And one of the lessons that I needed to learn was that I can not do it all. At this time I will be taking a break from the Late Starters Club podcast to give a deeper focus to other areas of my life and business. However, I really want this message to continue, so if you (or someone you know) might be interested in co-hosting the podcast so that we can continue to tell the most inspiring mid-life stories, please reach out to me.

I am so grateful to all of you who have been on this journey with me. I see your comments and emails that let me know how much you have been inspired by these stories as well and I am thankful for each and every one of them.

I wish you all the best of luck and remember…it’s never too late to follow your dreams.

[00:00] Welcome Jean Marie DiGiovanna !

[02:33] Jean Marie does not consider herself a digital nomad - then how does she define her lifestyle?

[06:05] Jean Marie talks about the transition from having a home to being home-free. The challenge was as much mindset shifts as it was downsizing her things.

[11:17] What has been Jean Marie's favorite locations to date?

[12:45] A mobile lifestyle takes some mind shifts (and its not for everyone) but finding your best way to work might be one of the best things you can do in this lifestyle. You also need to make sure your own perceptions aren't holding you back from being successful.

18:52] We talk about the practicalities of a mobile lifestyle: is it safe? how do you balance life so you don't always feel like you're on vacation? Is it super expensive to live this way? Travel tips?

[24:27] Jean Marie's Favorite Quote "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman"

[03:17] LESSON LEARNED: No one's road is easy. We have to find the thing that grounds us and keep at it when times get tough.

[04:35] INSPIRED BY: The fact that no one care what other people think of them anymore. We have moved past the stage of letting random strangers tell us what is good and bad about what we are doing!

[05:25] LESSON LEARNED: Each new challenge makes us feel more alive and makes life worth living!

[06:05] These are the lessons I've learned from podcasting for a year. Its not as easy to grow a show, but I have loved the conversations and just want to tell people's stories.

[10:15] MY GOAL is to reach more people and to change the way that people think about growing older.

In today's episode of Quick Fix Friday, I'll talk about three roadblocks that are keeping you from making big changes in your life.

  In episode 152, I talked to my friend, Jolene Park about how she stopped drinking in her forties for good. As I listened to her talk about how she was able to do this I realized that her approach could be used to overcome almost any kind of habit.

  In fact, it was a very anti-climatic story. She never hit rock bottom, became bankrupt or had a tragic accident that made her wake up and realize that she needed to stop drinking. But instead over time, she found that she had this pattern of behavior with alcohol that she didn't find beneficial in her life. So she decided that it was time to break the pattern and quit drinking completely.

  And that could have been the end of the story but after about a year she started to talk to people about what she did and why. She wanted to start helping more people who felt like she did, so she started to be interviewed on podcasts and even did a TedTalk and shifted her business to focus on how to help people who identified with this gray area drinking pattern. And her business has grown from there.

As a nutritionist and wellness advocate, she had previously facilitated wellness challenges where she temporarily stopped drinking. However, she often found herself going back to drinking, believing that she could be a social drinker and have a glass of wine with friends. This back-and-forth cycle continued for years, with Jolene frequently consuming entire bottles of wine alone and feeling terrible the next day.

   

  At the age of 43, she realized that she didn't want to continue this pattern and decided to quit drinking for good. Drawing on her knowledge of functional nutrition and wellness, Jolene focused on regulating her blood sugar and nervous system to support her decision. Around a year into her sobriety, she began speaking about her experience on podcasts and even landed a TedTalk, emphasizing the physiological aspects of alcohol addiction that are often overlooked. This led to a focus within her own business focusing on gray area drinking.

   

  In this episode, we will dive deeper into what gray area drinking is and why Jolene has made it her mission to educate healthcare practitioners on the nuances of this diagnosis.

   

  Join me as we talk about:

   

  [00:00] Introductions

  [03:01] What prompted Jolene to shift her business to focus on gray area drinking?

  [08:13] What is gray area drinking? How do you know if you fall into this category of drinkers?

  [09:46] Is there actually a number of alcoholic drinks that is considered "safe"?

  [13:56] What impact did having a TedTalk have on Joelen's business and her mission to spread the word about gray area drinking?

  [18:05] This is why Jolene is focused on educating health practitioners on the importance of not ignoring conversations patients want to have about their drinking habits.

We dove deep into his journey as an entrepreneur and discussed three key pillars that helped him navigate through tough times in his business.

  Takeaway 1: Embrace a Spiritual Practice. Find solace in a spiritual practice that resonates with you. Whether it's through a religious affiliation, meditation, or communing with nature, having a foundation to quiet your mind and release burdens can be immensely powerful.

  Takeaway 2: Seek Guidance from a Coach or Mentor. Entrepreneurship can often feel like a lonely road. Connecting with a coach or mentor, like Kwadwo did with Rick Mulready, can make all the difference. They can serve as a sounding board, provide guidance, and steer you in the right direction when you're unsure which path to take.

  Takeaway 3: Ensure Financial StabilityWhen embarking on your entrepreneurial journey, having a financial cushion is crucial. Build up savings to fall back on during challenging times or unexpected market shifts. Cashflow problems are a leading cause of business failure, so make sure you have the necessary resources to weather any storms.

We delve into the dramatic shift caused by the pandemic, which led to the closure of his thriving Chinese business and a period of reinvention. Kwadwo candidly discusses the pressures of family expectations and the importance of financial stability in entrepreneurial life. Kwadwo shares his journey of faith, seeking guidance through prayer and meditation, and finding support from loved ones and mentors like Rick Mulready. Get ready to be inspired by Kwadwo's resilience and unwavering determination on their late-start entrepreneurship journey.

   

  Kwadwo – sounds like [QUĀY.jo] – is a Facebook ads strategist for established online course creators and coaches. But unlike most ad managers, in addition to bringing in quality leads, he specializes in fixing funnels and giving business strategy so his clients can work less, make more, and enjoy the life they were meant to live.

