Enroll in Thrive Online to grow your heart centered online business at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveBook A 1-1 Reading at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingEverything in Vedic Astrology starts with one thing: your birth information—the time, date, and place of your birth. That's how your natal chart is cast. It tells you about the karmas playing out throughout your life. But that's not the end of the story.Every year on your birthday, the sky realigns in a special way, giving you a new chart for that year, called the Varshphal chart (also known as the solar return or annual chart). This episode is a deep dive into the five major things you want to look at in your annual chart to understand the themes and energies you're working with for your personal new year. Whether you're getting a reading from me or anyone else, these five insights will help you understand the year ahead much more clearly.Here's what I cover in this episode:The Annual Chart (Varshphal)A snapshot of the sky at the exact date and time of your birth—but this year. The Ascendant sets the tone. The Muntha PointMy favorite part of the annual chart. It moves one sign every year from your birth, and acts like an ascendant for the year. If it's in Cancer? Focus on family, compassion, and emotional depth. If it's in Aries? New beginnings and fire energy. Where it lands by sign, house, and nakshatra sets your theme for the year.Planetary ReturnsMost people know about the Saturn return (hello, 30s), but did you know every planet has returns? Jupiter returns every 12 years, Rahu/Ketu every 18, Saturn every ~30. These are moments where the lessons of that planet crystallize—where you review what you've learned and see what's next.TransitsTransits shape what's happening for everyone, but your rising sign and chart will tell you how it plays out for you. Virgo risings right now? You've got five planets transiting your 7th house—major karma coming through in your relationships this year. Transits are crucial for timing and clarity.The DashaYour dasha is your chapter of life. Are you in a Rahu dasha? Expect passion, drive, even obsession. Venus dasha? It might be time for love, beauty, or kids. Ketu dasha? A spiritual deep dive. I give a quick breakdown of each one and how to start interpreting them in your own chart.If you've already had a birth chart reading, this is the next step. These insights are perfect for timing life changes, choosing what to focus on this year, and better understanding the why behind what's unfolding in your life.Thrive Online 2025: Grow your heart centered business doing work you love online: ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveBook a 1-1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading⁠Free Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentorship Waitlist:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

If want to grow your heart-centered online business in sync with your unique gifts and vedic astrology, enrollment is now open for Thrive Online 2025 at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveIt's officially the end of the eclipse portal. On Saturday, April 12th, we have a powerful Full Moon in Chitra Nakshatra, in the sign of Virgo — marking the celebration, the culmination, and the completion of everything you've been moving through over the past six weeks. The following day, Sunday, April 13th, is massive: Venus goes direct after her long retrograde journey that began March 2nd, and the Sun moves into Aries, beginning a fresh new solar cycle.This is a big week. And then, blessedly, we get a reprieve — a chance to rest, integrate, and begin anew. In this episode, I unpack how to work with the closing of the eclipse portal and Venus retrograde, while stepping into the bold, action-oriented Aries energy that defines the second half of April.Chitra Nakshatra's ruler is Vishvakarma — the celestial architect of the universe — and this Full Moon is about recognizing what you have built. Your ideas. Your creations. Your healing. This is Mars energy in its constructive, creative form. This isn't the time for conflict or confrontation — especially not on the 12th — but it is the time to perform, to lead, to build, to take care of your body, your home, your self-expression.Venus moves direct this week so I break down the 3-phase journey of Venus retrograde taht began in January:Phase 1 (Jan 27–Mar 2) – Surrender: Heightened romance, longing, idealism, but with potential illusions.Phase 2 (Mar 2–Apr 13) – See Clearly: Truth-telling, pattern recognition, karmic reckonings.Phase 3 (Apr 13–May 31) – Step Forward: Integration, recalibration, moving toward soul-aligned love and purpose.I share personal reflections of how this has shown up in my own life and invite you to explore what has been stirred in yours. You might still feel unclear, foggy, emotional — that's okay. It doesn't all need to make sense. This is a deeply spiritual time. Allow what's been hidden to come to the light.Then, as the Sun enters Aries — exalted, empowered — we step into initiation energy. This is your inner CEO, your builder, your independent, courageous self. Want to start a business? Launch a new project? Change your routine? From now through October is a golden time for aligned action.You don't have to overthink it. Just start. Start simple. Let your alignment guide your action, and your actions lead to achievement.5 Key Quotes from the Episode“This Full Moon in Chitra is the culmination of your becoming — a celebration of your creative power.”“Venus retrograde isn't about regret. It's about reflection, realignment, and realizing what truly matters.”“You've gone through a six-week portal — you're not the same person who started this journey.”“Sun in Aries is your green light — start now, keep it simple, and take action from alignment.”“Let go of what needs to go, so life can rush in to fill that space with something beautiful.”Free Workshop: Thrive Online 2025: ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveworkshopThrive Onilne 2025 ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive offers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentorship Waitlist:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

