Podcasts about mouth living

Ashleigh and Ryan talk to Jenny Anderson, Regional Director of Sales at DataRobot and founder of Maggie, about her Appalachian roots and hiring for those who can rather than those who have.SHOW NOTESHer Sales Journey-Jenny grew up in the hills of Tennessee surrounded by people who were barely scraping by.-She left college a few months after starting and, for a short period, worked as a flight attendant before moving home and applying for factory positions through temp agencies.-One agency mentioned that a flooring store was attempting to fill a sales position, so she interviewed and was hired.-Representing this business at trade shows, she realized she loved sales, eventually began in car sales before pivoting to retail sales, and finally B2B sales.MLMs-The reason why MLMs succeed at recruiting people is that they advertise the benefits and community.-So many people that have previously joined MLMs don't believe sales is for them because they couldn't succeed in the pyramid scheme. But the system is rigged against you.-There are plenty of transferable skills from MLM work to B2B sales. You could be a great SDR.Hiring-To diversify sales teams, leaders need to focus on finding the people that can do the job instead of the people who have done the job.-It is the leader's job to find diverse candidates and bring sales jobs to underrepresented communities.-We're currently expecting people who are unaware of sales positions to come to us with resumes that display their transferable skills when they've only ever applied for blue-collar jobs.-This means we're eliminating tons of candidates who could make exceptional talent because we're looking at a niche profile of candidates.DEI Conversations-A lot of DEI conversations address what happens when someone is already in the company but don't address the hiring process.-It's important to talk about what your company is doing to create safe spaces for underrepresented communities.Resources-Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America by Linda TiradoConnect With Jenny-LinkedIn-MaggieConnect With Ashleigh-Instagram-LinkedIn-TwitterConnect With Ryan-LinkedInConnect With OSoS-Instagram-LinkedIn-TwitterSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/othersideofsales/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/othersideofsales/support

James 2:14-3:6

Linda Tirado is a writer who catapulted to online fame after a casual, righteously enraged message board comment went mega-viral. Within weeks she had a book deal, TV appearances, agents, and a lot more attention than she had ever asked for or wanted. Her book, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America, captures a working class voice that’s rarely heard in mainstream American media, and her experience with internet celebrity reflects the often terrifying ways that class functions in media culture.    

Ana talks with Linda Tirado (@KillerMartinis), [2:00] activist and author of Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America, about the Trump Administration’s awesome idea to turn the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program into a shitty version of Blue Apron. The conversation also turns to the hypocrisy of policymakers on both sides of the aisle when it comes to poverty, and how no onein power actually wants to listen to poor people. Vox’s Senior Politics Reporter Jane Coaston (@cjane87) joins Ana [33:22] to discuss what the Rob Porter scandal tells us about the Trump Administration that we didn’t already know, the problems with White House security background checks, and to answer a listener question. Ana also reflects on her own journey with mental illness [54:22] in the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and how imperative it is mentally ill people aren’t stigmatized after a mass shooting.

Linda Tirado, author and activist, has written and spoken around the globe about what it's like to be poor in America. She now has a new project. She is seeking truth about our democracy by traveling the country and interviewing voters in the last Presidential election to find their current reaction to the Trump Administration and to the apparently stalled Congress. Tirado is finding that we have groups of disparate people living in the same geographical country but most people no longer having common goals or purposes. She contends “factionalism” has never been this bad. She challenges whether we even have a “country” beyond geography. This great divide is breeding danger: increased violence and a rise of the American style of fascism, according to Tirado. She notes that reporters, just doing their job, are not safe and that far right-wing political people blame the news media for spreading lies and “fake news” as is trumpeted by President Trump. She cites the recent assault on a reporter covering the Montana congressional race. She notes that many of the poor people who were depending on Trump to give them jobs and protect their interests are disappointed and their negative feelings are rapidly growing. As a result, Tirado contends they will probably not vote in future elections. Neither, Republicans nor Democrats should count on them voting – period. She also contends that this administration is under attack at so many levels – Congressionally, foreign-policy wise, and the investigations of Russian interference and collusion that the average person cannot follow everything happening. She calls it a “fever dream of lunacy.” It is Tirado’s contention that when people of overwhelmed that they turn off and pull inward back to their own lives and their local and family environments. In October 2014, Tirado’s book,” Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America” was published and has emerged as an extremely meritorious book about living in poverty in America. About 43.1 million Americans live in poverty and some experts challenge that number as being too low. Yet, poor people are routinely ignored by society and even chastised for not being able to work themselves out of poverty. Many, however, became a major factor in Trump’s victory in this past election. Tirado challenges traditional political thinking, fly-over reporting by news organizations, and our misunderstandings of what it is truly like to be poor in this country. She is now on assignment from major publications to determine how and what Americans are truly thinking and believing.