   

  Join me as we talk about:

   

  [00:00] Introductions

  [02:35] Kwadwo tells us about teaching English in China before he was inspired to start his first online business teaching Chinese. Then a family vacation to Mexico right before the pandemic started a series of events that ultimately led to Kwadwo shutting down his business and having to start all over again. 

  [08:31] Kwadwo tells us what it was like to have to start all over again after shuttering his business - how applying for a job wasn't getting anywhere until he applied to be a coach for Rich Mulready. 

  [12:25] Andrea and Kwadwo discuss the financial pressure, challenges, and risks that come with being an entrepreneur. Especially when it you believe you are at a point where you can bring on staff only to hit a dip in sales.

  [16:58] One of the things that helped Kwadwo get through all of these changes was because of the support of his in-laws and his wife, but especially from his business mentor Rick Mulready. He shares with us how powerful receiving that kind of support can be and how its the inspiration behind the episodes on his podcast.

  [21:13] Kwadwo shares how his faith was one of the key pieces that helped him move forward to find the success and opportunities that he's seeing today (not that it was easy to hand over that amount of faith when times were tough). 

  [26:57] Andrea and Kwadwo share stories about how they got into marketing (and its not getting a degree)

  [29:44] We swap out some book recommendations and Kwadwo shares his most inspiring quote

Sarah did launch a new brand and website as part of this change but is that kind of effort always necessary when pivoting your business? In this episode of Quick Fix Friday we are going to talk about the things to consider before rebranding your business.
  1. How large of a change is this for your business? Is it all new services/products? A new audience? Or are you fine-tuning your offerings?
  2. Is this an all-new adventure that you are going all in on? Will you be starting something new alongside your current activities?
  3. How should the previous assets of your business be handled (for example an email list)?

That's the top takeaway I got from Sarah Scott in episode 146. Sarah took her struggling marketing business and decided to only serve people who had podcasts by assisting with podcast editing and show notes and all of that but she also takes it a step further by using their episodes to help them develop their social media presence and their content. And by doing that, she was able to find more success because she's now able to target her market really well. And able to explain what she does and sell her services with a different enthusiasm than she had before.

  Another thing that Sarah brought up that we have seen time and time again on this podcast is to not be afraid to dive in and learn something new. When we started working together Sarah was my marketing assistant and neither of us had done podcasting before, but she dove in and figured it out and now is bringing the best practices to me.

There are three key elements that I think make a mastermind group great. There are lots of things that can go into masterminds, but these are the essential elements that I've boiled it down to.
  1. Structure - With a strong structure in place everyone knows how the meetings are going to work and how you're communicating in between meetings. It creates a bond between its members which creates trust in your mastermind group.
  2. Purpose - Masterminds are really good when you've got a common purpose which leads to common goals that you are working towards.
  3. Accountability - This means showing up to meetings and getting your stuff done that you've been assigned to get done. I have found that when I made the most progress is when I received a lot of accountability to show up, to be an active participant, and to really hold space for the other people in the mastermind group.

  She loves to learn. She is so good at researching, learning, and distilling ideas into some of the best strategies and tools to promote and market a business online. The fact that she has written two Dummies books is proof that she loves to do research. She's really good at writing and distilling down these strategies into a step-by-step format and so that is the big takeaway for me is just really be curious, do your research and learn because like Phyllis,

  I think that being curious and making that commitment to learning is really what it takes to start something new and build a business and have that confidence in the business that you are building because you have looked at the different strategies and the different options out there.

That's my number one takeaway from my interview with David Otey, who went from engineer to master storyteller, speaker, and author.

  We are hardwired to remember stories better. And I think that is the message that I need to learn over and over. Try and wrap your messages into a story. See how you can illustrate your point with a story, whether it's in your sales messages or in your training. 

  And the other thing I loved about David's episode was the way he went from one career to a different career. And I think he really described how it wasn't quite perfect. Obviously, I think none of it is, but there's always a messy middle time where maybe you aren't getting it quite exactly right. Maybe you're trying something new and it isn't landing. If we are trying some new things and it seems to be like we're swimming upstream or not getting where we need to go. It's possibly just needing a little bit of tweaking.

Then think about how you can serve your own niche. That's what Mira Canion did when she discovered that she wanted a different kind of Spanish reader for her students.

  You can find a great business opportunity if you can identify a hole in the niche that you are currently working in or you see that that niche is underserved in a certain way. The benefits to building a business in a niche you are already working in is that you have a calling to work there and the experience to know how to navigate it.  You also have credibility because people really trust you because you know that market, you know what they need, what the kind of support they need in that service or in that product that you're providing and you can really serve that market well.

  So if you really want to start your own business, I would suggest taking a look at your own niche, seeing where the holes are, seeing where your unique gifts are and seeing where the curiosity really pulls you. And can you create that on the side while you have the security of that full-time income to support you until you are ready to go full-time in your business.

This Quick Fix Friday is all about ways to spot dyslexia. And this might be as a late starter, or for someone in your life that you might know. Steve has a special interest in helping people learn about their dyslexia earlier when they're children so that they can have more success later in life.

  If you or someone you knows believes that they have dyslexia, get some assistance, dive into some of the resources that Steve has provided, and see if it might be something you should take further action on. Because the more we know about the conditions we have or things that are affecting us, even later in life, means that we can continue to be successful in a bigger way and maybe just learn a little bit more about how we operate.

  ]]>In episode 128, I talked to Steve Weaver, who found out later in life that he had dyslexia. This Quick Fix Friday is all about ways to spot dyslexia. And this might be as a late starter, or for someone in your life that you might know. Steve has a special interest in helping people learn about their dyslexia earlier when they're children so that they can have more success later in life.

  If you or someone you knows believes that they have dyslexia, get some assistance, dive into some of the resources that Steve has provided, and see if it might be something you should take further action on. Because the more we know about the conditions we have or things that are affecting us, even later in life, means that we can continue to be successful in a bigger way and maybe just learn a little bit more about how we operate.