RSVP for Free to Thrive Online to grow your heart-centered online business at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveonlineApril 2025 is a major turning point in the year—and in this episode, I walk you through why.We're coming out of the deep, emotional work of March and the eclipse portal, and slowly entering a new cycle of clarity, direction, and heart-centered action. This month is all about Aries energy: alignment, action, activation, ambition, achievement. I call them the “A-words” of April, and they'll help guide you to align your goals with what you truly care about and act from your heart. In the first half of the month, we're still wrapping up Mercury and Venus retrogrades while moving through the tail end of eclipse season. That means it's still time to reflect, resolve old relationship patterns, and reconnect with your vision. By mid-April, everything shifts.- April 7th: Mercury goes direct in Pisces—the same day I'm hosting my free Thrive Online workshop. I chose that day intentionally. It's about taking those big dreamy visions and turning them into something you can share with others. RSVP for free: quietmindastrology.com/thriveonline- April 13th: Venus goes direct in Pisces and the Sun moves into Aries, officially kicking off the astrological new year with new momentum.- April 27th: A New Moon in Aries (Bharani Nakshatra) sets the stage for birthing ideas, creation, and taking bold steps aligned with your dharma.But here's the thing: Mars is in Cancer all month, which softens the Aries fire and reminds us to act from the heart. If you're doing something just for the money or because someone else told you to, it's going to be a slog. But if your heart is in it, if it really matters to you—you'll find superhuman strength.This episode covers:- What Mercury and Venus retrogrades have been teaching us- How to align your ambition with emotional truth (Mars in Cancer)- Why April 13 starts a powerful new phase of 2025 - The power of the New Moon in Bharani for birthing something new- My personal reflections on Venus Retrograde in my 7th house- How dreamwork and emotional processing can reveal your path✨ Quote Highlights:“April is Aries energy—activation, ambition, achievement.”“If your heart's not in it, it's going to be hard to take action.”“Not analyzing a dream is like receiving a letter from your subconscious and not opening it.”“Bharani energy is transformational—it's about what you want to birth into the world.”“Your business grows when you grow.”If you've been feeling stuck, emotional, or unsure of your direction, this episode will help you reconnect to your clarity and tap into the momentum of mid-April and beyond. We're in a new phase now. The eclipse portal is closing. Venus and Mercury are going direct. The Sun is moving into Aries. It's time to move forward with confidence and heart.If you want to go deeper into your dharma - one of the 4 aims of life - join me at the free live workshop: Thrive Online at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveonline–Free Workshop: Thrive Online: ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/thriveonlineFree Weekly Horoscopes & Exclusive Offers: ⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⁠Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training: ⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⁠Instagram: ⁠http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⁠YouTube: ⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtube⁠Mentorship Waitlist: ⁠http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠Yoga Teacher Training Podcast: ⁠https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertraining⁠Quietmind Yoga: ⁠https://www.quietmind.yoga⁠

This Mercury retrograde in Uttara Bhadrapada in Pisces, is not just about tech glitches or miscommunication—this is a deep clearing and transformation process.

