Episode 69: A Conversation with a Champion  Special Guest: Candace Motes, Indiana Wesleyan University Women's Volleyball Head Coach   Won the NAIA National Championship. Every person has a different philosophy and there's no two leadership philosophies that are exactly the same.    Background Information: When did you start coaching? I got into volleyball and it took me to an opportunity to go play at the University of Nebraska Omaha. That's where I became knowledgeable as a coach in a sense being a player around great coaches I Wasn't thriving in that culture at all and it was becoming more of a heartache for me So I left and went to a Christian University. What made you want to be a coach?Assistant Coach for the team I played on and enjoyed it Was recommended to take over as my college coach left.  Coaching peers - “One of the hardest things that I did”“When God calls  you to something and you, even if fear, go towards it, it changes your life.”  Coached at Alma Mater for 10 years before coaching in Indiana.  How long have you been in your current position at Indiana Wesleyan?  Coaching at Indiana Wesleyan for 22 years There's been hardships, there's been growth, but overall it's been a great experience for me.   Team Background: How did you feel going into this season? Did you know that this was going to be the season? No, I didn't.  There were lessons learned from each individual. But for me personally, I did not have the trust that I needed. Didn't see this team for the potential that they had.  I was very critical,  skill set wise,  The grind of continuing to have the vision of what it took to get to the highest level and going through that journey. Chasing little goals    What do you think contributed to this being the championship winning season?Focused on Building Culture Adjusted practices to reflect this priority  Brought in a mindset coach Took an international tripThe value of being uncomfortable Doing something together Serving  Recruited great players   Facing Obstacles: Not always just players and their drama Coaches can bring in obstacles too  Injuries Keep the mindset in a positive direction Helping our culture stay together Understanding roles Who is someone who has really influenced your leadership? Debbie Brown from Notre Dame.  John Dunning from Stanford. Ruth Nelson - Olympian coach  https://www.theartofcoachingvolleyball.com/profile-ruth-nelson/ Has really shown me to stay in it till  you don't have a passion anymore, but don't leave because you're believing lies that tell you that you should be done and do something different.   BOOK: “Starts with Why”,  by Simon Sinek.    Coach Candace's Final Thoughts:  Don't be afraid to change your thoughts. Don't be afraid. First of all, for young coaches, don't try to be anybody else that you think you should be. I have to be who I am. And I have to be who God created me to be. And I have to be the person that he wants me to be influencing in the moment that I'm in. But then, as you continue to go, continue to stay grounded in, “I can change, and I can make changes.”    Amazon Book Link: Start With Why, Simon Sinek - https://a.co/d/1SQnw4G  Special Thanks To: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Work it out by LiQWYD https://soundcloud.com/liqwyd  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0  Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/l_work-it-out Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/erSmdVocHO0 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Turtles! Volcanoes! Caiman! Monkeys! Museums! Fumaroles! Scuba Diving! Swimming Holes! And Sunsets! Paula is back as co-host for the first time since the Season 1 finale as she and Tony discuss their recent travel to Costa Rica, not only from an environmental and cultural perspective, but also from their uniquely different personal perspectives. Paula had not traveled outside the USA in 35 years, whereas Tony spent almost a whole year backpacking round the globe only back in 2016. Similarly, Tony is something of an (ageing) adrenalin hound who went scuba diving and running the volcanos, while Paula had reasons to want to take it just a little less hectic.Some of the topics discussed in this episode:All the great reasons to visit Costa Rica in the first place: is just 0.04% of the earth's land surface but contains 5% of its species; 33% of it is protected land; Atlantic and Pacific Coasts both readily accessible; no standing Army.How much advance planning should go into a foreign trip and how much should be left to finalize "on the ground".Choosing to travel by public transport with occasional taxi/Uber/Didi rather than being like most North Americans and renting a car.Opting to stay primarily in Air BnBs.Advantages of traveling in the rainy seasonChoosing to avoid the main tourist destinations of Arenal Volcano and Manuel Antonio National Park, going instead for:San José: not the world's loveliest capital city but a veritable gold mine of museumsTraveling to Tortuguero on the northern Caribbean coast and what to do when you miss your connecting busThe 6am canoe trip into the waters of the Tortuguero National Park and the multiple fauna and flora seen on that tripThe turtles of Tortuguero: the cosmic experience of watching green sea turtles lay their eggs and return to the ocean, all while (Tony and Paula were) stumbling round the beach at night holding hands with strangers. (More on sea turtles here)Alajuela, Costa Rica's second biggest city, and its hero Juan Santamaria, who helped achieve victory over William Walker's pro-slavery Filibusteros in 1856, and for whom the local museum (a former army barracks) and nearby international airport is named.The cloud forest of Poás VolcanoThe beautiful "white city" of Liberia, the capital of Guanacaste in the north-west.The vast and vastly under-visited Rincón de la Vieja National Park outside of Liberia, with its active volcano and multiple hiking trails. These include Las Pailas which has close-ups of fumaroles and hot springs, and the steep exposed hike to the Hidden Waterfall, which Tony was the only one to take that day.How Costa Rica is using geothermal energy from its (six) active volcanos to supply 15% of the country's energy.The charming and peaceful Playa HermosaScuba diving from nearby Playa CocoFood and drinkThe national expression of "Pura Vida"ConclusionsMusic in this episode: "A Word That Doesn't Rhyme" by The Dear BoysSubscribe to tonyfletcher.substack.com for updates on this and Tony's other podcast, plus news of events, new releases, recommendations and a weekly long-form article.

