Podcasts about so mad

I am SO MAD!Or I was when I first listened to a guest discuss their parenting views on another top podcast. Her guidance - that children should not be in daycare and that women should stay at home for the first couple of years - I felt was too dogmatic, and I immediately jumped on the mic to record this episode.That professional's opinion comes from an informed place. However, I strongly disagree with them, and in this episode I want to share what I believe are the five core things you should be providing for your children, irrespective of family structure and circumstances.Because if you can focus on providing these things, your children will flourish.So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…(now who wants to guess what podcast I was listening to?)Highlights from this episode:00:49 - The story behind this podcast05:14 - Secure attachments13:04 - Emotional support19:29 - Communication24:08 - Boundaries and structure27:11 - Positive role models

✅Sign up for our 30-day carnivore challenge and group here! https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Amy from Waikikahei Ranch. We dove deep into the transformative world of regenerative agriculture and the magic that happens when we work with nature, not against it. Amy shared some eye-opening insights into the practices at her ranch, from bail grazing to no-till seeding, and the remarkable results they've achieved. If you've ever wondered about the real impact of soil carbon content or how direct-to-market models can revolutionize ranching, this conversation is for you. Join us as we explore the future of sustainable farming and the power of making informed choices. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share for more enlightening discussions on agriculture, health, and well-being. Together, let's pave the way for a greener future! About Amy and Waikikahei Ranch: I am a first generation rancher. We gave up careers in the yachting and maritime industry to move 5hrs inland and raise grass finished beef, ONLY direct to market. It's been a journey! I am also “carnivore” and my “diet” has healed my debilitating autoimmune disease. We are super passionate about beef and ranching, so much so that I was getting SO MAD with all the antibeef and plant based narrative that I complained to CANADA BEEF and met with their Director of Communications…then I started my own podcast and launched our instagram to try and get a PRO-BEEF voice out there. This year I launched a campaign to help assist OTHER farms and ranches be profitable and sell their products direct to market. We need more farms now more than ever and so many are closing.

Anika and Liz don their dress uniforms and stand trial for the crime of ... oh, something. Background bird noise and that helicopter, probably. But ALSO we are here to talk about season 2, episode 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: "Ad Astra Per Aspera", including... Gene Roddenberry would be SO MAD there's a civil rights lawyer in Star Trek! Which is not the ONLY reason it's great, but it's one! Utopias are hard work and civil rights progress via litigation is incremental, and this episode gets that This is a Neera Ketou Stan Podcast HOWEVER Liz thinks the writing veered into a couple of ugly tropes What's Vice Admiral Pasalk's deal? Is he a Secret Romulan??? It would be interesting to dig further into genetic alteration as a cultural practice versus eugenics as a violation of civil rights It's allegories all the way down! "Aliens hiding among humans" seems to be a theme this season, but NOT in a paranoid way? Aside from our new hobby of Seeing Romulans Everywhere, of course Ortegas has a new facet to her character! She's racist!

Dr. Rob and Tami walk through someone who is struggling to figure out whether they should pour more energy into their loved one or if they should finally make the tough decision to separate. Dr. Rob understands that the listener wants to make sure they've exhausted all their options so that they can leave the relationship ‘with no regret', but he explains why that's not always the best approach.    TAKEAWAYS: [:30] Should I stay or should I go?  [2:45] I want to make sure I've exhausted all possible options before I leave my addict. Is there a strategic plan for this?  [7:10] Wanting things to work out is a feeling, but they're not facts. What are the facts when it comes to your addict's actions?  [10:25] Should I do a formal disclosure even though we are no longer living together? [13:15] When I first found out, I was SO MAD. Despite it being four years ago, I still feel the need to rage every few months. How can I better control this? [19:35] Anger is a healthy emotion, but uncontrollable rage isn't.  [20:25] My addict is resistant and I just want to leave. I need some confirmation.  [27:50] Don't do the disclosure UNLESS you plan to be 100% truthful. Because the ‘white lies' will come out later on.     RESOURCES: Seekingintegrity.com Email Tami: Tami@Seekingintegrity.com Sexandrelationshiphealing.com Intherooms.com Out of the Doghouse: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating, by Robert Weiss Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency, by Robert Weiss Sex Addiction 101: A Basic Guide to Healing from Sex, Porn, and Love Addiction, by Robert Weiss Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men, by Robert Weiss

Sports shows need to fill a lot of airtime, and one great way to do that? With some lists, of course! And Sean thinks it's spectacularly dumb, especially when a top 5 list ends up having a tie and we get six players on it. Then the fans get SO MAD about it. This is just one person's dumb opinion! They're not saying a player is bad because they're not on a list.  Meanwhile, why do we mainly do top 5, top 7, top 9, or top 10 lists? Also, isn't Ryan Gosling as Ken pretty fantastic? And a shameless plug for our podcast Parks n Wrecked, which is a great listen. Check it out here!  Plus, a friendly thirsty tweet from former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, and a silly sports cliche about where you leave stuff during a game.

Oh Hagar. Her story made me SO MAD at first, but then I calmed down and realized that it is one of the most inspiring, faith affirming stories I've read so far. God is with us ALWAYS.  He HEARS and He SEES us where we are. Ultimately, Hagar's story is the same of all of ours: a constant reaching towards a God who sees and hears, no matter where we are.  The song featured in this episode is Rescue by Lauren Daigle. This episode pairs with the Come Follow Me lesson for February 7-13 AND February 14-20. About the portrait: As I studied the story of Hagar, I was bothered by the idea that she may not have given her consent when she conceived Ishmael. Yes, I know it was a "cultural thing" but just because it's culturally accepted doesn't make it right or mean that she wasn't hurt.  So I wanted to give her the chance to voice her opinion, to say "NO". As a result, her hands are held up in a "stop" gesture. But as I studied her story and saw the way that God worked with her, I saw a different image. I saw her reaching towards the stars reflected in the well- reaching towards all God has promised her.  I think it works both ways! This episode is dedicated to our dear sweet dog, Captain Kirk, who passed away this week.

