2024 Olympian and recent Pan Pacs silver medalist in the 200 Breast Josh Matheny has announced he's leaving Indiana University in search of a new training home. In June, after having a rough first season as a pro swimmer and not performing how he'd hoped at the Pro Swim in Indianapolis, Matheny decided he needed a change. He asked USA Swimming National Team Director Greg Meehan if he could train at the Olympic Training Center until Pan Pacs, to which Meehan agreed. After discussing this change with Indiana coach Ray Looze as well, Matheny spent his last 6 weeks of summer preparing for Pan Pacs in Colorado Springs. In Irvine at Pan Pacs, Matheny neared his best time in the 100 breast, 59.2, making the final and ultimately finishing 4th, and set a PB in the 200 Breast at 2:08.2, earning silver. In the coming weeks, Matheny will talk with numerous teams throughout the country and hopes to find a good training fit for the next two years in the lead up to LA2028.

Over the past twelve years, the walls and shop shutters of Upper Manhattan have been gradually filled by giant paintings of climate-threatened birds, inspired by the species depicted by the artist John James Audubon, who lived in the area. Emily Raboteau's ‘Lessons for Survival' (2024) takes these murals, along with Raboteau's own photographs of local birds, as a way into exploring the challenges faced by a mother of two Black sons in New York City living through Hurricane Sandy, the first Trump presidency, Covid and mounting climate breakdown. In this episode, Meehan and Peter talk through the different aspects of Raboteau's project of survival, from experiences of gentrification and medical racism to the models it offers for dealing with existential threat and ‘justifiable rage', and Raboteau's stylistic achievement of bringing together the urban and natural environment.

Most bar owners don't think about financing until they need money—and by then, the decisions they've already made can determine whether a lender says yes or no. In this episode, I'm joined by Matt Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca to break down what actually makes a bar or restaurant lendable, why your financial foundation matters long before you apply, and where owners get themselves into trouble with the wrong types of financing. We get into clean books, business structure, bank accounts, personal and business credit, CPAs, merchant cash advances, equipment financing, lines of credit, SBA loans, and why the money you borrow should match exactly what you're using it for. Because getting access to capital isn't just about finding the right lender. It's about building a business a lender can actually understand and confidently lend to. CreditBanc.io — Check their website and learn moreCreditbanc.io/business-credit-builder — Learn how to build business credit www.youtube.com/@Credit_Banc — Watch their business finance videos https://www.youtube.com/@theliquidlunchproject—  Get small business and finance insights @MatthewRMeehan — Follow Matt on social media @LuigiRosabianca — Follow Luigi on social media

It's a candid discussion about growth, leadership, and learning to embrace the challenges that come with one of the most visible jobs in the sport.Whether you're a swimmer chasing your next goal, a coach developing the next generation, or simply a fan of elite sports, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the future of USA Swimming and the mindset required to build champions for years to come.Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.FOLLOW GREG ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregmeehan/SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSdreamrecovery.io — use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% offSynergy Dryland — https://market.teambuildr.com/programs/synergy/synergy-individual-program/checkout#UnfilteredWaters #Swimming #GregMeehan #USASwimming #Olympics

At Chaco Canyon in the New Mexico desert lie the ruins of a once vibrant and extensive Ancestral Puebloan civilisation. Sometime in the 12th century the society fell into decline, as a fifty-year drought may have helped to push the settlement to collapse. ‘How is it that a complex society like Chaco could survive one drought but not another?' Roy Scranton asks near the start of ‘Impasse: Climate Change and the Limits of Progress' (2025). For Scranton, the fate of the civilisation at Chaco Canyon is a microcosm for the crisis now confronting humanity. The challenges we face, from climate change to political instability, are so intractable in part because of their complexity. In this episode, Meehan and Peter discuss Scranton's analysis of our predicament and his proposal for ‘ethical pessimism', based on resistance to our bias for optimism, as a way of coping with an uncertain future.

Through folktales, memoir and hard science, Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass argues for the intertwining of Indigenous knowledge systems and empirical science, to support ‘mutual flourishing' between humans and the environment. Braiding Sweetgrass was an enormous success for a small press publication, becoming a bestseller and a touchstone for readers searching for alternatives to extractivist realpolitik. In this episode, Meehan and Peter look at the most compelling features of Kimmerer's technique – reminiscent of Darwin at his best – and where her book risks scientific overreach.

