Podcasts about knowing your worth

Back-to-school season is here, and Jill, Melissa, and Kelly are diving into the chaos, memories, and everything that comes with getting kids back on a schedule! They debate the pros and cons of keeping kids busy—does a packed schedule keep them off their phones and out of trouble, or can it sometimes be too much?They also take a trip down memory lane talking about the toys their kids grew up with and why LEGO has become such a huge obsession for kids and adults. Jill is still holding a grudge against Erno and refuses to talk to him, even though he's trying to make peace. Plus, they share advice for those moments when you—or someone else—makes you feel like you're not smart enough. Kelly opens up about having a slight learning disability her whole life and reminds everyone that learning differently doesn't mean you aren't smart—you're just smart in different ways.Have a question for the moms?

The world constantly tells us that our value depends on what we produce, how much we earn, or how we look. In this message, Pastor Craig Turnbull explores the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value from Matthew 13 to reveal a different truth. Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God is a priceless treasure, and he gave up everything to purchase us as his prized possession.How does understanding your infinite worth to God change the way you face daily struggles and define your success? Watch this video to discover how to stop counting the cost of following Jesus and start living with true joy.

Someone offers to buy Michael Mojo lunch so they can "pick his brain." He says no. And the reason why is the whole episode. It's got nothing to do with being busy, and everything to do with something most people never stop to measure. Michael calls it money follows value, a rule running quietly underneath every deal, every relationship, every favour you've ever done. And most ambitious people have it completely backwards. They think it's about hustle. Hours. Who you know. It's not. Once Michael explains what's actually being traded in every interaction you have, you'll start seeing it everywhere, especially the exchanges that have been quietly costing you for years. He gets into why the way most people network is a waste of time, the quiet thing that turns good relationships into resentment, and the uncomfortable reason he won't spend his time around certain people, no matter how badly they want to be in the room. If you've ever felt like you give and give and it never comes back around, this one will land. You won't protect your time the same way again. In this episode: Money follows value, the rule almost every ambitious person gets backwards Networking, and why most of the way people do it is a waste of time Value exchange, what's really being traded in every interaction you have What Michael's actually saying no to when he turns down "can I pick your brain?" The quiet shift that turns a good relationship into resentment Self-worth and validation, the trap that keeps high earners feeling empty no matter what they buy Knowing your worth, the line between "survival and wants" and living by a completely different standard Official channel and episode of the Winning Standards Podcast hosted by Michael Mojo.

Katrina Volker, Vice President of Professional Relationships at OurFamilyWizard, joins The Power of the Ask to talk about what it takes to advocate for yourself, build trusted relationships, and create opportunities for long-term career growth. Drawing from her journey from an administrative role to executive leadership, Katrina shares how asking for the job, the promotion, and the compensation she deserved helped shape her career. Katrina, Lisa, and Precious cover: Asking for the Opportunity: Katrina shares how asking to be considered for a full-time role helped her pay for college and opened the door to future leadership opportunities. Knowing Your Worth: When Katrina received an offer to join OurFamilyWizard, she made a bold counteroffer based on the experience and value she brought to the role. The experience reinforced the importance of doing your research and confidently advocating for yourself. Building Trust Before the Ask: Katrina explains why the strongest professional relationships are built over time through listening, showing up, helping others, and earning the trust that makes people want to say yes. Growing Within an Organization: Rather than waiting for a new title, Katrina asked to take part in high-impact projects, collaborate across departments, and assume greater responsibility. Those opportunities helped her grow into an executive leadership role. Creating Structure During Divorce: As a child of divorce and a leader at OurFamilyWizard, Katrina discusses how structure, documentation, and thoughtful communication can help families make better financial and parenting decisions during an emotionally difficult time. Why Women Must Keep Asking: Katrina reminds listeners that women need to know their value, advocate for themselves, and ask for help when they need it.

