Have you ever thought about collaborating with other brands as part of your business and brand? It's definitely something I've been exploring and today on the podcast, I'm chatting to Phoebe Sherman, who I actually met through working with Adobe. In this episode, Phoebe shares her wealth of experience working with a variety of brands, how it has fitted into her business, and her top tips for finding collaborations, building relationships, and working successfully with brands. If you've been thinking about brand partnerships, or are just curious about how they work, I really hope you enjoy this episode! Key Takeaways Having multiple revenue streams can help your business navigate uncertainty and changes in consumer behaviour. Brand partnerships can be a significant revenue stream and you don't need a million followers or a service-based business to pursue them. Be prepared to pitch to brands, follow up multiple times (initial email and two follow-ups), and don't be afraid to negotiate your rates, especially regarding usage rights for your content. Finding brands to partner with involves understanding your audience, paying attention to the ads you see, and researching who to contact within a company (marketing manager, social media manager, PR email). It's important to align yourself with brands that share your values, but also be aware that this can be complicated and may change over time; trusting your intuition and being willing to say no to opportunities that aren't the right fit is key. Episode Highlights 00:01:07 - Phoebe shares the origin story of Girl Gang Craft and its evolution. 00:05:05 - Discussing the challenges of letting go of aspects of the business that are no longer working. 00:08:46 - Phoebe reveals the significant revenue generated from brand deals and her future goals. 00:12:58 - Practical advice on how to find and pitch to potential brand partners. 00:21:54 - Tips and insights on negotiating fees and understanding usage rights in brand collaborations.

For this episode, Yvonne is joined by former professional rugby player and founder of the nutrition firm Whole Supp, Darren O'Reilly. Darren combined his experience of the positive impact good nutrition has on performance with Dr Brian Carson´s physiology knowledge to create a super easy to prepare supplement that provides great fuel for busy, always on the go people. He and Yvonne discuss his journey, and the role having a North Star and manifestation techniques played in enabling him to stay the course to bring his innovative Whole Supp product to market. They also talk about branding, growth, personal development, and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a North Star drives you forward regardless of what you are aiming for. Pay attention to the details, but don´t let perfectionism get in your way. If you are struggling to perfect something, keep going, you are closer than you think. Don´t waste energy getting upset about people competing with you, there is room for everyone. Own your mistakes. Accept that you have made them and learn from them. Extreme ownership is a habit anyone can build. Keeping in touch with what your product is going to do for your customers is a huge motivator. People have to trust you, to buy from you. The best way to build that trust is to be honest, authentic and most importantly create a highly effective product. You can reach a lot of people via social media, but your message will not resonate unless you already know your customers really well. Meeting your customers face to face is the best way to understand them. Face to face contact moves the needle, it is great for your brand and creates highly effective marketing material. Don´t be too rigid about your business plan. Often, business opportunities you never thought of will turn out to generate the most profit. Create positive habits for yourself. Build them into your day. BEST MOMENTS “So, everything in our product has a meaningful impact on the body.” “Choosing a manufacturer is a really difficult thing. It's almost like dating. You kiss a lot of frogs before you find the right one.” “It´s more important to fail but learn from it, than not try.” “Real connections with real people with real customers moves the needle, and that kind of has a multiplier effect.” “When you open yourself up for criticism, you learn so much.” "If your foundations are strong, your potential is unlimited. We're able to help people with just getting that nutritional foundation when they're busy." “if you're curious enough and humble enough to listen, you're gonna learn a lot.” “Visualising - see it all the time. That actually does pay off.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-o-reilly-b8924724 https://wholesupp.com 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.

