Today's episode is about the power of believing in yourself, even if the people around you don't. Having the courage to pursue the life you want isn't easy, and it's especially hard when the people around you put you in a box, or limit what they believe you can do. But Buddhism teaches us how to live a life of unlimited courage. Our guest is Jenny Ye, of Michigan who started her practice of SGI Nichiren Buddhism as a teenager in South Korea.After being given little choice about her career options because of her gender, she decided to chant to transform her relationship with her family and believe in her own dreams. Today, she shares that journey and how, after conquering her fears back home, she was able to navigate entering a male-dominated industry in the United States, where she faced similar disbelief. Still, she won over it all.CHEAT SHEET2:07 Why Jenny started chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo4:08 How she knew chanting worked 5:13 How her relationship with her father changed10:40 What it took to begin a new career-path on her own terms17:35 How she dealt with feeling like an outsider in the U.S.19:55 How she learned to believe in herself24:20 Her favorite Buddhist concept about individuality28:37 Her dream for the future30:37 How her dad feels about her Buddhist practice now33:32 Advice for anyone who feels limited by their environment or circumstances

But now, here's Jenny. Introducing author Jenny Ashcroft Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Jenny, and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Jenny Ashcroft: Thank you very much. It's great to be here. Jenny Wheeler: You are in COVID – well you're very successfully combating COVID in Britain these days, aren't you, but you are in Brighton. Jenny Ashcroft: Yes, it's been a long winter, a very, very long winter here in lockdown. My kids have only just gone back to school. The schools were shut since December, everything's been shut, so it's been a really long haul with quite a grey and dark winter as well, not a lot of sunshine has broken through, so we're all very happy to see spring on its way. Jenny Ashcroft Historical fiction author Jenny Wheeler: You have made your specialty area historic fiction, but outside of some of the more traditional settings. First and Second World War, but also related to India, British occupied Egypt, Singapore, Australia, rather than just the traditional European setting. You have also included a lot of stories about family conflicts, misunderstandings, and secrets, which I think readers always love – misunderstandings and secrets. What drew you to this particular niche in the beginning? Jenny Ashcroft: It's a hard one. I think probably the biggest thing is that I have got a lot of experience, personally, of living overseas. I'm married to an Australian, so I've spent a chunk of time in Sydney, but we also lived for six years in Singapore, and they were the years I started writing – when we were still in Sydney and in Singapore, so I think there was a natural inclination in me to write about the experiences of people who were not living where they've grown up. A preference for exotic settings Also, I've read a lot of books set during those periods that I've really loved. I think when anyone starts writing, they think about what are the books they love to read most. I feel that's what a lot of authors do, you write the books you would love to read. For me, that was part of what drove me to write, love of those stories that I discovered. I think those two things together, having enjoyed stories set in those places plus the fact that I was experiencing living overseas myself, drew me to write those settings. Jenny Wheeler: The very first one you wrote was Beneat...

Today’s conversation is with Jennifer Wallace, a wonderful expositor to the main ideas of value investing, but also a very deep thinker when it comes to the interaction of value investing and the market at large. Jenny is the co-founder of Summit Street Capital Management, where she is the portfolio manager of the US equity value fund. She's also a Columbian through and through as she holds a BA from Columbia College and an MBA from Columbia Business School.

Jenny is queer, fat, and femme, and she's passionate about cultivating a safe space in the outdoors for people of all backgrounds and body sizes. Unlikely Hikers is just two years old, but its positive reception proves that the time is right for outdoor media and meetups that include rather than exclude, and encourage people to occupy their bodies rather than critique them. We talk with Jenny about Unlikely Hikers' growth, how straight-sized people can be considerate of others while in the outdoors, where she finds her hiking apparel, and more.

