Alongside writing for numerous places like CNN, Animal Planet, the LA Business Journal, and many more, Laurie was elected local Mayor back in 2015, has a Masters Degree from Harvard, and has just published 'Mask of the Deer Woman'.It tells the story of Carrie Starr. Once a detective in Chicago, Carrie has hit rock-bottom after a personal tragedy and returned to the reservation in which she grew up to be their local Marshal. When a college student goes missing, Carrie must wrestle with the reasons why her own daughter disappeared.We discuss why Laurie has found time to write for pleasure when she makes money writing for other people, also how she dealt with the ambiguity of magical realism, and why she likes to sneak up on the story. You can hear how fiction comes from character, how hard it is to find an organic ending to the first novel in a series, and why the only way to find out how to write novels... is to write novels.This week's episode is sponsored by the 'Charley Scott Mysteries', by Vanessa Westermann.

Can You Actually Have It All In A Stepfamily? Today I'm sharing an interview I did for this year's Stepmom Summit because it's the kind of story that we don't get to hear enough of as stepmoms: a stepmom and mom who not only get along, but are real-life friends, work together, and have made co-parenting virtually seamless for their kids. I'm talking with Emmy Award-winning journalist Catt Sadler and Digital Dept. CEO Sarah Boyd. These women are each superstars professionally, and both vowed to put the kids in the stepfamily first. It's a wonderful story of how the dynamics can come together in a loving and positive way.  About Catt: Catt Sadler is a three time-Emmy winning journalist, renowned for her work on E! Entertainment, where she spent more than a decade contributing to E! News, E! News Weekend, Daily Pop, Live From E! and hosting various network specials. She's also been a fixture on the red carpet covering high-caliber events and interviewing celebrities during awards season. She has been co-host of the Vanity Fair Oscars Party show for the last several years. Today, she is the host and EP of her weekly podcast: CATT SADLER Now. Catt has appeared on The View, The Talk, The Tamron Hall Show, and many other programs. After choosing to leave E! over a wage gap issue and receiving an outpouring of support, Catt became a prominent voice for the equal pay movement. She has spent much of her time contributing to the cause by taking part in the LA Women's March, speaking at the Equal Pay Day rally at City Hall in New York, and starring in LUNA Bar's Equal Pay Day campaign. Catt was also selected for the NYDJ Denim campaign highlighting women leading change. She starred in the SECRET deodorant “I'd Rather Get Paid” initiative and MM.Le.Fleur's “What Are You Made Of?” fashion campaign. In 2021 she was featured with a diverse group of women in Summersalt's swimwear campaign celebrating an eclectic group of confident and successful women who love their bodies – in all forms, at any age. Championing women has always been her passion. About Sarah: Sarah Boyd is the co-CEO of The Digital Dept., which represents the most sought-after celebrity influencers. Her current/past clients roster includes Alessandra Ambrosio, Jamie Chung, Olivia Culpo, Julianne Hough, Lauren Bushnell Lane, Jana Kramer, and many more who look to Sarah to help them capitalize on their influential status in the entertainment industry to make their mark in the influencer world. Sarah started her career in Fashion PR and in 2012, she decided to channel her expert industry know-how, her extensive list of contacts, and relationships into starting her own business, SIMPLY, a collective with one goal in mind: connecting. The SIMPLY ‘Do What You Love' event is an annual Fashion and Beauty Conference in cities such as LA, NY, Chicago, and Dubai. Since 2012, SIMPLY has hosted tens of thousands of attendees. Sarah has secured partnerships with prestigious brands like CITI, Topshop, Barney's NY and many more. She's been featured in Marie Claire, People Style Watch, Fox News, E!, LA Business Journal, to name a few. She was named a “Female Founder to Watch” by Forbes and is now a Forbes Fashion and Beauty contributor. In 2017, Sarah completed a successful acquisition for SIMPLY with Socialyte (under the NYLON LLC parent company) and Sarah held the position of President of Socialyte. In 2018, Sarah co-founded the Moms + Babes Box with partner Jana Kramer which is a quarterly subscription box filled with 6+ full sized products for moms and their babes. In 2020, Sarah and Jana sold the business.

