In this episode, Steph and Jeff look at the dark comedy, A Simple Favor. When Stephanie's new bestie Emily goes missing - and then appears to be dead - she gets her Nancy Drew on and tries to track her down. She also finds time to slot in as a surrogate mom to Emily's son and start sleeping with Emily's husband. Multitasking is the key to success.

Within the next 24 hours, more than 3,000 teenagers in the United States will attempt to take their own lives. Seventeen of them will succeed. Jackie Simmons' daughter, Stephanie, shared that statistic when delivering a speech which would change lives and inspire teens to come together with Stephanie's sisters and to create, "The Teen Suicide Prevention Society." When Stephanie was 14, she attempted suicide for the first time. Over the next several years, her mother placed her in different types of treatment programs, but never spoke with her directly about what she was going through. When Stephanie stood up and gave that speech, Jackie realized her huge mistake. Her daughter suggested to the audience, the solution to teen suicidality was prevention, not intervention, and that kids should be talked to about mental health, suicide, and strategies to deal with any difficulties they encounter before they were having a problem with it. That is the basis of their society. Today, they train people to be emotionally and mentally resilient and provide tools to talk with loved ones about suicide, before it appears to be a problem. Those who join the Teen Suicide Prevention Society receive a script on talking with their teens about suicide, tools to learn about where they stand, and to learn skills in mental and emotional resilience, and support from trained and professional staff. Joining is free, and access to most of the programs they offer are also free of charge.

It's deadly.” @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “Here's a myth: people who attempt to die by suicide, whether they die or not, they're not looking to die. They just can't figure out how to live. They just don't know how to live with the pain… It's not a fascination with death. It is literally, that's the only option they can see in that moment.” @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “What if there's no sign of struggle? … the first sign is often a [suicide] attempt.“ @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “The reality is according to Freud, suicidal thoughts are normal. They're part of the natural problem solving abilities of the brain. They're part of our worst case scenario mechanism. They are there for a reason they can spur problem-solving if we let it.” @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “Whatever age your kid is now, now is the right time to start… we can't afford to wait. We can't afford to wait for there to be signs, for us to think that there's a risk factor, for there to be some reason to have the talk.” The reason to have the talk about suicide is because they're still breathing. @JackieSimmons @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge ————————————————————————— Topics Discussed: Teen suicidality Talking about suicide with loved ones Building emotional and mental resilience Preventing suicide proactively, not just reacting to an attempt or cry for help ————————————————————————— Suicide Hotlines: USA: 1-800-273-8255 USA Crisis (Text): 741-741 Canada: 1-833-456-4566 United Kingdom: 116-123 Australia: 13-11-14 International Suicide Hotlines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines ————————————————————————— Connect with us!

Leaders are responsible for building a transparent system, ensuring a positive working environment, and fostering effective communication among colleagues. In a truly transparent system, decisions are not based on personal relationships and office gossip, but on results.

Her background includes a wide range of roles in a series of big tech companies.

And that’s what led Stephanie back to a smaller environment at Flowhub, the cannabis tech company. In this episode of Taking the Lead, host Christina Brady talks with Stephanie Jenkins about leadership, decision-making processes, professional development, favoritism vs. performance, and the impacts of office politics. Also, the two discuss how every person should have a growth plan to help them develop and get past a toxic company culture. This episode will show the importance of training for new leaders, and it will inspire you to look at your employees and their development from a different perspective.

The twenty-seventh entry in Janet Evanovich's No.1 New York Times bestselling series isn't just the biggest case of Stephanie Plum's career. It's the adventure of a lifetime. When Stephanie's beloved Grandma Mazur's new husband died on their wedding night, the only thing he left her was a beat-up old easy chair... and the keys to a life-changing fortune. But as Stephanie and Grandma Mazur search for Jimmy Rosolli's treasure, they discover that they're not the only ones on the hunt. Two dangerous enemies from the past stand in their way-along with a new adversary who's even more formidable: Gabriela Rose, a dark-eyed beauty from Little Havana with a taste for designer clothes. She's also a soldier of fortune, a gourmet cook, an expert in firearms and mixed martial arts-and someone who's about to give Stephanie a real run for her money. Stephanie may be in over her head, but she's got two things that Gabriela doesn't: an unbreakable bond with her family and a stubborn streak that will never let her quit. She'll need both to survive because this search for "fortune and glory" will turn into a desperate race against time with more on the line than ever before. Because even as she searches for the treasure and fights to protect her Grandma Mazur, her own deepest feelings will be tested-as Stephanie could finally be forced to choose between Joe Morelli and Ranger.