Today, Shay interviews NDSU Extension Livestock Environmental Stewardship Specialist, Miranda Meehan about how cattle water quality affects intake, performance, abortions, central nervous system disorders, and death. Meehan explains how geology influences salts, sulfates, TDS, nitrates, and phosphorus in springs, ponds, creeks, and wells, with drought concentrating minerals and increasing risk; she also notes regional concerns such as higher nitrates in the Southern Plains.   She recommends testing at least a week before turning cattle into a pasture and more often during drought, using simple screening tools like handheld TDS meters and sulfate strips, then submitting samples for lab panels (pH, sulfates, TDS, nitrates) when elevated. If water is unsafe, options include fencing off sources, hauling water (including possible ELAP/FSA assistance), and longer-term infrastructure like wells, pipelines, or rural water, while checking aquifer test data. They also stress monitoring for cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms, which can occur earlier or later in the year and can kill within 15 minutes, using visual checks and tools like trail cameras.   Learn more about what Vence could look like on your operation here: https://bit.ly/4kfWrCG   Learn more about Noble here: https://bit.ly/3DD7uG0   Catch more conversations like this one and learn more at https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/    00:41 Meet Miranda Meehan 01:05 Why Water Quality Matters 02:43 What Impacts Water Sources 05:11 How Often to Test 05:56 Easy Screening Tools 07:38 Reading Lab Results 09:47 Fixing Bad Water 11:50 Blue Green Algae Danger 13:56 Tech for Monitoring

The idea that a river is a living being has important legal consequences. But it also has imaginative consequences, which can, in George Eliot's words, ‘enlarge the imagined range for self to move in'. In ‘Is a River Alive?' (2025), Robert Macfarlane travels with the lawyers, Indigenous people, scientists and others who are working to protect rivers in Ecuador, India and Quebec, and challenges himself to see rivers in a way that widens the category of life. In this episode, Meehan and Peter assess Macfarlane's quest and look at the different kinds of writing he deploys along the way, including adventure story, biography and philosophy. They also look back to the origins of the rights of nature movement at the University of Southern California in the 1970s and consider whether the choice between seeing a river as either a resource or a fellow being is a false one.

Bernie Meehan spent over 40 years on the front lines as both a paramedic and firefighter — responding to emergencies most people never have to witness. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Bernie opens up about the realities of a career spent in the chaos of life and death situations, the calls that stuck with him long after the sirens stopped, and what four decades in emergency services really does to a person. He breaks down what first responders actually deal with behind the scenes — the adrenaline, the trauma, the toughest moments — and the perspective on life that only comes from spending 40 years running toward danger when everyone else runs away. _____________________________________________ #Paramedic #Firefighter #FirstResponder _____________________________________________ Connect with Bernie Meehan: https://www.facebook.com/bernie.meehan/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 40 Years as a Paramedic and Firefighter — Bernie's Story 00:20 Growing Up in the Country and How It Shaped Everything 01:08 The Family Influence and the Moment He Knew Fire Service Was His Calling 02:11 His First Steps Into EMS and the Fire Service 02:52 Why He Chose Fire Service Over Everything Else 04:08 The Real Relationship Between Fire Service and Law Enforcement 05:06 What a Career as a Paramedic Actually Looks Like 06:12 Early Paramedic Training and the Manhattan Stories Nobody Forgets 07:18 How EMS Has Changed and Why It's Harder Than Ever 08:21 Paramedic vs Nurse — The Differences Nobody Talks About 09:44 How the Drug Crisis Changed Paramedic Work Forever 11:02 EMS Then vs Now — How the Opioid Epidemic Changed Everything 12:54 The Career Defining Moments That Changed How He Sees the Job 13:57 Why Paramedics and Firefighters Don't Get the Recognition They Deserve 15:07 Urban vs Rural EMS — The Quality Gap Nobody Discusses 17:17 Fire Service in Rural Areas and the Ambulance Access Problem 18:52 What It Takes to Become a Firefighter Today vs Then 20:16 The Training Education and Ongoing Learning Nobody Warns You About 22:23 The Biggest Challenges Facing New Firefighters Today 23:28 The Non Emergency Calls That Take Up More Time Than You Think 25:06 Holiday Hazards and the Thanksgiving Stories He'll Never Forget 27:29 How They Prioritize Calls and the Unusual Emergencies Nobody Expects 29:23 The Moments of Real Danger and What Command Leadership Really Looks Like 31:03 How Experienced Responders Predict Emergency Outcomes 32:13 The Most Common Calls and the Hidden Problem of Hoarding 34:34 Hoarding Obesity and the Unique Rescue Challenges Nobody Talks About 38:33 The Real Causes of House Fires and the Safety Culture That Could Prevent Them 40:31 How Modern Technology Is Changing Firefighting and Response Times 43:33 On the Scene — Incident Priorities and the Animal Rescues Nobody Expects 46:09 Coping With Tragedy — How First Responders Handle the Emotional Toll 51:10 How Mental Health Support for First Responders Has Finally Started to Change 54:28 Why There Is Never a Quiet Day in EMS — The Workload Reality 57:24 How Public Perception of First Responders Has Shifted 59:07 The Teamwork Between First Responders That Saves Lives 01:00:50 The Most Difficult Calls — Crashes and How Auto Technology Is Changing Everything 01:06:37 The Practical Safety Tips That Could Save Your Life in a Car Emergency 01:10:58 Holiday Emergencies — Fireworks Nightclubs and the Calls Nobody Plans For 01:14:50 The Unique Calls From Nightlife and What They Taught Him 01:20:26 How First Responders Are Adjusting to New and Changing Risks 01:26:39 Supporting Mental Health After Tragedy — What Actually Works 01:33:31 What It's Really Like Responding Inside Prisons and Institutions 01:37:37 Fire Safety in Prisons and Large Events — What Nobody Talks About 01:41:11 Mental Health Advocacy and the Long Road to Trauma Recovery 01:49:19 His Advice for New First Responders and How the System Needs to Change 01:51:31 Career Reflections — What 40 Years on the Front Lines Taught Him 01:54:10 Why He Embraced the Chaos and What It Gave Him 01:56:00 Final Thoughts — The Power of Change and What Comes Next _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

