Exercise, healthier coping methods, and safe group spaces can have an enormous effect on your life. Dr. Ashley Sandeen joins me to talk about how she rediscovered her self-worth, broke up with the scale, and shifted her mental perspective through group coaching.   Alternative Ways to Process Emotions Practice thought work: Thoughts, Feelings, Actions, Results Exercise regularly Eat a healthy diet Find a safe space or collaborative support group   About Dr. Ashley Sandeen Ashley Sandeen, DO is a Pediatric Intensivist and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in South Dakota. She is also a proud daughter, sister, wife, and mother to two energetic boys.  Ashley grew up an athlete, as both a competitive swimmer and dancer with her local ballet company. As her medical education path began at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and on through her training in pediatrics and critical care at the University of Iowa, fitness and her own health became less of a priority.  She has so enjoyed the journey to finding this part of herself again through yoga, strength training, and her peloton. She hopes to share her reinvigorated passion for health and wellness with her family and those she loves.   Discovering Exercise and Thought Work Dr. Ashley Sandeen shares her childhood experiences as an athlete. But going through her demanding medical training and raising a family, Ashley lost a lot of that time she spent on herself. Not only that, she took a lot of her self-worth from the number on the scale. Working together, Ashley not only rediscovered her love of movement, especially strength training, but she also shifted her worth outside of that scale number. This shift was a huge benefit to her mentally, emotionally, and physically. Ashely also learned how to trust the process we used together. The biggest breakthrough for Ashley was learning how to shift her thoughts. By following a healthier thought model, her coping method shifted to thinking about a problem, solution, or exercise rather than reaching for food or shopping.   Group Coaching Dynamics Group coaching added a unique element to training for Ashley. Having that group dynamic was an absolute gamechanger to her mentality, discourse, and enthusiasm in her personal development.  Ashley says that her favorite aspect of group coaching is the safe, collaborative space with other women in similar professions. Safe space is essential, especially for women physicians who don't often have that outlet to work through their heavy thoughts and feelings. Finally, Ashley talks about how she's started using exercise again to help her process her emotions. She knows it's much healthier than her former coping mechanisms, and it allows her to relax and figure out what she's actually feeling.   Homework for Women Physicians How are you building exercise into your routine this week? Do you process your own emotions while working out? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!   In This Episode  What happens when you shift your worth outside of aesthetic measurements [7:45] Why you have to trust the process [9:15] Why you should learn how to deal with your emotions in a healthy way [17:00] The power of a safe, collaborative space [19:30] How to work through heavy thoughts and feelings [23:30] How exercise can help you process emotions [25:00]   Quotes “My worth is really just something that's inherent. It's not defined by any of those numbers or any of that data.” [8:37] “I catch myself doing mental thought downloads multiple times per day and working through the different steps of my thoughts, feelings, actions, results. I think that's now just a way that my brain works. It's really fascinating to think about how that's changed over the last year. A lot of the buffering things I've used in the past are just not that exciting anymore. Food, shopping, or other things, I've now replaced with true thought work or exercise.” [23:21] “I love that we do the group coaching. I think that's really powerful for me and I know that a lot of other programs don't have that. We can learn a lot from each other, given any of our similarities. It gives us an opportunity to help each other. That's so uplifting and strengthening. It's the back and forth of people helping each other that's really powerful.” [26:33]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 48: Dr. Laura Demoya on Discovery Self-Worth  Episode 57: Dr. Stierman on Breaking Up with the Scale  Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation

In this episode Craig talks with Jenny Cotie Kangas, Director of Digital Experience for Talent Acquisition at Regis Corporation - the largest hair salon chain in the world which owns brands like Supercuts, SmartStyle, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters, Roosters, and many more. Jenny is a rare hybrid in the recruiting world. She describes herself like this: "My professional tool belt doesn't look like many others. It's comprised of a variety of tools, added and sharpened through years as a Project Consultant. I'm a Program Manager but by all other standards, I'm a builder. As a kid, learning came hard for me. To understand what came easy to my peers I would identify patterns and reverse engineer. This helped my “faster than normal” brain understand and learn. From an early age, I viewed the world through systems. Having this mindset resulted in me being able to move learning to mastery quickly. I became known as the girl in the project world you'd call if you didn't have a person with the necessary skill set for a role. “She's the Purple- Sparkly-Unicorn-Utility Tool and sharp as a tack,” a former Recruiter explained to a hiring manager, “She might not have the background today, but she will learn it and quick.” In October 2019 I was challenged to apply my systems brain to a new world. My insurance company had not given me enough money post water damage to finish my home. I had a couple of options - pay the extra money to finish the house or sell as-is. I went with option three and picked up an actual tool-belt. Single mom with three kids - I learned construction and personally rebuilt my house from the studs out. These days you'll find me during the week focused on building frictionless processes and systems. Outside of work, you'll find me in an actual tool-belt, finishing my house and helping others to learn the trades." Jenny and Craig discuss -designing outcomes with your audience in mind -Store-level hiring -Franchisees and how to get them to understand hiring, what's the story for that? -Failing fast and failing forward -Design bias, when you go into a situation to help but those you are helping are pre-disposed to think anyone from "corporate" isn't helpful. -Solving hard, non-linear problems -The concept of the mirror and window in hiring -How to avoid basing recruiting on what we've traditionally done -How to avoid shrinking your guardrails -How to condense user adoption from 3 days to 15 minutes -The power of a "what if?" It's always fun when Jenny and Craig get together for a chat. This is a good one.

We return to the antiques romance trilogy The Boardwalk Antiques Shop to review the second novella in the collection, Solving for X! Fewer antiques than promised, and what remains is certainly... something.

Coaching is such an important practice, and it’s one that has proven benefits for physicians. Dr. Tonya Caylor joins me to talk about group and private coaching, releasing other people’s expectations, and the importance of self-care.   The Benefits of Coaching Group Coaching:  You know you’re not alone struggling with that issue You can help troubleshoot other’s problems which might help you Private Coaching It’s a safe space to talk about problems you don’t want everyone knowing   About Dr. Tonya Caylor Tonya Caylor, MD, FAAFP is a family physician in Anchorage, Alaska. She founded Joy in Family Medicine Coaching after realizing the power of physician coaching and seeing a paucity of it at the resident level.  She developed a systematic curriculum and coaching program to give physicians the tools early in their training to not only sustain a life-long career but also to find wholeness and joy in the journey. Tonya continues to enjoy her clinical practice and remains an on-call faculty for the Alaska Family Medicine Residency Program.  Dr. Caylor has 21 years of post-residency clinical experience, 12 of those years involving academic medicine at the residency level. She completed the faculty development fellowship through the University of Washington. Dr. Caylor is a certified culinary coach through Harvard's Institute of Lifestyle Medicine as well as a Certified Professional Coach through the Life Coach School.  She has completed additional coursework at the Co-Active Training Institute. She coaches medical students through the AMWA-Ignite program, residents, early-career physicians, and faculty through her own program. She is a generalist at heart and sees her clients as whole, capable and resourceful.    Coaching is for Everyone You don’t have to hate your life to invest in a powerful life transformation through coaching. In fact, that’s exactly what happened when Dr. Tonya Caylor came to me for coaching. She said, “I like my life,” and how powerful is that? Coaching helps you apply all those tools you read about in self-help books. Coaching gives you a sounding board, in either a group or private setting, to figure out your next best steps to take. Tonya offers both private and group coaching. She shares the benefits of group coaching and why she loves it so much. In group coaching, you can bounce off the other folks, learn from what issues they’re receiving coaching on, and work on your own critical thinking skills while figuring out what you’d do in their position.   The Importance of Self Care As a self-branded “woo coach,” Tonya worried how other people saw her. But she’s also started releasing other people’s expectations of the type of person and coach she should be. This is one of the reasons you should approach coaching with an open mind; you never know if a certain approach to coaching is exactly the type you need. One of the most common complaints Tonya works with her clients about is burnout. As physicians, it’s so common to experience burnout due to the nature of the job. But by prioritizing self-care and filling your own cup first, you can avoid, or at least minimize, burnout. Self-care is so important! We both urge you to prioritize your self-care. Do what lights you up, make time for what rejuvenates you, and take care of yourself. You will absolutely be a more effective and present physician.   Homework for Women Physicians How are you prioritizing self-care this week? What are some of your favorite self-care activities? Where do you fall short in taking care of yourself? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!   In This Episode  What the purpose of coaching is [9:00] The benefits of group coaching [11:45] What happens when you release other people’s expectations [17:30] Why you should approach coaching with an open mind [19:45] Some of the steps to avoid burnout [22:15] The importance of self-care [23:30]   Quotes “You can go read any self-help book, there’s plenty of books out there. But what coaching does it take those tools and helps you apply them. Without that coaching piece, you’re just reading nice things that tell you what you should think. But the coaching really makes it tangible.” [9:48] “There’s evidence out there. Mayo Clinic, Harvard - There are published studies, evidence-based, randomized controlled trials showing the benefit of physician coaching.” [20:21] “You have to prioritize whatever it is that rejuvenates you and take care of yourself. Then you can be more effective and more present for those you serve.” [22:48]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Dr. Tonya Caylor Online Follow Dr. Tonya Caylor on Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube | Twitter Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care  Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation  Episode 52: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Healing the Healers

In this conversation, based on the book The Spirit of Green: The Economics of Collisions and Contagions in a Crowded World, Nobel Prize-winning pioneer in environmental economics Dr. Nordhaus explains how and why “green thinking” could cure many of the world’s most serious problems — from global warming to pandemics. Solving the world’s biggest problems requires, more than anything else, coming up with new ways to manage the powerful interactions that surround us. For carbon emissions and other environmental damage, this means ensuring that those responsible pay their full costs rather than continuing to pass them along to others, including future generations. Nordhaus describes a new way of green thinking that would help us overcome our biggest challenges without sacrificing economic prosperity, in large part by accounting for the spillover costs of economic collisions. In a discussion that ranges from the history of the environmental movement to the Green New Deal, Nordhaus explains how rethinking economic efficiency, sustainability, politics, profits, taxes, individual ethics, corporate social responsibility, finance, and more would improve the effectiveness and equity of our society.