How does he do it? He leans into research and works hard. I thought it was amazing that he really just leaned into that research and discovered the problem mostly on his own. And when the problem came to light, then he was really able to say, aha, that is something I have and everything fell into place. From there he was able to move forward and create success!

  Starting a coaching business is a great low-cost way to start a business. You may have some experience that you want to leverage to help others. Or you may just decide that you really like coaching and want to get deeper into it.

  In episode 125, I talked to Bernadette McClelland, who went from bankruptcy to becoming a superstar coach for Tony Robbins. In this episode of quick fix Friday, I want to give you a couple of things to think about as you consider starting your coaching business.

  1. Do you want to be a business owner or do you want to become a coach for someone else's program?
  2. Do you have the expertise that you need to get started? Or do you need to learn or develop a framework for your program?
  3. How quickly do you want to ramp up your coaching business?
  4. (Bonus Tip) You don't have to invest a lot of money to start a coaching business, start small and profitable and grow from there.
  
  

  In this episode, I share my thoughts on each of these as well as some pros and cons. Listen in to learn more.

The answer to that question is one of my top takeaways from my interview with the ever-positive Bernadette McClelland.

  I think a lot of times we don't think about investing in ourselves. We look at a dollar amount on a program and we think that's too expensive, but we aren't doing the math in terms of what that program could do for us. And listening to the courage that Bernadette had, using the money under her mattress to invest in developing herself as a coach, opened my eyes to how I look at investing in myself.

  Listen in to today's episode as I interview the inspiring Bernadette McClelland.

  Bernadette is a speaker on sales leadership and storytelling. She is from Australia originally but now lives in the United States. She is a natural storyteller, and inspirational speaker. She's been a high-performance coach for Tony Robbins. She has been a sales mentor for Harvard MBA students, and she's an award-winning author, top 50 sales speakers, and she has a new book out called Shift and Disrupt.

  Join me as we talk about:

  [00:00] Introductions

  [02:24] Bernadette talks about why they decided to move to the US and what it took to get there.

  [10:43] How did Bernadette become bankrupt and how did she come back from that?

  [16:28] Between the physical recovery and bankruptcy there were dark times that they needed to navigate. How did she get through it?

  [21:04] How did she become involved in coaching with Tony Robbins (and her unbelievable manifestation story)?

  [27:19] What saying did Bernadette's son give her that she keeps close?

In episode 122, I talked to Lori Bush who took Rodan and Fields to a billion-dollar company as the CEO, and one thing that struck me was how much she loved learning.

  And while I find it really hard to pick leadership books because I think that leaders have to develop themselves in so many different ways and learn so many different things that it's hard to say what's a leadership book and what is a self-development book. But in this episode of Quick Fix Friday, I'm going to dive into eight leadership books that I love.

  In episode 119, we interviewed Dr. Mary Barbera, she fell into the world of autism when her oldest son was diagnosed with autism at a young age. She had been a nurse and hadn't thought to become an autism expert. But her passion and her guiding light for turning autism around has changed the way she has evolved her career and she has become an advocate for children around the world, and that is what drives her. She is so focused on getting this message out that nothing will stop her. She is constantly thinking of new ideas, thinking of new ways to reach people and get her message across. She has got a powerful, strong mission, and I love it.

You've got a wife and kid at home, and you're in a new city. Does the thought occur to you to start a brand new business with your spouse? Maybe not, but it's just the risk that Ethan and Stephanie Bull took in starting their pro-assisting remote assistance business. Listen to today's interview and learn about what it took to get them started and what it's like to work together as a married couple.

  Stephanie Bull is ProAssisting’s co-founder and the former EA for J. Crew’s CEO and the CEOs of two multi-billion-dollar hedge funds. Before developing ProAssisting, Stephanie proved herself an expert in the field and a vital addition to the C-suite by fulfilling a variety of roles, including chief of staff, estate manager, and investment liaison.

  Ethan Bull is a co-founder of ProAssisting, a next-generation remote, fractional executive assistance firm for business owners and C-suite executives. With a background in hospitality and an expert in the EA space, Ethan has held a variety of senior positions, including Director of Administrative Services and senior EA to the president and CEO at Rochester Regional Health.

  [10:26] How has being older helped with their startup?

  [12:04] Was there ever a feeling of total overwhelm, like this isn't working, or this isn't happening the way we thought? What have they done to get through some of that really big overwhelming challenges and times?

  [15:51] How did they manage the start-up funds for their business?

  [20:39] How does Pro-Assist help their clients?

  [23:21] What was it like to write a book together?

She didn't need a fancy degree or anything like that. She just learned and knew what she needed to do and leaned into it.

She got a second chance at life the few rarely get to have. And I couldn't help but think how amazing it was to come back from that kind of injury and recreate your life once you realize what you want to do differently.

It's not. You have plenty of time and plenty of time to grow your standup comedy career, even if you're 50.

  Today I interviewed Jay Donaldson who performed his first open mic just as the pandemic hit. But the bug to perform bit and he used the lockdown to his advantage. Now he is out and performing all over town.

  Jay Donaldson is a comedian that brings his personality to the stage in a way that connects with people of all ages, backgrounds, and criminal history. Jay is equally at home doing open mics at lesbian bars as he is doing paid gigs "that need to be 'ultra-clean'" at conservative retirement communities. Jay has been fortunate to get regularly booked for many things including shows, roast battles, hosting gigs, etc.

  Join me as we talk about:

  [00:00] Introductions

  [02:07] How did Jay get involved in comedy? (and how bad was it doing online comedy during the pandemic)

  [04:30] What was the prompt to get into comedy?

  [06:07] What are the advantages to taking classes (even in an area that feels driven by talent)?

  [9:42] How has Jay been getting booked into so many shows? And what advice does he give to comedians looking to book more gigs?

  [13:51] How does Jay bounce back after bombing a gig?

   [24:38] Does Jay regret not getting into comedy earlier? [

In today's episode of Top Takeaways, I'm going to dive into promoting your event based on the interview I had with Jessica Kupferman.