Jeannette discusses the importance of achieving financial freedom through the establishment of multiple streams of income. Drawing from her extensive experience as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur, she emphasises the need to diversify income sources to mitigate financial risks and adapt to changing circumstances. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having multiple streams of income is crucial for financial freedom and risk diversification. Relying on a single source of income can be risky, as it leaves you vulnerable to financial instability. Before diversifying your income, it's essential to understand your current financial situation, including income, expenses, and savings. This assessment will help you identify areas for improvement and potential new income streams. Define your short-term, mid-term, and long-term financial goals. Knowing where you want to be financially will guide your decisions on which income streams to pursue. Begin with one main source of income and gradually explore additional opportunities. This could involve side hustles, investments, or expanding your current business offerings. BEST MOMENTS "I am all about helping other people fulfill their dreams, live their best life, do what they really want to do." "When we rely on one sole source of income, there's a potential risk there. You have all your eggs in one basket." "Having multiple streams of income will protect your future, it will give you more choices." "Don't do what I did where I was so focused on the job that I didn't pay as much attention as I should have to alternative options." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Zelia Madigan the founder of Conscious Convert an organic lifestyle brand that creates smart-living homeware essentials. Homeware that is made in a way that cares for the future of our world and the social and health welfare of the makers from sowing-to-sewing. Prior to this, Zelia was the CEO for a large Telecoms & IT company that took her to every corner of the globe, which opened her eyes to the need for change and inspired her to create Conscious Convert. Zelia shares her journey, including the role manifestation has played in helping her to have a real impact. She shares practical ways you can use it to help you to make incremental changes to improve your life and the lives of the others you touch while protecting the planet. The 21-day Manifestation is back sign up here before 2nd January 2025- https://pausepenny.com/product/january-21-day-challenge KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a goal in mind and imagining yourself achieving it is a powerful way to influence your subconscious to spot every opportunity. You have to take action. Often, that means pushing yourself to take a step you may not feel 100% ready for. When someone does something well, take the time to tell them. We all need to offer more encouragement. It lifts people and inspires them. Don´t be so self-critical. Having a purpose is vital. Wanting to give back and do so in a way that protects the planet, and its people is what drove Zelia to found Conscious Convert. When you create products that truly meet the needs of your customers and fits in with their values they are incredibly thankful, which makes you feel amazing. Sometimes good is good enough. If you are a perfectionist you can easily get stuck in a rut. Don´t try to manifest too many things at once. You´ve only got so much space in your head and so much mental energy. If you want to support the planet, make one change a month. Your efforts really add up. Being in a manifesting group is powerful – when you are a bit low the others are there to pull you up. BEST MOMENTS “It´s all about who you're surrounding yourself with .” “Tell them how great they are. Tell them they did a good job, even if it's a little thing, because it makes a huge difference.” “Everything I do, I want to make a difference.” “I do believe you still have to put yourself out there.” “They (the workers) are protected now, not just respected.” “If you're following your passion and purpose … you'll start to connect certain dots in your life.” “That tribe comes when you put yourself out there, when you start following your passion and your purpose and believing in yourself.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://consciousconvert.com https://global-standard.org Sign up for Yvonne´s 21 Day Manifestation Challenge here - https://pausepenny.com/product/january-21-day-challenge 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.

Ceri speaks with polymath Louise Gray, whose creative career spans textiles, fashion, costume, sound, and writing. Louise shares her experiences in fashion, textile design, and education, discussing her bold aesthetic choices, fearless approach to creativity, and commitment to authenticity. Her journey from establishing her own fashion label to teaching at Central Saint Martins, and currently venturing into new creative areas, provides insightful guidance for anyone on their own artistic journey. This discussion explores sustainability, the significance of creative freedom, and the necessity of staying authentic to your own values. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having grown up in rural Scotland, Louise learned to see extreme colours in nature, which later influenced her distinctive colour palette in fashion, combining contrasting hues that both clash and complement She deliberately kept her fashion label small and focused on high-quality, handcrafted pieces rather than bending to industry pressure to make more commercial products or use digital printing Louise views collaboration as essential for creative growth, seeking out artists and creators who challenge her while still maintaining her unique vision and voice Rather than trying to please everyone, Louise focused on creating work that excited her personally, knowing that authenticity would attract the right audience who truly connected with her aesthetic When teaching at Central Saint Martins, Louise rewrote the MA Fashion curriculum to emphasise sustainability and encouraged students to deeply question their identity and values as designers After closing her fashion label, Louise took delivery jobs to fund her creative work, choosing financial freedom over prestige to make art on her own terms She approaches textiles as a feminist practice, seeing it as a way to amplify historically overlooked women's work while pushing boundaries of what textile art can be Louise has learned to separate her sense of self-worth from her creative work, leading to more artistic freedom and joy in the making process BEST MOMENTS "I'm not trying to be you, I'm trying to be me. I'm interested in creating something that I know will talk to other people, because it's interesting." "I've had to really detach my sense of value from my work because I thought that they were the same thing, and since I've detached them, there's so much more lightness to the work that I do." "Joy is about connecting with other people, like true joy is always about other people.” "I'm so grateful that I have chosen a creative path. It is not easy. I didn't need it to be easy. I haven't learned from easy." "I liked making things which had multiple technique fabrics. I wasn't trying to make it accessible to people, I was trying to make the most beautiful things that I could dream of." "Sometimes just saying this is who I am and this is how I want to do it is good." "If you can make work that makes somebody feel something, you've won."

