In the latest episode of the FemCity Podcast, FemCity COO, Lynn Pelzer, is joined by FemCity Founder's Member and CEO and Creative Leader of Aurora Design Inc . Melissa shares with us about empowering excellence: An Owners Guide to Building Team Culture. About Melissa Tossell // Even though her grandfather's family business was construction (they called it carpentry), it was her father's influence of fixing their own home (even re-roofing their house in the desert heat- ask her about it sometime!) up with minor repairs and her creativity, intelligence, and love of story-telling that led her to consider the career of architecture and design. Out of kismet came a college campus visit to find a career that united her two sides- practical and creative. She found a knack for guiding and helping clients through the entire renovation process- being able to balance pushing their boundaries into what they love with handling the nitty gritty details like permits, contractors, and detailed designs. Today she takes great joy in her work and passionately supports her community through volunteerism (a requirement for everyone at Sanura Design)- both every Monday at Furniture Bank and through her association ARIDO. She also mentors students and those starting their careers, and is an author and paid speaker educating the public on design and beyond. In her free time she's gaming (board, video, and D&D), crafting, hiking, or enjoying a movie (probably popcorn variety!). Spiritually speaking, she identifies as a deep Empath, and has other fun abilities, like the ability to channel (speak with those in the spirit world). If you ever want to know more, just ask her!.

About Elizabeth Sherman // Elizabeth helps women in midlife to prioritize their health so that their health doesn't get in the way of the things that they want to do. She is a holistic life and health coach, understanding that our physical health does not exist in a vacuum, and is greatly impacted by our emotional and mental health. Women in midlife have so many things that are changing in our lives: our hormones, our families (empty nest, parents that need more support, and for many that impacts our primary relationship), we want more from our friendships, and are starting to ask the big questions, like, "What IS my purpose here?" By focusing on our health, we can uncover so much self-empowerment.

In the latest episode of the FemCity Podcast, we explore the profound concepts of alignment and clarity with the remarkable Barbara Schumann Lamb. Join us as Barbara unpacks the intricate relationship between alignment, congruence with your values and goals, and clarity, defined by a well-crafted vision of who you truly are. About Barbara Schumann Lamb//As a survivor of childhood trauma and cancer, Barbara understands that a full and happy life is led by the heart. Barbara has focused most of her adult life on building a successful career and raising her three children. Always seeking the "reason," Barbara has traveled the world and dove deep into a career, family, and creating the quintessential perfect life. Still, at what she thought was the pinnacle of a successful life, everything crashed, and her "full and happy life" fell apart. Faced with a divorce after 18 years, a business that fell apart, three children to finish raising, and losing everything, Barbara had hit bottom. Life was redefined, and priorities were rearranged. After several false starts, Barbara realized that she needed to dig deeper, uproot deep-seated trauma, and rebuild her life from the ground up, and that is what she has done. Barbara currently lives in Miami and is ready to share her story and help others to see that they are not alone. It is never too late to heal and find happiness.

Hello listeners! I’m Caroline Schafer, the Podcast Producer for AMSE. We are about to begin our third month of 2021 - anyone else thinking it’s going fast? But March isn’t about just setting your clock an hour forward. It’s about taking advantage of the tools AMSE gives you to move your business forward as well. Now that you’re a couple of months into 2021, are you looking for a way to automate and organize your repetitive tasks? Then you want to mark your calendar for the Masterclass on March 2 at 1:30 pm EST. Cameron McBeth will teach you how Dubsado can be your go-to assistant. Basically, it can do everything except make your coffee. March 4 is like a double-layer cake - two great opportunities that day to sweeten your AMSE membership. At 12 pm EST, AMSE goes LIVE on Facebook with a special guest, Corey from Stars and Stripes. Grab your lunch (or whatever mealtime it is where you are) and join in!