Expect details on how to join the call by Friday.About This EpisodeWe live in a time defined by the agency of what author, critic, and teacher Howard Rheingold famously described as “tools for thought” — media that expand our minds and enhance our ability to learn and collaborate, both for good and ill. But just because we're on the Web doesn't make us “net smart”, another term from Rheingold's extensive catalogue of pithy idioms. As anyone with a pocket supercomputer can attest, having information on tap doesn't necessarily result in better attention management, boost our critical thinking, or confer a greater capacity to engage in prosocial collective action…but we can choose to allocate ourselves to developing the skills we need to thrive on this electronic frontier. And who better to help us than Rheingold himself, a legendary figure whose reporting and counsel from the frothy edge can teach us all great volumes about how to deepen our humanity in technologically-augmented worlds.Disclaimer: the audio and video on Howard's end of the recording drifted unevenly and sometimes minutes away from each other…and while I put in several extra days of effort to repair it all, you will notice moments where they don't line up.

Like it or not, knowing how to make use of online tools without being overloaded with too much information is an essential ingredient to personal success in the twenty-first century. But how can we use digital media so that they make us empowered participants rather than passive receivers, grounded, well-rounded people rather than multitasking basket cases? In Net Smart, cyberculture expert Howard Rheingold shows us how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and, above all, mindfully. Mindful use of digital media means thinking about what we are doing, cultivating an ongoing inner inquiry into how we want to spend our time. Rheingold outlines five fundamental digital literacies, online skills that will help us do this: attention, participation, collaboration, critical consumption of information (or "crap detection"), and network smarts. He explains how attention works, and how we can use our attention to focus on the tiny relevant portion of the incoming tsunami of information. He describes the quality of participation that empowers the best of the bloggers, netizens, tweeters, and other online community participants; he examines how successful online collaborative enterprises contribute new knowledge to the world in new ways; and he teaches us a lesson on networks and network building. Rheingold points out that there is a bigger social issue at work in digital literacy, one that goes beyond personal empowerment. If we combine our individual efforts wisely, it could produce a more thoughtful society: countless small acts like publishing a Web page or sharing a link could add up to a public good that enriches everybody. Howard Rheingold, an influential writer and thinker on social media, is the author ofTools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology, The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier (both published by the MIT Press), and Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution.

Rheingold points out that there is a bigger social issue at work in digital literacy, one that goes beyond personal empowerment. If we combine our individual efforts wisely, it could produce a more thoughtful society: countless small acts like publishing a Web page or sharing a link could add up to a public good that enriches everybody. Howard Rheingold, an influential writer and thinker on social media, is the author ofTools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology, The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier (both published by the MIT Press), and Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario Premier Doug Ford is vowing to move up to 50% of surgical procedures out of hospitals and into private, for-profit health facilities permanently. Asked specifically which procedures he is looking to move to private health facilities, 97% of which are for-profit facilities, Ford offered a list of surgeries that he described as not “serious” – including procedures provided by Ford's political donors who also lobbied the Premier's Office for this change. Will Premier Ford's health care plan help or hurt health care in Ontario? GUEST: Dr. James Tiessen, Director of Health Administration & Community Care and Associate Professor with Toronto Metropolitan University - Ottawa on Monday approved an environmental assessment for a lithium mine project in Quebec that will produce 5,480 tonnes of ore per day once completed amid a growing global push to secure supplies of critical minerals. The James Bay Lithium Mine Project, which is located about 100 kilometres east of James Bay in the Eastmain Cree Community in Quebec, will produce lithium — a key ingredient in clean technology like electric vehicle batteries and solar panels, the government said Monday. GUEST: Moshe Lander, Senior Economics Lecturer with Concordia University - When some of the world's wealthiest and most influential figures gathered at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting last year, sessions on climate change drew high-level discussions on topics such as carbon financing and sustainable food systems. But an entirely different narrative played out on the internet, where social media users claimed leaders wanted to force the population to eat insects instead of meat in the name of saving the environment. The annual event in the Swiss ski resort town of Davos, which opens Monday, has increasingly become a target of bizarre claims from a growing chorus of commentators who believe the forum involves a group of elites manipulating global events for their own benefit. GUEST: Marcus Kolga, Director of DisinfoWatch.org and Senior Fellow with the Macdonald Laurier Institute

Welcome to episode 2.16 of Your Biz, Your Rules. In this show we are going to be talking about how to succeed as an introvert. While the examples I might use will be more focused on how to thrive as an introverted business owner, please remember that these concepts can be applied to any area of your life. The way our society is structured was not really set up with us introverts in mind, so it probably isn't just business where you need that extra boost. Your Challenge: Your action step for today is to run with one of these ideas, and start implementing it into the way you work. By all means, I would love to also have you jump into my DMs and share your biggest takeaway from the show too.