I'm Michael Albaum, and today I'm joined by a very special guest, Antonia, she is a project manager, extraordinare licensed architect in numerous states, and then the owner of MaddProject, and she's going to be talking to us today about when you should think about hiring a project manager, what are some of the do's and don'ts, do's and also what it's like to be a woman running her own business in the construction space. So without further ado, let's get into it.   Antonia, the Conqueror project manager, extraordinaire, licensed architect in multiple states and owner of MaddProject, how are you today?   Antonia: I am wonderful. Thanks for having me.   Michael: Now, absolutely. Thanks for taking the time to hang out with us. So you are a jack of all trades, you do a lot of different stuff. Tell us a little bit about what it's like to be a project manager. But before we get into that, can you share with everybody what the best way to get ahold of you is or a hold of your company bad project, if after listening to this episode, they're like Antonia is a beast. She's a rockstar, I want to use her as my project manager.   Antonia: Sure, absolutely. So my website is great is a great way to get ahold of me, there's a little contact me form in there that I watched very closely. So Mad project.com. And you can scroll down, contact me. Also, there's a great newsletter that I write about once a month. So if you want to get it, you can hear from me that way. And additionally, I'm very active on Twitter. And I will give you my handle and you can share it in the notes as well. But that's a really easy way to contact me. And worst case, if you really just want to get to me, it's Antonia at Madd Project calm with a double D. So that's her always I'm very easy to get a hold of.   Michael: Awesome, awesome. Well, again, thank you for coming on and sharing with everybody. What I want to talk about today is what it's like to be a project manager. What are some of the things that a project manager does? And then what are some of the hurdles that you've seen people really stumble over when doing rehab or renovation projects where maybe they should have gotten a project manager?   Antonia: Sure, absolutely. So typically, on development projects, there's one person who serves as a point of contact for the owner, who helps coordinate the design team helps to oversee the permitting process and ultimately oversees or helps to oversee the construction manager during construction process. So generally, when you have larger projects, you should expect to have a project manager somebody either in house with the developer or a third party, like my company, that their job is just to make sure that the project is going in the right direction that you're accomplishing through design, all the different, you know, goals that are set forth in the pro forma. So that's generally what a project manager does.   Michael: Okay, I guess what would be the scale or the scope of a project that you would feel a project manager would be justified in coming on because a lot of our listeners will do cosmetic rehab, update flooring, kitchen, bathroom, that kind of thing. And they might be thinking to themselves, oh, shoot, do I need a project manager for that? What do you what would you say is kind of the defining scope or cost.   Antonia: So you know, it really depends on what you want the project manager to do, if it's something where you just need a little bit of help on strategy. That's one way if you need comprehensive project management because you've got no idea what you're doing. By way either of you know it's a new type of project that you've never done before or you've never done any kind of design or construction before you don't know how to hire an architect. It's really more about the resources that you have available and less about the size of the project itself. I think that's more the thing that I would say pushes you to have a project manager   Michael: Okay, now I love that. What about let me give you a scenario because I think this has been a lot of our listeners fall into this category and curious your take on on project management versus their project management. So I'd say 95, maybe 98% of our investors or listeners are remote investors. And oftentimes they are newer investors. And so if they want to take on a project that involves some significant rehab of a house, maybe changing some bedrooms, around changing the footprint of the property, and then some cosmetic stuff, and they don't have any experience and they're remote, is that something you think they'd be justified in hiring a property manager to help facilitate and coordinate?   Antonia: I mean, I definitely think that there could be a lot of value. If they're thinking of doing it again, at some point, because there's a lot of things that you can standardize, for example, like, let's say, you know, that you like a certain tile in the kitchen, you know, that you want your bedrooms to be a certain size. And in order, instead of having to go through the process, you know, learning the lessons, the hard way, you could have a more strategic sort of session with, you know, we do hourly consults, or 30-minute consults, where we could talk about some of those strategies, we could talk about some of the things you could standardize.   So I think, perhaps not hiring someone full on, but at minimum, having some sort of conversations with somebody either be at the architect that you end up hiring for the project, because you're going to need one, if you're doing something like that, or the contractor that you hire for it. I think having some general strategy of Hey, like, what are the things that we're going to have to do? What are what is the permit like? How long do those things take, and then ultimately, going back and saying, Hey, we want to do this, again, let's make a list of all the things that we learn in terms of, you know, how long permits actually took, what finishes, we do end up liking that were very easy to get during construction, they were easily available at the local store, and in sort of really find a way to, like, take the lessons and actually use them, right?   Because a lot of the problem that people have is that, you know, let's say you do it once, and you're gonna make mistakes, and that's okay. But if this is the first time you're doing it, and you still don't know, like, how to pick tile, I mean, are you doing?   Michael: What are you doing?   Antonia: I'd really say, sort of sit down for a minute and think a little bit about strategy and about like, and then as you go through the process, write down some of the lessons so that you can refer back to them, and really have a better go around the second, third, fifth time.   Michael: I love that. And I think it makes so much sense. And I mean, I love to that mad project does these half hour hourly console's because so many people don't know what they don't know. And so don't even know what questions to ask if they're a property manager or contractor who they're working with. So I think a strategy session could be so valuable. I know you and I have talked about my development project. And I wish we had sat down for numerous strategy sessions before taking on that project, but too little too late that this is how this is the learning lesson on the job.   So what about in terms of driving? timing? Is that something that a project manager should be expected to do or could be expected to do? If I'm a remote investor and contractor says, Hey, it'll take a month, I hire a project manager and said, okay, make sure they're out there getting this stuff done, because I'm remote? Is that something that you're able to help help out with?   Antonia: Absolutely. So there's a couple of different ways that a project manager should be doing that. And again, it also depends on the size of the project. If you're, for example, in your example, where you're saying, okay, it's for remote investors, you know, the project manager should have a couple of different points of contact with the team that is actually on the ground, whether the project manager is also remote or not, you know, there should be at least a weekly meeting during construction, and that in that weekly meeting, you should be discussing things like, hey, like, did the inspector come this week? Are we gonna run out of the tile that I really like that I know, has like a two week lead time? And so we really need to anticipate it. Hey, are you actually on schedule? And if you're not on schedule, why aren't you on schedule? Oh, because the plumber didn't show up? Why didn't he show up? Did we? Did you not pay him? Or is it because you know his guy last minute had a family thing and couldn't come on Tuesday.    So it's really having those touch points and having them constantly like you can say, oh, we're gonna have weekly meetings and then by the third one, people lose steam or, or kind of feel like, Oh, well, you know, we've had them the last two weeks, we don't really need to continue having them. That's absolutely the wrong thing to do. You want to have constant touch points, you want to make sure that you're, you know, all the time paying attention to what's going on, particularly on those remote projects where if you're doing like a single family rehab, they go really quick.   So you want to make sure that you're Hearing the problems every week, you know, the contractor a lot of times a lot of these contractors can have a question. And they can forget to ask you for four weeks, and then, you know, they stopped work because they didn't have an answer to a question that they forgot to ask you. So, you know, a project manager can absolutely help to do one, make sure that you're having the meetings. And number two, you can in your agreement with your project manager, you can ensure that they are walking the site, at least, you know, every two weeks.   So, there's really a lot of things that you can do you know, the project management, you can also have these periodic meetings with the different parties. So you don't necessarily have to have a meeting with everybody you can have I mean, I highly encourage having like an all hands meeting once a week for for like a single family rehab. But you can also make sure that like Tuesday mornings, you call the architect, and you're just gonna, you know, you're just kind of chit chat, you're like, Hey, how's it going, like, Hey, what are you up to, you know, cuz those are the times when you get like, the dirt, right? Like, Hey, I went out there, and like that green that you chose for that wall is, you know, the contractor is not going to tell you, they're like, Oh, yeah, I painted the wall,   Michael: And I got paid for it!   