"Syndrome of Control" is a book by Lindsey Williams exposing what he alleges is the manipulative mindset of international financiers, claiming they intentionally caused events like the energy crisis and the Iran hostage situation to gain control. The book also features a chapter by Congressman George Hansen detailing his firsthand account of the Iran crisis, corroborating Williams' claims of manipulation. Another section contrasts a Constitutional Republic with a Democracy, arguing that America has transitioned from the former to the latter, resulting in a loss of freedoms. Finally, the book includes letters purportedly written by a banker to his son, revealing the alleged strategies used to maintain financial control. These sources present a conspiracy theory perspective, alleging a hidden power structure manipulating global events for their own benefit --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/book-clubs-near-me/support

And so that's something that has served me well, both in my past corporate life and then also in running a business. I think that being a good problem solver will take you far because there's only so much information you can actually know.On today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the privilege of sitting down with Lindsey Williams, the founder and winemaker of the Urban Wine Co. Lindsey shared the inspiring story of how she's transforming the wine industry, particularly in the South, by introducing diversity and a fresh approach to winemaking.Lindsey didn't take the traditional route to becoming a winemaker. Starting her career as a lawyer and then transitioning to investment banking, she learned firsthand how to handle high-stakes transactions. But a trip to Tuscany sparked her love for winemaking, and that passion evolved into a full-fledged business.Urban Wine Co. isn't just another winery. Lindsey imports grapes from renowned wine regions like California and Oregon and even from overseas, but the magic happens locally in the Carolinas. “We're making our wines here locally, and we're spreading diversity wherever we go,” Lindsey told me during the interview. She explained that her goal is to make the wine world more accessible to people from all walks of life, introducing wine to new communities that might not typically engage with it.Her ambition doesn't stop at making wine approachable—she's aiming to scale the business dramatically. Urban Wine Co. has already secured a partnership with Target, bringing their wines to 44 stores. Lindsey sees this as just the beginning, with a vision to grow the company into a multi-million dollar business.I was inspired by Lindsey's dedication to continuous learning, diversity, and growth. Her journey from corporate America to winemaking is a testament to what can happen when passion meets perseverance.The Urban Wine Company is raising capital from the crowd via Wefunder. I encourage you to visit the site to learn more.tl;dr:* Introduction to the Guest and Business: Lindsey Williams, founder and CEO of Urban Wine Company, discusses her unique winery concept in the South, where they import grapes and use modern fermentation techniques. Her mission is to diversify the wine world and make it more accessible.* Innovative Wine Production: Urban Wine Company imports grapes from various regions, including California, Oregon, and overseas. They're working on producing North Carolina-grown wines, with their process taking place locally in the Lake Norman area.* Lindsey's Background and Transition: Lindsey, a former J.P. Morgan investment banker and lawyer, became passionate about wine during her travels. She studied winemaking and transitioned into the industry, eventually founding Urban Wine Company.* Business Growth and Scaling: The company started small but gained popularity, now partnering with Target for a 44-store deal. They're raising funds to expand production and distribution.* Entrepreneurship and Problem-Solving: Lindsey shares advice for entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of learning, problem-solving, and adapting, particularly during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic.How to Develop Problem-Solving As a SuperpowerLindsey's superpower is her ability to solve problems, a skill she developed during her corporate career, and that has been crucial in her entrepreneurial journey. Her approach to problem-solving has helped her navigate challenges ranging from regulatory issues in the wine industry to the everyday tasks of running a business.Lindsey shared how, early in her business journey, she faced the sudden closure of her wine-tasting room due to COVID-19. At the time, her business relied entirely on in-person sales. With no prior experience in online sales, she quickly learned the legal and technical requirements for selling wine online in North Carolina. By working with a vendor to meet compliance standards, Lindsey successfully transitioned her business to online sales, allowing her to continue serving customers during the shutdown.Tips for Developing the Superpower:* Learn as much as you can: Every new problem is an opportunity to become an expert. Immerse yourself in the issue, whether it's marketing, sales, or regulatory compliance.* Write things down: Organize your thoughts by writing them down, using lists, sticky notes, or vision boards to map out potential solutions.* Prioritize issues: Focus on the most critical problems first and consider what you can control.* Get everything out in the open: Use tools like whiteboards to visualize all possible solutions before determining your approach.By following Lindsey's example and advice, you can make problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileLindsey Williams (she/her):Founder & Winemaker, The Urban Wine Co.About The Urban Wine Co.: The Urban Wine Co. is the first urban winery in the Charlotte regional area and was started out of the desire to bring approachable, affordable and locally made wine options to the Carolinas.Website: www.theurbanwineco.comX/Twitter Handle: @theurbanwinecoCompany Facebook Page: fb.com/theurbanwinecoOther URL: wefunder.com/urbanwinellcBiographical Information: 18+ years of corporate legal and finance experience at companies like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.

On June 2nd, 2023, the documentary series "Shiny Happy People" premiered on Amazon Prime. While the series' tagline promised to expose some Duggar family secrets, it ended up revealing much more, particularly the work and philosophy of Bill Gothard, the creator of the Institute in Basic Life Principles and the Advanced Training Institute. Gothard's curriculum was marketed as extremely helpful for families in protecting their children, but it ultimately caused incredible harm.Today, a year after the series premiered on Amazon Prime, I'm sitting down with one of the cast members of "Shiny Happy People," Lindsay Williams, to discuss her life journey from starting in IBGP at the age of eight to working alongside Bill Gothard one-on-one at headquarters. We even spent a good chunk of the conversation discussing Lindsay Williams' life now, both as an advocate and as a successful makeup artist who has worked with brands like Vogue and GQ. We explore what it's like transitioning from being a repressed homeschooler to working in the fast-paced world of beauty and fashion.It's an incredible conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Lindsay; we instantly became friends, and I'm certain you'll love hearing from her in this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/https://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/*as an amazon associate I may receive a small commission on purchases made through links in these show notesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Join Davey Jackson and Lindsey Williams LIVE as they talk about what it was like going back to the the compounds where they lived while still in the Shiny Happy People cult. The Shiny Happy People Cult (IBLP) owned compounds or "Training Centers" all over the world under the supervision of cult leader, Bill Gothard. Today, many of the compounds are no longer owned by the cult and have been abandoned or repurposed. Years later, Davey and Lindsey have both returned to the old sites of the compounds. They discuss their unique experiences of seeing the former compounds where they were subjected to brain washing, solitary confinement, and abuse.