Our guest for this episode is Howard Rheingold, a critic, writer, and teacher who specializes in the cultural, social, and political implications of modern communication media. Howard wrote about the earliest personal computers at Xerox PARC, and he was also one of the early users of the Whole Earth ‘Lectronic Link or The WELL, an influential early online community. In 1994, he was hired as the founding executive director of HotWired. He is the author of several books, including The Virtual Community, Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution, and Net Smart: How to Thrive Online. In this conversation, Howard talks about transitioning from typewriters to computers and the potentials of virtual communities – to both serve as think tanks and form personal connections. He talks about recognizing “signals” of what was to come with telephones and computers and the early collective action that the smartphone encouraged. Finally, he describes five media literacies that everyone should master if they want to use social media well. Click here for this episode's transcript, and here for this episode's show notes.

In something of a left-field episode, Rob talks to branding expert, entrepreneur and business turnaround specialist, Nadine Lewis, in a thought-provoking conversation about her experiences, the lessons she has learned on her empowering journey through business, why personal branding is crucial, and the teachings we can take into our own practices as leaders, managers and coaches. KEY TAKEAWAYS Branding is the one factor that sets you apart from everyone else. It marks you out as unique and makes people buy into you as a singular entity. We must begin by thinking outside of the box. We must identify our absolute ideal in life, which can then provide us with the finish line we wish to reach. Building a brand begins with working on our self-belief. It is about recognising the skills we possess, and using them as selling points. Success does not necessarily come through finding the right opportunities in life. True success comes from the journey itself and from learning through experience. BEST MOMENTS 'I developed and grew a global brand' 'The one thing I'm passionate about is small and new businesses' 'It's having that self belief that "Actually, I can do this"' 'Social media is such a big part of everything these days in terms of building your brand' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Leader Manager Coach Podcast      ABOUT THE GUEST Nadine is the owner of the successful branding and web design company Thrive Online. As an experienced entrepreneur, e commerce brand and business turnaround expert Nadine nows spends her time helping small businesses to grow and thrive. She can be contacted via her website at www.thriveonline.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST   Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background. He has worked in the football industry in Europe, USA and Africa; at International, Premiership, League, Non-League and grassroots levels with both World Cup and European Championship experience Rob Ryles prides himself on having a forward thinking and progressive approach to the game built through his own experience as well as lessons learned from a number of highly successful managers and coaches.

As women and business owners, our relationship with money is complex. We're constantly challenged by our internalized scarcity mindset, the wage gap, and financial barriers in a system that wasn't designed to benefit us.But money, at the end of the day, is a resource at your disposal4. And if you choose to channel it as an agent of power, freedom, and equity, that's exactly what it'll bring you!That's just one of the exciting concepts we're discussing in this week's episode!In September, a panel of five female founders got together for our annual Thrive Online fireside chat, Women, Money, and Power. We spoke candidly about the power of money and influence, feminist businesses, and finance. And this week's episode is the complete and unadulterated discussion from that very panel!We're extremely proud to present Kelly Diels (Feminist marketing teacher), Emily Howe (Founder of The American Association of Corporate Gender Strategists, Claire Wasserman (Founder of Ladies Get Paid), Naomi Scott Clark (Feminist marketing coach), and Amina AlTai (Leadership and mindfulness coach) as our guests for this episode!Here's what you can expect from this one: Money as an agent of freedom and power  Building an empire versus building power (and sharing it!) What a “feminist business” really means Why pushing past our internalized income ceilings is activism Scarcity and abundance as gendered teachings Origin stories of some of today's most influential female-owned movement-building businesses  Defining “influence” and claiming it's power Acknowledging your inner power, cultivating a practice of self-trust, and knowing what you're worth What makes this episode so special is the honesty with which every panelist brings her own financial experiences to the table. No matter where you are in your own financial journey, you'll find yourself feeling a little more motivated and well-informed once the headphones come off. So cozy up, and tune in—this is the only girl-talk you need this week!RESOURCESKelly Diels' Website Instagram Emily Howe Website Instagram American Association of Corporate Gender Strategists Claire Wasserman Ladies Get Paid Instagram Naomi Clark Website Instagram Amina AlTai Website Instagram

