They’re based out of Hawaii. In part II, we’ll bring on Katy Comber and Patty Kline Capaldo, the amazing founders of the Creative Light Factory outside of Philadelphia. In Part III, I’ll share my thoughts and insights on the coworking space experience, why one size doesn’t fit all, and what you could do to get started in coworking space journey if that’s what you choose to do for your creative project, side hustle or business at this time. Think of this as a short list of lessons learned and other insights you can take and put into place for your own situation. Who are Kim and Pua?

Annett Bone is the founder and host of The DancePreneuring Studio Podcast where she guides her listeners on a journey of transformation inspired by dance, life, and business. The podcast is a reflection of all the lessons learned upon returning to dance after a 20-year hiatus. Because she returned to her passion for dance after giving it up for 20-plus years, she is constantly putting herself in uncomfortable situations where she can grow. She has a Bachelors Degree in Dance from the University of California Irvine, which at the time was ranked third in the nation for dance programs, behind Julliard and New York University. When she's not creating content or doing online marketing work, she can be found practicing yoga or checking out coffee shops other than Starbucks. Fun facts: 1) Korean is her first language. 2) She was once a fan club president for Puerto Rican boy band Menudo—popular back in the '80s. Quotes from Annett It's really interesting, this whole entrepreneurial journey and the educational conferences that are available, which I'm really thankful for now because there's so much to choose from and you can get from it what you want to get out of it. (11:00) I'm all for women empowerment, but more than that, I'm all for human people empowerment because we're all the same. (15:59) Again, there's that balance of being proud, knowing your value and who you are and where you come from and honoring the amazing cultural backgrounds that people come from, but at the same time, not using that as a crutch. (19:10) You need to be thankful for the lessons that you learned, and you'll find that as you become more thankful and have gratitude for the things you have learned—the good things that have come out of situations—things will change. It might not change overnight. It might be apparent to you as quickly as you want, but just deciding to make that switch of 'I'm not gonna be a victim anymore, I'm going to decide to make these changes whatever it is.' (20:17) What You’ll Learn How doing the uncomfortable tasks can allow for the most growth in one's personal development journey How to find that line between taking a strategic approach and getting out of one's comfort zone The importance of conferences for continuing education for one's entrepreneurial journey Personal branding, styles of marketing oneself, especially as a woman, and finding that middle ground between self-promotion, valuing oneself, yet not being overly aggressive How she overcame the whole "victim" mentality in order to get the kind of results that she wanted Productivity habits and rituals that keep her going Websites: annettbone.com Social Media: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter Other Listening Options: Individual player or full player view on website: http://lorirochino.com/podcast-2/
The last month and a half have been filled with adventures and much learning. I'd gotten out of my comfort zone by participating in the PMx Competition at Podcast Movement, which is a Tedx style talk with a podcast focus. A big shout out to the organizers and participants I got to meet! While competitive, it was definitely more collaborative and I'm super thankful for both the opportunity and chance to connect with cool people! There's so much to share, and quite honestly I am currently figuring out how to break down all this goodness without the overwhelm. More details to come in another episode! In the meantime, I'm excited to introduce the next guest to Simply Designed Life Podcast, Annett Bone. My conversation with Annett is broken down into two parts. In the first part, we discuss her entrepreneurship journey and how following her intuition was critical to getting into alignment with her goals. In the second part, we talk about strategic learning, which I'm particularly excited about! Shiny object syndrome and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) are very real in this age of distraction. She gives some great tips on how to get focused enough to stay the course.

Fun facts: 1) Korean is her first language. 2) She was once a fan club president for Puerto Rican boy band Menudo—popular back in the '80s. Quotes from Annett Not every business model is for everyone and for someone to try to fit you into their box is not honoring to you and not honoring to them because everybody has a different path. (5:37) In terms of the entrepreneurial journey, I didn't honor the signals within myself, of what felt right, what didn't feel right, what didn't agree with my internal compass, and that's one of the biggest mistakes I did. (6:18) For me, that's when things really started to change when I started to change on the inside, and things on the outside started to change—when I started focusing more on that. (12:57) I just never thought that this audio thing would open up opportunities and also help me grow—like you said speaking in front of people and the immediate feedback—you're like 'Wow, I actually made a difference to this person.' I don't know what it was but it's very gratifying knowing that you can have a positive effect on someone by just expressing what has gone on in your life and hopefully giving them something they could implement as well and I think that's what it's all about. (29:35) What You’ll Learn Annett's background growing up with an entrepreneurial family who encouraged her to take the traditional route—go to college, get a job—which didn't resonate with her. It's okay not to fit into other people's idea of an entrepreneurial journey.

I’ve always been organized and somewhat OCD, but after five moves including melding lives with my husband, dog and eventually son, I wasn’t able to be as organized as I would have liked to be. I needed a simpler solution and was tired of having stuff just for the sake of having stuff. While I always thought I had simple habits, all the excess clutter accumulated over time proved that maybe I wasn’t living so simply. So I joined the simplicity movement and went on a decluttering spree. But somewhere between paring down half my wardrobe and kitchenware, I realized there wasn’t just one way to simplify life. While I would have liked to keep things somewhat minimalist, I found it was difficult to do with a family. And quite honestly, I liked having my son’s artwork on the kitchen walls and a few blankets and pillows on the couch to cozy up to. What you will learn in this episode: Why we accumulate too much stuff Why merchandising forces us to buy stuff we don't need Lori's tips on decluttering (not what you'd expect!) How to organize your life (and your stuff) For more click here
Do you have too much stuff? Are you addicted to shopping (Amazon anyone)? I decided to peer behind the veil of minimalism, which Lori Rochino, Declutter Coach describes as the concept of living with less stuff in order to enjoy more, and living more intentionally with the people who matter most. It's a way to counteract the overwhelm people feel with consumerism and digital overload. Listen to this podcast to learn why: you can't let go of things you always want more things but don't feel satisfied once you get them what to do about it!