  In this episode Rob talks about tactics and strategies you can adopt to scale your income. These are higher level tips, from Rob's own proven experience, for those who are looking to take their business to the next level and more!   KEY TAKEAWAYS   You need to develop higher level people. That can be trainers, managers or getting an MD. Without higher quality people you will be stuck at the lower level. Learn to manage and control your emotions. If you want to take the challenge to go from a 6 or 7 figure business to 8 or more you need to learn how to handle criticism and the deal with challenges, accept this without loss of enthusiasm or energy. Make sure you have a rolling recruitment strategy. You need to always be on the lookout for great talent. Build a board, of mentors, senior advisors and managers. Create a mastermind group so that you can build processes, kpis, accounts etc that is fluid and timely. You'll get quicker to the next level the sooner you build your board, even if it's just 2 people. Create a high ticket offer. You can sell a lot more but still make a great margin. Start creating paid ads. You can test content for ads and then once you know it works, pay for it and scale it. Make a bigger audience and reach. One way Rob does this is by leveraging his time in the content he creates. He will do one recording but put it on multiple platforms, such as running a FB live which then gets used for a podcast episode. Stop duplicating your time and get smart and repurpose your content. Master one vertical. Then cross pollinate into the others! Don't spread yourself too thin and create multiple unrelated businesses. Rob started his property business and only once he started to be successful, branched out to related verticals.

He is board-certified in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a certified mental performance consultant (CMPC), and licensed in NY and NJ to practice psychology.  Dr. Pete works with high performers at the collegiate and professional level, including NY and NJ universities, athletes in the NHL, MLS, and NFL. Dr. Pete is also a student of Zen Buddhism studying at the Morning Star Zendo with Robert Kennedy, Roshi for several years, which has translated into his mindfulness practices offered through the third wave CBT theories. Listen to his podcast, When East Meets West, and follow Dr. Pete on Instagram.   Compassion Fatigue and Grace Being compassionate all the time does come with a cost - and for us high achieving women, it’s usually time for ourselves. Dr. Pete Economou explains what compassion fatigue is and how to identify if you’re experiencing it. Pete is very familiar with eating too many Oreos at times - something all of us understand. What Pete teaches is to accept these moments as they are normal, we all give in to a binge. It’s okay. When you learn to accept the behavior, you learn to give yourself grace when they happen. Part of compassion fatigue is having a lack of boundaries. Setting boundaries does not have to make you any less compassionate. In fact, you’ll probably be more compassionate as you’ve had space to fill your own cup first.   Make Peace with your Body Pete talks about body neutrality. He says that every single person has some kind of distorted body image. It’s normal, especially in our body-focused society.  But he also shares what happens when you achieve body acceptance and make peace with your body. Your body is your vehicle on this planet, it doesn’t have to look or behave a certain way. Once you find this peace, you can commit to making change. Finally, Pete explains how you can start making peace with your body. It’s the daily changes, physical and emotional, that help. For him, the two most important factors are regular meditation and reclaiming joy.   Homework for Women Physicians Do you practice gratitude? Regular practice of gratitude can have significant benefits in so many areas of your life. Start a new habit of writing three things you’re grateful for every day for the next three weeks. Let me know in the comments on the episode page how you get on.   In This Episode  What compassion fatigue is [6:30] The signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue [10:00] How to accept that you might have a binge [13:45] How to have compassion and boundaries [19:00] What happens when you make peace with your body [20:30] The importance of laughter [24:00]   Quotes “Compassion fatigue is a depletion of compassion, whether for self or for others. If we’re putting our mask on first, then we’re focused on that self-compassion. This means that yes, you will miss an exercise. You will eat an extra Oreo. You will mess up and you have the permission to do so.” [13:01] “There is not a human being who doesn’t have a distorted image of their body. With 100% accuracy, each individual has some distortion, whether a thought around their body or an actual perception of it. It’s not until you get to a place of acceptance where it is, it’s your body. In the Third Wave mentality, our body is a vehicle, it’s not actually ours. It’s a vehicle in this life. If we can just have compassion for our body, accept it as it is, for all of its imperfections  (whether rational or irrational). It’s about getting to a place of peace around it. I can’t commit to change until I’ve come to peace.” [19:30] “I really encourage people to find joy. You have to create joy. In terms of compassion fatigue, what I will say is that it’s a lot easier to stay unhappy, apathetic, and depressed. It’s a lot harder to maintain a balanced and well life.” [24:51]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Buy Mindfulness Workbook for Beginners: Exercises and Meditations to Relieve Stress, Find Joy, and Cultivate Gratitude Online Listen to When East Meets West  Find Dr. Pete Economou Online Follow Dr. Pete Economou on Instagram | Twitter | The CWC Twitter Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care  Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation  Episode 52: Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Healing the Healers

When body image issues and limiting beliefs stem from childhood, it can be so difficult to be content with your adult body. Contentment comes not just from healing these traumas, it also comes from removing triggers from your daily life. Dr. Sarah Stierman talks about how she broke up with the scale and feels good at her new stronger and smaller, though heavier, size.   How to Break Up with the Scale Put your scale in another room (or remove it from the house) Determine your body type Work out and eat to support your body type List your evidence of non-scale related success (photos, measurements, how you feel)   About Dr. Sarah Stierman Dr. Sarah Stierman is a board-certified Dermatologist and Dermatopathologist in private practice in NW Ohio. She co-owns her practice of 12 providers (including her husband of 18 years) and 65+ employees.  Dr. Sarah Stierman enjoys treating patients of all ages with medical, surgical, and cosmetic concerns. She especially enjoys helping adult women achieve optimal skin health through science-based skincare and procedures.  She is a mother of two school-aged children, and a pet mom to 17 (dogs, cats, chickens, and one fish at last count). Sarah actively participates in local community theatre, vocal performance music, and is an avid supporter of the Arts. In her spare time, she works on her Overwhelm, lifts heavy things, enjoys vegetarian cooking, and tries to catch up on her sleep. ...the Work never ends!   Healing Limiting Body Beliefs It’s unfortunate, but so many of us develop body image issues in our childhood. Whether this stems from traumatic events perpetrated by family members, like what happened to Dr. Sarah Stierman, or societal pressure, these events trigger limiting beliefs about our body. Sarah explains how she was always bigger than her friends. She now understands she has a different body type - a mesomorphic body - that is naturally bigger. This body type also gains muscle much easier than other body types. When Sarah accepted that she couldn’t change her body type, she learned to embrace it. This meant she started understanding how to fuel it and what exercise feels good.   Breaking Up with the Scale Sarah had to check her perfectionist ways at the door. She chose to reframe and embrace her mesomorph body for what it can actually do - not what she wanted it to do. She realized it wasn’t going to be perfect, but it was her body. Part of Sarah’s monumental journey to self-acceptance was breaking up with the scale. It’s not an easy decision to make, especially when you’ve been a slave to it all your life. Sarah physically removed it from her life, but mentally it was much harder. Any time Sarah feels doubt and like she needs to check on the scale, she instead writes lists of all the non-scale victories she’s achieved. Muscle weighs more than fat is a mantra we can all live by.   Homework for Women Physicians Have you split up with your scale yet? If you haven’t, I want you to start the process. Move your scale out of its normal home and go a week without stepping on it. A week is easy? Try a month. Let me know in the comments on the episode page how you get on.   In This Episode  How our childhood can create limiting beliefs about our bodies [7:30] What happens when you accept that you can’t change your body type [14:00] How to embrace imperfection [17:15] How to break up with the scale [19:30] Why the Transform program is different from other transformation programs [26:30]   Quotes “It’s just phenomenal how stifling it was and created my limiting beliefs. I know my metabolism is not broken based on my results with Transform. It’s just amazing how easy it is to derail yourself. You’re the only one standing in the way of yourself.” [9:23] “I’m a chronic over-achiever so I guess I’m just going to have to reframe and embrace my body for what it actually can do. It’s amazing when you actually are able to harness your own potential.” [15:18] “I have done strength training body transformation programs before. I hurt myself. I injured my back and injured my elbow, I had tendonitis. I felt so betrayed by my own body and felt that nothing works. When I show myself that I can be strong and I can make gains, my body just shuts down and betrays me. Transform felt easy because I can gain muscle so easily, but it also felt good. It didn’t feel like I was punishing myself. It didn’t feel like I was going to hurt myself. The biggest shift, this time around, is breaking up with the scale for good. It’s over.” [26:16]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 50: Dr. Lindsey Davis on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Episode 54: Dr. Monica Milas on Transformation Through 100 lb Weight Loss Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation

With financial planning, technical skills are the minimum job requirement. Learning to do functional jobs like data gathering, analysis, and preparing the financial plan are essential.

It’s so easy to let yourself become less important during catastrophic events. But as Dr. Katie Jobbins talks about, if you’re not looking after yourself, you won’t have the long-term capacity to care for others. Self-care is important, especially through a pandemic.   Key Takeaways You can be okay with where you are and enjoy it Let whatever you’re focusing on go and move on Find movement you love and want to do   About Dr. Katie Jobbins Katie Jobbins, DO, MS, FACP is a primary care internist at High Street Health Center Adult, an academic hospitalist at Baystate Medical Center, and Associate Program in the Internal Medicine Department at UMMS-Baystate in Springfield, MA.  Dr. Jobbins received her undergraduate degree in Nutrition Science from Syracuse University and her Masters in Science from Case Western Reserve University in Nutrition and Metabolism. She attended Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine where she graduated in 2010.   Initially, Dr. Jobbins started her training in general surgery residency at the Cleveland Clinic--South Pointe but after 2 years found her true passion was in Internal Medicine. She then completed 3 years of Internal Medicine and stayed on to be Chief Residents in 2015-2016 at Baystate Medical Center.     In her current role as Associate Program Director in the MMS-Baystate Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Jobbins serves as a clinician-educator working with residents in both the inpatient and ambulatory setting. She leads the social justice working group, the director of the resident’s self-reflection and wellness curriculums, ambulatory quality improvement curriculum, co-director of the humanities track, and director of the Chief Resident leadership curriculum for the health system.   Dr. Jobbins is also an Assistant Profession at UMMS-Baystate. She is an active member both nationally and locally in SGIM, AMA, AMWA, and the ACP. In the Massachusetts ACP Chapter, she is the co-chair of the Early Career Physician Council and supervises the resident/fellow council. She recently won one of the AMA Inspiration Awards for her work in medical education.    Prioritizing Yourself During a Pandemic When this pandemic hit, Dr. Katie Jobbins found herself falling back into old habits where she didn’t prioritize her own health. Despite previously going to therapy and private programs, it wasn’t until she joined a group program that Katie felt she had the tools and accountability to make lasting changes. The pandemic has impacted all of us in one way or another, and for so many of us, it’s been detrimental to how we take care of ourselves. Katie explains why it was essential for her to find time for herself. Katie shares some of the ways she started prioritizing herself throughout the last year. It doesn’t matter that there’s a pandemic going on - it shouldn’t change the way you care for yourself.   Creating Space for Yourself Every Day Katies says you need to make sure you’re doing something for yourself every single day - and notice when and what this is. It’s not only about doing something for yourself. The act of recognizing that you’re putting yourself first has a positive impact on your overall health, too. Katie shares some ideas for how to look for and create space in your life. Can you go for a walk during your lunch break? Take advantage of what space you already have in your schedule. Finally, Katie talks about how she started enjoying exercise and movement. It’s so different to approach movement and wellness from a place of love and joy than from a space of necessity. This change of mindset is so valuable.   Homework for Women Physicians How do you create space in your day that’s just for you? If you haven’t done this - or haven’t done it sustainably - this is your permission slip to start finding space. Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  Why group coaching programs have a different impact than private programs or even therapy [8:00] Why you need to make time for yourself, even when you don’t feel like you have it [10:30] How to put yourself first, even during a pandemic [13:00] Why you should recognize what you’re doing for yourself [14:30] How to look for and create space in your life [18:45] How to have a healthy relationship with activity and mental health [28:00]   Quotes “I needed that external stimulus from someone else who was almost like my honest mirror. I could hear it, but I was afraid to say it out loud. When I finally said to her that I need help, I need additional resources with people who are having similar struggles to me. I had done therapy, I’d done all the private things, but I needed something that was more of a group together. I needed accountability. As the pandemic went on further, I felt more isolated. I needed something that could help me have a deeper connection with other people.”  [7:13] “The pandemic’s going to keep going. It’s not going away, this is our life now. For us to say that that we’re going to get to a new life at some point, great. But this is where we are now. I can’t change that. I can control what I do, I can try to control what goes on in my family. The biggest part of the transformation is that I’m okay with the chaos now.” [13:12] “You should do something for yourself every day. The idea that there is space for you if you let yourself have it. It’s okay, don’t feel guilty. Create that space for yourself.” [15:25] “I think that the biggest takeaway from the Transform process is that I’m taking care of myself and I feel less helpless. When the pandemic hit, I felt helpless, and I couldn’t figure out where that came from. It’s that I really needed to help myself. I was already helping so many other people. But I needed to help myself so that I could take care of all the other things that were on my plate.” [31:23]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation Episode 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care Episode 50: Dr. Lindsey Davis on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Solving problems. 6 directions before the problem. 11 directions during the problem. 7 directions after the problem.