Wix: Providing Businesses with the Professional Tools & Services They Need to Thrive Online - from search to checkout (Liat Karpel Gurwicz, Head of eCommerce Marketing) In this episode, I speak to Liat Karpel Gurwicz, Head of eCommerce Marketing at Wix. Wix is a NASDAQ-listed company and one of the largest online website builders in the world. With Wix's powerful technology and unparalleled design capabilities, you can create a beautiful, professional and functional web presence to manage and grow your business. In this current environment, that's more important than ever. Over the course of this conversation, Liat and I speak about the rapid acceleration of the offline-to-online shift and how businesses have been forced to move online in order to survive. Going further, we explore how this has caused the ecommerce landscape to become more competitive, and in turn placed more emphasis on having a website which can offer a smooth customer journey, from search to checkout - and in particular, how the Wix solution can help solve these challenges. If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like and share on social media, and if you're considering how you can utilise Wix's web solutions to enhance your ecommerce store, you should reach out to Liat directly at liatg@wix.com.

On this Monday's WUL, I talk with Jeff Carver-a Legendary affiliate who's also a pastor out in California. This is Jeff's second time on the show and he gives us an update on where he's at in the affiliate marketing world.

This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to enable wholesale and manufacturing organizations to a build the same kind of relationships online as they’ve always done offline. My guest is Michiel Schipperus, CEO Sana CommerceMichiel has been working in e-commerce since 1999 when he joined ISM eGroup. In the years following he consulted with many distributors and manufacturers on how to successfully set up an online sales channel. These lessons learned from more than 100 B2B e-commerce cases were used to develop the Sana Commerce concept. In 2011 Sana was founded. Since then Michiel is pursuing two missions simultaneously:1. Helping companies worldwide achieve e-commerce success2. Building a company culture people love and that enables them to be their best selves.This inspired me, and hence I invited Michiel to my podcast. We explore what’s broken in the market for e-commerce and why so many companies don’t achieve the e-commerce success they hope for. We dig deeper into the question what needs to be done differently from a product strategy standpoint to solve this global challenge. Lastly we discuss Michiel’s standpoint on what’s required to build a software business that turns customers into advocates in a way that’s highly scalable.Here are some of his quotes:We learned 10 years ago that that B2B was very different from B2C.The problem for these companies if they have this very special unique relationship with their customers and they put in place a B2C ecommerce platform, is that this platform is not supporting the nature of their relationships.They run into all kinds of issues with their customers. They don't see the adoption that they would like, because these customers, they go online, they try to order but they do not see the information that they're looking for, or the information is inaccurate. So, they will not use the ecommerce platform anymore. They'll just pick up the phone and revert back to their old way of working.If they're not able to make this transition with them, and service these customers online the same way to have been doing offline, well, that will definitely damage their business.During this interview, you will learn three things:Why what customers say they need, is often not what they want. And getting this wrong could severely undermine your competitiveness.That value differentiation starts with your foundation – and done well helps you can escape the competition on featureWhy you have to be more strategic earlier in your journey – to avoid things just ‘happen to you’ - especially around your value proposition.

Howard wrote his first article studying virtual communities 1987. Yes, 1987. That's before the official internet and long before anything that resembled what we know of today as social media. In 2012 he authored the book, Net Smart; How to Thrive Online, which laid out 5 essential literacies for users of digital communication and networks. He’s got a ton of great insights and perspectives on our current situation with Facebook and Google and Youtube. He’s hopeful it seems, and he doesn’t bash the tech itself. Rather, he tries to empower its users to see it for what it is, and to make the most of it.

