Today's guest is life coach Brenda Bloczynski, who reached out to us to share about a friendship group she's a part of with her church. It began as a “favorites” group that met via Marco Polo – a video messaging mobile app – right at the pandemic's start. They shared favorite kitchen gadgets, make-up lines, hacks, etc.Over time, it grew to become so much more. After lockdown, the women began meeting for regular dinners, breakfast clubs, and girls' weekends. When one member was diagnosed with cancer, the rest gathered behind to support her. Digital connection is “at our fingertips” all the time, but Brenda's story shows us that what's important is how we USE these tools. Hers is a beautiful example of how something so simple can grow into a flourishing, supportive community.In this episode you'll hear about:Brenda's story of how the Marco Polo group started and grew into what it is today – and how much of its success derives from being PRESENT with other peopleHow people are often scared of big groups – but if you feel the magic of a group, you often want to bring others in so they can feel it tooThere is no “equal exchange” in friendship – and why instead, we should think about nourishing our friends using our natural gifts How, as adults, society really champions the “catch-up” friends – but here, Brenda found a group of women to DO LIFE with as it happens, day by day.Group vacations, which are often most successful when you can break up and come back together at various pointsHow Brenda's friend group rallied around one of the members who was diagnosed with cancerResources & LinksConnect with Brenda on her website or on Instagram.Like what you hear?

8 Reasons the Marco Polo app deserves your attention I'm case you have been living under a rock- Marco Polo is basically a combination of FaceTime and a walkie-talkie. My bold opinion is that if you are not leveraging the app Marco Polo, you are seriously missing opportunities. Here are just 8 massive benefits of making this tool a daily driver for your personal and business communication. 1 -Be notified of your friends' birthdays, and if they aren't someone you would call..send them a message more meaningful than a lame text! 2 - Text messages strip away your personality from what you communicate.

Helicopters, Ferraris, non-stop content creation and endless energy. This is what the entrepreneur life is all about. My reality is a beat up iPhone 7, forgetting to post on IG and bags under my eyes so large they wouldn’t even fit in the overhead compartment. I am the world’s worst entrepreneur. My IG feed is full of amazing quotes pushing me onward, pics of entrepreneurs in the most exotic locations and countless rags to riches stories. It sounds awesome and some days I feel like I come close to touching this ideal but many days (and late nights) I feel like this life is a million miles from my reality. To be honest, I'm fairly certain that I'm the world's worst entrepreneur.  I don't have a helicopter, I don't always exhibit the "Top Ten Entrepreneurial Habits", and I probably work way too much. To be honest I drink too much coffee, don't sleep enough, buy more books than I read, and sometimes I simply want to chill out with a Moscow Mule and watch a few episodes of the Office. So I'm either the worst....or I'm simply normal.   The reality is that life rarely looks like we see in media....it's way more human.  So if you're struggling to get it all done, you're normal.  If you're struggling to make the right choices daily, you're normal.  If you're working way too much and are daily tempted to throw in the towel, you're normal. So if you're like me what can you do? 1. Do what you can do. Make priorities and stick with them.  You're not Superman, you can't do everything.   2. Keep at it.  You will be tired, you will work too much, you will be underpaid.  BUT if you keep at it you can have a life like no other. 3. Find community.  You may feel like you're alone, but you're not.  Find others that are on the same journey and travel together.  Feel free to download the Marco Polo App and let's have a conversation.   Ready to finish 2019 with a bang? Let's Talk!   Welcome to the Onward Creatives podcast. A weekly podcast that helps you find clarity and take action so you can build and grow your brand. Each week we go beyond all the hype and the noise and we help chart a course to build a business your customer will love.  Don't do it alone!  Join the community! Onward Creatives Facebook

The Stop Writing Alone podcast has discussed writing prompt groups, critique groups and partners, but not accountability groups. This week Nicole Rivera discusses the two accountability groups she is a member of, how they are designed and how they “meet” in order keep each other accountable. If you have more questions about how this works, please call the Stop Writing Alone voicemail-box and ask away! The number is 646-907-9607.

