Because of the tragic events and violence unfolding in the Middle East, there has been a rise in corresponding rhetoric.  In this episode, Jennifer discusses her views about how propaganda and performative allyship are being used by opportunistic people and organizations to grow their platforms, brands, and businesses so that listeners can discern when the narrative is being used to manipulate and for self-serving reasons.

Episode 34 is all about the topic of opposition.  Specifically, it’s about dealing with OPPOSITION to you and your ideas.  How do you deal with it?  Do you enjoy it?  Or, is the thought of it so terrifying, that you avoid it?    For some of us, we don’t have a choice.  Opposition comes with the job.   Or, we didn’t intend to encounter it, but we must, because there it is whether we like it or not.   Maybe you've already found that the more successful, visible, confident, outspoken and articulate you are, the more opposition you face.  When you are a true power-player and a perceived as a leader, this comes with the job and you must be prepared to deal witih it.  The only way to do it is to increase your awareness, practice and train. This can be particularly challenging for women and minorities who deal with increased resistance and micro-aggression and who lack role models or mentors to show them how it's done. Listen in where we discuss all things opposition.... how to react with grace under pressure and ho

In one of my all-time favorite episodes, I speak with online business strategist Zach Spuckler.  It’s a juicy conversation with a Class-A internet marketer where we go way beyond the nuts and bold of “How To” and focus instead on topics that concern both seasoned and novice business owners looking to play a strong online marketing game.   Passionate about using the internet to get financial freedom, Zach made his first money online at age 13!  Since then, he’s done it “ALL”.... from affiliate marketing, website building, food blogging, consulting, etc., and today he runs Heart Soul Hustle where he teaches all the ways to sell services and courses online, consults with successful online entrepreneurs and runs an agency that runs Facebook ad campaigns. Here are some of the topics we discuss: -       Reframing everything you do in your business as a “big experiment” -       How to rationalize the expense of hiring a consultant or joining a mastermind  -       Being adaptive and open to embracing new technologies

“Finding peace in the imperfection. So many times when people are going through transition... [when] they are thinking about writing a book or making that career transition, they want to wait for the perfect moment. While you are waiting for that perfect moment, all of the imperfect moments are passing you by. You have to find the peace in the imperfection and stop waiting for the perfect moment.” ~Dr. Annise Mabry Doc Mabry.  She is truly inspiring.  Some of us get to take our time in going through transitions.  Others get a kick in the pants and are forced to swim or die. The transition is involuntary.   Doc Mabry falls in the latter category. She has gone through several hurricanes of change – not of her choice or making -  and always lands on her feet. She has faced down life threatening illnesses, and successfully transitioned from 17-year position as Dean of Graduate Studies at Devry University after her employment was suddenly terminated (without any cause or prior notice). She picked herself up and mo

I took a short hiatus from creating new episodes, because I have been extremely busy cooking up some new business plans and finishing up the course I have created that helps people grow their businesses through mindset, productivity and communication strategies.  I had this episode all ready to go, but I delayed, because I wanted to nail the introduction, and I suffered from hopelessly fractured focus. Today’s topic is all about cyber bullying, cyber shaming and digital resilience. I can report from the trenches on this critical issue.  As a lawyer, I have represented people who have been sued for defaming others on- line when they legitimately complained in a Rip-Off report.  I have also had clients who were victims of trolls and on-line haters. I have represented artists who were badgered by an angry digital mob into dismantling a political art exhibit.   The First Amendment did not win the day in that case. I also help people strategically communicate to minimize the effects of on-line harassment and bully

“It's a weird world today where if you really search for the truth, that’s the most contrarian thing you can possibly say.""~David Kadavy David Kadavy is a Top 20 Amazon Author, the voice behind the Love Your Work podcast,  a contributor to several of my favorite publications including HuffPo, McSweeny’s Upworthy, someone I follow passionately and always learn a tremendous amount from.  He writes about topics that interest me most – creativity, productivity, maintaining focus, and perfectionism. So it makes total sense that when I went to prepare his interview for broadcast here, I would suffer from a terrible bout of perfectionism paralysis myself, the net result of which is that it took me forever to finish this episode. What impresses me the most about David Kadavy is how transparent he is about his struggle to do his own creative work. In fact, this very struggle is grist for his artistic mill. David has a new book about to launch called The Heart to Start all about connecting with the art inside you.

Jennifer Gardner interviews street artist Megzany. http://roamhowl.com/018 "I would never tell anyone ‘oh, test the waters.' No, just go. Sure it’s freezing, it’s going to stifle you, you’re going to go through all these tribulations, but you have to do it.

Jennifer Gardner interviews musician, singer, songwriter, speaker, author, educator and host of the Bare Naked Bravery podcast,  Emily Ann Peterson. http://roamhowl.com/015 “I’ve realized that every piece of art that I put out there, every song, every album, every lyric — it has something to do with bravery."~Emily Ann Peterson Emily Ann Peterson spent 17 years with her cello. It was her second voice until she was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological hand tremor. It was then she knew she would need to be brave. Refusing to resign to fate and genetics, she expanded her skills to include songwriting. This act of neurological defiance broke through her creative glass ceiling and then swept her up in the expansive limits. Her podcast, Bare Naked Bravery, features conversations with everyday heros and creative entrepreneurs about the quiet successes and loud failures required to do the brave things for which we know and love them.
