This week on the Expert Voices podcast, Randy Wootton, CEO of Maxio, speaks with Ron Baker, CEO of Verasage Institute, author, and long-time influencer in the finance and accounting space. Ron and Randy discuss the concept of value-based pricing and the need for businesses to move away from the traditional hourly billing model. Ron also highlights the need for CPAs to shift from being problem solvers to strategic advisors, guiding businesses toward their desired future state. Ron and Randy discuss the value of taking risks and adapting to change to stay ahead in a disruptive market as a business. Quotes"For value pricing, it is just a different mindset. It's more of an entrepreneurial mindset than a production mindset. It's more of being a true professional, a definition of a professional, somebody who's accountable for creating a result, not performing a series of tasks. If I want a series of tasks, I'll hire a day laborer to walk my dog, mow my lawn, and clean my gutters. But if I hire a professional, I'm looking for some type of outcome. Perfect eyesight from an eye doctor, that type of thing. And the problem with the timesheet and the billable hour, the mindset that it creates is that's what we sell.” -Ron Baker [04:47]“The distinction between a series of tasks versus result orientation, one of the keys is vertical expertise. So, understanding the nuances, I used to talk about that with selling. You could sell into travel, but selling travel is super different when you're selling to hotels versus airplanes versus car rentals and seats versus heads and beds. The language you used, how they thought about getting people, and the acquisition costs, are all very unique to the sub-verticals. 20% of accounting firms that are doing well by being advisors is they have context, industry context, probably they know a bunch of people and they've got a bunch of. They're able to do pattern matching.” -Randy Wootton [12:49]Expert Takeaways Value-based pricing is a more effective approach than hourly billing, as it focuses on customer value rather than time spent.CPAs should move from being problem solvers to strategic advisors, guiding businesses toward their desired future state.Subscription business models offer simplicity, convenience, and peace of mind to clients while providing firms with planned capacity and the ability to offer additional services.Deep industry expertise and specialization are key factors in the success of advisory services.Businesses should be willing to take risks, as profits come from risk-taking.Timestamps[00:02] Introduction to Ron Baker and his work on value-based pricing [02:43] The need to move away from billing based on time [03:37] The problem with timesheets and the importance of measuring results [06:10] The pricing revolution in corporate America [08:46] Moving away from cost-plus pricing to customer-value pricing [12:43] Characteristics of successful accounting firms [16:33] Subscription business model for accounting services [21:37] Amazon's acquisition of One Medical and the subscription model [23:12] Differentiation in willingness to pay and understanding customer needs [31:13] Evolution of accounting and finance function to strategy and possibility [33:21] Profits come from risk, not just past data LinksMAXIO

Embrace your calendar as more than just a scheduling tool! In this episode, May emphasizes that living life on autopilot leads to missed opportunities and a lack of fulfillment. She advocates for intentional scheduling, which involves deliberately setting goals and the technique of creating milestones for each goal on the calendar. This practice creates opportunities to regularly evaluate progress, audit actions, and make necessary adjustments to stay on track.   May explains that this kind of structured approach provides a framework for not only setting goals but also for continuously assessing how well you're moving toward them. It allows for moments of reflection, where you can course-correct or amplify efforts to accelerate positive outcomes. This level of accountability ensures that you're actively engaged in your journey towards your goals.   Another crucial aspect that May discusses is understanding the 'why' behind your goals. Knowing the deeper reasons for pursuing certain objectives can be a massive driving force. This, coupled with a calendar-centric approach, forms a powerful combination for goal attainment.   May's mantra encourages listeners who are thinking about 2024 to step out of the mundane flow of life and to take control of their time and, ultimately, their success so that they can enjoy the life and business they desire next year.   In this last episode of 2023, May shares her wishes that all listeners will be intentional, be present and savor every single moment they are blessed with!   Quotes: • “For me, living is really knowing what you're doing every single minute in a day, really being present.” (3:47 | May Silvers) • “Today I'm going to talk about not going through the motion. And if it's not on the calendar, it doesn't count. Why is it important to be on the calendar? The reason why we want to put it on the calendar is we have set an intention. Okay? We set an intention that something's going to happen on that day.” (5:25 | May Silvers)  • “You want to be already tracking yourself month after month. So if you don't see any progress, you have time to catch what are you not doing correctly, what needs to be done, and then you can course correct. So when you are every single month closer to the date of your date of achievement you are auditing your progress and your process you are giving yourself time to course correct and this is the part that people tend to forget.” (10:37 | May Silvers)  • “You need to do some work in regards to understanding your why. Why do you want to have this? Why do you want to have this goal? Because if you don't define your why, the desire is not there. If you never had it, you never have the loss of not having it. So it's easy to give up.” (16:04 | May Silvers)   Links This is the LAST week before the 50% discount expires for HoneyBook, one of the most popular software used by the majority of event prof!

Love is appearing as a European retreat right now, but I'll be back with new episodes on Jan 8th! I love you! I am you!  ****** Like those burglar alarms that make no noise, that aren't audible to the trespasser, but sound somewhere else... when I feel invaded by thought, I close my eyes and I Hear. I hear this Silence sounding, and in that Emptiness, in that Quiet Space, help gets deployed, problems get solved, the right people show up. This Silence is the helper. It is the Comforter. It is Love. If you could just stop leaving this Love, if you could just stop forgetting to hear this Love, you'd start seeing changes. You'd start seeing yourself as Love, knowing only Love Is here, only this Weight, that has no form, that has no shape, that has no 'weight', is here. But here where you are, It's experienced as a Joyful Gravity, pulling what's for you, Destiny, into Your orbit. I Love you, Nik Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings __________________________________________ Today's Quotes: “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” -2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT "Your struggles are not because you didn't pray the right way or because you didn't pray enough, or because you have weak faith or insufficient intercessors. It is because God is using you in ways that you may not understand now, but one day you will. One day you will see how God used your affliction to prepare you for an incomparable weight of glory." -@Therealsweetspot Derrika Danielle "A million speak of love, yet how few know, True love is not to lose remembrance even for an instant." -Kabir "I used to think that in order to abide in Christ, I had to read my bible every day, pray everyday, and share my faith every single day. My abiding  was depending on me doing something, but this is just wrong. Abiding in Christ is not another work that needs to be performed, but it's a reality to live in. In the same way that one lives in a house, and only need not leave in order to remain in the house, you are in Christ.  And abiding in Hm is simply the decision to not walk away." -@Jkjoe via IG   

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley, Jeff Amerine, and Victoria Dickerson talk to Austin Simkins, co-founder of Natural Way Food Group, an innovative food company based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In 2017, Austin and his brother Quinn started their journey in their grandmother's utility room with a family recipe for chocolate covered peanut butter. Natural Way Food Group has since grown to sell peanut butter in six different flavors in over one thousand stores across the country, including Walmart, Safeway, Sprouts, and Whole Foods. Throughout the episode, Austin discusses how Natural Way Food Group's products differ from its competitors, what's on the horizon for Natural Way Food Group, and how its marketing tactics are community driven.   Show Notes (0:56) Introducing Austin Simkins (1:37) The Start of Natural Way Food Group (6:02) The Process and Struggles of Building a Business (10:21) Natural Way Food Group's Peanut Butter vs. Others (14:09) Natural Way Food Group's Target Market (16:28) The Impact Sports Can Have on Entrepreneurship (19:27) What's Next for Natural Way Food Group (30:45) How Natural Way Food Group Is Reaching Its Customer Base (40:00) Advice to Younger Self (42:18) Closing Thoughts   Links Caleb Talley Jeff Amerine  Victoria Dickerson Austin Simkins Natural Way Food Group   Quotes “For me personally, since I wasn't the most talented athlete, I had to outwork people. And so that's the same mentality I have with our business. I may not be the smartest guy in the room, but I will outwork you. I will put in more hours than you do. I will find a way to get over whatever hurdle I have in my way to get to the next point.” - Austin Simkins, (17:14) “Building those relationships at the end of the day, I can love my job, I can make as much peanut butter as I can make, but if I don't have customers that love the product and believe in what we're doing, it doesn't matter. So they are the lifeblood of the company. I want to connect with people on the deepest scale that we can.” - Austin Simkins, (33:10) “Trust the process. The first couple of years when we started, it was the expectation that things would happen overnight, and I think that's part of our culture of instant gratification. We're just inundated with it. We put in a little bit of work and we want the finished result right now...but as I've gotten a little bit older, I've just fallen in love with the process. I've had a couple of mentors that have told me if you can learn to love the process instead of the results, you could do this your entire life.” - Austin Simkins, (40:06)