A tribute to my Mother, Geneva Sherman SizemoreThis episode is unlike any other episode of Real Talk With Reginald D.My mother had been battling serious health issues for the past three months. During that time, she prepared her own obituary and funeral program and personally asked me to deliver her eulogy. After the passing of my beloved mother, Geneva Sherman Sizemore, I had the honor of sharing her life story and legacy at her funeral on June 27, 2026—just one week before what would have been her 75th birthday. What began as a tribute to one extraordinary woman became a powerful motivational and inspirational message that moved everyone in attendance and inspired countless people to reflect on their own lives, faith, purpose, and legacy.Rather than simply mourning her passing, I chose to celebrate her life defined by faith, perseverance, courage, resilience, sacrifice, servant leadership, motherhood, and unwavering trust in God.Raised as a single mother of two, my mother refused to allow hardship, rejection, financial struggles, anxiety, or disappointment to define her future. She worked multiple jobs, graduated from college with honors, became a gifted church musician, mentored countless single mothers, purchased her first home through unwavering faith after being denied by her own bank, and later reunited with the love of her life in a beautiful story of redemption and restoration.Throughout this emotional and deeply motivational speech, I share timeless life lessons my mother taught me, including:Know your worth and never allow anyone to devalue you.Keep your faith during life's darkest moments.Don't allow rejection to define your future.Choose courage over fear.Build your legacy through service to others.Never stop believing God has a greater plan.Raise your children with love, communication, and integrity.Trust God even when you cannot see the outcome.Keep moving forward through hardship.Live a life that leaves an eternal impact.This is more than a eulogy, this episode is an inspiring motivational and inspirational story about overcoming adversity, choosing faith over fear, discovering purpose through pain, and building a legacy that lives far beyond this life. A tribute not only to one remarkable mother—but to every parent, caregiver, mentor, and person striving to leave the world better than they found it.Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, raising children, rebuilding after hardship, or searching for hope, I would like to remind you that a life lived with faith, love, and purpose is never forgotten and that t true success isn't measured by what you own—it's measured by the lives you touch.My mother's life demonstrates that you don't need fame, wealth, or status to leave an extraordinary legacy. Through faith, perseverance, sacrifice, service, and unconditional love, she impacted generations and continues to inspire people even after her passing.What You Will Gain:Powerful motivational and inspirational life lessons about overcoming hardship, trusting God during difficult seasons, knowing your worth, and building a meaningful legacy through faith and perseverance.Self-improvement and educational principles that strengthen resilience, family relationships, leadership, communication, personal growth, and the courage to keep moving forward despite life's challenges.Faith and motivation insights that encourage listeners to trust God's timing, live with purpose, inspire future generations, and understand that a life of service leaves an eternal impact.Press play now to experience my heartfelt motivational and inspirational tribute and discover timeless lessons about faith, resilience, purpose, and the kind of legacy every person has the opportunity to leave behind.Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor daily motivation and inspiration, subscribe and follow Real Talk With Reginald D on social media:Instagram: realtalkwithreginaldd   TikTok: @realtalkregd  Youtube: @realtalkwithreginald  Website:  https://www.realtalkwithreginaldd.com Real Talk With Reginald D  -  MerchandiseReal Talk With Reginald D is a faith-based globally ranked inspirational and motivational podcast designed to motivate, empower & transform lives through powerful motivational speeches, authentic conversations, and real-life inspirational stories.

Verticals, Unions, and AI: The Wild West of New Filmmaking | Get Reelisms Ep. 190 In episode 190 of the Get Reelisms podcast, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen talk about Christine's desert trip to see a meteor shower, her deliberate hiatus from AD work to regain creative peace, and her return to making fast, low-budget sketch comedy—especially vertical YouTube/Instagram sketches—through groups like Banana TV and a 10-episode series with her friend Myleene about friends whose hangouts always turn into film work. They discuss the rise of union and branded verticals, why creators are embracing the format as a new storytelling medium, and how to improve quality through writing and framing. The conversation covers intense vertical set workflows, block shooting and child actor restrictions, the push-pull between budgets and union standards, concerns about AI replacing art versus using AI as a logistics tool, and worries about declining literacy from students using ChatGPT. They close with GetReelisms.com plugs and tease the next guest from Puppy Love Productions.  Hosts: Adam Rani (@adamthechase)  & Christine Chen (@cchenmtf)  About Christine W Chen: Christine W.

In this episode of Fashion Love Stories, we explore the art of acknowledging ourselves — our achievements, our resilience, our growth, and the distance we have traveled, often without applause.Why are we so willing to celebrate others, yet so hesitant to recognize our own strength?We speak about criticism, self-knowledge, and the moment we realize that external approval is no longer the measure of our worth. Not every opinion deserves a seat at our table, and not every judgment deserves our attention.This is a conversation about momentum, gratitude, boundaries, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are.Because there comes an age when criticism no longer competes with self-knowledge.And perhaps the most elegant form of self-respect is this:I do not need to win the approval of those who have never carried my burdens or built what I have built.CONTINUE THE FASHION LOVE STORIES JOURNEY:Threads — @susannagalanis⁠Instagram — @susannagalanis⁠Substack — @susannagalanis⁠TikTok — @susannagalanis.editor⁠Facebook — Susanna Galanis NYC⁠Spotify — Fashion Love Stories⁠

What if the biggest negotiation you'll ever have is the one you have with yourself? Bestselling author, TEDx speaker, University of Oklahoma professor, and negotiation expert Dr. Meg Myers Morgan shares how self-worth influences every area of our lives, from our careers and relationships to the opportunities we're willing to pursue. She reflects on the unexpected path that led from a TEDx talk to bestselling books, keynote stages, and a career helping others recognize their value and ask for what they deserve. The conversation also explores the realities of motherhood, postpartum depression, the pressure many women place on themselves, and how those experiences shaped both her writing and her purpose. Meg explains why negotiation is about far more than money. It's about understanding your worth, having the courage to ask for more, and building a life that aligns with your values. Through honest stories, practical insights, and plenty of humor, this episode is a reminder that the life you want often begins with believing you're worthy of it.

It's double trouble this week as Rosie is joined by comedian, writer and all-round icon Rosie Jones to talk about coming out, challenging stereotypes, and what it really means to live life as a proud “professional gay”

#336: In this week's installment of The Business of You series, I'm sitting down with Alex Hill — recipe developer, community builder, and the woman behind Just Add Hot Sauce — to talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself as a solopreneur and what it truly means to stop letting people play in your face, including yourself.This conversation is about the moment before the leap. The panic attack that becomes the pivot. The $25K savings goal.

