The Book Leads – Episode 59: Danielle Perlin-Good and her chapter in the book, GODDESS: 22 Spiritual Women Share Their Stories of Healing, Growth & Transformation Danielle is a Soul-Aligned Ghostwriter and an award-winning best-selling author. Even though some people know what they want to do from an insanely young age, it doesn't mean the journey to make it happen is either straightforward or easy. Danielle is another example of that kind of path, with major lessons learned along the way. She talks about being a recovering people pleaser, being intentional about who you surround yourself with, and the power of fulfillment in one's life (especially as a parent). What I take away from my conversation with Danielle is the importance of being true to yourself. Yes, this may seem cliché, but rarely does it happen, where people are living the life or doing the work they themselves want to do. We stop operating with the mindset that “I should” and begin living with the “I want to” and “I desire to” foundation of thought. The funny thing about being a reformed people pleaser is that sometimes the outcomes don't change. Things still get done and people are still better off for it, but the driver behind the actions changes. You ensure your values, needs, and desires are represented, and the ripple effect to others is bigger, stronger, longer-lasting, and more fulfilling. Episode Highlights The self-limiting beliefs and fears that keep us from sharing our stories. Vulnerability vs. the myth and false reality of balance. Business networking vs. networking for changing the f'ing world. Re-writing the book on what parenting looks like. The MAIN QUESTION that underlies my conversation with Danielle is, What could you accomplish if you started thinking about your own needs, wants, and desires? About Danielle Danielle is The Soul-Aligned Ghostwriter and an award-winning best-selling author.

Though it seemed like photographing them was his destiny, Green actually aspired to be a documentary photographer. Becoming the Cubs photographer, he recalls, was serendipitous. Green was doing a graduate thesis on Wrigley Field, then owned by the Wrigley family at the Art Institute of Chicago, but unable to afford the tuition, he still decided to work on the project independently. For the next year, he covered publicity events and the seventh inning stretches. When the Wrigleys sold the ballpark to the Tribune Company at the end of the 1981 season and with their photographer retiring, Green was offered the position of official photographer. In his 35 years, he's photographed alongside Associated Press and Sports Illustrated photographers including Walter Iooss, John Biever, Neil Leifer and Brad Mangin. One of things he's picked up over time is shooting things that moves. With that in mind when on assignment for magazines, Green explains the different approaches in shooting a baseball game outside of the basics. “If you're shooting for a trading card, you just need very clean peak action,” he says. “If you're working for a magazine, it's usually a story specifically driven about a player and you want, like in Sports Illustrated or those magazines, a picture that's got a lot of emotion in it and a lot of intense action.” Of all the Cubs teams he's photographed over three decades, Green states the 2016 Cubs were his favorite to shoot because the group had grown up together and had developed a history, unlike previous years where players acquired through trades and free agency didn't stick around for long. “This team's really kind of cool,” he says. “I really love photographing [infielder] Javier Baez. He's so athletic. He's so excitable and fun to shoot. They're all so different. Kris Bryant is very classic. His form is really good. He's really easy to take a good picture of. Same with [Anthony] Rizzo. His swing is so perfect. But Anthony Rizzo is very emotional. He's very responsive.” We talk about his love of photography, jazz and blues, Oprah and rain delays. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matt-brown57/support