Mini malls, shopping centers, and large department stores all still exist and remain popular despite their digital counterparts But online marketplaces are where more and more brands are gathering to not just sell goods, but to get a better 360 view of their customers, and gain access to sell products from other big name brands that fit their marketplace niche. On this episode of Up Next in Commerce, I explored that idea a bit more with Jason Wyatt, the Executive Chairman at Marketplacer, a business dedicated to creating marketplaces. We dove into the various ways that Jason has seen marketplaces evolve, especially in recent years. Plus, Jason talked about some of the incredible innovation that he’s seen take place  thanks to marketplaces — including the birth of Providoor, an Australian marketplace for restaurants that was built as a reaction to COVID-19 and reached a $100 million run rate within 12 weeks. We talked about how the marketplace connections made that possible, and also how the B2B landscape can be revolutionized thanks to marketplaces. Enjoy this episode!Main Takeaways:Getting The Bigger Picture: By creating a marketplace, businesses can get a much deeper picture into the attributes of their customers, while also gaining access to inventory and products to sell from big name brands. The key to success? Curation.We Have A Connection: One of the greatest advantages of a marketplace are the connections that can be formed within them. Especially from a B2B perspective, because for so long those buyers have been left out of the ecommerce equation. They desire the same level of connection and ease that those in B2C have come to expect though, and marketplaces have provided a way to create community and engagement that has made B2B selling and buying much easier.Long Live Loyalty: Big brands have long tapped into loyalty programs as a way to earn customer trust and keep them coming back. By expanding point systems to usage within a marketplace, brands are now becoming even more trustworthy and respected in the eyes of consumers, who can all of a sudden get more bang for their buck. Additionally, the rise of wide-ranging marketplace loyalty strategies will likely become a new way for retailers to attract customers to newer marketplaces.For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