Over $2 BILLION of deals have crossed Dana Jacoby's desk since selling her first company, and today her strongest mission is making sure other women own the full value of what they bring to the table. (And we're honored she's been an incredible advisor to many of us within The Trust.) After learning the business fundamentals at Enterprise Rent-a-Car, a serendipitous meeting led her into the pharmaceutical and medical device world, where she built a rewarding and lucrative career. After experiencing several mergers and acquisitions herself, she realized she'd had more valuable counsel during those times. In this candid conversation, Dana reflects on the deals that shaped her, the lessons learned from undervaluing herself early on, and how those experiences now fuel her work advising women navigating high-stakes decisions.In this episode of REWARD: The Podcast of The Trust, founder Ali Brown sits down with Dana for an honest discussion about leadership, leverage, and the power of being in rooms where women tell the truth. On this episode of the #REWARDPodcast, you'll hear:Why a high-value community isn't just “nice to have” at higher levels — it's essentialHow Dana's dual exposure to healthcare and business shaped her entrepreneurial instincts early onThe realities of building a consulting company from the ground up — and what limited resources can actually teach youHard-earned lessons around knowing your value (and what happens when you don't)Why powerful women need safe, strategic spaces to think clearly and support one anotherDana's perspective on authentic connection as a catalyst for better decisions and long-term growthThis is a conversation for women who are done playing small — and ready to lead, negotiate, and choose from a place of clarity and confidence.And, learn more about The Trust and Dana! Learn more about The Trust – our tight-knit community for 7+8-figure women entrepreneurs Learn more about Dana's consulting practice, Vector Medical GroupFollow Dana on Instagram + LinkedInConnect with us on social using the hashtag #RewardPodcast and share your key takeaways from this episode!

What happens when you know your value—but say a lower number anyway? In this episode of My Favorite Mistake, Mark Graban is joined by Amy Rasdal, founder of Billable at the Beach and author of Land a Consulting Project Now. Amy shares her favorite mistake from the early days of consulting: undercharging for her work because of fear, even when she knew she was worth more. Amy explains how that moment became a “gateway mistake,” leading her to better understand pricing, confidence, and the hidden beliefs that hold many accomplished professionals back. The conversation explores why undercharging is so common, how fear shows up in pricing conversations, and why selling out your time at a discount can quietly limit long-term success. This episode is especially relevant for consultants, freelancers, and professionals considering a move from corporate life into independent work.

So many high-achieving women are stuck on the hamster wheel of checking the boxes and doing it all. We're conditioned to believe the next strategy or accomplishment will somehow lead us to our worth, and even though this may give us a sense of certainty and control, that doesn't mean this behavior is truly serving us.Today, I'm joined by Dr. LaChelle Wieme, speaker, author, and host of The Spiral Up Podcast. LaChelle shares her story of going from chasing degrees and titles to realizing she was caught in a race for achievement, using success as a way to prove her worth. She introduces the idea of “the and life”: the possibility of feeling challenged and fulfilled, while also being present and connected. This episode is an invitation to see that mastering your life isn't just about changing your situation—it's about paying attention to what's happening underneath the surface. Without shifting our internal patterns first, we often experience the same stress and burnout, even in a new environment.We explore why strategy alone isn't the issue, and how nervous system regulation is essential for sustainable change. LaChelle explains how a balance of masculine and feminine energy allows us to both access inner guidance and take aligned action. You'll also hear how, through heart-brain coherence, we create safety, clarity, and access to intuition so we can make decisions from a grounded place rather than pushing through overwhelm.Life isn't happening to you—it's happening for you. When you trust yourself, your discernment, and the guidance available to you, you stop giving your power away to external outcomes and learn to feel safe within your body. From that place, you can stop chasing worth and start creating a life that includes more clarity, ease, and fulfillment. Let's dive in!What you'll learn:How unexamined toxic thought patterns and subconscious conditioning quietly shape your decisionsWhy sacrificing yourself for long-term gain doesn't work if the underlying patterns driving your behavior haven't been healedHow a balance of masculine and feminine energy combines execution and follow-through with inner guidanceWhat it looks like to stop forcing outcomes and allow guidance to move you forward without burnoutWhy slowing down to ask “what's the right next step for me?” can be more powerful than following strategies out of obligationYou can read the full show notes here.About Dr. LaChelle WiemeDr. LaChelle Wieme is passionate about helping people unlock their full potential.

In this episode of The Untrapped Podcast, Keith gets blunt about breaking plateaus in your landscaping business. Stuck doing the same $300 jobs and wondering why nothing changes? Keith shares how he raised prices, lost the wrong clients, and rebuilt around higher-ticket, white-glove packages—think bundling gutters, shrub trims, bed edging, windows, and lawn care into one profitable day. He digs into math-first pricing, route density, and incremental increases (small for existing clients, bigger for new) so your average ticket and net margin finally move. No victim mindset, no busywork trophies—just a hard "cross the Rubicon" moment: choose ownership, package value, market smarter in targeted neighborhoods, and aim for profit per day (not hours worked). If you're ready to stop playing small and start stacking real wins, this one's your wake-up call.     "When the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing — that's when you change." – Keith Kalfas   Topics Covered: The real definition of insanity in business Why raising prices feels scary (but necessary) The "higher-ticket jobs" breakthrough The power of packaged services Route density, travel time, and profit killers When staying the same becomes more painful than changing Victim mindset vs. ownership Why entertainment-driven content makes growth harder   Key Takeaways Raise Prices—Incrementally and IntentionallyBump existing clients in small steps, quote new clients higher. Confidence + consistency = better margins without a mass exodus. Chase Average Ticket, Not Hours Design your pricing around profit per day. Bigger tickets + fewer trips = cleaner math and calmer schedule. Tighten Your Route, Grow Your Wallet Route density kills dead time. Shorter drives, less fuel, more jobs done—that's real margin.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