  Events take a lot of promotion, even more than you would think. You probably don't even realize how much you have to promote to get through all the noise and sell those tickets. The best way to approach promotion is with the mindset that you will need to over-promote.

   With that in mind, I'm sharing the different ways that I promote my events.

We're scared that we might lose business, that we might lose friendships, or we might offend someone in some way.

  During my interview with Heather Lutze, it struck me that she was extremely brave in revealing her diagnosis of bipolar disease. And not only does she share that she was diagnosed but she really leaned into it with her side project creating the Crazy Good Life Project. And I think it was just incredibly, incredibly brave of her to be able to get up and give a TEDx talk about her mental health, talk about it in a bigger, more public way.

  That happened with my guest today, Heather Lutze, a highly successful and driven entrepreneur who had to face her bipolar diagnosis and make some adjustments in her life. She is on a mission to change the conversation about mental health and be an example of what thriving with bipolar disease can look like. 

  Heather Lutze has faced bipolar disease all of her life. Her career and family suffered until she accepted her diagnosis and medications. She is simply an entrepreneur with years of experience building a path through a very dark forest. She has a story to tell—one that may help you or others.

  Join me as we talk about:

  [00:00] Introductions

  [02:02] Heather shares with us her story about how she was diagnosed with bipolar disease. 

  [05:52] What motivated Heather to start Crazy Good Life and drove her to want to serve others in a new way?

  [10:39] In what surprising, and unexpected ways, has Crazy Good Life impacted Heather?

  [21:38] We talk about ESA (emotional service animals) and all the ways they can help. (And we get to meet Gracie!)

  [28:29] What has made launching Crazy Good Life successful? (and what business idea was first before it was tossed due to the early morning hours!?)

In episode 89, I interviewed Kathleen Adams, who started her new business in her fifties and she discovered that the platform she chose to run her business on was a mistake. We dove into how to deal with moving through that mistake. What it means to push through and choose something different. But I think that there is a lesson here for all of us about what it means to let go of a commitment and move on to something else.

  When you make a commitment to something (a job, a marriage, a business venture, a partnership) it feels easier to stay inside that commitment rather than go through all the pain and heartache of moving into something new. It feels risky to move into something else. There's inertia. There are all the things that we've done to get settled in that decision. And there are all these unknowns on the other side of it. Will it actually be better? And how do I really know that it's going to be an improvement? But at the same time, you can't sit and stay in that mistake. Change is painful. It's not easy, but it's worth it.Consider what is the risk of not making that change or staying in that mistake. It's regret. Regret is the biggest risk. 

  So if you realize that something in your life is a mistake. Then it might be time to start making changes and understand that there is going to be pain with it, but you're going to be able to push through. And there will be something new on the other side.

  Resistance is just a way of protecting us against disappointment.

  Resistance is cunning. Resistance is an opportunist that will recognize that you are feeling a little bit of disappointment and will prey on that feeling.

  Starting something new is hard work. It's scary sometimes. But it's worth it.

  Let me know how you work with your resistance.

  In episode 86, I talked to Dr. Fleet Maull who went from prison to a world-renowned expert in the field of mindfulness. He has had plenty of adversity in his life, and one of the themes that ran through this episode was the way that he did not let his adversity stop him.

  One of my questions was, how did he keep going? I think a lot of it was due to his practice of meditation and mindfulness that helped him have a baseline and a way that he could cope with all of his trials.

  We also talked about how you can overestimate what you can get done in a week, but underestimate what you can do in a year. And I think that's so important as you are moving forward especially if you feel as though you're not making progress, to be able to just keep pushing through, putting one step in front of the other and before it, you know it, you may have made big changes.

  Maybe you have this open loop or maybe you have this thing that you've always wanted to do. Maybe it's always been something that's been on your vision board or maybe it's been on the periphery, but I think at this point in our lives, at our midlife, we can see that we have limited time left and that pushes us to finish the things that we've always wanted to do.

  If you need proof that it's possible listen to my interview with Saundra Boyd. She had always wanted to go back to school to complete her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. And at the age of 57 finished what she started (after being a registered nurse for 42 years). Then she started her business at age 59.  

  While the business wasn't a plan (or a dream) it came about because Saundra was willing to say yes and understood that at this point in our lives, we have faced enough challenges to know that if we can just keep pushing through that good things are on the other side.

In this episode of Quick Fix Friday, I'm going to dive into which features to consider when choosing a webinar platform and recommend some of my favorite webinar platforms.

   

  Features I review when choosing a webinar platform: 

  ✔️Price - you want to balance the price with the features of the platforms

  ✔️Registration Page - Can it be customized to showcase you and your brand

  ✔️Attendees / Panelists - Know how many you want and expect as pricing might be affected by the response. Also, there may be other limitations in these features you need to consider.

  ✔️Live / On-demand webinars - Which are you looking to host? Is it available on the platform?

  ✔️Accommodate the Facebook Pixel - Do you plan to run ads for your webinar? If so you will need to be able to add your pixel to the registration and thank you pages.

   

  4 Webinar Platforms Suggestions: 

  ✨ Zoom - https://explore.zoom.us/en/products/webinars/

  ✨ ClickMeeting - https://clickmeeting.com/

During my interview with Dr. Edward, the Healing Vet we discussed how he grew his digital business using webinars and there were a few things that he did that stood out to me that I wanted to share:

  ✔️ Instead of changing webinars, Dr. Edward produces the same webinar each time. If it reaches your audience repeatedly, there is no need to complicate it. 

  ✔️ Because he used the same webinar each time, it is easier to test, tweak, and diagnose any problems that arise. 

  ✔️ He is committed to continuous learning and implementation. He tries different strategies and invests strategically in his growth. 

  Since I have had the pleasure of helping him as he's grown I've had other takeaways so tune in to learn more.

  ✔️ Because he used the same webinar each time, it is easier to test, tweak, and diagnose any problems that arise. 

  ✔️ He is committed to continuous learning and implementation. He tries different strategies and invests strategically in his growth. 