I have had the privilege of knowing Paul Meehan for many years. I am a better person for it. There is no finer handshake or twinkle in the eye. Paul is a serial entrepreneur, a lover of family, life, and is guided by a higher purpose to help others. Did I mention that Paul and his wife, Melissa, created, self-funded, and built one of the world's most quietly brilliant brand stories by refusing to shout, by embodying the expression: Less is More.   In a category crowded with sugar, swagger, and sameness, they created NUTRL Vodka, a brand defined by restraint, simplicity, taste, trust and brilliant creativity.   This episode radiates positivity and possibility. I encourage dreamers and doers, creative thinkers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to celebrate the human in humanity. Paul is a partner, father, strategist, entrepreneur, music lover, mentor and a proud Canadian. What you will learn is that success is not luck. It is listening. Learning. Knocking on doors after they have slammed shut. Finding joy in better. Making music when everyone else is trying to make noise.   I then invite Kim Mason to provide context on what it means to be an entrepreneur and to care.  One of Kim's big takeaways is this: 'It's not about demonstrating empathy, it is about being empathetic.'   

We just wrapped up our 47th round of Paper Camp a few weeks ago, and I am still riding high from working with this cohort.  It's an intense four weeks, for me, for our coaches, for our students. But so much progress happens in a short amount of time. I love hearing about their light bulb moments, their clarity, answering their questions, and there's so much forward momentum that comes.  One thing that is really important to me inside of Paper Camp is bringing in a variety of voices because there is no one singular way to build a business right? I want our students to hear directly from people who are doing this work in different ways.  During our weekly coaching calls, they get to learn from shop owners, wholesalers, sales consultants, and other experts that are in the wholesale field. People who are helping to develop and are currently utilizing relevant new sales and marketing strategies, which is what we focus on in Paper Camp: wholesale sales and marketing strategies. Today on the podcast, I wanted to share a small piece of this with you. This episode is an excerpt from our coaching call in Paper Camp that was centered on exhibiting at trade shows. I asked Paper Camp alums Karen Sawyer-Meehan of Pier Six Press and Alyson O'Connor of Rust Belt Love to come and share their experiences with the class.  Both are members of my Advisory Board mastermind, and between the two of them, they have done dozens of wholesale trade shows, including several this past winter.  They're sharing what's working, what they experienced at the winter shows, and sharing a lot of other insight.  In this snippet, you're going to hear them talk about the shows that they've participated in, how they knew they were ready to exhibit, and how they decide which trade shows are worth the investment.  We know these things cost a lot of time, money and energy and we want to make sure if you are going to say yes to a show that you're choosing the right ones for you.  Today's episode is brought to you by our Paper Camp program. Paper Camp is our wholesale coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know to build strong wholesale foundations. Over the course of 4 weeks, we tackle your product line, sales tools, and marketing plan, and we even talk about how to exhibit at trade shows if that's what you want to do. We start with your product line and go into everything from how often you should be releasing new products to ensuring that your numbers are sustainable for the wholesale market and their price for profit. Then we move into sales tools you must have for selling wholesale so you make a strong first impression with buyers like catalogs and your terms and conditions. Then, we cover marketing strategies and ways to reach various store owners.  Each week's teachings build on the previous week, and we host weekly live engaging coaching calls to answer all of your questions. We will open enrollment for our next round of Paper Camp soon, and we sell this program out every time we run it. Join the wait list and you'll get early access to enroll.

