Named one of the 11 Influential Black Women in Travel You Should Know by Travel Noire, Rachel Hill is a trailblazing Travelpreneur, Speaker, and Published Author. With a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) in Marketing, she has merged her Tech and Digital Marketing expertise and passion for travel into a global brand. Her engaged audience of over 30,000 sees her as a leader in both the travel and tourism space and the Digital Marketing industry. Utilizing her marketing and Influencer expertise, Rachel coaches new and aspiring Travel Brand Business creators and on how to build successful online brands, how to create valuable content, and how to monetize their brands. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Rachel Hill about how travel influencers can help brands reach niche markets. She shares her insights on demystifying travel in the Black community and gives an example of a successful creative influencer campaign she worked on to flip the narrative on cold-weather destinations. Rachel also breaks down the KPIs that she thinks are most important for influencer marketing and why it's much more valuable to focus on the impact of a campaign rather than how many likes you get. What You Will Learn: The best ways for destinations to approach influencers Why it's critical to have a coherent strategy when working with travel influencers How to measure interest and conversion rates from campaigns with influencers Best practices for influencer marketing to niche audiences How destinations can ensure they are open, authentic, and diverse in their marketing materials Why Rachel believes this is the perfect time for organizations and travel brands to be innovative and creative to attract visitors Engaging Your Audience When travel destinations approach influencers, it is important that they really understand whether that influencer's values and content align with theirs. There is no point in pursuing influencers with huge follower numbers if their audience doesn't connect to your purpose. A recent shift in destination marketing has seen a move towards micro-influencers who have engaged audiences who trust their opinion and direction. Don't focus on the numbers — focus on the impact. Niche Audiences If a destination wants to tap into a new niche audience, it's essential to be authentic by working with someone who can represent that niche audience well. You can shift the narrative and open up your region to travelers who had not previously considered it a place to visit by asking for the feedback of an influencer in that niche group. Rachel Hill gives her perspective on approaching influencers in a specific niche and outlines the best practices for influencer marketing to niche audiences.

To reach your soul's potential, you must grow through pain. When we resist growth, we suffer. When we remain emotionally and spiritually immature, we resist and fight what is; we take stances, we create and continue to manifest duality and programs of separation. Growth really means to drop into your heart space and get out of your mind because thinking ruins everything. - Rachel Fiori   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 396 Mystical Therapist, Spiritual Teacher, and Creator Of Masters of Self University, Rachel Fiori, shares spiritual and practical tools to help raise your emotional IQ, explains how to fulfill your unique soul's potential plus will guide you to your human spirit integration point and how to create sacred relationships from that space.   How can you stop overthinking and running old programs in your head to fully drop into your heart?   By the end of this episode you will gain the first steps for self mastery of the emotional, behavioral, and mental programs that show up in your psyche.   Belcampo Farms Get 20% off of your first Belcampo order with the code WELLNESSFORCE Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals. What started as one mom’s desire to feed her family the healthiest meat possible became a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out. Belcampo is the pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerkies. The company is on a mission to revolutionize the meat industry for the well-being of people, the planet, and animals by farming meat the right way – with Certified Humane, regenerative, and climate-positive practices, which means it’s better for you, the planet and the animals.

