It's a brand new week of GTWM and no better way to usher in this Monday than with a little Jay Kent to warm up the show with a song before we get into some calls. Mo is feeling a bit down cuz his favorite team lost in the Super Bowl yesterday but that mood can quickly shift with some live music and interesting calls. Let's check them out: Caller #1 is Hannah who is 33yrs old from Virginia, USA. When Hannah was a teenager she had a one night stand with a 38yr old expat in Manila. She was a bit drunk and he ejaculated inside her while having unprotected sex. She ended up getting pregnant and he has been denying that he is the father for the past 14 years. Caller #2 is May who is 32yrs old from Bicol. May recently gave birth and she didn't expect the cost of having a child to be this high. With Covid taking a toll on her household income, she wants to take on a second job but needs to ask Mo's opinion on whether it's a good idea to squeeze in more work hours considering she has a newborn.

When Hannah’s husband dies, she has no way to care for her two sons.

Do you believe God listens to your prayers? Do you listen for God’s voice? As a young boy, the prophet Samuel heard God calling to him in the middle of the night. This dramatic moment prompted our theme for this month’s study of the book of 1 Samuel: Listening for God’s Call. Although named for the prophet Samuel, this book focuses on David, Israel’s most famous king. For both men, listening to God’s voice would play an important part of directing their path. Samuel’s mother, Hannah, was one of two wives to Elkanah, an Ephraimite priest from the hill country of Ephraim. Hannah was probably Elkanah’s first wife. Elkanah may have taken Peninnah as a second wife, an accepted practice in those days, to ensure that he would produce an heir. Peninnah’s ability to have children, combined with Elkanah’s obvious preference for Hannah, resulted in a painful rivalry between the two women. Hannah was subjected to daily torment, not only because of her situation but also because of Peninnah’s cruel words. Elkanah’s blundering attempt to offer comfort did not make Hannah feel any better because it was the Lord who had closed her womb (v. 6). Even Eli, the old priest who sat outside the tabernacle in Shiloh, added insult to injury when he mistook Hannah’s agonized prayer for drunken mumbling (v. 14). When Hannah explained her actions, Eli’s harsh criticism changed to blessing. The only one who had nothing to say in this narrative was God. He was not talking; He was listening (vv. 19–20). Hannah acknowledged this in the name she gave to her son, which may be understood as a pun on a Hebrew phrase meaning “asked of God.” >> In this account, Hannah speaks to God more than anyone else. He is a God who speaks to His servants. But the first glimpse we have of Him in this book is of the God who hears. Be assured that God hears your prayers, and He is listening.

When Hannah calls it quits with Luke, Paige and Amanda are thrilled to get their friend back, and Amanda really lays into Luke exposing his F-Boy tendencies in that he slept with another girl just a week ago. And a day trip to the apple orchard leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouth because Amanda confronts Luke and he leaves the group in a fit of anger. Jules and Carl spend two nights in the hot tub, and grow closer even having a very PG sleepover with only talking. And Hannah and Luke make up on the tennis court, and have a night of passion leaves them feeling satisfied (with the door open), but others feeling betrayed.Be sure to check out the After Show hosted by: Amir Yassai: https://www.instagram.com/amiryass_/ Jane Johnsen: https://www.instagram.com/janejohnsen_/ Trina Dong: https://www.instagram.com/heytrinadong/ Follow us on http://www.Twitter.com/AfterBuzzTV "Like" Us on http://www.Facebook.com/AfterBuzzTV For more After Shows for your favorite TV shows and the latest news in TV, Film, and exclusive celebrity interviews, visit http://www.AfterBuzzTV.com

We hope you are safe and healthy right now, because times are crazy. It's amazing how the bible can speak to us in these times. When Hannah planned her sermon for this week, it wasn't with the Coronavirus in mind. But, a message of peace and comfort weaved it's way in. I'm really proud of my pastor for this message. Share it with your friend, or anyone who could use some peace.

Hannah Maloof was born into the car world. Her father Sammy Maloof owned a race shop Maloof Racing and the family spent plenty of time at the track. It was natural that this became her lifestyle growing up around the smell of race fuel and disassembled race engines. When Hannah turned 16 she started racing at the drag strip and this led to a move into precision driving under the tutelage of her father. Make sure to follow us and subscribe!NoBraking can be found on Instagram and Facebook

