Confidence can make or break your career as a speaker, professional, or entrepreneur. Today, I sit down with Juan Bendana, one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the corporate circuit, to discuss how to build unshakeable confidence from the ground up. Juan shares his proven system for developing confidence in any area of life. Juan's journey to becoming a world-class speaker is remarkable. He went from bombing his first speech at a Rotary Club breakfast (literally wanting to run out of the restaurant) to becoming a bestselling author and speaking for companies like American Express, Zillow, and AT&T. In this in-depth conversation, Juan reveals his four-step "Confidence Cycle" that transforms fear into fuel. He also shares why rejection has become his secret weapon and explains how to show up authentically on any stage.  If you've ever felt terrified to step onto a stage, paralyzed by impostor syndrome or the fear of rejection and failure, Juan's journey will inspire you to take action today. "Confidence is not made for the select few who feel more confident than others. It is a choice that is accessible to anyone in any context at any time, but it does take a little bit of work." ~ Juan Bendana In This Episode: - Juan's journey of building confidence as a keynote speaker - Overcoming impostor syndrome and learning to handle rejection - What are the qualities of a great speaker? - How to develop the confidence to be authentic on stage - Handling criticism and haters - The inspiration behind Juan's book: the confidence flywheel - How to build confidence after a failure - The fresh start theory: create your fresh start - How to order Juan's new book, Confident by Choice Don't miss Jen's FREE Get Paid To Speak Challenge!

This episode is a conversation with Brittany Sabatino, the owner of Arlo.Hendrix. A store that carries children's clothes, toys, and accessories, Arlo.Hendrix is located in the heart of The Mercantile.Between the candy and the candles, The Mercantile in general is an inherently bright experience, but for Brittany, brightness seems to be a primary value for her shop. There's a distinct positivity you feel in both Brittany's presence and in her store. But the thing is - positivity is hard to maintain over time. It's easy to be positive all the time when things are going well. But when you're facing supply change issues, an overloaded schedule, or a dry spell in her business, it's harder to maintain those good vibes. Still, for Brittany, bright colors and positivity seem to be part of her identity. I wanted to talk to Brittany about how she maintains that kind of resilience, even when things get too busy, too hard, or too draining. In other words, how do you build a business on optimism and keep it from running out?If you're a member of The 630, you'll be able to hear Brittani's "Batavia Favs" segment later this week—giving us an insider's guide to some of her favorite places in town.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 6, 2025 is: largesse • lahr-ZHESS • noun Largesse is a somewhat formal word that refers to the act of giving away money or the generosity of a person who gives away money. It can also refer to the money that is given away. // The community has benefited greatly from the largesse of its wealthiest family. // The local business owner is a philanthropist known for his largesse. See the entry > Examples: "Over the years, ShelterBox USA, an outgrowth of the Rotary Club and named for the relief boxes it distributes, has helped nearly 3 million people in some of the world's worst disaster zones. It hands out basic survival needs: tents, tools, and household supplies. Twice the organization has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for its life-preserving largesse." — The Olney (Texas) Enterprise, 20 Mar. 2025 Did you know? The English language has benefited from the largesse of Anglo-French, through which a generous number of words have passed; examples range from simple to account to desert. English speakers owe Anglo-French a huge thanks, in particular, for its adjective large. That word, meaning "generous, broad, or wide," is the source of both largesse and the familiar duo of large and enlarge. Most people understand enlarge to mean "to make larger," but a less common sense (used in Shakespeare's Henry V) is "to set free." Largesse also contains the notion of freedom, specifically with regard to a lack of financial constraints: it's not about having a "large" amount of money but rather being "free" with it. Incidentally, the English word large wasn't about size when it was first adopted in the 13th century. Back then it meant "lavish."