  Since I have had the pleasure of helping him as he's grown I've had other takeaways so tune in to learn more.

That is my top takeaway from my interview with Tanya Smith. And I'd never really thought of it that way. I kind of always looked at systems a little bit like the enemy. As I've launched this podcast, I have seen what a gift systems are. Once they are established there's no thought we have to put into it, there's no decisions we have to make, we know how it gets done and when it has to get done by. And we are able to automate more and more as we are discovering new tools that allow us to get it done even quicker. One of the benefits that Tanya gets by having systems in place is that she gets to make one of three choices with something as it comes in. She can either take action, automate the task or delegate it. 

  I had other takeaways from this incredible episode so tune in to learn more.

  Well, then you need to tune in to today's episode as I interview Tanya Smith, all about how she uses systems to create a successful side hustle while still maintaining her full-time job and spending time with her family. 

  Video Strategist & Business Coach Tanya Smith works with coaches to ‘embrace their face’ on video so they can stand out online, serve more people, and sell more of their services.

  Here is a glimpse into the episode:

  [1:59] What is the story behind Tanya starting a journey in live streaming?

  [4:57] How does Tanya get over her introverted tendency to lean into video content?

  [7:49] How systems allow Tayna to have a full-time career, a side hustle, and time for her family.

  [15:41] With such a full plate already (full-time career, new mom, and husband living in another state) what made her decide to add more?

  [20:54] How has being older contributed to her success? 

  [26:00] What does Tayna tell herself whenever anything tries to prevent her from doing what it is she's supposed to do?

In episode 68, I talked to Dierdre Wolownick who is passionate about telling people to get off their screens and get outside and enjoy their lives, and I think that is great advice, but it can be challenging.

In this episode, I will give you some tips to help you limit the amount of time you spend on your screen.

It's no surprise that that is my top takeaway from my interview with Deirdre Wolownick, the oldest woman to have climbed El Capitan at age 70. It is no surprise that she is just passionate about having people get outside and really understand what they are capable of. She doesn't want people just sitting at home watching screens, and I agree completely.

  Some reasons we should look to get outside more:

  ☀️While we are watching our screens we are consuming messages that are not always good for us. When we get outside we are creating and living.

  ☀️Outside we have the opportunity to find out what we are truly capable of and that can give us so much empowerment.

  ☀️When we get outside we get the idea to try new things.

Deirdre Wolownick is that type of person. At age 70, she became the oldest woman to climb El Capitan for the second time. She broke her own record from when she climbed it previously. She speaks over seven languages and is a prolific author, teacher, runner, artist, and musician. She is truly amazing and I am honored to have interviewed her. Listen in as she shares her views on living a full life.

  Dierdre has taught five foreign languages on three continents for 44 years. Her writing has won awards; her independent publishing company produced award-winners and international sellers. In 1990, she founded and conducted the West Sacramento Community Orchestra, and plays in community orchestras and smaller ensembles (flute, piano/keyboard). At 55, she began running marathons and other races. At 59, she started rock climbing; at 66, she became the oldest woman to climb Yosemite’s El Capitan (with her son, Alex Honnold, of “Free Solo” fame). She celebrated her 70th birthday by going up El Cap again, and recently returned from a 3-country European speaking tour. In 2023, the documentary about her life, “Climbing Into Life,” will premiere at film festivals across the country.

  Here is a glimpse into the episode:

  [2:04] How did Dierdre move from being told "You can't do that!" to accomplishing everything she sets her mind to?

  [8:51] What was it like for Dierdre to become a beginner again?

  [11:20]  Does Dierdre come up against obstacles or is it just something new she needs to learn?

  [12:40] If there is an obstacle, what does Dierdre say it is?

  [14:23] If we are to overcome that obstacle and live a full life, what do we need to do?

  [15:58] Has Dierdre ever felt overwhelmed (if you listen to the episode your answer would have to be no!)

   [21:52] What are Dierdre's plans moving forward?

  [25:54] What quote(s) inspires Dierdre?

In episode 64, I talked to my friend Susan Frew, who was a million dollars in debt in her heating and plumbing business. Hopefully, your cash flow crunch isn't quite as bad as that. But in today's Quick Fix Friday, I'm going to give you some tips on how to deal with a cash flow crunch.

  4 Tips for Surviving a Cash Flow Crunch

  ✔️ What's the "fastest path to cash"? Is there something you can launch or promote quickly that will help get you cash now?

  ✔️Offer a discount for paying up front.  Both for a new offering and for current clients.

  ✔️Put off payments on things that are non-essential

  ✔️Tap into a line of credit or change the way you pay your credit cards.  Only use this for temporary cash flow crunches. So let's dive in a little deeper.

Hopefully, your cash flow crunch isn't quite as bad as that. But in today's Quick Fix Friday, I'm going to give you some tips on how to deal with a cash flow crunch.

  4 Tips for Surviving a Cash Flow Crunch

  ✔️ What's the "fastest path to cash"? Is there something you can launch or promote quickly that will help get you cash now?

  ✔️Offer a discount for paying up front.  Both for a new offering and for current clients.

  ✔️Put off payments on things that are non-essential

  ✔️Tap into a line of credit or change the way you pay your credit cards.  Only use this for temporary cash flow crunches. So let's dive in a little deeper.

It's even more critical when you are a million dollars in debt. In episode 64, Susan Frew shared with us the steps she took to maintain her mental health during one of the most trying times in her life. In today's top takeaways as I dive a little bit deeper into preserving your mental health.

  Some ways to preserve your mental health might be:

  ✨ Exercise - if not burning it off in a gym finding a way to get outside and work off the energy in some way is incredibly helpful.

  ✨ Eating right - stress can take so much out of you and you need to have enough energy to pull you through those tough days.

   ✨ Surround yourself with the right people (avoid the energy vampires).

  ✨ Put in place systems to help you watch after your business or work.

  I will provide a little more insight into each of these in this episode, so let's get started!

  Today I am going to share with you the three things you need to consider when creating a membership.