Kathryn interviews OBGYN and Surgeon Greg Marchand MD.The current status of abortion laws throughout the states are confusing at best. With the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, many women are left with questions pertaining to their reproductive rights. Dr. Greg Marchand helps to shed some light on the subject of abortion rights, especially in Arizona, giving us a timeline of the legality of abortion. Of particular interest is that some private providers have resumed abortion services in Arizona even though Planned Parenthood has not. Dr. Marchand is a board certified physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology and is an expert in minimally invasive surgery. He has published extensively in the field of minimally invasive surgery and is recognized internationally as a pioneer in developing laparoscopic techniques. He holds the Guinness Book of World Records for performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy through the smallest incision ever. Kathryn also interviews Attorney, CEO Evie Jeang JD. Evie Jeang is a licensed attorney in California and New York and the Founder of Ideal Legal Group, practicing in the areas of international family and surrogacy law. She is a surrogacy expert and is the President and CEO of Surrogacy Concierge, an agency that helps couples create families by connecting them with surrogates. Many LBGTQ+ couples have chosen Surrogacy Concierge because of its world class associates, including hospitality, legal and medical professionals. Jeang understands first-hand the impact that a demanding career or health issues can have on one's ability to expand their family. Career driven in her twenties, she knew she wanted a child but didn't want to get married. She froze her eggs, and later had her son Evan via surrogate in 2014. Jeang has been featured in Forbes, LA Business Journal and on CNBC.

Kathryn interviews OBGYN and Surgeon Greg Marchand MD.The current status of abortion laws throughout the states are confusing at best. With the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, many women are left with questions pertaining to their reproductive rights. Dr. Greg Marchand helps to shed some light on the subject of abortion rights, especially in Arizona, giving us a timeline of the legality of abortion. Of particular interest is that some private providers have resumed abortion services in Arizona even though Planned Parenthood has not. Dr. Marchand is a board certified physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology and is an expert in minimally invasive surgery. He has published extensively in the field of minimally invasive surgery and is recognized internationally as a pioneer in developing laparoscopic techniques.

Today's guest, Thea Pham, shares her journey in discovering and defining what mental health means to her, how it fits in the complicated puzzle of her upbringing, and why she has felt immense emotional and psychological strains being the first generation. As an accomplished biotech entrepreneur, Thea was the youngest in her class to graduate with a Ph.D. in neuroscience at UCLA and currently works for a biotech venture capital start-up in LA. She has won numerous awards for her research and was featured in the LA Business Journal's 20 entrepreneurs in their 20s.    A month ago, Thea received viral attention after sharing an emotional TikTok about her challenges as the daughter of Vietnamese parents. In that video, she highlighted some common expectations that fall on children of immigrants, such as academic excellence and financial support. But in Thea's case, they have caused guilt, mental illness, and more. Atlhough, Thea and I come from diametric points of view in our status as daughter and mother, respectively but our dialogue was fruitful. I want you to stay after, to hear me unpack this conversation with our content editor and this script's writer, Yudi Liu, who is an immigrant daughter herself.

Joining us today is Shelton Wilder, a UGA graduate with a Bachelor in Business Administration. As a savvy serial entrepreneur, she has started a luxury lifestyle management company, a celebrity fashion stylist business, and invented the Shemie, which she debuted on Shark Tank. She is now the CEO of the Shelton Wilder Group and has become one of the top luxury real estate agents in Los Angeles. The Shelton Wilder Group has achieved a staggering $300 million in total sales, putting her in the top 1.5% of realtors nationwide. She was named 2021 Real Estate All-Star by Los Angeles Magazine and nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year by the LA Business Journal, and in Forbes Magazine she was named to the Top 10 Business Professionals to look out for in 2022 list. But life has not always been a smooth ride as we will hear from her having hit rock bottom in more ways than one, including surviving bankruptcy and achieving sobriety, but like every good “bulldawg in business,” she picked herself up and found her passion for real estate and is now one of the most successful realtors nationwide!

Welcome to today's episode featuring a sober friend and female powerhouse, Shelton Wilder.  Her bio says it all:Shelton Wilder hails from Charlotte, North Carolina but loves Los Angeles as only a native can. In her over fifteen years on the Westside, Shelton has developed a nuanced understanding of LA's complex and often bewildering patchwork of neighborhoods, schools, and cultures. In just over six years as a realtor--but many more as a serial entrepreneur in marketing, fashion, and entertainment---Shelton has achieved a staggering $300 million in total sales, putting her in the top 1.5% of realtors nationwide. Shelton was also nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year by the LA Business Journal, named Real Estate All-Star by Los Angeles Magazine and featured in Forbes “Top 10 Business Professionals to look out for in 2022.” While she specializes in luxury residential and commercial properties in Brentwood, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Mar Vista, Venice and Beverly Hills, Shelton will travel anywhere her clients have interests. Buying a home is often the most important purchase--and investment--of a person's life. It's also one of the most intense experiences of a person's life, particularly in the ever more competitive Los Angeles market. Shelton is committed to making the process as stress-free as possible. Her compassion, patience, exuberance, and gentleness distinguish her from many with comparably acute business sense and vigorous skills of negotiation. Whether working with a first-time buyer on a starter home or an experienced investor buying a third residence, Shelton is equally dedicated to helping her clients achieve their dreams. This unparalleled devotion, born of a genuine desire to be of service to others, explains why 99% of Shelton's business comes via referral or past clients. The testimonials say it all: when you hire Shelton once, you become part of her extended family--and a client for life. Her relationship-centric approach also explains Shelton's success in securing "off-market" listings. With inventory at an all-time low, hidden listings routinely come to her from former clients and associates who trust her and recognize both her integrity and professionalism. Clients also benefit from Shelton's superb aesthetic sense and extensive background in fashion (she started several fashion-oriented businesses, one of which appeared on Shark Tank). While she enlists the expertise of the industry's top stagers, Shelton brings her imagination, along with her passion for decor and design, to each listing. This loving and enthusiastic attention to the smallest details makes every client feel like she's in their corner --because she is. Shelton is the proud mother of two beautiful boys (Beau and Lane) and the wife of a longtime Los Angeles attorney and avid tennis junkie and Rams fan, Clark. In addition to volunteering at her son's elementary school, Shelton also donates her time and resources at P.S. Arts, The Alexandria House, LA Food Bank and Upward Bound House. In her free time, she enjoys dining out with her wonderful friends and colleagues and indulging in staycations in her favorite location in the entire world, Los Angeles.