Simon looks at the importance of planning for the future, specifically focusing on setting goals for 2025 and beyond. Drawing on insights from Tony Robbins, he highlights how people often underestimate their potential over a decade while overestimating what can be achieved in a year. The episode outlines two key financial milestones: financial independence and financial freedom, encouraging listeners to define what these mean for them and to create actionable plans to reach their goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a clear plan for 2025 and beyond is crucial for achieving your goals. Without a plan, you risk fitting into someone else's agenda. Aim for financial independence, where you no longer have to work for money, and strive for financial freedom, which allows you to live life without worrying about costs. Success in property investing often requires collaboration. Leverage your network to access knowledge and resources, and consider hiring professionals for tasks that can free up your time. Maintain a pipeline of property deals at various stages to avoid becoming a motivated buyer. This approach allows you to stay focused on finding the best opportunities without getting emotionally attached to any single deal. Break down your larger goals into smaller, actionable steps. For instance, if you aim to acquire four properties in a year, plan to acquire one every three months and outline the necessary actions for each month and week. BEST MOMENTS "Failing to have a plan is like planning to fail. If you don't have a plan of what you want to achieve, ultimately, you'll end up fitting into someone else's plan." "People often overestimate what they can do in 12 months, but massively underestimate what they can do in a decade." "You are not going to be successful on your own. You can't do everything on your own." "If you want to achieve these goals as financial independence or financial freedom, and you're not doing everything on your own, who are the people who you can get to do some tasks for you?" "A big mistake you want to avoid is where investors become what we call motivated buyers. They’re so desperate to do a deal that they try and tweak the numbers to make it work."

This week marks the third and final part of Karen’s mini series on her scent shift programme. This time of year we all make promises to ourselves about how the next twelve months will be different but, as we all know, these promises never last. The reason they never last is that we always fail to create new habits, which are the key to lasting change. Karen is here to help. In this episode, she explains how to use scent to form and sustain positive habits so that 2025 can be the year of change for you in more ways than one. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a positive mindset is great, as is acting on positive emotions, but real change comes about when we change our habits. Karen outlines why and how habits are the key to improvement. Karen breaks down the science of habits, how we form them and how we stick to them, and explains how scent can accelerate and enhance this process. Karen explains the practical steps you need to take in order to link a habit to a scent. Just in case you’re struggling for inspiration, Karen gives you some examples of scents and the habits that they could be linked to. BEST MOMENTS “By linking a specific scent to a specific habit we create a natural cue that helps us move from intention into action.” “Your brain automatically creates neurological shortcuts based on the scents in your life.” “Scent can help you transform your habits from a chore into a natural part of your daily life.” EPISODE LINKS Scent Shift Programme £50 off Coupon Code: SS-EB22 VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.

In this episode, I'm diving into some quick and practical feng shui tips that I love to incorporate around our home. From the symbolism of fruits like pineapples and apples to the energy of animal ornaments, we'll explore how to use everyday objects to enhance the energy in your space.   I'll share insights on how specific fruits—like pomegranates for fertility and pineapples for abundance—can invite positive energy into your home. Plus, we'll talk about the power of fruit bowls, including how certain numbers and types of fruit can bring harmony and vibrancy into your life.   We'll also look at animals and their significance. Whether it's elephants representing family or a horse symbolizing movement, I'll guide you on how to use these items intentionally in your home to align with your desires and intentions.   So, whether you're decorating for fertility, love, abundance, or simply creating a harmonious space, I've got tips and tricks to make it easy, fun, and meaningful. Tune in for some feng shui inspiration and let's explore how the things around us can make a real difference in the energy of our homes! Key Takeaways:    Having fruit on display, like apples or oranges, brings vitality and health into your home. When placing animal figures in your home, ensure they face inward, toward you, to attract good energy. Avoid facing them toward exits or windows, as this could symbolically send the energy out of your space. Singular ornaments, like a lonely figure or an isolated object, can unintentionally reflect a feeling of absence or lack. Be mindful of what these objects represent, and consider pairing them for balance and to reinforce your desires.

Why is having a will so indispensable?  Ken Wise emphasizes the crucial need for organized estate planning to prevent complex legal disputes and ensure clear asset distribution. He discusses the pitfalls of informal wills and the benefits of consulting an attorney for comprehensive guidance. Ken also sheds light on the importance of probate records in genealogy and the preservation of historical records. Key Takeaways Having a legally binding will is crucial to ensure clear asset distribution after death, avoid complex and costly legal disputes, and simplify the probate process for surviving family members. Estate planning and understanding probate laws, especially in community property states like Texas, can prevent familial conflicts and ensure smoother asset transfer post-death. Consulting a lawyer is essential for navigating these complexities. Preserving historical records, including court and probate records, is vital for genealogical research. These records provide valuable information for descendants tracing their ancestry and contribute to communal historical preservation. Integrating technological solutions in legal contexts, such as digitizing court records or funeral home data, presents challenges but is necessary for improving accessibility and preserving historical documents.

Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ash and Kane talk about your first ten podcast episodes in just ten minutes! They share why it's important to record 10 episodes before launch, how to get the right amount of variety in your content, how to choose your first interview and what you need to showcase as a new podcast host in these first 10 episodes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having 6 episodes to launch with means that people will start to listen and stay, from day 1. If you record 10 episodes before launch, you then have the remaining four episodes to keep you ahead of schedule or to create a bank of episodes. You get better the more you record, your episode 10 will sound better than episode 1, so when launching, upload in reverse order so that people are hearing your best episode first. Keep your very first episode more generic for your audience. Include at least one interview in your first 10 episodes, try and showcase some variety. If you have the opportunity to interview your best guest in one of your first episodes, then do it, don't put it off to a later episode. BEST MOMENTS "Release 6 (episodes) on day one, that makes you feel less new" "You'll be so much better in episode 10 than 1, there's probably a bigger difference between episodes 1 and 10 than 10 and 100” “Get at least one interview in” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://omny.fm/shows/the-podcaster-s-podcast/how-to-launch-a-number-1-podcast-part-1https://omny.fm/shows/the-podcaster-s-podcast/046-how-to-launch-a-number-1-podcast-part-2 Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ash and Kane explore the pros, cons, dos, and don'ts of podcast cohosting in this episode. They discuss how having a cohost can enhance content engagement and relieve pressure, but also talk about the things you need to consider before cohosting. They also share the downsides of cohosting and why it isn't just scheduling challenges you may be up against when hosting your podcast alongside someone else! KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a co-host takes the pressure off, it can help make solo content more engaging. You need to build a relationship with someone before being cohosts, to have rapport built already before creating content for your audience Your dedication needs to be aligned as co-hosts for your podcast to be successful and to stop anybody wasting their time (and money!) Scheduling can be more difficult with a cohost, both your diaries have to be taken into account, this can be even more of a challenge when interviewing guests It's worth having some paperwork before you start cohosting, so everyone knows where they stand, particularly if any issues arise further down the line. Creating and hosting a podcast with someone else creates accountability, you can't put off doing content and recording. Hosting alongside someone else makes it easier for you to showcase your personality, creating authenticity and building a better relationship with your audience.  BEST MOMENTS "I think that's what people like about cohosts, it's feeling part of something when the hosts have a relationship” “You might not be making anything but when you are you want to sort that shit out beforehand” “Having roles is quite important” “Cohost interviews annoy me quite often” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Comparing Podcast Production Options | using AI?

Meet Dr. Jason Novetsky - a sports psychology and mental toughness coach for numerous elite athletes. You may know him from his ties to the Chasing Scratch Podcast, but you may not know the breadth and depth of experience he has helping golfers and athletes alike overcome their own obstacles and achieve their personal championships. In this episode, you'll get a front-row seat to the topics and teachings he focuses on when working with some of the top golfers in the world. Specifically, you'll learn more about the importance of creating a golf identity and crafting a golf identity statement, as well as the value of cultivating a neutral mindset. You'll also discover the ultimate goal-setting blueprint, learn the importance of having both values and standards to achieve your goals, and so much more.  Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Use Hypnosis to Shoot Lower Scores: Are you curious to learn how hypnosis can help you shoot lower scores?

More About Dr. Novetsky Dr. Novetsky is the sport psychology and mental toughness coach for numerous collegiate, high school, and club-level teams in various sports across Michigan and the United States. He coaches numerous individual professional, collegiate, and youth athletes in his Birmingham, MI office and virtually to help them achieve their personal championships. Learn more about and work with him here. Key Takeaways: Having a strong set of standards and values helps athletes live and play in the present with a neutral mindset in the face of pressure and adversity. Emotional resilience is fostered by thinking more neutrally, being curious, thinking tactically, and focusing on the smartest next move. Identity statements are short sentences or paragraphs that athletes read daily to align their behavior and choices with the person they want to become. Patience is a common challenge for athletes, especially in a society that values instant gratification. It is important to focus on the process and evaluate oneself based on effort, attitude, preparation, and discipline. Fear of success can stem from the expectations of others and the pressure to consistently perform at a high level. Setting new goals and focusing on growth can help alleviate this fear. A growth mindset is crucial for athletes to continue improving. It involves being open to growth, embracing challenges, and learning from setbacks. Detaching one's identity from their score on the golf course is essential for maintaining a healthy mindset.  Developing a mental workout routine away from the course can greatly improve performance.  Self-evaluation is an important tool for bouncing back from poor performances.  It is important for golfers to separate their golf identity from their personal identity. They should remember that golf is just one aspect of their life and not let their performance on the course define their self-worth. Key Quotes: "Having a strong set of standards and values that you always fall back on helps you to live and play in the present with a neutral mindset in the face of pressure and adversity." "We need to think more neutrally, be curious, think tactically, think effectively, think productively." "Your behavior or your choices or the way you speak to yourself consistent with the person you want to be?" "What are the ingredients and recipe you need to make that plate happen?"