“In a 30 second span, two of the most iconic Dance Moms moments happen back to back,” Christi exclaims as "She's a Maniac" has those and more iconic moments to spare. To mark the occasion (and to celebrate one of her few episodes where she doesn't suffer) the Bitches welcome Paige Hyland to the Barre! Abby brings in Broadway dancer Rachelle Rak to choreograph the Golddigga group number. It's a not too subtle jab at Melissa, who was just secretly married, but it sure is fun to have to explain what a Gold Digger is to the kids! Perhaps more pressing is whether Abby will be able to square away her desire for control with Rak's non-Maddie centric choreography.Quotes“For us telling our points of view like on this behind the scenes thing, the kids version is totally different. Cause you guys were in the dance room and we didn't know what was going on a lot of the time but you guys didn't really know what was going on upstairs.” (12:09-12:24 | Kelly)“We all have come to learn that the Pyramid means nothing. Not based on any kind of fact or any kind of real information. Just kind of based on your last name, maybe.” (23:50-24:01 | Christi and Kelly)“It's a cellophane wrap party…and we're wrapping each other…in literal cellophane. I figure I should go put one of them on. Kelly! Maybe I'll wear one of those this weekend on my face. I don't think they work. Well they got to do something! Well it's probably old and expired, it's 12 years old at this point. Don't you think the plant extracts might have dried up?! Maybe.” (56:43-57:10 | Christi and Kelly)“I am shocked that no producer picked that up and said, we're going to incorporate this [Giant Doll Man] into a dance. Girls, this is Bob Fosse, he's sitting on the edge of the stage, now dance for Fosse. Flirt with him, dig his gold.” (1:07:22-1:07:37 | Christi)LinksSubscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50aSBAYXH_9yU2YkKyXZ0w Subscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/backtothebarreThank you to Ashley Jana for allowing us to use Electricity!!

When your eyes fail, when your body becomes feeble with age and your intellect clouded, you will be left to grope in utter darkness. Set to work while there is yet time and try to kindle the inner light.  In the hearth of the mind, ignite the fire of Self-inquiry or the fire of God's Name; fan it into a blazing flame by associating with the Holy and Wise, by prayer and meditation.  Little by little, this light will grow bright and steady and illumine you both inwardly and outwardly; thereby the path to Self-realization will be made easy." -Anandamayi Ma "At all times keep your mind immersed in the thought of God, so that there may be no possibility of straying into a path that leads to misery." -Anandamayi Ma "Another level of you will begin to be born, a level of you which faces the apparently solid world around you. You'll find your Soul replacing your mind. You'll find the senses bump into your Soul instead of your mind which acquiesces and your Soul says, "uh-uh, no, no." And this birth of Soul awareness, as you practice this, is really the end product of what you're doing." -Herb Fitch, 40 Days in the Wilderness Audio 1 (Orlando, 1984) "Never accept the limitations of your environment.

Amy Irvine and Kate Welker discuss whether people should be pulling money out of the stock market and putting it into cash. They explain that while cash may currently be yielding a high rate of return, historically, a stock market-based portfolio will provide a higher rate of return over the long term. They also discuss the concept of the yield curve and how it affects different investment options. Additionally, they provide tips for saving on taxes at the end of the year, such as maximizing contributions to retirement plans and considering Roth conversions.Key Takeaways:Historically, a stock market-based portfolio will provide a higher rate of return over the long term compared to cash.The yield curve refers to the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates. A normal yield curve has lower short-term rates and higher long-term rates.Consider maximizing contributions to retirement plans and exploring Roth conversions to save on taxes at the end of the year.Quotes:"For a long-term investment, staying steady in the market is more successful." - Kate Welker"Run some numbers right now. Once you get to the end of the year, you don't have a lot of options." - Amy IrvineRemember, just like a good bottle of wine, the Wine and Dime Podcast gets better with time.

However, it is important to consider one's long-term goals and objectives before making any decisions based on fear. As Kate Welker, one of the financial planners at Rooted Planning Group, explains:"If you have one side of your equation allocated to stocks and equities, and the other side allocated to fixed income, such as bonds, CDs, cash, or money market funds, it may be ideal to allocate a portion of your cash to a money market fund that is currently yielding a higher rate of return. While this rate is not guaranteed and may change in the future, it is currently around 5%."It is crucial to remember that historically, a stock market-based portfolio has provided a higher rate of return over the long term compared to cash investments. As Kate points out, cash investments have historically averaged around 1.2% return, while a stock market-based portfolio can yield a historical rate of return of 7% to 9%. Therefore, staying invested in the stock market is generally more beneficial for long-term investment goals.Understanding the Yield CurveTo fully grasp the implications of investing in different types of fixed income vehicles, it is important to understand the concept of the yield curve. The yield curve represents the relationship between the interest rates and the time to maturity of bonds of the same credit quality. A flat yield curve occurs when short-term and long-term interest rates are relatively equal, while an inverted yield curve occurs when short-term interest rates are higher than long-term rates.As Amy Irvine, the CEO and founder of Rooted Planning Group, explains:"A flat yield curve would mean that a three-month CD, a five-year CD, and a ten-year CD all have the same interest rate, for example, 5%. An inverted yield curve, on the other hand, occurs when shorter-term interest rates are higher than longer-term rates."In recent...

In addition to leading the Habits at Work team, Andrew Sykes is a Lecturer of Entrepreneurship at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and a member of the Kellogg Sales Institute Executive Education Team, where he instructs the acclaimed course "Entrepreneurial Selling." This course has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the "Top Ten" courses in the United States.With a career spanning 30 years, Andrew has held roles as a salesperson, entrepreneur, speaker, and expert in behavior change. His professional journey commenced with the establishment of one of South Africa's largest healthcare consulting companies.He is also a co-author of the book "The 11th Habit," which distills the research conducted by the Behavioral Research and Applied Technology Laboratory (BRATLAB). This research focuses on identifying the habits that truly contribute to sustained high performance, competitive differentiation, trust building, and organizational growth, and offers guidance on how individuals can develop and practice these essential habits.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling From The Heart, Andrew Sykes discusses the importance of trust in sales and how to build trust in the first few minutes of a conversation. He shares his insights from years of research on trust and offers practical advice for sales professionals. Andrew emphasizes the need for salespeople to be committed to helping others make progress in their lives and to understand and meet their customers' expectations. He also challenges the common belief that trust takes time to build and explains how trust can be established in a matter of minutes. Andrew provides a framework for creating a strong first impression and highlights the power of genuine smiles and eye contact. He also discusses the role of apologies in trust-building and the importance of self-trust.KEY TAKEAWAYSTrust is something we give to others by vulnerably exposing ourselves to their potential deception or incompetence.Trustworthiness is assessed by others based on their experience of people like us in the past.The first few minutes of a conversation are crucial for building trust, and salespeople should focus on creating a strong first impression.Salespeople should introduce themselves by sharing one thing about their credible past and one thing that led them to choose their current profession.Apologies often break trust instead of restoring it, and salespeople should focus on acknowledging the impact of their actions and fixing it.People often lack self-trust and easily break promises to themselves, which can hinder their personal and professional growth.QUOTES"For me, selling from the heart means being committed to helping another human being make progress in their life.""Trust is something we give to other people. It's choosing to vulnerably expose ourselves to someone else's deception, incompetence, or lack of a track record.""Being trustworthy as assessed by someone else couldn't be more different because we assess trust based on false signals.""Trust is a generous thing to give, but being worthy of trust is assessed by someone else based on their experience of people like you in the past.""The feeling most people have when we're approaching them as salespeople is not unlike that feeling when you see three young adults with clipboards on the street.""Rather than saying, 'My name is Andrew, I'm the head of sales,' I encourage people to say one thing about their credible past and one thing that led them to choose their current profession.""Apologies usually break trust, not restore it. It's important to acknowledge the impact of your actions and focus on fixing it.""People often lack self-trust and easily sell themselves down the river, quitting on their dreams or promises to themselves.""The only way to unlock the greatness in us that hides behind our blind spots is to have generous people point to things in our potential that we don't see in ourselves."Learn more about Andrew Sykes: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewsykes1/Learn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrellamy/Larry's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrylevine1992/Website: https://www.sellingfromtheheart.net/Got a video about how you sell from the heart?

