Ellen Rohr is the President of Zoom Drain, a company that provides sewer and drain cleaning services. Ellen started out in the industry as a plumber's wife before unexpectedly getting involved in her husband's company. Since starting the Zoom Drain franchise, she has occupied a number of positions, including Manager, Vice President, and now President.  In addition to her role at Zoom Drain, Ellen is on a mission to help people learn business basics and focus on the few things that make the biggest impact. She's written four best-selling business books, including How Much Should I Charge? and The Bare Bones Biz Plan, and she hosts two podcasts, PHCPPros: Behind the Wall and Unclogged: A Zoom Drain Podcast. Ellen often shares her experience through seminars, podcasts, and industry trade magazines like HuffPost and PHCPPros. In this episode… Getting your finances right is a major factor in business success. However, business owners often have difficulty managing all the moving parts — especially when finances aren't their forte. Luckily, financial literacy expert Ellen Rohr is here to share her best tips on everything from finances to franchising.  Like many ambitious business owners, Ellen is no stranger to financial blunders. Early in her career, she joined her husband's plumbing business and was greeted with messy bookkeeping — and no solution in sight. Instead of succumbing to the financial hardships, Ellen buckled down and learned everything she could about finances. Now, as she helps other business owners get control of their finances, she shares an important reminder: once you learn the basics, it will take you as far as you want to go in business.  In this episode of the Multiply You Podcast, Austin Clark has an exciting and insightful conversation with Ellen Rohr, the President of Zoom Drain. Ellen talks about common financial mistakes in business, tips for pricing and attracting customers at a premium level, and why it's so important to follow your vision — and not anyone else's.

Robert with Cowboy Wisdom talks about how do I deceive me myself and I? Through beliefs mindsets and stuck in my day to day thinking. I brashly asked me this question… Do I have past or ingrained imprints activated in the now? Promptly my sassy soul asked how is history taught for control? How do I allow my past to be my history stealing my dreams?

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-343 – Susie Chan – Endurance Runner  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4343.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-343 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Today we talk with author UK Ultra-runner Susie Chan, and by ‘we' I mean Alex.  Alex caught up with her and I did the editing.  Susie's story has all the elements that we see when we talk about the transformational power of endurance sports.  She was living her life,not in a good place physically or mentally.  She ran a race, caught the bug and then dove quickly into the deep end with ultras and stage races – reporting it all on social media (as is often the case these days).  I love the story she tells about not having even run a marathon yet and signing up for the Marathon de Sables – Which is a 7-day ultra stage race across the Sahara.  We've talked to people who have run this on the show – like Ray Zahab – it's definitely not for an amateur.  They lost two guys there one year in a sand storm.  There you go! If you take Susie as your data point then all you have to do is wake up one morning and start running ultras.  Easy peasy.  In section one I'm going to talk about what to do when you are struggling in a run.  Because I've been struggling recently.  In section two we'll chat a bit about telling a story into the future and using that to create a different outcome.  … Happy 4th of July!  I stayed home over the long weekend here in the states. Didn't do much. Got a couple runs in and a long bike ride.  Hung out with my family. Unclogged a couple drains in the house.  Yes, I have basic plumbing skills.  I might be the last generation of men who can do a little plumbing, a little carpentry, a little forestry and whatever else needs to be done.  That being said, the stuff we used to learn from our fathers' you can now get from YouTube.  Monday, on the fourth of July itself Teresa and I dug out my old canoe (see what I did there?) and took it out onto the Concord River.  We put in in Bedford and paddled up to the Old North Bridge in Concord. That's where Minuteman National Park is.  That whole section of the river is park so it's quite arboreal.  It was nice.  We talked about Thoreau.  One of his books was “” and other stuff.  Not as hard as running down the Grand Canyon but a very nice few hours in the sun.  … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.  We do this by offering a membership option where members get Access To Exclusive Members Only audio Member only race reports, essays and other bits just for you!

