"Run your own race."   Dr Dan Bunstone joins Tara this week, discussing his career journey and his current role at Etcetera Health.   Dan explains the concept of lifestyle medicine and the importance of empowering individuals to manage their health, where they have onboarded and treated hard-to-reach patients, resulting in controlled blood pressure and potential savings of heart attacks and strokes.   Tara finishes the episode by asking Dan to provide advice for primary care networks, healthcare professionals, network managers, and tech companies..   Dan & Tara's key takeaways: Lifestyle medicine, focusing on exercise, good diets, and sleep patterns, can have a powerful impact on health and is often more effective than medication.

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we delve into the topic of intersectionality and how it impacts the experiences and resources of female founders and professionals in the workspace. To have that conversation, we incited Janine Vanessa Heinrich, a fervent advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in entrepreneurship.  Recognizing inequities, she champions initiatives for underrepresented founders and speaks on important (yet still overlooked) topics, such as standing in your power and lived experience as a woman of color, defining value-based goals to live by, avoiding and recovering from burnout, and redefining success and failure in the modern workspace.    Key Discussion Points: 03:23 Janine's Thesis on Intersectionality: How intersectionality influences the experiences and resources of female minority founders. 08:28 Crafting a Captivating Pitch And Securing Funding: How female entrepreneurs of color can make their pitches stand out and find the right investor for their startup. 19:12 Preventing Burnout: Defining what thriving means to you as “an only” and making the necessary changes to see it happening. 27:23 Overcoming Systemic Barriers and The "Just Do It" Mindset: How can minorities, especially women of color, do this in a way that protects our energy, our values, and our ability to thrive? 34:39 Shifting Our Perspective around Failure: Defining what you consider a “failure” and shifting that perspective in order to learn from it and live a more fulfilling life. 40:04 Getting Comfortable with Discomfort: Moving through discomfort to get to where you want to be while also understanding where your physical limits lie–and Janine's advice to help you thrive in 2024.   In Summary: Janine illustrates the intricacies of intersectionality and how it impacts minorities in entrepreneurship as well as corporate spaces. She invites us to reflect on it and encourages female minority founders and professionals to better understand what “success” and “failure” might look like for them, so they can forge a path that takes them to where they truly want to go.   Resources from this episode:  Janine's Podcast: https://www.ontheupandup.io/  Janine's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janine-vanessa/    Connect with your hosts: Follow Archita and Olivia on Linkedin.

(0:00:00) - #GirlPower (10 Minutes) The Entrepreneurial You host, Heneka Watkis-Porter welcomes Shiloh Johnson, the founder and CEO of ComplYant Technology Platform, a digital tax assistant tool. Shiloh is one of only ten black women to raise over ten million dollars in venture capital funding. After acknowledging the sponsors, the conversation shifts to Shiloh's background and the founding of ComplYant Technology Platform. The biggest challenges for small business owners managing taxes are lack of time, accruing late fees, and not treating the business like a business. (0:09:50) - Taxation for Small Businesses (3 Minutes) Taxes in America are location-based and multiple tiers of government authorities require payment of taxes and fees. A variety of deductions, grants, and credits are available to small businesses to incentivize economic growth. The registration process for businesses is not as difficult as many people think, and there are services to help guide people through it. Furthermore, budgeting and filing payments are important considerations for small businesses. (0:12:49) - Securing Funding for Underrepresented Entrepreneurs (6 Minutes) This portion of the conversation focused on how compliance technology platforms can help small business owners effectively manage their taxes. The platform provides users with an algorithm that can identify the various tax types that apply to their business and calendar those taxes out for the entire year. The platform provides budgeting systems and methods to save money to pay bills. The conversation then shifted to discuss the fundraising process for compliance and strategies for securing VC funding. The speaker advised underrepresented entrepreneurs looking to secure funding for their projects, suggesting that they work on themselves to present themselves confidently. (0:18:47) - Confidence and Self-Belief in FinTech (8 Minutes) A discussion on self-confidence and standing out in the business world was explored. It was noted that it is important to enter a room with confidence and not be afraid to be yourself - to be proud of who you are and your own culture. The conversation then shifted to the evolution of compliance since receiving funding and the plans for the future. It was mentioned that the goal is to make compliance simple for small business owners, with a focus on making it easy for them to answer yes or no questions and move on with their day. (0:26:33) - Benefits of Compliance (8 Minutes) Confidence plays a major role in securing funding for small businesses. This chapter explored the importance of fraud protection and compliance in the FinTech industry and discussed the impact of technology on small businesses. The conversation also focused on the lack of representation of Black women in the FinTech industry and how the founder of Compliance (Shiloh Johnson) is working to make a positive impact.