When Stephanie opened her store in 2016 she told her husband it would take at least five years to be profitable. After two years she realised working 80+ hours a week in her "retirement job" and barely making ends meet was NOT what she wanted from her business. Fast forward 18 months and both she and her store are hardly recognisable. I hear so many retailers say they don't believe the "freedom business" hype. They don't believe they can grow their business or become profitable. They don't believe there's a way to change that doesn't require them to work harder or hustle more. I asked Stephanie to join me and share the biggest breakthroughs in her business. To prove it CAN be done! Stephanie shares how she took her store from struggling to highly profitable (even with a natural disaster, her husbands open heart surgery AND a pandemic to slow her down). What she now considers her role in the business. And how she has achieved being included in Shopify's top 1% of store owners (with a brand new and pretty average online store). If it feels like you'll never own the store you dreamed of or that you're destined to be overworked and underpaid for ever; this episode will empower you to see that with the right knowledge and commitment it CAN be done.

Alexander from Bothell has asked us for help with his girlfriend Stephanie and her obsession with filters on social media. He was at first concerned but is now actually annoyed that she can’t seem to post a normal regular picture of herself because he feels like it’s dishonest. He says even when he posts something she takes it down and redoes it and reposts it. When Stephanie comes on, the story becomes quite different. She says she does it because she is bothered by her chronic acne, something she says Alexander reminds her of constantly. The P1’s at first agree with Alexander about the annoying overuse of filters but Oh, Man, do they turn on him when Stephanie’s poor self-esteem comes straight at us.

Stephanie Fierman is one of Forbes’ 50 most influential CMOs on social media and has held senior leadership roles at MediaCom, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Time Warner. Stephanie has also run her own consultancy firm, working with clients such as Equifax and NBC Universal. She joins the show to talk about the role of women in tech, how we can really get better at inclusivity in organizations and level the playing field at the gender level, and how we can work with the CEO and company to create realistic expectations.   Takeaways: ● All women’s leadership programs aren’t created equally. We must look at the actual numbers and opportunities they provide and not just be blinded by the big giant pink cupcakes. ● For conferences and gatherings that promote inclusivity, they should have a representation that mirrors the environments they are talking about. For every woman that goes to these programs, we also need men in attendance as well. ● Kevin saw it get easier to bring women into conferences and digital marketing events when it moved from tech to advertising. ● When you are a CMO, every tool is in service of the objective of marketing, and tech and data certainly apply. ● Often the CMO and CEO have diverging expectations, and that can lead to confusion about what the main focus should be on. ● The CMO role can be one of very high turnover, and the typical lifespan of a CMO is only 43 months of tenure. ● When Stephanie is looking for career opportunities, she doesn’t hitch her wagon to a certain CMO but instead checks in with a culture of growth and change. ● A great CMO leans on their agency and remains humble enough to admit there is always new information to learn and put in practice.   Quotes: ● “There is nothing like the smell of rotting cabbage on a hot summer day.” ● “Don’t hitch your wagon to one boss.” ● “Nobody is above doing anything at the workplace today.”   Mentioned in This Episode: Stephanie Fierman LinkedIn @stephfierman Nana Visitor Gender Avenger Jack Myers SpencerStuart

The best Sundays are for long reads and deep conversations. Earlier this week, the Let's Talk Bitcoin! Show gathered to discuss Lightning Network technology and two innovative approaches at the wallet level which simplify the new-user experience at a tangible, but seemingly minimal cost. In today's podcast we zero in on the challenge of "Channel Management", an until-recently-mandatory and manually-managed part of connecting to and utilizing the still-nascent Lightning Network. A little context: The way Andreas (someone already using Lightning) sends a payment to Stephanie through Lightning is either through a direct channel to her or through a route of hops that can eventually reach Stephanie. But if a user is brand new to the Lightning network, how do they go about receiving their first payment? - This question has been answered by both ZAP wallet and Phoenix wallet, using different techniques. This episode of Let's Talk Bitcoin! is sponsored by Brave.com, eToro.com and Purse.io. Lightning Topic Notes: Phoenix wallet is made by ACINQ, the makers of Eclair wallet. Eclair offers more advanced/technical users a deeper look behind the hood of the inner workings with channel management being a manual operation. With Phoenix, ACINQ has taken this away, with the aim of it being a more user friendly wallet for the end user - A more Mom and Pop style wallet. When Stephanie, a new user of Phoenix wants to be paid by Andreas, she will create an invoice on her phone, just like any other wallet. Andreas will then scan that QR code, send the payment, and it will look just like any other Lightning transaction to Andreas. If Stephanie currently has channels open with enough inbound capacity - Then it will complete successfully. But what happens when there is not enough inbound capacity, or no channels at all? This is where Phoenix differs. Phoenix wallet offers no channel management to the end user, it is all done under the hood. The wallet ONLY connects to the ACINQ node, initially through a ‘fake channel’ and when an incoming payment is detected by ACINQ, the ‘routing hint’ that was contained in the QR code points to Stephanie’s wallet through this fake channel. [Andreas → Node X → Node Y → ACINQ Node -*-*-> Stephanie] Stephanie will then get notified that she has an incoming payment and be asked if she would like ACINQ to open a channel with her and push her the balance due (Turbo Channel). This comes at a cost though, 0.5% of the amount received. [Phoenix state that this is to cover the cost of opening the channel and allocating additional liquidity on their side]