By the year 2050, it’s estimated that there will be as much plastic in the ocean as there are fish. The industrial fishing industry actually generates a staggering 10% of this waste in the form of abandoned fish nets and fishing gear, approximately 640,000 tons each year. It’s estimated that 46% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from fishing gear alone. Luckily, I’m talking to someone today who is tackling the problem of ocean plastic in a really unique way. Hannah Tomita is the founder and designer of Kaira Active. Kaira Active makes all of their products out of recycled fishnets and fishing gear! Hannah grew up in Hawaii and moved to California for college. After stumbling into her passion for fashion while a senior, she decided to sew her own swimwear to avoid spending hundreds of dollars on a swimsuit from a store. She taught herself how to make her own swimsuits by watching YouTube videos and reading articles online. After building a portfolio of her work, Hannah landed a job as an assistant designer at a swimwear consultancy where she worked with several high-profile international brands. I love hearing people who use their unique passions to solve problems in really unique ways, and I can’t wait for you to hear how Hannah is making a difference for the environment with her business. 5:20 - The Hannah 101 Growing up in Hawaii, Hannah visited the ocean at least a couple times a week. Experiences in nature were very accessible, and she spent her childhood exploring the island of Oahu. Hannah studied industrial design in college at Arizona State University. Hannah started sewing swimsuits and learned how to make designs from patterns and online tutorials. It was sharing her designs online that ultimately led Hannah to her first job as an assistant fashion designer at a consultancy. She worked with big clients like Urban Outfitters, Tommy Bahama, True Religion and more. Hannah immersed herself in fashion and while she loved it, she quickly realized that the industry was riddled with fast fashion and little to no concern for sustainability. No one was diving deep into thinking through designs and materials used. A few years after working in the fashion industry, Hannah realized the need for companies that thought through how their practices would affect the world. That’s when she started Kaira Active. When she was a student, Hannah loved designer swimwear, but couldn’t afford designer swimsuits on a college student budget. Missing the beach while studying in Arizona and not being able to afford the swimsuits she liked led her to start playing around with sewing her own swimwear. 8:40 – Kaira Active What began as a curiosity and hobby turned into a unique fashion brand that recycles industrial fishing nets and turns them into functional, beautiful active wear. Sadly, there are a lot of ways these nets end up polluting the ocean. Sometimes fisherman will illegally dump their nets to avoid getting caught. In other situations, nets are lost due to bad weather or getting snagged. There’s currently no good system in place to regulate the situation. When Hannah first started working at the swimwear consultancy, a vendor came in from Italy selling fabric made out of recycled fish nets. At the time, sustainability wasn’t being paid attention to very much, but seeing the fabric made Hannah excited about merging her love of nature and her very active lifestyle. Hannah was also looking for a way to get the most out of her activewear. Her fitness and outdoor hobbies are eclectic, and she wanted a way to use one outfit for both the yoga studio and surfing. 16:26 – Fishing Nets to Fabrics to Clothing Kaira Active partners with a nonprofit organization called Healthy Seas that sends divers to pull nets out of the ocean. Since industrial fishing nets are made of Nylon, the nets are taken to a facility and chemically regenerated back into their pure form of Nylon and made into ECONYL. ECONYL is the technology that forms the Nylon into a thread which is then sewn in with Spandex to make fabric for Kaira Active clothing. You can learn more about the stages of the process here: https://kairaactive.com/pages/protecting-the-ocean The majority of the fishing nets are collected from the North Sea, Adriatic Sea, and Mediterranean Sea where there are many shipwrecks.  Fun fact: Since 2013, the Healthy Seas initiative has recovered 453 tons of fishing nets from the ocean – that’s the weight of 3 blue whales! Kaira Active is also committed to reducing their waste, energy, emission, and water consumption. They partner only with manufactures that focus on sustainability, their electricity is derived from renewable sources, and they have adopted a water system aimed at reducing polluting agents before it is sent to the municipal water treatment plant. There’s more and you can learn about their reduction of harm HERE. Kaira’s dad believed in her vision and encouraged her to go for it. He invested 2 bitcoins right before bitcoin took off. Hannah’s bitcoin appreciated and allowed Hannah to get her idea off the ground with development, design, and a Kickstarter campaign video. 24:00 – Multifunctional and Sustainable Simplicity  Kaira Active’s mission going forward is to reduce the amount of clothing in the world while giving customers a multifunctional piece that they can use for multiple activities. All of Kaira Active’s tops are reversible, so you get multiple looks from one garment! Instead of buying active wear from a big box store with lower quality materials, consumers can invest in a higher quality item that will last longer while reducing waste! In additional to the sustainable qualities of Kaira Active’s garments as well as their good business practices, a portion of their profits go back to the Healthy Seas organization. Kaira Active ships responsibly by reducing plastic and packaging materials. They use 100% recycled paper and reusable 100% recycled poly mailers. 26:43 - Getting To Know Our Guest Learn about Hannah’s guilty pleasure, who she’d most like to sit next to on a 10-hour flight, what she’s reading right now, and of course, what it means to her to run a business with purpose!