Cult denier, Holly McLean (aka Mommy Answer Lady) has made it her mission to discredit victims of the Shiny Happy People cult. She released a series of videos attacking Amazon Prime's "Shiny Happy People" documentary, and accused participants of lying about their experience in the cult.

But Davey Jackson has uncovered some disturbing information about Holly, which raise serious questions about her credibility and intentions. Lindsey Williams and Chad Harris join the podcast to discuss Davey's discoveries and react to a trailer for Holly's forthcoming documentary.

This week we dive into the Not so SHINY and certainly not HAPPY world of the Institute of Basic Life Principle's aka IBLP organization. An organization that was featured in the Amazon Prime documentary "Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets". We learn about the smooth talking leader, Bill Gothard and the truly heartbreaking things he was teaching people. We learn the terrible things he was doing to "Gothard Girl's" and we unpack how the Duggar family, of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting fame, became the token family of this organization. Lindsey also walks us through growing up being homeschooled using the teachings of IBLP, something they called ATI (Advance Training Institute) where she introduces us to "Wisdom Books" that provided little real wisdom and were certainly not advanced. So, whether you watched the documentary and want more insider information or are learning about this all for the first time I urge you to listen._____________________________________Lindsey's "Crazy Pretty" Website: https://crazypretty.com/Cult Chronicles IG: https://www.instagram.com/thecultchronicles/Lindsey's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/Cultchronicles_____________________________________Link to all things Not in a Huff Podcast: https://linktr.ee/notinahuffpodcastPlease follow/subscribe to the podcast to be the first to see new episodes when they come out each week.

Chad Harris and Lindsey Williams both grew up under the teachings of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) cult in their Advanced Training Institute homeschool program. They were also both featured in the popular Amazon docuseries ShinyHappy People: Duggar Family Secrets. Chad left those teachings behind in his mid-twenties and went on a journey of deconstruction and learning that led him to become a vocal critic of Christian fundamentalism. He started telling his life story on TikTok in 2020. His goal is to see the IBLP shuttered once and for all, and those responsible for its harm brought to justice and accountability for their actions. Lindsey shares stories of her upbringing and how she has worked to heal from the indoctrination and conditioning that controlled so much of her life. Because of the ongoing abuse perpetrated by IBLP and its teachings, she continues to tell her story in order to show other survivors there's a community waiting to embrace them as they leave and thrive, in what she calls "real life". She now works as a professional makeup artist and hair stylist in New York and Los Angeles, which she has done for the past 15 years. Her work has appeared in major magazines, beauty campaigns, commercials, films, music videos, and even on the red carpet. Lindsey says her career is the lifeboat that carried her away from the cult upbringing and helped bring color and joy back into her life. Before You Go: Rachel reiterates how individual autonomy and independence threaten the control that cult leaders and manipulators seek through conformity and indoctrination.

It's CULTOBER and TSFU Presents the new season, "The New F Word"!"The New F Word" is a sort of hybrid between "TSFU Presents" and "Binge or Bust?", where Ash and co-host Fallon Morey watch and discuss the Amazon Prime docuseries, "Shiny Happy People", about the Duggar family, their TLC show "16, 17, etc. Kids and Counting", the charismatic leader that they follow, Bill Gothard (a Fundamentalist Christian, aka "Fundie", minster), Christian Fundamentalism and so much more. They also identify sub topics in the doc to look deeper into such as the abuse of women and children in the IBLP (The Institute of Basic Life Principals, run by Bill Gothard), the modern day "freak show" that the TLC network is and the homeschooled Joshua Generation that's being indoctrinated to take over the world. But first...In today's episode Ash and Fallon talk with ex-IBLP survivor Lindsey Williams, an expert makeup artist heavily featured in the Shiny Happy People documentary. The gals talk about various Christian fundamentalist influencers such as problematic YouTubers Paul and Morgan Olliges and Bethany Beal and Kristen Clark from Girl Defined. They also talk about Instagram influencer Lori Alexander aka "The Transformed Wife" and the Tradwife movement.-Big thanks to the research team for this season, Fallon Morey, Peggie Brott and Lindsey Southerland!

Also a bit infuriating. In other words: A culty docuseries. If you've already followed the Duggars, the reality TV mega-family behind the hit show 19 Kids and Counting, you know it's all a lot to process. Shiny Happy People gets deep into the weeds of the story behind their story: Chock-full of disturbing insights into their scandals, their demons, and the radical organization underpinning the whole shitshow. That would be the Institute in Basic Life Principles, an evangelical Christian ministry on steroids.  Lindsey Williams is featured in Shiny Happy People, and is here to talk with us in this episode about her experience as a former IBLP member, and her personal journey from dug in to “fuck this I'm out.” Our chat covers IBLP founder Bill Gothard and his deranged dogma, what it was like living in the orbit of the embattled Duggar clan, and how Lindsey is doing now that she's a self-proclaimed Shiny Happy Warrior for cult awareness.  And just as a heads up, please know that this IBLP organization has some seriously shady philosophies on things like sexual abuse, so this episode may get into gritty territory.

Were you shocked at the parallels between Mormonism and the "Shiny Happy People" documentary on Amazon? If you watched the documentary like we did, the similarities were impossible to ignore. On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon have a fascinating discussion with Lindsey Williams and Chad Harris, both survivors of the IBLP religious organization started by Bill Gothard. We highly recommend that you watch the documentary, "Shiny, Happy People" on Amazon Prime to understand the full scope of this high demand, high control religious movement and what survivors went through. Both Lindsey and Chad appeared in the documentary to tell their story of survival and eventually thriving. Their humor and positive outlook is very inspiring and they are both just wonderful people. It was our pleasure to get to know them better on the episode and we plan to collaborate more in the future. We know you'll feel the same way when you get to learn more about Lindsey and Chad on this very inspiring episode of Mormonish.

