“Here's what I eat in a day as an *insert social media influencer title here*” If you're active on social media, chances are you have scrolled through posts like these.

How do you do it? Why do you do it?"- Rachelle Heinemann "Even if we understand something logically, it doesn't necessarily mean that we can actually implement something different to make us feel better." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts here!   LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.   Be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter here!   You can connect with me on Instagram @rachelleheinemann, through my website www.rachelleheinemann.com, or email me directly at rachelle@rachelleheinemann.com

Jason talks to Braden Warwick, research associate at PWL Capital. Braden has recently composed a study on optimal compensation savings and consumption for business owners of private corporations. Braden has recently composed a study on optimal compensation savings and consumption for business owners of private corporations. Braden's study was a deep dive at a lot of things that started by looking specifically at compensation, structures, and methodologies and had several interesting findings.Episode Highlights:01:38: Braden shares how he switched his field and how he joined PWL Capital where he was tasked to answer complex problems that the firm is having. 07:16: Braden defines the problem while he does all the research, he explains to people everything which is foundational.08:56: Jason and Braden talk about the different approaches to income as a starting point.14:43: The final paper investigated over 7,000,000 financial planning outcomes, says Braden.19:47: Planning should be around keeping the passive income below 150, because that's when the general corporate kicks in and then you are still in that sweet spot of the transition zone for Ontario and New Brunswick residents.20:49: When the calculation comes up the IP contribution would be less than the equivalent RSP contribution, they can choose to contribute the full RRSP contribution room.21:31: You can basically transfer your RSP assets into the IP and then if any additional corporate funding is required to purchase that service, then that opens up an additional contribution room from the corporation into the IP.40:05: If you are primarily an equity investor, you are generating more capital gains, which is more CDA credit, which is tax free. 3 Key Points:Braden explains how he is trying to solve the key issues around compensation and retirement savings because dividends versus income are one thing versus notional account-type distributions.Braden shares how the net personal cash is higher in the transition zone than it is with either the small business rate or the general corporate.The longer the CDA sits in there, or the longer those tax refunds sit in those notional accounts, the lower the purchasing power becomes over time.Tweetable Quotes:"For me being relatively new to the world of finance was not a trivial task, because especially with things like IP's, you can't just Google that that information is not readily available." - Braden"The problem, as we could starting from the very high level of an individual would come to us with the question of how much can I sustainably spend over the course of my lifetime and then how much net worth will I be left with on average at the end of the day and what's the best plan to get me there and to maximize those." - Braden"For those folks that want to maximize consumption, we found that the IP with the maximum salary was the best route." – Braden"The lower return than the pension also resulted in a lower return within the core, but also less efficient dynamic income." - JasonResources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira's FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira's LinkedInWebsite – Braden Warwick Hosted on Acast.

Mental health has always been a topic of interest in our community and several strides have been made to have open conversations and address mental issues head-on. However, mental health amongst teens is not as discussed especially due to the stereotypes that come with being a teenager, especially in the African community. The mental health issues that teenagers encounter nowadays are very misrepresented by what our community considers “the teenage experience” and this makes it easy for their mental wellbeing to be ignored just because they are teenagers. Today, our focus on teenage mental health will give you insight into what goes on in a teenager's mind as well as what they really think about the community's outlook on them. In this very resourceful episode, our guest Jada Yudom, a teenager and author, will break down some aspects of teen mental health from her book #TeenMentalHealth. I would love to use this opportunity to call on all parents and teenagers to give this episode a listen and give her book a read, and I hope you get inspired as much as I was.    GUEST: Jada Atchu Yudom (she/her) is a sixteen-year-old Cameroonian American mental health advocate. She co-founded Revive, a youth-led organization focused on normalizing the conversation around mental health. With her business partner Sania Ahmad, she also co-authored a book around the same topic and more. One day, she hopes the future generations will be able to speak up about their feelings without the stigma holding them back.