This week we're discussing Knowing Your Worth Even When You're Broken  Many single parents carry old stories that say you will never measure up. Those messages show up as shame from past failures, comparison to intact families, and a drive to perform or please. Left unchallenged, they shape how you parent, relate, and see yourself. In this episode, Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT), joins Robert and Elizabeth to unpack the distorted "cracked mirrors" we often look into, and how to start seeing ourselves through the truth of our worth. Today, we cover three main points: Cracked mirrors that distort worth Shifting perspective to a truer source Stepping into everyday worth Your worth is not a prize you earn. It is a reality you return to. When old stories shout, treat them as cracked mirrors, not final verdicts. Choose one simple practice today that moves you toward truth, like writing down a moment you showed up with honesty or tenderness. Share it with a safe person. Small, repeated choices will reshape your reflection over time, and the life you are building from worth will feel more grounded, more connected, and more you.

These are the premier business owner strategies and successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a boss, a VO BOSS. Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza. 01:04 - Anne (Host) Hey, hey everyone. Welcome to the VO BOSS Podcast and the Boss Money Talk Series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, and I am here again with the lovely Danielle Famble. Hey. 01:15 - Danielle (Guest) Anne, so happy to be back. How are you? 01:18 - Anne (Host) Oh, I'm doing good, Danielle. What are we talking about this morning? I have no clue. 01:24 - Danielle (Guest) Honestly, same. I really have no clue, but we look good and we are here to talk about money, so we can figure it out. 01:32 - Anne (Host) There we go. Well, you know, it's so interesting because if I don't schedule it in my calendar, right, it just, at this point, my calendar, I live by my calendar. I know I've mentioned that to you before, like, literally hourly. I schedule my time hourly, and it's funny because sometimes I have my students that want to get in coaching sessions with me and they get frustrated because my schedule is booked up, but if I don't put it on my schedule, like, it just doesn't get done. 01:57 And interestingly enough, my schedule has a lot to do with the hours I work and the amount of money I make per hour, and I think that it's so important because I can only schedule my coaching services for a certain amount of time a week. 02:12 - Danielle (Guest) Right. 02:12 - Anne (Host) Because at other times, I have to make sure I'm allocating that to my other income streams, right, and so I think it's always important to know, as a voice talent and as a business owner, what is your time worth per hour? Like, what is your hourly rate? How much money are you making per hour? Because that can tell you like, oh, I should spend a certain amount of time coaching and a certain amount doing voiceover, hopefully, because that's the value that we don't know. Like, that's not standard, we can't depend on that. There we go. 02:39 - Danielle (Guest) When you know, like, your hourly rate, like what you're charging for, what you're bringing in, then you actually can figure out how you can grow it. So maybe you grow it by increasing your rate, or maybe you grow it by shifting your focus in those higher hourly buckets. So if it's a different genre or things that you're doing, maybe your day job pays you more per hour than a particular side hustle that you have. 03:02 - Anne (Host) Oh, good point, yeah. 03:02 - Danielle (Guest) You know how to spend your time. I am also very guilty of being the person who always needs to look at my calendar to figure out what I'm doing, because if it is not on my calendar, it's probably not getting done and probably got lost somewhere in the shuffle. But yeah, I mean, knowing how much your time is worth and how much you should be getting paid for working an hour is so helpful to be able to financially plan for what it is that you're wanting to do and how much money you're trying to bring in. 03:33 - Anne (Host) Yeah, and as we entered into this podcast, going, hmm, what are we going to talk about? Had I not scheduled that time into deciding? Here's my schedule, right? So I need to schedule time to prepare my schedule, or to prepare, like, the topics we're talking about. Luckily, though, Danielle, you're just so easy to talk to. We can figure it out on the fly. 03:50 We can just spin off on, yeah, which is really good. But yeah, I found that it's so important. What are your highest paying income streams? Right, and so for me, voiceover, right, voiceover, depending, but what type of voiceover, right, exactly, it can be genre specific. 04:04 So that would be like voiceover commercial, right, it's the shortest amount of time that pays the highest. Next in line voiceover wise might be medical narration, right, because I have a higher rate. But then you've got to figure out, well, what's the frequency? Now, wouldn't it be great? I think a lot of times when people first get into this industry, they think, oh yeah, I want to do commercial work because I get paid the most doing that, or whatever it might be. But it's not every day that you're booking eight national commercials, if only, so you have to figure out the frequency at which that happens. 04:35 - Speaker 3 (Announcement) Yeah. 04:35 - Anne (Host) And then schedule accordingly. Like, what do I get paid per hour coaching? What do I get paid per hour doing a demo? So I think that really understanding what your time is worth on an hourly basis and then being able to assemble, right, the optimal schedule that can get you the most. 04:53 - Danielle (Guest) And also building in times when maybe you're not going for the most amount of money in that time. 05:00 - Anne (Host) Maybe you're building in rest that I tend to like forget about. It's funny because I will forget to schedule or block a day, like, after a day of travel, right? Because I know that after a day of travel, my time clock is going to be all screwed up, especially in a creative sort of a way. I mean, yes, if a client says to me, can you do a voiceover right now? Yeah, I'll do everything I can to do that. However, getting that rest in so that I can mentally refresh to be the very best version and be more efficient with my time, yes, is absolutely something that you need to take into consideration is scheduling that time and scheduling, believe it or not, travel time. I'm always forgetting about travel time, especially when you have calendar systems that work for you. You can build in your buffer. Like, in between students, I build in a buffer of 10 minutes because, God forbid, once in a while I have to go to the bathroom. 06:20 - Danielle (Guest) Or like drink a little bit of water, or stand up, or like walk around. You know, you got to be a human being. 06:26 - Anne (Host) Yeah, exactly. So you have to schedule that time. But I found that I've had to do that and I'm always like, these days it's when I forgot to schedule in time to do this or travel time, or I forgot to schedule a few minutes for me to get back from Pilates class, right? Now, I've actually scheduled time for my health, which I think is so important. My Friday mornings I take two Pilates classes in a row and I can't start my day until a certain time. 06:52 - Danielle (Guest) Two in a row is wild, and good for you, because, well, one's a stretch class. One is a stretch class. 06:58 - Anne (Host) So I start off with like an actual Pilates class and the other is a Pilates stretch class, but it's stretching, by the way, can be very painful. 07:04 - Danielle (Guest) It's really important. It's really important, as you get older, you have to move your body and stretch your body. 07:09 - Anne (Host) And it's a workout too. 07:10 - Danielle (Guest) Yeah, that's a hack, by the way, for those of y'all listening, make sure as you're getting older, don't forget to stretch. 