Are you unclear what life might look like after bariatric surgery? Or do you have high expectations that all of your struggles will be cured post-op? In our bariatric support group meetings, we often have people with unclear expectations, or even disappointment when it comes to their post-op results. This week, Dr. Mimi Tan joins us while we talk about the most common unrealistic expectations people have, and how to approach surgery in a realistic way. Dr. Tan explains how she prepares her clients pre-op, and we talk about the fear of failure that some people might experience after surgery. Tune in to learn more about expectations and what life after surgery may look like.  IN THIS EPISODE: [1:29] Dr. Tan introduces herself.  [3:56] What are the most common unrealistic expectations that Dr. Tan sees patients have when it comes to recovery and their life after surgery?  [8:22] Why does Dr. Tan think people go into their survey having unrealistic expectations?  [10:44] What does Dr. Tan think is the most important thing to do as a patient going into surgery? [13:51] How does Dr. Tan set her clients up for success?  [18:44] What is the fear of failure that some people might experience after surgery? [25:10] Dr. Tan talks about regain and insufficient weight loss.  [27:12] What are realistic expectations Dr. Tan talks to her patients about?  [32:46] What is one thing that Dr. Tan wishes listeners and bariatric patients everywhere knew about what life after surgery is like?  KEY TAKEAWAYS: Having open communication with your surgeon is essential for your post op journey. Talking about your wins, but also your struggles to understand what further options there are is so important.  Bariatric surgery is an imperfect tool and it will not fix all of your issues.  Life after bariatric surgery is complicated. Obesity is a lifelong disease and is a lifelong struggle for most people.  Remember that everyone's journey is their own. Comparison is a thief of joy, don't compare your results to someone else's. Comparing yourself to yourself is really the only marker you should use.

For this episode, Clare is once again joined by Katie Sharpe who first appeared on the podcast in Jan 2024 to share her journey from flight attendant to Californian artist. Katie moved to the USA for love and is back today to talk about becoming a mother while living abroad. She explains how waiting for her green card affected the decision to have a baby and how having several cultures at play is influencing the dynamic of her family and new child.   Katie also talks about doctor shopping, the experience of being pregnant in a new country, giving birth, and differences in nursing and maternity leave in the USA. She also covers the cost of daycare and early schooling.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Having to wait a long time to get her green card affected when Katie and her husband started their family. In America, racial identity is talked about far more than in the UK. Katie explains how this has resulted in some surprising and tricky conversations she was not expecting to have. Katie´s experience of being pregnant and giving birth in the USA was largely good. Being honest with each other and talking through things has helped Katie and her husband Andre to get through some tough situations. Maternity leave in the USA varies from state to state. Realising that your child won´t get to spend much time with one side of their family is hard. But there are ways to stay close, which Katie shares in the episode.       BEST MOMENTS ‘My legal status was kind of up in the air. ´ ‘I´ve always felt very much a part of the family.' ‘If you're looking for the positive, you end up in such a stronger relationship.' ‘I don´t necessarily feel the need for all of this stuff.'     EPISODE RESOURCES Earlier episode with Katie Sharpe - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/from-flight-attendant-to-artist-in-california-usa-katie/id1724940782?i=1000641095453     ABOUT THE HOST – CLARE KAY   Clare has moved countries many times throughout her life, from China to Taiwan, Nigeria, Zambia, and the USA.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tom Dunlap discuss:Letting go of the old things to promote the new things. The power in relinquishing control. The two paths to scaling. Finding the right fit for your team, clients, and fees.  Key Takeaways:Having your name on the door makes you the lightning rod for problems. It is not as big of a benefit as most lawyers think. If viable for your firm, consider bringing in non-lawyer team members who can help with the non-legal aspects of running a firm. You have to find the right fit clients in the right stage in the right scope. If some people don't say ‘no' to your fees, you're charging way too little.  "You went to law school to be a lawyer. The highest and best use of your time is the billable hour and getting clients and keeping them happy. If you want to manage a law firm, you should have professionals who work for you doing it." —  Tom Dunlap Find out more about the 10 Easy-to-Execute Hacks to Unlock Your Full Potential at: https://fretzin.com/events Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: The Snowball System: How to Win More Business and Turn Clients into Raving Fans by Mo Bunnell About Tom Dunlap: Tom is the managing partner of a law firm he does not run and is the better for it.