Antonia: He's not gonna say, Hey, I didn't write the I paid for it, I painted the wall, and you you come visit from out of town, and you look at it, you're like, Oh, my God. Good idea. Right. So those are the things you want to avoid. And the way that you avoid them is by keeping that contact. And and again, you know, once you're a remote investor, and you've done this a few times, honestly, these are things that once you kind of get the hang of them, you don't need to hire someone else to do them, you can do them yourself, if you have a good strategy and a good framework to begin to do them. And then you got to have the discipline, right?   So having a project manager a lot of times in a project is like having like a coach, you know, it's the person who's saying, like, Hey, you need to pay this invoice, hey, you need to sign this contract, hey, you need to make this decision. You know, hey, like, I need to, I need you to go to down to the city and sign this document like normally, having that extra discipline helps a lot in the project and they helped to drive the schedule. So all of these things and having that constant coaching and sort of follow up, follow up follow up was absolutely the role of Project Manager. And it is the thing that really keeps the schedule, which as we know and development schedule scheme, and that doesn't matter what project you have.   Michael: Anyone who's watching the YouTube version of this will have noticed that I was smiling, grinning ear to ear when Antonio was talking about the plumber, because like literally, that's what happened, like flipped by GCS and all the Providence show up and I got family stuff like Are you serious? Are you kidding right now. So it that kind of stuff happens.   Antonia: But it's also important to know that the guy didn't show up because he had a kids soccer game that he forgot about, versus Hey, you didn't show up? Because the contractor didn't pay him? And then you're like, wait, I paid you. So why didn't you pay the guy. So and the more you know, the quicker you figured that out, the better because you don't want to be having that conversation when you're like two weeks away from supposedly being done. And then it turns out that, you know, your contractor or your your CM has not been paying your subs for the last, you know, four weeks, and you come to find out that you have a lien on your house, right?   So, you know, in that sense, like, that's also why it's important because you can avoid these major sort of problems. If you're able to catch them as they're happening.   Michael: Love it. Love it. So that's, I think, a really great summation of what project managers do do. Can you talk to us a little bit about maybe what the clients have expected of you in the past, but you said, you know, like, this really is outside the role and scope of a project manager, when what should people expect to have done by other people or to do themselves?   Antonia: Oh, boy,   Michael: Feel free to go crazy with this one.   Antonia: You know, we've run into some funny situations that I mean, I've I've installed bread, I've built furniture on site, I've I've brought people coffee. I've been on site overnight on installs of big jobs. You know, within the bounds of professional reasonableness, we basically do everything. And I that's a big, you know, caveat that I put at the beginning of that reasonable professionalness.   Michael: Right, right, which is so shades of gray. Right, in that statement?   Antonia: Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then every now and then, I mean, you know, for for me on the bigger super complex projects where you know, you have sort of a syndicate or group of, or different group of investors coming in to code up a project. This is like the really big stuff. I will sit in a lot of investor meetings, just because Very often investors will ask, you know, the sponsor, Hey, how are you going to build this? You know, what are these things cost? What's your schedule? Like? What are you? What's your team? Like? Like, who's actually giving you insight? How are you going to review applications? All these things? And, you know, I'm the one answering those questions on behalf of the sponsor, the person who hires me. So there's a little bit, you know, that goes into that, you know, we also do a lot of feasibility at the beginning of a project.   Many times people will come to us to say, Hey, you know, we went down the road of designing this entire project, and it doesn't pencil. And it turns out that it's a terrible idea to build a high rise building in this neighborhood. What do we do, and so I'll actually, you know, I'll put my architect urban designer hat on, and I will redesign the entire building.   So I, you know, it's been crazy. And I think the last year pandemic, you know, kind of gave people a little bit of reason to pause. And to rethink a lot of these things. And so I actually ended up with almost every single project that has come through in the last 18 months, I have redesigned at the request of the owner, that they said, hey, look like we whatever we have isn't really working. What do you think we should do? Like, how do we start project management on this? And I'm like, Hey, guys, let's take a step back, read a feasibility and make it work. So we'll do a lot of that.   So we go from, you know, we are a little bit involved in those investor conversations, because they often have questions that we aren't equipped to answer. And we're also involved in feasibility, you know, I'd rather be involved in projects that don't need to have the ship turned around, I'd rather just be involved from the beginning, but it is what it is. And then…   Michael: It is what it is.   Antonia: Yeah. And then finally, you know, we are obviously the on site day to day stuff, you know, design decisions, technical, mechanical, electrical plumbing decisions regarding ownership preference, and what's really going to be the best way to go with systems. You know, all of that stuff, obviously, that that's the more traditional stuff that you'd expect to see. And where we are a little bit less traditional is on the design, and is on that sort of investor facing stuff.   Every now and then I'm asked to be a part of potential investor conversations. And if for whatever reason, the situation is a little murky, or there's a lot of kind of unanswered things like, you know, it's a dance, right, you want to make sure that you're helpful and that you're, that you're there. But at the end of the day, I am not the owner of the project. And so I have to be very careful, not only from like a deal perspective, like I don't, I don't want to say anything that's gonna tank your deal. That's, you know, that doesn't help anybody. But at the same time, like, I am a registered architect, I do carry professional liability. And I am very aware of it. And so, you know, I my agreements with all my clients, like explicitly says that, on the project involved, I have no professional standing, I am not the architect of the project. And sometimes there's conversations or moments with building departments or things like that, where I have to really be disciplined about my role on the project and the fact that I'm not I'm not a professional with professional standing on this project.   So that's kind of the general where we draw the boundaries, you know, and then there's the, you know, the stuff that is not professional. We deal with some of that, too, but that's how they, you know,   Michael: It sounds like we could probably do a whole episode on that.   Antonia: Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure.   Michael: So I'm curious, Antonio, why in the last 18 months have Have you had to redesign all the projects? I mean, what have you changed? What have you seen changed in the last 18 months?   Antonia: Well, I mean, I think a little bit, you know, some, some project types got a little bit of a break, naturally, like hospitality did. You know, one of my projects is student housing. And they had a little bit of a break related to financing to, you know, banks were not running to finance these projects. And so, you know, these owners took the time to say, Hey, you know, what, maybe there's a better way. And there's a, there's a way where we can make this a little bit more efficient, a little bit more appropriate. And so they took the time to do it, just because, again, they had a natural break related to the fact that, you know, no capital was looking out to put money into student housing or hospitality project. I mean, hospitality was pretty, pretty hard hit.   So yeah, it's, you know, there was definitely a lot of redesigning hotel ideas in these last 18 months,   Michael: Okay. And redesign in the sense that it's no longer a hotel or redesigned from the perspective of we're just going to do it a little bit differently than it was done more traditionally in the past.   Antonia: Two different types of projects that I have redesigned predominantly to Housing has been, you know, one of the types that I've redesigned. And then the other one was hospitality. In the case of the hospitality project, it had a condo component to it, has a kind of component to it, the mix was changed a little bit, the sizes of the units were changed a little bit, you know, the amenities were changed a little bit, ultimately, I mean, so this is for an existing building that has, has this massive renovation going on.   So it was really kind of with what you had and how far they had already gone into construction, because that buildings already in construction, they are like the interior renovation was already underway, basically, they were basically looking to make it a little bit more attractive. Now understanding that COVID had to happen and how the pandemic had changed the way that people use space, particularly public space. So that was what the hotel sort of redesigned, it's still a hotel, that building is probably always going to be a hotel, it's very significant. And so we didn't change the use completely.   In the case of the student housing, for example, there was a little bit more of wanting to make the construction a little bit more efficient. And so really looking at the massing. And how much of the structure was wood, how much of the structure was concrete, you know, whether it was more or less expensive to build as a podium versus a wrap, you know, if we were going to go above four floors, and if we did, what that meant for the construction type. And so having these sort of technical conversations completely changed the massing of the building   Michael: Interesting,.   