Welcome to the PlanetLaundry Podcast – brought to you by PlanetLaundry, the official publication of CLA. In this episode, PlanetLaundry Editor Matt DeWolf chats with store owner Hannah Chapman, who operates WashBar based in Oklahoma. Chapman and her husband got into the industry just 4 years ago in what was a headfirst dive into the deep end of the vended laundry swimming pool. They quickly grew from one location to four and are looking at opportunities. But the biggest opportunity for Hannah is around the way they can impact the people in their community and in their business. She believes strongly in the power of people, and the value that brings to your organization.

Rep. Natasha Hill has an interesting story. Attorney. Commumnity activist. Civil rights fighter. Mom. She fought her way upstream to get here and is already making a difference. Get to know her in today's Capitol Ideas.

Capitol Ideas returns today after a brief hiatus while lawmakers burned the midnight oil in more than a week of marathon floor sessions. Today's idea-generator is Rep. Lisa Parshley of Olympia, interviewed on her 60th day as a state representative.

Few things in life are certain, but it's a sure bet you've never heard a Capitol Ideas like this one. A dozen Democratic lawmakers, from veterans to brand-new members, making observations about life, one of the busiest weeks of the session, and the enduring Democratic values that most Washingtonians share.

Today Capitol Ideas welcomes yet another member of the 2025 Class of House Democrats. Rep. Shaun Scott was sent here by his neighbors in the 43rd district, the heart of Seattle. He's a creator, a polymath, and a leader, and we've got him now.

This is the eighth Capitol Ideas of 2025, and the fourth to feature a lawmaker in their first session as a member of the Legislature, and the House Democratic Caucus. Hooray for new faces and new energy. Today's guest is Rep. Victoria Hunt of Issaquah in the 5th district. She's an environmental scientist, an educator, a former Issaquah councilmember, and vice chair of the House Energy and Environment Committee.

Rep. Brianna Thomas has done a lot of things in her life, and they all led, in one way or another, to the day she was sworn in as Washington state's newest representative. Today we talk about some of those stops along the way, and what she has planned for this new experience.

Rep. Adison Richards works for the folks of Washington's 26th legislative district, a beautiful, seahorse-shaped piece of western Washington that stretches from Bremerton down to Longbranch and from Vaughan in the west to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Adison is new here but he knows how the place works, and he's putting that knowledge to work.

Get to know the person that you're going after and create those personas based on that,” Rich says. “What would your ideal customer look like? What's their communication style? Where are they hanging out? What do they like?”Then Rich focused on making sure Luck Shop's email list had integrity, meaning customers had really opted in. From there, it's all a matter of analyzing what works and replicating those results. On this episode of the Constant Contact podcast, Be a Marketer, Rich and hosts Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, and Kelsi Carter, Brand Production Coordinator at Constant Contact, share the marketing strategies that have worked well for Luck Shop.

But what about the people we don't value, the people we don't like? What about the people who are not like us or who don't hold the same values we hold?

That feeling is FLOW.  In today's world with constant interruptions and demands on our attention, achieving flow can feel impossible. But what if there was a way to cultivate this state and optimize your productivity? That's where "flow as a practice" comes in.

I'm looking for you to call me in five years.”“As long as you feel like you are being taken care of and you see value in the place that you're at, things are going to keep going well. And if you don't see value in where you're at, you need to make a change.”“I think empowering agents to know the entire business gives them more freedom if they were to ever want to do something different.”“I make an effort to tell new agents they should be interviewing the brokerages that they're going to hire. And that's a different perspective than I think a lot of people have going into this business.” Recommended Reading and ListeningSMALL TALK: The Smallegan Real Estate PodcastThe Tom Ferry Experience PodcastThe Prof G Pod with Scott GallowayLeaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek Connect with Mike SmalleganPhone: (616) 275-5938mike@smalleganrealestate.comMike Smallegan on LinkedInSmalleganRealEstate.comSmallegan Real Estate on FacebookSmallegan Real Estate on InstagramSmallegan Real Estate on TikTok

Today's guest gives us a behind the scenes look at one of modern business's greatest corporate turnarounds. When Oscar Munoz became CEO of United Airlines in 2015, this global organization was anything but united – and its reputation was in free fall.Oscar's journey at United began with a whirlwind of challenges and it's through those experiences that he gained invaluable insights into the power of listening, learning, empathy and resilience. In this conversation, we dive into Oscar's first 100 days at the helm of United as he faced a daunting task of reshaping the company's culture, addressing severe customer concerns, and navigating a rapidly changing global industry. All while 37 days into his new leadership role… he suffered a severe heart attack. In this episode, you'll hear about that story, how Oscar was able to persevere, and the warning signs that saved his life. We also talk about his first principles – the ones that guided his leadership approach, and how he stayed true to them even during a very public PR crisis for him and United. In addition to United, Oscar has served in various leadership positions across diverse industries, including U.S. West, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, CBRE, and PepsiCo. He is a wealth of knowledge and there are so many gems in this conversation – I can't wait for you to learn from Oscar's wisdom, insights, frameworks for leadership, and life.-----You can WATCH this episode on our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