Okay, so we're gonna talk about Marco Polo app. It's called video walkie talkie, if you look in the App Store that's how they advertise it, is a video walkie talkie. Now when my friend was first telling me about it, I was thinking, "Well why don't I just... if you wanna talk on video, why don't we just send videos back and forth through texting app or something like that?" But there's a couple reasons why this app is much better… In this episode we talk about the Marco Polo app and why it is such a great way to communicate with others. This episode is sponsored by your FREE MailChimp Email Marketing How-to. If you have a business, you know you need an email list. But, what if you're just starting out, and your budget is close to zero. Or, maybe your budget is actually zero when it comes to using an email service provider right now. What are you gonna do? In this free gift that I have created for you, it's called MailChimp Email Marketing How-to. I show you how to use MailChimp's free service. So, MailChimp lets you use their service for free, with a few limitations for up to 2000 people on your list. And that sounds great. But, here's the problem with that. The way they have it setup, it's not intuitive on how to use their free service if you have more than one thing that you're giving away. So, basically you create these lists. But it's only good for one thing that you're giving away. If you go to give something else away, then it changes the first thing. Does that make sense? Well, anyway, you're gonna grab this free gift. Let's say to get people on your email list, you have two to three different freebies that you're trying to give away. But to set up to the three lists, it's a bit tricky.

Key Takeaways: Students love quantity sometimes more than quality. There are so many things that are keeping you from succeeding when you're creating an app. You're not thinking about how to protect families or kids. Let's opt out of this for a while. I think parents need to have a little more courage and talk to their kids directly. Is it okay for Marco Polo to get our phone contacts You are not wrong to worry about this app. I can think of many apps that are developed in a different country. They always gained contacts from you then give you a little bit of a reward for information. I think the next question you ask yourself is what do I know about this company? Your data is exchanged for an experience. It is like a game, walkie-talkie video. It allows you to leave video messages to friends and family. Think of the intent of the app. You have to understand the founder's theory. I believe that the exchange is well worth your phone number. With Marco Polo, I'll have hours of great experiences and product in exchange for very little that I am giving away. The Danger of Data Sharing There is no way a private company can assure you–other than show user privacy policies– that their mission is to do something else with your data. Positive Attributes of Marco Polo App As a parent who knows the app, I love Marco Polo. Because of its close network, it's used primarily as a telephone. It's not meant to go find new connections that you don't know. Inherently, there's no shareable content made in Marco Polo that you're trying to go get followers with. It creates a closed loop system that imports convenience. If I'm buying my kid a phone, out of all the apps that exist it would probably be one of the few that I would install and let them use to communicate with me (before Instagram and Facebook). It would be a core app that's like iMessage. Since I've watched and seen how it works as a parent, I trust this company enough that I'm not worried about the 12 contacts in my kid's phone getting shared. I think the app encourages a lot of good behavior. I've been around enough bad apps in my life. Working and building that model for them, I know the conversations and the intent and the kind of features that are used by apps that have a more malicious growth hacking mechanism. I've seen both sides that have a good intuition of what apps are after and what they're trying to accomplish. What is one thing you want parents to know to keep their kids safe online I'm a bigger advocate of abstinence than I am of safe social. I hear so many parents today going through this dilemma when their kid are preteens. "I don't want to give them a phone or I don't want them to have Instagram but everybody has it." Kids keep insisting and many parents don't have the power to fight through that and say, "stay free of either getting a phone or getting social media like Instagram and SnapChat." We're letting the kids rule at this point. I'm abstaining from the technology for my kids and find things that are positive replacements. Try to find other communities where parents have chosen to opt out of the phone race of getting kids more stuff sooner and sooner. Let's opt out of this for a while. I think parents need to have a little more courage and do the same and talk to their kids directly.