Many waves are there agitated by the wind, keeping nature fresh, the spray blowing in your face, reeds and rushes waving ; ducks by the hundred, all uneasy in the surf, in the raw wind, just ready to rise, and now going off with a clatter and a whistling like riggers straight for Labrador, flying against the stiff gale with reefed wings, or else circling round first, with all their paddles briskly moving, just over the surf, to reconnoitre you before they leave these parts ; gulls wheeling overhead, muskrats swimming for dear life, wet and cold, with no fire to warm them by that you know of, their labored homes rising here and there like haystacks ; and countless mice and moles and winged titmice along the sunny, windy shore; cranberries tossed on the waves and heaving up on the beach, their little red skiffs beating about among the alders ; - such healthy natural tumult as proves the last day is not yet at hand.” HDT On with the show. Section one – When easy runs are hard - Voices of reason – the conversation Susie Chan Hi I'm Susie and I like to run. I have run races from 1 mile to 100 miles. I began running quite late in life to get a bit healthier. Since stumbling over my first finish line in a race in 2010 I have gone on to run thousands of miles in training and in races.  My favourite races are multistage ultras, these are races over multiple days and miles. Highlights of my races have included two Marathon des Sables (setting off with the elites in 2015) Thames Path 100 and Boston Marathon. I do the odd bit of cycling and swimming too. I'm happiest running with my friends on the trails. Contact me for public speaking, kit chat and any questions! UPCOMING EVENTS: Beyond the Ultimate's Jungle Ultra Gevena Marathon 2016 Sierra Leone Marathon 2016 Pacer at London Marathon 2016 North Downs Way 50 New York Marathon 2016 Winter Wonderland Section two Telling your story out into the future - Outro Well my friends you decided to get up off the couch and run across the Sahara Desert to the end of Episode 4-343 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Hope you're enjoying your summers.  Or your winter if you're in the other side of the planet.  If you were on Jupiter where NASA just successfully dropped the Juno probe into orbit your summer would be 1083 days long.  And the Europeans would still take most of it off.  I'm close to pulling the trigger on a trail marathon in Indianapolis for July 31st.  Even though I've been feeling less-than-awesome in my running lately I figure I can just casually run it for fun.  I don't have an Indy Marathon yet and both my sisters live there.   We have an office there too.  I need to get out! Do something! Then I'm going to do the Wapack Trail race.  That's Labor Day weekend.  You should come up and do it.  It's 18 miles on technical mountain trails.  A real hoot.  I guarantee it's different than anything else you've ever run! Then I have the Spartan Beast.  Which I'm not excited about but I'll do it.  And finally I told coach I'd run the Portland marathon with him in October.  I did the Hood to Coast relay out there last year but I don't think that counts as a state marathon? … So, like I said I've really felt like crap in my runs.  Basically since I had pneumonia in May.  I'm tired and my paces are off.  I noticed my HR spiking a bit at the end of runs.  I called my cardiologist and they asked me to wear a 24 hour monitor.  I've been wearing it for a couple weeks now.  It's a giant pain in the …  It consists of three electrodes that you stick to your chest.  One above your left breast and then another two, one under each breast.  I'd post a picture but no one needs to see that.  Oh, the horror.  Then the three wires run down to a small pendant that you keep in your pocket or clip to your belt.  It's like the size of a pager.  (For you millennials, pagers were texting devices before we had cell phones. In old movies from the 80's and 90's you'll see doctors wearing them.) The companion piece is an android cell phone. The pendant track smy heart and sends any weirdness to the cell phone via Bluetooth.  The cell phone then shoots that data off to the main office – where someone is watching.  This is all well and good but I don't think the designers had me in mind when they designed the rig.  When I'm trail running this time of year I sweat.  A lot.  I've managed to sweat off the electrodes in a few of my runs.  Which is unfortunate because if there is anything nefarious going on with my heart it's going to be at the end of a run.  I'm working with it.  I found a way to run the wires up through the neck of my shirt and clip them to my camelback for yesterday's 2-hour sweat fest and that kept the electrodes in place for the whole outing.  I don't think they are seeing anything.  Which is good news and bad news.  Good news may be it's not the heart.  Bad news is now I have to figure out what it is! … I got a couple new pair of shoes too.  I bought a new pair of trail Mizunos.  I've never owned a pair of mizunos.  They are basic neutral cushion shoes with an aggressive tread.  The toebox was a little tight but my foot usually wins that battle.  I bought a pair of Hoka Challenger 2's for the road.  I was trying to break in a pair of New Balance that I had picked up dirt cheap at the outlet store but they just weren't working.  They were New Balances version of a Hoka-like shoe.  Light and responsive but I couldn't get used to the heel drop.  I got the Hokas which are last year's model for $84 and I know they work for me. Like running on clouds! Because no matter how crappy your training is going, you can always use a new pair of shoes, right? Susie is a great example of someone seizing control of her life. She became the captain of her ship.  