Sign up for the giveaway: https://www.mediagratiae.org/the-whole-counsel-giveaway Most Christians with any long-term experience in walking with Christ can sympathize with the sentiment that reading the Bible can be difficult. There are times where we open Scripture and the pages become alive and we meet with God. Other times it can feel—as sad as it is to say—boring. How do we overcome the challenges to the life-long discipline of studying the Bible? The best way to overcome any obstacle in understanding Scripture is to realize why it was written. The Bible is perfectly worded, constructed, and delivered to reveal the character of God to us. If we believe the Bible is the means that God has given us to get to know Him, it will become our most treasured possession and an object of pure delight. To that end, we are beginning a new series of episode this week walking through R. C. Sproul's book, Knowing Scripture. Unlike series we have done before, we won't walk through this book with Dr. John Snyder and one guest. Instead, we are pulling different members of Christ Church New Albany because they each bring an interesting perspective and life experience to the chapters they will be discussing. For this first chapter, we have Lindsey Williams, who has been a member of Christ Church New Albany for 10 years. We have another special aspect to this series. Each episode we will be giving away one resource that we have found helpful in studying Scripture. These will include Bibles, commentaries, and other writings. This week, we are giving away Matthew Henry's One-Volume Commentary on the Bible.

Lindsey Williams was meant for a career in healthcare and urology.  You might think this is an odd choice but when you listen to this episode, you will understand why as a co-founder of FemTech start-up MyUTI, Lindsey is perfectly in her zone. Lindsey's sense of humor, (that of a 14 year old boy), intellect, work ethic and southern charm led her to a successful career working in start-ups focused on urology and cancer.  MyUTI is an online service that allows people to quickly and easily test at home if they have a urinary tract infection and within 24 hours know the best antibiotic to take. Antibiotic resistance is a common problem that results in recurrent, often painful, and sometimes very serious urinary tract infections. When you have a UTI, you want immediate relief. If you have had one, then you are probably nodding your head or taking a deep breath as you recall the unpleasant memory. According to UCSF, around 40 percent of women will have a UTI at some time in their lives. UTI's are the second most conmon infection in the US. A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the bladder, usually through the urethra (urine tube), and begin to multiply. In our conversation, Lindsey shares how she met her co-founder and launched MyUTI. If you are interested in the healthcare sector, FemTech and early stage start-ups, you will love this story about how Lindsey found the path she was meant to live. And, if you or someone close to you gets a recurring UTI, give MyUTI a try!

Shiny Happy People's Lindsey Williams shares how Institute in Basic Life Principles leader Bill Gothard would recruit young girls to headquarters, the inappropriate questions he asked and physical boundaries he repeatedly crossed, how controlling he was over who Lindsey dated, the website where women began connecting the dots about his behavior, the sexual assault allegations that were brought against him, the IBLP's connections to politics, and how Lindsey managed to get out of the group.

Did you know that urinary tract infection is the second most common infection in the United States? Does anyone ever bring that up? We say: maybe, but not nearly enough! As UTIs affect a majority of women on this continent, our clinicians might be relying on obsolete treatment options, and women may feel stigmatized by society. Business of the V speaks with two incredible women dedicated to changing the world of UTIs! In this episode of the Busine$$ of the V, hear from Lindsey Williams and Megan Henken, the Co-Founders of MyUTI. This is the very first platform created with the goal of assisting women suffering from frequent and persistent UTIs by providing dependable testing solutions and support. Lindsey and Megan bring you the best of both worlds, as Lindsey's focus has been in urology, while Megan has been more focused on women's health and sexual wellness. This amazing duo will accompany Rachel and Dr. Dweck in an engaging conversation about how to prevent UTIs, how not to treat it once it has occurred, and how to make the most of MyUTI! You can subscribe or listen to previous episodes of the Busine$$ of the V podcast by clicking here.   TOPICS COVERED: Dweck and Rachel introduce us to the concept of UTIs and offer some advice on how to prevent and treat this infection. If you think you're developing a urinary tract infection, you should consult your gynecologist or internal medicine doctor. Lindsey gives us and overview of hers and Megan's healthcare experience; Lindsey's niche was urology, while Megan focused more on women's health and sexual wellness. Dealing with Stereotypes: UTIs are not all about poor hygiene and unhealthy sexual habits. Dweck emphasizes the importance of making people understand that a UTI is not a shameful condition. Unfortunately, many women simply want to get this problem solved as quickly as possible – “Just get me the drug!” According to Lindsey, it is paramount to identify the root cause of the infection. Step by Step: the entire process of getting a treatment facilitated by MyUTI is thoroughly explained. Rachel brings up over the counter remedies such as Azo and cranberry juice; do these remedies actually work? Dweck emphasizes that MyUTI tests are more than just a simple dipstick; they are actually PCR-based! Lindsey and Megan have connections with urological specialists and telehealth for women, and the test results are processed by a clinical decision support software, which makes them 100% reliable! Megan points out that their primary concern is to put forward accurate and palatable information to the average consumer. MyUTI isn't just about urinary tract infections: there is a lot more to discuss in terms of women's health and pelvic health. HOT FLASH: As many as 4 in 10 women who get a UTI will get at least another one within six months. QUOTES: “Just because it's common doesn't mean it's normal.” (Megan) “UTIs are incredibly common: more than 50% of women have had at least one and many, many more have had recurrent infections.” (Dr. Dweck) “What we're noticing from a consumer perspective is that convenience is trumping a lot of other aspects of healthcare.” (Lindsey) “This is the consumer that we are supporting: the women who knows she shouldn't decide to take the leftover antibiotics that she has under the sink.” (Megan) “Listening from a business model perspective, it sounds to me like the lowest hanging fruit in terms of consumers, are people who have had a UTI before.” (Rachel) “An elderly person can have the progression of a simple UTI to a very serious septic situation very quickly, and those people should be seen by their healthcare providers.” (Dr. Dweck) “We view ourselves as facilitators for access to care, not care providers.” (Lindsey) “I imagine for the people who find you and have these recurring infections, they must think they died and went to heaven.” (Rachel) “Education is really core to our commitment to women, to empower them with knowledge as well as actionable insights.” (Lindsey) “We just really want to be cognizant that we're putting forward accurate and palatable information for the everyday consumer.” (Megan)   FURTHER RESOURCES: Website: www.myuti.com Lindsey @LinkedIn Megan @LinkedIn   LINKS FOR BUSINE$$ OF THE V: Website: www.businessofthev.com Dr. Alyssa Dweck: https://drdweck.com Rachel Braun Scherl: www.sparksolutionsforgrowth.com/about-rachel-braun-scherl/

