They picked up second jobs at their gym, rented out their car on Turo, dogsitted, and -- inspired by my episode with Chris Schwab, they started a residential cleaning business called Maids2Match.com. Today, that business is doing $20-25k in sales a month, with other people doing the cleaning. Anthony and Jhanilka are fully in business-owner mode, dedicating just a few hours a week to it.

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, I'm joined by the multi-faceted Shelby Clark, a visionary entrepreneur, investor, embodiment facilitator, and founder of The Jungle Gayborhood, an LGBTQ+ focused retreat located center in the beautiful jungles of Costa Rica. You may remember me talking about the Gayborhood in my episode Healing the Father wound where I share about my magical time there attending a conscious kink retreat. Now you get to hear about it from the founder and director himself. In this interview we get to hear the story of how Shelby went from being a tech entrepreneur and founder of the groundbreaking billion-dollar car-sharing company Turo, to founding a queer retreat center in the jungle. And all the twists and turns on the way. Shelby vulnerably shares how, as a queer kid, he struggled to fully accept himself and found refuge in overachievement. Together, we unpack this familiar queer narrative of overcompensating to mask internalized shame, and explore how so many queer people, link their identity to achievement and people-pleasing, often at the cost of their own authentic selves.We then learn about all the influences for the Gayborhood including Esalen, Burning Man and radical fairy sanctuaries and then We explore why dedicated queer spaces like The Jungle Gayborhood offer uniquely medicine and create environments where radical authenticity can flourish free from societal expectations or limitations.Together, we unpack the transformative potential of psychedelics for queer healing, and I share some personal stories about my journey with that then Shelby shares insights from groundbreaking research recently facilitated at the Gayborhood.

Send us a textIn this episode, our host Kaleem Clarkson, joined by guest co-host Laurel Farrer, dives into the compelling journey of entrepreneur Bo Abrams, co-founder of Kommu, a revolutionary home-sharing platform. Bo's evolution—from a spirited youth navigating diverse environments to an innovative leader tackling inefficiencies in the home-sharing industry—is both impressive and full of insightful turns.Bo's unique upbringing as part of a nationally ranked basketball team alongside hip-hop legend Master P exposed him to diverse experiences from a young age. These experiences helped build his confidence, adaptability, and knack for navigating challenges—a foundation that has served him well in his entrepreneurial pursuits. This drive undoubtedly motivated him to earn an MBA from UCLA's Anderson School of Business, all while continuing to pursue his musical endeavors!Bo's professional journey began in finance, where he took an entry-level position at a hedge fund, likening the experience to starting in the mailroom. Although the job involved humbling tasks like fetching coffee, it introduced him to ambitious colleagues who inspired his career aspirations. Realizing that the hedge fund path wasn't his true calling, Bo pivoted to operations roles in startups, including a stint at Steelhouse (now Mountain).The inspiration for Kommu struck during a trip to Whitefish, Montana, when Bo encountered the inefficiencies and high costs of home-sharing platforms like Airbnb. He wondered why homeowners couldn't monetize their properties as easily as car owners using platforms like Turo. This lightbulb moment led to the creation of Kommu—a social marketplace designed to offer young people trusted, affordable home-sharing options while fostering a sense of community. Bo envisioned Kommu as a disruptor in the space, providing a more equitable and user-friendly alternative to traditional rental platforms.Bo's partnership with co-founder Gus marked another milestone in Kommu's journey. The two met at UCLA, and their shared vision for transforming the home-sharing market solidified their collaboration. However, the road to success wasn't without sacrifices. Bo candidly shared how his laser focus on career and academic goals led to personal challenges, including the end of a significant relationship. Despite these setbacks, he found strength in his achievements and the unwavering support of family and friends.Take a moment to delve deeper into Kommu's ethos and mission with Laurel and Kaleem's sharp and delightful guidance! Bo's experiences and journey are a testament to the transformative power of resilience, adaptability, and innovation. From a trumpet-playing teenager in Beverly Hills to the co-founder of a disruptive startup, his story underscores the importance of perseverance in overcoming obstacles.Learn more about navigating the startup world, cultivating a growth mindset, and balancing ambition with personal sacrifices! Bo's story—filled with relatable anecdotes and actionable takeaways—serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and remote professionals alike.Learn more about Bo:Bo's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bo-abrams/Kommu's Webpage: https://www.gokommu.com/ More about us: Remotely One's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/remotelyone Remotely One's Webpage: https://www.remotelyone.com/

Modern Dealer: Business Development with Colin Thomas BDColin™
A recent call from a connection of mine in South Florida who runs a decent size Turo fleet asked me if I could direct him to a store that would help him add an additional 20 to 30 units to his fleet. What I didn't know at the time was how difficult it would be to find a dealership that would actually be interested in selling an extra 20 or 30 cars. In this podcast episode, I highlight one of many phone calls that I had. Some of the comments that I heard were “we don't want to sell that many cars” “ we don't have a process for that” “ I'm just an appointment setter” If we create this much friction for a customer trying to buy 20 to 30 vehicles, imagine what a customer trying to buy one vehicle must go through . If you have not shopped your process… If you have not tried to buy a car from your own website I highly suggest you reach out so that we can maximize your opportunities and limit your liabilities.