Mission work needs funds in order to bring the Gospel to regions of the world where Jesus' name isn't widely known.

Frans sent me an email a while back detailing an experience he had in the mountains while on a trail run with his dog. In years past, he would have brought a mountain of gear “just in case” but this time he packed only what he needed so he could move more quickly and cover more ground.Halfway through the run he found himself in deep snow and had a moment of “what if.” He resolved to keep moving until he found himself back on the main trail headed to the truck. From this experience Frans began to have some realizations about how much gear is too much gear and how much is too little.On this episode we explore this exact topic. We talk about what can be achieved by bringing only the essentials and Frans' personal journey in backpacking.Lot's of great stuff to think about in this one!By Land,Emory R.

Many Airbnb guests are looking for a chance to unplug and truly get away from the madness of modern life. David Fraser has developed a low-risk Airbnb model that capitalizes on this by building log cabins on his property, and he is keen to share his best practices with the Get Paid for Your Pad audience.David happened into the idea accidentally because his family had no place to sleep when they visited his country home outside Toronto. His mother sent him an ad for a cabin on Kijiji, and David began to wonder if such a rustic experience would do well on Airbnb when his family wasn’t staying there. He did a little market research by creating a listing, using stock photos of the cabin and pictures of the view from his backyard, and to his surprise, there was significant interest. David accepted his first booking and built the cabin from a kit—two days before the guests arrived!Nearly three years later, David has expanded his enterprise to three cabins and a shared bathroom facility. All the units have paid for themselves, and he is able to generate $4,000 CAD/month in cashflow. Today he explains how he developed the concept, from choosing a cabin to furnishings to maintenance. Listen to understand how David handles the seasonality of bookings and the potential for regulations down the road. If you are in the right situation, the log cabin model might work for you!Topics CoveredHow David developed the log cabin concept•Moved to the country•No place for family to sleep when visiting•Mom sent ad for cabin on Kijiji•Created Airbnb listing to test market•Received interest, accepted booking•Built cabin two days before arrival of first guest•Refined process, added amenities•Built two additional cabins and shared bathroomHow much the cabins cost•$4,400 CAD for the first one•Negotiated with European company for wholesale price on next two•Between $3,500-$8,000 CAD•All cabins are 105 ft² (don’t need building permit)How David furnishes the cabins•Queen bed•Writer’s table•Dressers•Heaters•Electric blanket, fan•Premium cabin has loft, A/C•Rustic theme (most furniture used)•Spend $1,000 per cabin on furnishingsThe process of building the cabins•David, his wife and father-in-law built in two days•Comes with complete kit•Ensure area is level•Could pour cement pad as foundation•David recommends 6x6 pressure-treated lumberDavid’s ROI•First year with single cabin, made $6,000 CAD (170% ROI)•Single cabin this year generated $8,000 CAD (200% ROI)•Additional cabins built this spring have already paid for selves•Made $4,000 CAD last monthHow David approaches maintenance•Changeover requires sweeping, change of bedsheets•Simple because no bath/shower to clean•Replace bedsheets as necessary•Few things to break, not costly to replaceThe seasonality of bookings•Didn’t anticipate bookings in January, February•Closed listing in 2016 while traveling•Kept open in 2017, still made $2,000 from January—March•Installed two heavy-duty heaters•May try pellet stoves this winterThe legality of Airbnb in David’s municipality•Hasn’t ruled for or against (only two hosts in area)•David is building up client base of regulars in case of eventual regulationsThe primary market for David’s cabins•People in nearby cities looking to getaway•One- or two-day tripThe benefits of the log cabin concept•Low risk•David is willing to chat about your specific situation, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