  In episode 61, I talked to my friend Anne LaFollette, and she has a thriving membership for her pattern surface design business. And one of the things that she did really well is to learn from other people how to create this business when she didn't know what to do after her 30-year corporate career.

  If you think that creating content is the only thing you need to consider, think again. You will also need to consider how it's going to be hosted, how you're going to launch it, and how you're going to sell it. It sounds simple, right? But there are a lot of moving parts to all three of these pieces. So let's dive in a little deeper.

  After Anne was let go from her corporate job she had no idea what she was going to do until she was encouraged to take an art course and she learned how to create pattern surface design that opened the door to starting a whole business that she had no experience with.  So how did she do it?

  She took courses, but one of the things that she really talked about was how to find those courses and then how to actually implement the things she learned. 

  Today I want to share those lessons with you.

  How to find the right course:

  1. Find the people who know what you want to know and learn from them.
  2. Look at student reviews, have their students been successful when they apply their learnings? 
  3. Find a course that matches your learning style - you might really love the expert but if their teaching style doesn't blend with your learning style you might not implement what you learn (if you learn anything at all)
  4. Can you follow up with the course creator or other students by asking questions along the way? Above all remember that learning is a journey and you should not beat yourself up over the process.
  
  

  I will provide a little more insight into each of these in this episode, so let's get started!

In this episode of top takeaways, I'm going to dive a little bit more into what it takes to stop procrastinating and launch that new thing.

  In episode 58, I talked to my friend Lou Borton about the launch of his brand new podcast, new offering, and new keynote focused on Leadership Secrets from Godfather about how brand loyalty is the new currency. And what I love is that Lou was talking about how he had this idea for many, many years and didn't do it.

  Here are some of my insights from my interview and my experience with launching a new brand alongside my current brand:

  ✨When you launch something new it might take a little more time than planned to take off

  ✨Your experience might provide you with insights into your strengths and weaknesses (like a habit of perfectionism or being more efficient with your time) 

  ✨Launching alongside a current business means you have an opportunity to invest without worrying about funding 

   ✨Finding similarities in your audiences will help you grow your new project

  I will provide a little more insight into each of these in this episode, so let's get started!

  In episode 58, I talked to my friend Lou Borton about the launch of his brand new podcast, new offering, and new keynote focused on Leadership Secrets from Godfather about how brand loyalty is the new currency. And what I love is that Lou was talking about how he had this idea for many, many years and didn't do it.

  In episode 52, we talked to Kimberley Pember, whose recent credits included Detective Knight with Bruce Willis, she gave us a couple of resources like Backstage, Actors Access, and Casting Networks where you can find a list of potential projects and things in your area or nationally that you can apply for. But a lot of those potential roles do need at least these three things.

  1. A professional-looking headshot - get a couple of different looks that can vary based on the types of roles you want to apply to.
  2. An actor's resume - this should include TV, Film, and Theater performances as well as training and special skills. 
  3. An acting reel - You might be wondering how to do this without any experience, its actually surprisingly easy.
  
  

  BONUS TIP - Do you need t have lots of experience before finding an agent? Turns out the answer is no. Listen in as I give you some in-depth advice on each of these areas to get you started in acting quickly!

  Then find a great group to train with.

  In today's top takeaways episode, I'm going to dive a little bit deeper into my conversation with my friend Jenny Neale about the surprising benefits of training with a group.

  Jenny and I both found a great group of people to train with through Camp Gladiator and that connection has led to some amazing outcomes!

  • The right group of people can inspire you and motivate you to train better and get faster results than you might on your own.
  • They also will provide a bit of the necessary peer pressure that will help push you out of your comfort zone.
  • The right group will also hold you accountable to your training goals (even if that means getting up at 5:15 in the MORNING!).
  • The right group will also help get you access to the proper training for the types of competitions you want to participate in (equipment and setups that are not available at all gyms!).
  • This type of training will bring new-found confidence to the course you want to compete in.

In episode 46, my friend Mark Schaefer talked about how creating consistent content helped him publish 10 books, an award-winning marketing blog, and a podcast. In this episode, I am going to dive into 5 tips that I have to create consistent content.

  Here are my 5 tips for creating consistent content:

  1. Don't make writing a decision, it simply is an activity that you will complete.
  2. Work in advance. Don't try to sit down and write on the day you want to publish.
  3. Defend your time. Once you have set aside time to create content don't let anything get in the way of that time. Creating content is just as important as any other aspect of your marketing.
  4. Keep a running list of ideas so you can pick and choose the ones that are speaking to you when you are ready to create.
  5. Find ways to make content creation faster and easier for you.

Or are you thinking about starting a blog, a podcast, or a YouTube channel, and aren't sure how to actually monetize that? Then listen in to today's Quick Fix Friday, where I talk about three ways to monetize your content.

  There are basically three main types of monetization strategies.

  • One is to create your own product or service and use the content as the draw to let people know about that product or service.
  • Two is to use affiliate programs to advertise or showcase someone else's product or service, and you get paid a commission if someone were to buy that product or service with your special link.
  • Three is sponsored content. This is either ad placement that is within your blog, your podcast, or your videos. And that's basically a payment you get based on views or the number of listeners. Payment doesn't depend on someone actually buying that product.
  
  

  Listen in as I dive a little bit deeper into all three of these strategies, and I'll give you some examples.

I definitely recommend the Strava app.

  The Strava App makes your running habit more social and provides some additional accountability. Some of the best features are:

  • Search for routes near you
  • Find groups and communities
  • Set goals
  • Join challenges
  • Follow and connect with people
  • Log your runs with details like mileage, elevation gain, pace and splits (everything you would expect in a running app)
  
  

   

  But what really makes this app unique is the ability for friends and followers to see your activities and cheer you on as you make progress towards your goal. While the Strava App has a free option, the premium features are worth the cost. There is a 30-day trial so you can try it out for free then after its only $6.67/mo.

  Let's dive in!