07:17 - Anne (Host) Yeah, I think it's so important that you do physical things and you're physically fit to be your best in the booth too, because that requires mental and physical, believe it or not. I mean, especially when I talk. We've got to talk with our hands, we've got to be in the scene, and so there's a physical element to it. And darn it all, if these booths don't get hot for the most part, unless you've got that booth that has that quiet air conditioning system, which is like, I think that's something that we all as voice actors are like, ah, it's like, if only we could have, you know, and I have a nice ventilation system. 07:50 However, depending on the type of voiceover that I'm doing, I work in a certain size space and I talk, right, and that's energy that's creating, and there has to be an exhaust, right, and if you have an exhaust, then that's like a hole that external noises can come in. So there's always that delicate balance. But I digressed on that tangent. But being fit, I don't get as hot, so it helps me because I can maintain. That's a whole other podcast. But being fit can help you in all aspects of your business. 08:22 - Danielle (Guest) That's a really important point, because this year I, due to health circumstances, made sure to buffer my time and put into my calendar more time for physical fitness, for going out, just leaving the booth, leaving my apartment, even for walks in the evening, whatever it is. 08:43 I for a long time did not make sure to prioritize that and my health started to suffer. And then my work started to suffer because I wasn't resting. I wasn't able to really show up and be the VO BOSS in the booth that I was wanting to be, because I hadn't prioritized other things that maybe were not bringing in as much financial benefits, but were having huge ramifications in my business, because I had not put the time and the energy into making sure that physically I could stay in tip-top shape. So it's not always about blocking out the time for what's bringing in the money. It's also for making sure that the instrument that we use, our body, our mind, our voice, our instrument, can be as great as it can be, because we have done other things that are not necessarily bringing in financial benefits, but we are taking the time to really like, pour into our instrument and pour into ourselves. 09:38 - Anne (Host) Well, that's our product, right? So our product, because it's such a personal part of us, I mean, we're not making a physical product necessarily. Obviously, our voice is our product and so everything that goes into having a good voice and being mentally and physically prepared counts. That's got to be put into your hourly time clock for what that is, and I really believe scheduling that time is important. So then, with the hours that you have left, right, what is it that brings you a certain amount of money per hour? And then what is it that you need? So really, I think, if you sit down with like a schedule, right, and just say, all right, here I'm doing auditions, so is auditioning bringing me in money? Right, but maybe booking is bringing me money, and so it's really interesting to figure out, like, what your worth is on an hourly rate when you're deciding upon, should I invest that time in auditioning or should I invest that time in pursuing my coaching, or should I pursue my dream genre? How much time should I allocate to that? 10:39 - Danielle (Guest) Oh, I love that. I love that because you're making decisions based on data. You're making decisions based on hard numbers, and that makes it a little bit clearer, instead of what you think you should be doing or what you're hearing that other people are doing, you are making decisions, data-based decisions, which is exactly what a VO BOSS, what an entrepreneur, should be doing. 10:58 - Anne (Host) Yeah, absolutely. So you've got to take the numbers that are certainty, right, and you can guesstimate, like, if you receive jobs, like, I think that's the biggest thing that is out of our control. If we get a job, or you know what I mean, if we book the job, then we need to dedicate the time to do that. So maybe, in terms of how you're growing your business, are you going to do something else on the side, right? How much money will that bring in? It amazes me the amount of students that are coming to me part-time, right, they have a full-time job, that don't know their hourly rate, don't know their hourly rate that they get paid at their corporate job, and I'm like, you really should figure that out, because when you're trying to make those decisions, should I do this full-time, part-time? I mean, there's going to be that transition time where you're going to have to start building up business, building up repeat customers, because those would be the customers that you can depend on. Okay, this income is coming in, so my hourly rate will change for that. 11:50 - Danielle (Guest) Yeah, and your hourly rate. We've already said this a little bit, but it can be genre specific. Yes, so Maria Pendolino likes to call it your pick up the mic fee. So whatever is like your baseline of what you will go into your studio, turn on your computer and like, do the work. What is that minimum? So you know, actually, if they're falling below your personal minimum pick up the mic fee, then it may not be worth your time. Maybe you can do other things like rest or doing physical fitness, or spending time with your family, or marketing or auditioning or whatever else that you need to be doing. You know the minimum amount that you would like to make her job or just at any moment to bring you into the booth. You know that minimum and then that actually helps you be able to say yes or no to projects as they come along. 12:39 But they are going to be genre specific. The amount of money that I make doing a 15 second national commercial is not going to be the same amount of money that I make when I'm doing an e-learning project, but I do know that the minimum to bring me into this booth to close the door and to like start talking and do what I need to do is X, and if it's not hitting X, then the answer for me probably is going to be no, or I know that I'm saying yes to it given other circumstances, and that's totally fine too. 13:10 - Anne (Host) Yeah, I may be different right now for you bosses out there that are only concentrating on voiceover, but when you have different avenues and you have different income streams, like, for example, everybody knows, I have the VO BOSS podcast because I'm on it. There's an income stream for VO BOSS, there's an income stream for VO Peeps, which I also run, and there's an income stream for Anne Ganguzza Voice Productions. 13:28 And so I know, for an event that I put on for VO Peeps, I want to make a certain amount of profit, and so, therefore, I have to determine what am I going to pay my guest director, what am I going to pay to my assistants to promote it, right, on social media? So there's a cost for all of that. And then so there's a number that I want to hit. There's amount of sales that I want to hit so that I can make a profit, or I can make the profit that I want to make for my monthly goal. So I literally have that, and those are actually easy to calculate, because those numbers are like, well, I know I need to make this. Now, how am I going to sell that many tickets, right? Well, I need to pay my assistants to help me market it through email, through social media, and so you just kind of run it down that way. 14:10 And then for VO BOSS, right? So I pay out a lot of money to produce this podcast, right? What do I need in order to support? You know what it costs on a yearly basis to host it on its own website? What do I need to pay my assistants to create the webpages that do the show notes? What do I pay the monthly subscription fee for, believe it or not, Riverside, which is how I record it, and Riverside does some transcripts for me. It does some YouTube shorts for me automatically. 