Her mission to help people master life and love. Breaking down her definition of the word, 'potential.' Why so many of us have been brought up to believe that our potential is how successful we can be and why that's simply not true. The fact that we limit ourselves when we only focus on success and how much money we can make. Unpacking the one critical spiritual law that will help you break past limitations when you integrate it into your life:You are spirit but you are also human. Breaking down the differences between the human and the spiritual potential. How pain compares to suffering and how the soul's potential grows through pain.   [14:00] Unpacking Our Emotional, Mental, and Behavior Programs The friction she felt in her heart and soul while working as an occupational therapist and how she wanted to help people. Her curiosity wondering why some people heal but others don't or won't. 277 Christine Hassler  Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler How her moral ethics ultimately clashed with work in western medicine and she decided to leave and begin her own business. The power in trusting in the Universe even if you don't understand why things are happening the way they are now. Why you should ask yourself what you're meant to learn, how you're supposed to grow, and how you're going to get through difficult moments when they happen. 213 Bonnie Kelly Why it's key to understand how you show up in the world, your triggers, and your behaviors during a personal development journey. The fact that you will never heal anything if you only focus on fixing your behavior programs and dive deep into the emotional and mental ones. Byron Katie   [25:00] What A Spiritual Awakening Experience Is Closing the gap between knowing and doing. Why wisdom, not knowledge, is power. How humanity has lost divine responsibility and what you can do to gain that back. Why it's absolute divine ignorance to believe that you can have anything that you want at the snap of your fingers. Breaking down what a true spiritual awakening is, why it is a lifelong process, and why it is not for the faint of heart. What a soul contract is and why it's different than the concept of free will and choice. How our higher soul has chosen certain life experiences for us before we were even born so that we can learn specific skills, thoughts, and feelings. Why we're self-sabotaging ourselves when we let the fear of success and programs of low self-worth hold us back in the comfort zone. How we deny reality and essentially half of who we are when we embrace the idea of "good vibes only" and don't embrace our emotional pain.   [40:00] Generational Pains & Inherited Programming The impact of her father dying when she was 5 years old and her mother remarrying a physician who was extraordinarily abusive emotionally, psychologically, and sometimes physically. Why we shouldn't take other people's programs personal, even our own parents, because it has nothing to do with us. How our programs can lead us to reenact our own childhoods without us even realizing it such as the example of Rachel's stepfather. Alan Watts What steps you can take with her program to delete old programs and recognize your triggers. Why she seldomly takes clients who haven't had past therapy sessions or guidance because they're not ready for the real work to heal. The fact that relationships aren't here to make you happy; they're to make you more conscious. Why we'll never be able to offer healthy love to another human unless we love and accept ourselves first.   [50:00] Why Our Triggers Are Gifts How triggers can help guide us because they show us where in our lives we don't feel free. Josh's own past triggers and how he has healed what has haunted him. How to check in with yourself and show up in the world as the person you want to be in your life. Why you're not wrong for being where you with your life and neither is anyone else; no judgement. The importance of getting rid of duality in our nation and opposing people because those are programs of separation. How a global 'Dark Night Of The Soul' is occurring on this planet and the pandemic is part of that to show us where we are at standing on opposite sides pointing the finger in judgement instead of facing each other and taking a step towards a loving balance. Why our society is at the age of a preschooler when you consider all of the harm we do to each other or could do with the nuclear weapons we have created. Unpacking both karma (collective and personal) and the law of attraction. Her take on the law of attraction and how the phrase has become such a cliché. Why we usually think of karma as something negative but it can be the universe giving you the next challenge that will take you deeper and higher into yourself.   [58:00] The Space Between The Head & The Heart The pure fact that our thoughts, our emotions, our behavioral actions and we ourselves are nothing but energy. Exploring the programs that we are running through our minds when we judge someone else such as if they're wearing a face mask for example. How to get to zero karmic debt by opening your heart to loving everything and everyone. How exactly generational thoughts, patterns, and beliefs are passed down by the way that we are raised and that is not the same thing as karma. Power vs Force by David R. Hawkins Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins The fact that no matter who we are on this planet, our minds are "bat-shit crazy" and never meant to be the CEO but the heart is. Why we will never experience actual bliss that is in the core center of our heart when we are not anchored in it. What it means to allow the power and the light that you are to grow and expand in the face of anything when you are connected to heart energy. The guidance that you will receive from her program, Masters Of Self University. Differences between the heart chakra and the heart space. The steps she takes people through to get connected to their heart space and energy to heal and deprogram.   [1:14:00] Are You Willing & Devoted To Do The Work? Exploring the dark side to healing such as through tools like plant medicine. Bad experiences Josh has gone through during and after an Ayahuasca ceremony which has been a beautiful lesson for him. Why it' so important that the people who go through her program are divinely responsible, awakened, educated, and trained enough for the inner work process. Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday Steven Pressfield  Dr. V. Vernon Woolf and Holodynamics Why so many people believe that the ego is the enemy but is it really? Rachel's view on the ego and why she refers to it as the shadow self, low vibrational mental programs, and inner child wounds. Why Rachel believes that the ego can be our best teacher and you will not authentically heal and be more conscious if you do not move through darkness. What mystic spiritualism really is: being a realist as you dissolve all the allusions of the ego.   [1:22:45] How To Mystically Parent Yourself Breaking down how you can mystically parent yourself through your healing journey. Paul Chek | All Is God 390 Hamilton Souther Why she believes both that things happen for a reason and that experiences are divinely guided. How our programming makes us reenact our childhood over and over again until we fully understand them. The universal truth that weak people don't heal and how they can get stronger so that they may heal. How to start learning the universal divine truth language and why it doesn't begin with, "My truth is..." Why healing only happens in the presence of love; weak people don't love, they hate, judge, and spiritual bypassing. Why things like meditation are supportive tools and not a waste of time but it's important to know that they are not transformational healing methods. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Your Spirit & Human Potential "Live from heart centeredness in the sense that you are so powerful that whatever the universe throws at you, no matter how painful, you will love yourself through it and you will love everything and everyone that comes your way even when it is painful. That is your soul's potential - to spiritual maturate. Your human potential means that you can become so emotionally resilient that no matter what the universe throws at you, you've got it and you're gonna make it through no matter what." - Rachel Fiori   Accept, Love, and Transform Yourself "When you learn how to work with mental, emotional, behavioral programs, you also then learn what your inner child is doing, saying, how it's being activated, and how old you really are when you're being triggered and something of discord is awoken within you. You will learn what all these pieces are at the deepest transformational levels in order to then see them, love them, take divine responsibility for them, and then transform them so that they are no longer a part of who you are." - Rachel Fiori   The Ego Is Your Best Teacher "Your ego is your darkness, your shadow self, that part of you that keeps itself small and doesn't realize what power actually means. What heart centeredness actually means. The ego doesn't like to live in reality, it likes to live in its own made up belief world. The ego is selfish but it's our biggest teacher because we would not embrace, honor, and offer selfless love if we didn't first experience adversity. If you want to awaken, you have to go deep into that ugly truth and do the real work." - Rachel Fiori     Links From Today's Show  Masters of Self University “How to Raise Your Emotional IQ” 277 Christine Hassler  Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler 213 Bonnie Kelly Byron Katie Alan Watts Power vs Force by David R.

The Noobie Dentist Podcast – Rachel Jackson Episode Run Time: 00:52:06   Intro Today, I chat with Rachel Jackson. Rachel graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2004 with a BSc in Medical Illustration. After a few years of work and starting a family, Rachel decided to go back into clinical dentistry and completed a course in dental therapy in 2013. While doing the course and working, Rachel decided she wanted more of a clinical scope and decided to get into dentistry, leading her to the University of Aberdeen in 2017. She is currently a dental student and continues her artwork. A few years ago, her artwork began to get noticed and she was commissioned by the British Dental Journal to illustrate a series of covers for the 100th year anniversary of their BDA Library, which is what shes been illustrating for the past few months. In this week’s episode, we talk about what motivated her to go back to school and get her credentials, and what has been the ambition behind her ongoing evolution and not settling for where she was. We talk about the power of art in dentistry, and science in general, as well as Rachel’s hope to leave behind a legacy of art and excellent patient care.

When you hear the word therapy, does it bring up positive or negative emotions for you? Therapy used to be something I didn’t think I needed and gave a it a major bad rap.