Antonia: Like altogether, completely different building completely different size. And then it again, you know, prompted a lot of conversations about public space, because this, this building is the size of a city block. And so, you know, you had a lot of like that deep in between space. So it's like, well, how do we create courtyards? You know, originally they had a massive courtyard, and we said, hey, look, you know, really big corners are usually very uncomfortable spaces. And so what are why don't why are we a little more thoughtful about how we divide this space? And and what can we do in those courtyards to program them and make the whole project just better? That's sort of the flavor and the reasoning why you'll you know, we would redesign projects. So…   Michael: That makes total sense how neat. That's really cool.   Antonia: That's pretty cool. I enjoy that a lot. Because one of the things that I don't talk a lot about on Twitter, for example, is that I am actually an urban designer, I do have a graduate degree in urban design, and I and I, like, you know, the idea of the whole building, how does that building affect the the environment around it? How do you approach it? How does it you know, address the street? What's the human scale of it? Where are the amenities? Where do you see them from? What's the good corner? What's the corner, you want to avoid? All of these sort of urban questions really come into play when we do these building redesigns? You know, where are you going to get a lot of shade in the courtyard? Where are you, you know, is that going to be an uncomfortable place to hang out? So that's pretty cool for me to get the chance to do that.   Michael: Yeah,   Antonia: Being an architect without the hassle of being,   Michael: Right, only the good parts?   Antonia: Exactly.   Michael: So it sounds like there isn't a whole lot that you don't do. And that's for sure, like a double, triple negative sentence, but that's okay.   Antonia: Something like that. Yeah. I mean, who then the reasonable, asks, we, there's, you know, and every now and then we're finding new things that people approach us for, you know, one thing that also became a little bit interesting was, I had a couple family offices reach out during pandemic to say, Hey, we have this project going on, or we're gonna invest money into this project that's kind of starting soon, we want you to look at the people who are going to build it, and let us know if you think they can pull it off. And to me, that was a little bit surprising.   But I had more than one request, like that. So that kind of thoughtfulness is really on the investor side, and a little bit, adding a little more sophistication and a little bit more data to people who aren't used to having that data or have the background to make those decisions has been really interesting.   Michael: Oh, that's great. That's great. Just a little quick word to the wise for the folks that are doing that hotel redesign, tell them not to have to fires during the course of construction, or really screw things up for him. Take it from me.   Antonia: I will. Yes, I will make sure we should add that to the list of things to watch out for.   Michael: That's great. So tell me when someone is going out and looking to hire a project manager or have a concert with the project manager, bring them into the fold? Should First off, what should they be looking for? What should some of the interview questions they speak to them about? And then you mentioned remote versus that remote could or could not be an issue. Can you speak to that a little bit?   Antonia: Sure. Um, so one of the things that you want to find out from a project manager is you really want to understand the scope of services that they provide. Not, you know, unlike some of the professional disciplines that are related to development, project management is not really regulated in any way. So different people do different things. And it really depends on their background. So you can get some project managers who are very strong during the construction process that will absolutely have no idea how to lead a design team.   So and not to their fault in any way, they will advertise that, hey, I don't, I'll take it from the moment that you have construction documents, and you have permits and your financing, I'm good. But before that, like, I can't help you. So these, like make sure that that has been spoken about, like if you need somebody to lead your design team. You know, in the instances of small projects, if you have a really good architect, they can, they should be able to project manage the whole design aspect of it. But you want to make sure that you're on the same page regarding what you need, right.   So if you need somebody to help you figure out pay applications. And if you want to carry your own ACR, that's an Anticipated Cost Report, which I highly recommend for big projects, you need to have a conversation with the project manager that they will do that, you know, even project managers that are really strong in construction will not carry an anticipated cost report for you. You know, a lot of times that falls on the finance side. And it's a little bit disjointed and difficult to do. Because if you've never done one before, and if you're not familiar with construction, it's really difficult to anticipate things like change orders, you know, so there's very little anticipated in your anticipated cost report if you can't have any foresight, because you have no technical understanding.   So again, being super upfront and clear about the things that you need. Having said that every now and then I will have clients reach out or potential clients reach out and say, You know what, Antonia, I need help on this project. And I have absolutely no idea what I need. And that's fair. And being that upfront and honest about it is a great starting point. Because then the project manager, or the potential project manager can say, Okay, tell me your situation. And we can tell you what services we offer and where we think we can fill in the gaps. And a really, really good one will say, Hey, you know what, these are things that I don't do, and either I can recommend someone to do them, or this is how we should handle them.   So again, it's just being upfront about what you need. And really being comfortable with that person's experience and, and connections in the industry, because that's really important too. And making sure that they're able to they're, they're gonna be able to pull it off and you know, someone that I respect and you trust, right, that you trust their their experience, I would also recommend asking for references.   Michael: Yep.   Antonia: I always, I always have, like, you know, about about eight people that I keep in mind for references. And the reason I do that is because my contact with them has been super varied. You know, some people are people that I've worked for some people are people that have worked for me, others are contractors I've worked with others, or architects I've worked with. And so depending on the type of project that I'm sort of going for, and if the potential client says, Hey, I need references, I'll tailor my references to be adequate for what they're going to be building so that they're appropriate and relevant. So always ask for references, you know, I mean, you just want to be comfortable with the person, you're going to spend a lot of time with this person, you want to make sure that you can communicate well with them, that you can be candid with them. It's sort of like the lawyer kind of thing, like you want to make sure that that you're comfortable telling them everything that's relevant, because if this person is supposed to represent you, and they only have half the information, you also have to trust them that they're not going to share some stuff that you don't want to share with people right at the wrong time.   So it's all of these things, I mean, that I would really watch out for on that, on how to pick a project manager.   Michael: That's great. And then remote versus local remote to the project local to the project, what are your thoughts there?   Antonia: So you know, now especially again, same thing as last 18 months have been really interesting, because for a long time a lot of people were very adamant about, well, if you're going to manage this project, you have to be there. And I've found that not necessarily to be true, because for several years ahead of 2020 I had been managing projects remote just as a result of the kind of work that I was doing. I was doing a lot of hospitality work nationally and so We lived on a plane, you know, and the rest of the time you were managing it remotely. And we had very specific systems that we had set up.   So you know, that, that's a big part of it is if you're going to go with someone remote, make sure they have strong systems to manage it. And you want to put in that agreement that, hey, you need to be there once a month, you need to have that in your agreement, and then your understanding, and you need to talk about how often you're going to need them to be there. You know, having said that, it really depends on the project. And it really depends on the investor, as what you're comfortable, you know, a lot of banks will require to walk your site once a month. And so you may want to make sure that to put that into the agreement.   You know, there's two minds about it. You know, on one hand, I will tell you, there's nothing like having someone on site all the time. But at the same time, I will tell you that I've only ever done one project where I had to be there every day. And it was extremely complicated. You know, it had a massive Historic Preservation component to it, it had crazy MEP coordination for you know, kitchens, commercial kitchens. You know, it was a large urban project, it was six acres, there was a lot to it, there was like every day it was wild. And just very few projects fit that bill. So you can have that you can request that but be willing to pay for it. Right.   So that's also a consideration. If you want somebody there every day, if you want someone, someone there once a week, or, or once a month, that's going to have a different price point. And so you have to also be really honest, a good project manager will be able to tell you that hey, you don't me to be there everyday. You do need eyes on your project, especially while it's under construction. Absolutely. But you know, now managing design. I mean, I have teams right now that are let's say my average team is like 15 people, like project team. And out of those 15 people you can have, you can have them be in like six different states.   