It's been well over a year since this interview was recorded and it's finally seeing the light of day. Life happens, projects come up, and this wonderful conversation and a handful of others were recorded in 2023/2024 and never released. This backlog of recordings is Season 8 of the podcast, The Light Of Day series.In the 80th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Seattle, WA over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's November of 2023, and Sarah has set up her microphones in David Chatt's guest apartment, which she's fortunate to stay in for the week. It's a charming and cozy apartment and reflects David's eye for design and impeccable taste.David and Sarah's friendship has evolved from benefactor/artist to friends to chosen family, and the two begin by sharing how they were brought into each other's lives. David speaks to how his creative practice began, how his parents' talents inspired him, navigating between following his passions and monetizing his abilities, the preciousness of studio time, his relationship with his things, the importance of a good editor, and a fascination for rocks.OUR GUESTI have spent my entire adult life sewing tiny glass beads, one to the next. I have spent as much as a year to create one piece. I am a pioneer, an inventor, and one of a few who have gained recognition for beadwork as a fine art/craft medium. My work has taken me all over the United States and abroad as a lecturer, exhibitor, and teacher, and is included in public and private collections, including a recent acquisition by The Smithsonian's Renwick Museum. My achievements have been chronicled in books and periodicals, and in 2006 my career was recognized with a retrospective at the Bellevue Arts Museum. I have received a number of awards, including the grand prize at the 2020 Ireland Glass Biennale. In 2006 I accepted a three-year residency at Penland School of Crafts where I built a hot glass studio and studied ladle-cast glass. At the end of this residency, I returned to working with beads, but struggling with tools that were unfamiliar and allowing myself to consider other ways of working was invaluable. The time I spent living in this community and taking a break from my usual way of working, offered me an opportunity to think differently. The process of becoming adept at something, which challenged me, also made me a better teacher. I am planning to move permanently to the Penland area this spring.davidchatt.comsiennapatti.comRATE AND REVIEW US ON APPLE PODCASTS OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN!SUPPORT PERCEIVED VALUE!www.patreon.com/perceivedvaluewww.perceivedvaluepodcast.com/how-to-support-donate/Instagram + Facebook: @perceivedvalueFind your Host:Instagram: @sarahrachelbrownThe music you hear on Perceived Value is by the Seattle group Song Sparrow Research.All You Need to Know off of their album Sympathetic Buzz.

Introduction: In this episode, Sarah Walton, a dynamic business coach and sales expert, unpacks the powerful connection between money mindset and personal growth. Raised in a low-income household, Sarah knows the unspoken rules and financial beliefs that shape our lives. She brings her signature no-nonsense coaching strategies to reveal how women in business can break free from scarcity, embrace abundance, and cultivate confidence in sales and life. This conversation dives into how mindset shifts around time, money, and self-worth can transform your business and personal development journey. Main Takeaways: Unspoken Rules Shape Financial Beliefs: Identifying inherited beliefs can help dismantle the scarcity mentality. Money is Infinite; Time is Finite: Recognizing this truth can revolutionize decision-making and time management. Confidence Drives Perceived Value: Abundance flows when you confidently own your worth and offerings. Main Topics with Timestamps: Unspoken Rules and Scarcity Mentality (05:15) Sarah explains how unspoken childhood rules—like "money is stressful" or "more is better"—can unconsciously control decisions. She emphasizes that these beliefs aren't truths but inherited mindsets. Quote: "Unspoken rules run deep, but identifying them allows us to rewrite our stories." Impact: Realizing how these unexamined beliefs operate can unlock a sense of freedom and control over your financial choices. Money vs. Time: Infinite and Finite (23:42) The misconception that time is abundant and money is limited is flipped. Sarah highlights that money flows endlessly in the economy, but time is a resource you can't replenish. Quote: "Billions of dollars circulate daily—it's about participating in the flow, not fighting it." Impact: This mindset shift encourages smarter investments in your time and energy, empowering you to focus on high-value activities. Perceived Value and Sales Confidence (41:08) Owning the value of your work is key to thriving in sales. Sarah reframes selling as a transfer of enthusiasm rather than a pushy transaction. Quote: "When you trust your value, you can confidently ask for the raise or increase your prices without guilt." Impact: Seeing sales as an opportunity to share value transforms fear into empowerment, fostering authenticity in every transaction. Notable Quotes: "We come into this world naturally abundant; scarcity is something we learn, but abundance is always available." "Confidence in your value isn't about arrogance; it's about showing up with integrity and love." "The unexamined psyche will rule your life—question your beliefs to unlock your true potential."

In the 79th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown takes listeners to the Penland School of Craft, where she's participating in their Winter Residency. During the two-week residency, Sarah never missed an opportunity to enjoy a meal in the dining hall. The Pines, the Penland dining hall, has large, round tables perfect for gathering and enabling conversations over meals. Each meal is an opportunity to sit next to a stranger and potentially meet a new friend - or podcast guest.After enjoying a few meals and conversations, Sarah asked Zahra Almajidi if she would be willing to come on the podcast.