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Founder of https://intellitonic.com/ (Intellitonic), Alex Bruner. Intellitonic is a digital marketing agency with a specific focus on Google products and managing them for businesses. Alex explains that there has become a push to transition into Amazon in the recent years. There are some aspects of Google that have stayed the same over time such as focusing on content, messaging, and maintaining credible hyperlinks from other websites. The evolution of Google has changed in Google being more open about anti spam tactics, mobile responsiveness, and site speed optimization. Alex explains that Intellitonic works with a range of clients from regional to national business. The typical clients are but are not limited to builders, medical services, municipalities, and tourism organizations. Alex explains that municipalities and tourism organizations know what they need. However, they are understaffed and overutilized and that is why Intellitonic can come in to help them bring their vision to life. Alex explains that they work with nonprofits using the Google Ad Grant program. Intellitonic has grown their business carefully to make sure the staff are supported as well as building trust within the company. Alex explains that they hire individuals who want to be there and grow with the company, put them in the right positions, and pay them well for their efforts. This also allows for better client relationships as their points of contact do not change since the staff are staying the same. Alex explains that their business is where it is because of the relationships that were made over the years. The good treatment and relationships with others, allows them to come back to be potential clients because that trust is already instilled in them. Alex explains that individuals need to look into their marketing and if analytics or tracking are missing, an SEO company like Intellitonic, can be highly beneficial to a business. Key Points from the Episode: Who Intellitonic is and what they do The evolution of working with Google Intellitonic clientele Municipalities and tourism organizations Google Ad Grant What makes Intellitonic different Relationships with other individuals and businesses Alex's advice about when SEO help is needed About Alex Bruner: Alex managed SEO, PPC and social media for the Tribune Company's digital marketing agency, where he oversaw the web efforts of clients including those of the L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune, and the Sun Sentinel. Alex's long-term dream has been to turn his digital marketing skills toward making the world a better place. Want to learn more?

Slicing into Chicago's Pizza History Steve Dolinsky Doesn't everybody love Pizza? Well, even if you don't, you might want to tune into our program when award-wining food reporter Steve Dolinsky delivers a luscious serving of pizza history. Here's what's on Steve's menu: - The three waves of pizza in Chicago – Post WWII, 1970s and then the pandemic. - How oven technology helped shape the types of pizza that were made in Chicago. - How one cook changed the shape (and height) of deep-dish, based on a Mississippi biscuit recipe. - The 10 distinctive styles of pizza in Chicago, and also how the most popular style (at least among locals) tends to be thin, tavern style rather than deep-dish. Biography: Steve Dolinsky has won 13 James Beard Awards for his TV, radio and podcast work. He is currently the Food Reporter at NBC 5 (Chicago), where his “Food Guy” reports air every Thursday night at 10 p.m. As the Food Reporter for ABC 7 (Chicago) for 17 years, his “Hungry Hound” reports covered a range of food and drink-related topics. Not only did he produce and report two stories each week, he also shot and edited them (and continues to do so at NBC 5). Steve is also the Producer and Host of “Pizza City” – a bi-monthly podcast featuring some of the greatest pizza makers in the nation, and was previously Co-Creator and Co-Host of The Feed Podcast with Chef Rick Bayless (which garnered a Beard award in 2015 for best podcast), a weekly show that ran from 2014 to 2019. He has also written food and travel stories for the Travel sections of the Chicago Tribune and Canada's Globe and Mail, and was a frequent contributor to Public Radio International's “The World.” Steve is the author of “Pizza City, U.S.A.: 101 Reasons Why Chicago is America's Greatest Pizza Town” (Northwestern University Press). In order to write the book, he visited 185 places in Chicagoland over the course of six solid months of eating. His “Pizza City U.S.A. Tours” began in May of 2018. Steve curates four tours throughout the city, each one giving guests a chance to sample four styles of pizza in three hours. There is one bus tour (usually led by Steve) and three walking tours every weekend. More info at pizzacityusa.com. His second book, “The Ultimate Chicago Pizza Guide: A History of Squares & Slices in the Windy City” is due out in the fall of 2021. On the consulting side, Steve started Culinary Communications, a food industry- focused media training company that works with chefs and other food and beverage professionals outside of Chicago, teaching them how to prepare for and handle all kinds of media exposure. He also works with real estate companies to curate spaces involving food and drink clients, organizes and leads virtual pizza and/or cocktail experiences for companies and works with individual clients to curate unique culinary experiences. Since 2009, Steve has been one of 26 Academy Chairs for the World's 50 Best Restaurants, recruiting and overseeing 40 voters in the Mid-USA/Canada region. He has spoken and/or moderated at several industry events, including the James Beard Awards, the Food & Wine Magazine Classic in Aspen and the New York City Wine and Food Festival. Steve volunteers his time for charitable organizations in the Chicago area that focus on hunger relief, including Share Our Strength and Meals on Wheels. Before joining ABC 7, Steve was Executive Producer and Host of “Good Eating.” The weekly, half-hour show aired on CLTV, the 24-hour cable news channel owned by The Tribune Company. He produced and hosted 52 shows per year for 8 years, garnering six Beard Awards for his work there.