The best Sundays are for long reads and deep conversations. Earlier this week, the Let's Talk Bitcoin! Show (Adam B. Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Jonathan Mohan and Stephanie Murphy) gathered to discuss Lightning Network technology and two innovative approaches at the wallet level which simplify the new-user experience at a tangible, but seemingly minimal cost. On today's podcast we zero in on the challenge of "Channel Management", an until-recently-mandatory part of connecting to and utilizing the still-nascent Lightning Network.Until recently, the way Andreas sends a payment to Stephanie through Lightning is either through a direct channel to her or through a route of hops that can eventually reach Stephanie.But if a user is brand new to the Lightning network, how do they go about receiving their first payment? - This question has been answered by both ZAP wallet and Phoenix wallet, using different techniques.Phoenix wallet is made by ACINQ, the makers of Eclair wallet.

All monies on the wallet are contained in channels.There is also the ability to send and receive on-chain bitcoin using swaps (this also comes with a fee)ZAP takes a different approach to onboarding new users. Their aim is for users to be able to use their debit card to have bitcoin sent to them on the Lightning Network, even when they have a fresh wallet with no channels. Then the user has the ability to make payments on the Lightning Network.The creator of ZAP, Jack Mallers has started a new services which he calls OLYMPUS. This service is standalone and can be implemented by other Lightning wallets, with there being no requirement for the Lightning wallet used to be ZAP.Quoting from the Zap blog on what Olympus is:“Olympus is an external service that clients make requests to. The service is responsible for the hard parts: onboarding users, processing payments, managing market risk, streaming quotes, and delivering bitcoins.”Once payment has been received by Olympus, it will then open a Turbo channel to the user, with the pushed amount that they have just purchased with their debit card. With the use of a Turbo channel, the user is able to spend straight away. Jack Mallers has also stated that in the future Olympus will not only push the amount to the user but will also have some funds on their end of the channel. The amount to be staked by Olympus will vary depending on the users usage. Currently Olympus is in Beta and available to only a few select users in the United States with a plan to roll out publicly and eventually to other countries POINTS OF INTERESTOlympus requires KYC/AMLIf you are a business using the Olympus service will this mean that when the channel is opened to you, Olympus will open a channel with much higher funds on their end as opposed to if you are only an individual?NOTESZAP is non-custodialZAP is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile (iOS and Android)ZAP can connect through a remote node on Mobile - On Desktop offers remote node and own neutrino node.Using ZAP wallet does not require KYC/AML - But using Olympus doesZAP has the ability to offer a version of their wallet that doesn’t contain the Olympus featureWant more?

When Stephanie saw that a social media coach she was following started a network marketing business, she became so annoyed that she unfollowed her. It wasn’t until months later that she saw a mutual friend in the coaching industry having success by partnering with that same coach (Brooke Rash) that she became so curious that she jumped in feet first when she was 9 months pregnant. Get an inside look into why this professional speaker, sales trainer, and business coach partnered with Million Hair Club to create another revenue stream.   

Noah from Covington is wondering why his girlfriend Stephanie has never introduced him to her parents after two years of dating. He says they don’t live very far away – Bellingham – and could easily be there within 2 hours. He says she goes see them on holidays and such but always for a short trip and says he “doesn’t need to go, it’s not a big deal.” But after two years, he says it is starting to bother him. He is wondering if there is something about them that she is trying to hide from him, or maybe something about him that she doesn’t want them to know. When Stephanie comes on she is pretty casual about it, and thinks Noah is making something out of nothing. She finds it more unusual when people rush into meeting family, but Noah points out that 2 years together isn’t “rushing” and presses her about why the delays. And as the conversation continues, she gets a little…evasive…

Who do you recommend you would trust with your parents’ money?’ And, unfortunately I drew a blank.” (04:44) “About five years ago I started managing money for people, and that’s when I really fell in love with the industry because it was able to take a lot of the complicated topics that I had been learning and actually apply them to our everyday lives.” (08:00) “We wanted to start a business based on compassionate finance, with the understanding that women are earning as much as men.” (12:16) “When we talk about finance, we’re all about educating.” (13:35) “It’s really amazing to have a business partner that you can trust and lean on, too. So I think that is one of the greatest gifts that we’ve recognized is that when I’m down, Stephanie is up. When she’s down, I’m up. We lift each other up.” (26:36) “For me Zen, as a practitioner of meditation, means balance. And so, it’s something we strive to create in our lives every day, as well as in the lives of our clients by not putting too much focus on any one thing.” (36:10) “It’s [Zen Money] is making your life fun and enjoyable and, ya know, don’t stress the small stuff. Money is a way to propel you to do things that you want to do.” (36:43) About Cristina and Stephanie Cristina is a Certified Financial Planner® and Registered Life Planner®.

In 2016, she left New York City to pursue a career in individual money management where she managed $200 million in assets across equities, bonds, and alternative investments.