In this episode of Stories of Hope in Hard Times, Tamara K. Anderson interviews Hannah Coles. Hannah shares how she overcame her own internal struggles after her daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia.Learning A New Identity After A Dyslexia DiagnosisHannah’s BioHannah Coles is a mom to 4 amazing children and has been married for over 18 years. She has been homeschooling her kids for over 12 years and absolutely loves it. She’s a voracious reader with an ongoing goal of reading 100 books each year. Hannah loves learning and teaching, and considers herself a teacher at heart, whether that’s at home, at church, with music, and in her career as a life coach. She loves being able to uplift others and help with their suffering.Hannah’s Story100 Book GoalHannah says this fun and exciting goal of reading 100 books a year wasn’t hers. She heard an author being interviewed, and the author mentioned that he read 100 books per year to help him get ideas as a writer. Hannah thought that sounded fun, so for the past 8 years she has made that goal. Sometimes in December she has to do a lot of reading to catch up and make her goal. Hannah says reading has been a great blessing in her life. She reads fiction and nonfiction alike, but she does stay away from dark and scary books. She says picking a favorite book is hard, but if she had to pick one it would be Wonder. Wonder a middle grade book that she says touched her heart and made her cry several times. She also loves the movie, but says that of course, the book is always better.Dyslexic DaughterHannah’s third child has dyslexia. Hannah says that when her oldest daughter was born, she got lots of one-on-one attention since she was the only child. She read very early, and everything was great. Her second child, a son, was reading early as well, finishing Harry Potter by the time he was six. Hannah says she was giving herself a pat on the back, thinking she was a great mother and teacher and homeschooler. Then when her third daughter was started getting close to being school age, Hannah had a little bit of a panic. She realized they were behind on reading. Every year Hannah would notice that she wasn’t improving in her reading. At eight years old she was still struggling to read at a first grade level. Hannah just kept thinking something couldn’t be right and felt like an unsuccessful mother and homeschooler.The ChallengesHannah would be helping her daughter read a paragraph, and the same word would come up multiple times in the paragraph. Every time, her daughter would have to stop and really struggle to get the word. Hannah says it was a painstaking process to read. So she went to the school to see if they could help. They told her they couldn’t, and that she’d need to go to a doctor. Well, her doctor told her that she needed to get help from the school. For years Hannah went back and forth between school and doctor. Eventually Hannah and her family moved. Through divine design within the first week of living in their new home they met a family who had a child with dyslexia. The mother told Hannah she needed to go see an ophthalmologist to get her daughter tested.Hannah’s daughter was tested and diagnosed with several forms of dyslexia, and the knowledge and awareness that Hannah and her daughter both had helped them start to navigate through the journey.Different Types of DyslexiaHannah says that there are a variety of forms of dyslexia and they stem off of a handful of major forms; surface, phonological, visual, primary, and mathematical. Hannah found out that there was dyslexia on both sides of her family that could have contributed to her daughter’s diagnosis.Hannah’s daughter wasn’t even able to follow the lines on a page and she would constantly lose her place. The doctor walked through how Hannah’s daughter was reading and it made much more sense. Hannah found the entire process fascinating. Her ophthalmologist told her that there was also a vision problem that was creating difficulty for her daughter. They continued with testing, got special glasses, and continued doing therapy at the doctor’s and at home. This helped strengthen and align her eyes. She didn’t have vision problems except for when she was reading, because she needed the very narrow focus.Hannah’s Daughter TodayHannah’s daughter is doing a lot better now but she still struggles a little. She has an IEP, and Hannah’s mom does homeschooling through a charter school so they have plenty of resources. The diagnosis helped Hannah’s mom get her the teaching she needed. Her daughter also was able to get weight off her shoulders and understand that nothing was wrong with her, and communicate what she needed from her education. It increased her confidence, her understanding, and her ability to read. Hannah’s daughter was diagnosed when she was 8, and she’s now ten. And she’s doing absolutely amazing.Hannah’s Feelings As A MotherHannah felt like a great mom with her older two kids, which she says was completely prideful of her. She made their success about her, and was attaching their results with who she was. So when her daughter with dyslexia came along and wasn’t having good results, it hit Hannah’s identity. She started questioning if she was a good enough teacher and mother, wondering what she should be doing differently. Hannah says she made it about her again, and that was difficult. She needed to separate her journey from her daughter’s journey.Hannah says it’s easy to put your identity in your kids, but that creates problems. Kids have their own agency, we can be the best teacher in the world and they can still choose not to learn. They can still choose not to enjoy or to listen. Hannah says understanding how to separate her journey from her children was crucial for her. She says she had to redefine what made her a successful mother. Before, success was based on what her kids would produce and their results. She had to learn that being a successful mother meant loving her children wholeheartedly, providing for them and protecting them. Hannah says she now knows she’s a good mother because she lets her children have agency while constantly loving, and guiding them.Lessons Hannah Learned From Dyslexia1. Reframe thoughts and expectationsShe learned that benchmarks aren’t what success looks like. She had to reframe and recognize that everyone learns at different times and paces.2. Stop “catastrophizing”Hannah was instantly worried her daughter would never get a job, and worried what people would think of her. She worried about judgment. She had to stop creating an imagined catastrophe and focus on what she could do to help her daughter.3. Everything is going to be OKHannah learned she didn’t have to answer every fear, but she could just tell herself that everything was going to be OK in the end. Journeys are different, and that’s all OK.4. So what!?Hannah had to ask herself if all the scary things she was imagining actually