In this episode of "Rock Your Retirement," host Kathe Kline and co-host Barb are joined by special guest Angela Andrieux, a fine art photographer and photography coach who works with Mylio Photos. The conversation centers around a problem many retirees—and really, anyone with a camera—face: what to do with the countless photos accumulated over a lifetime, scattered across different devices, albums, and platforms. Barb shares her personal struggle with organizing photos spanning decades, from physical albums in her motorhome to digital files on old computers, Facebook, Shutterfly, and her phone. She confesses the overwhelm that comes from trying to sort, organize, and ultimately create meaningful albums, especially with an eye toward leaving behind a curated photo legacy for her family.Angela introduces listeners to the Mylio Photos application, explaining how it serves as a digital asset manager for organizing, tagging, and backing up all types of photos—from scanned prints to digital snapshots. She details how Mylio's powerful features, including facial recognition, manual and batch tagging, and the creation of albums (similar to playlists), can help users corral their photo chaos into a well-structured, easily navigable library. As Angela points out, Mylio runs across all major platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android) and doesn't lock photos into a proprietary system; instead, all organizational data is written as standard metadata, ensuring lasting accessibility even if you leave the service.The discussion also covers practical aspects, like different ways to categorize photos (by date, event, location, or subject), how to reclaim images from places like Facebook, and the importance of not relying on a single cloud-based service for storage. Angela reassures listeners that while there is some upfront work—especially batch and manual tagging of faces—Mylio helps speed up the process and offers onboarding assistance and ongoing support. For anyone feeling especially overwhelmed, there's even an option to connect with a professional photo manager for more hands-on help.Cost and value are addressed transparently. Angela outlines Mylio's subscription pricing, the family plan for sharing access, and the unique aspect that you retain control and local backups of your photos even if you leave the service. The episode concludes with both Kathe and Barb expressing relief and newfound motivation to tackle their own photo messes, with Angela providing clear next steps and encouragement. Ultimately, the conversation is a practical and reassuring guide for anyone seeking to preserve, organize, and truly enjoy their family's photo legacy in retirement and beyond.This show is sponsored by CertifiedMedicareAgents.com.

Consumers are adaptable and willing to embrace new behaviors and technologies if they provide value and simplify their lives.Brands that are willing to change and adapt quickly are more likely to succeed in the dynamic retail landscape.Technology has significantly lowered the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs, but it has also created challenges for legacy brands with outdated technology.Marketplaces need to have a well-thought-out strategy that adds value to both customers and sellers in order to be successful.Retailers should focus on analyzing data from various channels to understand the customer journey and make informed decisions.Retail media is becoming an important source of revenue for retailers, but not every retailer can build a successful media company.Re-platforming projects require careful planning, a small and agile team, and a focus on prioritizing improvements that have the most impact.Retailers should focus on their high-powered SKUs and complementary products or services to increase basket size and improve the customer journey.The retail industry faces challenges such as consumer debt, inflation, and increased competition, but there are opportunities for growth through diversification and partnerships.Jessica has a hidden talent for rapping and enjoys karaoke.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background03:14 Role and Impact of Shutterfly05:07 Make My Book: A Practical AI Use Case07:31 The Demand for Outsourced Services10:32 The Craving for Human Engagement12:07 Identifying Consumer Needs and Best Practices15:03 Getting Back to Basics in Retail18:31 The Watson Weekend Show20:06 Building Trust and Providing Value21:14 Changes in Consumer Behavior and E-commerce21:59 Consumer Behavior and Adaptability23:21 The Importance of Change for Brands24:18 The Impact of Technology on Retail26:10 The Evolution of Marketplaces28:34 The Value of Sellers in Marketplaces30:33 The Complexity of Data Analysis32:37 The Rise of Retail Media36:03 Lessons from Re-platforming39:02 The Importance of Focus and Differentiation41:29 Challenges and Outlook for 2024Jessica's LinkedIn profile:

I went on a deeply healing, fun, and life-changing plant medicine journey about a week ago. This experience was led by a professional and held in a ritual fashion. Everyone was safe, taken care of, and chose to go on this joinery for their own reason. This is my fresh summary of the experience. While more and more breakthroughs and awareness keep coming, this was my first unscripted sharing the experience with the public. This is not meant to encourage anyone to do plant medicine or other drugs or substances but to share my experience. I am not a shaman or a doctor, and everyone needs to consult their support systems, doctors, healers, and therapists before embracing these types of experiences. I hope you enjoy this share, and if you have any questions, you can always contact me.