Welcome to part one of this special three-episode series airing this week, where we delve into the transformative power of embracing a project-based approach to life. Join our host, Michelle Pellizzon, as we explore the advantages of cultivating multiple interests and projects for personal growth, creativity, resilience, and overall life satisfaction. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Having a bunch of different projects and interests instead of just being obsessed with one "big thing" keeps life interesting and makes you more motivated, creative, and resilient. Engaging in various projects can improve skills and competencies through exposure to different learning experiences and challenges. Not stressing about how every project turns out reduces stress, pressure, and disappointment from potential failures. Balancing your attention across various projects allows for a more well-rounded and fulfilling life. Creating systems for managing multiple projects helps you accomplish multiple projects and ideas instead of getting distracted or overwhelmed.

"Having a dream is not selfish, but rather a reflection of the unique gifts and talents bestowed upon us by God." ~Tami Imlay   Hey Hey! I have a great episode for you today! We are talking about when “reality checks” are not rooted in the right reality. I explore the concept of reality checks that often hinder individuals from pursuing their dreams and purpose. I want to emphasize that having a dream is not selfish but rather a reflection of the unique gifts and talents bestowed upon us by God. By following these dreams, not only do we find personal fulfillment, but we also have the opportunity to positively impact and serve others. The episode highlights the importance of silencing external noise and distractions in order to hear God's voice and guidance clearly. I want to caution against common pitfalls such as the constant need for more information, imposter syndrome, and the fear of not measuring up to societal standards. They also acknowledge the challenges of facing skepticism and lack of support from others and instead, find counsel from those grounded in spiritual truth. This episode encourages proactive steps towards uncovering and living out one's purpose, emphasizing the significance of embracing discomfort and taking leaps of faith into the unknown. Ultimately, the core message underscores the importance of aligning with God's plan and purpose, as it leads to personal fulfillment and the ability to make a meaningful impact in the world.

Key Takeaways: Having a robust treasury function in your business can be critical for sustainability and growth, especially in a fluctuating economy. Businesses should ideally maintain at least three to six months of operating expenses in cash as a buffer against market challenges. Investment in assets like real estate or conservative stock portfolios can help businesses outpace inflation and build wealth over time. The depreciating currency rate poses unique challenges for American small businesses, highlighting the need for strategic financial planning. Long-term thinking and planning can position a business to capitalize on opportunities when market conditions cause competitors to falter.

Key Takeaways:Having maximum structure and maximum flow allows individuals to work to their highest advantage, rather than sacrificing one for the other.Individuals can fall into one of three categories: high structure, low flow; high flow, low structure; or high structure, high flow, where the ideal balance is found in the "influential third."Create a foundation for the day through a consistent morning routine or Sunday planning. This structure allows for greater openness to unexpected creativity and flow. It's also important to take a day or week off to unplug and recharge. Hustle and constant productivity are not sustainable. Embrace structure and accountability to maintain passion and creativity while also acknowledging the importance of individual choice and autonomy.  “Ideally, what we would love to have is a high flow, high structure. When we're this way, we get maximum productivity and creativity, you get the best of both worlds, which you're absolutely allowed to have. Remember, you don't have to choose between one or the other.” “Pushing and driving is not sustainable. Grace, flow, and ease are sustainable. Creating that grace and ease sometimes requires powering down.” “When we're out of balance, we tend to either save the bridge and burn the relationship or burn the bridge and save the relationship. Those are the two extremes of structure and flow. But we can have the bridge and the relationship, I swear it is possible.”- Maryanne Dersch  Ask for and receive all you want need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Doug Bradley discuss:Understanding the numbers around marketing. Bootstrap marketing on a limited budget. Laying the groundwork for solid website optimization. Setting expectations and calls to action.  Key Takeaways:Having your own book of business gives you power and freedom. Be willing to try and test out options. There is data out there for search terms but you need to know what you're trying to accomplish. What might not be the right marketing fit for you right now, could be good later down the line. Don't discount something permanently just because it's not right now. When working with a marketing professional, make sure they have experience working with others in the area of practice that you are in.  "I would not dismiss completely the option of creating a very basic website and linking to it from your social media channels and your directory profiles.