My guest is Eduardo Velandia. Eduardo came to the US in 1987 to seek a better future for himself and his family. A Colombian Navy veteran and Information Technology major from the Colombia School of Engineering, Eduardo started his mental health industry career as a Systems Administrator in Florida. After gaining experience in the IT field, he was hired by a multinational software company based in Pittsburgh, PA, called Internet Securities, Inc. He led the opening of the Santiago, Chile operations. Eduardo then moved back to Florida and worked as a Support Engineer for the Digital Data A publishing subsidiary of Dalai Software from Mexico, where he traveled all over the US and Latin America, integrating Editorial and Advertising systems for newspapers. One of Dalai's clients, The Tribune Company in New York, saw Eduardo's knowledge and capabilities and decided to hire him directly as their IT Director for Hoy Newspaper in New York City. He was a key player during Hoy's expansion to other markets like Chicago and LA. Tribune Company decided to relocate Eduardo to Los Angeles, CA with his family to oversee the Hoy IT operations nationwide in 2003, working from the LA Times. After a challenging year for Hoy in LA, Eduardo was laid off and was out of a job. Then he decided to use his expertise in the IT field and open his own IT Consulting firm, EV-Consultech, Inc., in 2004. He realized the need for small businesses to have a technology partner to help them with their IT needs while business owners run their businesses. Today, Eduardo and his team support over 30 companies in the Greater LA Area and other states, providing onsite and remote IT Support, Cybersecurity, Cloud Services, Backup and Disaster Recovery, and many other IT services. Eduardo brings his technical expertise by creating innovative solutions for his clients, leveraging partnerships with industry leaders, and looking for ways to maximize his clients' ROI. When Eduardo is not busy with technology, he volunteers for a non-profit organization by collecting computer donations repurposed and then handed over to low-income kids and families in the LA area. During the weekends, he enjoys cooking and hiking in Pasadena's trails with his family and playing tennis with his teenage daughter. www.ev-consultech.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardovelandia/ Credits: Smart money intro Traveler remix by Wildlight Voice: Eva Hernandez Podcast interview music background Bumbling by Pictures of Floating World