Are you ready for this? I don't think you're ready for this.PREPARED TO BE RIDICULOUSLY INSPIRED."Stephanie Hock grew up in Murray, Utah. She loved watching her mother draw and was fascinated that she could draw anything. When Stephanie was thirteen, she watched her mom work hard to finish her bachelor’s degree in fine art (while pregnant with her seventh child). Her love of art and motivation to reach for her dreams inspired Stephanie to do the same. She graduated from Utah State University with a bachelors in Visual Art, but struggled to find her rhythm as a painter. Two years after graduation (and less fulfilling office jobs), Stephanie met her husband who gave her three tubes of paint as a wedding present. He encouraged her to find her artistic voice, and through workshops and artist mentors, she finally did. Stephanie is thrilled to be living the life she always dreamed—being a professional artist and being a mother. She can’t imagine how it gets any better. She and her husband live in Murray, Utah with their twin girls and two sons. When she’s not busy painting or mothering, she enjoys pursuing her other loves of photography, writing and reading."WE ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZED BY STEPHANIE AND ARE *SO STOKED* THAT WE GOT TO INTERVIEW HER Got any suggestions?

Stephanie Brodt, owner of Stephanie Brodt Virtual Executive Services left the corporate world after 20-plus years working as an executive assistant to work as a virtual assistant online. Now, as an author and coach, she teaches others how to leave the office and use their very own specific skills while working from their home or even while they travel. Stephanie’s online course, titled, “Your 9 to 5 Exit Plan,” is available at StephanieBrodt.com for those who wish to learn more about how to work with this type of freedom and flexibility. Stephanie is Marc’s virtual assistant and she’s launching a new course the same week this episode airs. Marc has no financial relationship with this course. He just wants to help Stephanie be successful with this new endeavor as she has been a great virtual assistant to Marc for well over a year.   Key Takeaways: [1:29] Marc welcomes you to Episode 137 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast.