happened, so what? Then she would carefully answer the question and found the outcome didn’t really matter because she loved her daughter no matter what.5. Take things one at a timeHannah had to learn to “pick a number” instead of worrying about everything all at once. She would pick one thing to worry about or address, and just focus on that.6. Take care of yourselfHannah was worried about her children so she wasn’t taking care of herself the way she needed to. She was projecting her fears and anxiety onto her daughter, and it showed up in her needing to have her daughter meet a certain pace or expectation. When Hannah took care of her fears and anxiety, she kept those feelings away from her daughter, and felt much better. Hannah uses the analogy of pouring from an empty bucket. She had to giver to herself first so she had enough to give to her children. Filling her bucket too thought work and lots of effort and time.7. Everyone has hard daysHannah says it was important to recognize that her husband and other people in her life also had hard days. She had to get to a place to notice and appreciate what other people were going through as well.8. Validate and appreciateValidating and appreciating ourselves and others is key, Hannah says. We want other people to thank us and high five us, and we can do that for ourselves. Most of the time other people can’t give you all the things you need. You have to be able to give that to yourself.Spiritual GrowthPrayerHannah journaled to help get over the thoughts and fears she was going through. She also prayed, a lot. She says a quote from Gordon B. Hinckley helped her. An interviewer once asked him how many times a day he prayed. He said he just prayed once, because the entire day was a long conversation with God. Hannah loved this idea, and recognized that’s what she was doing all day too. It was a constant conversation asking for guidance and help.Personal RevelationHannah got a lot of personal revelation that helped her feel love, and get answers. She always felt comforted that everything was going to be OK. She felt that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and that she wasn’t trapped in a cave.God’s Time FrameShe also learned that God’s time frame is different than her timeframe. She says God has an abundance of time and she had to put herself in that mindset instead of her finite perspective.Love Is The AnswerHannah is a firm believer that love is always the answer. We show up as our best selves when we’re stemming from love. Because fear and lack and scarcity, they’re not encompassed in love. Love is all certainty, hope,  assurance and encouragement. Hannah says when she showed up with love instead of lack, it made all the difference. It helped her to stay present and not be distracted. When she was motivated by love, it was all about her daughter and what she needed from her mother. She could let go of the worldly expectations of what things should look like and to really just embody the abundance that, that God offers. Love is always the answer.Advice For OthersThe biggest piece of advice Hannah has is to get children tested if you’re concerned. Hannah says testing and learning everything you can can help you unlock what your children are seeing and be able to help them find success. She also says that when you learn more about something, you remove a lot of the fear out of it.Hannah teaches The Three C’s which are curiosity, compassion, and charity. These are helpful when dealing with struggles and working to understand someone else. The more you sit with curiosity and allow yourself the space to be curious, it leads to compassion. Hannah had that curiosity to get tested and learn about her daughter’s reading. When she understood what her daughter was going through, it instantly lead her to compassion. She could put herself in her daughter’s shoes a little bit and feel how she felt. Compassion always leads to charity, which is love. For Hannah, charity is the pure love of Christ. That love is showing up for other people as your best. So curiosity leads to compassion, which always leads to charity.Career As A Life CoachHannah didn’t really know what a life coach was, and wasn’t looking for it when she stumbled on it. She was struggling with inadequacy and feeling like she wasn’t good enough with her identity shift. She felt like her life looked great from the outside, but the inside was a mess. One of her good friends told her about the podcasts she was listening to (Hannah didn’t even know what a podcast was at the time!) and encouraged Hannah to download the app and listen to it. So she did it to appease her friend, and she found a podcast that resonated with her.One of the top podcasts that came up was the Life Coach School with Brooke Castillo. So she started listening to her and one of the first things Brooke said is that she’s a life coach. Hannah was confused, and admits it sounded hokey. By the end of Brooke’s episode, Hannah was sold. She learned that the things in her life that she was struggling with were optional, that she could transform the hand she was dealt. Hannah says that transformed her life. When people know that they don’t have to suffer and they can choose how they feel about their circumstances, it can transform their lives too. She is very passionate about helping people find that peace and understanding in their lives.There Is Always HopeWe can’t choose our circumstances in life, Hannah didn’t get to choose that her daughter had dyslexia. But Hannah can choose how she interprets that. She can make it a problem, or understand that it’s part of life and it doesn’t have to be a problem.Hannah has several Bible verses that have helped her on her journey. One is 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” This verse has been an anchor for Hannah because anytime she is feeling afraid, she realizes that feeling isn’t from God. God gives us power to overcome our struggles, He gives us love so we can be filled with that warmth and peace. We don’t have to struggle or create more of a struggle than there needs to be. We can feel love and peace.Hannah’s Resource RecommendationsHannah says that everything we do is practicing, including the thoughts we choose to think. Hannah uses the Ponderize App to have her scriptural reminder pop up on her phone several times a day. If her thoughts are wandering down a different path, her reminder comes to help her refocus.Mindset by Dr. Carol S. Dweck is a great book to read. It focuses on a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset. The book goes into depth about these concepts and how a growth mindset helps you overcome challenges. It helped Hannah figure out her journey with her daughter.Hannah also loves what Audrey Hepburn says: “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m possible.”You can reach Hannah at www.thecatalystcoaching.com or on social media.Facebook: Hannah ColesInstagram: The Catalyst Coach