She's a military spouse and Mama to the best tiny human and a circus of animals. Welcome to Collab with Kiva. Lindsey, how are you?   Lindsay Williams  1:33   I am so good. I'm so excited to be here. Thank you so much for having me on the podcast.    Kiva Slade  1:39   Yes, I am super excited. And just so everyone knows. Lindsay and I have worked together before. She's my brand designer and I cannot say enough things about her working with her the quality of her work the product that she produces, like literally I can girl crush on her all day, every day. So I will tell you that ahead of time. So Lindsay, let's talk about that alphabet soup for a minute and BFA MFA, talk to us about this background that you obviously have in this field of visual communications.   Lindsay Williams  2:13   Yeah, no problem. So I went to undergrad and I got my Bachelor's of Fine Arts in visual communications as a graphic design program. But I also really thought I was going to be a medical illustrator. So I did a double major in the biology department. And then the military happened, I met my husband. And we got married, like two weeks after I graduated and moved directly to Alaska. So I never really got to explore the medical illustration side of things. But I landed a great job with an amazing designer in Alaska, which I never thought I was super panicked when I was like, I will have no job opportunities whatsoever. And so luckily, I found an amazing designer, she was actually out of DC and had gone to Alaska to volunteer with sled dog races, and fell in love and just stayed. So we had a great, we had a great time together. So one of my favorite jobs, and she's an amazing human it's to sprinkle is in Fairbanks, Alaska, but she's just awesome. So yeah, I get that. Yeah. And then during one of the deployments that my husband did, I just went back and got my Masters of Fine Arts, which was really nice. It went through a lot more of what I go through with my clients like doing your ideal client avatars and kind of like coming up with personas. And just going through that process. Like it helps solidify my process now with my clients. So that was really helpful. I really enjoyed that.   Kiva Slade  3:45   Oh my gosh, I love that. Because who would have thought like, Hey, I'm going to Alaska. Wait, there's an amazing designer and actually get to do what I love to do here and live in this beautiful, amazing place that is Alaska. So I absolutely love that. Alright, so this is great. Talking about your process, because obviously I've gone through it and I still am. I think I sit in shock and awe it many times where I'm like, how did you get that out of that that I gave you because what I felt like as a client that I presented you with was like an absolute mess. And you were able to pull out of that something with so much clarity that formed the brand that I was like I'm in love with and that people constantly say, oh my goodness, that looks exactly like you, you know, feels like you, it looks like you all the different things. So talk to us about your process. And then what are some of the pitfalls that you see happen with clients?   Lindsay Williams  4:43   I can definitely do that. Um, so my writing process is not all designers branding process. So I just recommend if you're working with a designer, you have like tough on a discovery call with them. Ask them about their process because it may or may not be a good fit. I'm a designer that I like as much information as I can think of it as a funnel to get to your final brand design. So I like all the information I can possibly find. And I think the thing was branding that can get a little bit confusing is that you're holding space to like, honor your own, because they work with service providers. So that tends to be a little bit more of a personal business. So you're holding space to honor your own services, your own business, your own like values. But then you're also holding space for your ideal client, which they might not be the same as you as far as their design aesthetics, or what they're looking at or what they want. And so you're kind of trying to come to a balance of honoring yourself, obviously, but then making sure that you're attracting your ideal clients. So I go through a process of asking my clients to tell me what their mission vision and values are. And that's actually a pitfall that I see too if you haven't spent time in your own business, figuring out what your mission, vision, and values are, what your ideal client is. And I'm not saying you have to have that entirely nailed down. Because I think especially when you're starting out, you're not even going to know that. So you get 1015 20 clients under your belt. And I've actually worked with some horrible people, like you kind of need to have those experiences to figure out where you want to be. But I think if you can constantly be assessing that part of your business is only going to help your brand designer, whoever you choose, be able to like hone in on something that's going to be good for you. So I take people through a pretty extensive questionnaire at this point. And they tell me all the things about their business, and then they tell me all the things that they know about their potential clients. And so I just kind of visually, I mean, I'm doing like weird internet research and found like rabbit holes of like, the speaker went to this both went to this thing. And so I'm looking at all the things that their ideal client kind of use in the world to make sure that whatever I do for them, makes them feel like they're in this space that their ideal client is looking at. So the ideal client feels welcome but still sets them apart from whatever their competitors are doing. So it's like a tricky balancing act. And so I like to have as much information as possible going forward. So I see problems, like I said, when people are not spending time, like almost jumping the gun, I'm doing brand design. Firstly, I honestly just like to use the font you just administer to get you started if you need to. Just something super simple and take the time to work on that part of your business before you invest in branding, I think that that's a better way to do it, it's really easy to feel like, I have like this signing pretty awesome brand. It's super easy, I get it. I'm a small business owner to like I got it. Because you want to look good when you're presenting yourself to your clients. But I think taking the time to work on those hard questions for yourself is gonna set you up better when you finally make an investment in a brand. So I actually think your brand shouldn't come first, like your visuals shouldn't come first, like necessarily. Another thing is, I think that people can also get really attached to their ideal client avatar, like, they know where they shop, they know what books they read, they know what podcasts they listen to, they know how old they are, they've got a name. And that's great because the entire point of having this ideal client avatar is to kind of remove yourself from making personal decisions for your brand. If you can say, I like the color purple, but Suzy really loves the colors feel like that's a better way to be making decisions if you can kind of put yourself in the headspace of your ideal clients, and honor that. So that's great. But you can get really hung up on that and spend a lot of time focusing on that, that you don't need to be doing. And then you can also start getting really clever, and clever can get you into trouble. Like, for example, like I've done some people, like work for some people, were not naming any names. This was not meant to, hurt anybody. But they are just not really invested in the team of their business. But it took on, like, it got to the point where it was almost like when they were talking about their business, it was like I was going to a travel agency instead of to, like their business where they were like helping people manage other, like manage their own business. Like they're doing, like OBM work, I think. And so, like, you don't want to get so clever that someone's going to show up on your site and be like, Well, what actual business is this? Or what do you actually do? Like, please tell people what you do and how they can work with you. Like, don't get so clever that you forget to tell them those things because that you know, kind of the whole point.   