she talks about goal setting, manifestation, and authentic social media presence she gives her valuable knowledge and experience, advising entrepreneurs, especially those with neurodivergent minds, on how to set achievable goals and celebrate every success along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being specific with goals and writing them down is crucial, Maddy emphasises how having tangible, written goals helped her achieve everything from securing a book deal to finding her dream house. Authenticity in business is more valuable than portraying perfection and Maddy's success comes from being genuinely herself and sharing both victories and struggles openly. Conservative goal setting can be more effective than aiming too high, setting achievable targets helps maintain motivation and prevents rejection sensitivity, especially for those who are neurodivergent. TikTok success isn't just about viral content, reaching the right 200 people can be more valuable than reaching millions of the wrong ones. Traditional coaching methods don't work for everyone, many people need direct guidance rather than having answers drawn out of them. Being detailed about what you want when manifesting goals, helps align your actions with your objectives. Building a business around your values creates genuine connections.

In today's episode, Krista and Dana dive into the all-too-relatable concept of being a "single married mom." What does that mean? It's that feeling of navigating family life, raising kids, managing a home, and even running a business solo—even if you technically have a partner. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of it all by yourself, you're not alone, and we're here to unpack what this experience is, why it happens, and how to find support that truly helps. Topics Discussed: The Reality of Being a "Single Married Mom" Why so many moms feel like they're parenting and running a household alone, even with a partner. The complex realities of balancing motherhood, business, and life responsibilities solo. Creating Systems Without Feeling Robotic How setting up simple systems can be a lifesaver in managing family logistics. Why these systems create breathing room for deeper connection with family and partners, helping us focus on what really matters. Why Paying Moms for Their Work Isn't the Solution Breaking down the idea of assigning monetary value to stay-at-home or working moms. The real “pay” we need: feeling valued, seen, and connected with our partners and families. Shifting from Keeping Score to Building Connection How true partnership is about collaboration and appreciation, not keeping score. The role of community in helping us feel understood, especially when navigating feelings of overwhelm and burnout. Communicating Our Needs with Our Partners The importance of understanding and sharing our love languages to build supportive, balanced relationships. How finding the right support and having honest conversations can make partnership more fulfilling.

Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Today, Kane and Ash discuss the topic of how to monetize a podcast without actually having one. They delve into two main strategies: being a guest on other podcasts and sponsoring podcasts. They emphasize the importance of building credibility and trust when being a guest on shows, highlighting the potential for exposure to specific audiences.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a guest on podcasts can help reach specific audiences and build credibility, but may not directly lead to high-ticket sales unless the host has a strong background and authority. Sponsoring podcasts can be effective if done right, with a focus on partnering with trustworthy hosts and targeting episodes with high-profile guests for better returns. Negotiating sponsorship deals based on industry averages may not always be the most effective approach; understanding the value of genuine endorsements and partnerships is crucial. While monetizing without a podcast is possible, having your own show can enhance the effectiveness of guesting and sponsoring strategies, providing additional touchpoints for audience engagement and trust-building. BEST MOMENTS "A lot of people like Daniel Priestly will not have their own podcast, but just be a guest on other shows. Doing that is great to get in front of a specific audience." "The return on investment from the few shows I know that do that and do it well, all of their sponsors make a good return." "If being a guest once or sponsoring a show for 10 episodes and it's a good partnership, I feel like that's going to have a better return." "One thing to add as well, just to wrap it up, is both of these things are even more effective if you do have your own podcast."

Understanding nonbinary identity requires an open mind and a willingness to listen and learn. It is our responsibility as allies to educate ourselves, challenge societal norms, and create safe spaces for non-binary individuals to express their true selves. In this episode of Moms for Trans Kids, Dr. Lulu is joined by Alex Vaughan, a nonbinary individual, to discuss all things non-binary. Alex shares their personal journey of self-discovery and explains what it means to be non-binary. They emphasize that being non-binary is a deeply personal feeling and a spiritual experience that challenges societal norms and expectations. Alex also addresses common misconceptions about non-binary individuals and highlights the importance of affirming and supporting gender diverse children. Key Takeaways: Being non-binary means embracing a gender identity that is outside the traditional binary of male and female. Gender expression is how individuals present themselves to the world, while gender identity is how they feel internally. Non-binary individuals may experience fluidity in their gender expression, sometimes leaning more towards femininity or masculinity, or embracing a more neutral presentation. Transitioning for non-binary individuals is a lifelong process of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It is important for parents to support and affirm their gender diverse children, allowing them the freedom to explore and express their authentic selves.