Michael: Wow.   Antonia: And like, that's normal right now. Michael: Wow. You know, that's really cool. And it really opens up the the availability for project managers of who you can select, that's great.   Antonia: For sure. And you know, what, it also allows you to start hiring design firms that are more appropriate for projects. And a lot of times people were like, well, I want to hire a local architect, and you want to go talk to the guy, and you were doing a student housing project, but the guy had never done student housing, or multifamily, for that matter. But he had done, let's say, commercial spaces, that was kind of the closest local guy you're gonna find, you know, now you can, you can hire the best student housing architect in the country, and still feel fairly confident that they're going to be able to figure out what's appropriate for your project and working whatever jurisdiction you're in. So that's also a great advantage to owners to really open up that pool to get better resources for their projects. There's no excuse anymore. Basically,   Michael: There's no excuse for sucking.   Antonia: There's no yeah, there's no excuse for hiring a crappy team.   Michael: Oh, that's so good to keep in mind. And you touched on it, I definitely want to come back to it. So I think what's probably on a lot of people's mind is cost. What is it typical? Is there such a thing as a typical cost structure? And what should people expect to pay for project management services?   Antonia: Sure. So you know, for interior renovations, let's say that are under $5 million, which is kind of your typical hospitality renovation. For you know, the branded hotels or, and even the boutique stuff to to a certain size, you're looking at, you know, $5 million, and under, typically, those project managers will charge a percentage of the full project cost. And that doesn't include only construction, it also include your soft costs. So managing your design team, going through the process of hiring the architect everything, though manage, it's like turnkey if you will.   Those people will charge somewhere between five and 6% of the overall. And I don't agree with that general structure, I that's not how that project works. So we're fee based, right? So we'll give you a fee. That's the fee monthly for the duration of the project. Except during construction, depending on the larger projects, we actually switch our our style a little bit during construction. Actually, I put more resources on that. And so that's when it's a little bit more, but not, not so much more that you're like whoa, it doesn't double.   So, on those smaller projects, you'll see like a five to 6% that's typically what you'll also see In ultra luxury, single family, and ultra luxury, I'm talking about houses that are over maybe $4 million or so, where you absolutely need a project manager. Some of these buildings are so complicated between crazy structures insane, like audio systems, you know, really expensive materials where if you cut the marble wrong, it's like a $70,000 mistake. Yeah, so in those instances, that's what do you out, I would say that that's kind of market. So that's what you should expect to see.   On the larger projects like and larger, and you're going to realize that there's a gap here, and we can try to address the gap. So on larger projects, let's say $30 million over, particularly if it's ground up, what you'll usually see reps charges two to 3%. And again, on large projects, I don't think that that's the right way to build a project. You know, there's things that I think it sets up the wrong incentives, you know, like, oh, if your construction costs more than you pay anymore? I don't know, that doesn't seem right.   Michael: Right, right.   Antonia: And then, yeah, and then sometimes, like, there's instances where you're, and this rarely happens, but when it does, and this year was a good example of it, you know, ownership decides to redesign the building, and now you're doing an extra year of work, not necessarily for any extra fee. And when you are a smaller consulting company that can really hit you. So that also hedges for that, like I am, how much I am per month, until we reach construction, period. And if it and if you guys decide to put a pause on it to go do some exercise, and you want me involved in it, you know how much it's gonna cost you.   And so the benefit with having the fee based option, or the fee based billing that we do, is you know how much we're going to cost from day one, like, you know, you can anticipate those costs on day one, whereas a lot of project managers, or project management companies, you don't really know how much they're gonna cost you. I mean, you think they you do, but you actually don't,   Michael: Because your costs change throughout the project.   Antonia: Because your costs change throughout the project. So it's a really tough situation. And it always it's, it just always creates all kinds of funny situations with people, and you end up having conversations that are not related to moving the project forward. So you know, and then there's that gap, right? So what happens to projects that are, let's say, ground up $10 million?   My thought is, if you're in that position, and you're a developer, it is very likely that you didn't just wake up and get there, you kind of have a process of getting there.   Michael: I would hope so.   Antonia: Right. And so in those instances, and I've had people like that reach out, I will tell them, I will say, hey, look like this is how much I am because it's no less work from a project management standpoint than a $30 million project. The difference is obviously the fee, and the fee that that the sponsor will charge investors for management. And so given that the management fee is going to be a lot less, you know. Most of the time, I will say, hey, let's Why don't we set up like a retainer? That is not comprehensive project management? I have that going on right now with with one company in it, and it works fairly well with them. I mean, you know, they call me when they have a question. They call me for strategy, but I don't actually manage the day to day.   And it works really well. So on those, I just tell them like, Hey, you know what, you're, you're perfectly capable of managing this yourself. You know, if you have questions like you can call me and I have those relationships where I don't mind, like being on the phone for an hour here and there and growing those relationships so that when they do have the 100 million dollar deal, and then they're like, Hey, we're ready to have a really crazy project, and we really need you then. Then I'll be you know, we know that we work together well, and it works out.   So that's kind of the super long answer to your question how much your project managers should charge but no theories and yeah, you have to watch it To be honest, like I you know, it can there's some shenanigans in there. So just, you know,   Michael: Like anything, there's so many little shenanigans. Awesome. Well, I want to I want to start wrapping up here, Antonia and curious to get your thoughts. And if you could speak to kind of what it's like to have to be a woman in the space and any recommendations you have for women investors out there that are trying to do some projects in a space that's been traditionally male dominated?   Antonia: Yeah, for sure. Um, you know, I think one of the things as any woman, business owner in any kind of industry, to be honest, one of the things that we always have to remember that that Men are usually pretty good at. And I'm not again, usually I'm adding that…   Michael: There's an asterisk there!   Antonia: Yes, um, is setting, you know, very good professional boundaries. And I think that that is something that in my experience a lot of women have a little bit of a harder time with because we want to be nurturing, right, we want to help, we want to, we want to be like, Oh my gosh, like you I really need to help you out of this project mess that you got yourself into and and so when you actually begin to look at owning your own business and whether it's that's a development company, or whether that is just a project management company, or just the the rehab that you're doing, and you're happens to be the owner, and you happen to be a woman, you know, setting up those those boundaries ahead ahead of time, right, and saying, like, hey, like, these situations, like I'm not going to put up with or are these things are not things that are okay, interpersonally not just between men and women, like really, this is just not professional, and sort of standing your ground and, and again, being kind about and being professional about it, but really setting those boundaries and, and making sure that the that you're you're training the people around you, so that you have those boundaries, right, you want to say like, Hey, you know, you can't call me on Sunday at six in the morning about this project, like that's not okay. Whether you're the owner, or or you're the consultants, so that's a little bit, one thing that I would just say, you know, boundaries are super important when you're doing your own stuff. They, they make things much better for everybody on projects. So that's one thing.   The other thing is, you know, for me, actually, and I just picked this, for myself, the idea of the perfection, like if I don't have all of these things lined up, then I'm not going to be able to, I'm not qualified or, or I don't belong in that space, or whatever. And I struggle with that still, you know, where it's like, well, I haven't done this, and I haven't done that. And so because of that I don't belong here. That's not true. You know, like, you'll meet plenty of people that haven't done X, Y, and Z and, and contribute amazingly, into a certain community. Because we all have something to contribute.   