Lindsay Williams  9:46   So yeah, those are some major issues I see and then also just being so cluttered, like pick one thing that you want people to do, and just highlight that, like just choose one message Each thing that you put out, and remember that you, especially with visuals, I think on like Instagram and things like that, I feel like people try to cram all the text into the picture. Remember, you have like captions to support you remember, you can send people to like a link on your website to get some more information that they're interested like, just remember, you don't have to do it all in one shot in like, an eight-point font that runs to the edge of everything and take the ball. Like,   Kiva Slade  10:30   for the most part, I'm so pulled out, we need to keep it simple. We are really trying to overcomplicate so many aspects of the business process, as well as our design process. And it's like I love what you shared, you're like, Okay, look, you cannot fit all of that into one graphic, you need to stop, and let's be real, eight-point font, most of us aren't going to be able to read it. So we're not going to capture all of like, we're not gonna even retain what you've put in there. But also not putting our branding, like, a lot of people do feel like, Oh, you started with Do you have a logo? You're like what you know. And it's like that, that feeling that we need to rush to do this branding. And you're actually saying, Hey, it's okay, have a font and a signature. And let's move forward with really some more of the business basics that are more so solidified before you go to that investment, um, branding. And I love that because that's not I feel like it's typical to what we're pretty much thought to do, or what we should do in this kind of, you know, space that we inhabit. It's like, logo branding, what are your colors? So you know, and you're like, I don't even know what my colors are, you know. And so being able to keep it simple, solidify the work that you're going to do. Keep it simple with tell people how to work with you. Like, honestly, tell them what you do. Like that is something that totally can get glossed over in this. I have this pretty logo and these pretty colors and all of this stuff, but oh, wait, I've never told anyone how they can actually contact me to actually pay me to do whatever it is that I do. Because oh, by the way, I haven't shared that either. Alright, if you guys take nothing else away, keep it simple. Okay.   Lindsay Williams  12:24   Oh my gosh, well, and so I like even. I'm a military spouse. So this happens in the military world to like, keep it even simpler than you think you need to like, if you're using an acronym, please explain what the acronym is like you're in your world. And so you know what those things mean? But like, your audience or your ideal client might not have a clue. Or you might be trying to educate like, okay, maybe you're not even looking for work right now. Maybe you're just trying to educate someone, like, I didn't know until I started working with a couple of them what OBM are like, mission vision values as NBv like, you know, like, once you started, like being in this space, you start knowing these things. But you can't assume that everybody knows those things. Or like, they might mean different things like in the army, it means one thing in the Marine Corps, it means another thing I just made of I have no idea what any of them. I go, but But yeah, as I think keeping it even, like more simple like you kind of have to like, take a step back and think through what someone who might not know anything is looking for it. Just remember what it was like when you're first starting your business. Or if you're first starting your business, just remember how long you can feel out there like Googling, like, what do I need? What am I doing? Like? Like what app is better for like me, and gosh, like I spent last week searching through like different, like email service providers, because I'm gonna start an email list. Like, seriously don't understand what the difference between half of them is, or like why I would pick one or the other. So again, maybe you should just like explain to people what makes you really good at the thing that you're doing that would be helpful. Yeah,   Kiva Slade  14:02   I love that though. And yeah, let's not talk about email service providers, currently was looking to make a change. And I went to one of their one perspective companies website. I could not understand the pricing, like, Oh, I really felt like I was like, so you have a master's degree and you kind of smart some days, but like literally, I stared at the computer screen for so long. And I was really trying to decipher what I was seeing and reading. And so then it said to like, I think it's a book a demo call. Some like, Okay, I did that.    Kiva Slade  14:43   And you have heard of and I did. But the funny thing about it was my interpretation and this goes back to what you were saying about like keeping it simple. When I hit the book of demo call, I was expecting a virtual conversation with someone that was going to be a demonstration, which I thought was the demo was short for. And I was going to get a lay of the land of the software. Yeah, I was wrong, sadly was mistaken. It was an actual phone call with a person from the company to ask me additional questions and basically guide me through the pricing matrix that I could not understand. And then if I wanted to have an actual demonstration call, not even gonna call it a demo. I was going to have to take another step. And at that point, I was just like, oh, is what I felt because even the rep on the phone, she was hilarious, cuz she's like, Yeah, I don't know why the pricing is so complicated. I'm like, Honey, you weren't there your shows me that this is like, not too hard to decipher. She's like, No, it's really complicated. And so basically, a and I've literally like, this is hilarious. So book a demo call. Just so we're all clear. Does that mean the same thing on? Just my record, okay. Like, it does not mean what you're probably thinking it means if you go certain places? It seems like it would be just intuitive. Like, that's what it would be? No, that's not what it is. And you know, but it's like that branding, was there, the nice button in there nice brand colors, and I clicked expecting something that I did not get. So I think it's just like, make it like that that pricing matrix could be so much simpler, like literally glare. That and let's not talk about airline travel, because they, you know, look bad. And yeah, so it's like price this, but oh, if you want to pick your seat, but this if you having two bags, that's I'm like people, I just need one, my number.   