Former big leaguer Brandon Barnes shares his baseball journey, from playing multiple sports in high school to transitioning to baseball in college. He discusses the challenges he faced and the mindset that drove him to succeed. Brandon emphasizes the importance of mental development and the need for a competitive mindset in youth sports. The conversation explores the importance of winning and achieving success in sports, the need to understand the numbers and have a plan B, the identity crisis that athletes face after their sports career ends, and the importance of preparing for life after sports. It also discusses the impact of Athlete Narrative in helping athletes build their personal brand and transition to a new career. The conversation concludes with the announcement of the official launch of Athlete Narrative and the anticipation of future partnerships.   Key Takeaways Having a strong work ethic and a mindset of continuous improvement is crucial for success in sports and life. The mental aspect of the game is often overlooked but is a key differentiator at higher levels of competition. Parents and coaches should focus on teaching young athletes the mental skills needed to handle failure and develop a competitive mindset. Youth sports should prioritize the enjoyment of the game and the development of skills, rather than winning championships and trophies. Winning and achieving success in sports is important, but it's crucial to understand that sports careers are temporary and have a plan B for life after sports. Athletes often face an identity crisis when their sports career ends, and it's important to have a sense of self beyond being an athlete. Preparing for life after sports should be a priority, and athletes should explore other interests and develop skills outside of their sport. Athlete Narrative provides a platform for athletes to build their personal brand, monetize their name, image, and likeness, and transition to a new career. Building a personal brand is essential for athletes, and sharing aspects of their life beyond sports can help engage their fans and followers.   Connect With Brandon- Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/brandonbarnes_1?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Connect with Shawn- Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/theshawnfrench/ Join Athlete Narrative with 10% OFF- https://ambassador.athletenarrative.com/shawn-french-join

Schools are the hub of a community. In our present era, understanding the holistic well-being of students, from academic to personal struggles, becomes paramount. However, the disconnect between parents, students, and schools is a widespread issue that impedes this whole-child growth. This disconnection often arises from a lack of understanding about the challenges students face, particularly regarding family issues and mental health concerns.   To address this disconnection, we must adopt a whole-child approach that goes beyond academic achievements, believes that education should focus on the social, emotional, and psychological aspects of students' lives, and recognizes that a student's overall well-being is intertwined with their academic success. Hence, as we navigate the complexities of the educational landscape, the whole-child approach serves as a guiding principle, urging educators, parents, and schools to embrace a more comprehensive perspective. By acknowledging the needs of students, we pave the way for an educational experience that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures emotional intelligence, resilience, and a profound sense of connection among parents, students, and schools.   In this episode, we want to help listeners gain a deeper understanding of the challenges students face when dealing with family issues and mental health concerns and also to explore ways on how we can bridge the gap between parents, students, and schools. To equip our audience with practical strategies in supporting students facing adversity at home, we empower educators and parents through a role-play scenario on how effective communication helps students overcome challenges. Join us in this episode as we navigate the complexities of student well-being, learn the importance of validating students' experiences, fostering open communication, and the significance of maintaining a balance between home and school dynamics. Tune in today as we embark on this enlightening exploration, providing valuable insights and empowering knowledge.   Today, we're joined by Kate Estefan, a current school counselor with 20 years of experience in public education. Mission-driven and whole-child-centered, Kate is committed to building a positive school climate and culture for students to achieve academically, socially, and emotionally. Through her tenure in this profession, Kate has provided individual and small group counseling, developed a counseling curriculum, led crisis management teams, advised student leadership groups, and has been involved in the implementation of MTSS and SEL content delivery.

Mobility has a massive impact on our health and performance and are unique challenges across the spectrum from extremely mobile and stiffer and less flexible. If you're someone who prides themselves on their flexibility, Dr. Fix reveals that having a lot of range of motion can actually lead to stability issues. He explains how those who are extremely mobile often need to focus on strengthening the smaller stabilizer muscles to maintain control and prevent injuries. On the other hand, if you've always been on the stiffer side, Dr. Fix discusses the importance of working on true mobility and finding ways to increase range of motion while also building strength and stability. This episode offers valuable insights into the balance between flexibility and stability, and how it can impact your overall health and wellness. Dr. Fix shares practical strategies and exercises to help you optimize your mobility and prevent injuries. So, whether you're a yoga enthusiast or a sprinter, this episode will provide you with the knowledge and tools to enhance your performance and take your health to the next level.   Key Takeaways: • Having a lot of mobility and flexibility can lead to challenges in stability and control. • People who are very mobile may need to focus on strengthening the smaller stabilizer muscles to maintain control during movements. • Those who are stiffer may need to work on mobility and range of motion, and then strengthen the muscles in those positions to maintain flexibility. • Both mobility and stiffness come with their own set of challenges and predispose individuals to different types of activities. • It is important to individualize treatment and exercise plans based on an individual's specific needs and challenges.   Quotes: • "Because you have so much range of motion, you're so flexible, you're so mobile, most of your challenges or the issues that arise in your body come from needing more stability." (:01:54 | Dr. Andrew Fix) • "If you lack range of motion, say that you have tight hip flexors or your hips are stiff, and you do things such as stretching, such as banded joint mobilizations, such as seeing the chiropractor or the physical therapist, getting hip adjustments and manipulations, and your hip starts to loosen up, you now have to layer in the strength in the newfound range of motion that you have." (10:12 | Dr. Andrew Fix) • "If you don't use it, you lose it, right? It's plain and simple as that. If you gain motion and you don't use it, you don't get strong in it, you will lose it." (10:54 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  • "Almost always a weak muscle is a tight muscle." (07:55 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  • "If you're super mobile and have a lot of range of motion and you don't work on stability, your body is going to be used to hanging on its joints."