The ‘great acceleration' is a term used to describe the dramatic surge in the 1950s of both human and earth systems indicators that marked a shift from a relatively stable planetary state to one that's characterised by increasing environmental instability. Alongside measures of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane levels, this shift can be tracked in numerous other areas of human activity, such as GDP, financialisation, foreign direct investment and the spread of telecommunications. In ‘The Burning Earth' (2024), Sunil Amrith uses history as a way of understanding why we got to this moment, drawing on multiple strands of human activity over more than 500 years to trace the origins of environmental crisis. In this episode, Meehan and Peter interrogate some of Amrith's major themes and examples, from the damaging impact of 18th-century ideas of freedom on our relationship to the natural world, to his analysis of postwar environmentalism through the figures of Hannah Arendt, Rachel Carson and Indira Gandhi.

What happens when nutrition advice becomes loud, simplified, and everywhere you turn? In this episode, Dr. Marianne welcomes back Kathleen Meehan, RD (@therdnutritionist), an anti-diet, fat-positive dietitian, to unpack the current wave of nutrition myths shaping how people think about food, health, and eating disorder recovery. From protein obsession to processed food panic, this conversation brings nuance back into a space that often lacks it. The Rise of Protein Obsession in Diet Culture Protein is everywhere right now. Social media, food marketing, and even medical guidance are emphasizing high-protein intake as the key to health. Kathleen explains that while protein is important, the current messaging lacks context and balance. This trend often leads to the quiet demonization of carbohydrates and reinforces rigid food rules. It is especially visible in conversations around GLP-1 medications, where protein is framed as a solution for muscle preservation without acknowledging that overall nourishment matters more. Protein cannot compensate for not eating enough. A balanced, consistent pattern of eating is what supports both physical and mental well-being. How Nutrition Messaging Fuels Disordered Eating Many people enter eating disorder recovery already carrying fear and guilt around food. Kathleen highlights how even well-meaning nutrition advice can contribute to disordered eating when it is oversimplified. Messages about avoiding certain foods or “doing it right” can increase anxiety and disconnect people from their internal cues. Over time, this reinforces the belief that food must be controlled, measured, or optimized to be acceptable. Recovery often requires moving away from rigid rules and toward flexibility, trust, and consistency. The Pressure to Optimize Food and Health Wellness culture increasingly encourages people to track and fine-tune every aspect of their health. From wearable devices to food tracking, there is pressure to optimize eating, sleep, and metabolism. This level of monitoring can create stress and a false sense of control. Kathleen emphasizes that focusing on the big picture is often more helpful than micromanaging details. A sustainable relationship with food does not require constant measurement. Zooming out allows for a more realistic and supportive approach to health. Processed Foods and Eating Disorder Recovery Processed foods are often framed as harmful, but this conversation challenges that narrative. Kathleen emphasizes that processed foods are essential for accessibility, convenience, and consistency. For many people, including those with ARFID, processed foods may be the most reliable or tolerable options. Removing them can reduce intake and increase distress. In eating disorder recovery, having access to preferred foods is often more important than striving for an idealized version of eating. Processed foods can support nourishment, especially when life is busy, resources are limited, or sensory needs are present. Food Access, SNAP, and Nutrition Myths Food choices are shaped by access, time, and resources. Kathleen and Dr. Marianne discuss how public conversations about SNAP benefits and food choices often ignore these realities. Shelf-stable and convenient foods can be essential for individuals and families managing work demands, limited access to fresh foods, or financial constraints. Judging food choices without considering these factors oversimplifies complex realities. Nutrition cannot be separated from social context. A broader view of health includes access, stress, and systemic factors. ARFID, Sensory Needs, and Flexible Eating For individuals with ARFID, expanding food options requires safety and flexibility. Kathleen emphasizes that access to preferred foods supports both nourishment and emotional well-being. Pressuring people to eat in a certain way, especially under rigid “clean eating” expectations, can increase distress and reduce intake. Lowering pressure and supporting consistency helps create a more sustainable relationship with food. This approach is especially important for neurodivergent individuals and those navigating sensory sensitivities. A More Nuanced Approach to Nutrition This episode returns to a central theme: nutrition is not meant to be rigid or perfect. Instead of focusing on exact numbers or rules, a more supportive approach asks whether you are eating enough, including a variety of foods, and meeting your needs over time. If nutrition advice feels extreme or overwhelming, it may not be helpful. A flexible, big-picture approach supports eating disorder recovery far more than rigid guidelines.

