4 Common Wellness Myths You Shouldn't Believe | Why there is No Prescription for Living & Being Well Wanting to live better and do better seems like a given. While the motivation can ebb and flow, most of us see the value in making the most out of the lives we lead. Oftentimes we think if we can model after people who seem happy with their lives, it increases our chances of finding happiness ourselves. In truth, there is no prescription for happiness. There is no one size fits all when it comes to living a life of meaning and fulfillment That's because we are each different. What any given person needs to ensure a high quality of life, is not going to translate across the board. For this reason, self-discovery is paramount. If you want to get a sense of what wellness looks like for you, go inwards, pay attention, focus on what feels good, and what IS good for you - regardless of what outside opinions or the majority rules has to say on the subject. Wellness is not a cookie cutter template from which we can copy and paste. To attain wellness in life, be prepared to put in the focus, the discipline, the motivation and the work to train yourself to live a life you know is best for you. Any questions?

Little did she know what was in store. Marcia has written over fifty business plans, and helped entrepreneurs strategize over how to differentiate their companies in changing environments. After helping other entrepreneurs start their companies, she decided to found her own business consulting practice, Performance Architect, in 2012 and co-founded Positive Business DC that same year.She suffered a major stroke in 2014. Marcia applied her skills in planning and strategy as she strived to become whole. She never gave up. Over time she learned to walk again, but Marcia struggled with aphasia, a language disorder. She joined Toastmasters International® hoping to regain her speaking abilities. It helped some, but in August 2017 she discovered a technological breakthrough that minimized her speaking disability. She then pushed beyond her comfort zone to become a Toastmasters International Club Officer in 2017, then Area Director in 2019.Marcia created Stroke FORWARD because she felt there is a need to share hope with stroke survivors and their caretakers. Learning to become her own health advocate one step a time and exploring holistic methods for healing are keys to her recovery. Marcia speaks and shares her message of hope, inspiration, healing, and a way forward as she goes across the country. She welcomes new opportunities to help individuals affected by major health crises move ahead.Marcia lives with her husband Jim, two very loud cats, and two birds near Washington, DC. Jim played a role of caretaker and advocate. His observations and experiences are also captured in Stroke FORWARD. On weekends, Marcia, Jim, and the cats go to Deep Creek, Maryland where Marcia paints watercolors. In the evening Marcia and Jim sit out on the deck and watch fireflies flit by.Marcia holds a B.S. in Political Science with a magna cum laude from the University of North Dakota and a Master’s in Business Administration, from Chapman University, in California. A woman of many talents, she attended school in Sandefjord, Norway to study art. She also earned a certificate in Well-being Foundations of Personal Transformation from the Personal Transformation and Courage Institute in Virginia.Resources:Top 12 Tips for Recovery: https://www.strokeforward.com/bookbonusWebsite: www.StrokeForward.coFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/StrokeForwardTwitter: https://twitter.com/Stroke_ForwardLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marciamoran/

In this episode of Immigration Law for Tech Startups, I’m thrilled to be joined by my trusted colleague and longtime friend Lindsey Mignano, founding partner of Smith Shapourian Mignano, a corporate law firm based in San Francisco that focuses on startups. We often assist each other’s startup clients with corporate structuring and immigration matters. Today, Lindsey shares her vast expertise in establishing and structuring startups and her insights on industry trends and the best strategies for raising funds, taking on investors, and growing a startup. Lindsey says investment activity is returning after coming to a screeching halt during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic. She cited a recent study by First Republic Bank that found that 70% of investors are growing more comfortable deploying Series A or larger investments without an in-person meeting. This greater flexibility among venture capitalists also signals greater comfort with remote founders. Previously, investors would require an in-person meeting, as well as require the founding team to immigrate to the U.S. as a condition for funding. But with COVID-19 and given that working remotely has gone well since March, investors are becoming “location-agnostic,” Lindsey says.   Although investment activity has resumed, Lindsey points out that smaller pre-seed and seed funds are expected to do fewer deals this year, and larger funds are contracting slightly in this tough economy. Based on her firm’s clients, “we’ve found that those startups that can afford to bootstrap are taking the time to do that now because the practical reality is that COVID is throwing their business metrics and milestones off,” she says. “So, they’re taking time to regroup, reorganize, figure out how they can meet milestones before presenting new data to potential investors. I would say that’s wise, not only because of the COVID-19 world we’re living in, but because this is an acquirer-friendly, investor-friendly negotiating environment. It’s not a startup-friendly financing environment” Lindsey also pointed to a memo that Sequoia Capital sent to its founders and CEOs during the early days of COVID-19 before shelter-in-place became a reality that all startup founders should use as a guide to ensure the health of their business. Please share this episode with any startup founders or entrepreneurs who can benefit from it. Reach out to us if we can help you determine your immigration options whether you’re in the U.S. or abroad.   In this episode, you’ll hear about: The best practices for structuring and forming your startup—and where—to attract U.S. investors whether you’re in the U.S. or abroad The difference between a Delaware C corp and a Delaware S corp What a Delaware flip is The best place to establish your startup How long and how much it will typically cost to establish your startup in the U.S. How pre-seed, Avocado seed, seed, and Series A funding is defined in the U.S. Why you should specify the investment in dollars that your startup is seeking Funding trends that have developed during the COVID-19 pandemic The best practices for structuring a startup if a co-founder is on an H-1B visa How salaries for founders and top executives should figure into fundraising The difference between a safe note and a price round The best strategies for raising capital, getting the best deals—and closing them quickly When do investors expect a seat on the board of your startup Rookie mistakes to avoid when working with venture capitalists and other investors What startup founders need to know about California wage and hour laws Don’t miss my upcoming conversations with other top Silicon Valley venture capitalists, startup founders, professors, futurists, and thought leaders on Immigration Law for Tech Startups.