But you think "I'm too slow", "I'm too old", "It's too late", or "I'm gonna get injured". Well, maybe it's time to change your mindset about running. In episode 40, I talked to my friend Jeff Korhan, who in his mid-sixties ran three marathons in 2022 and has qualified for the 2024 Boston Marathon. And when I was talking to him, I was really inspired because while I consider myself a runner, I also think, well, I'm slowing down, I'm getting slower, maybe it's time to not do half marathons anymore. But Jeff really inspired me to change my mindset and I think he can do the same for you!

  ]]>What could you accomplish if you knew that age doesn't matter? When you listen to my latest interview with six-time Olympian, Mary Hanna you will learn that in equestrian sports, everyone can ride, no matter their age.

In episode 28, Tom Petty and his wife turned their health around and stopped the progression of their diseases by making some major changes in their diet and nutrition. One of the things that Tom highlighted is that the way they accomplished that was through developing a system that made they successful.

  Some of my advice for creating your own system:

  • Your first step is to just pick a system that you think will work for you based on the way you are wired and how it's worked for others. You can get a coach, read a book, find a program to follow and test whether that system's going to work for you.

  • Once you find a system, track your progress toward that goal.

  • If you are someone who needs more accountability, find a coach.

  Tip #1: Just get started. What are you waiting for? Just try it. It's okay to try as Stephanie said. Take a class, even one that is online, that'll help you craft your jokes, get you familiar with what standup comedy is all about, and make sure that you're writing a good set to get started. The advantage of a class is that it kind of then forces you to have a performance, which is really fun.

  Tip #2: Take baby steps. Comedy can feel overwhelming when you don't know where to start. Maybe step one is finding an open mic night or even going to the open mic night. Find a friend to go with, see what other comedians are doing, and write down some ideas about what they've done that worked and didn't work for you. Just meet some of the people, and I think that will help you get your confidence up to do it live.

  Tip #3: Don't worry about what other people think. Comedy can be really hard. It's hard when jokes fall flat that you think are really funny. That's going to happen, and like Stephanie said, it is going to hurt sometimes, but if you have a short memory, and just keep going, you're going to find the laughs.

  BONUS Tips:

  • Every audience isn't going to be for you.

  • Practice adding humor into different situations you might be in, like maybe you're presenting at work or maybe it's just kind of noticing what your friends are laughing at, and writing that down to form it into a joke is a great idea.

  • If you are interested in getting started in standup read the book "The New Comedy Bible" by Judy Carter

  In today's episode of Top Takeaways, I'm going to talk about three ways you can be more persistent.

  1. Be committed to learning and staying curious. Realize that if you can learn, you can do anything and not be afraid. Know that while you are learning you can still be a resource to people who are at a more beginning phase than you are and by working with them you can gain more confidence in what you are doing.
  2. Create some habits that will help with your mindset. Know that we will all go through some tough times but having the tools in place to help will keep you moving forward.
  3. Have discipline and systems in place to fight those times when you just don't feel like putting in the work. One of Jody's quotes was "Discipline brings freedom!"
  4. BONUS TIP!  Have some grace with yourself, realizing that you are making these baby steps forward and making progress even when it doesn't feel like it.

  Here is a glimpse at the episode:

  Tool 1: A website - whether you want to include your podcast as part of your existing website or you want to have a separate website it is a good idea to have a home for your podcast content.

  Tool 2: Podcast hosting provider - you will need a place for your audio files to live. Additionally, the right podcast hosting site will distribute your podcast to all the major streaming sites.

  Tool 3: Recording equipment. You will need a microphone (and possibility a boom). If you are doing a video podcast you will need a good camera too.

  Tool 4: Recording Software - this decision will be based on the type of podcast you plan to create. Will you use video and audio, audio only? Will you be interviewing guests or is it a solo podcast? All of these choices will help you to determine the best software to use when recording your podcast.

  Tool 5: Editing Software - Similar to the recording software this decision will also be based on the type of podcast you are creating. Do you need to edit video? Edit Audio? Do you want to have a transcript? These choices will help you focus on the best software choices for you.

  Tool 6: Education - If you have never run a podcast before spend some time educating yourself on best practices for launching a successful podcast.

As Laura Stack shared with us in her interview - this was one way she built a coalition of people who were interested in her cause.

  In today's Quick Fix Friday, I'm going to give you some of my top tips to get started with email marketing.

  Step 1: Sign up with an email service provider such as: MailChimp, AWeber. Active Campaign, Constant Contact.

  Step 2: Offer something valuable as a free "lead ".  Some options include:

  • A coupon
  • A checklist
  • An ebook
  • Video training
  • Quiz
  • Template
  • Free call
  • Tip sheet for how to make the biggest impact for your nonprofit
  
  

  Step 3: Put your lead magnet and thank you page on separate pages on your website so that it's easier for people to find and you can drive ads traffic to them.

  Step 4: Grow your list by driving traffic to that page.

  Step 5: Send out regular email content.  Once a week is a good frequency in general

Then today's episode is for you.  I am going to share with you 6-steps that we uncovered in Laura Stack's interview in Episode 16, where we talked to her about how she started her successful nonprofit, Johnny's Ambassadors, after the suicide death of her son due to high THC marijuana.

  Here is a quick glimpse into this episode:

  Step #1: Get really clear on your mission and focus, this will help give your nonprofit a way to measure its success. 

  Step #2: Use your network and learn. Leverage state and national organizations to help you understand the full process and seek out clubs or masterminds with others who are seeking to start nonprofits as well. 

  Step #3: Hire a great board of directors, they will help guide you and give direction to your new nonprofit. (Check out some references below)

  Step #4: Get a lawyer, they will help you get your nonprofit set up correctly from the beginning. 

  Step #5: Get all the paperwork filed. Be realistic about how long the approval process can take, there is a lot of paperwork to be filed (which is another reason a lawyer is helpful!)

  Step #6:  Treat your nonprofit like a business. You will need to market and set up an online presence for your new nonprofit. You will need to find funding and dedicate time to its growth. If you have that mindset early on it will help you grow faster and if you have never built a business before, find the support you need to help.