It means a lot to me, I’m so grateful. So much good stuff coming up. Stay tuned! The About Section from Howard’s Website reads as follows “I fell into the computer realm from the typewriter dimension in 1981, then plugged my computer into my telephone in 1983 and got sucked into the net. In earlier years, my interest in the powers of the human mind led to Higher Creativity (1984), written with Willis Harman, Talking Tech(1982) and The Cognitive Connection (1986) with Howard Levine, Excursions to the Far Side of the Mind: A Book of Memes (1988),Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (1990), with Stephen LaBerge, and They Have A Word For It: A Lighthearted Lexicon of Untranslatable Words and Phrases.(1988). I ventured further into the territory where minds meet technology through the subject of computers as mind-amplifiers and wrote Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Amplifiers (1984). Next, Virtual Reality (1991)chronicled my odyssey in the world of artificial experience, from simulated battlefields in Hawaii to robotics laboratories in Tokyo, garage inventors in Great Britain, and simulation engineers in the south of France. In 1994, I was one of the principal architects and the first Executive Editor of HotWired. I quit after launch, because I wanted something more like a jam session than a magazine. In 1996, I founded and, with the help of a crew of 15, launched Electric Minds. Electric Minds was named one of the ten best web sites of 1996 by Time magazine and was acquired by Durand Communications in 1997. My 2002 book, Smart Mobs, was acclaimed as a prescient forecast of the always-on era. In 2005, I taught a course at Stanford University on A Literacy of Cooperation, part of a long-term investigation of cooperation and collective action that I have undertaken in partnership with the Institute for the Future. The Cooperation Commons is the site of our ongoing investigation of cooperation and collective action.The TED talk I delivered about “Way New Collaboration” has been viewed more than 265,000 times. In 2008, I was a winner in MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media and Learning competition and used my award to work with a developer to create a free and open source social media classroom. I have a YouTube channel that covers a range of subjects. Most recently, I’ve been concentrating on learning and teaching 21st Century literacies. I’ve blogged about this subject for SFGate, have been interviewed, and have presented talks on the subject. I was invited to deliver the 2012 Regents’ Lecture at University of California, Berkeley. I also teach online courses through Rheingold U. My latest book, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online, published in 2012, was reviewed in Science.”

For the latest in our Thrive pedagogy podcast series, we spoke to Laura Griffin and Jason Goddard, from the Greater Horseshoe School, based in Devon. The independent special school, which is run by Enhanced Learning Services, opened in 2018 and has embedded Thrive® at the heart of the school day ever since. The school has 21 pupils aged from eight to 19-years-old, many of whom have an Education Health Care Plan in place with a variety of diagnoses including learning difficulties, autism and ADHD. Liz Parks, PR Officer at Thrive, talks to Teacher Laura Griffin - a Thrive Licensed Practitioner® who had used Thrive in her previous schools. When Laura started working at Greater Horseshoe, she believed the Thrive Approach® would be invaluable to measure pupils’ progress and help to draw up action plans to support their development through the monitoring and evaluation functions of Thrive-Online®. In our podcast, Laura describes how the school uses Thrive ... and what the results have been so far.

With the recent coronavirus crisis, we are all experiencing fear, isolation and uncertainty. During this time, everyone's safety and wellbeing is the highest priority; finding creative ways to stay connected with each other and support those in need is crucial .This is especially true for our seniors, many of whom are no longer able to attend their usual daily programs. Olive Community Services is committed to ensuring participants remain safe, healthy, and engaged physically, mentally, and socially. Towards that end, Olive has launched an online version of the Live Learn Thrive, (LLT), program through Zoom video conferencing. Voices for Eldercare Advocacy cohost Rubina Chaudhary, and one of the Olive's original founders, looks at this as a a wonderful opportunity to enable seniors who haven't been able to attend Olive's physical programs, the opportunity to participate through the World Wide Web. Olive program facilitators join us on the show to describe the program.