The outspoken #CRE Broker and social media influencer (11k+ followers on Twitter), Duke Long, joins Bold founder, Caleb Parker to share the story behind his Top 100 people in commercial real estate to follow on Twitter list and explain his recent rants about the negative pitching that is happening in CRE during the current pandemic, including on social media and in the press. In this uncensored episode we find out what Duke thinks the “new normal” will be after lockdown, what the office sector can learn from the events industry to entice people back to the office, if remote work will accelerate Space-as-a-Service, and whether commercial real estate remains a stable investment if the future of commercial real estate is flexible. And finally once and for all we find out who really invented the hashtag #Space-as-a-Service. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity.

I Will.” According to a CoreNet Global survey released last Wednesday, 69% Of Companies Plan To Shrink Office Footprint, Increase Remote Work. What’s going to happen to all the space left empty? Historically commercial real estate was a stable and predictable investment - how do you expect this to change? What questions should commercial real estate investors be asking right now to prepare their portfolios for the future? Who in #CRE should people be tuning into for advice or examples of leadership during this crisis? The very first episode of this podcast was with our mutual friend, Antony Slumbers talking about the Trillion Dollar Hashtag: Space-as-a-Service. For a long time there’s been a debate on who invented that term. Who should get the credit ? Value Bombs & Tweetables Covid-19 accelerates the flexible working movement Stop pitching.

Joshua Becker joins us for part 3 of our summer 9-part series on the Fruit of the Spirit. Joshua is the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to inspiring others to find more life by owning less. Joshua lives in Peoria, Arizona with his wife, son, and daughter. Conversation Notes: 3:51 - How cleaning out a garage led to exploring minimalism 6:00 - "Not only was everything I owned not making me happy, even worse, everything I owned was taking me away from things that did bring me happiness and purpose and meaning and significance and joy." 6:54 - Possessions have become a big distraction in a lot of people's lives 8:00 - Ideas on how owning less can help us be more effective in our parenting. 9:28 - When we focus less than the things we do not have we have opportunity to appreciate the things that we do have. 10:31 - "It is about aligning our lives around our values as opposed to being distracted by things that do not matter in the long run" 12:05 - More stuff never resolves our discontentment 13:18 - Jesus  said, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Luke 12:15 13:40 - Examining our motivations behind work and collecting more stuff 17:12 - How minimalism opened Joshua's eyes to a new passion and approach to orphans and adoption. 18:30 - The Hope Effect 20:30 - Multi-generational influence of Joshua's family 22:50 - “I want to be as engaged and live each day as meaningfully as I possibly can” 23:50 - The big mistake of how much time and energy was invested into chasing the wrong things 24:30 - The mistake of wanting his kids to have the same qualities and attributes as their dad 25:10 - “So much of parenting is being intentional. So much is just studying our children and learning who they are.” 27:20 - Joshua describes two types of peace - peace in our circumstances and peace with the life that we're living 28:25 - “We can find peace in how we know that we're doing our best even though our best isn't perfect. I can still find peace in the life that I'm living.” 29:33 - “When the world is turning upside-down, when we're in these moments of trial and turmoil, we can know that there is a God who loves me, who is watching out for me, and a God who knows best.” 29:56 - “The things that are taking place around me may not bring me happiness; they may not bring me joy; they may be very difficult. But I always have that rock that I fall back upon. I can know that no matter how hard the wind is blowing… I have an anchor, and there is a God who loves me and is taking care of me and is watching over me.” 31:41 - Joshua talks about the benefits of fewer toys (both for kids and adults) 32:30 - Research about fewer toys leading to creativity and imagination and problem solving and contentment 35:00 - “Kids who don't learn boundaries become adults who don't define them for themselves.” 36:00 - “We overcome envy by focusing on the blessings we have, focusing on our uniqueness and what makes us special, and knowing we're directing our resources on what matters the most. This is where we overcome envy and start to find peace in our lives.” 37:06 - “We we find our greatest peace when... we know we're being intentional with our time and our money and our schedule and our space... when we can say I'm doing in this moment what I think God would have me to do... that this is where we find peace in our lives."