Are you interested in buying into a quick-service restaurant (QSR) franchise but unsure if it’s the right fit for you? My guest, Hannah Lukowski, is a multi-unit franchisee with Firehouse Subs as well as Chicken Salad Chick. She’s here to share why she chose the QSR industry and what the day-to-day looks like. This is an episode you don’t want to miss! Hannah earned a bachelor's degree in Public Relations, but quickly realized it wasn’t the right field for her. She dove into sales and after 5 years in the private jet industry was ready for a change. She wanted to be a business owner and loved the structure a franchise offered her. Her first purchase was a Firehouse Subs location in St. Louis—and she hasn’t looked back.  Outline of This Episode [0:35] Quick Service Restaurants [3:05] Hannah’s transition into franchising [4:25] Why did Hannah choose the food industry?

When she decided to get into the world of franchising, she wanted to start with something that would be an easy transition from her current job. Most restaurants have good hours (closed by 9 pm) and would allow her to spend time with her family.  The food industry seemed pretty straightforward, was within the price range she was looking for, and had availability in her market. She was only 28 when she opened her first location, and she spent the first year working as the GM in the store. It allowed her to learn the ins and outs of the restaurant and the industry simultaneously.  Hiring from within motivates your team Hannah has been very transparent with her team from day one—if they work hard, there will always be an opportunity for advancement. She believes hiring from within motivates employees because they know that it doesn’t just have to be an “hourly job”. It can also help eliminate constant turnover because they can make this job a career. Hannah’s very first interview as a franchisee was done at a Panera because she didn’t have an open location yet. The hire was a 20-year-old girl—Shelby—who was looking for something better. Now, she is Hannah’s Director of Operations for both brands that she owns and Hannah’s biggest success story. She desires her team to succeed, and people like Shelby are critical to the growth of your business.  To find out how she got into Chicken Salad Chick and what that process looked like, be sure to listen! How your voice is heard in small franchises vs. large franchises Hannah gave an example of how change goes into effect in a smaller organization (Chicken Salad Chick). With every single meal, each customer gets a small cookie. If the meal is dine-in, team members had to unwrap this pre-packaged cookie to put on a tray. It was a complete waste of their time. Most people didn’t even eat the cookie with their meal, but wrapped it in a napkin and took it with them for later. When Hannah saw the labor being wasted unwrapping these cookies, she suggested the franchise change the practice and leave the cookies wrapped. Two short weeks later, the recommended change was instituted. If she had made the recommendation to Firehouse Subs, a change like that would take months. They would have to do case studies, and a change would likely never happen. A smaller franchise system may give you more opportunities for your voice to be heard, but are their downsides? Listen to find out! The pros and cons of managing your franchises remotely Hannah recently moved from St. Louis to Phoenix and has now begun transitioning to working and managing her franchises remotely. Before the move, she was within half an hour of all of her businesses. She would often grab her laptop and find herself working in some part of the restaurant throughout a day. She built a rapport with her team, but they also learned to depend on her. She’s realizing that she can be a more effective owner when she is not enmeshed in the everyday workings of the business. She can do weekly meetings with her GM where they go over goals and marketing. It can be intimidating, and comes with a learning curve but is completely doable. It’s a process that I’ve learned as well.  To hear more about Hannah’s journey as a franchisee in the QSR world, listen to the whole episode!

