Podcasts about wanderwell

Note to the reader: Team Habits, my most recent book, was released one year ago this week. You might also be aware of Productive Flourishing's sister publication, Better Team Habits, a spin-off of the book. We've had incredible moments over on BTH in the past year. For those not subscribed to both publications I'd like to celebrate the book's anniversary by sharing with you a singular podcast episode I sat down to do with my friend Kate Tyson on “fixing the plane while we fly it.” I think it will prove fruitful for PF readers too — for your current or future teams. — Charlie Many of us would likely agree on the fact that the dominant, central power structures that make up our system need some reform. That goes for institutions large and small, whether we're talking about a particular startup company or the global economy.But what is change supposed to look like, and how does it come about?If I could offer one of the basic tenets from Team Habits, it's that we start the change process by first shifting the way we relate to each other — in our teams and at work. This episode originally aired on Kate Tyson's podcast Boss Talks: Whiskey Fridays, in which she and I dive into how cultural change is a long-term play, and why better team habits are a critical component of the process.Topics We Explored* The challenges of leading and effecting change in businesses, particularly in the context of social and economic change, and the importance of engaging with the 'messy middle'.* Looking for 'subversive simplicity' in our lives, business, and management decisions — which often challenges conventional wisdom on growth and productivity.* The disconnect between workplace culture and the caretaking reality at home of many team members.* How to address these and other issues of power and balance in the workplace we'll need as a whole a more collaborative approach to decision-making and team bonding* Leading and forming teams is never easy.* Why by acknowledging issues and addressing power dynamics head-on, we have a chance to avoid conflicts or deal with them effectively.* How prioritizing relationship-building with our teammates ultimately creates change and trustThis episode touches on many topics I explore at length in my book, Team Habits: How Small Actions Lead to Extraordinary Results.If Productive Flourishing adds value to your inbox, consider a paid or pro subscription for access to the full archive, monthly community coaching calls, and more. About Kate TysonKate Tyson is a multi-disciplinary business owner and rebellious spirit, and the owner and director of Wanderwell, a consulting and bookkeeping practice that grows thriving small businesses, while investigating new models for being in business. Wanderwell integrates financial expertise with an empathic, vision-forward approach, and leads with the belief that businesses can help create a more just world that centers people, community, and the environment.Episode Timestamps[0:00] Leadership, power sharing, and social change. What does it take to shift from a single-leader model to a democratic leadership approach? Many companies and leaders struggle with the challenge of moving towards shared leadership without losing direction. Businesses can be platforms for social and economic change, and as a result, grapple with the complexities of dismantling oppressive structures within capitalist frameworks. How do we foster collaboration and ensure respect within the workplace while striving for excellence?[5:28] Cultural norms in the workplace. The workplace can be a site of systems change and social justice, given the growth of decentralized micro-capitalist businesses in the 2000s. Leaders need to prioritize team well-being to avoid perpetuating negative aspects of the dominant culture. Charlie shares how to recognize and dismantle harmful cultural norms — and how leaders can become aware of and shift away from perpetuating negative cultural patterns through reflection and awareness.[11:58] Burnout & Team Dynamics. Charlie explains how burnout and revolving doors (of employees) can be symptoms of how white supremacy and toxic hierarchy affect businesses and our experience in the workplace. Common assumptions about productivity in the workplace are often deeply flawed. Cranking tasks out faster is only one dimension of productivity. Being a leader or owner may mean challenging norms about pressure and invisible expectations (especially for emotional and social labor). We want team members to take more ownership and yet we need to share the burden — with self-care and compassion. That means looking at system issues, rather than finding individual blame.[20:53] Decision-making and mutual care. If we want to care for the humans in our businesses we need to think about things like language. But it can't be words alone. We might want to look at team habits about how we approach one another — do we approach situations with empathy and avoid making assumptions? If there's a wider collective issue on the team, those are things that training and clear communication can go far in addressing, especially when creating a new team. A central idea in Team Habits is about levels of decision-making for team members, and the importance of communication and context. [30:34] Democratizing leadership and employee ownership. Kate shares personal experience with Quaker organizations, highlighting consensus-driven decision-making and anti-authoritarianism. The discussion turns to deeper work of helping people decolonize themselves, including employee equity and ownership pathways. Open book management (OBM) is one approach to doing that. [36:11] Power dynamics in the workplace. Salaries are one challenge that come up in disrupting traditional power dynamics (and is a topic addressed by OBM.) Transparency is one approach to disrupting the secrecy and taboo around salaries — while it's fair to acknowledge that power dynamics in organizations are complex, involving individual and institutional power.[39:45] Interpersonal vs. Institutional Power. Interpersonal power is a hugely important topic for teams. Charlie emphasizes the need to put more care back into work relationships between teammates to build trust and support. If one person steps on another's toe, it can lead to mistrust and friction, but also one individual might choose institutional power as a means to solve the problem, reinforcing the paradigm and creating a triangle of intervention.[45:08] Care vs. institutional power, and difficult conversations. Teams at some point are forced to choose between institutional power or actual care. Team members must be willing to have difficult conversations. Inconsistent communication and delegation practices bring about tension. [51:22] Breeding respect and autonomy. Respect is crucial, for everyone on the team, but also those in leadership positions, even in anti-hierarchical organizations. Leaders need unscheduled time to think and make decisions, respecting their unique function and autonomy. Kate discusses the importance of intentionally designed structures in anarchist movements, citing the Goldilocks problem.[58:06] Team habits, meeting and collaboration. Changing one type of team habit has ripple effects on others, like eliminating bad meetings. Relational work is not separate from business work, since often it's our relationships that are most important to us as humans. This is a public episode.