And so having that sort of understanding there from day one to say, like, Hey, you know what, like, maybe I haven't done these things, maybe I didn't go to that school, maybe I don't know, the mayor. But you know what, I'm going to do this rehab, and I'm going to rock it. You know, being a woman shouldn't never be like, Oh, I can't go there, I can't show up to the jobsite because I'm a woman, you know, that that kind of fits into that category as well. Either you know, the things that you haven't accomplished or who you are just because of who you are, it really shouldn't hold you back from from doing the things that that you that you feel like you could you can do and if you give them your best effort, there's no reason why you know, being a woman or, or not having a certain experience should should limit you. It certainly doesn't limit a lot of people out there and so that's kind of the other thing.   And then I think finally you know, for me, you know, not to not to make it sound like it's all roses, it's definitely hard in some instances. But I've gotten really lucky in that I've run into really good mentors. And you know, they're all men because obviously the industry has a has sort of the demographic that it has and they've been fantastic you know most of them have become friends they're people that I keep in touch with the people that I've brought business to after the you know after years and so you know, if you're able to lean on them and kind of call them and say hey look like I don't have to deal with situation or they're really the people who are going to champion who and so finding those mentors and having them close by is really pretty important finding kind of not only the mentors you know, just finding your tribe eventually finding other women in the industry who are like kicking ass out there and just you know, leading mechanical companies and leading Plumbing Companies you know, developing things themselves and, and having them as a you know, as a nearby kind of support, but also a little bit of someone that you can look up to and say hey, like they've done it. So.   But it is certainly tough, I'll give you that there there's some instances where you know, there's situations where you want to make sure that you're very ready to say you know what, I'm not gonna play like that's the boundary and and to me if you're able to really set those boundaries for yourself, and you know, that really goes back into like your self worth and like all of these really big kind of sort of your emotional stability You know, making sure that your your sugar is low right now, because you haven't had lunch, you know, it really goes back to like being really good. Really good for yourself. So that then you're able to establish those boundaries so that then you're able to deal with those situations because you know, development is really hard, you have a lot of unknowns. And it does add an extra layer that you're a woman and so people sometimes react to you differently. But I think it's all you know, if you're able to say like, hey, these are my boundaries, and this is my power, and I'm gonna go conquer the world, you know, brings us back to the conqueror.   Michael: Antonia the conqueror   Antonia: Then you're able to, like, occupy those spaces and contribute, right? Because that, I think, is the part where a lot of women don't realize but like, like, we need your contribution, you know, as a as an industry and not because you're a woman, it's because of what's in your head and the ideas that you have. And, and if we're losing your contribution, because you're a woman, I mean, how stupid is that? Right? So that's kind of my, my, my bent on it. But again, you know, we could have an entire episode about the ridiculous less than professional situations that I've been in that are super salacious and ridiculous issue, we're probably like, take up a pen name and write a book. But that's not to say that, right? So, you know, that's that's kind of how it is.   Michael: I everything you just said like, yes, yes, yes, I love it all go back and re listen to the last six, seven minutes of what was just said, pure gold. Love it. Love it.   Antonia: Glad to hear it.   Michael: Well, no, absolutely, absolutely. So thank you so much. and tune in for sharing and coming on today. Any final thoughts before we let you out of here,   Antonia: Um, you know, just that same in that same vein, you know, there's so much, it's such a place of abundance, to be honest, it's such a hustle and not hustle in the bad way. But like it, you know, it's such a, an amazing, general way of doing business, you know, development has all of these amazing opportunities for all kinds of professionals, or even for people who don't have a ton of experience in it, you know, getting involved in real estate development, like owning things, you know, like, we can't say that without saying I used his name, right.   So it's like owning things, and understanding how your built environment works. And being a part of it contributing, it is just so wonderful. And I really think the sphere of community that we have is amazing. And so, you know, continuing to grow, that continuing to be a part of it continuing to contribute is just such an honor. And it's really wonderful to, you know, I'll tell anybody, if you if there's a way that you can get into owning things and into contributing to your neighborhood and to the people around you. That's just, you know, that's what being a citizen being around and being here, you know, being alive is for people like me, but then again, I grew up in development. So for me, like, it's just something I'm really passionate about, and I if you have the means to do it, and in the interest, go for it.   Michael: Love it, love it, check out Antonia on Twitter, check out her company mad project. It was such a pleasure to have you on and I'm looking forward to chatting again soon. Take care of Antonia.   Antonia: Yeah, it was wonderful. Thank you so much for having me. And I'm looking forward to being back at some point we can talk about a bunch of other things.   Michael: Absolutely. We'll take care. I'll talk to you soon.   Antonia: Thank you. Awesome, everybody. That was our show a big big big thank you to Antonia I got tons of great actionable takeaways from that. Hopefully you did too. Especially cuz I'm in the midst of a pretty significant development project. And Tony has been a really, really big help there. So go back and listen to the episode with the chorusing on the next one. Happy investing.

Hello, and Welcome to Warrior DIVAS | Real Talk for Real Women. I am your host, Angie Leigh Monroe and we are going to have a fantabulous show today, but before we jump in, I do want to take a moment and invite you to join us for our DIVAS Impact conference | Unmasked, October 11 and 12th of this year 2019. In Grapevine, Texas, it'll be an amazing time with other DIVAS like yourself as we come together, and embrace our femininity and walk more boldly and confidently to the future that lays out there for us. So go to our website, divasimpact.com and you can learn more about the conference and reserve your tickets here. Now, when we launched DIVAS Impact, we knew there were some amazing women out there doing some phenomenal things and we also knew that there were some women out there that didn't feel that they were entitled or worthy of phenomenal things happening to them, and so we really wanted to focus on how do we help those women that don't see their worth, don't see a path of hope and future for themselves? How do we get them to see that a lot of times I sit across from a woman and I can sit there and I can pull out so many amazing things that they've turned a blind eye to, it breaks my heart, and a lot of times that comes from a tragic event that happened in their lives, or maybe even a series of events that have happened in their lives that they just have not been able to get over. So we accepted the mission. You know, back in one of my episodes before I talked about I like challenges. So I accepted the challenge, because there was this one time, not at band camp. But when I was in the military, that we had an exercise that I had to do. And you know, when you go into the military, you got to know how to do sit-ups, you got to know how to do push-ups, and you got to be able to run. But one of the things that our company commanders used to have us do was we would do sit-ups locked arms. And what they did was have us do them locked arms, so that we could build up not just ourselves, but build up each other, because what would happen after that is if we had a sister that was in our Squadron or our squad that wasn't as strong as the rest of us. First off, we were helping her up doing that, but what would happen when we got done is we would go back to our rooms, and we'd help her get stronger at sit-ups. So the next time it would be easier for all of us, right? Well, that's what we're going to focus on today. Right, we're going to focus on how to help you be stronger, so that we can all be stronger together link arms and be stronger and walk boldly and confidently together, you hear me say that over and over and over again. Because there are too many women pulling back from where they're called to be. I'm not saying everybody deserves to be in the limelight. I'm not saying everybody is called to be in the limelight. What I'm saying is, is whatever you are purposed for it is there and waiting for you, and we need you doing what you're purposed for. So I realized that some of what I'm about to talk about may not be something that everybody will be receptive to at this time. You may hear this and you may be like you do in church; sitting there, thinking of somebody else that needs to hear this message, but you may actually be the one that needs to hear it right? I have never done that. Not at all. I never think of somebody else who needs to hear a message. Now, honestly, I think my husband needs to hear every message I hear in church, but I am the perfect little Angel. Not. But here's the deal. I'm sharing this today because if it impacts just one person, then that starts a ripple effect and that ripple effect can change everything. So today, are you ready? We're going to talk about the victim mindset. How many of you out there know some people that play the victim really well? I mean, I know some really good victim players, right? And I often wonder what brought them to that place. Of course, I never thought about that until I stopped being a victim myself. We talked in one of my previous episodes about being attacked. We talked about me being sexually assaulted, we talked about my drama instructor, you know, saying words to be in those things were bad in themselves in different ways. But as they built up, and I started believing not only what they said, but some things that other people may have said, trying to make me feel better about myself or they said