Let's talk a little bit about FemCity. You founded this global women's networking organization, just tell us a little bit about that. I started femme city in 2009. I myself was looking for community in my life. And even after going out to many, many networking events here in Miami that are all spectacular and great. I always left feeling a little depleted and like I was missing some sort of connection to others. And after doing that for a couple years, I just decided to start something very small, but it would be just for 20 women here Miami and we would just gather once a month and help to support each other in business and personal development. And throughout the years, because of pictures on Facebook that we initially posted and launching other chapters, we started watching more and more. And now we are a members only organization. We help women in business personal development, and we create communities around the world. You've got a couple new chapters opening up in all different parts of the world. Would you like to share some of those places? We moved out, so we grow very organically. And you can see our growth patterns starting in Miami, and then we kind of grew up the east coast and then moved over to the west coast. And then we started growing in Canada, in Toronto. And so it's natural for us to start launching in other countries as well. So before all of this started happening, we had started kind of having the conversations of launching in Paris and Madrid and in Dubai and we're excited to continuously grow and create communities for women with personal development, online resources, literally anything that they need in order to design and create the life that they envision for themselves. So you're an international best-selling author. What inspired you to write a book while you've already got this global organization underneath your feet? So it's actually a really funny story. Many years ago, some of our members kept asking me for a book, oh, you should write a business book. I started to write it. I reviewed it. I'm like, gosh, this is horrible. This is like a horrible book. I can't do this. So I kind of put that on the back burner. And then I had a goal of writing it by a certain time. And I thought I just need to write it. Let me just write it the way I want to write it in the voice that I generally use when I'm speaking or lecturing. And so I wrote this book, it's 10 chapters, with life lessons that I grew from and how I actually transitioned and pivoted my life stories from going from welfare to wealth stories of being married to someone for 20 years divorcing and getting back together. And just even like the stories of growing up with a mother who was a drug addict and suffered from mental illness. So all these kinds of stories that people knew about, that I lectured. That's where that book was really birthed from. Can you share with our listeners one of your most successful or favorite networking experiences that you've had? So I believe you can network anywhere, right? I think my favorite networking story is I was asked to be a speaker on a panel many, many years ago for Gymboree, here in Miami, which is where I live and I went and we networked a little bit before the panel started and then we networked a little bit after and I got the opportunity to meet the founder of Gymboree, she was also on the panel, Joan Barnes, and we just connected. It was like we had known each other our whole entire lives. And she ended up we exchanged information like cell phone and emails. And the next day we chatted, and we couldn't stop chatting and we were like texting each other like all these ideas and she really became an iconic person in my journey through being an entrepreneur. And that all came from networking. How do you stay in front of or best nurture this network and this community that you've created? I feel that each member that we have is a friend and they feel like I'm really responsible for their success. And every day I wake up like thinking to myself, how can I help more in a bigger way? What can I do to help others to grow the business that they envision for themselves to design their life to live life in a balanced way. And when you come across, anytime you're networking, when you come across from the point of view of wanting to serve and help others, it always comes back to you. So what advice would you offer the professional who's looking to grow their network? The advice that I would give is to show up all the time anywhere ready to create connections. So whether you're walking your dog, or going to the farmers market or going to a networking event or whatever it is that you have, you have the power to meet people that can pivot your life in dramatic ways. And if you keep your energy open to receiving that, and then giving, being a person to give of yourself to fully offer advice to be kind to others, those people will remember you forever and ever. And that's really when you talk about business growth. It's always about the contacts and connections that you have, and that they like you because humans do business with humans they like and respect. Between digital networking or traditional networking which do you find more value in? I would say both of them, honestly. Sometimes I've met friends on social media. So I think if you come across from the same point of view of being of service, being an asset to that person, oh, I thought of you, I got this invitation for this networking event, I thought of you or I have this contact, I thought it would be a great introduction. So I think a lot of that can occur in the digital world. If you have the heart in it. I think they're both equally valuable. I mean, at the end of the day, humans like to see each other's eyes, like to see each other and you can exponentially grow that relationship when you're in that physical place. But you can still really create great relationships through digital. If you could go back to your 20-year-old self, what would you tell yourself to do more of, less of or differently with regards to your professional career? Believe in yourself, that would be one that's been huge for me. There's so many years that I wasted and so much money lost because I didn't believe in myself. I didn't think I could do things on my own. I felt like I needed a crutch, I felt like I couldn't do this because I didn't have that degree from Wharton Business School and all these just ridiculous stories I made up in my mind that held me back. So that would be the biggest thing right there. We've all heard of the six degrees of separation, who would be the one person that you would love to connect with? And do you think you could do it within the sixth degree? I'd love to connect with Oprah. So another mentor of mine, I met at a birthday party for our girls when my youngest was in kindergarten. We met and I was talking about Oprah. She must have just started her channel at the time. And I mentioned it and she said, oh, my gosh, I told Oprah that exact same thing the other day. I have a couple of those with Oprah like that one degree or two degrees. So I'm just hoping one day to get a chance to meet her. But it has not happened yet. Any final word or advice for listeners with regards to growing and supporting your network? Be of service, follow up with people, stay connected, and you're not going to be able to do it all on your own. You're going to need people around you to offer mentorship and advice and referrals and recommendations and connections. So it's all about people and getting out there and the more people that you know, the more opportunities come your way.