Connection is the Root of all Healing with Shawna Mox Shawna Mox is a highly skilled dance fitness instructor and transformational coach, whose journey into feminine-style group dance began in 2013. Trained as a Hot Buddhi Yoga teacher by renowned mentor Jen Liming, Shawna's initial insecurities about her body and movement did not deter her from starting her teaching career. Embracing her passion, she later received training in Shakti Flow, a program developed by Jess Abner, which became the foundation of her unique teaching style, combining feminine movements with high-energy pop and hip-hop grooves. Beyond her work as a dance fitness instructor, Shawna's experiences as the front woman of an 8-piece funk band and her journey through transformational work ignited her fascination with self-inquiry and personal growth. In 2017, she completed a year-long program with Accomplishment Coaching, further enriching her understanding of transformation and empowerment. After overcoming a significant life burnout, Shawna channeled her passion for movement into creating her own program, BomBooty. Centered around the healing and empowering aspects of community connection and self-inquiry, BomBooty aims to facilitate deep healing and transformation for all participants. Shawna's ultimate vision is to inspire a world where individuals feel comfortable, powerful, and liberated in their own bodies, contributing to a more beautiful, loving, and peaceful global community.

I picked her up and then we picked up Millie, at Hattie's request. We had a low key night at home, and went to the Children's Museum the next morning. Hattie was overtired, so we drove her home and then Millie and I met up with my parents to head back into Boston for Riley's dance competition. Mom, Dad, Jeff, Millie, Garret and I all went to an early dinner between her performances. Monday night at a local Irish pub listening to live music for Megg's birthday. Last Saturday, Megg dropped off Oisín to work with Dan, and we all had breakfast before Megg and I went off for a hike. We got back to the car just as the rain started. Millie's Bucket List with a Twist item was to ride horses with Grammy in the snow. It nearly snowed on Saturday May 11, but it was too warm. Thankfully, the rain stopped while we were inside the barn at Nancy & Roger's house, meeting the animals. Our friend Terri is friends with Nancy and Roger who kindly and enthusiastically agreed to help make Millie check off her bucket list item. We met all of the animals, most of whom were rescued. They have a very silly goat, some miniature horses (Goliath, Delilah & Princess Buttercup), 2 Gypsy Vanners (Zoe & her mother Dulcie) and another large horse, Scooter. Mom and I each rode Zoe and Millie rode Dulcie. Garret's 13th birthday sleepover. We went to Altitude to jump on the trampolines, to Panera for dinner and then he taught me how to edit videos using the CapCut app. Quote of the Week In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. –DALAI LAMA ------ Thank you for tuning in! Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

A Playing with Problems Segment: The Challenge of Being So Busy, When Vision and Strategy are Out of Alignment with Briana Maurice With 4 Kids who are homeschooled, a great relationship, and residential and commercial real estate businesses, Briana Maurice is doing it all, to say the least. While Briana has succeeded in so many ways, the challenge of launching and growing a business is familiar to many of us. In this episode, we dive into the consequences of being a lone wolf. We also look at what happens when vision and strategy aren't aligned, ways to improve execution, getting support, and getting outside your comfort zone. As a young girl, Briana spent a lot of time alone. During this alone time, Briana would walk around Emeryville, California, where there are lots of places like IKEA, outside malls, tall buildings, and hotels. This is where the spark came to her falling in love with real estate. As a child, she wondered who owned these buildings. And how did they buy them? When Briana became an adult, going through life, working odd jobs, and never being fully satisfied, Briana decided to take charge and design her life and become a realtor. After passing her exam, she began her pursuit to help individuals acquire real estate and simultaneously learn how to build generational wealth for her family. Briana is a wife, realtor, and teacher, homeschooling her children, teaching them about entrepreneurship, and loving themselves. Now at 30 years old, she is pursuing financial freedom for her family and plans on starting a non-profit organization for women who have experienced domestic violence to help them value themselves and build a fruitful life for their families. In this episode, we discuss: -Raising kids to be great people -Juggling kids, homeschooling, careers, habits, and your relationship -Excuses and breaking patterns -What does success mean to you -What does a successful relationship look like, and how do loving relationships deal with challenges -Time and Scheduling -The challenge of starting a business, creating a powerful vision and strategy -The cost of being a lone-wolf -Making things happen vs. making excuses -Measuring wins -Becoming Unreasonable You can connect with Briana Maurice here: https://www.mauricecapital.com/ https://www.facebook.com/briana.maurice.18 www.linkedin.com/in/brianamaurice You can connect with Alex Terranova here: Instagram: @InspirationalAlex Website: www.TheDreamMason.com Email: Alex@TheDreamMason.com Alex Terranova, PCC, is one of the world's top and most sought-after Performance & Success Alchemists and Coaches.