Today on the show, we have Jason Wyatt, who currently serves as the executive chairman of Marketplacer. Jason, welcome.Jason:Hi Stephanie, thanks so much for having me on the show today.Stephanie:Thanks for hopping on at 7:00 am. I think you're one of the earliest guests I've talked to over in Australia, so I appreciate you coming on and joining me for a fun chat.Jason:No worries at all. It's just a pleasure to be on the show and talk to your community.Stephanie:I was hoping we could start back in your... way back in the early days when you were 13, because I saw a fun story about what you were doing back then and a little entrepreneurial spirit that was going on, and I was hoping you can kind of share what you're doing back then so people can get to know you a bit before we dive into Marketplacer. This is all around a loan that you got from your dad if you know what I'm talking about.Jason:Well, I might, I was actually... I was a mad sports fan, as the majority of Australians are in this country. And I was playing tennis at the time, if I'm on the right track with this story. And we used to play a lot and pretty competitive. But my brother was a lot better than me, but I used to sort of grab onto his heels, but we constantly used to break racket strings. And we didn't come from this massive affluent family. We come from a family of just, the harder you work, the luckier you get. But dad, what he did do is he loaned us the money to buy our own stringing racket. He just said, "If you keep breaking these strings, well you got to fix them yourself."Jason:My brother and I took advantage of that situation. We figured we had an unfair advantage versus the other tennis players within the group. And then what we actually did is we turned that into a little tennis racket stringing business. So at the age of sort of 13 or 14, we were making a hundred bucks a racket, stringing out sort of four rackets a night and we had a little good business going on. I suppose the entrepreneurial spirit sort of started at a very, very young age where we had a problem to solve and then we solved it for other people.Stephanie:I love that. It definitely rang close to home because I was out in my neighbor's yard, raking, weeding doing anything I could just to earn $5 here and there. And I love hearing about how other people had that itch early on too, and seeing what it turned into later on in life.Stephanie:I'd love to jump into Marketplacer a bit and hear what is it? When did you create it? And what are you guys up to today?Jason:Marketplacer is probably the most fascinating business that I've ever been associated with, because it enabled so much global connection and enables people and businesses all over the world to sell things they don't own and to really supercharge commerce. And the story started back when my co-founder and I, Sam Salter, we just had a simple idea 13 years ago to make it easier for people to buy and sell bicycles. And we created a business called BikeExchange. Think of cars.com for bikes. You're buying a new bike and you want to see everything in one single destination or you're selling your bike and you want to sell it to a community that's a trusted community, has a sense of belonging behind it. And we created BikeExchange. But in doing that we had some really, really big, tough entrepreneurial problems to solve.Jason:We had to come up with a sales and marketing plan. We had to come up with a customer success program, but most importantly, the technology never existed. So, we not only have to be great salespeople, not only a great customer focused, but we had to become technologists at the same time. And we just thought, in everything, in creating a business, in creating a marketplace on a global scale it's a problem that we could help other entrepreneurs or other businesses now actually start to use a platform to enable them to be able to create it. So the story was born out of solving our own problem, out of eating our own dog food in a technology term. But now we help people all over the world in 10 countries solve that marketplace journey, of really just making it easy to connect a customer and community to make it easier for them to sell things they don't own and to supercharge commerce. And I'm sure we're going to unpick what that means in a lot more depth over the next hour or so.Stephanie:That's awesome. What's wild to me is that building a marketplace is notoriously like the hardest thing you can do in commerce. Everyone struggles with supply side, demand side, how to build which one first, and you're not only doing it once. You're replicating it, using your software and doing it with multiple industries. How do you even go about approaching it, especially if it's a new marketplace?Stephanie:You had your bike one, I know earlier you were talking about meal delivery from restaurants, how do you even think about building a new marketplace and solving for both sides of the market?Jason:It's a really good question because we always identify what we consider to be an unfair advantage when we help our clients and customers really figure out whether it's a worthwhile strategic project for them. Because it's a strategic project to go through, that marketplace journey. And the unfair advantage has really been always anchored around two core elements. The first being an existing community or audience or customer base that you know they want to buy more things from you. Or you know you can connect them up in a single destination to improve that customer experience. And the second is more often not the ability to have an in-depth knowledge of the supply base, a connectivity into that supply base and product base. You can actually really exploit the now and explore the future around connecting those two sides of those marketplace journeys.Jason:The evolution and the story of a marketplace has really evolved over time too, from the humble beginnings of a BikeExchange when we first started. It's now in 10 countries, and now we're out around the world and listed on the Australian stock exchange in January of this year.Jason:Thank you, awesome team effort by the team. To really large retailers and brands and, and all types of traditional types of business saying, "Hey, I've actually got one or probably two of those unfair advantages and how can I make it easier for me to grow and drive growth within my existing customer base, without the limits of capital and without the limits of actually producing all of the products, but enhancing my customer experience along the way?"Stephanie:How do you figure out, I mean, how I'm envisioning is that you would probably have like a lead brand who's for the bike one or for the meal delivery one you'd have to have kind a lead person who's owning that marketplace and then they're onboarding other brands as well. And other customers, is that how I'm thinking about it? Because I can't imagine having 20 BikeExchanges where every bike company is, "Well, I want my own marketplace. And I want mine." It seems once you have one, it's probably good enough and you have to be a part of that one.Jason:It's a really, really good question.Jason:There's different types of marketplaces, but the evolution that is really happening at the moment is, take SurfStitch for example. SurfStitch is actually a commerce cloud customer. They're a pure play surf wear brand. They sell hard goods, soft goods and clothing and bus fashion around it. But they've got this community, this tribal community of surfers and they're really a successful business, great growth really, really well leveraged on the commerce cloud stack. But when they looked at their business and they looked at their strategic path, they're constrained by warehouses, they're constrained by the capital, but they had in the back of their mind that they thought that, if we could have the full range of surfboards, instead of only taking 20% of the range of surfboards in all sizes, by connecting up to the wholesaler warehouses.Jason:And then to unpick that to the next layer, when you think about it, a surfer is quite a soulful person. They love the outdoors and are they only surfing? Or are they going hiking on the weekend? Are they exploring the outdoors as well? But I don't want to put a hiking gear in my warehouse. That's too risky, but I could go and connect up to Patagonia to take a full range extension from Patagonia without owning the inventory. So by taking a marketplace strategy or really a growth strategy, what they were really able to do is make it easy for them to connect that to a supplier base, to improve their customer experience and really enhance that 360 view of what that customer is trying to do. Not only from a data perspective, but a product and an experience perspective.Stephanie:Got it. That makes a lot more sense now. And it also just seems the role of curation is so important and whoever's curating the best products and not just throwing a thousand things into one marketplace, really thinking, like you said of, okay, you might be hiking, but you're probably not cooking too. Like I'm not going to put cookware in my marketplace with Patagonia stuff and surf boards. It seems like curation is huge when it comes to that. And also knowing what's trending and what their customers will like is a big part.Jason:Yeah, but it also enables this strategy, the ability to fail fast within there as well. If you put it a camping stove on there or a shower after you go for a surf, to clean yourself off, you haven't bought it. You've had a go at growing in there. It didn't work customers didn't like it. So just turn it off.Jason:With Marketplacer what we really focus on as well, is a really strong vetting engine for the sales force customer and any of our customer community so that they... it's just not a free for all, for all of the products flowing through. It's that ease of connectivity into the supplier base. And then it's the strict controls and measures that you can put in place to enable your customer experience within the marketplace strategy, not just "the everything for everyone" experience. If that makes sense?Stephanie:Yeah, it makes sense. I was going to ask when it comes to marketplaces, how do you guys think about marketplace or versus the Amazons and the eBays and Etsy's of the world that seem like they are kind of creating custom curated collections in a way too. But not as much of a niche level where I would say "Okay, we're going to be doing bikes and here's your community and your people." How do you think about the landscape of marketplaces right now?Jason:It's a very interesting landscape, because it's kind of a bit of a cross matrix at the moment, Stephanie. In that there's B to B, B to C and B to B to C plays within what we're trying to do. And then if you take the types of marketplaces the other way, so all three of those really go across all three gamuts. And then if you take the types of marketplaces, you've got the niche and the tribal based marketplaces, and we put media organizations into that bucket. If you imagine all of the great magazines, like we power lots of magazine marketplaces, where Time+Tide is a good example of a watch marketplace, where they have the beautiful content, they have the trust within the industry. They had a community of people looking to buy watches, but they didn't have that connectivity into the supply. But now they've got it. Another really great example is FishBrain, which is the world's largest fishing marketplace.Stephanie:Didn't know that existed. That's awesome.Jason:I'm not a big fishing person, but think of Strava fishing. Think of a really, really large... I think they've got over 13 million users within the United States now. They wanted that into a commerce play, but they didn't want to own inventory. They didn't have a buyership, they didn't have product developers. It was too difficult to do it. So what they did is they partnered and they connected into the world's best fishing suppliers to create a marketplace. Now that has over 60,000 products to sell that you can just buy.Stephanie:Is there ever a chance of them getting lost. When I hear 60,000 products within a fishing marketplace, how do you get found in that big marketplace?Jason:That's an interesting one. So fishing is probably the best industry to do it because what I have learned about fishing is there's lots of micro products for the local areas. So there's lots of little lures and lots of little different tackles setups, the different communities and different areas. There's lots of niche products within the niche. That one makes a ton of sense to have a really big, broad breadth of inventory within that.Jason:So if you think of the tribe, the addressable market behind people trying to take that convergence of content into commerce and contextual commerce, that space is born for a marketplace. Isn't it? It's an affiliate 4.0 where it can connect into the supply banks. Then you look at brands and retailers and franchise groups and cooperatives. If you actually look at the structure of all of those businesses... Co-operatives and franchise by default are marketplaces. They're a masthead brand their third-party inventory is owned by their franchisees groups. What we're finding in this space is we're just increasing the offering that they can have.Jason:We connect up their franchisees group into a single destination. For example, actually within Australia, we run the largest tire business called Bob Jane T-Marts and Bob Jane T-Marts are a really large franchise group. They're a $600 million business. And tires are a complicated product. They seem simple, but they're incredibly complicated because you've got to match every tire to every car to every wheel ever made, ever sold.Jason:But by creating a marketplace strategy within that, they're really famous for solving one problem. We connected up all the franchise groups via our marketplace technology. But if you think about it, what they really have is car data and car ownership data. What else could they sell a person at the BMW, other than tires and wheels that could enhance their car driving experience? You'll start to see lots of these franchise groups, not only connected in unifying their customer experience, but actually starting to think about how can they enhance their customer experience without the cost of capital burden placed that amongst their franchisees group or cooperative structures and buying groups are in the same bucket.Jason:Then if you just think of traditional retailers, whether they're a pure play or a bricks and mortar or a blend of both. Which the world has a blend of both now, right? There's no real, just pure play or bricks and mortar retailers anymore. So the problem they're trying to solve is exactly that problem we talked through with SurfStitch. How do they enhance their customer experience in store or online. Where they can range extend or category extend, to supercharge their commerce journey within that.Jason:And that last sort of bucket within that is that brand or wholesaler journey. And the brand and wholesaler journey is a really interesting one because it does really touch on those three sort of core verticals that I said at the start being B2C, B2B and B2B2C within that.Jason:The first one's pretty obvious from a B2C perspective, if you're a brand and you can see a perfectly complimentary product, why would you want them to leave your platform to buy it from another platform? Why wouldn't you just connect it up to enhance your customer experience?Jason:If you sell shoes for example, I'm going to dumb it down, but if you sold shoes, how could you connect up with a sock company that had the best brand to associate the shoes with socks without actually owning all of those imagery behind it? And we've seen lots of great examples of that. We actually power the Nokia marketplace. If you're thinking of buying the phone, what other connected product and you put in within that connected ecosystem and Google are a partner of Nokia phones globally now, and all of the Google products is going to be available on the Nokia marketplace.Jason:You can start to see this connectivity piece really, really drive home within that. And then from a B2B2C perspective is how do you not cut out your stockists? How do you find a way as a brand or a distributor in a modern world not to cut them out. Whether it's a marketplace, a unified experience, but what our marketplace platform can do is connect it all up. You can cut your retailer into these third party product sales, but without, without actually going against your traditional business model. And we're seeing a fair bit of that momentum behind it as well. Then the growth space and it's going to be really interesting, because I think that the world is saying how, from a B2B perspective, from a traditional brand, when you're selling to retailers when you're consolidating in a B2B industry, how does a marketplace make sense?Jason:There's Alibaba and then there's not much. The interesting play within there is the unfair advantages to businesses is pretty similar then than it is to a B2C perspective. Their unfair advantage is really anchored around their existing stockists or retailer base that they sell into. They've got a great community of sales representatives or sellers on the floor, who are going around and servicing them. How can they then connect up to other suppliers in other industries that could actually self to that community and we make it easier to do that. And there's a really sort of large demand at the moment behind B2B marketplaces as well. It's an interesting thing to call these things marketplaces. They're not all marketplaces, but what we're doing is we're connecting the world to enable supercharged commerce.Stephanie:I love that. I want to hear a little bit about the revenue numbers. When brands embark on this marketplace journey, what are some stories when a new company starts revising your guys' tech?Jason:It's a really interesting story and journey behind it. I'll give you one example during, during COVID, the world's a different place and we all know that, and there's not much point in delving into what's next after COVID. I think everybody's thinking about what's next after COVID but what we fundamentally know today. It's just a different world. It's a different world than it was in the past. And the power of connection during COVID in a digital sense, drove some of the greatest innovation stories that I've seen for some time. And I'll share the story of Providoor. In Australia, this is a case study we rolled out.Jason:It's nearly exactly this week, last year to the day and a great friend of mine, but a celebrity chef Shane Delia. He owns some of the best restaurants in Melbourne and he's got cooking shows on TV and big personality, vibrant, enthusiastic. Had 150 staff behind his restaurant business at four restaurants, one at the airport. The institution restaurants you know, think of Mamasita in New York. These are like famous restaurants within this country. And he emailed me and he just said, "Jason, I'm stuffed. I've got all of these people, I've got food, I'm just throwing into the bin. I've got leases that I've got to pay, but I've got this one glimmer of hope."Jason:"I've just done a trial where yeah, I'm doing ready, sort of made precut food where the customer just has to finish it off at home. So it's like they're getting the magic of a restaurant quality experience in their home."Jason:And he said, "I've done it for a couple of weeks and I'm selling like $5 to 6,000 a day." And I said, "Well, talk me through the problems that you've sold." And he said, "Well we've solved this packaging, we've figured out how to I get it to the customers with the boxes." He did this in a week, like extraordinary innovation. He's, he's sourced the products, the lined boxes, he's got the dry ice, he's fixed the packaging for this. So the tumor is sort of doing, you know, that those types of volumes in a small way. And I said, "How are you delivering them?"Jason:He said, "Well I've got no choice. My chefs are preparing it, My chef's are driving at 35K around Melbourne, to drop it off at people's doorsteps at 4:00 am in the morning." And I said, "Well, you've probably got to solve your logistics problem in a real quick way. But there's something in this, because there's a demand." You're not doing any marketing, your unfair advantage is you're... I call him a B grade celebrity, he probably thinks he's an A grader. But he's got this celebrity audience that he can tap into. He's got trust within the community. The other chefs will trust him. He's never gonna do anything wrong by that industry or community and customers just loved it. If we could solve a couple of problems, i.e, how do we make it easy for all restaurants to sell in the same way and create a marketplace around it.Jason:And then how can we make it easy for people to get the delivery experience behind it? I think you've got the bones of a really good business. Shane's a pretty good hustler. And five weeks later, we'd pulled every string in the world to get Providoor live. Where the best restaurants within the Melbourne CBD was selling to a 35 kilometer radius of the Melbourne CBD, get it delivered in two delivery slots AM and PM. They would cross stock. The trucks would drive around Melbourne pick up every box. Cross stock it into a single parcel. So you would only get a single parcel. You could order from all the restaurants in one. If you were entertaining in your home or just wanted to release from COVID, or you had a birthday party, or mum and dad couldn't get to the restaurant, then you could actually experience it. And after a 12 week period he was on a $100 million rate. Solving those capital problems.Stephanie:And this was from other restaurants as well that he onboarded onto essentially the marketplace that he created. It started with his restaurant. He brought on others as well. What does the cut look like for him versus the restaurants that are also selling on the marketplace that he essentially established?Jason:Yeah, it was again, really interesting. Shane took, I think it was a 15% slice of the pie. So he actually...Stephanie:Who decides, or you decide when you create the marketplace how much you...?Jason:Yeah.Stephanie:Nice, okay.Jason:It's part of the marketplace platform, when you create a marketplace. We solve all of those commission calculations and you choose, as running that marketplace, what each seller gets, and you can change it by product or category. Now you can do really complex commission calculations, but we also manage all of the seller payouts. You imagine that volume in that period of time, if you're cutting checks, so you're doing individual payments it's un-scalable. So that's why he had to... besides the fact that's why you needed a marketplace platform to, to scale at that rate, but it just shows you if you can leverage those couple of unfair advantages and pull it together in a really neat way and solve a problem, how big you can get quickly.Stephanie:That's crazy. It sounds like you kind of want to make sure you have an audience first or partner with someone who does already have, like you said, that tribe, who's kind of waiting that you can tap into that. How do you go about even convincing customers to come and buy on a marketplace? Are you doing anything around exclusivity where it's if you're selling your bikes or your box meals or whatever on Marketplacer, you can't also sell, I don't know, on DoorDash, do you have DoorDash in Australia? Or something similar.Stephanie:How do you think about creating that moat around the market places that are building up?Jason:I think any business, whether it's a marketplace or not a market place, you create moat. And if you could get the number one selling product of the world and get it exclusive to your business, whether you own it and send it yourself, or whether it comes direct from the supplier. I would a hundred percent recommend that every single day of the week.Jason:In Shane's situation and in Providoor's situation he solved some pretty big problems. No one else in the world, in my opinion, in a five week period could have created this marketplace. And then secondly he partnered exclusively with the logistics company that was an under utilized fruit. You imagined it was a fruit delivery business where they were delivering to corporates, their fruit boxes. And they went from a hundred percent capacity to 0% capacity, but then Shane took them back to a hundred percent capacity. So you've got to, you have to find very innovatively, underutilized, cold, refrigerated delivery network in a really short space of time. He created a couple of really, really solid moats that enabled it, nearly impossible for somebody else to do it in that period. But they were just extraordinary. But the short answer to your question, I'd always promote a moat.Stephanie:So try and make things exclusive, if possible. How do you bring... what are some of these brands methods of bringing their customers onto a new platform? Because that does kind of feel like it could be an experience that might cause a bit of friction of like, "Oh, I'm always used to either just buying directly from your website or just buying from Amazon." What kind of tactics should a brand use if they're trying to convince someone to come and buy on a new platform that maybe they haven't heard of before.Jason:You're talking from the end consumer experience when they're buying from you. It's all around trust in the process. It's in that front end customer experience or any communication around it, it's about building trust and rapport around building a marketplace community. And there's many techniques you can use around that.Jason:Some companies choose not to even say who the seller is on the marketplace. They take a really hard supplier agreement and they say, here's your SLA supplies. If you don't supply under these terms and conditions in these ways, then we're going to exclude you from our community, moving forward. Other marketplaces take the opinion of, "I'll let you rate my supply. I'll let you rate your seller." So it's going to be a customer led trust build up around it.Jason:Other marketplaces over time have put their own sort of ratings and experience... the one thing I'll say around the customer journey when you don't physically own the product is you've got to be really clever and your communicative style. The items might not appear in one parcel, items maybe sent at different times. And if you can bring your customer and community along that journey, they're very attuned to it in this world that you don't get one single parcel from one single vendor every single time and boxes can appear on different days, just as long as the communication strategy around when they're turning up. I mean, the timelines as a customer's experience is really well handled. I think it's a problem that's that's well solved in market.Stephanie:Always good to make sure you're doing it in a trustworthy way where your customers are like, of course I'll go where something's being sold and there's good curated products there. What are some best practices around developing that community and keeping your community engaged and making them want to come to your marketplace that you built up. What kind of tactics do you see happening behind the scenes that are working?Jason:We're seeing at a little bit of scale at the moment, the loyalty programs being attached back into the marketplace strategy. And I think it's a space that's going to be really interesting moving forward, whether it's loyalty or membership economies or subscription economies around it, it's something that's definitely an interesting space.Jason:Take Myer's another example within our region, but Myer's a really large department store. It's the Macy's of Australia. It's the number one department store. They've had some really challenging times, pre COVID and obviously during COVID. Big box department stores, lots of inventory, really expensive leases. And they've kind of been kicked off from every corner. Right. But what they did have is they had an incredibly loyal customer base that actually had a brand affiliation with Meyer, but most importantly had a really strong brand affiliation with the Meyer loyalty program, because it was such a good rewards program.Jason:When they launched their marketplace, they actually gave the customer base the same points that they would earn on Meyer across all third party marketplace products. And you could use your points to buy from all of the third party products.Stephanie:That's imposing.Jason:Exactly. And we won a, I can't say who, but we've won a major global airline at the moment where instead of just being able to book airfares using your airline points, now you can buy 40,000 products using your points, promote burn perspective from your airline miles. So I think what you're going to find is this community of traditional loyalty programs or earn and burn points systems, being able to tap into really broaden their range to become really big, meaningful marketplace strategy, loyalty program.Stephanie:That's super smart. The one thing that's coming to mind is thinking about data privacy and how does the sharing work, especially if you're onboarding other brands onto your platform, I'm guessing I would want access to that customer data. I'd want to be able to talk to them, especially if I'm shipping something to them, or even someone's viewing me as a person that's shipping it to them, even if I'm not really in the backend. What does the sharing of the, maybe customer information look like, in a way that's probably protected and keeps everyone safe.Jason:Say for example, we're talking to the commerce cloud community. If you're a commerce cloud customer, you're the merchant of record in that instance, aren't you? You're always controlling the customer record. You're controlling, you're receiving the funds yourself. But you do have to share the customer address and you do have to share some details of that customer because they've got to receive the items. You've really got to make sure your supplier agreements are quite stringent around data privacy. And then within the marketplace platform, there's a couple of configuration points where you can mask email address and not mask email address. So there's configuration around customer privacy settings that gets forwarded through to that end seller within there as well. But what we actually find is that the broader supplier or seller community is unbelievably respectful of the end customer because they're attuned to selling in this methodology now, and they know if they break or breach those privacy laws or those privacy policies that you set up as a marketplace operator, is that they're going to be cut off and, and they're going to lose that whole channel.Jason:We've had basically no problems of that over the journey of Marketplacer. It's something that's a very small, minimal risk.Stephanie:Amazing. Let's talk a little bit about ads. And I'm thinking about you're this big marketplace. Maybe if you're the fishing one, you've got 60,000 products, I could see you guys having an entire ad unit or the person who maybe is owning the marketplace, starting to create a demand side platform when it comes to delivering ads. And how are you guys approaching that right now with all the brands that you're onboarding?Jason:The world of relevant display and sponsored contents and contextual commerce, back in to market places is a real interesting space. Because if you can not only just send your products to a third party marketplace, but then you can buy specific media around it and launch products within it. It's super exciting. We're actually integrated into Google DMP, and all of those great ad serving systems within that. And what you'll find especially as the world moves into a headless commerce situation, is that the brands can put whatever DMP they want into the commerce cloud headless stack. They can be really quite innovative around, not only just creating traditional revenue streams for the product they own. Not only creating modern revenue streams in the fact that they can sell things they don't own, but now they can actually turn their traditional retail businesses into a media business as well, which obviously comes at a much higher gross margin than physically owning the inventory.Stephanie:Any innovative stories that you see happening around the advertising space within Marketplacer? That brands are maybe trying just new and different things because of the operating model of this new business they didn't have access to before?Jason:The obvious one that just comes to mind is actually BikeExchange. BikeExchange does exactly that every single day of the week. It connects live into all of the retailers. As part of the Marketplacer platform... because some of the problem in the marketplace scenario is how do you make it easy for your sellers to connect? How do you make sure that the inventory is accurate and live? How do you make it so that when a retailer of stock list receives the order, that they can just seamlessly process it, without having, necessarily a billion spreadsheets rolling every direction for everything they sell. We sold that in a really nice, elegant way where if you're on... and if you've got an existing POS system, so point of sale system or an existing e-commerce engine, we built pre-built connectors for the majority of them in the world.Jason:If you're a bike seller selling on BikeExchange and you're on Lightspeed and you wanna send your inventory into the BikeExchange marketplace, it takes minutes. What would typically take hours? Why is this important from a media perspective? It's because then the brands on BikeExchange or Specialized or Trek, or any of the big brands when they're launching a new product, they can actually drive the leads into stores that have stock available today. You can get very clever around your display and media allocation and where you drive the sales to. And a physical stockists level within that marketplace strategy, which is pretty cool.Stephanie:That's huge. I think about the times I try and order stuff Home Depot. And it takes me 15 minutes trying to find what store you can go to pick it up. I'm like, why is this so hard? Just don't show it to me if it's not within 20 miles of where I'm at.Jason:Exactly. And that sort of relevance posts, zip code, allocation and inventory allocation is something that comes out of that marketplace assistant, but it's all structured around live connectivity back into the source seller system. Obviously if a seller wants to connect manually and they've got a few products or they've got a CSV uploader, or they've got a great API, but it's this pre-built connector platform that's enabling our marketplace at the scale at a rapid rate.Stephanie:That's awesome, so where do you all want to be in the next two to three years? What are you planning and prepping for and building for right now, other than scaling and IPO'ing and doing all the fun, things like that.Jason:I think what really drives us at Marketplacer is we just want our customers to grow and to grow in a really sustainable way. Where they can, they can enhance their customer experience. So we've really launched hard within the United States today. We've announced that Salesforce ventures has actually bought a stake in Marketplacer and that enables us... yeah, we're so humbled by it. It's such a great experience to deal with that Salesforce community, but what that enables is any commerce cloud customer globally to now really look at Marketplacer as the way to significantly grow your business and grow your customer experience within that.Jason:It gives us deep access to the Salesforce product team. Gives us deep access to the implementation partner community. It gives us deep access to the actual Salesforce customer success team. What that really enables us to do is to help that Salesforce commerce cloud community grow and connect up to all of these great suppliers, make it easy for you to supercharge that business. And it's a core focus of ours over the next sort of 12 to 18 months, for sure.Stephanie:That's awesome. After hearing all this I'm like, why wouldn't you try this out? Why wouldn't you want to be a part of a marketplace, start a marketplace, so many opportunities and easy ways to scale that maybe it would be hard for single brands to do on their own. That's amazing. Congratulations. That's huge.Jason:No thank you so much and it's a big shout out to how the commerce cloud Salesforce, commerce cloud leadership are thinking at the moment. They're really putting that customer lens first and, and you're trying to grab those trends and you build it back within their community as well.Jason:It takes a little while for you to get your head around it. But when you dumb it down, we make it easy for you to sell products that you don't own. So you can supercharge commerce and grow. That sort of one line, and that sentence can start to really resonate with you. And maybe out of today you're not thinking this is my path, but it might just get those thought bubbles going to say, Hey, what about this supplier? What about this supplier? And if I only had those products, I'd love to try that one, but I don't want to buy it. It starts to connect it all up.Stephanie:Really good way to explain it. All right let's jump over to the lightning round. The lightning round is of course, brought to you by our friends at Salesforce commerce cloud, which they got many shout outs well-deserved throughout this interview. So that is great. This is where I'm going to ask you a question and you have a minute or less to answer. Are you ready Jason?Jason:I'm ready.Stephanie:We'll do the hard one first. What, one thing will have the biggest impact on e-commerce in the next year?Jason:I'd like to say the evolution of Marketplacer.Stephanie:That's okay. You do you. You can say whatever you want.Stephanie:What's one thing from 2020 that you hope sticks around throughout 2021?Jason:The ability to put the customer first and solve problems from a customer lens, when there was no other way to do it. And I think that transformative thinking of traditional businesses in that lens is going to put them in a really good light moving forward. We saw the acceleration of five or six years of thinking and thought, and decision-making in the space of six weeks. And just, don't let that go. Don't let that go. Let that stick with you forever. Because I think it's a unique opportunity.Stephanie:What's one thing you don't understand today, that you wish you did?Jason:French. No, I actually don't personally know how to program. I've never been a programmer and it's been to my advantage because I've never got sucked into it, but one day in life, I'd love to actually learn how it all stitches together and works.Stephanie:There you go. Well, that's a good skill to have these days. Let me know if it's hard, I'm guessing it is. If you were to have a podcast, what would it be about and who would your first guest be?Jason:It would probably be about surfing to be honest. And it would have to be Kelly Slater.Stephanie:There you go. That's a good one. And then the last one what's up next on your reading list?Jason:It's actually interesting, because I bought it yesterday. I'm actually reading about gut health at the moment and the benefits of gut health. So I bought the CSIRO gut health book to understand how that can have benefits right throughout your life, from sleeping patterns to energy, to that holistic sort of view that the power of food and what it can do for you or, or can't do for you.Stephanie:Good, you can send me a TLDR of what I should be doing and I'll just listen to you.Jason:It doesn't mean I'm going to do it though Stephanie, this is the problem with reading. You don't always do what you should.Stephanie:We will do it. We will manifest it into our life. We will do it. All right Jason, this interview has been so fun, really a good time hearing about Marketplacer and where you guys are headed. Thank you for coming on, where can people find out more about you and Marketplacer?Jason:Traditional channels marketplacer.com and Jason White on LinkedIn and Marketplacer on LinkedIn.Stephanie:Amazing. Thanks so much.Jason:Thanks so much Stephanie, appreciate your time.