Delano´s tracy Heindrichs joined Tom on the Breakfast Show this morning for Delano´s Top Of the Week. Up for discussion was the outcome of COP27 which ended this sunday in Egypt. The two-week long event ended after a hefty weekend of negotiations that lasted until Sunday with the biggest outcome of the event being the agreement to create a climate finance fund which will be used to help poor countries when they're affected by climate disasters. The fund is likely going to take years to be set up, according to news agency Reuters, as the details of who will manage the fund, who will contribute and who will benefit from it will be decided. Still, the loss and damages fund remains a victory for many vulnerable countries. Tracy´s event picks for this week in Luxembourg include: - Tonight the Atelier communal in Rumelange, Luxembourg's Mutiny on the Bounty will be playing a gig for free. The show is put on by Spektrum which just opened a few days ago as a part of the Esch2022 culture year. - On Wednesday 23rd, the Network Luxembourg will organise a business event specifically for female entrepreneurs in Luxembourg City. Titled “"How to Build and Maintain a Thriving Business- From Concept and Planning to Execution and Securing Funding,” the event caters specifically to women entrepreneurs, who will be able to get some knowledge and key strategies from experts in the field. - On Friiday 25th The Garage Gang improvisation team will come to Rocas, with a bunch of energy and laughs to be expected. The four actors on the stage will will create fun and lively stories while competing in absurd challenges, with the audience having the possibility to get involved. Tracy´s personal pick was a track by AgarAgar - Trouble

In this episode, Shaz looks at the different ways you can secure funding to buy a business. there are a variety of different ways and each has different challenges. Shaz explains in detail why deferred payment works exceptionally well and is his personal choice for funding. It means putting in the work to understand the motivation of the seller but it's about you not having to put any money into the deal. When you can finance purchasing a business in this way it opens the opportunities for scaling securing multiple businesses.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You could take an unsecured loan, depending on the size of the business this could be used as the deposit To take out a secured loan, usually, you will have to provide a guarantee or security and you will need to have a good business case and a good team around you. Peer to peer lending can secure funds quickly but the interest with be higher. Deferred payment means you agree to the purchase and the payments are then split over The initial payment can come from the bank and then the subsequent payments from the profits of the business over several years. Deferred payment can usually be viable over 3 to 5 years Small businesses can be difficult to sell so a deferred payment can be acceptable when they are motivated to sell. You need to understand their motivation for selling. Deferred payments work exceptionally well   BEST MOMENTS ‘You need to make sure you can sustain the business' ‘Depending on how you structure the business a loan could get you started' ‘No money down from a buyers perspective can work really well'    VALUABLE RESOURCES shaz@aa-accountants.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Shaz Nawaz is a serial entrepreneur; he owns five thriving businesses in diverse sectors.

Securing Funding for Good Deals (997) Transcript: Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit:                            Hello. Steven Butala:                   Welcome to the Land Academy show. Entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit:                            And I'm Jill DeWit, and we are broadcasting from sunny southern California. Steven Butala:                   Today, Jill and I talk about securing funding for good deals. Jill DeWit:                            I love talking about money. Steven Butala:                   I love talking about good deals. Jill DeWit:                            Good. We're made for each other. Steven Butala:                   Yeah. Jill DeWit:                            I'll get the money, you get the deals. You think I'm kidding? That's how we roll. Steven Butala:                   No good acquisition, regardless of size, character, content, should ever go to waste. Ever. Jill DeWit:                            Or cost. Steven Butala:                   The biggest reason I've seen them go to waste is, "I just don't have the money to do this deal right now. Hey, seller, this is a great deal. I really want to do it. Can you wait until next month because I've got a lot of deals that I'm doing right now, and I don't have an extra 22,000 bucks to buy a piece of land, but I really do want to buy it, so what do you say we talk in six weeks, and I'll let you know if I can buy it then?" That will never work. Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Or, the bigger one is, "Hey, you said you own what also, and you want to own all of that? Gosh! Shoot. That totally fits my buying criteria but, God, that's so expensive. I don't know if I can come up with that much money. I'll just buy this little one. Thanks for showing me. Thanks for sharing." Steven Butala:                   Before we get into the topic, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit:                            Collin asks, "Why does Realtor.com report data for 1,000 counties versus it's 3,142-" It should be 3,144 for all the counties and parishes. Steven Butala:                   Why does Realtor report at 1,000 counties than really in reality, there's 3,144 counties in the country. And, here's why. Jill DeWit:                            I'm going to write down what I think is the answer and then I'm going to see if I'm right, okay? Steven Butala:                   There's two reasons, but the real reason is this. Houses are only really in about 1,000 counties that matter. There's so much more housing data than there is land data because that's what everybody cares about because they have to live there. So, they have chosen- Steven Butala:                   Well, Nielsen ratings has chosen those 1,000 counties. That's the second reason. They consider those counties to be the most important and they pour all the- Realtor.com is all about houses. We use it on our show constantly to look at MLS listings for land and stuff, but I'll be honest. That's where they make their dough, buying and selling houses and get in the way of our deals. Jill DeWit:                            Can I tell you mine? Steven Butala:                   Yeah. Jill DeWit:                            100%, I think it's MLS related. Steven Butala:                   Yeah. Jill DeWit:                            Because I think back- Steven Butala:                   You're absolutely right. Jill DeWit:                            I think it's still that way. Not everywhere in the country is there a dedicated MLS for that specific area. It wasn't really needed. I'm sure there's some areas that it's still, maybe now not so much, but back in the day, when MLS started, there was a lot of word-of-mouth going around. That's how you did it. Then, they started the MLS and I don't think it caught on everywhere.

On this channel, we have featured many people who have already launched a product, but what about a new seller who is getting ready to launch a product? We talk to many sellers who have had success with their products, so for this episode, we wanted to change things up to concentrate on the experiences new sellers have before launching a product at all. These new seller experiences can range from frustrations of settling on your product niche to dealing with a manufacturer. Thankfully, there are now many resources out there to help new sellers get educated about how to launch a new product, but not all courses are created equal. Check out the video podcast here: In episode 190 of the AMPM Podcast, host Manny Coats speaks with new seller Kala Myles.