Marc would love to meet his readers and listeners. [3:02] Reach out to Marc at Podcasts@CareerPivot.com. [3:07] Next week, Marc will interview Mark Silverman of Amava.com. [3:12] Amava™’s mission statement is, “We want you to live a long, fulfilling life. We focus on social engagement because, according to research, it can be more important to wellness than genes, nutrition or fitness routines. It’s downright scary how dangerous it is to become isolated.” [3:32] Marc had planned on playing Mark’s interview this week but changed his mind. This week, Marc is interviewing Stephanie Brodt. Marc shares her biography. [4:43] Marc welcomes Stephanie to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Stephanie is Marc’s virtual assistant (VA) and she is launching a new course on how to become a VA. Many Baby Boomers have never considered becoming a VA. [5:16] Stephanie has already talked to Marc’s online membership community, so Marc wanted to bring her onto the podcast, too, to explain what a VA does. Stephanie is not a Boomer but is near the upper end of Generation X. [5:59] Stephanie started out of college as a receptionist for the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. [6:010] Her bachelor’s degree is in business management, but she always worked in the office as an executive assistant, administrative assistant, project manager, and general manager, all basically in positions where she assisted other people to be successful. Stephanie liked being behind the scenes, managing the details of projects. [6:36] Stephanie loves that work and has done it for 20-plus years for different organizations, mainly at institutions of higher education. [6:51] Today, Stephanie works virtually, from her home office or while traveling with her husband. She works as a VA, which has slowly gone into coaching other people how to take their office skills and use them virtually instead of at a physical location. She started by coaching her friends who were interested in working virtually. [7:31] Stephanie still keeps a few clients on hand that she works for as a VA, mixed in with the coaching. [7:44] A virtual assistant assists in whatever that business is doing, just as in an office — help your boss manage calendars, send out newsletters, help them with correspondence and customers. You may help them with data, bookkeeping, or accounting. Whatever you can do to assist them, you can do virtually, online. [8:22] Small business owners and medium-sized business owners may need help and not have a full-time employee to help them. A virtual assistant could do website management or blog editing. They could edit books. It could be anything that a company needs. [9:04] Stephanie edits Marc’s blogs, sends emails, puts together Marc’s podcast, and sometimes talks to Marc’s clients. Marc put a request on LinkedIn that he was looking for a VA and Stephanie responded to it. When they first connected, Stephanie was living in Indiana. Now, she lives in Florida, where she and her husband moved to “semi-retire.” [10:01] Marc and Stephanie have never met in person. That is how things are with most of her clients. Stephanie has had clients in Spain, the UK, Australia, and one in Colorado, U.S. Stephanie and Marc do video conferences online. [10:44] It was a slow process for Stephanie to go from the workplace to the virtual workplace. The more she did her job, the better she knew it. The older she got, the more freedom she wanted to have. She wanted to schedule her own time off. [11:22] When Stephanie was brought into her final corporate job, the company had no administrative staff and she was asked to create one. Stephanie brought on three assistants and taught them how to run an administrative team. As they became better, Stephanie was eventually told that the team could work without her and she was let go. [11:58] Stephanie was sad that the position was gone, but in the back of her mind, she didn’t want to return to an office where she had to beg for her time off. She didn’t enjoy the commute or the timeclock. So, she started looking for ways not to go back to an office. They had given her a severance amount, so she had a little cushion. [12:57] Stephanie and her husband agreed that she could use up the cushion, and if she hadn’t figured out what to do after that, she would go back to an office. They cut back wherever they could and Stephanie started figuring it out. [13:17] Stephanie’s job was to spend 40 hours a week figuring out what she could do. What she figured out was that she could do what she had always done: the tasks she had always done in an office. She could quickly convert that to working online for clients all around the world and work when she wanted. [13:58] She could work at home or while they traveled in the car. She could hook up her phone as a hotspot and work in the car as they drove from Indiana to Florida. Her clients never noticed it. She didn’t have to ask anyone for anything. She could just do it. [14:21] The more Stephanie found out, the more she started doing it, the more passionate she became. People her age that have always known work in a physical location had no idea this work was available and how easy it is to step into it. [14:44] Stephanie became very adamant about telling people around her, when they would ask about it, that they could use their computer at home the same way they use it in an office, with just a few tricks and connecting programs added. [15:07] When she saw people being suffocated by the time and place restrictions of work, she was passionate about helping them do the same things she was doing. Besides coaching people how to be VAs, she keeps a few clients that she really enjoys working for herself, Marc being one of them. [15:49] Stephanie eventually chose a specific niche for her VA work. At first, Stephanie worked for companies that were in areas she had already worked in. She recommends staying in familiar territory to start. Once, she picked up a client who was an author and a life coach. [16:27] This client was producing things for her clients that resonated with Stephanie. Stephanie was so interested, she would have assisted this client for free. That led her to see that she enjoys that type of work more. Working on her terms allowed her to discover and choose what she liked best. [17:10] Stephanie started to look toward people who were authors, speakers, and life coaches, to study their mentality and way of looking at life. She started looking only for that type of work. She might take on others that approached her, or hire assistants to do the work for those clients. This started unexpectedly, from all the referrals she received. [18:06] To avoid disappointing the people who had sent her the referrals, Stephanie brought on assistants she managed and assured the quality of their work. Stephanie retains for herself the work for coaches, speakers, and authors. [18:33] Marc describes VA work to his clients like this: You work 80% of the time, you make 75% of what you used to make, and you get to fire clients you don’t like. [19:08] Stephanie wants to really live every day, not just weekends, vacations, or holidays. She goes to lunch with friends, and does the work in a morning, evening or the next day. She also only picks clients she enjoys working with, who click with her. [20:04] You set up your business in a way that you do get to choose. Don’t set up your business in a way that money is so tight you have to take every client, whether you work well together or not. [20:40] There are certain clients that are going to make you miserable but you get to make that choice. [20:53] Stephanie first thought that she would just do the work that she knew how to do and it would be very easy, and relaxing. She thought she wouldn’t have to work as hard. [21:12] Stephanie feels like she has put more energy into it than she thought she would but she’s passionate about what she does. The hours and the days seem to fly by. She’s not watching a clock. Her work blends easily with her life. [21:35] Stephanie sets limits to her work time. She has family time and she meets a friend every week for a long lunch. But she doesn’t forget her work at the end of the day She’s always thinking of what she can make better and what she can do next. She looks forward to the challenges every day. It’s much more than just a job; it’s a real part of her. [22:55] Stephanie talks about the online course she is launching. She found that a lot of people her age who have worked in an office for many years have a lot of fears and doubts about working at home or wherever they want to work. They don’t understand how that plays together. [23:30] Stephanie created a very simple course and teaches it the way she wishes someone had taught her, on how to take what you do right now and how to go find clients that want to hire you for those skills. [23:46] In her course, Stephanie walks you through how to write emails to prospective clients showing what you can do for them, how to follow up with those prospects, and how to create your profiles online so that someone looking for a VA or a project manager will see you and be drawn to you. [24:08] Stephanie teaches the very basic steps that get you from beginning to end as far as finding the clients and getting the money coming in. That’s a big fear if you’ve had 20 years in an office with good pay, benefits, and security. To walk away from all of that is a scary, scary thing. [24:35] If you have a job now, you can start working through this course on the side and bringing on a few clients. You will charge more per hour than you were paid in an office, keeping in mind that you have to pay for your insurance. When you have enough clients on the side, you can seamlessly walk over and go on your own. [25:06] This course teaches you how to do that. You don’t buy a lot of equipment, you don’t have to create a website, and you don’t have to put all this money into a business. To start, you just take what you know and you start telling other people about it and helping them out, and they pay you for it. It’s as easy as that. [25:31] Stephanie sells the course to do at your own pace, when you want. Stephanie also does a private Facebook group for questions and answers in Live Q&As with her. It’s a hand-holding process for how to get started until you’re ready to leave the office. [25:51] Marc refers back to Episode 14 with Taylor Pearson, the author of The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5. Taylor Pearson calls this process stair-stepping your way out. [26:21] You can do as Stephanie did, having a little cushion to support her at first, or you can build it up on the side until you are confident in going on your own full-time. Stephanie is confident that if you have used those skills in the corporate world for several years, you can use them successfully in your own online business. [26:43] Companies are craving people who have done the work, who know how to show up and hit deadlines. It’s hard to find that type of person. They need you. Stephanie wants to teach people how to get out there and do it. [27:05] Administrative assistant jobs in big corporations are going away but the work isn’t going away. To solopreneurs, independent contractors, and small service firms who don’t want to hire a full-time employee, this makes perfect sense. [27:34] Stephanie’s course is on the home page at StephanieBrodt.com. Sign up for the webinar on Insider Secrets. That will also lead to the course. You can reach out to Stephanie by phone or email on her website. [29:06] Virtual Assistants are a relatively new concept in the last 10 years or so. Marc tells how he uses Stephanie’s services. Because Marc gives deadlines to Stephanie, it forces him to get things on time to her. [30:17] Marc thanks Stephanie for being on the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [30:26] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. Being a virtual assistant is one of the ways you can gain freedom from the ‘nine-to-five grind.’ Stephanie enjoys both the job and the freedom it allows her to pursue her life dream.