Aloha Wanderwell (1906-1996) was a globetrotting explorer and filmmaker who traveled around the world–literally. Her escapades earned her the title of the world's most widely traveled woman. This month, we're talking about movers and shakers: dancers, stuntwomen, martial artists, and other pioneering women who've used their physical prowess to shake things up. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, Abbey Delk, and Alex Jhamb Burns.

What's in a name? When it comes to Aloha and Walter Wanderwell, their name said it all: they drove across four continents in the 1920s before many places even had roads! Aloha was known as “the Amelia Earhart of the open road,” while Walter was known as “a scam artist.” They survived war-torn territories, bandits, plane crashes, and even J. Edgar Hoover in their quest to see - and film - the world. But the Captain's schemes and lies eventually got him murdered, placing Aloha herself among the suspects!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Segíteni jó dolog, de nem mindegy, hogy hogyan. Lehet az embernek nemes a célja, de van, hogy az sem elég. Szóval ne menj, vagy ha mégis, akkor csináld jól! Nem egy egyszerű témáról van szó, de úgy érzem sikerült elég jól körbejárni a problémát Almay Rékával, aki 3 hónapot önkénteskedett Kenyában, miközben egyre inkább azt érezte, hogy nincs jó helyen. Az igazi felismerés viszont csak itthon érte, amikor rájött, hogy legtöbbet úgy segített volna, ha el sem indul.

Foi a primeira mulher a dar a volta ao mundo dirigindo. Exploradora, cineasta, aviadora e aventureira de marca maior, Wanderwell realizou sua jornada durante a década de 1920, enquanto ainda era adolescente.

What can you do with your business if you look beyond your individual needs and your individual success? That's a really exciting question to me. What kind of impact on the collective could this business have? How I can I use this business to meet others' needs, too? These questions don't have many easy answers. But they're fertile ground for imagining different ways of doing business. It's with this in mind that I want to share my conversation with Kate Strathmann. Kate and I share many similar concerns about the state of online business and the even the broader small business, freelance, and gig economies. As always with my conversations with Kate, this might be confronting at times. You might be nodding along, digging on what we're saying, and then all of a sudden feel a twinge of recognition that isn't as nice. But none of this is aimed at your personal responsibility for where we've gotten as a market or even the things you've done in your business. Our goal is to explore some big, hard questions about how we do business and how we can better take care of each other. Stay tuned to hear us talk about the messages we consume that make it hard to imagine things a different way, why focusing on individual success causes us to devalue the care work that goes into making our businesses work, and why small business owners feel trapped between the worker class and the owner class. Plus, Kate offers some powerful questions for reframing the potential of your business and gets super pragmatic about the choices we can make without becoming a martyr for the sake of positive change.