Times have changed and the issues we're facing as African teens in America is different and so we expect our community to change to meet our needs.”- Jada Yudom “As teenagers, the time we spent as teenagers is basically the trial. These are issues and complications we have to face in order to transition into adulthood so it is important to know about these issues and equip yourself with all the tools needed to overcome such issues when they come up.”- Jada Yudom “Sometimes, the best solution is to give teenagers some space, then sit them down, try to listen to them when they're ready, and make time for them. Don't force past solutions on them because it may not work.”- Jada Yudom   LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

Annemarie Shrouder is passionate about creating healthy workplace communities where people feel seen, heard and valued - and can thrive. To advocate for change, Annemarie facilitates engaging, dynamic and interactive presentations with the goal to help audiences think differently about diversity, to understand the importance of inclusion, and inspire the creation of healthy workplace communities. Her signature methodology is called the ‘ABCs of Inclusion' and works on two premises - that inclusion is an outcome and that leadership has to "get it" and build their capacity first, in order for change to be effective. She believes strategy drives change and helps solidify commitment to diversity and inclusion and one of her strategic writings includes her best-selling book, Being Brown in a Black and White World. So dive in, get your ‘Aha moment' for the day, and let's learn about embracing all parts of you: BOTH what you see AND who you are! [00:01 - 7:59] Opening Segment I introduce Annemarie Shrouder Bio Annemarie shares a bit about her background and revelations How she started her career as an elementary school teacher Active member of the LBTQ+ community A glaring need for people to see themselves in other things Working with organizations to help them realize how they view the world ‘Aha moment' - when people understand we are in the same situation We all have different experiences What needs to be changed in our perspective It's ok to see color, gender and identity Look at the way kids can see glaring differences We seem to learn to ascribe value to people [08:00 - 25:37] Embracing All Parts of You: What You See vs Who You Are Annemarie reveals how every part of who you are is important A poem from Annemarie's book “... as if these can't coexist: being and loving.” “How can you love ME, if you don't see my brown skin?” You don't need to fear devaluing someone based on noticing race Race isn't real, but the impact of racism is Annemarie talks about her lived experience search for belonging Race was constructed based on someone's decision The impact of that teaching is that we now separate ourselves It's just DNA “... Connects me with everyone in a DNA dance.” I am not more or less based on race, “I am just me” Annemarie talks about her poetry and writing process A path to greater self-acceptance and understanding Words are the quickest way to someone's heart Bring out the best in humanity and amplify our future on the The Goodness Exchange More information on how you can join in below [25:38 - 41:42] Living in the ‘Both, And' Space Annemarie shares how we don't have to divide into them and us Feeling like you have to choose between races When we polarize we begin to create barriers “I am BOTH black, I am white, AND I am me” There is room and space for us to learn, listen and share with each other How do we get to the point of living in ‘both, and'? Is it true? - challenging your assumptions How do I know it's true? What if it's not true? - accept that there are thing you don't know Pause, get out of the autopilot, and ask these questions I give my own practical tips of pausing before responding How this revelation can impact inclusion and belonging in the workplace Our stories affect who we include in the workplace It takes pausing and asking questions to our assumptions Are you seeing the person in front of you? This can apply to age and sexual orientation just as much of race A look at the viewpoint of Neurodiversity We miss out when we don't accept something because they don't come out a certain way [41:43 - 50:30] Perception's Struggle with Self-Identification Annemarie answers a few interesting questions related to diversity and racism Why is Barack Obama identified as the ‘first black president?' Perception vs. self-identification The One Drop rule - how history affects us today How does the One Drop rule play into US law and how does that affect us? When things are physically written down, they can't be ignored It's an opportunity to research and see the effects for yourself Do you see any possibility of us realizing race as a construct? Look for the ‘oneness' - what connects us? We all need the same things [50:31 - 58:22] Closing Segment Working at the pace of guidance If you go to fast then you may miss beautiful things Going to slow won't change anything Make room for guidance and, “be willing to take the pause” Listen or consider, and maybe course correct The only thing you can change is yourself “What is in this for me?” What we do next Practice awareness - practice the pause Be curious about the stories of others Research the implications of history Come to interactions with openness and humility How to connect with Annemarie Links below Final announcements Tweetable Quotes: “For me it's all about building community, building connection, building awareness so we can create greater sense of belonging and stronger communities.” - Annemarie Shrouder “Yes there are differences AND when we can live in that space, when we can be in that space of ‘BOTH, AND'… that's when I think we're going to be able to heal the divisions because we'll move forward in a different way together.” - Annemarie Shrouder “If you go too fast you miss stuff, and if you go too slow nothing changes. We need to work at the pace of guidance.” - Annemarie Shrouder Resources Mentioned: Links: The Power of the Pause MEA Online - Chip Conley Podcast: When Experience Meets Wisdom Seeing Without Eyes and Repurpose the Brain Good Thing, Bad Thing, Who Knows?