EP #66: Leveling Up In a society where CEOs are only 27% female, we must go above and beyond to push cultural evolution and continue to level up. As a mom and the CEO/Owner of Red Oak Realty, with over 100 agents and 15 staff members, Vanessa Bergmark knows that finding synergy and mission alignment with the right people allows the opportunities to create themselves. ~Kyle Malnati, REALTOR Calibrate Real Estate 900 East Louisiana Avenue #203, Denver, CO 80210 http://www.CalibrateRE.com Intro created by the team of Hey Mr Digital Media based out of Denver Colorado.

When Stephanie's employers were refusing projects she'd have loved to take on, she set up her own business on the side and began teaching people about the importance of the work she was doing. Seeing how popular the idea was, Stephanie's employers soon asked her to shut down her business and bring the work in-house. Stephanie said no. She's since had a book published on the subject, ran workshops for the United Nations, given international keynote speeches, built a virtual team of 6, and launched her own online academy that serves hundreds of students each year. Imagine if she hadn't said no all those years ago...If she hadn’t believed in herself and recognised the benefits of being freelance… This episode is supported by FreeAgent - online accounting software that makes managing your business finances a breeze.

Captain Stephanie Lincoln spent 10 years in the US Army before transitioning out and starting her career in nutrition and fitness. Fire Team Whiskey came about after Steph saw how many soldiers were overweight and afflicted with so many health conditions like high blood pressure, injuries, etc. This trend isn't unique to the Army ( as much as we Marines would like to believe). All branches of the military have gotten fatter, following the trend of the US population in general. When Stephanie saw this happening to active duty military she sounded off with a resounding "Hell no!" and optimized her own fitness and nutrition before founding Fire Team Whiskey, an app-based personal fitness and nutrition service geared to help active duty and military veterans take charge of their health with a ketogenic approach to eating.   I am taking the plunge into a high-fat eating template to get my body fat-adapted. Steph will be coming on the show each month to go over my progress with adapting a ketogenic nutrition approach as I am training up for Ironman Santa Rosa in May of 2019.   In this episode we also cover eating disorders, specifically my own struggle with binge eating and purging. This encompasses both nutrition and mental health, which Stephanie points out is important to address with a mental health professional.    Listeners can sign up with Fire Team Whiskey with a whopping 40% off and get started today.

Caregiving for Dementia Caregiver Gone Episode # 62 This week’s show, I’ve called caregiver gone because I am the main caregiver and I’m going to be gone for almost 2 days. Although I’m going to be fairly close to home. I’m not going to be right here to take care of Mama. With me not going to be home for 2 days that leaves Michael and Stephanie to take care Mama and they do things different than I do, and Mama’s not used to that. Mama is used to me mom is used to the way I do things. So I’m worried that the change may be a bit hard for Mama. I have left the house for a couple of hours here in a couple hours there. Leaving either Michael or Stephanie to take care of mom, since mamas gotten sick. I haven’t left her for 2 days. Every time I leave the house. I feel a little guilty because I’m the one that’s needs to be taking care mom. This will be the 1st time that I’ve gone off and left mom for any length of time and yes I do feel extremely guilty. When Stephanie and I went to our support group for caregivers’ One of the things that they tried to push for was taking care of yourself 1st. It was said. If you don’t take care yourself you not going to be able to take care of the one you’re caring for. That made perfect sense then and it makes perfect sense now. However, leaving for 2 days or leaving for any amount of significant time I feel very guilty, but I guess feeling guilty is just part of taking care of someone. You feel like you’re not doing your job. You feel like something’s going to happen to the one you’re caring for If you leave them for any amount of time. Whether or not your taking care of someone, life goes on. There are things that happen. There are things that you want to do. There are things that you do that may or may not take you away from the one you’re caring for X amount of time. Some of the things that you want to do cost money it cost you to do some things. And you need to decide whether or not taking a break from caregiving is worth it. DC pod Fest is this weekend and I decided to go. I’ve put the money out to go, but I still feel guilty even putting the money out to go to something where our learn something. I’ll meet new friends I’ll be able to see some friends from last year. It’s a year later, when mom’s a little worse, so the guilt a little stronger, but needing a break is even, a stronger need. It’ll be interesting to see how things go with me. Not being here. When I get back what kind of attitude, well I come back to. Will they want to stick around or will they want to leave for a few hours. Only time will answer this question. Only time will help Mama get used to other caregivers.