Lindsay Williams  17:06   So maybe that's even like a good takeaway at like a don't make it like I tell people that all the time. But like, don't make it hard to get cute. Like if I want to hop on a call, make it easy. Or if I want to email you because sometimes I have a toddler running around in the background who may or may not be happy about the day like, maybe I just want to email you, like, make it so simple for me to just talk to you. Because honestly, it's taking me more than five minutes to figure out what's going on in your website. I've either need to talk to you about it. Or I'm done. I didn't answer that. And so I think that people that are successful, or like people that I found to be successful, like they may not have the prettiest system, they honestly might not have the prettiest grant. There are some people I mean like just look at some of the successful people out there. They're doing amazing things. I really think their brand work is hideous, like or it's like really old, but their back end their services, their customer experience, whatever that is, is all like, that's what they've got nailed down to like, you can do great things with. Sorry about that. I don't even know what happened. But yeah, so you can do great things with like, minimal effort. As far as your brand goes. Like I said, just pick a color, pick a font, hopefully, that'll work. But like, pick something, stick with it. Move forward with that until you're ready to do something until you're ready to bring in a professional, I guess.   Kiva Slade  18:34   Yeah, pretty much. That's it. Like literally everyone buttoned up all the other parts of your business and do those so amazingly well so that when that brand design work comes forward, you're like, it's like added. It's the sprinkles, it's the whipped cream, it's all that good stuff that we'd like to put on top. And it's but it's all supported by a solid business foundation, instead of trying to have your brand support your business, which is kind of flaky and flimsy and proudly moving around like a piece of floss. And that's pretty much like I love how you've shared that. So I want to switch gears a little bit because you and I have conversations quite often via Voxer about a whole myriad of things. But let's talk about finding other like-minded women entrepreneurs or women in business to connect with why is community important or why do you feel the community is important in this process?   Lindsay Williams  19:33   Oh my gosh, so I was like remote working before remote working was cool.   Kiva Slade  19:40   You we're in Alaska just so we are all clear.   Lindsay Williams  19:46   We move around frequently. I've had a bunch of different jobs. And then I just got sick of trying to find a new job at every location. And the conversations are interesting because like technically It's actually illegal for you to ask me as someone who might employ me like how long I'm going to be around as a military spouse or any of that. But the conversation happens. And it's usually like, you can tell by where I've been or my resume, and I'm in a military town, he can tell words, and that I'm probably military spouse. And that's usually like, oh, we were just looking for someone with, you know, who's going to be able to invest in the company for longer, or, Oh, we were looking for someone who had a little more experience, because like, technically, I've only had like entry-level jobs, and like a couple random, you know, like, that kind of thing. So I started working online. And it's kind of lonely to be sitting behind your computer. And like, I'm talking to real people, but it can get really lonely. And so I realized that I kind of needed community. And it can be really difficult to find, just in the spaces that I'm in, in my everyday life to find other people who are doing business things, but also stay at home and maybe have a kid and have a husband that they support. And so it's kind of a weird space that I don't just run into people on a regular basis are like, oh, yeah, like, I'm building my business. I'm doing these things. And so I luckily, through different jobs that we had together, and got to know my business coach, Melissa Froelich, and I joined her free community, a free Facebook group. And through there, I just kind of started. He was there, I actually, I don't know if you know this, but I saw your stuff long before we ever connected. And I was like, I want to work with this girl like   Kiva Slade  21:43   She's like that girl need help.   Lindsay Williams  21:48   So I just started participating, I think it'd be great like, the Facebook communities because I'm hit or miss on Facebook, honestly. But finding like a Facebook group, Facebook community with like, people who are remote working in building our business is probably whatever that community ends up being. Because I think he would then end up making connections within that group like I can make connections with you, we work together, I've talked to you every time I'm making dinners. Apparently, it's like a panic moment. When I think disaster, people still having you I've made other friends through that community, that community, in particular, has just been really where I've spent a lot of time and effort making those connections. But even though the people that I've met in that community are expanded to friends of friends who are like, Oh, you could connect with this person, you might be able to connect with this person. And I recently like, gosh, I think it was last weekend, we just did a retreat, Melissa just hosted a retreat. And that in person, like just the ability to be in a room with other women was so amazing, this group was so willing to be vulnerable with each other and share with each other. And that's, I think the special place of finding other like-minded individuals is that you realize you're not the only one having this particular business struggle, or even a particular like workplace struggle, or this particular toddler struggle. And I didn't realize until I became a mom how much I needed, specifically other moms in my life, like I didn't have the hugest network of mom friends. And that has been life-giving since, like really investing in those relationships, and really focusing on working with other moms too, because they feel like it's just a different dynamic, especially with COVID, as my kid may or may not be at school, she may or may not be running around in the background, she may or not be upset that Daniel Tiger has just like in the middle of one of my meetings, and she needs that taken care of immediately. So that's just yeah, that's made the hugest difference for me. And I think, I don't know if you feel the same way. But there are some times where I need other people to believe in my business when I can't. And that from that community is done for me. Because there are times like sometimes it's just hard and you're not seeing any results. And you're kind of slogging through stuff. And I'm not gonna lie. There are times where like, I'm probably doing all the things I shouldn't be doing except for the one thing that I need to do, and I just need a little like, Hey, you, I thought you're gonna do this thing that you said you were gonna do, like six months ago. accountability from people. So that has been really huge for me. I don't know how you feel. But that's been really important in my journey, I think.   Kiva Slade  24:38   Yeah, no, definitely. I think it's that accountability. It's accountability. It's the vulnerability, you know, like being able to actually experience I think a level of vulnerability with people that you haven't in some cases met physically. Yeah, it's like, we've not actually been in the same space. with one another, but because of so many different, like, common shared interest in common share conversations and things of that sort that we actually feel comfortable to say, like even on boxer like, yeah, today I was about to burn it all down to the ground. Any thoughts are like any thoughts or words of wisdom before I like this match, you know, and it's like someone who's like, so Kiva, seriously, you're not going to do that. And this is why you're not going to do that. Because you've done this, this and this, you know, and you're like, oh, okay, great. Yeah, let me go put the matches away. You know, but it's that level of connectedness that I think we, as humans, we, I think we always have strived for. But I think over the last, I think the combination maybe of remote work, plus, hey, everybody's locked in their own houses. The combination was a weird combination of you, like, I