In Jamie Turner's Episode, he talked about how having a mastermind group can help your success as a business owner or anytime you're looking to make a change.

  In this episode, I dive into what I believe are the four essential steps to starting a great mastermind group.

  Step 1: Pick the focus of your group. You want to make sure that everyone is on board with that goal and has a similar focus. 

  Step 2: Invite the right people. You want to balance the number of people in the group with the amount of time you are meeting to give everyone a chance to be heard. You also want to make sure that everyone is pretty much at the same level or brings a particular skill set that would benefit the other members in a certain way. 

  Step 3: Set the agenda and timing. Setting up an agenda ensures that everyone understands how the flow will go when you meet. You also need to set the meeting times so participants can commit to making those meetings.  

  Step 4: Set the ground rules. One basic rule for most mastermind groups is to have a cone of silence, where nothing leaves the group. That allows people to be more open and vulnerable so they can get the help they need.

  A great mastermind can really change your business or change anything that you're interested in doing.

In today's top takeaways episode, we're going to dive a little bit deeper into Jamie Turner's episode 13, and talk about how to pivot into something new.

  Here is a quick glimpse into this episode:

  Takeaway #1: If you're thinking about making a larger pivot one resource I would really recommend Jenny Blake's book 'Pivot'. In it, she talks about how our journeys are not linear. Our journeys are not these predictable trajectories where you start one thing and end up in that career for your whole life.

  Takeaway #2: When looking to pivot into something new you want to stretch your imagination by asking yourself "how do I make this happen? " Know that your connections can be so valuable in making things happen, or even just finding out what a new career might be like, or what a new change is going to bring for you.

  Takeaway #3: Remember the words of Bob Dylan, "An artist is always in the state of becoming." We're always in that fluid state of becoming, and if you are considering pivoting into something new, you might want to make sure that you're giving yourself some grace as you learn that new thing and put that new label onto yourself.

You're, you are 65 and you're starting a Ph.D." As if this was an issue and it just never occurred to me.” ~Dr. Philp Merry

  In this episode of Quick Fix Friday, we're going to dive a little deeper into the idea of whether should you go back to school. This is based on episode number 10 where I interviewed Dr. Philip Merry and talked about his journey to getting his Ph.D. at age 69.

  To dive into this topic further, I found a great article on Coursera.org called Should You Go Back to School? 7 Things to Consider.  I want to talk about some of these questions as they relate to how Dr. Merry got his Ph.D.

  Question 1: Will going back to school further your career? And I would also ask, does that even matter to you?

  Question 2: Does it make financial sense to go back to school?

  Question 3: Is there a different way that you could achieve the same result without having the time-consuming and expensive choice of going back to a traditional school?

  Question 4: How are you going to go back to school? Do you need to go back part-time, while you're still working? Or would you want to go back full-time and shorten that timeframe to getting your degree? You also want to see if you're going to do it online or in person. Maybe you have to do something more unusual or extreme like moving, and that's going to be a bigger consideration.

  Going back to school might not be for everybody, but if you are getting that nudge from the universe, I think you want to honor that.

  Takeaway #2: Look for the synchronicities in life! We need to open our hearts and our minds to the synchronicities of the universe, and when we do that could lead us to live more miraculously.

  My favorite thing to do is to journal about things and I've found a couple of great exercises that have helped me a lot. Here is one exercise:

  1.  Make a list of everything you want to do (both big and small)
  2. List the things you are good at (both things you enjoy doing and aren't doing enough of and the things that give you joy)
  3. List the things that scare you.
  4. Then circle a few of the things that stand out to you.
  5. Now follow the prompt "How might I..." and add that thing to let your brain work on how you can bring that into your life.
  
  

  For example "How might I...become a rock star".  You never know, that prompt might allow you to become a "local" rock star first to help satisfy that desire. Now get into action  - pick something small and start there.

Lin Bruce does, that's who.
  Lin Bruce, from Northfield, MN is a late-blooming cross-country bicyclist. Her first transcontinental ride was in honor of her 60th birthday in 1999.   Now an octogenarian, Lin continues to bike.  Using the stories of her bicycle adventures as a metaphor for "reaching bigger" in one's life. Lin encourages people of any age to reach beyond perceived limitations. When Lin went from biking across town to biking across the country, she shifted the scope of her dreams and expanded her sense of possibility and she is looking to inspire others to do the same by telling you to "Keep at it. You'll get there!"

  In today's episode, we're gonna talk about how Lin's view of getting from point A to point B has changed and what it really takes to find fulfillment in midlife and beyond.

  Here is a glimpse at this episode:

  [1:50] If Lin had to describe herself, and her life, in one sentence, what would that be?

  [2:49] What sign did Lin receive that prompted her to take up cycling as she was turning 60?

  [4:48] What kind of training did Lin go through to prepare for her first cross-country bike ride (in 5 months)? And what did she learn as she rode?

  [8:03] If Lin could tell her [much] younger self anything, what would it be?

  [9:08] What really drove Lin's decision to take up cycling at the age of 60?

  [16:00] What is one assumption that isn't true about Lin?

  [18:18] What is the biggest lesson Lin learned on a ride?

  [22:10] What is Lin's favorite quote that keeps her moving?

Learn how we can leverage what we already know to make it a success. 

  Michael Stelzner is the founder of Social Media Examiner, author of the books Launch and Writing White Papers, and the man behind Social Media Marketing World—the industry’s largest conference. He’s also the host of the Social Media Marketing podcast and he’s the founder of the Social Media Marketing Society.

  Recently, Mike has decided to explore the world of Web3 by launching his latest podcast Crypto Business. Mike’s goal is to help marketers, creators, and entrepreneurs learn how Web3 can help grow their businesses, without having to sift through all the confusing financial or technical jargon.

  Mike will share with us that just because we have launched something similar before, doesn’t always mean it will be successful again but your mindset and perspective will help you see that you aren’t failing, you just haven't achieved the vision that you set out for yourself…yet!