This week, we're kicking off a brand new series that we'll be running throughout the year. Every so often I hope to share a new conversation with aldermen and alderwomen from various wards in Batavia. We'll go beyond typical policy discussions and get them talking about the human element of city governance – and how they personally interact with the challenges and opportunities that tend to come up. One other note: This week we launch The 630, an online and in-person community for supporters of Area Code: Batavia. Members receive monthly bonus content, access to an exclusive online community, free admission to monthly meet-ups, and an Area Code: Batavia sticker. Join now and you'll also receive an exclusive Area Code pin! This week, members will have access to two new bonus offerings: Behind The Mic: Why We Launched the 630Batavia Favs: Richard and Jennifer ClarkToday on the show, I talk to city council members Kevin Malone and Alice Lohman, representatives of Batavia's Ward 3. Kevin and Alice represent a Ward with a ton of variety. On one end there's the Holmstaad, a retirement community, and on the other there's Emagine theater. And their constituents are made up of a diverse array of people with all kinds of feelings about Batavia and their place in it. So how does someone balance the expectations and tensions that go into running a town like Batavia? And how do their decisions and efforts affect feelings of belonging in their community? And how do they feel about all of that? Well, that's what I wanted to know.

In the latest episode of 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael engaged in an enlightening conversation with the Community Foundation of Northern Shenandoah Valley (CFNSV). Janet was joined by the CFNSV's executive director, Nancy Baker, and Erik Beatley, the board chair, who shed light on the foundation's crucial role in the community and their efforts to bolster local nonprofits. Eric began by providing an overview of the Community Foundation's mission. Established 20 years ago, the CFNSV functions as a long-term savings account for both nonprofits and donors. With nearly $17 million in invested funds, managed by Mason Investments, even small nonprofits can benefit from significant investment opportunities and reduced fees by pooling their resources with CFNSV. Janet expressed the utility of the Community Foundation's service, highlighting how it simplifies charitable giving while ensuring donors' legacies are preserved and effectively managed. Erik added that the foundation reduces administrative burdens for donors by consolidating tax documentation and offering an easy-to-use online portal. Nancy, with her extensive experience in the nonprofit sector, emphasized her commitment to being a bridge between philanthropists and nonprofits. By identifying and addressing the immediate and long-term needs of local nonprofits, she thrives on making meaningful connections that lead to sustainable growth. She illustrated this with a story about helping nonprofits address transportation needs by matching them with donors interested in specific causes. Janet and Nancy also touched upon the grant application process. Each year, CFNSV offers training for nonprofits to navigate their grant portal, which opens in April. This system allows nonprofits to apply once to be considered for multiple grants, connecting them with donors whose interests align with their mission. This streamlined approach has proven immensely beneficial for smaller nonprofits without extensive development teams. Erik revealed exciting plans for a potential scholarship portal, which would simplify the application process for students by providing a one-stop shop for multiple scholarship opportunities. The new system aims to increase the number of applicants and streamline the selection process for decision-makers, ultimately benefiting the Shenandoah Valley's student community. Highlighting their innovation, Erik shared the success story of the 'Coats for Kids' initiative. Launched 13 years ago in partnership with the Rotary Club of Winchester, this program has grown from distributing 250 coats to over 1,000 annually. The distribution partners ensure the coats reach those in need, exemplifying the Community Foundation's impact on the ground. With an endowment fund goal of $600,000, the initiative aims to become self-sustaining and serve future generations. The episode concluded with Nancy encouraging listeners interested in contributing to funds like 'Coats for Kids' or starting their own philanthropic ventures to visit the CFNSV website: https://cfnsv.org/  Erik and Nancy reiterated their commitment to partnering with donors and nonprofits to ensure lasting community impact. They expressed their willingness to assist anyone interested in legacy giving or community support.