Today’s guest is Satta Sarmah Hightower. Satta is a journalist-turned-content marketer who lives in Boston. She produces content for agencies and brands in the industries of technology, health care IT and financial services. She previously worked for AOL and the Tribune Company and holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Boston University and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School. Satta became a full-time freelancer in August 2014 after her second layoff in five years. She realized early on that she could make more money writing B2B content than doing only journalism. Then, she realized she was good at, and enjoyed, writing about B2B technology. In 2016, Satta hit her goal to make six figures, during her second full year of freelancing. It had been a goal after she came close to that mark in 2015. Satta believes it’s important to balance higher-earning client projects with your own passion projects, such as coaching, essay writing or podcasting. For Satta, that means developing her fiction writing by taking online fiction writing classes through GrubStreet in Boston. Satta won’t work for free or do unpaid tests. In fact, she doesn’t like to do any test projects because her resume, clips and experience should be enough for a client to assess whether they want to work with her. It’s difficult to earn six figures if you’re focused on lifestyle journalism and content (parenting, fashion, health and wellness). The niche is saturated with writers, which brings down the rates. You can still write on these topics, but Satta suggests mixing them in with other, higher-paying niches, such as technology, health care or financial services. Be easy to work with. As someone who also assigns articles for her clients, Satta has come across too many freelancers who miss deadlines, are hard to reach and/or difficult to work with. Be collaborative with clients and communicate in advance if you run into challenges. Satta struggles with turning off work at the end of the day. To be present with her young son, it helps her to physically separate herself from her workspace and her work tools. This means sometimes leaving her cellphone in a different room. Satta is a very early morning person. She often starts her workday at 4:30 a.m. She does this partly to get her work done early so her husband can watch their son in the morning before she takes over in the afternoon. She also knows that she can write easily very early in the morning but struggles to write late at night. She works about 5–6 hours a day and reserves Fridays for administrative work, recognizing that her brain is tired from writing by the end of the week. She also tries to reserve personal errands and chores for the start or end of the work day, not the middle of the day. Satta doesn’t work for hourly rates because they penalize her for being efficient. She works for flat fees or retainer agreements. But she does have an “internal hourly rate” that she aims to earn. Tracking her hours and having an internal hourly rate helps her know how to price projects and know whether a proposed fee is fair for her. Ongoing marketing is crucial to keep the work coming in. You can’t start marketing only when work dries up. Satta gets a lot of work through referrals, including from other freelancers. Working with agencies is helpful because one editor can refer you to other editors at the same company. LinkedIn is also a good way to get clients. Keep your profile up to date with relevant keywords, and post your work on LinkedIn so potential clients can see that you know certain topics or have worked with certain clients. Satta tried having a virtual assistant, but it took time to train the person, plus she realized she didn’t want to be anyone’s boss. She prefers the “consultant model,” in which she outsources tasks to third-party services like a transcription service or payroll provider. Biz Bite: Use an email scheduling tool.

David Kaplan is an expert in digital customer acquisition and analytics who faced a major barrier -- what can be done about viewability and attribution. He comes on the show to share how he came into attribution, what this has enabled him to do, and how he overcame the challenges of early adoption. David Kaplan started his career with the Tribune Company as a sysadmin for a joint venture with America Online. In the early nineties, David became Director of Special Projects for SportsLine, working on some of the earliest sports websites such as Shaq.com and the San-Francisco 49ers. As digital continued its growth, David built out affiliate, paid search and SEO programs for TicketsNow and Discover Financial. In 2009, David took on all digital media responsibilities for Peapod, including aggregating multiple lines of business and integrating a multi-touch attribution platform to become the single source of truth. Key takeaways: [1:26] I introduce today’s guest, David Kaplan, and invite him to walk us through his career, from starting out as a self-taught developer to creating Shaq’s website to where he is today: Head of Digital Marketing at GrocerKey. [4:14] David speaks to the challenges of acquiring customers while he was at Peapod — Google Analytics taking credit for conversion where the people never even saw the ad, duplicates, etc. — and how he dealt with those before he found attribution. [6:57] David details the priorities he had when he began his search for an attribution partner, starting with viewability. [8:36] Today’s marketing environment is incredibly competitive and the COA is going up, so you definitely need to know what your money is doing! David also touches on the ramifications of customer blindness and resistance. [10:56] David shares his biggest marketing lessons as well as what his aha moment was, with regard to attribution and how he got Peapod to adopt this new technology. [15:23] Getting people to believe the numbers was in part about data warehouse matching but also education about a multi-touch process. [17:10] David explains why the first touch is so important in customer acquisition in non-brand search. [18:12] In 10 years, David predicts that anyone who is serious and can afford it will be doing attribution. [19:04] I thank David for coming on the podcast and sharing so much of his experience.