14:39 So all of that stuff is calculatable, and so I love being able to have the different avenues of income and streams of income, because those are ones I can depend on and they're more concrete than getting a voiceover job, because that's the unknown, right? So I have a certain amount of time that I'm spending trying to acquire that voiceover job. I'm marketing, I'm doing direct marketing, I'm auditioning, and then I don't know if I get it. Then, believe it or not, that takes precedence over everything. I mean, voiceover is my highest paying per hour, and so, yeah, ultimately, if I didn't want to do all these other things like coaching and my VO BOSS podcast, I would spend all of my time marketing and dedicating myself to voiceover, because that's my highest paying per hour rate, and so that to me makes sense. However, I like to have multiple avenues in case there are those fluctuations in the market, which there are. 15:29 - Danielle (Guest) What I like about what you just said was you basically are able to reverse engineer your hourly based on numbers you are able to look at. Okay, this is how much I need to make. So therefore, I need to sell this number of seats to an event, or I need to have this much in sponsorships for the podcast, or what have you. I love that, because then it takes away from, oh well, I'm not really sure, or I'll go to this rate guide and use this number that was provided for me, because it may or may not be the right number for you, using the rate guide for an example. 16:07 It is a guide. It may be that the numbers that you see there may align with what your number needs to be that you can hit. What you can do is you can look at a lot of your expenses. You can look at what does it cost to run the business of you on a monthly or annual basis, and then you can actually calculate, okay, I want to spend this much time in the booth, or I want to spend this much time doing auditions, and you can actually calculate what you need so that that number is specific to you and then you know it. It doesn't necessarily need to be something that you put on your website, but when someone asks you how much would you quote for X, you are able to calculate your time, because your time has a lot of value, what is generally acceptable in the market, and then you can kind of give the number that is right for you and your business and your life. 16:57 - Anne (Host) Absolutely. And you know, I know that I kind of opened up that part of the discussion by saying, well, maybe I'm different, but in reality, we're all entrepreneurs. I mean, I love the different individual income streams that I have, and I encourage you, as bosses, to have those multiple income streams because, I mean, I'm not special. I mean, I literally just said, oh, I want to do this, and so, therefore, how am I going to be making money of this? If I wasn't making money off of, let's say, my other brands, then I would reconsider, well, are they worth it, right, are they worth it for me to continue? And how will I move forward from this point on? And so, bosses, man, I mean, the world is your oyster. 17:35 I mean, you are entrepreneurs. You can have any other income stream you want and really reverse engineer it just the same way I did. I mean, you could literally be like, okay, my first love is voiceover, and I want to do that. But also, you know what, I actually love shopping, like, I love grocery shopping, so I'll do Instacart, so that might be another income stream, right, or whatever other things that you love and you're interested in doing. Figure out, okay, maybe being an Uber driver is something. I know a lot of people that do that for money and they love it because they love driving, and so you can listen to lots of podcasts while you're driving, by the way, and so you could be doing double duty, like, educating yourself by listening to Danielle and I on your route. So figure out, like, okay, what am I making per hour for my Uber, right, services, and what am I making per hour for whatever my Instacart or whatever else you're doing? It doesn't have to just be voiceover. 18:23 Mine just happened to be voiceover related because they were things I wanted to do. I literally just said, oh, I want to be on the radio. You know what? The closest thing to that is a podcast. Yeah, let me see what that takes, right? And now I said, wow, it cost me money for this podcast, much more than I originally thought. How can I make some of that investment back? Right, how can I do that? And so I came up with the VO BOSS Blast. I came up with sponsorship options, I came up with ads that play, and so ultimately, it becomes a marketing venue for me. So lots of different ways, bosses, that you can work in your hourly rate and figure out what it is that you're making, and if you get so many rides from Uber, you know how much money you're making. I mean, that's concrete, it's there. 19:06 - Danielle (Guest) Yeah, that's. The great thing about numbers is that it is concrete and you know how much that you can expect to make, and then you can figure out what to do with that money. Maybe it is staying within voiceover, but maybe it's looking at different genres that you're not usually working in, and you can calculate a higher hourly rate for a different genre and then use it that way to scale your business. So there's so many different ways to do it. I do love that you said to be creative and figure it out, because it doesn't have to be what you are seeing everybody else do. Your business is yours and you can make these decisions and you can choose how much you are getting paid. There's a lot of power in that. When you've taken the reins and said, okay, this is my floor, you can make so much more money in deciding how you want to diversify your time and diversify your hourly rate with maybe different genres or different ways to bring in money. I love that. 20:01 - Anne (Host) And how exciting is that? 20:03 - Danielle (Guest) Danielle, it's incredibly exciting. 20:04 - Anne (Host) Right. You said like, literally it's you, you're in control. Yeah, bosses, I want you to just sit there with that for a minute. You are in control of your business, of your destiny. Yeah, and so many people get so preoccupied with what other people are doing. This is your business. How exciting is that? You have, literally, you can do anything you want. I mean, really. I mean, if you're going to sit back in an intelligent and figure out, okay, I really would like to do this, how can I achieve income? How can I? 20:29 - Danielle (Guest) How can I achieve income? How can I? That's a really important question to ask yourself, because when you ask yourself, how can I do it, you, as a creative, will probably be able to figure it out, and you're not waiting for somebody else to give it to you. 20:43 - Anne (Host) It's so empowering. It's so empowering. I often say, having worked in corporate before and in education, honestly, like, I could never go back to working for someone again. To be quite honest, I mean, outside of working for a client for a brief amount of time, in which point I do it and they pay me and I'm out, I'm in, I'm out, I get paid. I love that. So what would be your recommendations on somebody, like, what would be their steps to sit down and figure out their hourly rate? What would you suggest they do first? 