Slow and steady wins every race, and as Dr. Komal Patil explains, it’s about finding that consistency in your routine. When you are working on your health and wellness goals consistently, you make steps towards them every day - even if you don’t devote hours to your end goal.   Hot to Make Time for Self-Care Write down everything you do in a day Identify where you’re wasting your time (looking at you - scrolling on social media for 2 hours!) Replace these time slots with self-care practices and exercise Be consistent in your self-care practices   About Dr. Komal Patil Dr. Patil is a board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist.   The Link Between Stress and Boundaries Dr. Komal Patil knows firsthand what it’s like to not show yourself the love and care we all really need. She was constantly tired, overweight, and not feeling at her best, at all. She wasn’t taking care of herself - and knew it. Komal was under immense amounts of stress, coming at her from all aspects of her life. She didn’t have any boundaries set with her clients and found herself bringing work home with her. The first thing Komal did was set some boundaries, which she found a positive impact on her stress levels. Since the global pandemic, Komal has had to change her approach to health and nutrition. But what didn’t change was her showing up consistently. Developing these habits over time helped Komal maintain at least a little bit of her regular routine, which is absolutely better than nothing.   Carbs, Weight Loss, and Self-Care Komal shares that her diet includes carbohydrates. Carbs are an essential part of a balanced diet, but it’s about finding the right ones. Komal recommends finding natural carbs, such as fruit and vegetables, which won’t spike your blood sugar. We also talk about the link between weight loss and exercise. As someone who’s tried every diet out there, Komal is a firm believer in increasing your activity levels when you’re trying to lose weight. Especially when you focus on strength training. Finally, Komal stresses how important it is to make time for self-care. Self-care is not just soaking in the bath (though that’s great, too!): it’s exercising, sitting quietly, eating well, and spending time with the people you love.   Homework for Women Physicians How do you prioritize self-care?