Soccer offers students many benefits as they mature through the development years, but benefits of soccer don't stop there. In this episode, we explore how the game of soccer can connect us with 3.5 Billion fans around the world and create networking opportunities in situations far removed from the soccer field throughout life.  Soccer is Big Everywhere! Soccer is the biggest game in the world! Between the players and the fans, you're more likely to run into someone who knows and loves the game of soccer than any other game in the world.  250 Million players world-wide in 200 countries 12 Million players every year in the US 3.5 Billion fans around the world The biggest single sport in the United States is American Football - which has 400 Million fans. This hardly comes close to the numbers of people we find in the game or supporting the game of soccer. You can travel to more than 200 countries, pick up a soccer ball, kick it, and it's GAME ON for you and those around you.  Benefits of Soccer Beyond the Pitch The chances of you running into someone who is somehow affiliated with the game of soccer are significant. Whether you're a soccer parent, an adult player, a former youth player, or a rabid fan who rides the busses around Europe to follow your favorite team, there is a good chance you're going to share the game with someone in just about any room you walk into - for life! If networking is all about finding common ground, knowing, liking, and wanting to get to know others, then the beautiful game is a great addition to the professional's toolbox. Discussions about the game transcend language, age, race, and can almost always draw a smile. Try kicking a ball to someone's feet and see how they respond!  Benefits of Soccer as a Universal Language The rules of soccer are universal. It doesn't matter what culture you come from, what language you speak, or what problems you wrestle with, the benefits of soccer can help us win together in the game of life!

However, when I would talk about leaving, it was so scary to imagine what life would look like in the future.” Have you had a partner that would make you feel like you would not be able to financially support yourself and/or your kids if you left them? “I never imagined when I got married that it would end in divorce.”  You just don’t know what your future will look like and having the facts helps you make decisions for your future. Finding happiness in the core of who you are, allowing yourself to grieve through the process, and allowing yourself to find joy and a healthy mindset will pave the way to building your confidence. Women are good at making decisions if they have all the facts. Sometimes we feel it must be so terrible that we have no other option before we leave, but that is not always the case. We have choices. In this episode, Julie talks about her journey of making the tough decisions in order to take back control in her life. By surrounding herself with objective experts that helped guide her through the process of leaving, Julie was able to make the tough decisions that ultimately led her to realize the greatest gift in all of it – feeling empowered, becoming a homeowner on her own, and creating new and amazing memories with her daughters in her own space. A lot of times people are afraid to engage more than just their attorney in this process. However, it is valuable to have a different perspective, different areas of expertise that can come alongside you to help you through this process. At the end of the day, it is about what the money means versus what is in your bank account. Having the facts about your finances can make a huge difference and step-by-step, building up your confidence. You must be able to trust your gut. Interview your experts to find the ones that will listen to you and help you navigate through this time in your life. You deserve that. You do not have to go through this alone. Julie Hoelle is a working mother, yogi and community volunteer. She has a walk-the-walk, talk-the-talk perspective on making the decision to divorce and allowing yourself the space to believe in yourself, to be happy, and to be financially confident. In this episode, we discuss: How to manage through the fear of leaving your marriage from a financial standpoint How life will look post-divorce Self-care and how to navigate and preserve what is important starts with making time for what is important to you How seeking the RIGHT experts can help you through the tough decisions The importance of understanding your own financial security Knowing when to call it quits and finding the confidence to move forward Closing out the noise The importance of maintaining your support system Being open to trusting that it will be okay. You do not need to go through this alone. "If when we get into a difficult situation, our will or courage lessens, and we fall into the laziness of feeling inferior. Thinking that we could not possibly accomplish such a difficult task, this diminishment of will cannot protect us from any suffering. It is important to generate courage corresponding to the size of the difficulties." - Dalai Lama We, as women, can do so much more than we give ourselves credit for. When we really need to dig down to fight for something that we truly believe in, we can do it.

Collis Ta'eed - Our guest this week was recently named one of the Top 10 Richest Bloggers in the World! However, that can be slightly misleading because his company is far from a blog (in fact, just insinuating that he is in the same genre as Perez Hilton makes my skin crawl).  Not only is he an extremely successful on-line business mogul, but his entire blog and business is built around educating the world on-line.  In fact, the company motto is, "Helping people learn and earn online." In this episode we discuss what it takes to be an entrepreneur, how you create one of the largest web based businesses in the world, and why on-line education IS the future. Collis Ta'eed is the CEO of Envato, a company that creates websites that help people from all over the world change the way they earn and learn online. Envato is empowering people with tools and services to develop new skills and make a living. They do this in the creative space with marketplaces and education platforms and materials that help people get creative! "As long as the scale of your ambition is realistic, there is usually space for niche businesses." - Collis Ta'eed Quotes from Collis: What we learn in this episode: How do you become one of the top ten richest bloggers on the planet? What is it like to start an internet business from scratch? What are the keys to making money on-line? What are the best traits for an entrepreneur?