Jeff sits down with Joe Meehan, founder of Optima Vita Consulting, whose path to wellness coaching wound through pre-med studies, a professional basketball career in Switzerland, nine years coaching Division I ball at Bucknell University, and ultimately a master's degree in medical physiology and aging from the University of Florida School of Medicine. Joe shares how all of those experiences converged into a one-on-one wellness coaching practice built around four pillars – nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management – and why neglecting even one of them tends to unravel the others. The conversation quickly becomes a candid, practical deep-dive into sleep, as Jeff opens up about his own struggles and Joe walks through the science behind why late-night meals, sugar, alcohol, and blue light are quietly sabotaging recovery for so many busy professionals.Beyond the science, Joe outlines how Optima Vita's six-month programs work – combining personalized meal plans, tailored exercise protocols, and daily coaching support through a dedicated app – and why accountability and consistency matter just as much as having the right plan. He also shares quick-win nutrition tips, breaks down intermittent fasting, and touches on 2026 goals including helping 100 individuals transform their health and expanding corporate wellness partnerships. Joe will also be joining Jeff's monthly real estate luncheon as a guest speaker, bringing his peak performance insights to a room full of high-achieving professionals.Optima Vita ConsultingSpecial thanks to:Ashley Richardson | Howard Hanna Allen Tate Real EstateThe Best of LKNhttps://thebestoflkn.com/Hosted by:Jeff Hammhttps://lknreal.com/Powered by:https://aidawerks.com/Thanks to Safe harbor Peninsula Yacht Club for their support!Support the show

There's been no shortage of conversation about the science of reading over the past several years. But writing barely comes up, even though the two are deeply connected. That's what drew Melanie Meehan and Maggie Roberts to write their new book, Foundational Skills for Writing. The book breaks the larger task of writing into smaller skill categories, including transcription skills, oral language, and executive functioning. In this episode, they share eight of the strategies from the book. Each is from a collection they call "minute moves," quick lessons and exercises that can be done in just a few minutes to build different kinds of writing muscles. They're fun and engaging and if you're someone who teaches writing, I think you're going to love them. ___________________________ Thanks to Renaissance and Erikson Institute for sponsoring the episode.

Chuck Meehan is Chief Creative Officer of Pavone Group and a veteran creative leader with decades of experience shaping iconic, culture-driving campaigns. A four-time Super Bowl creative, Chuck has worked with global brands and top-tier talent to create work that breaks through noise and pressure.Chuck has led creative teams at major agencies and worked on campaigns for brands including General Motors, Hellmann's, McDonald's, Del Taco and Universal Orlando Resort. His Super Bowl work includes back-to-back GM spots featuring Will Ferrell and Mike Myers as Dr. Evil, as well as large-scale brand activations that extended far beyond the broadcast.Big ideas come from interpreting the brief in an unexpected way and connecting dots others don't see.If an idea can't be explained clearly in one sentence, it's not fully formed.Super Bowl advertising is a six-month marathon that requires protecting the idea through intense internal and external pressure.The most successful Super Bowl spots extend beyond the ad itself into brand activations and social storytelling.Celebrity-driven campaigns only work when the talent serves the product and idea, not the other way around.AI should be used to amplify creative thinking, not replace the struggle and reps required to develop great ideas.In-person collaboration plays a critical role in mentoring young creatives and building strong creative culture.Great creative leadership is about creating an environment where people feel safe to take big swings and learn from misses.   QUOTES “The Super Bowl is the coolest thing and it's the most terrifying thing. And what's hard about it is, a lot of them start in August. So if you make it to February, that's six months of your life.” (Chuck)“If you can survive that gauntlet and somehow get to the Super Bowl with a great spot, it's a Herculean feat for sure. It's an amazing thing and it's a bit of a horrible thing at the same time.” (Chuck)“That (GM Dr. Evil) brand activation actually became a bigger story than even the spot in a sense. So yeah, that was a thing where we just didn't stop at the spot.” (Chuck)“By the Monday after the Super Bowl, the whole world's moved on. Brands looked at that and thought that if I'm spending that much money, why don't I release the spot a week ahead of time and get more out of it.” (Chuck)“When it comes to a Super Bowl commercial, you've got to put three-act story in 60 seconds. That's the discipline. When I've worked with people outside advertising, they don't quite get it. It's a very specific art.” (Chuck)“It's good because over the years, as a creative director, ECD, GCD, CCO, I'm constantly critiquing work. I'm constantly critiquing ideas. And most of them don't get past me, which is kind of the drill. The ones that do interpreted the brief in a way I didn't expect.” (Chuck)“I always tell creatives, show me a different way of looking at something. And even when I've judged shows, it's always the stuff that I'm like, how did they get there? Ninety-nine percent of things I can see where they're going.” (Chuck)“If you can tell me it in one sentence, you have an idea. And if you can't explain it, you don't know it.” (Chuck)