He's an A&R man, she's an arts correspondent and they are devoted to their new-born son Samuel. But beneath the gloss Luke has always felt like an outsider. So when he finds his birth mother Alice, the instant connection with her is a little like falling in love. When Hannah goes back to work, Luke asks Alice to look after their son. But Alice - fuelled with grief from when her baby was taken from her 27 years ago - starts to fall in love with Samuel. And Luke won't settle for his mother pushing him aside once again...

About Hannah Hannah is mum to Alice and Henry and lives with her husband Nick in Christchurch, New Zealand. She has worked in Human Resources for the past 13 years, within the health, media and manufacturing/design industries. She has a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Psychology) and a PG Dip in Human Resources Management. When Hannah became a Mum, she was amazed to learn that there were very few solutions for dealing with some of the everyday challenges that being a mother presented. She knew that she wasn’t alone when struggling to deal with mum guilt, feelings of inadequacies and feeling a little disconnected to her husband. She longed for tips and advice; what she says she needed was an HR manager of her own to guide her through this new role. The Kite App was then born. Episode highlights Hannah’s journey into motherhood Hannah’s experience of birth trauma Hannah’s diagnosis of bi-polar disorder and signs and symptoms - why it was challenging to look for warning signs The impact on her relationship with her husband The support and care women received How mental health issues affected Hannah’s confidence Healing second birth The Kite App and how it began The results of a survey conducted by Hannah - issues with sleeping/overwhelm/disconnection from their partners/lack of time for themselves The practical solutions offered by The Kite App Programmes within Kite for mums of teenagers The mother village in the context of mums of teenagers The future of Kite The positive story of Hannah and how being diagnosed, and living, with bi-polar disorder you can still follow your dreams About The Kite App The Kite App takes you through 14 mini programs that we affectionately call “Kites”. These are on a range of personal development topics that are specific challenges of mum life. These include sleep, stress management, relationships, mum guilt and coping with the juggle- to name just a few. There is even a “mum friendly” technology detox. You create your own journey, stopping and starting Kites as you wish - it’s as easy as that! Why a Kite? The kite is a wonderful analogy for mum life. We spend all of our time and efforts helping our kids fly their kites high. So much so that we often leave our own kites on the ground, whilst we truly deserve to be soaring too. There is nothing more beautiful than a strong powerful kite flying gracefully in the sky, and that is why we feel the concept so perfectly describes what this program endeavours to do for all Mums. Being a Mum is hard work, that’s why we have created this beautiful app to support you on your journey and provide you with the resources you need to be successful.

