Caroline McNally and Frances Irving sit down for a chat about her personal and professional life from the early days as a social worker first in Scotland then in Hong Kong and the opportunity to develop a second career as a barrister focused on family law.  They talk about helping people during one of the most difficult periods of their lives and about managing expectations in the hope of seeing things moving forward for themselves and their children, while bearing in mind that things in life can evolve and parents can take different roles in their children s lives. They also dig into specific cases that have influenced the law and the way courts deal with divorce cases, as well as particular examples that have left a mark on their professional life. Frances clarifies what in her view is the difference in the roles of barristers vs solicitors and a better support and mentoring system that should be created for young barristers working in family law. They conclude talking about Hong Kong and its high number of international families which, as a result, often sees a large number of relocation cases happening when compared with other jurisdictions.

The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 07/14/24 Philippians 1: Kingdom Fruitfulness | Pray Your Bible Jack Lopez As you know by now, 2024 is the Year of Prayer at The Heights. A full year devoted to learning the power and practices of prayer. This is a year where we will collectively explore how to access the power and provision that is available to us in prayer. A year of taking up the invitation of Jesus when he says in Matthew 7, “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” But if we are honest, most people don't know how to accept Jesus' invitation into the praying life. We try to pray and fail. We need a model. Thankfully, the New Testament contains some of the most powerful prayers that have ever been prayed. These are Holy Spirit inspired prayers. Over these six weeks we are going to learn how to pray with the Apostles by studying the Apostolic prayers of the New Testament. We want to teach people to pray in line with the will of God by praying their Bibles 06/16: Eph. 1:15-23 - Sovereign Confidence 06/23: Eph. 3:14-21 - Power and Ability 06/30: Col. 1:9-14 - Knowledge of His Will 07/07: Phil. 1:9-11 - Kingdom Fruitfulness 07/14: 1 Thess 3:9-13 - Passion for People 07/21: Acts 4:23-31 - Evangelistic Prayer For more information about The Heights Church, or to contact us, visit our website at TheHeightsDenver.com

If you're waking up and appreciating the good, you are maintaining an attitude of gratitude.” (Chris S.)“Being a great leader is all about empathy and gratitude. Without those two characteristics, you're not able to recognize the qualities, skills and contributions of the other members of your team.” (Chris J.)“That's the thing with real estate.

William Harris, founder of The Hustle Digital Marketing & Design firm, has been rockin' the marketing scene since 2019. With an appreciation for people, their needs, and wants. Working with B2B and B2C facing companies on a worldwide scale across multiple industries, Will credits his business success to never passing up an opportunity for developing relationships. The importance of personal connections and expanding your network are his One Big Tip. Marketing is how your business gets noticed. It's how you draw people in and keep them coming back time and time again. To attract people, you need to understand their needs, wants, and motivations. To do that, you need to put yourself out there and make connections or have someone on your team do that for you. You need to be part of the sales cycle. In this episode will hear how William uses his podcast as a networking tool. Every guest is a potential client, but more than that, they are people who have lived and have a story to tell. By giving them a platform and generating conversations, connections are formed. Listeners can find comfort and camaraderie in hearing how top CEOs have gone through hardships in life and come out the other end. Often, people forget the struggle and story behind the success. They ignore the hustle and grind that went into establishing a successful outcome. William started as an entrepreneur after his career in the oil and gas industry dried up. He chose to take his skill set and some friends in the field and open his digital marketing firm; the rest is history. William saw the value in thinking outside the box and created his company by standing out from all the clutter and noise. He doesn't fear being different. He embraces it. His creative approach is what brings the magic to his clients. Follow along as William shares his story on the importance of even the slightest interactions and how it can grow into your next high-value client.  In today's podcast, you will hear how a layover at the airport turned into a networking opportunity and a potential client. That is why William's One Big Tip is to always look for opportunities to expand your network. In this episode[1:03] William delves into the circumstances that brought his digital marketing business to life and how he started The Hustle Marketing & Design.[2:11] William explains the how and why he named his company The Hustle Marketing & Design and why it resonates. [4:48] Why networking, creating connections, and taking an interest in others is what drives a marketing campaign forward.  [9:37] Explore how William uses his podcast as a networking tool. [12:16] The real-life stories of podcast guests are one of the best ways to make human connections and learn about people. [14:37] Look at the struggles behind the success to forge that emotional connection. Support the show (https://jeffmendelson.com/onebigtip)

Lucy says she was the archetypal good girl, and followed the traditional path – head girl, uni, job, married, kids, career – all ticked off the list by the time she was 30. She was living the dream, except it wasn't bliss, nor a nightmare. She felt like she was coasting. By 35 she was divorced, left her job, sold her house and started again, and that's when, she says, she started living. She now works with Leaders and their teams to build organisations they are proud of. She's an author, Podcast host and regular BBC Radio contributor, and her clients include private clients all the way up to international conglomerates.

Jimmy Gretzinger is a seasoned outdoorsman with a passion for storytelling, hunting, fishing, family, and faith. As Executive Producer and Host of Michigan Out of Doors, this avid outdoorsman has been owner of the 50-year old TV show since 2009.  “I bought the television show in 2008, which was a big venture on my part, but it worked out great. The guy that sold me the show was a very good businessman, and he said, ‘if you can make it through year one and year two, you should be alright.' And he was right.” Michigan Out of Door is a Michigan-based media company highlighting hunts from around the state in their 52-episodes released each year. When he first started, he was the self-proclaimed “low man on the totem pole,” and the poster child for the saying ‘hard work pays off'.  Jimmy talks fondly about his elementary gym teacher who connected him with the retired host of Michigan Out of Doors in 1998. “My gym teacher is sitting in a duck blind with the retired host of Michigan Out of Doors. They were looking for a new person to join the team. My teacher says ‘well, hey, I know this kid who grew up hunting and fishing and graduated from Michigan State with a video production degree.' And that's how it all began.” In this interview, Jimmy talks about the 2020 boom in hunting and fishing, shares steps on how a novice should begin, telling the stories of Michigan-based “real” people, and shares how his feelings on money have changed over the years. He claims he is not a businessman, and yet he's as business savvy as they come.