They may not be 100% perfect all the time, but it’s that consistency: the baseline minimum of a few workouts a week.” [14:20] “Carbs that are from nature and paired properly with fat, fiber, and protein will not cause those blood sugar spikes in the same way as if you’re eating a concentrated amount of carbs.” [20:30] “I think you have to find your baseline activity and then slowly increase your exercise from there. I don’t think exercise is a bad thing. Exercise has been really helpful for me, especially with a focus on strength. I see more of a change than I do with cardio alone.” [28:10] “First, we have to get out of the ‘I don’t have time’ mindset. You do have time. And if you don’t fill your cup first, you can’t fill anybody else’s. We have all of these responsibilities to our partners, family members, children, and work colleagues, to be able to deliver on all of these things. But if you’re not delivering for yourself, it’s not going to work.” [33:09]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care Episode 50: Dr. Lindsey Davis on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Episode 49: Dr. Andrea Strathman On Achieving Sustainable Results

Getting weight loss sleeve surgery is one way to lose weight. It’s usually approached when you’ve exhausted all other methods of weight loss. I’m joined by Dr. Monica Milas to talk about why she elected to have sleeve surgery and what her reality is after the procedure.   Considering Sleeve Surgery? Talk to someone who’s had it done Think about why you want it Consider what your goals are Be ready for what you need to do   About Dr. Monica Milas Dr. Monica Milas is a family medicine doctor. She’s married with four kids between ages 7-15.   Monica works as a hospitalist and is pursuing her passion in her new medical spa business.    Choosing Sleeve Surgery Dr. Monica Milas joins me to talk about her incredible transformation journey where she lost 100 pounds. She describes what it was like following diet and exercise plans and never seeing any results.  It wasn’t until Monica had weight loss sleeve surgery that she finally started losing weight. It might sound like a drastic measure, but honestly, sometimes you need to take these steps.  There are so many problems with the mainstream methods of losing weight. Simple calorie restriction and exercise don’t work for everyone.   The Realities of Sleeve Surgery Monica shares the reality of sleeve surgery. It’s not instantaneous weight loss, but a gradual loss over the first eight months. The hardest part for her is balancing her desire to eat with her stomach’s fullness. She also says that it’s not possible to eat and drink at the same time anymore! But now that Monica has lost over 100 pounds, she is so happy and wishes she’d had the surgery sooner. Her home life is better and now exercise is part of her regular routine. She says that her children get involved with exercise, too. Monica gives some advice on how to break through those frustrating weight loss plateaus. Finally, if you’re considering having sleeve surgery, Monica gives some incredible insight into the questions you should ask.   Homework for Women Physicians Have you thought about getting sleeve surgery? What do you want to know about the procedure - before, during, and after? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  What happens after you have weight loss sleeve surgery [9:00] Some of the problems with mainstream weight loss methods [9:30] The reality of fullness after sleeve surgery [12:30] How losing weight can impact your home life [18:30] How to break through plateaus [21:00]   Quotes “The actual way that society tells us to lose weight, restricting calories and exercising more, completely goes against our biology. The minute we start using weight doing these principles, we start having hormonal changes like low leptin and high ghrelin. The key point to the sleeve surgery is that we can help our brain stay in that normal state without that increased ghrelin levels.” [9:15] “I feel encouraged and inspired because I’ve done well so far. Now that I’m hitting these goals, the next thing I want to work on is toning. There’s a lot of skin, so I have to make a decision with regards to those types of surgeries.” [19:58] “If you’re considering sleeve surgery, talk to someone who’s had it done. I don’t know anybody who’s regretted having it done. Even people who have had complications, they only regret not having had it done earlier because it’s made such an impact in their life.” [23:26]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 49: Dr. Andrea Strathman On Achieving Sustainable Results Episode 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care Episode 48: Dr. Laura Demoya on Discovery Self-Worth