it in the wrong tone. How many of you have ever said to a student, "you'll never amount to nothing if you don't do your homework." You know, I've had teachers tell students that and the students don't hear the, "if you don't do your homework", part; what they hear is, I'll never amount to anything. So here's what we need to focus on. We need to focus on what we're speaking into each other's lives because we are layering on to that victim mentality already. Now here's the challenge. Some of us get really addicted to being a victim. The benefits of being a victim. Yes, there are benefits to being a victim. People walk on eggshells around you, you don't have to accept responsibility for anything. Others give you the attention and feel sorry for you. And do you feel justified and complaining and not having to take responsibility for anything that has happened because after all, you know, you could fill in this blank. If blank, blank didn't happen, then I would be in such a better place. You could say, if I wasn't molested by my grandparents, if I wasn't raped by that stranger, if I wasn't stolen from by my coworker, if my husband didn't leave me, if my kids didn't wreck my body, I'd still have a perfect 10 figure, whatever you want to use to play a victim. And I have heard every one of those excuses for women before. You can all use them to play yourself as a victim. Now recently, I heard Charlene Johnson use the term ‘Choose Your Hard’, and I think it's my new favorite quote, choose your hard! I've heard it before. But this time it stuck. So choosing your hard means choosing the hard you're willing to live with. So if you're a person who's been victimized, you can choose your life to be one of hardest, where you're constantly having to be reminded of your victimization as you tell the story over and over and over again. So you can manipulate people's sympathy, or you can choose another path. But see, trying to accomplish things in a victim mindset is like trying to run a sprint or pulling an anvil, you will get there. But the energy and the effort it will take will more than likely wear you out. So what's the other choice. The other choices to clean house, go to counseling, join a group that helps walk through some of the things you're talking about, and begin peeling back the layers and I do mean layers. So a few years ago, my oldest daughter had just had her twins, my son was off in the army, we had a lot of things going on in our lives. And for about a year I had been what I call, stuffing and suppressing, and if you think in cartoon figures like I typically do, because I'm kind of animated in that way, but you lift up a carpet and you start sweeping things under, it stuffing and suppressing them. Stuffing and suppressing them, well eventually, that carpet that's in the middle of the room you can't see over because you've swept so much underneath the carpet to get to another day. As you all know I like Scarlett O'Hara from the movie Gone with the Wind. So that fiddle DD I'll deal with that another day, that procrastination mindset. So, I was doing that over and over and over again. I can't deal with that right now I've got to deal with this emergency. I can't deal with that emotion right now. Because I've got to deal with the emergency right here. I can't deal with this because I've got to deal with this, and what was happening was I was starting to feel anxiety build up. I was starting to feel tension build up, I was starting to lose sleep, my hair was starting to fall out there were very serious things happening in my life, that were a direct result of stuffing and suppressing all of these things. It came to a head one day when I contacted a friend of mine who's a pastor, I said I need to talk to someone. And the sad part was I had contacted her assistant. And I said “that's it. I know, I wrote the policy and procedures on how you get in to see a pastor but I honestly right now cannot remember how to do that, Can you just tell me what I need to do to be able to see be seen by Pastor?” And so Dana sent me back a message and she said, “Pastor Jan will see you at one o'clock this afternoon.” So I went into Pastor Jan's office, and she looked at me dead in the eye and she goes, “Angie, I need you to give yourself permission to fall apart right there.” And I told her, “I couldn't, I couldn't do it.” And she says, “but you need to, you need to be able to fall apart so you can start putting the pieces back together again.” See, I'm one of those tough girls that I kind of have the camouflage victim side of things, right. So, when I worked at the church, there was one time I'd go to my friend Kim's desk and I was a little mad. No, let's rephrase that. I was a lot mad. And when I get mad tears to form in my eyes, how many of you women out there have that happened to you? You get so mad, those tears start coming. And then you get madder because you feel like your emotions are defying you right? SO MAD! I've got tears in my eyes, I go to my friend Kim's desk, another girl there her names Althea she goes, “Okay, I'm gonna let you go. Somebody's broken Angie.” Because so many people were so unfamiliar with seeing my emotions. But see, sitting in that chair that day with my friend, Jan. I knew that if I fell apart, that there might not be enough daylight hours left for me to put myself back together to go on with my next day. So, she recommended a group to me and told me, I should probably get some counseling. I did both. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Now I will admit when I walked into the group. And when I walked into the counseling, I was like, sup? I'm here. What do you want me to talk about? And they're like, Well, what do you want to talk about? I'm like, no, ask questions, I'll answer and they're like, that's not how it works. So I started this class, and it's called mending the soul. And if you have one in your area, I highly encourage you to go to it. They're done in small groups. And if you need information on how to be a part of a group like this reach out to us we’ll help you get in touch with it. But in this meeting the soul, I'm going to probably give the worst, if not the best advertisement for this type of crew. Yes, it's a dichotomy. So in this class, you walk in, and they give you this book, and they tell you that the first five weeks will be like going through chemotherapy. Lovely, I've got enough problems in my life, I don't need a terminal illness on top of all of this, that they said after five weeks, something will shift. And you have to want that shift more than you want to be in out of the five weeks that you’re in. So for five weeks, I walked in clinging my book to my chest, knowing that the things that I wrote in there, the things that I had revealed about myself, the things that were started the layers of the onion that were starting to peel back, were very raw, very truthful, had been very hurtful, and had victimized me and held me back for years. But let me tell you about Week Six, I've got that book, I've got it up in the air. And I'm going “you know what, this is my story, and this is how I will help other people. Because I've walked out of this muck now, with the help of all these people in this room with me, I've walked out of this muck, and we can accomplish anything we've set our mind to now.” So remember, I often tell you, my name is Angie Leigh Monroe, and I am your friend. But as your friend I simply cannot let you walk away, stay in life as a victim because I know you were created for so much more. See, here's, here's the deal. If you're a victim out there, in using this victim mindset, you may not even recognize it in yourself yet, that maybe this is a seed to start opening your eyes to seeing how many times you're telling the story of what you went through. You know, there's a difference between telling the story about what you've been through and parking your RV there and then building up around your RV. I mean, come on, you cannot stay part in the place where your greatest tragedy happened. Because you were destined for so much more than that. We talked about girlfriends in our last episode, and as your girlfriend, I want to come and get you out of that RV USA. Let's burn the RV to the ground and get you a mansion. You know, speaking figuratively, I think I have to put that out there because somebody will be calling me and telling me they want me to build them a mansion. But that's one of the things we would eventually love to do with our organization is we would love to build homes for people that are walking out of these dark places that we are helping them walk out of. So as a victim, you have a choice. You may have not had a choice at the moment that you were victimized, but once you walked away from that act that victimized you, you have a choice. And that choice is right here in front of you today. Do you stay stuck, tied down, anchored down by that act that happened to you? Do you choose to be free? I'm telling you, several years ago, after going through mending the soul and the counseling and all that stuff, it was literally six months of it? It was a hard six months. But I would much rather go through six months of counseling than 25 years of torture from what had happened to me. And that six months of counseling freed me up on multiple levels. And there are still days today that I'm finding multiple other ways that I'm being freed up. So one of the things because I was attacked from behind, I was afraid to put my back to a door or an opening always set with my back against the wall. I had been out of counseling for about a month when I went to a conference and I'm sitting there with my back to the front door of the hotel, facing the wall, and all I could do was start laughing. There was an overwhelming joy to watch what was happening, an overwhelming peace that came about upon me right there. Because I knew that I wasn't living and walking in fear. It didn't mean that I wasn't still alert and aware of what was going on in my surroundings. I had situational awareness. But I wasn't consumed by the fear that was dictating what I could and couldn't do. You know, one of the funny things I'm going to say right now it's funny, haha, funny not. And there's a challenge with a lot of people over moving and losing weight and getting healthy. And if you can see the video of this, you can see that I'm not at optimal health and optimal weight, but I'm working on it. The reason I'm working on it is I've realized that I've allowed past emotions to hold me hostage and make me feel like I didn't deserve to be skinny again. How stupid is that? I know all these things. I've been to counseling, I've done all this stuff. It's just another layer. And I'm not trying to compare myself to anybody out there. And I'm not trying to be skinny mini or supermodel thin or any of that stuff. I'm trying to be healthy so that I can enjoy my lifestyle. But I got to peel back another layer of that victim mindset that I'm not worthy because somebody in my past had told me I wasn't worthy. See, people look at me all the time. And they're like, ‘Wow, you're so strong. You're so powerful. You're so confident You're so this, you're so that.’ That's great, but I have heard so many women talk about the imposter syndrome. And the imposter syndrome can normally be tied back to a moment where you felt like you had lost control of something of victimization of some sort. It doesn't even have to be a crime that you were victimized by. It could have been harsh words from somebody. So do I still get attacked? Yes, I do. Do people say negative things to me, you bet your sweet bippy, they do, but I'm not tormented by the opinions of others anymore. I get over it. It's like a water off a duck's back anymore, it does not have a place to take root anymore. Because see what I went through mending the soul. When I went through the counseling when I kept peeling back those layers, what do the gardener's call it? Weed n feed, I have been a weed n’ feeding my garden. So I pulled all those negative roots out and begin nourishing myself with positive things, and positive influences positive people, positive relationships, positive words of affirmation, and just even my faith, and that begin to grow in me and helped me accomplish bigger and better things. I'm not accomplishing them by myself. As I grow, there are other people around me that are growing up with me and I love that. I love being challenged by them too. It wasn't a couple of weeks ago that I'm going to out her but my assistant basically told me that I was being the slow car in the left lane. You know, if you don't know what the slow car in the left lane means it means the left lane is the fast lane and trust me, I drive in the fast lane. But apparently at that moment, I was letting some things that were internally holding me back and she needed me to be at another level so that she could go to that level too. So be careful because if you're holding yourself back, you may be holding others back and they may be looking to you to accomplish so much more. Now today, for our EVERYDAY DIVA, I'm going to tell you about Amy Modglin because her nickname is Doc Perky. She was a US Navy Corpsman. She is the President and CEO of the Magdalene Modglin leadership solutions, and let me just tell you guys that have a man cave, this girl can put your man cave to shame. She is a huge Boston sports fan, Red Sox patriots, Bruins, you name it. She's a bed and a huge fan of baseball, and she had always had a dream of playing on Fenway, right. So in 2016, she went out and she actually became part of their family, the fantasy team that they did for women, and she has just been added as the newest member of the International Women's baseball center. She's on their board of directors now. So, she is making great strides for women in areas that women weren't ever even thought of being. But see, here's the thing that you don't know about Amy. Amy has been battling cancer for a while. Even in the middle of taking her chemo pills and all the things that she does for that. I think she still runs every day. Some of the medicines that she had helped take away some of her hearing. So she reads lips because she's deaf. But she makes everybody that walks in a room feel welcome. She's engaging, and unless you knew that she was deaf, you would not know that she was deaf. See, she could play the victim role so well because of all the things that have come up with the come up. Boy, that sounded real proper didn't it? Everything has come up against her. But she is a shining example of a woman that I put up there on a pedestal, not to idolize her, but to say, wow, I get to join arms with a girl like her. She's part of my John Maxwell team with me and we love having fun together. So go to our Facebook page. Look up Doc Perky, learn more about her, what she's doing, because she is phenomenal. And if you have somebody you'd like to nominate for an EVERYDAY DIVA, you can email us at blessed@divasimpact.com but today I want you to be just as diligent as Doc Perky is every day, not to be a victim.

Does it have to be HARD?  I asked her, "When is it going to stop being so HARD?" She responded, "When you're ready for it to stop being hard."  What?! Was she saying that the "hard" I was experiencing was a choice? I was SO MAD, but somehow I knew she was right. She was my best friend, and I trusted that she was telling me the truth. "Okay," I replied. "But I don't know how to NOT do hard. Can you tell me how to not do hard?" "Yes, you have to do the work." I wasn't quite sure what "work" she was referring to. Work is all I had been doing. In fact, I was working myself to the bone, and it wasn't working. What I found out was that the "work" she was referring to was that of the "inner work." When my inside begins working with my outside.  When every aspect of me and my life begin to work together. What I soon discovered was that this took a lot of work, but a different type of work. The type of work that brings a change in perspective, progress, and process versus problems that seem to require everyone else to change. Kim McMillen discovered that when she loved herself enough, "When I gave up the belief that life is hard." When we give up the hard we once knew and became accustomed to, it frees us to be a new version of LIGHT and EASE, not hard. She said, "I gave up..." What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to lay down? Are you willing to "try on" a new belief? Are you willing to give up hard by redefining it? H.A.R.D. Health plan. Inside and out Abundance purpose. Moving movement.

CONTENT WARNING: Blunt conversation about rape, sexual assault, domestic violence.   This week we’re joined by Kara Lyne Szabadi to delve into Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture, a collection of essays edited by our favorite Roxane Gay. We try to wrap our minds around rape culture- from our personal experiences on college campuses, at work and in dating to the cultural watershed moments of the 2016 election and #metoo movement. We dive into the notion that it's not just the elephant in the room, but the room itself. Why have we internalized the belief that the global epidemic of sexual violence is “not that bad?” What’s “bad enough?” Why are we SO MAD?    If you need help now:  National Sexual Assault Hotline 24 hours a day  1800-656-4673

This video includes a great strategy that can build a lot of awareness and generate leads for your digital agency business. I'll also reveal one big mistake that can actually hurt your agency business. (Spoiler alert: someone did it today and as you're about to see, I'm pretty FIRED UP about it.) So, a real game changer for me and a lot of other businesses is being a podcast guest. The great thing about being a guest, is that you just do the interview for 30-mins or so and then the host does all the rest of the work. When you're a guest on the shows your niche market is listening to, you have their solid, undivided attention. They're listening to you speak about your experience and expertise. You're spreading awareness and gaining authority in your market. It's a brilliant way to generate leads.... IF you're interview is helpful. Remember, help first to spread good will, don't sell right off the bat. That's where my frustration from today comes in. I just interviewed a former agency owner for my other show, The Smart Agency Master Class (http://smartagencymasterclass.com). This guy used to run a digital agency and now is transitioning into running a service for digital agencies. This should've been a great interview. But instead, this guy just used it as a pitch-fest. UGH! SO MAD!!! :/ Look, I set up the expectations for him. I sent him (as I do with all my guests) the expectations for the interview. Our #1 goal for the podcast is to provide VALUE to my audience. That's it... provide value. I also chatted with the guest before recording the show and told him to focus on his experience running an agency. HE PITCHED THE WHOLE TIME!!! Seriously, the entire time. I can't even use this interview for my podcast because I refuse to expose my audience to this type of garbage. So I want you to learn from this guy's mistake and hear what I'm saying. When you're interviewed on a podcast, just provide value with no expectations for an immediate return. I promise, it will come back to you in the long run. I can't even begin to tell you what a game changer this can be for your digital agency when you provide value as a podcast guest. Your ideal clients are listening to podcast when they're working out, in waiting rooms, on road trips, etc. People want to hear what you have to say and it will strike a chord for them. They will remember you for it, as long as you don't use it as a forum for a sales pitch. ======================================================= SUBSCRIBE NOW to follow my entrepreneurial journey. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDvZHFVeqEMq58q6tMoyMK-ufpp0ysoVP ======================================================= Thanks for watching.

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew plays Project Highrise after receiving it as part of this month's Humble Bundle subscription service, while Dan reads a book about the history of the Japanese game industry in Chris Kohler's Power-Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life. THINK INSIDE THE BOX: With Andrew's sojourn into the world of subscription grab-bag services, he and Dan discuss the growing phenomenon and where they think the trajectory may end up. ACCELERATED EVOLUTION: When a YouTube star gets the spotlight from a major industry publication, his world starts to crumble a little bit despite his denial of it. Swedish YouTube sensation, PewDiePie, encountered some issues after an exposé by the Wall Street Journal causes him to lose valuable contracts and allies and seemingly sends him into a strange spiral of denial and self-pity––without losing any subscribers. Andrew and Dan look at this very strange situation and how it connects to the larger cultural issues the news media and celebrity are dealing with while trying to figure out a solution.