Stephanie’s is an absolute inspiration and I know her story will positively affect thousands of people’s lives when it gets out there. When Stephanie came to us she had been struggling with mental and physical health issues for 15 years. She had tried all the conventional medical routes to no avail. However, I’m pleased to say through holistic methods she is in a much better place today, so much so she is able to share her powerful story with you today. Something she would never have had been able to do only a couple of months ago. In this episode we discuss: Stephanie’s long-term struggles How Stephanie dealt with multiple miscarriages Stephanie’s long struggle with endometriosis The toll her mental and physical issues took on her marriage and her professional golf career Where she was mentally and physically when she started to work with us compared to where she is now How her mental and physical health has improved through working on the body holistically How she is now able to share her story - something she never thought she would be able to do How she has started her own blog documenting her journey & much more This is a powerful episode with an extremely powerful message. Stephanie’s story is one that everyone needs to hear, especially people who are going through their own physical and mental health issues. It will give hope to all the people who currently think there is no way out of their struggles.

Meet Stephanie Schiff the Executive Director of Connect Us a Denver-based nonprofit, whose mission is to develop skills in young children necessary to becoming socially competent, self-confident, and resilient individuals through physical, creative, and collaborative play in a guided learning environment.  Stephanie talks about the importance of play and socialization especially for children on the autism spectrum.  She also addresses the social challenges that children with autism face on the playground and gives helpful ways to encourage engagement and connection. In this episode we will discuss acceptance and inclusion and how it all starts on the playground.  Children socialize through play, not in a therapeutic office.  Stephanie shares how her program, Connect Us, teaches social skills in organic environments such as the playground and teaches children at a young age to be self-confident, inclusive, and accepting of ALL players on the playground. IN THIS EPISODE: - In this episode Stephanie Schiff, who is the Executive Director of Connect Us a non-profit program based out of Denver, CO, joins us. - Connect Us is a non-profit organization that brings together all types of kids, at all types of developmental levels together and through intentional play the facilitators build self-confidence and social skills in order to create inclusive communities. - Stephanie is amazing and what she has done is amazing. Some background about Stephanie, she has a son with autism and started Connect Us to help teach her son how to socialize. - When Stephanie’s son started kindergarten he was trying so hard to make friends and fit in, but he just didn’t have the skills. Stephanie tried to get the school to help him integrate with other kids and help him socially. In a nutshell, they basically told her that they needed to be concentrating on test scores. The school told her that they didn’t have the luxury of helping her son to connect socially. - Stephanie’s son started to withdraw and became depressed.  Before that he was a very happy child. He could not express what was going on so Stephanie started hanging out on the playground especially during recess.  She saw her son walking around the perimeter of the playground by himself. Anytime he would attempt to play he couldn’t. - We are sure parents and professionals can relate to this story… watching their son or daughter walking around the playground alone and not really understanding how to socialize. - We like to remind adults that kids socialize through play. - It is really important to teach our kids how to play, and not in a robotic way, but in a natural way. - Connect Us intentionally uses organic social environments like recess, summer camps, and after school programs to model and teach kids social skills. - Connect Us does it through guided and collaborative play. - Playing organically is important.  Playing in a therapy room is different than playing on a playground because there is more stimuli to be accounted for. - When you are on the playground there’s so many things that go on that children aren’t prepared for because it’s so spontaneous. - Stephanie’s team does an amazing job with knowing when to step in and prompt a child so that they are successful socially and when to step out. - A lot of times when we go into schools we see aides over prompt children during play where they are hand over hand prompting and that’s not natural.  It is important to know when to step in and prompt and when to pull back. - Stephanie tells her staff that they will know what they are doing is working when they are doing nothing.  When they can just stand back and see that every single child is engaged.  When they are not working that’s when they have hit their goal. - Stephanie calls recess the “Lord of the Flies,” because you have 100 kids and 3 aides.  The aides job is to put out fires.  They do not engage with kids or to solve problems.  In fact what the aides teach kids to stop tattling. - So what we teach kids right away is adults don’t want to hear they have a problem.  They are teaching kids to bottle up their problems and keep it to themselves.  They don’t teach the skills for children to survive on the playground. - So the “Lord of Flies” mentality is survival of the fittest. So if you are a kid with issues or developmental disabilities, you inherently do not have the skills to survive on the playground. - Those kids become ostracized… they become “loners” on the playground. - It is really important to have programs like Connect Us to help teach kids to accept and be inclusive especially on the playground where kids socialize. - Children spend 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, 9 months out of the year at school.  It is a social laboratory and adults have a responsibility to help these kids not just learn how to write and do math but how to relate to other people, how to make friends, how to include everybody. - Stephanie also adds that it is really important to remember it is not about test scores.  Test scores can only get you so far in life.  In order to hold a job and maintain a job you have to have social skills.  Social skills are life skills. That’s how you learn to live independently. - If we just focus on human connection vs. human accomplishment I think a lot could change. - Social Skills are especially critical for kids with autism.  Stephanie found a study from the CDC in 2013 that children with autism are 28 times more likely to consider or attempt suicide.  These children are at increased risk, and it’s not due to neurological differences but due to social factors. - Stephanie talks about how a lot of people think that children with autism brains are just different.  However, it is years of exclusion and not understanding why people are not fitting in is what is causing this to happen. - Early intervention programs or meeting kids where they live, which is practically the playground, can prevent and address social exclusion and bullying. - Teaching kids how to play on the playground can save a child’s life by reducing social anxiety and depression. - Teaching kids that it is ok to be different… who cares.  We all have something we are good at and we all have something we struggle with. - We need to normalize those differences and make it not a big deal. - The one thing that surprised Stephanie at the start of her journey is that everything is teachable.  If we don’t take the time to teach our kids, they don’t know what they don’t’ know. - It’s a 50/50 proposition is how Stephanie thinks of it.  Children have a responsibility to learn social skills we as adults have a responsibility teach it. - You are not going to build skills in a therapist’s office.  It has to happen in natural environments out on the playground and afterschool programs. - The skills generalize but it takes practice, practice, practice and confidence, confidence, and confidence! - As a community its give and take. You have to be involved. - It is the community’s responsibility as well. It takes a village. - Stephanie highly recommends that parents see what their kid is doing at recess.  Then to ask their teacher how do other kids treat their child and how does their child treat others. - Become your child’s advocate and that’s what Stephanie did at an early stage. - Stephanie was climbing trees and had kids on her back.  She had to be the fun mom because her son didn’t inherently understand social skills. - Stephanie also recommends to play and have fun and laugh.  Be a kid again! Learn to Mindshift… Below are the three Mindshifts from this podcast: Connecting Us is about developing that human connection and really connecting with others. This week’s homework is to spend 10-minutes a day to really connect with your child. RESOURCE: Connect Us is based out of Denver, Colorado.