Harvey Seifter & Fred Mandell are the founders of Creating Futures That Work, a company that uses teaching creative arts to people as a way to foster and develop the ability to innovate and collaborate with others. Harvey and Fred share each of their unique leadership journeys and lessons and insights they gleaned along the way. Harvey speaks to his experience working with Orpheus, an orchestra made famous because it's a conductor-less orchestra. Fred shares his experience working in the Financial Services industry and how it has shifted to focus more on the consumer. They both discuss the parallels they observed between the creative process and how it impacts organizations and organizational decisions. Finally, they provide advice to executives on how to implement successful conflict resolution strategies across their organizations.  Key Takeaways: 01:38 – Today, we have a two-part episode where I'm speaking with Harvey Seifter & Fred Mandell, founders of Creating Futures That Work  08:45 – Seminal moments from Harvey and Fred's leadership journey  12:07 – Ensuring missions and shared visions get communicated to the team  16:53 – Insights gleaned from working in the conductor-less orchestra, Orpheus  24:03 – Fred speaks to how the Financial Services industry has evolved throughout the years  28:36 – Advice Harvey and Fred would give to executives on implementing conflict resolution strategies   Tweetable Quotes: “For me, theatre was an incredible laboratory into all kinds of things, but especially into leadership. The whole process of bringing a bunch of people together and taking a script and exploring it and understanding the motivations of different characters, that was a constant set of opportunities and challenges and learning experiences.” (09:03) (Harvey) “What I tried to do at the beginning of my relationship with the team, whether it was a newly formed team or an intact existing team, was share with them my aspiration that the work that we do together as a team would be the very best work experience they'd ever had.” (10:44) (Fred) “One of the hardest things is overcoming something that we've tended to culturally learn as a business society. And that is that you actually are helping people when you give them clear and direct feedback. And the best way to give feedback is to answer questions honestly, sincerely, directly and as helpfully as you can.” (20:03) (Harvey) “There has been, I believe, a positive shift in the relationship between the Financial Services providers and the consumer. The consumer today is much more empowered.” (25:25) (Fred) “Every time that you present an idea, you have tremendous opportunities to learn more and ultimately to make it better. And that's where feedback comes in.” (30:51) (Harvey) “It is harder to be a leader today than at any other time that I've been around. And that's because the general context within which leaders operate has become so disruptive, uncertain and complex. And the impulse in that environment too often, that I've been able to observe, is that leaders take the ‘ready, fire, aim' approach. In other words they jump to action. One of the things I would encourage would be not to act right away but to reflect.” (31:44) (Fred)  Links Mentioned:  Dino's Email – dino@al4ep.com  Dino's Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/al4edp/ (https://www.instagram.com/al4edp/)  Dino's Twitter – https://twitter.com/al4edp (https://twitter.com/al4edp)  Authentic Leadership for Everyday People Website – https://authenticleadershipforeverydaypeople.com/ (https://authenticleadershipforeverydaypeople.com/)  Authentic Leadership for Everyday People Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/al4ep/?ref=page_internal (https://www.facebook.com/al4ep/?ref=page_internal)  Creating Futures That Work Website –...