In this week’s episode of “Marketing Today,” Alan talks with Jason Jedlinski, senior vice president and head of consumer products for Gannett and the USA Today Network. Prior to joining Gannett and USA Today, Jedlinski spent seven years with the Tribune Company as well as serving a brief stint in the world of ad tech. In his current role, he is responsible for everything the consumer sees from Gannett and the USA Today brands. During the course of their discussion, Jedlinski addressed a number of topics, including his take on the monetization of content, the evolution of digital advertising, and what he means when he talks about the “atomization of content.” In speaking about the atomization of content, Jedlinski points out ways Gannett and USA Today endeavor to reach consumers with content they’re curious about and can use. Not only that, he points out how the interactions consumers have with the content make it that much more vital. “It’s really thinking about how we can leverage the information we gather, and the expertise we have, and democratize it and make it accessible as broadly as possible,” says Jelinski. “And how we bring the wisdom of the crowd in to augment that and make it better and help point us to stories that should be told.” He goes on to add, “Just as we’re breaking up this content into these molecular elements, we also need to find ways to get feedback loops with the people reading and consuming and interacting with that content to further make it relevant." Highlights from this week’s “Marketing Today” podcast include: Jedlinski’s career started in TV news before undergoing a metamorphosis, where a redefined role led him into the world of digital content and consumer products. (1:23) “Our go-to-market name for Gannett” — Jedlinski talks about the USA Today Network. (4:38) “It’s a winner-take-all dynamic” — Jedlinski explains the “atomization of content.” (6:36) Jedlinski reveals his thinking on creating and organizing content. (9:50) Leveraging location and building stories in different ways. (12:25) Voice as the accelerator of change. (15:39) Jedlinski on the monetization of content. (21:12) Journalism in his blood: Jedlinski actually started a newspaper when he was in grade school. (28:08) Jedlinski is proudest of his mentoring efforts to help people learn and develop.

While living in the Bay Area, DeRuvo was introduced to olive oil producer, Albert Katz where a brilliant friendship formed. Katz sent DeRuvo to Tuscany, Italy where he spent a year gaining vast knowledge of the entire olive oil industry where he tended to the olive groves at Montecastelli, a well-known producer of Italian wines, olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Exploring the world of olive oil in the land of plenty, DeRuvo continued to cook at two star restaurant Casalta Ristorante with Chef Lazzaro Cimodoro. DeRuvo continued his studies of olives traveling throughout the South of France to cities such as Nice and Monte Carlo. When he’s not bringing his unique approach to Italian dining as Francesca’s Restaurant’s Corporate Executive Chef, you can find him spending time traveling, golfing, reading and of course, eating. Program was recorded at Davanti Enoteca, 1359 W. Taylor St, Chicago, IL on October 24, 2018.
Sinclair Broadcasting's proposed $3.9 billion takeover of the Tribune company, which would have expanded the conservative media company's footprint to nearly three-fourths of American households, suddenly appears in trouble. Today, Federal Communications Commission chair Ajit Pai effectively came out against the acquisition by proposing to refer it to a hearing with a judge. In theory, the deal could still go ahead if the judge finds no problems with the acquisition or if the decision is appealed.

Originally Aierd May 2010 We hear a lot about Europe's troubles - overrun by migrants, the debt crisis in Greece, threats to the Euro and the European Union. We seldom hear that Europe is also making capitalism and democracy work for people, not just corporations. The European Union, 27 nations with a half billion people, is the largest, wealthiest trading bloc in the world, nearly as large as the U.S. and China combined. According to the World Health Organization, Europe has the best health care systems in the world. Europe leads the world in confronting global climate change and the EU's ecological "footprint" (the amount of the earth's capacity that a population consumes) is about half that of the United States for the same standard of living.

11/20/11 This week's show is about a Los Angeles institution and source of local pride, nurtured to greatness as a family-owned business, purchased by someone from out-of-town who knew little about the business, put up little of his own money, and ran the property into the ground so that it is now a shell of its former self. And many customers have reacted by not buying the product. No, we're not talking about the Dodgers, but the Los Angeles Times. After buying Times Mirror, The Tribune Company sent JAMES O'SHEA to LA to run the Times. Sam Zell bought the Tribune Company in a deal that even I - no financial expert - thought was both bad and doomed, and soon the Tribune Company was in bankruptcy where it remains. O'Shea refused to do his bosses' bidding in terms of cutbacks and he was let go. Over the next two years the Times cut nearly 40% of its journalists. JAMES O'SHEA has since founded a Chicago news cooperative of which he is editor, attempting a new model of journalism. JAMES O'SHEA is editor and co-founder of the Chicago News Cooperative, former editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times and past managing editor of the Chicago Tribune. Under his leadership, the Tribune's news staff received six Pulitzer prizes. O'Shea is the author of THE DAISY CHAIN about the savings-and-loan crisis of the 1980s, DANGEROUS COMPANY, an examination of management consultants' role in corporate decision making, and his latest THE DEAL FROM HELL: How Moguls and Wall Street Plundered Great American Newspapers. http://thedealfromhell.com/ http://www.chicagonewscoop.org/