The Thrive Approach is informed by established developments in neuroscientific research. It is underpinned by a theoretical base in child development theory, transactional analysis and attachment theory, creativity, play and the arts. At the heart of the Approach lies the understanding that children’s behaviour represents a form of communication – of their underlying needs. If we can recognise and meet these needs, children are able to flourish, learn and succeed in their education and life. In this Podcast, you will gain an introduction to the Thrive Approach, Thrive-Online and learn about the impact Thrive has had on a primary school in a deprived, rural area of Cornwall. You can learn more about Thrive at: www.thriveapproach.com

This week is our back to school special. Our guest is Colette Mondor, an educator in Canada. We talk using devices, app stores and security with students. Further discussion includes the importance of teaching empathy, and the value of ensuring that your children know how to find trustworthy information online. Get Montreal Sauce: The Wearable! For the next week we have a t-shit for sale. Get it now, it will no longer be available after the week. Recently, on our Twitter account we asked what fans would like to be called. Welcome Sausages! Colette recently presented at the GAFE Summit in Calgary. G.A.F.E. stands for Google Apps for Education. Colette owns a brand new Chromebook with an Intel Core i3 chip. Gamification is a big movement in education to get students more engaged. Therefore, the EdTech Team chose to gamify the summit. Read & Write for Google helps students who have a difficulty reading. Colette suggests using this extension for math story problems for those students. Colette believes one of the things that often gets missed when teaching with technology is digital citizenship. Of course, we all agree that many adults could use that same lesson. Many schools are going one to one with devices, assigning students iPads or tablets from kindergarten on. Using tablets and iPads as shared devices, with multiple classes/students, is difficult because they are meant for individuals. Schools can secure Google tablets & with Google Apps Device Policy but added security becomes troublesome with younger students. Android tablets do have multiple users but backing up user apps & data is difficult and doesn’t work well at all. Chris talks about volunteering in the classroom, and Colette corrects him by inventing a great new word. Chris is voluntold to go to school and help. Chris and guest Colette slip into their old podcast, The Sexy Back Tour while discussing this summer’s travels. Chris went to many weddings this summer including one featured on national news because it was on ice. The hockey wedding (more pics if you are one of those wedding lovers) took place in Michigan, not Canada. WAIT. WHAT? During the road trip to multiple weddings Chris went to the ER. He was the lucky winner of Bell’s palsy. Also, Chris wants a summer home in Nelson, B.C. Paul shares theories on digital identities from Jeff Jarvis who can be found on This Week in Google podcast. Chris adds that he recently finished a book by Howard Rheingold called Net Smart: How to Thrive Online. We learned why “zee” replaced “zed” in America English thanks to masteraramil in the chatroom. We get into the metric system vs. the Imperial units. Fahrenheit vs. Celsius vs. Kelvin. Don’t forget about the Montreal Sauce tee available for a limited time!

Author of Net Smart: How to Thrive Online, on Sedge Thomson's West Coast Live

Join us for a discussion with author Howard Rheingold. In his new book, Net Smart: How to Thrive Online, Rheingold asks, how can we use digital media so that they help us become empowered participants rather than passive consumers; grounded, well-rounded people rather than multitasking neurotics? In Net Smart, he demonstrates how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and, above all, mindfully. Mindful use of digital media means thinking about what we are doing, cultivating an ongoing inner inquiry into how we want to spend our time. Rheingold outlines five fundamental digital literacies, online skills that will help us do this: attention, participation, collaboration, critical consumption of information (or "crap detection"), and network smarts. He explains how attention works, and how we can use our attention to focus on the tiny relevant portion of the incoming tsunami of information. He describes the quality of participation that empowers the best of the bloggers, netizens, tweeters, and other online community participants; he examines how successful online collaborative enterprises contribute new knowledge to the world in new ways; and he presents a lesson on networks and network building. There is a bigger social issue at work in digital literacy, one that goes beyond personal empowerment. If we combine our individual efforts wisely, it could produce a more thoughtful society: countless small acts like publishing a Web page or sharing a link could add up to a public good that enriches everybody.

Digital media has impacted our lives in staggering ways, and few people have chronicled that impact more thoughtfully than Howard Rheingold. In this Horizon Connect webinar, Howard Discusses his new book, "Net Smart. How to Thrive Online." He encourages his audience to think more strategically about digital media and its applications in each of our lives and our work.