One of the things that puts people off about hiring is this idea that they’re going to have to micromanage their contractors or employees. But if you hire the right people and have the right structures in place, you may find that you’re able to lead a team without guiding their every move. Today, I’m talking with Kate Strathmann about the people and structures she’s put in place at her bookkeeping and consultancy practice, Wanderwell, that have helped her lead a team without micromanaging them. We talk about her hiring process, about how she handles employee compensation and team communication and about why she approaches everything in her business through the lens of providing flexibility and great employee care.  Learn more about The Better Than Big Intensive: https://www.ashleygartland.com/the-simplified-intensive   Learn more about Ashley: https://www.ashleygartland.com/   Follow Ashley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleygartland/   Learn more about Kate Strathmann: https://wanderwellconsulting.com/   Follow Kate on Instagram: instagram.com/_wanderwell_

This show is called What Works for a reason. Sometimes it's a declaration: this is what worked for this small business. And often, it's a question, "What works?" Today's episode is very much a question, many questions, really: What works when it comes to selling when you want to avoid manipulative or exploitative practices? What works when your values conflict with many of the best practices of selling online but you still want people to buy your stuff? What works when it comes to sales in a business that is actively anti-racist and anti-capitalist? And even more bluntly: Can you even sell things without causing harm or perpetuating harmful systems? My friend Kate Strathmann is the founder of Wanderwell, a bookkeeping and consulting firm that grows thriving businesses while investigating new models for being in business. Recently, Kate took a bit of a detour from how she's used to building her business, which is 90% referral based and fueled by deep relationship- and community-building. She decided to offer a small group program called the Equitable Business Incubator as a way of exploring anti-capitalist business practices and how they apply to the small businesses we're building. To fill the program, Kate need to sell differently. Which led her to asking the question: Can you even sell things as a anti-capitalist? While that might not be your specific question, I have a feeling that you too have wondering how you can effectively sell your offers without causing harm, perpetuating harmful systems, or damaging relationships. And that's why I knew Kate and I needed to explore this topic on the show. This is a conversation about what a kinder, less harmful sales process could look like—and it probably contains more questions than answers. But I'm confident those questions can help you find the answers that are right for you and the sales system that you want to build to make your business stronger. We start out by defining what we're really talking about when we talk about capitalism and anti-capitalism. Then, Kate shares how the Equitable Business Incubator came to be and how she ended up selling it. And then we dig into what makes many of the sales formulas and best practices being taught today problematic—and how to think differently to create your own alternative practices. Now, let's take a look at what works for creating less harmful sales systems!

Hey everyone, I know things are really hard and uncertain for many of us right now and I wanted to say that I am not podcasting because it's business as usual, but because I am really committed to staying in dialogue and providing things that I hope are useful to you at this time. Today I am sending a really cool conversation with Kate Strathmann of Wanderwell Consulting your way - we talked about so many things that I believe are really important when it comes to building resilient businesses grounded in our politics and values. Here are some of the topics we touched on: Creating a solid financial foundation for small businesses Being okay with not being employable Being led by our values and meeting business partners with empathy Building resilient local networks An expert in translating big, creative, passionate ideas into sustainable reality, Kate honed fierce negotiation skills over years living in India; learned the true meaning of the buzzword “sustainable” while organic farming in Minnesota; and has developed an intuitive, flexible approach to her work with over twenty years of yoga study practice. She now lends her breadth of experience to shepherding ideas from napkin sketches to robust balance sheets and emboldening owners to exceed their own expectations while challenging the status quo. As the founder and director of Wanderwell, Kate leads a team in providing a unique combination of grounded financial practices and human-centered strategy and business design to a motley crew of visionary, creative small businesses. Known for combining irreverence and humor with jedi-like listening skills, Kate lends these skills to organizational development, community-minded strategy, and thinking and writing on new economies, anti-capitalist business practices, and reminding us all to find more ease in our businesses. wanderwellconsulting.com ---- This is also an invitation to join me for a free workshops on resilience in business and ways to take your offerings online at this time. I'll share some useful tools and resources that might help you take your practice online and work with the uncertainty we're in a little better and there will be plenty of time for connection and questions too.