These are extraordinary political and economic times, and even from a distance you can sense the animation on Capitol Hill as Congress debates President Obama's stimulus package, weighs his executive-branch appointments, and responds to his various initiatives.You can feel the same intensity in the Washington press corps, as it works to keep a rapt public briefed on the ins and outs of the capital's daily workings. Yet as capable a job as it's doing right now, we should all be worried about what happens with the press in upcoming months.I say this because reporters in Washington bear great responsibility in our democracy at the moment. Both Congress and the White House are in the hands of the same political party, which is almost certain to magnify an already troubling long-term trend: congressional deference to White House authority, especially on budgetary and foreign-policy issues. We saw the pernicious effect of this during the first six years of the previous administration, when a Republican Congress failed in its oversight role of a Republican president.Now, although the policy particulars are different with a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president, the results could very well turn out the same: A Congress that defers to the president is, unfortunately, a Congress that is prone to be passive in the oversight of his administration, which can lead to ineffective government performance, unresponsive bureaucracy, and wasteful spending. A few legislators will conduct tough oversight, but the likelihood is high that most will not.This means that the watchdogs of the press will be needed more than ever to delve into the federal government's nooks and crannies, analyze its performance, make sure that programs are implemented as intended, explore the shadows where officials often feel most comfortable operating, and make sure that both the American people and members of Congress understand what the government is doing in their name.The public's dependence on the press, however, couldn't come at a more challenging time. Almost every day now brings word of newspaper cutbacks — in space for news, in reporters, and in the resources that can be devoted to research, investigation and reporting. News organizations from Gannett to the Tribune Company to Cox Communications have been laying off and shrinking, with the result that newspapers large and small are trimming or even closing their Washington bureaus, a trend that has been echoed at state capitols around the country.Inevitably, this means that the breadth of news we can get about our governments, both federal and state, is shrinking, too.This is not to say that the volume of political and policy news has shrunk — not with niche cable channels, the blogosphere, the websites of organizations devoted to particular issues, and a press corps that, despite its travails, remains determined to cover Washington. Nor do I mean to suggest that we don't get solid investigative work out of the DC press corps any longer. It was the Washington Post, for instance, that reported on the CIA's secret interrogation sites for suspected terrorists and on mismanagement at the Smithsonian Institution. It was The New York Times that broke the story about the government's warrantless wiretapping program.And it was a politics-and-policy website, Talking Points Memo, that led the press corps in detailing the Justice Department's politically motivated firing of U.S. attorneys. Moreover, the not-for-profit effort, ProPublica, shows promise as a source of serious investigative reporting down the road.Still, the federal government is immense, and over the years most of the press corps had already given up paying close, detailed attention to the inner workings of various departments, from Agriculture to Housing and Urban Development. This is the kind of coverage that requires patient digging, months of work, detailed knowledge of the arcana of federal policy, sophisticated databases, cultivation of sources and diligent followup of whistleblowers.I have no doubt that a handful of media outlets will continue to devote time and resources to investigating big stories, but in an era when the very existence of newspapers is coming into question and a successful business model for sustaining potent news organizations hasn't yet emerged, will even they bother to assign reporters to sniff out problems in the administration of far-flung federal programs?The plain truth is, representative democracy depends on robust oversight of the activities of federal officials. It ought to be part of the daily business of Congress, and the daily concern of the media. When one is politically disinclined to press as hard as it ought, and the other is financially hampered in its ability to do so, every American ought to be concerned.Audio Version