21:14 - Danielle (Guest) I would look at what you're currently working on, because again, it's probably going to be genre specific. So if you're doing a lot of non-broadcast narration, for example, you're talking about corporate narration or medical narration, figure out how much of that work you're actually currently doing and how much are you typically charging for that, so you know your non-broadcast hourly rates. And then you can also take a look and see if you're doing commercials, for example, if you're doing like TV and radio commercials, how much are you typically getting for that? And then what can you do to affect those numbers? You can raise your rates if it's non-broadcast. You can start doing more direct marketing, for example, maybe to find and bring in more clients. You can streamline your process. Maybe that is bringing in an editor. That's going to cost you money, but then you can kind of buffer and build that in. 22:08 But look at what you're currently doing, look at how much you're currently charging, and figure out what you can do about it. The easiest thing, it's not easy, easy, but it is something that you can do pretty quickly is increasing your rates. I mean, it's the end of the year. Rate increases are pretty normal for a lot of businesses. So take a look and see. Have you increased your rates in the last year, two, three years? If not, now's the time to do that. Maybe it's your cost per word for e-learning, something, anything, and you can make incremental changes that way, which will have huge benefits for your business. 22:42 - Anne (Host) Yeah, there's something to be said for the whole end of year, increasing your rates, even in times of hardship and bad economy. Right, you've also got to take that into effect, like what's the market rate, but you can increase your rate in a way that's not like obscene or it's not like a big jolt to your client. And a lot of times I'll preface, I have not raised my rates for five years and so I'm happy to have you continue as a client. However, I need to raise my rates. That is like a whole bold move, but it is something that you can absolutely do, because people raise their rates. I mean, companies raise their rates all the time. I see it, they raise their prices, and so you can do that. Just be careful, you don't want to make it too much of a price change so that it will jolt your customers into saying, I can't afford that. And even if they do say that, the cool thing about working with clients is that you can always like negotiate. 23:34 You can always backtrack and say, you know what, I've always loved working with you. Perhaps we can come to an agreement. And sometimes you do have to like. I mean, I've had it where a client says, I absolutely cannot pay any more than I am right now, and I'll say, you know what, I really love working with you, and I'll make that decision whether it's going to be worth my hourly rate to continue working with them or if it's time to say goodbye. And there have been times that I have said goodbye, and it's okay because it allows me my time back so that I can make more money per hour. 24:03 - Danielle (Guest) And if you bring in a new client that is paying this higher rate, then it kind of becomes like self-cleaning, in a way. And that's really great. It's a great way to increase your rates as time goes on. Another really great way to increase your rates is to get really comfortable with negotiating and understanding how to negotiate effectively. 24:22 - Anne (Host) Can I say that enough? 24:24 - Danielle (Guest) Yeah, that's a really great way. And then you can figure out what your new hourly rate would be and you can negotiate based on what you know that to be, or, as Maria said, your pick up the mic fee. You can just make sure that you're hitting that standard minimum every single time. 24:39 - Anne (Host) Absolutely. And, like I said, concrete data is great data to reverse engineer, to understand that hourly worth. So, for example, like as I mentioned to you, commercial work for me is my highest paying work. Right after that comes medical narration, after that comes corporate narration and e-learning, because I charge the same. So I have a rate guide that I have a base knowledge of. Here's what I charge, right? And of course, I always promote GVAA rate guide and the rate guides that are out there to go for benchmarks and know that they're just benchmarks. 25:08 You can always adjust and, knowing this, saying, okay, I make the most of my money for non-broadcast narration on medical, perhaps I want to up my marketing in that genre, right, how can I get in front of the people who can hire me so that I can make that money? And so that might be. You're going to have to figure that into. Well, I might have to spend an extra hour marketing, and again, I can sacrifice that because I have my Uber on the side, which is bringing in money so that I can do that, or I can increase my Uber hours if I can't, or I can maybe rely less on one and then increase the other. So it's constantly, I think a balancing act, Danielle, it is. Right. 25:47 - Speaker 3 (Announcement) In terms of. 25:47 - Anne (Host) Okay, how can I do this? And so you should, first of all, have an idea of what you're worth. You should establish that number, right? So figure out what it is that you're getting paid the most for, and so, like, I'll do, like, a per hour rate of $1,500 to $1,700 for a medical, non-broadcast narration, right? Breaking that down, that's a pretty high yield, right? So then what is my coaching rate? Okay, so my coaching rate is $200 per hour, or you know what I mean. So how much coaching do I need to do per week? Or how much do I need to do to bring in? I usually like to think of it in terms of monthly, because I know that I have a certain figure that I like to achieve at the end of the year. Break it down to the monthly and then break it down to weekly, and sometimes weekly is tough because of the uncertainty of VO jobs, the cyclical nature of how things go, yeah. 26:33 Yeah, but then there are certain things that I know that every month, I do an event for VO Peeps and I'm going to make this amount of profit, right? Every month I have a subscription to this and so that's going to cost me this much, or I have people sending me money for a subscription, and so maybe I need to increase my marketing to get my subscriptions up, right, people subscribing to VO Peeps, that kind of a thing. So there's so many things that are good and concrete, and repeat clients are also. They're better than non-repeat clients, aren't they? 27:01 Because we can almost rely on them, we know what rate we're getting from them, and so it's easier to kind of juggle those numbers around. And then there's the uncertainty of the audition. Are we going to get the gig? And if we get the gig, do we have a client? Can we turn that client into a return client? So there's all the uncertainties. So you leave a certain amount of hours to handle that, right, to handle that. And if that's not happening in those hours, then you work towards maybe increasing your marketing to that, so it's not just like, I'm making the money. You got to have, I think, a certain amount of hours where you're spending the time working on always marketing or auditioning, trying to achieve those numbers. 27:40 - Danielle (Guest) Yeah, I love that because it gives you a machine that's kind of like bringing in the next client and then you know what to do when it goes through your pipeline of actually booking or onboarding that client or trying to find more clients like the ones that you're currently working with. It gives you something that's like always working in the background and then what you're currently doing, and you can figure out how to tune your rates to maximize whatever is coming through that pipeline. That's right. 28:08 - Anne (Host) Good stuff, good stuff, Danielle, yeah. All right. Bosses, go out there and figure out what you're doing, figure out how much you're making per hour, depending on what division of your company that you're working in. So what are you making in commercial, what are you making in non-broadcast narration, what are you working in other income streams? And then plan accordingly and negotiate, yeah, and negotiate, absolutely. All right. Big shout out to our sponsor, ipDTL. Find out more at IPDTL.com.