After following up a lead from a birdwatcher, Rachel Carson drew a web of connections that led to one of the most influential books of the 20th century. Silent Spring (1962) investigated the synthetic pesticides that proliferated after the Second World War, which were assiduously defended by overconfident policymakers, industrial chemists and agribusiness. The book quickly became a bestseller and kickstarted the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency. In the first episode of Nature in Crisis, Meehan Crist and Peter Godfrey-Smith discuss one of the truly great success stories in science writing. Carson was a masterful stylist and gifted scientist who could make abstruse developments in organic chemistry compelling, accessible and alarmingly intimate. Meehan and Peter show how Carson wrote at the edge of science, anticipating the study of epigenetics and endocrine disruption. They illustrate why, though some of her proposed solutions fell short, Silent Spring remains ‘both an exhilarating and melancholy pleasure'.

The story of how this interview came to be has something to do with Anita's exercise regimen, Hawaii 5-0, and little bit of woo woo. Meet Scott. Scott and his wife Donna built a life in Hawaii grounded in love, music, and the spirit of aloha. When Donna was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, everything changed — but her optimism, strength, and warmth continued to guide Scott long after she was gone. Join Anita and Mel during Scott's honest account of loss, healing, and how he is moving through grief. In Donna's honor, Scott created Daisy Fest, a celebration of life, love, and local Hawaiian music that raises funds for pancreatic cancer research and supports local artists.http://www.daisyfest.org*Check our Patreon for AD FREE Episodes, or to submit tributes of your person to be read in an episode! *http://www.patreon.com/wwdnSponsored by:BetterHelp.com.

Do you struggle with the idea of selling your products?  I am hearing from a lot of creative entrepreneurs who are telling me that they feel uncomfortable with in-person sales. They're worried about how they'll be perceived. They don't want to be seen as pushy or overbearing by their customers.  I'm hearing this with online sales too, but it's particularly heightened right now with in-person sales because we have a lot of people who have been doing summer craft shows and also in-person trade shows on the wholesale side of things.  I wanted to bring today's guest on to talk about sales in person and how you can push through some of these feelings of discomfort and show people what you've got and why they need to buy it.  Today's guest is Karen Sawyer-Meehan, Pier Six Press, which is a stationery and gift brand known for its bold design, vibrant colors, and high-quality craftsmanship. Now, Karen is one of my Advisory Board members. Advisory Board is my private mastermind, and this is a topic that she and I were chatting about privately on our Voxer chat, which is where folks talk to me one-on-one. We were talking about how this would make a great podcast episode and how Karen had a lot of great insights to share with you all.  During this episode, Karen shares her journey from art school and retail sales, building a brand that stands out, to embracing empathy, bold colors, and authenticity, and the handmade artistry behind her brand.  She shares her real, honest take on ethical selling, why genuine connections matter more than ever in retail, and how learning to trust your own unique artistic voice, and how that has transformed both her business and her confidence.  If you have been struggling with feeling salesy, finding your creative style, or wondering how to connect your values with the products that you're selling, this episode is for you. Today's episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product resource library.