In the 78th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown takes listeners to the Penland School of Craft, where she's participating in their Winter Residency. Leading up to the residency, Sarah had heard from a few fellow artists attending, but overall, she had no idea who she would cross paths with. To her delight, the residency allowed her to meet many artists she's admired from afar. Among them is the guest for this episode, Lauren Kalman, who has been on Sarah's interview wishlist for some time. After sharing a few meals, Sarah asked for an interview.The two women sat down to discuss how Lauren unexpectedly got her first teaching position, the art of negotiation and why it's a crucial skill, how to sell work when your work is challenging to sell, and how an artist's work is not always representative of their personality.OUR GUESTLauren Kalman is a visual artist based in Detroit whose practice is rooted in craft, sculpture, video, photography, and performance.

This week on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with Jesse Williams and Brad Micklea, co-founders of Jozu and each with a long history of experience in various open source companies behind them. Even though Jozu is young, there was a lot to learn from these two and their experience in both open source and non-open source businesses. We talked about open source and not open source from CodeEnvy, Red Hat, AWS and Docker. “It's very hard to get a sustainable open source project if you don't have a company behind it paying those developers to work on it.” Some things we talked about: Why it's important to focus on ‘what people get” instead of ‘what you give people.' This is a fundamental component of effective product strategy and understanding your value prop: You can't just talk about about the features you're delivering; you have to connect that and focus on the value that people get from using the product. Jesse talked about the wizard behind the curtain that makes open source projects drive commercial adoption and revenue. You must be able to communicate the additional value of the commercial product; otherwise you will run the company into the group.Many open source companies get taken hostage by the open source community and end up having trouble monetizing because they make give away value in a way that is not sustainable.Users — and especially customers — are often unwilling to commit to a project if they are not convinced that the business behind it is healthy and has a sustainable business model. Open source, open standards and open governance — the relationship between the three and why we should all talk more about open standards and open governance in the open source ecosystem. The importance of really thinking through why you are open sourcing something, something that many companies don't think through. We wrapped up the conversation talking about how difficult it is to figure out which features to prioritize — and that this is a really hard decision for any startup. This is a big part of my shift to focusing on product strategy in my consulting. If you're an open source startup struggling with product prioritization and strategy, check out my product strategy offering.

Dr. Courtney Brown, Vice President of Impact and Planning for Lumina Foundation, discusses key findings from the 2024 State of Higher Education Study conducted in partnership with Gallup. She shares critical insights into evolving student demographics, barriers to enrollment, and strategies for addressing challenges in higher education. Key Discussion Points The Changing Profile of Today's College Students: Shift away from traditional recent high school graduates to more diverse, non-traditional learners. Approximately 35% of students are financially independent from parents. About one-third of students have children of their own. 60% of students work while in school, with 40% holding full-time jobs. Over one-third of current students are over 25 years old. Primary Barriers to Enrollment and Completion: Cost and affordability remain the number one obstacle for potential and current students. Emotional stress and mental health concerns have dramatically increased since 2020. Work and family responsibilities create additional challenges for many students. State policies on divisive issues influence enrollment decisions across demographics. Students Stopping Out: A Growing Crisis: 41.9 million U.S. adults have some college credit but no degree, up 1.5 million from the previous year. 64% of currently enrolled students have considered stopping out in the last six months. Emotional stress is the leading cause of student attrition, with 70% citing it as their primary reason for considering stopping out. The Perceived Value of Higher Education: Nearly all adults without a degree believe at least one type of credential is extremely or very valuable. Almost 60% of adults who have never enrolled have considered doing so in the past two years. 84% of current or prospective students cite employment factors as reasons for enrolling. Strategic Adaptation for Higher Education Institutions: Need for transparent pricing models and innovative financial aid options. Importance of enhancing mental health and support services for students. Adapting programs to accommodate non-traditional students' needs. Strengthening alignment between higher education and workforce demands. Addressing systemic barriers and advocating for supportive policies. Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leaders and Boards Actively collect data on student needs and experiences to inform decision-making. Analyze community demographics to identify and serve potential future students. Continuously explore ways to make education more affordable and accessible. Bonus Takeaway: Include a non-traditional student on the board of trustees to provide valuable insights into diverse student needs.

In today's episode, I share my insights on simplifying negotiation through a clear formula. Understanding your timing and risk tolerance is essential, not just in monetary terms but also considering time, emotion, and other values. I discuss the concept of perceived value, which is about confidently articulating the quantitative value of what you're asking for. It's crucial to know your bottom line to avoid losing energy and confidence during negotiations. I also cover the importance of maintaining alignment even after a yes, using strategies like the three no rule to manage changing time, value, and emotion effectively.