Stephanie became pregnant with her son London, at a busy time in her life. She was planning a wedding, working full time, and naive to what labor was like with little time to research. When the day came to deliver her baby, she ended up having a C-section and although overjoyed with the arrival of her baby boy, she knew the next time around, she would do things differently. When Stephanie learned she was pregnant with her daughter Paris, she did her research and found doctors that supported a vaginal birth after c-section (VBAC) and was successfully able to delivery her daughter vaginally with minimal medications. She shares her birth stories and provides us insight on the differences between nursing her children. Stephanie also discusses her continued breastfeeding after she returned to work and how she maintained her supply to successfully breastfeed both children for 6 months and beyond.

Sometimes in life you get what you always want. Or what you thought you wanted. And it turns out to be different than you imagined. Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball and your path takes a sudden detour. On this edition of Out to Lunch Stepahanie is catching up with two of her first Out to Lunch guests, whose careers have both taken a dramatic turn since she first met them in the summer of 2015. Richard Hanley is the owner of Hanley s Foods, a homegrown company whose line of all natural salad dressings is taking supermarkets by storm. When Stephanie first met Rick, he said his goal was to be the next Hidden Valley. He s well on his way last year, Walmart inked a deal with the mom and pop company and agreed to carry four of Hanley s five dressings at all 120 of its locations in Louisiana, as well as some of its stores in Arkansas and Mississippi. Richard and his wife Kate are still the only two employees at Hanley s and they make all their product by hand, so keeping up with the damand from a mega big box retailer has changed the way Richard thinks about his product and doing business. It s a good problem to have. When Stephanie last met Patrick Mulhearn, he was director of Celtic Studios here in baton rouge and a tireless advocate of the state s film industry, which was thriving for nearly a decade until the legislature in 2015 took away most of the incentives that had lured Hollywood producers here. While Patrick was dealing with the downturn in business, the catastrophic flood of 2016 occurred in the Capital Region, and Patrick s empty movie studio became a makeshift shelter literally overnight and he became its public face and voice. It made Patrick rethink what s important and what he wanted to do with his life. Earlier this year he decided to leave the dying movie industry and embark on a new career path. Today, well, that path is at a crossroads. Photos at Mansurs on the Boulevard by Ken Stewart. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
