If you have kids, and especially if you have kids who are nearing double digit age (like us!) then you've probably asked yourself, “When DO we want to give our kids a phone? When is the best time?” Well even though Neil and I would like to stick with “never,” we know it's an inevitable crossroad, so today I'm sitting down with Bill Brady, CEO and founder Troomi Wireless, to talk alllll about the nitty gritty of giving kids phones and most importantly, how to do it safely. We check off all my questions, including when it's necessary and how to make sure you're doing it safely. I also grill Bill pretty hard on just how safe his phone is, whether it's hackable, what the workarounds are that kids might discover, and I don't hold back on some differing opinions about devices, social media, and impact on kids. I think you're really going to enjoy this episode and if you do find yourself convinced you'll want a Troomi phone for your kids (now or down the road), Bill was nice enough to give us the discount code mintarrow for $50 off any of their phones.

Migos BIG Interview, Doja Cat ICYMI and When Do you Split The Bill?
Hello you beautiful listener. Welcome to the show after the long needed break. I decided to do something a little different. For the next few episodes, I will be talking about subjects that matter to us, that no one gave a manual for, that really they forgot to add in the school curriculum. Now normally, I script my podcasts episodes, but for most of this season we are going to speak from the heart and share perspectives (NB: You may not at all agree with me, but a different view point goes on to add to your ken, be open minded) Other than that, I want this to be as intimate as possible, that you may really get a side of me that really is engaging relatable and all the same fun. So enjoy. When Do you know that you are ready to start dating? Let's dive in.

When Do see the results of Success, but Focus on the Progress
Need a business license? One of the first places we stop when getting started is the business license. But, what kind of licenses do you need? Where do you go to get them? Today I will deal with these and other related questions to help you get your business out of bureaucracy mode. [Tweet "Having a license does not make you a business ... revenue does #entrepreneur #businesslicense"] Business licenses are a tax and not directly related to your legal structure (sole proprietorship, C-corp, S-corp, LLC, etc). Note - This is not legal advice, but common sense views from those who have been in the trenches. General Rules of thumb about Business Licenses Solopreneurs rarely need them Creatives rarely need them Home based businesses rarely need them Often when you first start you can get away without them. When DO you need a business license before you start? If you fall into one of the following, you need to check out licenses before you get started. Regulated services such as a day care, plumber, lawyer, doctor, food services, etc. These are often regulated by a state board or agency. Storefronts that will have traffic such as stores, offices with lots of visitors, repair shops, etc. Other Licenses and Taxes that Might Impact You Additional city, county, and state requirements Trade licenses - plumbers, electricians, etc. They vary by location. Home Based Business Licenses (Yes some governments tax you for this) Sales Tax Health and Safety Sign permits Construction permits Home Owners Associations (HOA) - not technically a license or tax The Painless Business License Process First, find out what you need. YOU can do this the hard way or the easy way. Hard way - Start with the Small Business Administration (SBA) and then contact your various government agencies. Check out this chart for contacts you can make to get you started. Make the calls and ask the questions. Easier Way - Contact your attorney or CPA (if you have one) and they will often do it for you - for a fee of course. Easiest Way - Legal Zoom offers a one stop service that gives you the forms you need. Just buy their package and fill out the forms and pay the fees and you should be good to go. Then buy them. If you need anything that is highly regulated - such as trade permits etc, then get them now. If you just need a standard business license, then wait until you have done about $1000 worth of business first. That way you will actually know what business you are in, and you will also have a sense of whether or not you want to change it.

What: Now that I have the why what do I do with it? Communications. Please define for us in this context? * Guides the course of what we'll do this program. Layout for us a simple communications plan? * Segmented audiences by role and disposition. * Must iterate assessment and communications over the project. * Repetition matters. 7 times over 3 mediums * What message are we sending? What format does it take? Audience to receive? When? Do we learn and adapt the communications as we go? * Communication plans adapt from building awareness in the beginning to taking action at the end. * Beginning: You need to know what's up. * End: You need to take action. * Peaks and valleys of a project will address changing conditions of the program. Who does this typically play out in a real project? (We’ll save that for next time)