Unable to say the word “God” when she came into the rooms, Michele shares her journey through AA to a new God that she leans on and trusts.  Quotes  “For the first time, in a really long time, I said: God help me.” “I only have to ask, and I only have to make the tiniest little bit of effort, and then things change.” Referred by: Alyssa (vol. 49) 

“For mergers to be successful, there really has to be a strategic reason on both sides that is well thought out by both parties, regardless of who makes the approach to whom,” explains Gary Miles, President and CEO of Miles Partner Placement, an elite partner placement group movement and merger boutique. Today, Gary speaks with host Chris Batz about recent law firm merger activity, future trends for corporate law firms, and the ABA rule 5.2.  Gary explains that in his opinion a successful merger is one which has a high level of retention over the time the partnership was brought on along with increased metrics from the combined entity over time. In order to achieve this success, there needs to be a very strategic reason for the merger on both sides that is fully thought out prior to even letting the public know. Recently mergers have been being made more public, hitting the media well before details are truly ironed out. This is surprising as in the past firms were much more careful about stopping the leak of information. As for the future, Gary believes that with the client market heading more toward globalization, that smaller entities will need to consider merging or allowing themselves to be acquired in order to achieve rapid growth. Consolidation happens in businesses every day and the same is beginning to be seen with law firms. Law firm mergers tend to get a lot of attention and it can be useful to have the details completely ironed out before word hits the press. When judging whether a merger is successful or not, it is important to look at least 5 years down the road to really understand where the metrics sit for the combined entity. With a market push toward globalization, law firm mergers are likely to be more and more common in the coming years.  Quotes “For mergers to be successful, there really has to be a strategic reason on both sides that is well thought out by both parties, regardless of who makes the approach to whom.” (7:33 | Gary)  “I term a successful merger, from my perspective, I'm not using some sort of, you know, defined industry standard, but a high level of retention over time of the firm partnership that was brought on. Increased metrics from the combined entity over time.” (11:59 | Gary) “There's consolidation happening every day, law firms depend upon it in terms of revenue.” (19:15 | Gary) “A lot of times what gets in the way most often of deals is either the outright adversity or the quote, unquote major client business conflict that often exists.” (37:20 | Gary)  “In our country's history, money usually wins out. Capital will find a way to win out.” (38:51 | Gary) Links Connect with Gary Miles: Miles Partner Placement:  https://milespartnerplacement.com/ Gary Miles' LinkedIn Profile:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-miles-aa7b28103/ Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliongroupkc  Instagram: @theliongroupllc Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“Imagine being a Black boy growing up, seeing where you're targeted, but nobody's talking about it. And worse, no Black parent is talking about it,” shares Dr. Christina Christian, educator and leader in special education and student success. Today, she joins host D-Rich to explore how parents navigate the joy, excitement, anxiety, and fear of raising a Black son.   Parents of Black boys need to be very intentional and proactive about their educational, social, spiritual, and emotional development to establish a strong foundation against the racial targeting they are unfortunately going to face. Black boys are still the lowest performing academically and research shows that they end up in the system more frequently than their White counterparts. Many teachers still have very little to no expectations for the success of Black male students and this can be extremely damaging to them. The systems in place and the discrimination especially within educational settings are designed to hold our Black boys back.    Talk to your Black sons about what it means to be a Black male in today's society and be proactive about getting involved in their education from the start so that you can stop any issues that may arise. Be sure to read your son books that reflect who he is and will become and validate the qualities that make him special and unique, so that he won't lose himself in the face of discrimination.    Quotes • “For a lot of these young boys, they just wanted school clothes, that was it. These were good kids who just wanted a nice jacket. They wanted the shoes and they saw drugs as a very easy, quick, simple way to get it. And they were being arrested over and over and over.” (10:10-10:27 | Dr. Christian) • “It's still Black males and the stereotypes that teachers have for them and no expectations, not low, but no expectations for what they're able to accomplish.” (23:47-24:03 | Dr. Christian)  • “When you put your child in a class, especially when you have a Black boy, write down your expectations. Sit down and have a meeting with that teacher and tell that teacher, these are the expectations I have.” (29:05-29:17 | Dr. Christian) • “Our black boys are the lowest performing we have in academics.” (34:06-34:12 | Dr. Christian) • “A black boy, white boy, black girl, white girl. All four of them can commit the exact same offense, and research shows black boys will be given the harshest consequence.” (35:24-35:40 | Dr. Christian) • “Imagine being a black boy growing up, seeing where you're targeted, but nobody's talking about it. And worse, no black parent is talking about it.” (40:35-40:44 | Dr. Christian)   Links Connect with Dr. Christina Christian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcchristian/   About with Southern Soul Live Stream - Podshow   Witty, thought-provoking, and uplifting, Southern Soul Livestream - Podshow is the program that you'll invite friends over to watch every week, where you'll learn about fascinating speakers and get to share in exciting experiences.

“If I pay attention to my protein, it takes the guesswork out of so much other stuff,” explains host Dr. Andrew. When you're building muscle, you must prioritize your protein. Although it may seem challenging, Dr. Andrew reveals how much protein you need in your diet to see long-term results.   Whether you are trying to lose weight, gain muscle, recover from workouts, or heal from injuries, you must have protein in your diet. When you consume sufficient protein, your body goes into muscle protein synthesis, creating muscle from the food you eat. To trigger this process, you need at least 30 grams of protein in a sitting while keeping in mind that one gram per pound is a standard recommendation. For example, a 150-pound person will need to ingest around 150 grams of protein daily and consume 30 grams five times a day to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Although protein-tracking can be tricky, once you make it part of your fitness journey, you will feel much better in your everyday life.   It may not seem important, but protein is essential to health. Although there are other factors to optimizing human performance, such as sleep, counting your protein can keep you more consistently on track. If you eat enough protein, you will be full longer while boosting your metabolic rate, making it much easier to care for your body and achieve your goals.   Quotes • “For many people who have challenges with body pain, recovery issues, and weight, the priority needs to be put on the protein and the quality of the protein in their diets.” (1:58-2:31 | Dr. Andrew)  • “If I pay attention to my protein, it takes the guesswork out of so much other stuff.” (3:53-4:01 | Dr. Andrew)  • “I feel so good eating a higher amount of protein.” (7:43-7:46 | Dr. Andrew)  • “When you have more muscle mass, your body's natural metabolism, your metabolic rate will be a little bit higher.” (7:59-8:05 | Dr. Andrew)  • “Eating larger amounts of protein in fewer sittings throughout the day is better than just grazing all day.” (13:51-14:00 | Dr. Andrew)   Links https://peterattiamd.com/donlayman/   Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew's Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew's Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Living with poor health is hard. Prioritizing your sleep, eating healthy and getting enough exercise for your body everyday is hard too. Either way is hard and JJ Virgin is here to remind you, it's also time you choose your hard. JJ Virgin is a legend in the health and nutrition industry with multiple bestselling books like the Virgin Diet, and more. When it comes to being healthy and feeling like the best version of you, JJ delivers practical advice anyone can follow. Her message today boils down to prioritizing yourself and not beating yourself up for misinformation. In this episode, JJ is busting diet myths and revealing exactly why women need to shift from losing weight to holding onto and building muscle instead. If you're tired of the thousand moments of hopelessness, hormones out of balance, and fat that won't budge no matter what you do, this conversation is exactly what you needed today. We wish it was as simple as calories in and calories out, but it's not. Losing fat is a byproduct of getting healthy and your metabolic health is the key.  QUOTES: “For the majority of women the last thing we want to focus on is losing weight. We actually want to focus on holding onto and building muscle...” “You have to get metabolically healthy to be able to lose fat and hold onto muscle, and one of the symptoms of being unhealthy is not being able to lose weight.” “Stop using the scale as a bad girlfriend.” “Realize that excess body fat is purely a symptom of something else not working.” “Forget aging gracefully, I'm aging powerfully.” “Focus instead on what you have to do to be your healthiest self.” “We're never better than when we're challenged.” “We have our genetic predispositions, but that's a predisposition. You don't have to make that a reality, your lifestyle is going to decide which way things will go.” “The reality is that being first on your list is being selfless.” Follow JJ Virgin: Website: https://jjvirgin.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/jjvirginvideos  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jj.virgin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JJVirginOfficial/  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-the-health-expert/id911502027

You'd start seeing yourself as Love,knowing only Love Is here,only this Weight, that has no form,that has no shape,that has no 'weight', is here.