I remember when I was first seeking a way for BioLight to somehow become involved in a scientific study and have our products validated by research.

Mike Whitmire is the co-founder and CEO OF FloQast, a close management software company that helps rapidly growing companies, particularly pre-IPO and public companies, close their monthly financial books with greater accuracy and speed. Mike started his career as an accountant at one of the Big Four, and then worked in the accounting department of Cornerstone OnDemand, a high flying software company where he helped prepare the company for its IPO. From these experiences, Mike was inspired and motivated to leave the accounting profession and found a company focused on automating and improving the accuracy of accounting operations, moving it from a world of thousands of spreadsheets and pages of checklists to modern software. Seven years later, FloQast is an emerging leader in close management software with over 800 customers, including many public companies and late-stage, pre-IPO private companies such as The Golden State Warriors, Yelp, Zoom, and Lyft. I learn more about how FloQast helps pre-IPO startups and public companies, close their monthly financial books with greater accuracy and speed. Mike makes the mundane world of audit workflow management to the cloud and amortization reconciliation sound exciting by sharing his story and the problems that the business solves in a language that everyone can understand. Mike also shares how for the 4th year in a row, FloQast has been named one of LA Business Journal's top companies to work at, ranking #1 overall for tech companies.

If you work in Los Angeles there is a good chance you at some point picked up a copy of the Los Angeles Business Journal.  I for one have been a customer for many years.  Personally I find it very informative and helpful to learn about the business landscape in Los Angeles, covering all sectors, including real estate , media, fashion, health care, start ups, insurance, tech, and countless other industries,  This week I sit down with Anna Magzanyan the CEO and Publisher of the Los Angeles Business Journal. The LA Business Journal is an important source of media for anyone doing business in LA and I wanted to hear from the woman in charge. Anna’s journey to become the Publisher and CEO was a bit untraditional.  She shares how her background in marketing and branding help lead her to new and bigger opportunities. While working at the LA Times, she said. “I was an entrepreneur in a corporate environment.”    But Before leaving Anna launched a few iconic pieces at the Times including; The Envelope, The Envelope Screening Series, Style, Taste and other profitable ideas. Anna is an idea person that pushes new boundaries and knows how to create business opportunities.  She continues to do this with the LA Business Journal.

Robert Luo graduated from USC Marshall School of Business with a degree in Bachelor of Business Administration. Robert started his first company when he was 20. It was during the time when he decided to take a gap year after my sophomore year in college. Robert’s company developed a mobile application called Ubi, which allowed users to send messages and videos with Bluetooth. It was a unique and stressful experience at the time. The company failed to deliver the app 5 times before the official launch, which resulted in $30,000 extra expenses. Luckily, after the official launch, the app gained 5000 users within the next 6 months. By the time I sold the company for $300,000, the app had over 10,000 users. After returning to USC, Robert immediately began to draft ideas on how to start next. He eventually came up with two ideas. The first idea was starting a green fashion brand that creates sustainable and recyclable products to reduce fashion waste. After 14 months of research, customer discovery, design, and experimentation, they launched the product, Mi Terro CDS, to Kickstarter in February 2018. Mi Terro CDS is the world’s only bag made of recycled ocean plastics and cork. The campaign was a big success. We were fully funded within 22 hours and later concluded the campaign with 450% funded. Because of our great product and business model, they won $5000 for the USC New Venture Seed Competition. Robert is also running a green software company called Reo2. The Reo2 app rewards users for reducing carbon emission by planting trees on their behalf. Robert Luo was a Forbes Under 30 Scholar and a candidate of the LA Business Journal’s “20 Entrepreneurs in Their 20s.” Show notes at: https://www.justgogrind.com/podcast/