In part two of the live coaching episode with Presli, Heather Creekmore and client, Presli, delve into the concept of righteousness and adoption in the context of body image and family upbringing. Presli bravely opens up about her family's view of fitness and body size, revealing the deep-seated impact it had on her perception of herself. They discuss the idea of being seen for who you truly are, beyond physical appearances, and how authenticity and integrity play a crucial role in finding freedom from body image struggles. In this vulnerable and insightful conversation, Heather guides Presli through a journey of self-discovery and reflection, prompting her to explore the concept of adoption in the Bible and how it relates to her own life. The session touches on the power of authenticity, breaking down the myth of a "perfect" external appearance, and finding true value and acceptance.

Today's episode is a bit different, as I've invited a previous client of mine to share her experience booking a photographer for her engagement session. I photographed Dilihana and her fiance, David, in December, a few months after her initial inquiry. The reason I wanted to hear her point of view was that after presenting my pricing, she politely mentioned that unfortunately, she was going with another photographer based on her budget. However, a gut feeling and perceived value made her reevaluate her original decision and book my services instead, despite the price difference. This candid conversation is filled with valuable insights on what future clients are looking for and the little things that make a difference.

In the 71st episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Asheville, NC. In January of 2023, Sarah was making the drive from Florida to Pennsylvania and planned her trip around the opportunity to interview craft historian Andrew Glasgow. The two were introduced the previous summer while at the Penland School of Craft, and Sarah, having known of Andrew's vast career within the craft community, was thrilled when he agreed to an interview.The two craft appreciators sat down in Andrew's mid-century modern home to discuss how the Alabama native went from thinking he'd be a dentist to being an executive director of a non-profit in New York City. A year into his position as the executive director of the American Craft Council, Andrew was diagnosed with Lymphoma, and he shares with Sarah how his mindset, hope, and being his own advocate helped him through the estimated 806+ drug infusions and being declared cancer-free in 2013.Are you going to Munich Jewellery Week?Follow @3xUSA_MJW2024 on Instagram for all details regarding the exhibition your host is participating in!

In the 70th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Seattle, WA, spending the Thanksgiving holiday with her older brother, Benton Brown. For years, the two have talked about recording an interview, and they are finally in the same place and on the same page.In recent years, Sarah and Ben have put in the effort to strengthen their relationship. Raised primarily separately, Ben with their father in Oklahoma and Sarah with their mother in Iowa, the two siblings are still learning who each other has become in adulthood. However, regardless of their separate upbringings in very different environments, they have many talents and passions in common- an example of the long-standing debate of nature vs. nurture. The two siblings discuss how Ben became a multi-talented artist and graphic designer, the importance of not letting your loyalty get in the way of your growth, finding a job when you don't expect it, and being the one who's better.

Tony addresses why so many New Year's resolutions don't last and explores the concept of value-based goals and the importance of aligning them with personal values for the sake of authenticity and lasting change. He discusses the shortcomings of the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goal-setting method. He plays clips from an interview with his friend Neal Hooper about their discoveries on incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into the goal-setting process. Neal introduces the elements necessary for genuine progress and fulfillment - the 'why' and 'how' of making SMARTER goals. Drawing from the principles of ACT and illustrating through the story of the client “Jason's” transformational journey, he emphasizes the significance of acceptance, committed action, and psychological flexibility. The episode also points out the need to view setbacks as opportunities for growth, not pitfalls, and illustrates the importance of flexibility in goal setting. 00:00 Introduction: The Struggle with Traditional Goal-Setting 01:27 Meet the Host: Tony Overbay and His Podcasts 03:11 The Problem with New Year's Resolutions 06:48 The SMART Goals Method: An Overview 08:21 Jason's Story: A Case Study in Goal Setting 09:27 The Limitations of SMART Goals: Jason's Experience 14:26 The Shift to Values-Driven Goals 15:00 Jason's Transformation: Embracing a Holistic Approach 22:27 Conclusion: The Power of Mindfulness and Acceptance in Goal Setting 23:01 Challenges and Old Habits 23:24 Acceptance and Compassion in Change 24:10 The Power of Small Victories 24:42 Aligning Goals with Personal Values 25:13 The Pitfalls of Yo-Yo Dieting 25:42 The Pushup Challenge: A Personal Journey 26:25 Embracing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 27:27 The Power of Daily Commitment 29:56 The Importance of Why and How in Goal Setting 30:22 The Role of Shame in Goal Setting 30:56 The Problem with Traditional Goal Setting 31:19 The Importance of Perceived Value and Capability in Goals 34:36 The Power of Smarter Goals 41:58 The Misconception of Committed Action 43:25 The Role of Setbacks in Growth 44:14 Embracing Discomfort and Doubt 44:42 Conclusion: The Power of ACT Principles Find all the latest links to podcasts, courses, Tony's newsletter, and more at https://linktr.ee/virtualcouch Please follow Tony's new Waking Up to Narcissism Instagram account here https://www.instagram.com/wutnpod/ Subscribe to Tony's latest podcast, "Waking Up to Narcissism Q&A - Premium Podcast," on the Apple Podcast App. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/waking-up-to-narcissism-q-a/id1667287384 Go to http://tonyoverbay.com/workshop to sign up for Tony's "Magnetize Your Marriage" virtual workshop.