It is because God is using you in ways that you may not understand now, but one day you will.

In a career that has now spanned more than 20 years, Marty Yaskowich, Principal for 3ONE Strategic Consulting, has discovered that the greatest predictor of growth for most organizations is the alignment of corporate, brand and sales (GTM) strategies.   A planner and communicator at his core, Marty has worked directly and consulted with many Fortune 500 brands that struggle to get all internal and external audiences (employees, Boards, agencies and consumers) to the same place strategically – at the same time.   On today's episode, we sit down with Marty to discuss his transition into consulting and helping businesses tell a concise story in order to keep growing and expanding. With a background in journalism Marty has learned how to ask the right follow up questions and capture the interest of his audience with the right story.   Tune into this week's episode, to hear from Marty Yaskowich, Principal for 3ONE Strategic Consulting, on the art of telling your story, keeping your audience engaged, and always asking the right follow up questions. Quotes: “For somebody who never thought they were in sales to begin with, I've made a pretty solid career out of helping people tell their story in sales.” (3:46-3:54) “The reality is people want and they remember stories, and they want to hear your story.” (5:50-5:56) “As a former journalist, I can tell you, lots of lots of great stories never get told, because the person doesn't ask the right follow up. You mentioned something there. Tell me a little bit more about that. It's the best sales tool in the world is just the follow up question.” (9:10-9:27) Links: Marty Yaskowich LinkedIn   Empellor CRM LinkedIn Empellor CRM Website Empellor CRM Twitter

Fasting is one of the popular ways to eat for weight loss. However, it's not without its pitfalls, especially if you're trying to change your body composition. I'm all about finding the best way to fast in a way that works for you. In this episode, I'm talking about the five pitfalls of fasting and what you can do to avoid them.   The Pitfalls of Fasting You're not eating enough protein The sub-optimal eating window when trying to optimize body composition You're eating too many calories Increased stress from fasting All-or-none thinking   Make Your Fast Work For You There are so many different ways to fast and, while I'm not an advocate for or against fasting, I do encourage you to find the way that works best for you and your body if you are fasting. I don't believe fasting is the best way to eat if you're trying to make significant body composition changes. However, if it's working for you, keep going. Protein is an essential macronutrient to repair and strengthen your muscles. You probably need to eat more protein than you're getting to prevent muscle loss, especially if you're working out.  Your fast also might not work for you if you leave it too long to eat after a workout. You need to replenish the nutrients your body used during your workout – you can't do that if you don't eat for hours afterward. If you want to continue fasting, ensure your fast works best for your body.   Fasting and Your Body's Stress Response Many people combine a fasting routine with eating a low-carb/high-fat diet. Even if this isn't how you eat, it's still possible and relatively easy to overeat your calories.  Fasting can also cause stress on your body, especially if you're chronically fasting. Fasting can impact your body's response to stress, especially if you're naturally more prone to a stress response. Finally, fasting can lead to all-or-none thinking, which it really doesn't have to be. You don't have to fast every single day. It really is what works for you, for your body type, and your body composition goals. And, if you don't like the results you're getting from fasting, you can change how you fast. Have you done fasting before? Did it work for you? Tell me about your fasting regime in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  The types of fasting [4:00] Why fasting isn't great for body composition changes [6:30] How eating the right amount of protein prevents lean muscle loss [8:00] Why you need to eat after working out to rebuild your muscle [15:00] What to do if you don't like the results you're getting with your current fasting regime [17:00] What happens if you overeat fat [22:00] How chronic fasting can cause too much stress on your body [25:00] What can happen when you don't apply all-or-none thinking to your fasting regimen [28:45]   Quotes “For every pound that we lose on the scale, if we are not optimizing our nutrition with the protein and also strength training, we could lose about 25% lean mass.” [7:39] “The idea is to start to get yourself used to what it will take to get different results. If you want different results, you have to do something different.” [18:50] “For fasting to have any benefit, it doesn't have to be this really long, prolonged day-in day-out type of event. If you like the lifestyle of fasting, it's no problem. Really try to do it in a way that feels good for you.” [28:02]   Resources Mentioned So Much More Than Weightloss YouTube Series So Much More Than Weightloss  Consult with the Life Coaching for Women Physicians Team Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 129: So Much More Than Weight Loss Part 1 Episode 130: So Much More Than Weight Loss Part 2 Episode 128: Rethinking Weight Loss

In today's episode of the Live UNREAL podcast, we're shining a light on some of the best and brightest agents on real estate teams from all over the country. As we think of the needs of the industry - teams remain a very important area of focus and we're excited to be giving recognition to the people thriving on them.  Today, Jeff is joined on stage by Bri Frazier and Brian Denney, who will share what they are doing to get their outstanding results in business and the value they get out of being on a team. Bri hasn't just sold a ton of units with a volume of $50 million after 4 years in the business, her Zillow conversion rate is triple that of the industry average! Brian has sold 97 homes and earned $110 million in volume.  Both agents will give you a peek behind the curtain of the business and share some of the ways they are setting themselves up for success on their teams.    We also discussed: How new agents can get more deals by leveraging open houses and listing previews How to properly pass off the client to a showing agent so it doesn't feel like a disservice Why Brian implemented a daily video power hour into his schedule The 20-contact model    Quotes  For a brand new agent open houses are a great way to build a reputation. -Jeff Glover  When you're producing at this level, it's really hard to find a circle like what I have in the team. -Bri Frazier    Key Points  One of the things Bri Frazier is doing to have a Zillow conversion rate of 11% (3x the industry average) is having a dedicated VA answering the calls to pre-scrub and set appointments. This means she never misses a call from a lead. Many agents wouldn't want to give up a portion of their commission, but it's what enables you to do more transactions while getting your time back.    Control your calendar, don't let it control you. The first 4 hours of your calendar are sacred and committing to them is non-negotiable. No matter what, we have to protect those first 4 hours and then everything else comes after that.   

Michael Dansinger, MD, is a weight loss and nutrition expert who advised NBC's inspirational reality show “The Biggest Loser” for 10 years. He shares his insights and opinions about the global obesity epidemic, popular weight loss diets, weight loss and regain in Biggest Loser participants, and how to teach good eating habits to your teens when they can eat anything they want without consequences for their age.    Key Takeaways Dr. Michael shares why he believes the American diet is so unhealthy.  Teenagers are getting a ton of mixed messages on how to eat. When it comes to healthy food, there isn't a simple answer. It's very easy for parents to be too extreme on both the unhealthy and healthy food spectrum.  It's okay to eat treats, but it has to be purposeful and not ‘accidental' or because you have no choice/other options. Your home has to be a place that has mostly healthy foods. How do you teach your teen in a way that's helpful?  Parents need to negotiate with their teens and get buy-in with their teen on this process. Dr. Michael understands that parenting is not always so black and white.  It's good to have a consistent eating strategy in your household. If your teens get addicted to unhealthy food during these development years, it affects them throughout their adulthood.  You can get your blood tested, which will provide you with a customized nutrition plan based on your type.    Sponsored by Lessons in Leadership online program: Edgerety.com Resources Michaeldansingermd.com/biggest-loser   https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dansinger-md-8788373/   Bostonheartdiagnostics.com Quotes:   “For over 50 years, the American diet has been increasingly unhealthy, and this is because we allow food companies to advertise and promote unhealthy foods.”    “It's all about navigating the ‘gray' zone (of healthy and unhealthy), which is hard!”    “When a parent eats unhealthy food, it undermines their ability to do what I say, not what I do.”