[3:19] This week, Marc discusses online networking with his good friend and colleague, Hannah Morgan, a.k.a. Career Sherpa. You will find Hannah at CareerSherpa.net. [3:34] Marc welcomes Hannah to the Repurpose Your Career Podcast. [4:25] Hannah and Marc met online. They have never met in person. [5:00] Online networking is networking through social media, blogs, or other online channels. Don’t network when you need something. Network to build mutually beneficial relationships and have some fun with it. [5:58] Chris Brogan first described online networking in relation to finding your tribe, which is people that have something in common with you, a way of thinking, or a passion about a subject. Hannah says the fun is really in finding your tribe. [6:46] When Hannah started writing about ‘job search,’ she looked for other people writing about ‘job search.’ She found a couple of people writing blogs on it, before the days of social media. She commented on their blogs and began dialogs with them. She found other people they were affiliated with and made more connections. [7:21] From these new connections, Hannah learned about new technology and tools. She started a Twitter account. The most important message Hannah has about online networking is to find your tribe, talking about your interests. [7:41] Marc’s definition of a tribe is those people who would probably say yes if you asked for a favor. Dunbar’s Number says you can maintain about 150 real relationships. Marc has 7,000 LinkedIn connections. That is not his tribe. [8:18] Marc was doing some unemployment rate research for his book and he asked five people he knew would assist him. They are in is his tribe. He has a relationship with them. [8:54] Some of Marc’s tribe he has met in person, like Teresa Ferguson of AustinUp and some he only knows online. Marc connects online with even the ones he has met. [9:52] Networking is like a job search. The first step is to identify your targets. Sarah connects with each member of her tribe on as many social media platforms as possible, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Those are the platforms where Sarah is active and she uses them for different purposes. [10:49] Sarah creates Twitter lists to keep people organized and to make her experience easier. All her marketing ‘peeps’ are on a marketing list. Her job search ‘peeps’ are on a job search list. Different platforms allow different strategies to keep your tribe top-of-mind. Take the effort to wish them a happy birthday or congratulate them. [12:44] Make a concerted effort to stay in touch with the people that are in your core tribe. Also, take a relationship to the next level with a phone call, or Skype or Zoom just to catch up. [13:45] Marc uses Facebook to stay connected with his Austin tribe; he also uses it to stay in touch with his local group, Gringos Ajijic & Lakeside. It works better for Marc than Google because people share their recommendations. Marc uses LinkedIn for personal stuff and Twitter for jobs lists. He posted about Twitter lists and targeted jobs. [16:08] If you are looking for a job in a targeted city, Hannah suggests starting with a tribe there by joining a local Facebook group. LinkedIn also has some groups by city. Join a group and look for the kind of news that’s being shared relative to your targeted company or field. [17:28] Hannah is an introvert and seeks information before taking action. She spends time researching and becoming acclimated before she jumps in to do things. Look to see who is most active in your area of interest. Look for great networkers. They want to help you build your network. [18:35] Marc says MeetUp is a neglected platform. Marc looks at what meetings are going on in Austin and who is attending them. It will give names, which Marc uses to find email addresses on other platforms. [19:10] Tagging is a great way to stay top-of-mind. Each platform has a different method for tagging. Hannah gives an example of when to use tags in your posts on all three platforms. [20:57] Marc suggests looking for articles you think specific people would be interested in, and about once a week sharing an article with two or three people tagged in it for their feedback. [21:09] If you’re looking in a remote location, subscribe to the local business journal. When something happens in that location you want to share, be very surgical about posting it and tagging one or two people you would like to impress at a target company. Don’t tag 100 people. Tag three that could have the biggest impact on your career. [22:23] Marc walks into networking events with the goal of finding whom he can help, not how many people he can meet. He creates “good karma” by helping people. Similarly, you can find really good content and share it online, with a few to whom it would be really useful. Or use it to start a conversation. [23:04] Marc responds to LinkedIn connection requests by accepting them and then responding, “Hey, I accepted your connection request. How did you find me?” This starts a conversation. Asking good open-ended questions is a way to get a conversation going, either in person or online. [23:55] Commenting on posts among your tribe on LinkedIn is helpful, too. Leave a well-thought-out comment and ask an open-ended question. LinkedIn is all about building relationships by engaging with each other and share information. [25:42] Boomers sometimes have difficulty asking for help. Marc just turned 63. He wants to work into his 70s and he needs to build relationships to help him prepare for the next thing. Things are changing quickly. Hannah adds, this is one of the things we may not like to do, but that our career health requires. [26:55] Hannah recommends using hashtags to search for content, cities, occupations, and so forth, on LinkedIn. When you share content, use the appropriate hashtag that will let people interested in your content to find it easily. [28:18] A member of Marc’s online community started searching for her target job title by hashtag and a lot of content popped up for her. Use hashtags both to search and to curate content. LinkedIn can suggest hashtags for your content. [29:21] The same hashtag that works on LinkedIn will also work on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Marc is not on Instagram! A lot of the Ajijic expats are older than Marc and they resist Facebook but Marc endorses it highly as a valuable resource. [30:16] Marc refers back to the Susan Joyce episode on personal SEO and privacy. Susan Joyce cautions to be careful what you talk about on Facebook because it will be searched by your target employers when you apply. Don’t mix rants and professional content in the same account. [30:58] Hannah says it’s okay to lurk on these platforms and check out what other people are saying. You don’t have to share anything. Hannah says a lot of older people are using Instagram to share pictures and keep track of family members. [31:41] Marc now uses Facebook primarily to share his experiences and what he learns in Ajijic and to share photos. Marc wants to help others with it, and others can keep track of what Marc is doing. [33:10] Marc will use Facebook to share about his book tour coming up in September and October. [33:22] Hannah notes that according to Pew Research, the majority of people only log into LinkedIn once or twice a month, so it is unlikely they will see your share. Don’t put all your eggs in the LinkedIn basket? Use a mix of platforms. [34:16] Marc recommends using the telephone. Gary O’Neal of Austin HR (Now Asure Software) told Marc that if you want to get to a recruiter call them. They get too much email and too much activity on LinkedIn.[35:08] Like any new routine or habit, it takes time to see the results you’re looking for. Don’t give up. Commit to 30 days to establish more online connections. You will get hooked. [35:55] You’re digging a bunch of holes and planting seeds. And you don’t know which ones are going to germinate. But you’ve got to give it time. Marc has a client who uses Sales Navigator to surgically identify people and companies who could hire him. He gets a good response rate from his personalized outreach messages. [37:29] When you have the intent of “good karma” — you’re putting out helpful information and you want to help, and then go back and ask for a favor, you can’t go wrong.