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   TESLA Q1 EARNINGS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW "A look at Tesla's operating metrics and financials shows a growth stock in its purest form. In addition to its skyrocketing vehicle deliveries and revenue, vehicle production, megawatts of solar deployments, and megawatt-hours of energy storage installations all soared 76%, 163%, and 71% year over year, respectively, in Q1. " says Fool.com: "However, if you were to exclude the $299 million stock-based compensation awarded to CEO Elon Musk during the quarter for the achievement of a market capitalization and operational milestone, Tesla would have been profitable even without regulatory credits. Tesla also noted that its Model Y production rate at its factories in Shanghai and California is improving. On a similar note, management said construction of its factories in Berlin and Texas is on track for vehicle production and deliveries from the factories to start late this year."   https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/27/tesla-q1-earnings-what-you-need-to-know/   TESLA TURNS A RECORD PROFIT DESPITE NEW MODEL S/X DELAY "Tesla generated $10.4 billion in sales the first quarter, and recorded a $438 million profit. That’s basically double the revenue it generated in the first quarter of 2020, when Tesla had to temporarily shut down its factory in China due to the earliest outbreaks of the coronavirus. It’s also the most profit Tesla’s ever made in a quarter." says The Verge: "This is the seventh quarter in a row that Tesla has turned a profit, though the company was once again buoyed by selling emissions credits to other automakers. Tesla said Monday that it sold a record $518 million worth of regulatory credits, meaning that it would’ve finished the quarter in the red without them."   https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/26/22404198/tesla-q1-results-earnings-profit-model-s-x-y-3-bitcoin-delay   DELIVERIES OF THE NEW MODEL S SHOULD START VERY SHORTLY " Tesla wrote in its Q1 2021 report that the new Model S is coming "very shortly." Production of both the Model S and Model X was stopped for a couple of months (none were made in Q1) due to a major refresh. The company was expected to already produce and deliver the new Model S, but some undisclosed challenges affected the launch. From the brief info we can expect that we are now perhaps just weeks from the first customer deliveries" reports InsideEVs: "The Model S/X launch delay was not explained in details, but it seems that the upgrade was more challenging than expected, at least partially related to the "the ongoing global supply shortage. One of the most interesting notes was that the new Model S and Model X - according to Musk (via Teslarati), "are actually cheaper to produce." That's would be a major boost to margins as the prices of the top Model S/X Plaid are much higher than before."   https://insideevs.com/news/503704/tesla-models-deliveries-start-shortly/     TESLA STAYS QUIET ON SEMI PROGRESS "The company provided no updates on the long-delayed Semi tractor, saying only it is “in the background.”  It is also looking for help from suppliers that make battery cells as it works on its own advanced 4680 cell whose energy density is expected to increase driving range between charging. Full production of the advanced cells are 12-18 months away, CEO Elon Musk said" says Freight Waves: "The Austin Gigafactory is expected to eventually produce the Semi. Tesla has hundreds of orders for the truck, first shown as a prototype in 2017. It was originally slated for production in 2019, but that date has slipped several times. Media reports suggest the company could build a small number of Semi models at the Tesla gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada, to fulfill an order for Pepsi Co.’s Frito-Lay distribution center in Northern California. Frito-Lay said as much in a recent sustainability report touting its environmental gains.|"   Elon: “This is not being done to the exclusion of suppliers. It is done in conjunction with suppliers. We have good relationships with CATL, Panasonic and LG,” he said on an earnings call Monday evening. “Supply us with as much as you possibly can. Provided the price is affordable, we will buy everything you can make.”   https://www.freightwaves.com/news/tesla-mum-on-semi-progress-as-it-posts-record-income   TESLA SOLD BITCOIN IN Q1 FOR PROCEEDS OF $272M "Tesla sold some of its bitcoin stash in the first quarter for $272 million in proceeds. The sale trimmed Tesla’s position by 10%, Tesla CFO Zach Kirkhorn said on an earnings call Monday." says Yahoo! Finance: "Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin in February. Kirkhorn said on the call that Tesla invested in bitcoin to earn yield on its excess cash in a low-interest-rate environment. While the company continues to deal with global supply chain crunches like semiconductor shortages or ship port capacity, he said the bitcoin market is a liquid market with an optimistic future."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-sold-bitcoin-q1-proceeds-202359810.html   Tesla Model 3 becomes best-selling premium sedan in the world - kinda From the sharehlder letter: "About three and a half years into its production, and even without a European factory, Model 3 was the best-selling premium sedan in the world, outselling long-time industry leaders such as the 3 Series and E Class. This demonstrates that an electric vehicle can be a category leader and outsell its gas-powered counterparts. We believe Model Y can become not just a category leader, but also the best-selling vehicle of any kind globally."   Mercededs C Class? Audi A4?   From 180k cars, looks like 120k is 3 so that's 60k for Y.   TESLA'S FULL SELF-DRIVING SUBSCRIPTION IS COMING SOON "Kirkhorn confirmed this during Tesla's Q1 2021 earnings call Monday, saying the company was waiting on just a couple of internal technical issues but that the feature should be launched very soon. Beyond that, he said that a subscription model for FSD would likely offer a great deal of recurring revenue potential, which seems likely." says CNET: "Of course, we don't know what Tesla would charge on a per month basis for the service, but we'd hazard a guess that it would likely represent a substantial chunk of an average buyer's monthly car payment"   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-full-self-driving-subscription-service-coming-soon/   ELON MUSK SAYS: "INSANE DIFFICULTIES" FOR TESLA "Elon Musk told investors during the Tesla's quarterly earnings call that the automaker has been forced to reckon with numerous supply chain issues in 2021. Musk said the company has had "insane difficulties" with its supply chain over the last quarter.  "We've had some of the most difficult supply-chain challenges that we've ever experienced in the life of Tesla," he said on Monday." according to Business Insider: "In February, Tesla briefly halted production on its Model 3 at its car assembly plant in California, citing supply-chain issues caused by backlogs at ports and severe snowstorms slowing down ground deliveries.  The global semiconductor shortage has wreaked havoc on tech and automotive companies. "   https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-supply-chain-issues-chip-shortage-insane-difficulties-2021-4?r=US&IR=T   ELON MUSK'S BEST QUOTES   "More likely than not, Model Y will be the best-selling car or truck of any kind in the world in 2022."   "Long term, people will think of Tesla as much as an AI robotics company as we are a car company, or an energy company."   On solar & storage: ""Why don't we do it? The energy basis of the earth is gigantic, super-mega-insanely gigantic. So you can't just go and do 1 zillion terawatts overnight. You've got to build the production capacity for the battery cells, for the solar cells. You've got to put that into vehicles. You've got to put that into storage packs. You've got to put that into solar panels and Solarglass Roofs, and you've got to deploy all this stuff.""   ""Prototypes are trivial, they're child's play. Production at large scale with higher liability and low cost - insanely difficult. Myself and many others at Tesla had to basically have several aneurysms to get this done.""   "We're talking millions of cars, a massive global supply chain, 50 countries, dozens of regulatory regimes.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Moshe Amsel discuss:Making your business successful by putting profit first.Solving the problems, not hiding behind an excuse or playing the blame game.Setting your intentions for success. Hiring to make room for new business and provide the best customer experience.  Key Takeaways:There is an opportunity cost to every problem that is not solved. Once the money is lost, it will never be brought back. Do everything you do with intention. Understand what you want, have a plan to get there, and go after that with intention in all your actions. Solo doesn’t mean you can’t get more help. You can have a solo law firm and still bring in other people to help. Intention - it’s one word, but it is everything. "What I have found is that lawyers are scared of the numbers. And that fear, which is completely irrational, is actually what keeps them from fixing the issue." —  Moshe Amsel Connect with Moshe Amsel:  Website: ProfitWithLaw.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mosheamselTwitter: twitter.com/moshe_amselShow: Profit With Law Podcast - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/profit-with-law-profitable-law-firm-growth/id1457441443 References:Profit First by Mike Michalowicz: mikemichalowicz.com/profit-first/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Accountability, small goals, and thought work are the keys to long-term success. It all starts with the thought piece. Dr. Harita Raja joins me to talk about her mind-body transformation and how life opened up for her in the last year.   Key Takeaways Putting yourself first is not selfish. Setting realistic expectations and goals is the key to sustainable results. Finding an accountability group can dramatically increase your chances of success.   About Dr. Harita Raja Harita Raja, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in women's mental health.  Dr. Raja founded Bethesda Women's Mental Health to provide women with a place to obtain compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatric care. She works closely with her patients, their loved ones, and their providers to find the best treatment plan.  Dr. Raja received her medical degree from Albany Medical College in Albany, NY. She completed her psychiatry residency at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital, in Washington, DC.  Dr. Raja has published numerous articles and a book chapter about women’s mental health.  She has also presented her work at various local and national psychiatric meetings.  She is a member of the D.C. Women’s Mental Health Consortium.  Dr. Raja is dedicated to educating women and the community about women's mental health and the options for treatment using a holistic perspective.   Get a Life Coach who Gets It Dr. Harita Raja shares how she spends her days helping women as a psychologist, but she neglected her own health and well-being. It was only at the start of lockdown that she realized she had to make substantial changes to her own health. One of the biggest factors Harita took into consideration when looking for a life coach was someone who would understand her lifestyle. That sense of understanding is especially important for physicians, as we have such a demanding life, combined with a tendency to be high-functioning. The first area we started looking at was Harita’s thoughts. Your thought model has a dramatic impact on every aspect of your health. That’s why it’s essential to get your thoughts on track before considering any physical transformation.   Group Coaching and Accountability is Key In fact, for Harita, it was about four months of thought work before we started working on her physical transformation by adding strength training.  Being in a group setting helped Harita with this transition as well. That safety zone where we could share our vulnerabilities honestly is such an essential part of a healthy relationship with yourself. Harita explains why setting realistic goals and expectations is so vital to any kind of health transformation. Setting these smaller goals makes your bigger transformations much more possible, as you get excited about the smaller successes you’re making.   Homework for Women Physicians Are you hesitant to make any kind of health transformation?

But I couldn’t do that until then.” [13:09] “It’s finding that confidence in us first because that’s where it starts. It’s all in our thoughts.

In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to Gary Bonner, Executive Director at the Baltimore PC’s for People. Gary speaks on the importance of digital literacy and how PCs for People, a social enterprise, provides low-cost devices to those who may not have them readily available. He also touches on how his parents shaped his world view, and how this was the catalyst of Gary’s life of helping others. QUOTES “During my time I was [in the military], I really began to feel my heartstrings tug at me more towards an occupation that allows me to help people on a much, much larger scale. Particularly the people who were like the kids that I went to school with.” - Gary Bonner [05:13]  “The real issue with digital literacy is: There is no greater barrier to economic mobility than the inability to compete in a digital world. ” - Gary Bonner [28:37] “You have a voice, you have a story you want to tell, do you want to blog, do you want to compose music? You know, these are all things that you can do through your device. And don’t look at it as something you’re just going to write letters on and do homework on.” - Gary Bonner [38:12]  TIMESTAMPS [00:04] Intro [01:32] Meet Gary Bonner [02:47] Air Force [06:11] World View and Family [10:05] Ins and Outs PCs for People [15:44] Apple Devices [16:42] Social Enterprise [18:18] Techs and Warehouse Workers [21:45] Safety Processes [23:20] Starting a Nonprofit During a Pandemic [24:52] Leaving Healthcare to Start Nonprofit [25:40] Solving the Problem [30:46] Success Stories [33:36] Wrap-Up Questions [40:25] Outro RESOURCES https://www.utexas.edu/ (The University of Texas at Austin) https://www.goarmy.com/rotc.html (ROTC) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/?ql=1&spl=1 (Microsoft) https://www.whiting-turner.com/ (Whiting-Turner) https://www.amazon.com/Capital-Twenty-First-Century-Thomas-Piketty/dp/0674979850 (Capital in the Twenty-First Century) by Thomas Piketty   RELEVANT LINKS https://www.linkedin.com/in/garyabonner/ (Gary Bonner on LinkedIn) https://www.pcsforpeople.org/ (PCs for People) https://www.pcsforpeople.org/maryland/ (Contact Information for Maryland’s PCs for People) Gary’s Email