The Golden Age of Fraternalism lasted from 1870 to 1920 and was a time when fraternal organizations in the US had the largest surge of popularity. These organizations included the Knights of Columbus, the Rotary Club, the Freemasons, the Shriners and the Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows is one of the oldest orders and while they don't have a large membership today, they were very influential at one time. So influential, that the Catholic Church declared that anyone belonging to the organization was condemned. This meant that Odd Fellow members and their families couldn't be buried in Catholic cemeteries. They established their own cemeteries to fill the need and they are located across the country. Many of these cemeteries are black cemeteries and very significant for just that reason. On this Stones and Bones, we are going to explore a few of these cemeteries.  Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

Real estate investing is supposed to build your wealth. So why does it feel like you're building the IRS's bank account instead? You're hustling, buying properties, managing tenants, and navigating deals. Then tax season hits, and you're writing big checks to the government. What if you had a legal way to keep more of your money? Well, there is, and it isn't new; it's been around for decades. CPAs know it and the wealthy definitely use it. It's called cost segregation.  Cost segregation is a tax strategy that breaks down your property into components and depreciates them faster. That means more write-offs, bigger deductions, and less money to the IRS.  All 100% legal, all by the book. But how exactly does it work? What's the process behind it? Is it only for big, commercial buildings? In this episode, I'm joined by Jeff Hiatt, Director of New Business Development at MSC Consultants and a cost segregation expert. He breaks down what cost segregation is, how it can unlock significant tax savings, and why this powerful strategy remains surprisingly underutilized.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Why people don't know about cost segregation  What misconceptions might be preventing more investors from taking advantage of cost segregation? -The best way to use cost segregation  Cost segregation is most beneficial for property owners looking to accelerate depreciation on assets. When might cost segregation provide little to no advantage for a property owner? -Wipe out income tax liability Cost segregation allows real estate investors to significantly reduce or eliminate their income tax liability. How can this lead to major tax savings and more wealth? Guest Bio Jeff Hiatt is the Director of New Business Development at MS Consultants (MSC), a leading provider of cost segregation studies. Since joining MSC in 1999, Jeff has been instrumental in expanding the firm's presence in the New England area, establishing strong relationships with CPA firms, real estate professionals, and accounting societies. His efforts have contributed to MSC becoming a prominent name in the field of cost segregation.  A graduate of Indiana University, Jeff is a recognized expert in cost segregation and energy efficiency tax strategies. He has lectured extensively, providing Continuing Professional Education (CPE) training to accounting firms and tax institutes. His speaking engagements include notable organizations such as the Boston Tax Institute, Massachusetts Society of CPAs, and Maine Real Estate Developers Association.  Beyond his professional endeavors, Jeff is actively involved in his community. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and serves on the Board of Swim With A Mission, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans and their families.

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@hbgcapital662    "Professional Capital Raiser Shares How To Raise Money Immediately with Jay Conner"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99BpAmJOs_w If you're an aspiring or seasoned real estate investor, there's one hurdle that inevitably determines your growth: access to capital. How do you finance deals when traditional banks close their doors, market conditions shift, or you simply want more flexibility and profit? Jay Conner, a recognized authority in private money for real estate, has plenty of answers—and in a recent conversation with Brandon Cobb, he broke down the essential strategies and mindset shifts that have allowed him to thrive through market cycles.From Bank Loans to Private Money: Jay's BreakthroughJay Conner started investing in real estate in 2003, primarily focusing on single-family homes in the relatively small market of Eastern North Carolina. For years, he played by the traditional rules—going to local banks, submitting to their criteria, and letting lenders set the terms. That was until the financial crisis of 2009. Suddenly, despite a spotless record and strong deals under contract, Jay's line of credit was closed with no warning.Faced with the potential collapse of his deals and business, Jay asked himself a critical question: “Who do you know that can help fix your problem?” This led him to an old friend, who introduced him to the world of private money—individuals willing to lend their personal funds or retirement accounts for real estate investments, often at competitive rates and flexible terms.The Teacher's Mindset: Educating, Not BeggingJay's approach flipped the typical script. Instead of chasing after money, he put on his “teacher hat.” He proactively educated his network—friends, fellow churchgoers, Rotary Club members, and other contacts—about what private lending was, how it worked, and the safe, lucrative returns they could earn.A crucial point: Jay never asked anyone for money directly. He simply explained his private lending program, laid out the potential and security, and let interest organically develop. The goal was building trust, demystifying the opportunity, and leading with a servant's heart. As a result, he raised $2,150,000 in less than 90 days—without ever “pitching” a deal or acting out of desperation.Strategic Steps: Separating Education from the AskJay highlighted a key mistake many new investors make: mixing education about private lending with direct requests for funding on a specific deal. This can feel pushy and overwhelming, and it's the fastest way to turn off a potential private lender. Instead, he recommends two separate steps:Educate First: Explain your lending program, rates, security, and process. Answer questions, build confidence, and see who is interested in principle.The Good News Call: When the right deal is available, you make a simple call: “I've got great news—I can now put your money to work on this deal.” This assumes the groundwork is already laid and the lender trusts you.Expanding Beyond Your Inner CircleWhat happens when you've tapped your immediate network? Jay suggests organizations like Business Networking International (BNI) or local Rotary Clubs, which allow you to grow contacts exponentially. These groups thrive on referrals, and, as the only real estate investor in the group, you're uniquely positioned to connect with new potential lenders eager for better returns on their idle capital.Compliance & The Power of One-OffsA question that often arises: How do you make sure you're staying within SEC and legal boundaries? Jay makes it clear he only does “one-off” deals—each lender fund