Is your dream too big for you? It better be, because that will force you to pray circles around it.  If you keep circling it in prayer, God will get bigger and bigger until you see your impossible prayer for what is really is: an easy answer for an almighty God. -Mark Batterson Last week in worship, I just sat down and started thanking God like I had never done so before for all the impossible things in my life. I praised Him like the breakthroughs had already come. I thanked God for my husband, our Godly marriage, my financial breakthrough, and restoration in my family. If there was any person that needed a miracle; it was this woman… Hannah in Samuel 1 was a woman who married to a man named Elkanah. At this time, a woman’s purpose was marriage and motherhood, particularly motherhood to boys. She felt such shame for not being successful in having kids. She was so depressed she would not eat. Elkanah was determined to fix her and reminded her that his love can be enough. When Hannah went to the temple for the annual sacrifice, she was distressed and wept with her face on the floor. She was crying out for her breakthrough. The priest, Eli, comes to her and says she is crazy and drunk. She stands up for herself, stands up for her faith, and stands up for her breakthrough. God softens Eli’s heart and he blesses peace over her. Her prayer isn’t answered, but her depression lifts in these moments. God answered her prayer, but it didn’t happen overnight. It came in due time. She had a son and named him Samuel. The biggest miracle was one child—Hannah ended her life with six. Because God is ABLE Daniel 3:17-18—If this be so our God whom we serve is Abel to deliver us from the burning fiery furance, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.  But if not, be it known to you, O King, that we will not serve your gods or worship that golden image that you have set up It reorients my affections on who God is Isaiah 43:19—I make streams in the desert. When there is no way, God makes a way. God is bigger than my circumstances—statistics are nothing for Him. Nothing is impossible to Him. It keeps me dependent on him We live in a culture that says I am the captain of my own ship.  And yes, I believe we have way more power and authority that so many people of faith think they have access to.  But I also believe that I need someone bigger than me, to come into my life and circumstances to restore. It allows me to stay connected to hope + gratitude Romans 5:5 says hope does not put us to shame. What if we hoped and prayed and believed for miracles, breakthroughs, and the impossible like we had NO SHAME!? Trusting that even if/when God doesn’t answer our prayer how we want him to—that He works all things together for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28) and that even what the enemy meant for evil, God is going to use for good (Genesis 50:20). God gets the credit + glory  My biggest dreams are small to God—He breathed life into creation. Ephesians 3:20 says now to Him who is able to do abundantly more than we could ask or imagine, according to his power at work within us, to him be the glory. What is that thing that feels too risky to hope for because you’ve been disappointed in the past? Do you have the audacity to praise before the breakthrough?

When Hannah was in bitterness of soul, in a sorrowful spirit due to her barrenness and afflicting by Peninnah her adversary, where did she turn? Hannah turned to her only source of true comfort, she poured out her soul before the Lord. When the problems and trials of this life weigh us down and burden our souls, we need to unburden our souls by pouring out all our hearts and souls unto the Lord and leaving those cares in faith with him.

Your host, Hannah Moore CFP®, steps into the hot seat this week to be interviewed by Rianka Dorsainvil, CFP®! Hannah is incredibly passionate about the financial planning profession. In this exclusive interview, Hannah is talking about her struggles early on in her career, how she discovered the difference between financial advice and financial planning, and how she found her tribe within the financial planning profession. Hannah’s career launched in an incredibly unique way. She bought a financial planning practice when she was 26 years old, and was effectively thrown into the deep end of the financial planning world. She learned in the most hands-on way possible, and she quickly realized that isolation as a young planner was not only detrimental to her career, but to her clients. When Hannah attended her first FPA NexGen Gathering, she quickly realized she had found her people. She was sitting next to pioneers of the profession, and new planners alike – and they were all there for one reason: to spread the gospel of financial planning and to focus on making themselves into the best planners they could be. This was game changing for Hannah, and inspired her involvement in the financial planning profession with the #YAFPNW podcast and, ultimately, the launch of the FPA Activate community.     What You’ll Learn: What makes an exceptional planner How to “show up” in the financial planning profession How to find your people in this profession Where to connect with other planners How to power through insecurities when you’re a new planner Revelations Hannah has had as a planner, entrepreneur, and business owner How you can combine your creative side with a career in financial planning     The 2050 TrailBlazers Podcast NexGen Gathering FPA Activate on Facebook  

Hannah and Jade Sullivan are women founders disrupting an age-old industry. When Hannah and Jade first had the chance to start Pogo.co, their own insurance business, they weren’t sure it was for them. They were designers by trade and had no formal experience working in insurance. But being the go-getters that they are, Hannah and Jade recognized their fresh perspective could provide a unique opportunity to reshape the way things were done. In this episode, we talk with Hannah and Jade about what it was like to dive head-first into a new industry, as well as how they manage their relationship as both business partners and spouses.