It's been a little over two weeks since… well we can't really say since (*COUGH* Heather + some others may not be caught up yet)...happened on GOT. It's also been two years since we had babies and have two on the way. We're not sure we're really recovered from either yet… Whether you're battling the why from the finale of your latest show, a sick Taco Tuesday hangover or adjusting to mom life, recovery from even positive things like a vacation has you wanting a vacation. Today on the podcast we're talking about recovery mode, balance and how implementing rituals can help keep your flow so you don't end up in overload. We loved the founder of Wanderwell, Cait's guest blog about burnout.

Carlee Brignole is on a mission to empower kids through mindfulness practices. Her afterschool program, Mindful Energy, will equip kids with the tools they need to tackle life's biggest challenges, including stress management, depression, and anxiety. Growing up, Carlee didn't have the support system she needed to effectively manage the stresses of life and it's her goal to be who she needed when she was a kid. Listen to this episode to learn how Carlee is putting together the curriculum, what inspired her to create Mindful Energy in the first place, and how her journey has shaped her into an activator of change. Carlee is one of my best friends. We met at yoga teacher training in 2015 and have been besties ever since. 10% of Wander Well Podcast + Wander Well Academy revenue will go to getting Mindful Energy started through their operational and promotional costs. Wander Well has always been bigger than me, and now it's being used to empower the next generation as well!

Vitina is living the entrepreneurial dream. She's figured out how to combine her love of travel and wellness and make a career out of it. Cool, eh. But that wasn't always the case. She basically had to have a breakdown of sorts - or breakthrough - in order to see that the life she was living for years, wasn't fulfilling her any longer. At the time of this transformation, she had been working in advertising in the music industry - working over 80+ hours a week - and consistently going to the best events and parties in town. To a lot of outsiders, she was living a dream life even then. But it's true - if you're doing something that doesn't align with what your soul craves, then there will be an end point. Her journey to co-founding a wellness business, Wanderwell, and her own blog, WanderfulSoul, mirrors a bit of an Eat, Pray, Love storyline. She left the hustle of city life behind, for a month in an Ashram and five months of travel. It's also where she got to know herself again and her true desires and passion. And somewhat serendipitously, around the same time, she met her co-founder. In this episode, you'll hear how you too, can get back to your own passions, quiet the noise, and create a life that is fulfilling and profitable, so you can continue to do what you love without compromise.

Kate Strathmann’s company Wanderwell Consulting pays homage to Aloha Wanderwell, the first woman to travel around the world by car during the 1920s -- and a woman who continued traversing the planet for the rest of her life. That same adventurous, quirky, and unconventional spirit threads through everything at Wanderwell, from how Kate hires and leads to how she works with clients in a “pretty off-beat, feelings-oriented, and very non-traditional kind of way,” she says. The post EP 153: More Leading, Less Managing with Wanderwell Founder Kate Strathmann appeared first on What Works.

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more. Today we're talking about how to manifest your best life. If you have no idea what manifestation is, don't worry. My friend Katie Jones explains everything, how it worked for her, how she's helped me find my path and how you can apply it to your own life. Katie is a meditation and manifestation coach originally from Austin, Texas, but she now splits her time between Costa Rica and Truckee, California. She did the desk job life for about a year, then quickly realized it wasn't for her and so she began pouring all her time and energy into creating the location independent lifestyle she truly wanted. Katie is also the host of the Wander Well podcast, which empowers women to live their best life by sharing stories of nomadic women who already are. The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state. She’ll be opening a second Hippie Haven in Salem, Oregon in Feb 2021.