Influencer marketing isn’t new. Remember Joe Namath in pantyhose? (If you don’t Google it) But what is new is that anyone can harness the power of the internet and attract and monetize an audience. The value to our clients in that new twist is that there is an influencer for any subject, budget, or audience. This is an area where many agencies are crushing their financial goals. But if done wrong – you can lose your shirt. That’s why I knew we needed to talk to Shane Barker. Getting to the tactical heart of effective and profitable influencer marketing is what episode #199 is all about. My guest is Shane Barker, who has been doing influencer marketing since before the term was even coined. We talk about finding the right person, the proverbial needle in the influencer haystack, and how to determine the real reach of that individual who calls him/herself an influencer. Maybe you or your clients are still questioning the ROI of influencer marketing. Shane and I discuss how to do it right from start to finish, so you and your clients get the most bang for your influencer buck. From working with agencies and brands on influencer strategy and with celebrities on digital reputation management, to obtaining a #1 national ranking with PROskore as a social media consultant, Shane has built an impressive list of accomplishments. As a regular contributor to publications like Salesforce, Yahoo Small Business, Marketing Profs and others, he continues to grow and share his knowledge. What You Will Learn in this Episode: How to vet influencers so you and clients get what you pay for Why you should interview influencers to find the right fit beyond the metrics How to A/B test in influencer marketing What goes into developing a solid influencer marketing strategy How to be the best choice for the influencers you want to work with Developing Scope of Work terms with an influencer The best tools to use to start your influencer search How to fine-tune your influencer search with the “eyeball test” Ways to Contact Shane Barker: Website: https://shanebarker.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanebarker/
SEGMENT 1 – The face of retirement is changing. Growing numbers of experienced entrepreneurs and older workers are staying engaged in the economy long after the traditional retirement age, leading what's being called the “unretirement revolution”. Chris Farrell, a leading expert on the trend toward working longer in the second half of life, is here to share how people are spending their “retirement years” these days, and how there is meaning, money and happiness to be found.SEGMENT 2 – When it comes to retail, the elephant in the room is always the big guys like Amazon and Walmart. As a small business owner, how do you compete against these giants? The good news is that many entrepreneurs are being successful at it, and here to show us how is Dan Breedon, the head of content and communications for Yahoo Small Business.SEGMENT 3 – Content marketing is now king.

John speaks with Dan Breeden, a senior manager of strategic alliances at Yahoo Small Business, about what it takes for a small business to stand out online.
Peter Voogd started his first business when he was 15, and found himself broke, stressed and discouraged by the age of 22. By 23, he made his first 6 figure income, and 3 1/2 years later his earnings were over 1 million. He then took the same formula and applied it in another industry. Despite the challenge of lacking training or experience, he became the fastest manager to reach $1 million in annual sales in his company's 60 + year history, but left his 6 figure income because he felt his magnitude of mission growing. He's been labeled the worlds leading authority for millennials and entrepreneurs by entrepreneur.com, and many of international publications, stars in his own tv show called “The Entrepreneur Grind” on the Whatever it takes network, founder of The Game Changers Academy, which is the premier networking community for young entrepreneurs, Author of the 27-time international best selling author of the book “6 Months to 6 Figures,” and Creator of The Young Entrepreneur Lifestyle podcast which is one of iTunes top podcasts. Peter's strategies have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, Business Insider, time.com, Yahoo Small Business, Yahoo Finance, MSN, and many other international publications. He strongly believes the more people you help to succeed, the more successful you become.