On today’s episode of Just the Tips, Dean and I welcome a good friend of ours, Rachel Pedersen, aka the Queen of Social Media, aka the woman who dethroned the previous Queen of Social Media, Dean Holland. Rachel is the founder of Social Media United and is a top social media marketer and consultant, and leading authority on storytelling through social media and Facebook ads. She’s so in-demand she’s doing this interview from the back seat of an Uber, and we’re so glad to have her. How to be more engaging on social media Rachel told us about how for a long time, she worked in a buttoned-up corporate job, and so when she discovered social media and began using it for marketing, one rule rose above all else: Be yourself. And that wasn’t easy for her at her corporate job. And as she says, even making that decision was so difficult—abandoning the safety net of corporate. But as you’ll hear on this episode of Just the Tips, Rachel is a natural when it comes to social media, and she’s especially talented at helping others leverage social media. You don’t want to miss this. How to find clients on LinkedIn According to Rachel on this week’s episode of Just the Tips, LinkedIn is highly underrated for entrepreneurs. It’s not sexy or fun with a lot of bells and whistles, but as she’s shown me in the past, LinkedIn can be a highly effective lead-generation tool. LinkedIn is all about building and expanding your network, which means you’re expanding your opportunities to find clients. So we use Dean as an example of someone who is vaguely aware of social media, and walk him through how he can get started using LinkedIn to grow his business. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Which social media platform should you focus on for your business? Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat—there are so many platforms these days that business owners are told they should be on. But really, what’s best for your business? Rachel says there isn’t as much of a demographic difference depending on the site (except Pinterest, which is about 70% women). This may surprise you, but Rachel suggests that Instagram is probably the most difficult platform to grow organically. As she says, unless you’re a celebrity, it’s very difficult to get people to care about your photos. Rachel tells us on this week’s episode of Just the Tips that you’re better off investing your time where your audience is. The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make on social media Here’s the thing: Even your customers who love you don’t want to hear about your product all the time. And that is the one big, major mistake that Rachel sees entrepreneurs making all of the time. If you’re supposed to be yourself on social media, you wouldn’t talk about your product to your friends and family all day long, right? Organic social media just isn’t about products, it’s about So how do you make people care about what you’re doing on social media? Rachel tells us all about it on this week’s episode of Just the Tips. Outline of This Episode [3:46] How people can be more engaging on social media [5:09] The fundamentals of making viral posts [7:27] Why Rachel left her 9 to 5 [9:51] How Rachel got her business off the ground in six months [15:30] How to get started on LinkedIn and generate leads with almost no effort [22:30] Which social media platform should you focus on?

For episode 40 we're pulling back the curtain to see what successful fitness operations and new technologies are creating loyal customers from the co-owner of one of the top 10 gyms in the United States, Rachel Cosgrove from Results Fitness. For all sizes of clubs across the industry, we realize now more than ever how truly important it is for operators to focus on personalized communication and engagement through social media, email, and text to meet the demands of the fast-evolving customer experience our members are asking for.  In this show, you'll learn from Rachel why she believes it's the hand-crafted emails and time-capped Facebook contests that can deliver high value to members outside the club, what lessons she's learned from over 20 years in fitness, what are the best practices in the transitions from trainer to a successful operator, and why the boomer generation are now requesting more text communication for fitness as their digital literacy increases. It's clear that even with a high performing facility like Results Fitness and many others, there are still some very large gaps to be filled when it comes to integrating technology solutions seamlessly into both the fitness professional's toolbox and to a customer's journey. But what does one of the top 10 gyms in America do to for both human touch and technology integration for successful fitness operations? The answer to that question and much more takeaways for club owners, operators, and fitness pros in this episode with Rachel Cosgrove.  About Rachel Cosgrove  Rachel Cosgrove is the co-owner of Results Fitness, voted one of the top 10 gyms in the United States three years in a row by Men’s Health Magazine. She is a consultant for Nike, on the advisory board for Livestrong.com and Women's Health Magazine, and is a featured columnist for Women’s Health Magazine and the Huffington Post. Rachel is the best selling author of the "The Female Body Breakthrough," and has also been featured in numerous magazines including Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Oxygen and many many more including Dr. Oz.  