having a great partner, someone who is very system oriented. I think a big thing for us is that as long as we're communicating both of what we see individually, cause our skill sets are totally different. these realizations came out and maybe like some psychedelics and things were involved at some points and we had realizations along the way, but it's been a slow journey to get to where we're really good at communicating with each other. we've always been together as business partners sometimes, but always supporters. I feel like we were always getting our back no matter what. We've always been able to bounce feedback back and forth to each other. we do share a vision, like there's this overlap of where we are going, but we, with healthy understanding of ourselves and how we actually combine how we talk with each other, what we're working on, how we're working, why we're doing things that was like a total burst of clarity for us.And then it was just communicating with each other and figuring out how to make this thing work. one of the things that I realized this was through just like the use of social media and stuff is when I would post stuff to Facebook. I used to just only share the wins. I would talk about Hey look, how many downloads we got on our show? Look how big this launched it for us. Look how much money we made. I would just share off all the, share, all the wins and stuff. And, you'd get people that are like, eh, congrats  and, you get the likes on it and stuff. But where I really got high engagement on social media was when I shared the struggles, right? Like there, there was one time where Joe and I were actually at a networking event and I, I'm a fairly introverted person and I struggled with social anxiety when there's a lot of people around.And I actually fainted in the middle of a networking event. I was just walking. I wasn't drinking. I just had a water in my hand and I just collapsed and fainted because the anxiety got the best of me. And I shared that story on Facebook and it's the most liked commented on the most support messages I ever received through PMs. And I feel like sharing this sort of like authentic truth that really happened to me was this catalyst for people wanting to reach out and support. And it was in maybe, that was a big pivotal moment for me, but it was in moments like that where I realized like, why am I only sharing this stuff? People need to see the bad, just as much as they need to see the good people need to see look like, we might on the podcast at times have this persona that we've got shit figured out. I think the reason people really follow us and gravitate to our podcasts now is to listen to it, realize these guys don't have their shit figured out.Matt and I were creating like 30 something pages, every single month of unique content in this thing. And we scaled it to a point where it was doing well. It's about a hundred dollars a month is what we were charging at the peak. And we just had a problem scaling it. And we just there's something in us. Matt has created a ton of online products and we're just like, We want to open up the flood Gates and get this content that we think is really good and helpful because we hear the feedback from folks, but we want to give it to more people and spread it to the world and not have it behind a paywall. So that's where, Matt was already doing the podcast. We're already doing affiliate marketing stuff. So we figured let's do the hustle podcast. We called it hustle and flow chart and we realized, okay, we have a really cool network. We're really connected. A lot of the people that I was clients with where some of our preliminary, our first guests. It started with that motivation is to give more than we ever have before. And trust that through the giving, we're going to create enough awareness branding and community around us, a connection relationships to these folks that are actually going to stick with us and listen to us and we'll see where it goes from there.  Let's leverage this podcast as a way to get free consulting out of all the people that we think are really smart. So we just started chasing up people that have the solutions to problems we had in our business when we were trying to figure out Facebook ads and really go deep on that we had, five or six different Facebook ad experts on over the course of a couple of months when we were trying to figure out how to get better copy on our website. We interviewed a bunch of copywriters all in the same month and we were just totally. Looking to bring on people that could give us information that would support our business with the realization that if it helped us, it would help anybody who's tuning into the podcast as well. And during that phase where we just kinda got selfish and we just went, let's just solve the problems that we have in our own business and let other people listening to people, giving us that advice. That was probably the largest stretch of growth we've ever had in our podcast. That was the time when our podcast just grew by leaps and bounds, and people started talking about it. People started sharing it. And that was probably also the evolution where we started to realize.It started to feel very monotonous. So we added like a new filter into the podcast and went, if we're not having fun, we need to start wrangling this and redirecting what we're doing with the podcast. And so now one of our biggest filters is, how do we make sure that these episodes are going to be a blast for us? So we are pumped to go and record them because we're big proponents of the idea of it. There's no specific destination that we're shooting for. We want to have fun on this ride where it ends up that's, wherever it ends up, I'm sure we're going to be happy with the destination, but it's more important that we enjoy this journey right now because who knows. We may not ever make it to a destination. So that's been the big focus now is. Hey, still being selfish and solving problems that we have in our own business and solving problems. We know that our customers and our listeners have brought up to us. Solving problems on their behalf as well, but also just making sure it's always a blast.I had this realization where the weight of the world isn't on your shoulders.In fact, the entire world is all in this together. We're all one big soul that's all together. And I know this is going to sound real. Woo. But that's please do we're all in this just giant soup together. And we're all just like this one being, and the only thing that's different is we each have these individual sort of souls that kind of think independently, but I realized that we're all this sort of attached single.Think about a computer and a computer might have multiple processors. It's all part of the same computer, but the processes are all processing different information and then feeding it back to, the hard driver, whatever. And I felt like the world and the human race were this like giant computer and everybody was its own like sort of CPU providing data to the bigger computer, if that makes sense. And that realization. Brought me to this conclusion that, Oh shit, we are all in this together. There's nothing that's really on my shoulders. And that experience opened me up to actually have relationships with a lot of other people. It wasn't from that moment. It wasn't until that moment that I started getting like really comfortable opening up to other people and having a really sort of vulnerable conversations with people that maybe this is the first time I ever met him. I, that would have never ever happened with me before that experience. But that experience and realizing that. Like shit, we're all just part of the same machine. And I'm just like a little teeny piece in this machine. That realization was actually this massive weight lifted off my shoulders. And when that realization came across my brain, I just broke down and I cried for two hours and I was just bawling and just all emotions. We're dealt a set of cards. Your cards were, hold it together. A way to the world everybody's successful live to meet it. Mine was, everybody was a shit show and I have to hold it together, but we ended up with the same belief about ourselves. Then we have to hold it together. We can't show emotion. We have to be strong. If it's going to get done, it's up to us.what's really happening is when we choose this path of like self-awareness and growth, what we're choosing is to rediscover our ability to express emotion and the depression, the anxiety, the Dow, and all the stuff that came up was basically just from the suppression of what was happening on the inside. It's like we have a gasket exploding and we're pushing it down. Do I feel like shit? It's like the check engine lights screaming, and we're like ignore. And then we get pissed off when the engine block explodes. we are all out of integrity with something, all of us. And there is no such thing as perfect integrity. There's the pursuit of integrity. And the pursuit of integrity is what gives meaning to our life. Your life and meaning, and presence is the value that you bring to this world is your pursuit of this integrity over and over.So I practice and I challenge all and have to go sit for one hour with nothing. You have to practice boredom, notebook, no music, no TV. You have to go somewhere alone and you have to watch your thoughts. You can't try to remember anything you can't leave. And 20 minutes later take notes. You actually just have to be a witness to yourself. You can watch a river, you can watch a bird, but you just have to observe for an hour. And I have never seen so many people. What can I do this? What about this? Can I bow? I was like, this is hilarious. It was this massive amount of resistance because it's a forced break pedal. And in that gap, in that space is where our clarity comes. Either our clarity that this is working, this is our next idea. Or this is not working, which for me always brought up it's not working cause I'm bad or wrong. And it's no, it's not working. Cause I'm not taking the time to reflect, to figure out what did work, what didn't work and trust myself and intuition to choose what moves next

We all know that you can’t pour from an empty cup. It’s especially true for physicians who spend their days healing others. Dr. Stephanie Byerly joins me to speak about her own experience with burnout and how she adopted self-care practices to heal herself.   How to Avoid Burnout as a Woman Physician Create Self Care Routines Find a Community of Other Women Educate Yourself About the Culture of Medicine Find Cognitive Psychology-Based Coaching   About Stephanie I Byerly, MD Dr. Stephanie Byerly is a Professor of Anesthesiology and a Director of a High-Risk Obstetrical Unit, a Gender Equity Expert, a Certified Mind-Body Medicine Coach, a Physician Wellness Expert, The Chair, of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Women Anesthesiologists, and a Certified Life and Weight Loss Coach.   Chaos and drama described Stephanie’s life until about 10 years ago.  She came from a very dysfunctional childhood with a mother with severe mental illness and experienced several types of abuse and trauma.  Stephanie was also an ill child growing up and spent some time in the hospital, but from 3 years old, spoke of becoming a doctor.   Stephanie always had this image of what she wanted her life to be and look like to the outside world.  She had a vision that becoming a physician which would render her immune to the struggles of life and allow her to fix everything and make a difference in this world.   After graduating from her physician training, Stephanie married a physician, had two beautiful daughters, a beautiful house, cars, and a great job but still was not happy. She never would have imagined that some of the most challenging and defining times were ahead.   After getting divorced and becoming a single parent, the sole breadwinner, and being a full-time physician, Stephanie began her personal growth journey.  She was balancing being a parent who was not going to allow their children to face any of the challenges she faced growing up while being a full-time physician with many administrative roles and aspirations for a successful productive academic career.   Stephanie wanted to understand why everything seemed to just happen to her, why she was not happy, and always felt like the victim. She wanted to understand why being a woman in medicine brought another slew of challenges and obstacles that were unfair.  Then the burnout came, twice, and her biggest fear was not being able to support her two daughters. Stephanie’s biggest fear was becoming like her mother and knew something had to change. She found a way out of the burnout and understood she had a lot more work to do to find the peace, joy, and happiness she wanted in her life.  Going through Life Coach Training has changed Stephanie’s life in unbelievable ways and provided her with the tools to impact the lives of women physicians by showing them a way out of “survival mode” to a life of personal fulfillment, joy, happiness, and realizing they are “enough just the way they are.” Stephanie started her Life Coaching Business, Healing Through Life Coaching. She helps women physicians who are exhausted, overextended, and feel like they are failing at everything take back their power to have joy in their personal and professional lives.   Burnout and Victim Mentality Dr. Stephanie Byerly speaks about her own experience with burnout. Physicians do experience burnout at a fairly high rate, but why is that? For Stephanie, hers came not just from the stress and pressure of being a woman physician and single mother, but also from falling into a space of victim mentality. It’s understandable when you feel like the world is constantly pressuring you, to adopt a victim mentality. But it’s not sustainable. Stephanie shares the steps she took to break free of this way of thinking once she recognized it for what it is. Stephanie took some big steps after recognizing the position she was in. The biggest takeaway here is self-care. Taking the time to prioritize your own health and wellbeing is the key to avoiding burnout - and healing from it.   The Importance of Feeling Your Feelings Stephanie also explains the importance of feeling your feelings. Instead of avoiding them or bottling them up, actually sitting and recognizing them for what they are is a life changer. She shares how this process allowed her brain to realize that feeling even the most negative feelings isn’t the worst thing she can do - she will be just fine.  This realization allowed her to escape that automatic protection mode and move on to focusing on better thoughts. Stephanie explains how life coaching helped her change her thought model. She also shares what role fear has in her life and how she’s now able to move past the feelings of fear. Finally, Stephanie shares some of her own self-care practices. Gratitude is one of the biggest practices you can adopt, along with regular exercise, getting outside and journaling.   Homework for Women Physicians What self-care practices do you regularly engage in? If you don’t currently have any, what practices will you start to bring into your routine? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  How to recognize when you have a victim mentality [7:00] What the next steps after realizing you’re burned out are [11:30] Why you should sit with all of your feelings [13:15] What role fear has in your life [17:00] What self-care practices will sustain you through medicine [19:45]   Quotes “We have these 40,000 - 60,000 thoughts a day, half negative, half positive, and we don’t even know about 95% of them. Our primitive brain wants us to go towards the negative all the time. Once we realize that that’s what our brain automatically does to protect ourselves, we can start looking at our thoughts and changing those, and our outcomes, and living intentionally. It is so transformational.” [9:02] “I let myself feel the feelings and they go away. That was the most liberating thing for me to realize that I can feel the feelings and that I’m going to be just fine. It allows your brain to have different thoughts because you’re not going into automatic protection mode and shutting everything down.” [14:36] “We’re in this culture where we’re facing so many dilemmas we had no idea we were going to face. We face all of this, on top of everything that all physicians face, and it’s overwhelming.” [21:20]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Join the Transform Waitlist  Find Dr. Stephanie Byerly Online Follow Dr. Stephanie Byerly on Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 48: Dr. Laura Demoya on Discovery Self-Worth Episode 27: “I Can’t Be Happy Unless I Leave Clinical Medicine” Episode 42: Dr. Mona Singh: A Journey To Optimal Health

My guest today is Tony Xu, co-founder, and CEO of DoorDash. Tony started DoorDash 7.5 years ago, and today it is one of the largest food delivery and logistics platforms globally, with operations in the US, Canada, Australia. In our conversation, we discuss the initial problem that DoorDash set out to solve, DoorDash’s counterintuitive approach to building their product, and the surprising benefits of capital constraints in DoorDash’s early days. DoorDash’s business model is an equal parts logistics nightmare and a human coordination problem, or as Tony puts it, a human and math problem. After talking to Tony, I feel his personality makes him a great candidate to solve those problems.   For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page here. ----- This episode is brought to you by Vanta.