When GM idled its plant in Janesville, Wisconsin in 2008, the town became emblematic of a crisis facing many communities in middle America. When traditional manufacturing leaves – for whatever reason – economies are turned upside down, the collective identity changes, and very often depression sets in. While it may seem outdated to some that a community will identify with a corporation, that’s just what happened for decades. Losing the plant left many in Janesville searching for a future. This week, President Trump signed an executive order to bring jobs back to towns like Janesville, but the question is -- is it too little too late? On this episode of Indivisible, host Kerri Miller talks with Amy Goldstein, author of “Janesville, An American Story,” and Linda Tirado, author of “Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America,” about the realities of the company town and what the future holds. Here's the @AliaHanna story from Buzzfeed that @KerriMPR just mentioned on #indivisibleradio: https://t.co/avchqTimnj — Jeff Jones (@JeffMPR) April 21, 2017 Here are some Tweets from this episode: Indivisible Week 13: How Do We Get America Back To Work?

A federal appeals court has declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended President Trump's immigration ban. The decision will allow previously barred travelers to enter the U.S.  President Trump weighed in on Twitter with his disapproval of the decision -- and it seems an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court could be in the works: SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2017 MPR News host Cathy Wurzer will be joined by Margaret M. Russell from Santa Clara Law and Stanford law professor Shirin Sinnar to analyse the ruling. Also in this episode we discuss the growing rural urban divide in America and how the makeup of our cities and counties affects our stance on issues, how we vote and what we want from our lawmakers. Why does a phenomenon that dates back centuries feels like it's only getting worse?  In an age of mass-media and social networking, why does the physical place we live still seem to determine so much about how we see the world? Cathy talks to Dante Chinni, Director of the American Communities Project at American University and journalist in residence at George Washington University. She is also joined by Linda Tirado, author of "Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America." Does where we live shape our identity? #IndivisibleRadio — MPR News (@MPRnews) February 10, 2017 A snapshot of tweets about this episode: Indivisible Week 3: Trump's Travel Ban Is Still On Hold... For Now

Linda Tirado, author and activist, has for the past three years written and spoken around the globe about what it’s like to be poor in America. She now talks truth to power and explains why many poor people voted for Donald Trump to tear down the Washington “Establishments” of both parties. Linda started her journey from the depths of poverty three years ago in October 2013. It began with an angry response to a poster on Gawker.com. The posting turned into an online essay “Why I Make Terrible Decisions or Poverty Thoughts” and it has now been read by over 20 million people. Tirado became a viral sensation and encountered the slings and arrows that go with instant fame. Many supported her and applauded her for her honest examination of poverty from the inside out and others criticized her both personally and for her views. She emerged from the conflagration with a book contract. In October 2014, her book, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America was published and has emerged as an extremely meritorious book about living in poverty in America. According to a study done by the Center for Poverty Research at the University of California-Davis, the official poverty rate in the USA is 13.5 percent – based upon the Census Bureau’s 2015 estimates. That means that an estimated 43.1 million Americans live in poverty and some experts challenge that number as being too low. Yet, poor people are routinely ignored by society and even chastised for not being able to work themselves out of poverty. Tirado challenges current political thinking about the poor, fly-over reporting by news organizations, and our misunderstandings of what it is truly like to be poor in this country. She is outspoken and, some might say, brash. But, she is unapologetic about her views and her reputation of speaking truth to power as an activist, author, and journalist. Tirado talks to Spectrum this week about the current state of politics and how poor people strangely identify with President-elect Donald Trump and want to tear down the current system in Washington, D.C.