It's Friday, January 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Seattle street preacher censored for Biblical speech Being a street preacher is difficult work. But it's a lot more difficult when violent activists are trying to shut you down—and when the local police aid them in silencing you, reports Alliance Defending Freedom. That's what happened to Pastor Matthew Meinecke of Seattle. But thanks to the efforts of ADF, this evangelist is once again free to share the Gospel on his city's streets. Meinecke has been publicly ministering in Seattle for years. He reads the Bible aloud and often holds signs and hands out literature. On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court rightly overturned Roe v. Wade. Pro-abortion demonstrators gathered in Seattle to protest the decision. Meinecke also attended the protest—not to speak about abortion however, but to read from the Bible and share the Gospel message. Not surprisingly, his message was not well received in Seattle. Protesters surrounded Meinecke, grabbed his Bible, and ripped pages out. As the demonstrators grew more aggressive, the street preacher took hold of a traffic sawhorse. Protesters then picked Meinecke up, along with the sawhorse, and dropped him on the pavement across the street. When Meinecke got up and began reading from the Scriptures again, protesters knocked him back down and took one of his shoes. When police officers finally arrived, they ordered Meinecke to leave. When he declined, they arrested him. Matthew Meinecke should not have been censored, much less arrested, for peacefully sharing his views in a public place. The First Amendment guarantees him, and every American, the rights of free speech and religious freedom, both of which he was exercising peacefully. So Meinecke, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, filed a lawsuit against the city. While a federal district court sided with the city, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the actions of the officers, i.e., the city, presented a content-based burden on Meinecke's expressive activity. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” Cybertruck exploded in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas A Tesla Cybertruck exploded and burst into flames Wednesday morning at 8:40am just outside the entrance of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing a soldier named Matthew Alan Livelsberger who was inside the vehicle and injuring several others standing nearby, reports NBC News. It blew up after an improvised explosive was detonated in the truck's bed. Livelsberger, age 37, was a master sergeant in the U.S. Army's elite special forces unit and a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Authorities said a military ID, a passport, and credit cards found at the scene were in Livelsberger's name, but that the body in the Cybertruck was “burned beyond recognition.” While investigators are still awaiting DNA or medical record confirmation of the body's identity, other evidence indicated Livelsberger had died, including tattoos on the body's stomach and arms. The body recovered from the Cybertruck sustained an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle. The suspicious blast is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack. The blast came hours after a driver in a rented pickup truck, who was flying an ISIS flag, plowed into New Year's Eve revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 and injuring more than 30 others before he was shot dead by police. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill said that the pickup truck and the Tesla in the Las Vegas explosion were rented from the same online platform named Turo. Livelsberger's long military career included deployments to the Republic of Congo in 2014, Ukraine in 2016, Tajikistan in 2016, and Afghanistan in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Chris Raia, the deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, said this at a press conference in Louisiana. RAIA: “At this point, there is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas." Nonetheless, the fact that the incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas came just hours apart and both appeared to involve military members with somewhat similar backgrounds has been noted by officials. Biden honors Liz Cheney with Presidential Citizens Medal In a clear slam of President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday, President Joe Biden honored former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming with the Presidential Citizens Medal for both her work on the special House committee that investigated the January 6, 2021 event at the Capitol and for speaking out about the importance of democracy, reports The Hill. Needless to say, Cheney actively campaigned against Trump's re-election bid and endorsed Kamala Harris, the leftist Democrat, for President, along with her father, Dick Cheney, who served as George W. Bush's Vice President. Lowe's delivered 100 tiny homes for Hurricane Helene families in North Carolina And finally, many families in Western North Carolina were facing Christmas still in need of housing, after Hurricane Helene devastated their towns, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Listen. LADY #1: “It was a nightmare. I have never, ever seen it like this.” LADY #2: “Got out of bed to look down to watch water pouring into the house.” LADY #1: “It came so fast, and I went out and I was holding on to the bottom of the rail, and I had water up to my neck.” LADY #2: “That was the beginning of what has been the longest three months of my life.” LADY #1: “I feel like we got forgotten.” In the midst of a tragic situation, Lowe's Home Improvement Stores wanted to help. LOWE'S SPOKESWOMAN: “Our goal is to create 100 tiny homes for people in Western North Carolina. To be able to build tiny homes, to give people a sense of hope, to give people a sense of neighbors helping neighbors. I just really think that this is going to mean a lot. This weather has gotten bad.” Thanks to Lowe's financial investment of building materials and hundreds of volunteer home builders, those 100 tiny homes were built and installed in time for Christmas Eve. The tiny homes, which include heat and all the necessities—like a kitchen, bathroom, and two full-size beds—allow families to remain in their neighborhood while their permanent home is rebuilt. Each home included fresh seasonal greenery, furnishings, and décor all donated by Lowe's. The recipients of those tiny homes were beyond grateful. LADY #1: “Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. It is so gorgeous. I don't know what to say. It's beautiful. I can't believe it. I got my new home, my tiny home. (laughing) It's awesome.” “I am so grateful. I was blessed beyond. Because honestly, I thought we were forgotten.” In Matthew 10:29-31, Jesus asked, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So, don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, January 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025.