This year's theme for Hispanic Heritage Month from the National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers is, "Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation." With 62 million people and over 21 different cultures, Latinos/x are a unique combination of black, Asian, white, indigenous, Middle Eastern, and mixed races. When describing their identity, research shows that over half (51%) of Hispanics and Latinos/x say they most often use their family's country of origin – using such terms as Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran or Dominican. It's a cultural nuance, as most Latinos/x don't feel they fit under a "one umbrella" identity.  To build inclusivity in the workplace, leaders have an opportunity to drive a sense of belonging in the Latino/x community. In this episode, Monica Marquez (aka the “Macgyver for the Marginalized”) discusses how leaders can raise awareness and visibility to develop the next generation of future-ready leaders to go further faster, together. Highlights:  [2:22] Significance of Hispanic Heritage Month [6:26] Differences between Hispanic vs. Latino/x [9:42] Origin of “Latinx” [12:57] Embracing Hispanic and Latin/X terminology [14:54] Raising Latino/X visibility to develop the next generation   Quotes: “For the Hispanic and Latino/x community to move forward and get ahead, we have to go further, faster together as one inclusive familia. Some of us may think, won't all of these different labels divide our community? Only if we let it.” - Monica Marquez "There are so many of my Latino/x colleagues I see doing amazing things. So let's lift each other up." -Monica Marquez “As my colleague, Frank Carbajal says, ‘Es tiempo to embrace Latinx' - because you're embracing a new segment of the population that is identifying and saying they're proud Latinos/x with a strong Latinos/x origin. They want to recognize their roots, but they want a terminology that makes sense to them.” - Monica Marquez About Monica Marquez: Monica Marquez is a senior corporate leader, ex-Googler, and diversity expert.

“That's where we start with personal branding. Start with a dialogue. What's your ‘why'? Who are you? Number two, what makes you happy? And of course, three, what's your end goal?”, shares Paula Mattisonsierra, founder of Power Marketing SF with over 25 years of marketing experience. She helps business owners discover and cultivate their personal brand. Today, Paula joins Mike Horne in conversation to discuss the intricacies of marketing and why having a strong, authentic personal brand is vital for the success of any business. When people first hear the words ‘personal branding' they often think first of social media and overly filtered, perfect Instagram photos. However, social media alone is not enough to lock in your personal brand and get your message out there. The first step is to really sit down and think about your ‘why'. Who are you? What is most important to you? Once you have discovered your ‘why', you can move on to figuring out your end goal and how you intend to get there. Your personal brand and messaging is vital, because it will attract the attention of clients, vendors, and investors who have similar interests. Nowadays, people don't want to do business with just anyone. They want to do business with companies that reflect their values and owners they feel they can trust.  If you present some perfect, polished and ultimately fake version of yourself on social media, it will eventually backfire, because at some point your true self will come out. Embracing authenticity from the start will get you further in the long run. Tune into this week's episode of the Authentic Change Podcast to learn more about how to develop your authentic personal brand, how marketing goes beyond social media, and how to recognize and accept help when it is offered.  Quotes: “For me, marketing and operations are very tied together. It's a love story. They're locked and loaded together.” (9:33-9:39 | Paula)  “Not everyone who smiles at you is your friend. And not everyone who's irritated with you is your enemy. Know the difference.” (13:13-13:21 | Paula) “People already know the answers. They're sometimes not confident about the answers. But I realized that as business owners, they're in it every day…They're seeing everything and not realizing they're seeing everything.” (14:42-15:10 | Paula) “I think when people hear the words ‘social media,' suddenly Instagram comes to mind. Everything always seems staged and fixed up. Let me tell you something about those people out there who are filtering and seem overly pulled together, it does not last, because eventually you become yourself. And that never works out well.” (17:57-18:20 | Paula) “When it comes to personal branding, start with a dialogue. What's your ‘why?' Who are you? Number two, what makes you happy? And of course, three, what's your end goal?” (19:09-19:22 | Paula) “Yes, it would be wonderful to start today, but it's so much better to start with a plan first.” (36:52-36:58 | Paula) Links: Mentioned in this episode: Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Find more about Leading People and Culture with Authenticity   Learn more about Paula Mattisonsierra Website https://www.powermarketingsf.com/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of Chan With A Plan, host Max Chan speaks with Roman Prokopchuk Founder of Nova Zora Digital, and podcast host of the Digital Savage Experience. In this conversation, Roman discusses lessons he learned during the 2008 recession that will help others prepare for what many experts are predicted the next big recession.    QUOTES “For me, I didn't really have a choice. So, I took advantage of the opportunity. Ask yourself, ‘If you get an opportunity in a completely different field, and it potentially can lead to something else are you going to take it?' My recommendation would be take it because you don't know where it could lead you.” – Roman Prokopchuk “All the ups and downs and getting to wherever you want to get, so if you're doing it that way, and you're getting value out of the process and the journey, and it's actually rewarding.” – Roman Prokopchuk  “Maybe they don't give you an opportunity, but at least you can pick their brain, maybe even ask them, has this ever happened to you?

What We Cover In This Episode: What progressive web apps are all about [1:25] Why fitDEGREE chose a progressive web app and the benefits this approach gave us and our clients [3:54]  The reasons that web-based apps are crucial in this industry [7:59] How having a progressive web app sets us up for continued success in the future [9:38] Where our best ideas always come from [10:58] Quotes: “For the longest time, when you would make an app for an iPhone or an Android phone, you would have to code the app in specific languages for that platform. You'd have to build the app, submit it to Apple and Google, and then have them approve it to put it on their store.” [1:37] “By going the web app route, we were able to have half the amount of developers in the early days and focus all our time on building one app versus two apps.” [4:34] “I think that's what gave us kind of a competitive edge, having that platform where we could build one app that goes to iOS, Android and web.” [7:49] “Overall, I think that all apps that don't need intensive power are going to start going the web app route, if they haven't already.” [9:27] “Our clients keep it easy for us. We don't have to be creative that much because they tell us what they want and need and that is the route we usually go with new features and new additions to the software.” [12:03] LINKS: On The Go App (Google Play) & (Apple App Store) Kiosk & Admin Logins support@fitdegree.com  https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitDEGREE  https://calendly.com/fitDEGREE  https://www.fitdegree.com/blog  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChJ5rK6zWPXjbxtUQx3ys9Q 