need really, I need more friends anymore. I talk to you about everything. Because it's like you couldn't do some of the things that you would normally do. And then like you shared, your I don't want to say your regular friends. But typically your circle, if there aren't people who are trying to balance an entrepreneurial oil kind of lifestyle, it can be complicated, because there's always like that, you know, my mother even said to me, so do you like what you do? And I'm like, yeah, why? You know, because I think you always think in the back of their heads, they're like, you could just go work for somebody and not have issues, you know? Like, they're in there doing it to be helpful, like, there's so not any shade, there's no, like, we don't believe in you. It's just like, wow, this seems really hard. And there are some days that you seem a little   Lindsay Williams  26:56   more adult, and what you're doing Yeah,   Kiva Slade  27:00   or why you're doing it and you feel it does, it feels like sometimes your nose is so far down to the ground that you don't take stock of the growth that you've had in your business, the progression that you've made. And some of it might be seemingly small in the sense that it's not like business revenue, it's just straight mindset shifts that you've had, oh, my God, you know, that you're like, wait a minute, I'm showing up differently for myself. And that is huge in that trajectory, that is your business journey. But we don't always give ourselves credit for it. So I think having a community is a space to have people who are like reminding you that, please, you are doing amazing. Look at this, this and this, and you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. So they're kind of like your, your cheerleaders, your accountability partners, your whip you back into shape when you're actually trying to fall off the ledge, like all of those things wrapped into one. And so then to couple that with that opportunity to meet them, like in live living color is like   Lindsay Williams  28:12   a plague either, okay. It's a little funny to share it, but like, so, I, I love yoga, that's like, I used to dance for my whole life. And I feel like yoga was like my adult, like, I can't, I felt like I couldn't dance as an adult. Like if I did ballet, like, or it was really hard to find adult ballet classes. And so just be somewhere where you're going. So I chose yoga. And that has been really good for me, and really good for me mentally as well. Like, I just need to move my body and get out of my head sometimes. And that's super helpful. But there's that I feel like at the end of a really good yoga class is just like that peaceful and that, that sound that like, like, everybody's just like, that was really good. And that was this retreat from you like that sound of like women together that are supporting each other and being vulnerable with each other and sharing and kind of like, offering their special strengths and services to support each other. That was what this experience was. And I didn't know it was honestly logistically a nightmare to make it happen. So glad that I did. Because it was what I needed to kind of kick like kicked me into gear for what I need to be doing going into the next year. And so it's something that I'm hoping now that I've kind of like, realized that about myself, because I don't know about you, sometimes I can get going kind of like head down work mode, like in my little office space, do my own thing. And like I'm doing great, this is awesome. And then stuff like that kind of gets me out of my comfort zone and interacting with new people. And it's like, oh, like I kind of needed that. Like, like you need to open the windows and just kind of like air things out and get a little bit of fresh air in there. And so I'm hoping now too, incorporate that more into my life. I wish I had done it sooner, like I feel like, especially as an artist, I feel like it maybe has changed. I really hope it's changed. But this is just speaking from me going to college years ago at this point. But no one really likes, supported us in any way with an understanding of like, as an artist, or essentially like an independent contractor or business, like that's what you are, right? Like, as a thing, like you're either selling your work personally or showing it in galleries, or you're contracting for like, maybe you're working for a design firm, but you're probably doing freelance gigs, a lot, like that's what you are. And I had no foundation in business in my undergrad school, so I felt like I was spinning my wheels for the longest time. And I couldn't get ahead and I kind of just like, didn't know what the right thing to do. So luckily, I had it like I knew Melissa. And I was working as a contractor for a particular client that I just needed out of. And the timing was perfect because they were doing event management. And they're like I needed out or like things have kind of come to a head at that job. I'm not a super confrontational person, but it was just, it was not a good fit. And then they were just not respectful of my time or my boundaries now that I had a kid because like I had kind of had a kid well, we have been working together. And so I contact Melissa. Because I think that's the other thing about finding your people like for me, Melissa is not like maybe the next step ahead. She's like a few steps ahead of me. But each other before we had kids, like we've both had kids, like a few months apart, like I can see her progression and what she's able to do also like her kid clothes. And so I knew, seeing that, but I was like Oh, like this will be possible when my kids go to school more often. Or they, you know, as I could kind of like take a step back and have perspective on that. But I wish I hadn't worked with a business coach sooner I wish someone had told me that sooner. That really helped me   Kiva Slade  32:03   start you, I think it helps move you like you're going to move from point A to point B, it just moves you faster, like you know, like at the airport, like do you want to take the little Walker, you know, like that's motorized next year, you know, and you're like, you're both going in the same direction. But let's be honest, the people on the little motorized a little escalator, like thing, are gonna get there faster, even if your speed walking on that other side. It's just not the same, you know, the and so I think that's like what happens when you work with a coach, it's like you go from A to B, but you just get there faster than you would have if you just did it on your own. So   Lindsay Williams  32:45   distracted along the way, you're not going into like the little kiosk, you're not like you're on the little, you can't get   Kiva Slade  32:51   off, your wheel on your luggage isn't showing up, and you're having to stop and fix it like literally everything is moving right along. So I think that's the part that really it just accelerates, it accelerates that, and like you said, it lessens the distractions that are sometimes just like our own distractions, you know, like you're walking, it's like, oh, gosh, I'm getting so hot. And now I gotta step I gotta take off my jacket, you know, like, wherever I was just on the other side, you know, I wouldn't have to do all of those things. So it lessens our distractions and accelerates, I feel like our progress and how we move forward. So I love that though because I think that just in general is, you know, community. And you know, I always talk about collaboration, like, there's really enough space for every single one of us to shine so brightly to do all of the things that are, you know, our heart's content. But I do think that finding those people and finding those cheerleaders for you is super important. Because there are days when you're going to feel like burning it out to the ground, I mean, you're not going to see your progress, and you're not going to feel like anything is moving forward. Because you don't realize all the seeds, basically, you've planted and you don't see what's taking place under the dirt. And like it's about to start sprouting, but you're at the point of throwing the pot away, you know, and it's like, I don't know, don't throw the pot away. That's why you have to say, don't throw the pot away. Trust me, it's coming. You know, and it's right there and normally right around the corner. But we don't see that. So as we get ready to wrap up. Yeah, I think that you have something to share because I understand horse or something coming up. Tell us more about that.   