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Georgia cracks down on fentanyl trafficking, with new sentencing law Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the Fentanyl Eradication and Removal Act, imposing stricter penalties for fentanyl trafficking. The legislation mandates a minimum five-year sentence for trafficking as little as four grams. Fentanyl, 100 times more potent than morphine, is often found laced in drugs like Adderall and Xanax, posing lethal risks, especially to teenagers. Senator Russ Goodman, who introduced the bill, emphasized its urgency, sharing personal stories of lives lost to fentanyl in his community. Kemp signed the bill alongside 19 others, aiming to combat the drug's devastating impact. STORY 2: Trip Elementary teacher fired, arrested for inappropriate contact with students Brandon Hill, a former Trip Elementary School teacher, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor simple battery and felony first-degree cruelty to children for allegedly inappropriate conduct with students in March. Hill, 29, was removed from the classroom immediately after the allegations surfaced and is no longer employed by Gwinnett County Public Schools. Investigations by police, child services, and the district are ongoing, with details of the incidents redacted or withheld. Hill was released on a $6,000 bond with conditions prohibiting contact with students. STORY 3: NCG Cinema taking over former AMC theater in Snellville this summer The former AMC theater at Presidential Markets in Snellville is reopening in June under NCG Cinema. To prepare, NCG is hosting a job fair on May 30-31 from noon to 6 p.m. at the theater, hiring for part-time roles in management, floor staff, and housekeeping.

We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Appellate court takes up mass voter eligibility challenges A federal appeals court heard arguments Tuesday on whether True the Vote's mass challenges to nearly 365,000 Georgia voters in 2020 constituted voter intimidation, particularly targeting minority voters. Fair Fight, a voting rights group, argued the challenges were frivolous and aimed to intimidate Black voters ahead of key Senate runoffs. True the Vote denied intent to intimidate, citing no direct voter contact. While a lower court ruled in True the Vote's favor in 2024, the judges questioned the group's motives, noting none of the challenges succeeded and criticizing their "reckless" methods. A decision is pending. STORY 5: Former Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond discusses his book with Rotary Club of Gwinnett Michael Thurmond, former Georgia legislator and labor commissioner, spoke at the Gwinnett County Rotary Club about his book, *James Oglethorpe, Father of Georgia: A Founder’s Journey from Slave Trader to Abolitionist*. The book, 30 years in the making, explores Oglethorpe’s transformation from a slave trader to an abolitionist and his role as the first white man in North America to oppose slavery. Thurmond’s journey began in 1996 during a visit to Oglethorpe’s grave in England, where a plaque described him as “the friend of the oppressed negro.” The book highlights Oglethorpe’s evolution and his impact on history, emphasizing the power of personal change.