The vast majority of Americans worship the white god—the god of Christian nationalism, white supremacy, domination, patriarchy, wealth, power, and colonization. The god of guns and empire, the god that exists to make white men great again. It shouldn't surprise anyone that powerful white people created a god in their own image, in the image of white men has this god been created. As Dr. Miguel De La Torre responds, “What we say is Christianity today is really an ideology of white supremacy and nationalism…This is what evangelical Christianity is today.” And in service of this false evangelical god, white westerners are blind to the victims of their philosophical and theological fabrication. Our deep-rooted blind spots are so common in white evangelicalism and are further engrained by wealth, history, race, and social standing to a point where the vast majority of Christians in the west are living a version of Christianity that is completely anathema to the historical Jesus. However, if you grew up in non-white spaces, in colonized countries, or in economically challenging environments, odds are your faith looks radically different. Odds are you serve the brown God of the oppressed instead of the white god of MAGA Christianity. Which is just one reason why those of us deconstructing evangelicalism are in such dire need of liberation, liberation from the white god that continues to colonize our hearts and minds. One of the paths toward freedom can be found in the liberation and post-liberation theology movements from Latin America. Liberation theology is a social and political movement attempting to interpret the gospel of Jesus Christ through the lived experiences of oppressed people. Liberation theology has its origins in Latin America in the mid-1950s as socio-economic development created by peasant workers and farming populations who had been driven into desperate poverty. With the economic unrest came political unrest, and military dictators took over many governments in the name of national security, only further marginalizing the poor. But from these oppressive experiences came a theology that drives its legitimacy from the perspective of the poor and oppressed. Liberation theology gave us queer Jesus, black Jesus, immigrant Jesus, and Marxist revolutionary Jesus. It is a version of faith that identifies exclusively with the oppressed.It is ironic then that Latin American liberation theology just might save white people from ourselves, but only if we have the humility to come face to face with our colonial past and present drive for power and domination. This episode deconstructs the white god and dives into other forms of evangelical oppression including gender oppression, LGBTQIA+ marginalization, white supremacy, and nationalistic Christianity. Dr. De La Torre offers a practical way forward in our attempt to free ourselves from the white man's god. BioRev. Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre is Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. He has served as the elected 2012 President of the Society of Christian Ethics and served as the Executive Officer for the Society of Race, Ethnicity and Religion (2012-17). In 2020 the American Academy of Religion bestowed upon the the Excellence in Teaching Award. Dr. De La Torre is a recognized international Fulbright scholar who has taught courses at the Cuernavaca Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Development (Mexico), Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies (Indonesia), University of Johannesburg (South Africa), Johannes Gutenberg University (Germany). Additionally, he has lectured at Universidad Bíblica Latinoamericana (Costa Rica), The Association for Theological Education in South East Asia (Thailand) and the Council of World Mission (Mexico and Taiwan). Advocating for an ethics of place, De La Torre has taken students on immersion classes to Cuba and the Mexico/U.S. border to walk the migrant trails. Among multiple yearly speaking engagements, he has also been a week-long speaker at the Chautauqua Institute, and the plenary address at the Parliament of World Religions De La Torre has received several national book awards and is a frequent speaker at national and international scholarly religious events and meetings. He also speaks at churches and nonprofit organizations on topics concerning the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality with religion. In 2020, the American Academy of Religion bestowed on him the Excellence in Teaching Award. The following year, 2021, the American Academy also conferred upon him the Martin E. Marty Public Understanding of Religion Award. De La Torre is the first scholar to receive the two most prestigious awards presented by his guild and the first Latinx to receive either one of them.Quotes:“For white people to get saved, they have to learn how to worship the black Jesus.”“For our economy to function, men of color have to mostly be unemployed.”“I have to constantly be suspicious of my worldview.”“White evangelicalism must be crucified.

Do you know the real reason our nation is experiencing a skilled worker shortage?

Showing up for your authentic body is one of the most amazing things you can do for yourself. It's not about restricting your food or exercising every day or even about that goal body weight. It's about finding what works for you and your body type and choosing to honor that every day. From the exercise that feels good to food that nourishes you and the sleep that supports you to the clothes that feel authentic - let's unpack how to show up for your authentic body.   Support Your Authentic Body By Identifying your body type (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) Eating foods that nourish your body type Finding movement that your body loves Figuring out your ideal sleep schedule Wearing what you want and what your body feels good in   Find Out Your Body Type Showing up for your authentic body means doing the things that feel good for it, regardless of what you “should” do. This might take some trial and error to find how your body functions best, but trust me when I say it's worth it. A big part of showing up for your authentic body is figuring out what your body type is. There are three main body types: ectomorph, metamorph, and endomorph. Each body type responds differently to exercise and nutrition, and it's up to you to choose how to honor that.   Eat, Move, Sleep, and Dress to Support Your Authentic Body The other keys to supporting your authentic body stem from knowing what your body type is. Each body type needs to follow some more specific nutrition guidelines - but that's all they are: guidelines. It's up to you to figure out what works best for you. It's also so important for you to find a way to move your body that feels good for you. If you don't like to run, don't run. Exercise should be both enjoyable and make you feel good, so if it doesn't do either of these things, don't do it. Finding your ideal sleep schedule is an important step to supporting your authentic body. You maybe need more - or less - sleep than your friends and both are totally valid. I also talk about how to dress to support your authentic body, and the importance of the words you use for yourself. Think about how amazing your ideal body is. Do you want to get to know it better? Today you are in your amazing body. You start showing up for your authentic body now. How does it like to be talked to? Rested? Fed? Worked out? Dressed? Ask those questions and dive in. It's so worth it. Let me know what you're thinking in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  Why it's important to learn how your body functions best [3:15] What an ectomorph body type is [11:00] What a mesomorph body type is [11:45] What an endomorph body type is [12:45] How to talk to your authentic body [14:45] How to eat for your authentic body and body type [18:30] What happens when you find out your authentic body's ideal exercise [21:30] What dressing for your authentic body looks like [26:00]   Quotes “For me, showing up and knowing what it feels like to be in my authentic body is so much better than any goal weight or any goal body fat percentage or any parameter like that. It engages the mind-body connection, and ultimately, that is what we have to do for long-term, sustainable results.” [4:45] “As I was starting to see that I was feeling so good, some of the things that I used to view as restriction became extremely clear that it wasn't restriction. It was honoring my authentic body. All of a sudden, everything changed.” [19:36] “In order to achieve fat loss or whatever your primary goal is, you can eat all of the things some of the time, you just do all of the things all of the time. When you think of it that way, it feels restrictive. But when you think of it as, ‘I feel amazing in my authentic body, what can I do to show up for it?' Things will change for you. That's when our plan does not seem restrictive any longer.” [20:27]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 95: Choosing Health Not Diet Culture Episode 105: Go All In On You Episode 101: You Are Enough

With much anticipation of imminent cyber warfare attacks increasing from Russia, in the midst of the ongoing onslaught of the Ukraine, out of a sense of urgency the next two podcasts were recorded. If you have not ensured that your work internet is secured, you will definitely want to listen as Cyber Security Expert Debi Carr joins Susan and Janice at the table to discuss what really needs to be done to protect any business from cyber warfare. Episode Highlights The current landscape of cyber warfare Cyberwarfare is not contained to a country Four layers of cybersecurity protection Quotes "For us to have it in our heads that it's happening over there and it could never affect us here, is a myth…” “We are all still very vulnerable to this situation. The threat is real.” “We work off IP addresses and you never know if that IP address is in Russia, the Ukraine or wherever.” “If that email happens to have a trojan in it and they click on it, then it can affect all computers.”  “ A lot of phishing emails are trying to get donations, creating fears that compel action - it all about the money.” “Do not follow any links in an email. If you get an invoice, do not enable ANY macros (should be a popup).” “Be careful where you are internet surfing.  Between February 25 2020 and March 25, 2020, over 500k websites were created and the FBI estimates that over 450k of them held malicious code in them.” “Google ads can be cloned by not the real company they supposedly represent and have malicious code downloaded into your computer by simply clicking.” “We need to have a culture of security by having layers of security.” “No personal emails on your work computer.” “Every business in the US should have a firewall.”  “Every business should have a perimeter defense.” “They need a firewall that needs an active IDS that is constantly updating, like a traffic cop standing on the corner, making sure that all traffic has permission to be there.”  “Use active directory to grant user permissions for a workplace server.” “Guest accounts should have restrictions in the active directory setup.” “Always use a VPN on your phone or laptop at a restaurant or hotel when accessing their internet.” “Using Google's Incognito protects your privacy in search but does not protect from malicious coding.” “The purpose of an active backup is to get back up as quickly as possible in the event of a malicious attack or crash.” “The four layers need to be in your practice or workplace.” Links & Resources  Debi Carr's Website:     https://dkcarr.com/  DK Carr & Associates Phone:  (844) 352-2771 Janice Janssen's Website:   GTSGurus.com (sign up for the newsletter) GTS Phone:  844-664-4487 Susan's Website:  https://SusanGunnSolutions.com  (sign up for the newsletter) SGS Phone:  888-994-3167 Book Money In, Money Out: Financial Organization In Your Practice  Book Getting The Most Out of QuickBooks In Your Practice   Book Advanced QuickBooks In Your Practice   Ask The Expert Online Consultation