We all have that capability.  No matter whether we are 20 or 60.  Whether your boat is a cloth coracle or a party yacht.  It's all good. Thoreau in his canoe.  You and I in our dinghies.  Grab an oar or a paddle and I'll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Since stumbling over my first finish line in a race in 2010 I have gone on to run thousands of miles in training and in races.  My favourite races are multistage ultras, these are races over multiple days and miles. Highlights of my races have included two Marathon des Sables (setting off with the elites in 2015) Thames Path 100 and Boston Marathon. I do the odd bit of cycling and swimming too. I'm happiest running with my friends on the trails. Contact me for public speaking, kit chat and any questions! UPCOMING EVENTS: Beyond the Ultimate's Jungle Ultra Gevena Marathon 2016 Sierra Leone Marathon 2016 Pacer at London Marathon 2016 North Downs Way 50 New York Marathon 2016 Winter Wonderland Section two Telling your story out into the future - Outro Well my friends you decided to get up off the couch and run across the Sahara Desert to the end of Episode 4-343 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Hope you’re enjoying your summers.  Or your winter if you’re in the other side of the planet.  If you were on Jupiter where NASA just successfully dropped the Juno probe into orbit your summer would be 1083 days long.  And the Europeans would still take most of it off.  I’m close to pulling the trigger on a trail marathon in Indianapolis for July 31st.  Even though I’ve been feeling less-than-awesome in my running lately I figure I can just casually run it for fun.  I don’t have an Indy Marathon yet and both my sisters live there.   We have an office there too.  I need to get out! Do something! Then I’m going to do the Wapack Trail race.  That’s Labor Day weekend.  You should come up and do it.  It’s 18 miles on technical mountain trails.  A real hoot.  I guarantee it’s different than anything else you’ve ever run! Then I have the Spartan Beast.  Which I’m not excited about but I’ll do it.  And finally I told coach I’d run the Portland marathon with him in October.  I did the Hood to Coast relay out there last year but I don’t think that counts as a state marathon? … So, like I said I’ve really felt like crap in my runs.  Basically since I had pneumonia in May.  I’m tired and my paces are off.  I noticed my HR spiking a bit at the end of runs.  I called my cardiologist and they asked me to wear a 24 hour monitor.  I’ve been wearing it for a couple weeks now.  It’s a giant pain in the …  It consists of three electrodes that you stick to your chest.  One above your left breast and then another two, one under each breast.  I’d post a picture but no one needs to see that.  Oh, the horror.  Then the three wires run down to a small pendant that you keep in your pocket or clip to your belt.  It’s like the size of a pager.  (For you millennials, pagers were texting devices before we had cell phones. In old movies from the 80’s and 90’s you’ll see doctors wearing them.) The companion piece is an android cell phone. The pendant track smy heart and sends any weirdness to the cell phone via Bluetooth.  The cell phone then shoots that data off to the main office – where someone is watching.  This is all well and good but I don’t think the designers had me in mind when they designed the rig.  When I’m trail running this time of year I sweat.  A lot.  I’ve managed to sweat off the electrodes in a few of my runs.  Which is unfortunate because if there is anything nefarious going on with my heart it’s going to be at the end of a run.  I’m working with it.  I found a way to run the wires up through the neck of my shirt and clip them to my camelback for yesterday’s 2-hour sweat fest and that kept the electrodes in place for the whole outing.  I don’t think they are seeing anything.  Which is good news and bad news.  Good news may be it’s not the heart.  Bad news is now I have to figure out what it is! … I got a couple new pair of shoes too.  I bought a new pair of trail Mizunos.  I’ve never owned a pair of mizunos.  They are basic neutral cushion shoes with an aggressive tread.  The toebox was a little tight but my foot usually wins that battle.  I bought a pair of Hoka Challenger 2’s for the road.  I was trying to break in a pair of New Balance that I had picked up dirt cheap at the outlet store but they just weren’t working.  They were New Balances version of a Hoka-like shoe.  Light and responsive but I couldn’t get used to the heel drop.  I got the Hokas which are last year’s model for $84 and I know they work for me. Like running on clouds! Because no matter how crappy your training is going, you can always use a new pair of shoes, right? Susie is a great example of someone seizing control of her life. She became the captain of her ship.  We all have that capability.  No matter whether we are 20 or 60.  Whether your boat is a cloth coracle or a party yacht.  It’s all good. Thoreau in his canoe.  You and I in our dinghies.  Grab an oar or a paddle and I’ll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Why? He's funny, passionate, generously spirited, smart as hell, and a great cook. So we hope you'll enjoy Unclogged, Mario Batali as you've never seen him before. —Ed Levine The Takeaway Mario says: "What you want to eat when you eat a bowl of pasta ... is pasta." "The way that they refer to their sauce in Italy is condimento—condiment—and when you think about a hot dog or hamburger, the condiment is something that kind of greases it up, but it never overtakes the main event of the hot dog or the hamburger." "Americans overdress their pasta 99.9 percent of the time. It should never be a bowl of soup. It should be noodles, with a little stuff."