Episode Highlights: ● 00:57: – Brian Laundry describes the kind of work he does. ● 02:44 – What does disability insurance do? ● 06:14 – You almost position insurance as a hedge fund on their net-worth development. ● 07:00 – How does critical loss insurance work? ● 12:18 – What is the ‘option preference model?' ● 16:13 – Brian and Jason dig deeper in a discussion on disability insurance. ● 22:14 – What is the difference between own occupation insurance and regular occupation insurance? ● 31:49 – Acknowledge that any one of us can become disabled and out of work. ● 35:00 – What are some of the numbers related to critical illness insurance? ● 36:08 – We need coverage to protect our families. ● 37:42 – What are the odds of experiencing a critical illness event? 3 Key Points 1.

The biggest conditions for critical illness insurance are cancer, heart attack, and stroke.

Purchase him a bow, a rifle, or a shotgun.” – AB3 “I can personally count on one hand how many ties I own. That is because I absolutely despise dressing up.

So, you know you've got different grades of speed that you kind of look for in rabbit dogs and so, a rabbit will run in a circle.” – Delvin Terry “I've got the patience to train and work a dog. Some people don't have that patience to sit down and want to get in the grit with the dog. You got to do that when you are working any kind of dog.” – Delvin Terry “A  lot of young hunters, guys that are new to it, they try to rush the shot. They get too excited and rush the shot. The same with deer hunting you know? You're going to miss your shot because you're rushing.” – Delvin Terry   Resources Mentioned: The Bryant Land Country Podcast Follow Bryant Land on social media: Linkedin | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube Delvin Terry: Facebook Instagram  The Houndsmen of America Social Media: Instagram Facebook Buy Apparel from The Houndsmen of America: shop.spreadshirt.com/the-houndsmen-of-america1

During this episode of A Richer Life, host Rich Weingart speaks with Christa Skov about facing challenges and building resilience in grieving the loss of her husband. Christa shares her story in a generous way that will inspire and uplift those who may be facing similar trauma and loss.    Episode Highlights:  The song “No Hard Feelings” by the Avett Brothers is meaningful to Christa because it reminds her of the way her late husband, Matt, lived his life. They got married and moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado where they started a family.  During their pregnancy they found out their child would likely have a defect involving her esophagus. It was a long process teaching their daughter how to eat. A year later Christa realized she was suffering from depression and sought help. Her goal was to get to a place where she would feel healthy enough to have another baby. Being outside feeds Christa's soul. There is so much wonder and beauty in the world even though we all face challenges. Christa's experience as a new mother helped her build resilience. Resilience is something you need to build and consciously think about. They had their second daughter and moved back to Marin where Matt grew up. Matt started having bad headaches and was eventually diagnosed with a very rare cancer. One of the last things Matt did was to design an owl party for his daughter. Richard describes a prayer circle Matt attended for a friend's daughter near the end of his life. Christa thanks her family and Matt's family as well as the entire community that has supported her as she has rebuilt her life. Grief does overwhelm you at times but sometimes you have to allow it. Christa's motivation is her children. She wants to create a life that resembles all the hopes and dreams she and Matt had talked about. Being open to help was very important to her. It's easy to get wrapped up in anxiety. What has helped Christa is to take things day by day. Be open to your community, allow grief, and seek help. Therapy gave Christa tools and resources for how to deal with building a new life. Grief can come and go in intense waves. Your heart can grow and love more. We can always continue to honor those that aren't with us anymore.   3 Key Points: It's critical to build up your resilience as you face life's challenges. Accept help and rely on your community through the grieving process. Keep an open heart and allow your heart to grow.   Tweetable Quotes: “For me, being outside, whether it's taking a walk or going on a hike or doing whatever I can to kind of see the beauty of the world has always been something that has helped me.” – Christa Skov “Building resilience is something that, you know, it's not just given to you. It's something that you have to actively pursue.” – Christa Skov “One of the conversations that Matt and I did have was wanting to have our kids have the lives that we had always talked about, even though I would have to do it on my own." – Christa Skov “With loss...you can't get over it. But you can learn to live with it.” – Christa Skov “Your heart grows...it's about me opening up and growing and allowing that.” – Christa Skov   Resources Mentioned: “No Hard Feelings” by The Avett Brothers Dana Farber Institute