Cultivating Quiet Confidence as a Woman In today's fast-paced world, power is often associated with loudness, dominance, and aggressive behavior. However, Tonya Leigh highlights a different perspective: quiet power, which is rooted in presence, certainty, and self-trust. This form of power is not about making noise or asserting oneself over others; rather, it embodies a calm and confident energy that naturally commands respect. The concept of "quiet power" and what it truly means to be a strong, influential woman without conforming to traditional expectations of dominance. Tonya reflects on her personal journey and how her quietness and feminine energy have often been misinterpreted as weaknesses. She shares insights on the importance of authenticity and self-trust, emphasizing that true power lies in being aligned with one's true self rather than succumbing to external pressures. Join Tonya as she uncovers how to embrace your presence, influence without force, and become undeniably powerful in your own unique way. Talking Points: 01:42 - Misalignment and Loss of Power 04:25 - True Power and Insecurity 06:33 - Knowing Your Worth 11:04 - Acting Out of Character 14:49 - Rosa Parks' Quiet Defiance 18:24 - Unshakable Boundaries 22:07 - Importance of Emotional Management 26:04 - Dressing and Moving with Intentionality 28:29 - Embodying Quiet Power 30:22 - Taking Action Without Announcing Quotes: "If you are trying to be something that your soul is not in alignment with, if you are trying to be powerful in a way that doesn't feel true to you, there is going to be misalignment." "I am that quiet power. I have no interest in dominating you. I want us all to win together." "Her strength lay in her unshakable presence, her certainty, and her quiet refusal to be moved, literally and figuratively." "There's something magnetic about a woman who's in that energy that's just so in who she is, who's so present, who has nothing to prove and everything to give." "How would you dress, walk, and speak if you fully believed in your power?" "A woman with quiet power doesn't waste time talking about what she's going to do. She just does it."