Today, my guest is Amber Saunders. Amber is an attorney with her own firm, The Saunders Firm in Atlanta, Georgia. She started out, like many of us, thinking she was going to do one type of law, then ended up doing something completely different - now focusing primarily on estate planning and business law in the Atlanta area. We talk about that journey, and the intersection between those two practice areas. Amber is very candid about the mistakes that she made and the hurdles she had to overcome, and how almost all of them were centered around her, and I think that's a lesson that we can all learn a great deal from.In this episode, Neil and Amber discuss:Different workplace models for law firms. The relationship between estate planning and succession planning. Learning to be a good employer.Setting expectations, building SOPs, and properly communicating with your team. Key Takeaways:Having a will and your documents in place well before you pass will make things so much easier for your family and organization after you pass. Procrastination is one of the biggest challenges facing estate planning attorneys - everybody thinks they're going to have more time. Learning to lead a business is a practice - you have to learn to be a good employer in order to attract and retain good employees. Being a solo firm lawyer, you are still a business. You need to pay attention to the reports and other financials. It is a business that needs to be monitored. "I screwed up a lot. I went to therapy and realized, we can't be everyone else. And until I grow, my business won't grow.

Imagine doubling your website traffic just a few months after buying it. It might sound so simple, but the truth is, it requires a strategic approach.  Once more, I have invited Ryan Condie to share his expert advice for acquiring a business and growing its traffic. Ryan Condie's primary focus revolves around the acquisition, expansion, and retention of online businesses. With a track record of establishing 8 businesses—of which 2 flourished and 6 encountered setbacks—his experience highlights the dynamic nature of entrepreneurship.

Ryan believes that a partner who brings diverse strengths enhances confidence in addressing growth opportunities and business weaknesses.    ➥ What matters most to Ryan in partnerships is the ability of his partner to accomplish tasks. Time invested is less important than the partner's capability to achieve the desired outcomes, fostering mutual trust and confidence in each other's contributions.   ➥ In a successful partnership, Ryan emphasizes the importance of upfront conversations to define roles and responsibilities, using a structured approach to outline tasks and expectations before committing to a business venture. That's because partners who share similar goals, regardless of age, tend to collaborate more effectively.  About The Guest Ryan Condie focuses on acquiring, growing, and holding online businesses for the long term.

Community really helps breed accountability. And when we're accountable to ourselves and to other people, it helps us continue to move the needle forward.    Stepping away from his usual setting at PhysioRoom, Denver's hub for performance-based rehab, Dr. Fix recaps a two-day conference he recently attended with his team. This event brought together over 200 healthcare professionals, each with their own stories and experiences from their practices. These weren't just presentations and Q&As; they were intimate exchanges, moments of "I've been there," and collective brainstorming sessions to support one another.   What resonated most with Dr. Fix was the simple power of being surrounded by peers who understand the journey. This collective spirit provided a sense of contributing value to peers by sharing your own experiences, of solidarity in shared challenges and a celebration of progress and successes. It was a reminder that there's strength in numbers and that there's value in both tackling challenges and celebrating successes together.   Dr. Fix's takeaway for listeners is straightforward: Seek out your community. Be it a dedicated fitness group, a professional network, or even a hobby club — these are the spaces where support, motivation, and accountability naturally thrive.   Key Takeaways: • Having a community of like-minded people can provide accountability and support in various aspects of life, including fitness, mental health, and personal development. • Being around a group of people who are going through similar struggles can help individuals realize that they are not alone and that it is okay to ask for help. • Celebrating wins along the way is important, as it helps to motivate and encourage continued progress. • Being part of a community allows for the exchange of ideas and the opportunity to learn from others' experiences and successes.   Quotes: "Sometimes it just takes being around those people and having a community and talking to other people that are dealing with the same stuff to help you realize that, to help you realize that you're not alone, that you're not the only one that's having a hard time with things." (05:01 | Dr. Andrew Fix) "You need to find a community. You need to have a community, something that you're a part of, some group that you're a part of, that can help hold you accountable." (08:39 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  "Try to find your community. And how can you invest more into that and into those people? And just see where those relationships go, see what that flourishes into and see how by you being part of that community you end up really working on yourself and working on self-development and self-progression."