In this episode of the Daron Earlewine podcast, Daron, Julie, and PJ discuss the importance of seeing and knowing others in relationships. They explore the concept of being fully known and truly loved, and how it can liberate us from pretense and self-righteousness. Drawing from the story of Jesus and the woman at the well, they emphasize the need to slow down and truly see people, allowing them to feel known and affirmed. The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of grace in fostering deeper connections with others.   Key Takeaways: Being 'seen' in the context of relationships goes beyond surface acknowledgment and touches on the core desire to be recognized authentically. The fear of being 'known' for who we truly are can be daunting, but it's fundamental to forming meaningful human connections. The scriptural framework provided by Daron offers a spiritual lens through which one can view and approach the need to be seen and known. The notion that deeply knowing someone else begins with a posture of grace, echoing the grace received from God. Quotes: "The purpose of humanity. Is relationships." "God sees us, he knows us, he affirms us, and he blesses us." "Come and see a man who knew all about the things I did and knows me inside and out." "Being seen is something that's just hard, period." "I think that no matter the wound or the pain, I think there's somewhere deep inside of a woman that they want to be known." "To be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It's what we need more than anything." "We have received his grace, so how do we extend it?"

Would you show love to a masked gunman who abducted you and your family? For Jamie Winship, the answer was yes. As he shares the details of this frightening experience, Jamie will inspire you to exchange fear for love as you seek God's true identity for you.    Key Takeaways   Being in your true identity makes you more relational, take risks, and face reality.  The enemy is always in the hypothetical future, but God is in the present.  To identify false identities, ask God, “What are the things I believe about myself that hurt me?” Your true identity in God will be others-focused, self-emptying, and characterized by unconditional love for your enemies.   Jamie Winship   Jamie Winship is known for bringing peaceful solutions to some of the world's highest conflict areas. His work in law enforcement and education led his family around the world, including South Asia and the Middle East. Jamie and his wife, Donna, are co-founders of Identity Exchange and have three adult sons.   Key Quotes   11:26 - "When you watch Jesus, Jesus never runs anywhere. He's never in a hurry. He's never freaked out. He not dramatic. He is intense. Like when He throws over the tables, but it's so tactically smart what He's doing, it's so well thought out. He's not just dramatically reacting to drama. So never participate, the enemy loves drama. The enemy loves drama because drama goes out of control. 15:36 - "You're in constant conflict. Either inside yourself or with people around you. Those are the signs of the false self. It's self-protection. Self-promotion. Separation is a sign of the false self. The false self will always move in separation, never in connection with others. It'll constantly separate out. The soul that sinneth, the soul that separates it will die. It's not about you did a bad thing, God's going to kill you. It's like human beings were made to live in connection with others and God. And when we separate it, it basically destroys us. Those are the symbols, the signs of the false self. But deeper than that, this is the exercise I would suggest is just sit alone with God and just breathe and relax and try and settle down and just say, God, search me right now. And would You help me to be able to say the things that I believe about myself that hurt me? What are the things I believe about myself that hurt me? And and just let them come to your mind."   Links from Today's Conversation   314 | Tackling Fear in a War Zone, Modeling Courage, and Embracing Your True Identity (Jamie Winship: Part 1) Living Fearless: Exchanging the Lies of the World for the Liberating Truth of God by Jamie Winship Identity Exchange: Online Courses, Individual Coaching, and More   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Eric Recker about strategies for optimal thinking. Eric defines "Win the now" as a presence mindset, focusing on current moments instead of past/future. He explains that segmenting days into wins, like patient interactions, to fully engage the present Key Takeaways Being in nature helps reset and ground us. We've lost the ability to sit in quiet and let our brains rest. Constant stimulation affects how we think. Gratitude and anxiety/worry cannot coexist. Focus on gratitude to push back anxiety. Break life into "nows" and focus on winning each now without thinking about the past or future. Time blocking helps productivity by removing distractions. Focus on controlling what you can rather than worrying about uncontrollable change. In this conversation, Eric stressed the prevalence and dangers of burnout. He offered a free email challenge to help recognise and reduce burnout signs. Judith agreed the hybrid work model risks reversing work-life balance gains. Dr Eric Recker is a dentist, husband, father, keynote speaker, Elite Success Coach, author, pilot, mountain climber and recovering triathlete. In his second half of life, he is committed to helping people shorten the distance to becoming their best version and learning to #WintheNow.