As one of the featured speakers for Perform Better, she lectures nationally and internationally on topics such as strength training, fat loss, business in the fitness industry and nutrition specifically for women helping them to reach their potential in all aspects of their life. She is also the best-selling author of the book, Drop Two Sizes: A Proven Plan to Ditch the Scale, Get the Body You Want & Wear the Clothes You Love. Extremely goal oriented, Rachel is always looking for a new physical challenge and draws from experience making her a better coach. Rachel and her team at Results Fitness strive to be the best part of their members’ day every day, achieving results, changing lives, and having fun while doing it. They are on a mission to “Change The Way Fitness Is Done.” Listen To Episode 040 As Rachel Uncovers How Club operators can deal with overwhelm at the intersection of technology and fitness business operations As a club operator why if you're not delegating, you're being selfish Where to start if a club owner is feeling overwhelmed by depending on your core values  Understanding the new member orientation process and which category the client falls into:  Look better  Feel better  Perform better Understanding the personality types of the new client:  outgoing, introvert, ect Why at Results Fitness, Rachel and her staff send clients an email breakdown of their heart rate training zones after each session or class Why at Results Fitness, Rachel and her staff use handwritten cards and personally written emails for a higher level of service and client experience How beyond giving a phenomenal workout experience, why a personality matrix to understand the type of communication a new member wants and what type of personality they have will create a loyal fitness customer How Rachel uses Facebook to engage current members with "club bucks" and attract new members How to use Facebook to increase the digital literacy of members 50+ Why Rachel specializes in working with women and communication in the fitness industry  Why heading into IHRSA with a game plan will be yield more success when researching and discovering new technology platforms for clubs How Rachel transitioned from being a trainer to a business operator: what systems and change were involved Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Rachel reminds us that when it comes to fitness and technology, change is inevitable. It's part of growth and it's part of running a business. If you're not somebody who embraces change and who really wants to find a better way constantly then you're not going to be in business for too long.  The new member orientation process is pivotal in securing a long-term customer.  Rachel believes that using a combination of personality typing and personalized communication via heart rate monitors, intimate emails sent after workouts, as well as speaking to the new member in the language they most understand will create a loyal customer who becomes an advocate for your fitness facility. As successful club owners like Rachel take a deeper look into the technology solutions that are rapidly entering our space, it's not just about collecting data for data sake. What's most important is that we collect data with the primary intention of constantly improving and enriching the customer experience. Power Quotes From Rachel  "If you're not delegating responsibility to your staff and trying to run everything on your own, you're actually keeping your team from stepping into roles that they can accel at and bring even more value to your company. When you choose to not let go and have your staff take over the roles they deserve, you're essentially being selfish as an operator."  - Rachel Cosgrove on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Change is inevitable, it's part of growth and running a business. If you're not somebody who embraces change and who really wants to find a better way constantly, then you're not going to be in business for too long." - Rachel Cosgrove on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Members are craving personal connection now more than ever. If we ever start to get replaced by online trainers, artificial intelligence or an app, then the truth is we must elevate our game." - Rachel Cosgrove on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Rachel  Result Fitness on the web  Rachel Cosgrove on LinkedIn Rachel Cosgrove on Facebook Rachel Cosgrove on Twitter Rachel Cosgrove on the web Rachel on IDEA Fitness Rachel on LIVESTRONG Thomas Plummer - Fitness Industry Consultant Zappos Company Culture: Creating Core Values Jim Collins: Good To Great Delivering Happiness: Tony Shea, Zappos How Successful People Think: John Maxwell  Mind Body Software In-Body FitMetrics Skipio Texting Application Perform Better Series Fitness Business Summit IHRSA Bedros Keuilian: Fitness Business   The 2017 FIT-C Tech Trends Report Results Fitness University Bobby Cappuccio: Fitness + Technology Podcast Episode 027 Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.

Today we chat with the beautiful Rachel Jansen, ex-journalist, health coach and podcaster. We go real deep into social media, ESPECIALLY Instagram and how it's affecting teens and women... and how we're personally affected by it too.  Can't wait for you all to tune in! It's a topic we all need to be aware of so we can make sure we don't fall down that comparison trap (you know the one!).  Here's the stuff we talk about... Balancing motherhood and career. Psychological impacts of Instagram on teenagers. How Rachel is managing social media use for her kids. Why Rachel isn't allowing social media use (yet) and limits screen time for her kids. How social media can be carefully curated (so yeah... don't compare... ok?!).