Lindsay Williams  34:36   I totally forgot about that actually. So I am in the process of recording and by in the process. I mean, I really need to get myself in here and record this thing. I have it all mapped out. That's my preferred black Friday or December. Yeah, work in progress, is I'm putting together a course on how to use Canva like a pro basically. So I want To get you to please stop buying and just want you to stop wasting money actually, like stop buying all the templates, you don't need all the templates, stop buying all the stock photography subscriptions, you don't need all of those if you have Canva. So it's actually like the one thing weirdly, and I have a love-hate relationship with Candace, don't get me wrong, but I don't see how, as a small business owner, like an owner, without a graphic designer on hand, like I don't see how you're going to get by without using Canva for your social media. Or if you have like a small team, like a social media manager that's like contracting with you or something, I just, I don't see how you can do it these days very easily. And if you have the canvas pro subscription, you're paying, you're paying for it already, you're paying for templates, you're paying for photography, you're paying for elements, you're paying for videos, you're paying for all this stuff. So I'm putting together a course to teach you how to set up Canva with a workflow like a designer because realistically, the camera can get messy like there's a bunch of folders and situations that happen. So I'm going to teach you how to set up your brand kits like all your branding, I'm going to show you where to go. If you need to start from scratch like I'm just going to give you some tips and tricks that I like to do with clients. I'm going to show you how to set up all your folders for like design workflows that I think make sense at least. And then I'm going to show you how to take any template that you already have in Canva, or how to search for them. And then customize it so that it'll look like it's on-brand for you without looking like all the other people's templates that use the same template on Canva. And that's not to say anything bad about anyone. Because it's like, once you see it, you can't unsee it, everybody's there in Canva everybody's using the things the only reason you know that someone needs a Canva template is that you're using it too. So you wouldn't know otherwise. But I would really love to do that. Because I think and like until you understand how much system and for my system minded people like is a system like, and that's the magic of grading, like your logo, like your colors, your fonts, like it's all a system. And if you're able to see that it's the system and use that consistently, you're not going to have to spend money on templates, because you're going to be able to customize anything that you have and be able to change it up. So I'm just going to show you some tips and tricks on that. And I have the whole workflow set up. And then I'm going to show you how to export anything that you need. And I'll give you some extra resources if you need them. But that's my goal because I want you to stop wasting money and use the assets that you have, especially as a small business owner, like when your assets are limited, like let's just, you know, get the biggest bang for your buck out of any of these things. But it also is good, I was just thinking this other day, like if you're a VA and wanting to kind of level up your skills like if you're working for multiple clients like this might be a good way to just, you know like you would now have the skills to go in and set up a client's account and manage that with like a better design workflow or like minutes or templates. So whoever needs to just stop wasting money, and you just can't.   Kiva Slade  38:02   That is literally the whole point of having systems is so that we are not out there spending more money than we actually need to. And you're right, we're already paying for Canva Pro. So why do we need to have all of these extras bought or like so not necessary that we're also spending money on and let's not talk about, oh, goodness, all the template bundles that are just sitting in our inbox? Some of us might have gone a step further and uploaded them to Canva. But let's be realistic, we're still not utilizing them. So I love this. And I love this idea. And I know this course is going to be amazing because we all need this. And we need to utilize what we're already using in a much better way. And you're absolutely right. I had to laugh when you're like once you see it, you can't unsee it you're like Yeah, exactly. You're like you really do know when it's like because you're like, oh wait, I've used that template too. Even though there might have been some color changes, you're like, I yeah, I might have used that same exact one just the other day. Thank you kindly. I love that, Lindsey. So super awesome. And where can we find out more about this course?   Lindsay Williams  39:19   Oh, you can find out more about this course on my website is Lindsey Williams design comm or you can follow me on Instagram at Wendy Williams design or I'm on Facebook, I think at Lindsay Williams design. I hope that that's correct. Like apparently I'm all over the place. But if you can find me at Lindsay Williams design, then you're doing well. And so, you know feel free to like yummy or whatever. But yeah, I'm really excited because I want you to stop. I also just want to take away the overwhelm of creating visuals. Like I get you can just sit there and spend three hours and then just be annoyed by what you did. And some of that is just like taking a step back and taking in The brass and like going, I don't know for a walk or something and coming back to it. Because it's probably not as bad as you think you never know, it really isn't, you just need a minute like, go do something, go eat some food, stop being hangry, you'll be fine. They just want to like take away the overwhelm and give you some techniques to like just, you know, change those things. Change that and you're like 80% of the way there. And then you can fiddle with the rest. But   Kiva Slade  40:25   yeah, I love it. Awesome. So thank you so much, Lindsay, for being here today I so appreciate it. So remember everyone keep it simple, and in some cases even more simple than you thought it needed to be. Because you are doing a level of educating when it comes to sharing about your business and people may not know some of the terms you use or what those actually mean. And they can actually mean different things in different industries. Keep it simple solidify your business first before you go spending all the big bucks on making everything pretty. And also find your people find your tribe, your community, but connect with others because this journey can definitely be a lonely one. And it doesn't have to be so you want to find those people who will hold you accountable. Be your cheerleader, also just like commiserate with you on those days when that's just all that's needed. In our case actually share what are you cooking for dinner. Okay, so I'm gonna go make this so you never know what those friendships might lead to. But definitely make the time to invest in making those friendships.