Money. The very thought of it can make people squirm in the seats. The word alone has the power to conjure up feelings of anger, jealousy, despair, excitement, fear, anxiety, and gratitude. The good news is, money doesn't have to be a dirty word. And our relationship to it can truly be life-changing. Which is why I'm so excited to be sitting down with my good friend Jenny Karlsson, the brilliant mind behind Financials for Creatives. Jenny is, in my estimation, the perfect combination of left and right brain, with a love for both photography and numbers. Our conversation is a candid one and focuses on both the practical and softer sides of money. We talk money mindset and how the stories we carry around money, success, and work really impact our relationship with money. We also explore how Jenny uses tarot and crystals to support her work, as well as the more traditional approaches like budgeting, spending plans, and YNAB. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I have and that it gives you plenty of food for thought when it comes to your personal relationship with money. I’d love to hear from you! What stood out most from Jenny’s interview? How can you begin to shift your relationship with money by embracing some of the tools Jenny shared? Topics Discussed: An introduction to Jenny Karlsson and the work she does through Financials for Creatives Where Jenny's love for numbers came from The problem with looking left to right versus inside when it comes to money Money as a data point and how to make sure your spending and your values are in alignment Money blocks, self-worth, and how those things relate to our feelings about money The stories that we have told ourselves over the years about money and how they've impacted our lives Why having a coach is a godsend when it comes to working through our money "stuff" How Jenny uses non-traditional tools like tarot and crystals to address money issues Having a JOY budget and setting aside money for the things that bring you joy Using crystals to help support your money goals Why Jenny loves and recommends You Need A Budget What everyday magic looks and feels like to Jenny Resource Links: Connect with Jenny Karlsson online: Website | Instagram | Pinterest Profit First* by Mike Michalowicz Sacred Creators Oracle by Chris-Anne Donnelly You Need A Budget (YNAB) Morning Pages by Julia Cameron Hit me up: Twitter: @emilylevenson and #somekindofmagic Instagram: @emilylevenson and #somekindofmagic FB Page: Emily Levenson Pinterest: Emily Levenson

Since entering the workforce, Millennials have gotten a bad rap. There is a long list of complaints levied against them… mostly by the crowd that falls into GenX and older. In this interview, Dave Prior and John Tanner from LeadingAgile are joined by Jenny Madorsky, a Millennial who is a Project Manager at Huge. Dave is GenX and harbors a secret fear the internet will break and go away forever. John is in between the two (and would like you to get off his lawn) but self-identifies as being more on the Millennial side. During this podcast they explore the way Millennials approach working and collaboration. They dig into some of the stereotypes that crop up when people complain about Millennials and GenX, as well as how a Millennial’s view differs from the older crowd’s. In the final portion of the interview, the discussion turns towards what GenXers can do to be better prepared for working with Millennials in order to better support them. 0:08 Interview Begins 00:42 Introductions 01:44 Jenny’s areas of focus in college are a secret weapon - Mechanical Engineering & Theater Studies 03:18 Defining what we mean by Millennial 03:36 A Millennial explains Millennials (experience over stuff) 04:50 What is challenging about working with GenX 07:40 The changing relationship between employee and company 09:33 Get Mentors! 11:54 Building lasting relationships and networks though shared work experiences 12:34 Broad knowledge vs Deep knowledge 14:25 What can employers do to make the work place more enticing to Millennials? 17:17 Consumers of employers… who offers the best experience? 19:37 Do you need different skill sets to interact with different age groups? 21:42 How can older generations be better prepared to work with Millennials? 24:05 Sometimes the gift of feedback can be a tough thing to receive 26:27 Helping the other person be open to feedback (Shout out to Sally Elatta!) 30:10 Jenny asks John and Dave for their perception of working with Millennials 31:20 Curiosity perceived as arrogance “I’m still expecting the internet to just shut off one day..” 32:29 Positive dissonance in the workspace 34:04 Knowing when to contribute and when to listen 35:27 Why Jenny chose to make the switch from Program Manager to Project Manager 37:17 Applying Agile practices in a Digital Agency 40:27 Agile for the Millennial crowd… do we need a new Manifesto? 44:02 Closing Reaching Jenny LinkedIn http://bit.ly/2dL0PeP Reaching John Twitter http://twitter.com/tannerjs LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/tannerjs LeadingAgile http://www.leadingagile.com/guides/john-tanner/ Other Links from the Podcast Huge http://www.hugeinc.com Sally Elatta http://www.linkedin.com/in/elatta Other Links from the Podcast Huge https://www.hugeinc.com Sally Elatta https://www.linkedin.com/in/elatta