Do you know who is on your support team? According to Mike Pagan, coach and author of Mental Wealth: Unlock Your Potential, Enrich Your Life, the first step to mental wealth is determining who is on your team.  Mental wealth is the bank we can draw from when we are facing challenges in our lives. The most important strategy when creating mental wealth is putting together a support team of people who have our backs no matter what. With the right team behind us, challenges and mistakes will be easier to overcome. Mike explains that the easiest way to figure out who is in that support network is to make a list of names and rank them from one to ten. Only the 8s, 9s, and 10s count when it comes to building mental wealth. Tune into this week's episode of Powerful Marketing Tips for a conversation about mental wealth. Learn how to build and strengthen your support network, participate in intentional mindfulness, put yourself first, and work more effectively.    Quotes • “For me, a lot of my focus is very much on having the right support team around. Over my years of business, when I haven't had the right people that's when I've made the mistakes or I've had the challenges. Having good people around you doesn't mean you're not going to make mistakes. It just means you bounce back far more effectively.” (01:16-01:40)  • “Isolation…kills creativity and prevents decision-making.” (02:34-02:39) • “For me, it's not about networking. It's about understanding the power within our network.” (03:30-03:42) • “Self-care for me is a simple starting block…We have to be number one…If we're not number one we can't support others.” (07:38-08:00) • “I don't want anybody listening to this to go and work harder. I want them to be more effective when they're working.” (13:52-13:58) • “I just want people to create a list of names of people that they believe are part of their support team, their connections that are good for them. Some of those names will be quite random…It's who you think is supporting you. Then I want you to score them. Where 1 is a low score, 10 is a high score. And this is totally subjective…Don't give them a bigger score because you think they might be offended and don't give them a low score because you want to be mean…If you've scored somebody 1 to 3, then you know them, they're an acquaintance but they haven't got your back…If you scored somebody a 4 or a 5 then you know them because there is a reason. They might be part of a sport you're involved in, part of your community, the school your children go to. However, if you are away for a month or two...when you turn up they'll say, ‘Oh, great to see you again'… they won't ring you in between but they'll be very chirpy when they see you, because of the reason. You've then got your 5s and 6s. A lot of these people will be your good friends…however, the one thing you're not comfortable doing with these guys is talking about finances, ideas, goals, big plans. They're not going to get your intimate vulnerability…then your 8, 9s and 10s. These are the people who you are comfortable saying anything and everything to. They've got your confidence, they've got your back. If they don't hear from you for a little while they will pick up the phone and…hold you accountable…When it comes to creating a mental wealth team, it's only the 8, 9s and 10s that count. Everybody else is noise.” (15:32-18:09)   Links Connect with Mike Pagan: • Website: www.mikepagan.com • Mike Pagan's short video on mental wealth: https://www.mikepagan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/whatismentalwealth-c.mp4 • LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikepagan/   Get access to our Spotify playlist with all of our guests' favorite songs: • https://powerful-marketers.com/podcast/    https://powerful-marketers.com/guest-application/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

What does it take to nurse a child with special needs? Author, shoemaker, and health advocate Christina Chiu knows just what it takes as her son was born with a rare syndrome. She joins Yuliana today to share her inspiring phoenix tale on how she takes on the challenges that come her way and how she continues to do what it takes to give her son the best life possible. Christina starts the conversation by discussing the event that reshaped her life — mothering her son who was born with a rare medical condition. She talks about how she dealt with her sense of hopelessness when her son was in the NICU and how she has grown to be more spiritual, embracing a mathematical idea of God. She then delves into her drive for more people to know their story, writing a memoir detailing her experiences as a result, and about dealing with uncertainties in the future. The episode rounds off with Christina identifying one person she would travel back in time to speak with, her grandmother, to ask her how she had so much courage - a level of courage that, as we hear today, has undeniably been passed on to Christina herself.   Episode Highlights: -   The challenging events that have redirected the course of Christina's life -   A rare syndrome rears its head -   Handling the sense of hopelessness during her son's surgeries -   A childhood memory that sparked a realization -   A mathematical idea of God -   Starting a memoir about her experience -   Navigating the sibling dynamic between her sons -   Dealing with uncertainties of the future -   One person Christina would go back in time to speak with   Quotes: “For all the mothers who are going to hear this, I think it's so important that, when you feel like something's not right, you may not have the actual proof that something's not right, but you should follow up on it.” “We are so limited in the few senses that we have, that for us to be able to comprehend God is just out of our realm of understanding.” “The best and the most truthful things are moments - whether it be something you create in art or literature or whatever - are in those transcendent moments.” “He's always that kid who notices when someone's being left out. He has this way of bringing light into the room, and I think I'm just lucky to be around him.” “A lot of it is approaching your fears and learning to not be afraid and to constantly stretch yourself.” “How do women not feel afraid? How does anyone not feel afraid?”   Links: https://www.yulianakimgrant.com/phoenix-tales (Phoenix Tales Homepage) https://www.instagram.com/yulianakimgrantofficial/ (Phoenix Tales on Instagram) https://open.spotify.com/show/1heIpPMsG6HbXXIDLmAnEe (Phoenix Tales on Spotify) https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322043276201679 (Phoenix Tales on Facebook) https://www.christinachiu.org/ (Christina's Homepage)

“When you are thankful, you live in a world of abundance,” says host May Yeo Silvers. As Thanksgiving comes to an end, May can't help but wonder why we give extra gratitude only once a year instead of every day. In today's episode, May discusses how being thankful can positively impact the success of your business.  Even though life can get busy, it is always important to slow down and acknowledge everything that you are grateful for. Whether it's something big or small, May suggests writing some form of a gratitude journal that you can reflect on when things get tough. According to May, implementing a daily practice of gratitude will increase your happiness and make it easier for you to tackle any challenge with grace. Not only will it positively affect your life, but it will also make you a better entrepreneur.  Tune into this week's episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the importance of celebration and how to implement gratitude into your daily routine, so you can maintain an abundant life and prosperous business.    Quotes • “For me, being thankful and full of gratitude is important, but sometimes we don't give enough time, attention and energy to it because life gets in the way.” (03:18-03:40) • “We really need to make an effort to appreciate everything that we have in our life, big or small.” (04:57-05:09) • “We have the control to minimize the impact of unpleasant things happening, or even eliminate the possibility, if we do our due diligence, especially in business..” (09:26-09:39) • “Celebration doesn't just come from financial strength. This means you don't just celebrate when you get a big client, you celebrate every single thing in your business, especially something you haven't done before.” (12:03-12:23) • “Big milestones and financial gains should be broken down into many milestones, so that they are achievable.” (13:45-13:49) • “You should be thankful and grateful for something in your life every single day.” (15:25-15:32) • “When you are thankful, you live in a world of abundance.” (16:30-16:36)   Links Connect with me at: may@events4anyone.com Website: events4anyone.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mayyeosilvers Facebook: www.facebook.com/mayyeosilvers IG: www.instagram.com/mayyeosilvers TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayyeosilvers  FB private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/events4anyone   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Learn how to seek help, ask thoughtful questions, and destigmatize your own thinking about neurodivergence and mental health.    Quotes  • “For women, it is more common to be diagnosed [with neurodivergence] as an adult than it is as a child. And the reason for that is, with men or boys, they tend to show ADHD symptoms more externally… Where for females...we internalize it. We think, ‘Okay, how can we fix this? How do we show up differently?...Why do I have to work so much harder? It looks so easy for someone else.' Not knowing that our brain is actually different. The true brain chemistry is different. Without understanding that, we're just going down this path of, ‘Okay, I'm different. I have to work harder. I have to hide it.'” (18:51-20:02) • “Neurodiverse is this idea that it's normal and acceptable for people to have brains that function differently.” (21:26-21:32) • “One of the things that often manifests with women as adults with ADHD is the lack of self-compassion... You're able to give it away freely to everyone else, but to have that for you is incredibly hard.” (28:48-29:17) • “I am a huge proponent of therapy. I think your mental health is just as important, if not more, than your physical health. So I will scream from the rooftops that everybody should do therapy. There is no stigma around it. Take care of your mind.” (32:49-33:04) • “Everybody should find their superpower. Regardless of a diagnosis or not...you are on this planet for a reason. You are made unique for a reason. How do you find what you're good at and be in your flow?” (33:52-34:06) • “Any neurodivergent diagnosis does not look the same for everyone. So whatever that is, find experts that are familiar with your diagnosis... And get really curious. Get really curious about seeking help, asking questions. You don't have to do it alone.” (36:14-36:49) • “From an employer perspective, I would say educate yourself on what being neurodivergent is. Because I guarantee you, there's a large part of your population that is neurodivergent that you don't know about.” (37:34-37:46)   Links Email Nickolett at nickolett.hocking@designit.com  Connect on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickolett-hocking-39a06948/    Some of Nickolett's favorite resources for self-work you can do to understand ADHD and identify your own superpowers: https://instagram.com/adhdoers https://instagram.com/thepsychdoctormd https://www.adhdawarenessmonth.org https://www.additudemag.com   Connect with a coach at https://www.hruprise.com/   Follow us on social media:  • Twitter: https://twitter.com/hruprise • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hruprise/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HRuprise/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hruprise/

Welcome to the Kayleigh O'Keefe Show!   What does it take to awaken our inner servant leader? That is the question that Katrijn Van Oudheusden helps aspiring servant leaders answer. Katrijn is an international bestselling author with her chapter in The X Factor: The Spiritual Secrets Behind Successful Executives and Entrepreneurs and is a coach to servant leaders around the world. In today's episode, Katrijn teaches us the philosophy of letting the ego fall away and going with the flow to achieve a more fulfilling and less stressful life.   Tune into this week's episode of The Kayleigh O'Keefe Show to learn more about: • The concept of servant leadership • How to change your internal landscape and let go of your ego • How to become more attuned to your intuition • And why servant leadership lives within all of us!   Quotes • “For the longest time, servant leadership has been out there as a set of qualities that leaders can embody and a moral ideal to strive for. I want to be a servant leader; I want to do good, be good, and be of service to others.” (3:20-3:40) • “For me, I found out that servant leadership is what we really are. It's our true nature as human beings if we get our ego out of the way.” (5:04-5:16) • “We are not the control mechanism doing our lives. This is really key, because with servant leadership we think it's something we need to figure out and then do.  But it's the opposite. It's not only seeing I can transcend this ego thing, this deficit thing. It's also seeing: I'm not doing my life. I'm being lived. This body and this mind is here in this universe and this reality and it's being lived and I can let go and flow with that.” (12:20-13:01) • “You see very clearly that what is happening is what is supposed to be happening because nobody is controlling anything.” (17:50-17:55) • “We have to fire our minds from the position of CEO. We've made the mind the CEO of everything. We think everything can be solved by using thinking or knowledge or the mind. And that's not true, because our actual nature is more the heart or intuition or being in service, whatever name you give it, awareness, being. That's also and maybe even more what we are than the mind. Because the mind appears to us. Thoughts appear to us and we don't control them.” (31:44-32:27)   Links  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrijnvo/  Website: https://katrijnvanoudheusden.com/    Get published with Soul Excellence Publishing: ​​https://soulexcellencepublishing.com/ Visit Kayleigh's website: https://kayleighokeefe.com/  Schedule an Author Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/kayleigh-okeefe/solo-book-writing-publishing     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

How does the death of a parent redirect the course of one's life? Judy Glassman joins Yuliana on today's episode as she recounts the painful experience of losing her mother to brain cancer, the joy of finding yoga, and transitioning into a new career at a later age for a meaningful life. Judy begins the conversation by describing the challenging event that reshaped her life - losing her mother to brain cancer rapidly and having to bear that weight solely.  She goes on to discuss how she coped by compartmentalizing and finding time to remind herself to breathe, finding peace in yoga, and starting a career in yoga therapy even at a later age. As is the tradition on Phoenix Tales, our guest closes out this moving and inspirational episode by describing the song that most resonates with her life.   Episode Highlights: -   The challenging event that redirected the course of Judy's life -   Bearing the weight of it all -   Coping by compartmentalizing -   The complicated process of grieving as the main caretaker -   How Judy's independence helped her through her mom's death -   Seeking healing in yoga -   What is yoga therapy? -   Starting a new career at a later age -   Planning for the future -   The one song that resonates with Judy's life   Quotes: “For 10 minutes every morning, I allowed myself to do nothing and stare out the window and breathe.” “During that time, I simply was the caretaker with my own ball of emotions .” “No matter how young or old you are, a parent's death follows you and gets more difficult as you get older rather than less difficult.” “I was my mother's first priority. And that changed.” “I ultimately, really, completely healed myself with yoga.” “We get to focus on a person's challenges and not see them as anything negative, but just to be able to give them the power, and help heal them through these modalities.” “I am careful about my own practice so that I don't overdo it.”   Links: https://www.yulianakimgrant.com/phoenix-tales (Phoenix Tales Homepage) https://www.instagram.com/yulianakimgrantofficial/ (Phoenix Tales on Instagram) https://open.spotify.com/show/1heIpPMsG6HbXXIDLmAnEe (Phoenix Tales on Spotify) https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322043276201679 (Phoenix Tales on Facebook) https://www.judyglassmanyoga.com/ (Judy Glassman Yoga) http://judyglassmanyoga@gmail.com (Email Judy)

In this week's episode of Energetically You, I had the pleasure of interviewing Megan Sweet, an expert in leading community-driven education transformation in high-need schools and districts. With more than 25 years of experience in education, and 15 years directly leading changes in schools, districts, and statewide in California, she  knows that education is the most important lever we have for creating a more equitable society.   She also knows that the best way to realize true change is by supporting and empowering individuals to lead the changes they envision for their school communities.    The topics we touched on: How considering the burnout factor is so key in the education sector. A process she has developed to take care of yourself while also being more effective at work. How she failed to take her own advice, and burned out (again) and what she has learned from that experience The one technique that she uses every day that has served her the most to communicate better.  Quotes “For me as a change leader, I saw we didn't have the tools we needed to manage the overload.”   “I started integrating mindfulness practices into my own life, I was already doing it, but I started bringing it into my workday.”   “I noticed that just by doing these practices myself that my interaction with others shifted.”   “I demystify mindfulness for educators...it's just an invitation, but I also have all the science to back it up.”   “For me as a single Mom, self-care can look like taking a few extra minutes in the bathroom, or it could be not looking at my phone at the stop lights anymore.”     Thank you for listening!   If you enjoyed this episode you might also like: How we can strengthen our communities leveraging technology with Verity Dimock How Each Of Us Can Leverage The Power Of Gratitude   When you are listening please take a screenshot and share it on social media and tag me @meganswanwellness !  We would really appreciate it.

In this week's episode of Energetically You, I had the pleasure of chatting with my colleague Bailey Guilloud.   She is an intuitive healer, coach, sleep expert, hypnotherapist and lucid dreamer.  She's driven by her mission in expanding consciousness within herself, her clients and across the collective.  We discussed all the ins and outs of getting a good night's sleep.  The topics we touched on:   Why she is so passionate about helping others find quality sleep. Tools that can help you sleep and or heal your relationship with sleep. Her thoughts on sleeping pills. Why REM sleep is the hardest to get but also the most important. The added pressure that insomnia brings when you don't know why you can't sleep or stress is keeping you awake and what you can do. How having an external source for energy, like coffee, is interfering with our ability to really connect to our sleep cycle.   Quotes   “For me it was always a combination of things, it was hard for me to fall asleep...I had a lot of mind chatter...our minds chatter a lot and then would translate into me not being able to sleep but also in me waking up anxious in the middle of the night or too early.”   “There are so many holistic remedies to help you to sleep more, I think sleeping pills should be a last resort unless you are already taking them.”   “Melatonin doesn't produce sleep, but it does determine what time you are sleeping...so having regulated balance hormones is key.”   “A lot of us are not aware of how long coffee has an effect on us...a lot of us have a cultural obsession or identity around coffee...but we need to take a realistic perspective…” Thank you for listening!   If you enjoyed this episode you might also like: Lauren Johnston on How to Reclaim your Feminine Power and Build Self-trust Mindful Drinking with Genevieve Pardoe + Candice Lashley   When you are listening please take a screenshot and share it on social media and tag me @meganswanwellness !  We would really appreciate it.
