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 and platforms to stay   competitive and abandoning them when they don’t work -       How online marketing is a dynamic field and always changing -       Being willing to be a beginner -       Assessing the R.O.I. on big investments in consultants and masterminds -       Learning the fundamentals of business, marketing and operations -       The importance of going “ALL IN”  -       How growing a strong online presence and business takes time My favorite lesson from Zach:  “One failure is not your fate!”  Agreed (as I’ve demonstrated multiple times LOL).   This episode is your permission slip to go all in on that idea you have for something you want to launch or try, and to have fun doing it.  As promised, here’s the link to SUBSTACK which I mentioned during our conversation:  https://substack.com      Connect with Zach Spuckler  at:   His website:  http://www.heartsoulhustle.com/  IG: @heartsoulhustle #launch #onlinemarketing #businessconsulting #onlinepresence #internetmarketer

026: Digital Media Marketing Strategy with Tiffany Carter of ProjectME

“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 moved on with her life, and has created work that is a true expression of her passion and her purpose, a culmination of all of her work experience, where she now is able to bring her whole self to her work. She started her non-profit institution where she helps parents home school their at-risk children, working mostly with children who have dropped out or aged-out of high school.  She has done this for 83 families, which is a huge accomplishment. We get really personal in this interview.  I was impressed and honored about how deep and vulnerable Doc was with me on the podcast.  She shared really personal details about her life, such as how she was a “shadow person,” and how she got tired of hiding her true self, and what she did about it.  Like all great stories, Doc Mabry’s story is one about struggle and triumph with identity, finding joy and love. Of course we cover these topics:   Transitions Perfectionism Waiting for the perfect moment before taking the leap Being vulnerable Resilience Finding Your Passion, your purpose. It’s about picking yourself up and moving on with your life.   Connect with Dr. Annise Mabry Website: DrAnniseMabry.com Doc on Facebook Foundation on Facebook Book: “Educational disobedience; One mom’s home school journey that changed a community”    Connect with Jennifer  Website: RoamHowl.com  Facebook  Twitter Email me here.

025: Picking yourself up and moving on with your life when you get kicked in the teeth with Dr. Annise Mabry

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 bullying, and I support them in having the confidence to be more visible so their customers and clients can find them.  So many professionals and business owners are afraid to be more visible precisely for this reason – fear of the trolls. It stops them from using technology to its fullest to grow their businesses. And then I read this story about a 6th grader in Mississippi who hung himself after being called fat, ugly and worthless at school. And my heart broke for him.   I was that 6th grader.  I remember the absolute despair I felt at the time.  Obviously, I survived. But so many do not. This morning’s news made me realize I could not wait any longer to release this episode. My next guest is Sue Scheff.   Today you know her as the advocate against on-line hate.   She was a victim of cyber bullying and harassment before it was even a thing, and she filed a now famous lawsuit to get her reputation back, and won a huge verdict.    Sue can tell her story better than I, and that’s why we did this interview. She, along with Melissa Schorr, is the author of Shame Nation, an amazing book with a forward by Monica Lewinsky, someone else who knows how the choices we make as humans sometimes have unintended and long-lasting consequences, especially in the digital age.   On-line hate is a very real, very tragic problem. Our society has become so toxic in the way we disagree with each other.  It is very difficult to find people who disagree politely anymore. That’s why this topic means so much to me. In fact, it’s the main reason why I started this podcast.  I desperately wanted to shift the conversations I was hearing all around me. Please read Shame Nation.   And, more importantly, please be kind to each other.     Connect with Jennifer  Facebook Twitter Email me here.

“It&#39;s a weird world today where if you really search for the truth, that’s the most contrarian thing you can possibly say.&quot;&quot;~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.    How can I not love to read a book like this. David’s next big project is his book entitled “Getting Art Done, Kill procrastination, boost your productivity, and make your masterpiece.” This one I also can’t wait to read. I really could have used it when preparing this episode. So, for those of you hoping to find the heart to start your next chapter, be it a work of art, career move, business venture, relationship, whatever  …….   You must not miss this conversation because the insights we openly share will enlighten and inspire, and maybe even shine some light on new possibilities.  &quot;Lately I am feeling a little empowered by the idea that life doesn&#39;t have meaning and so because of that you should just do whatever you want with it and as a byproduct you end up helping people and having an impact on them.&quot; ~David Kadavy  Links &amp; Resources Connect with David Website Love Your Work podcast Creative Productivity Tools from David Facebook Twitter Connect with Jennifer  Facebook Twitter Email me here.

“I want women to stop beating themselves up with that mean voice and live by the voice that says, ‘You are worthy now.’&quot;~Kelly Covert  Jennifer talks with inner voice coach Kelly Covert about speaking up, giving voice to what it&#39;s like to be an authentic woman in this world, and acknowledging your own self worth -- no matter how challenging. In this vulnerable conversation, Kelly shares her struggle with performance and perfectionism in regard to being a professional musician, triathlete, coach and, especially, as a mom to a child with special needs. *** Kelly Covert is an inner voice coach with a passion for helping women entrepreneurs believe and achieve their big vision by connecting deeply with the wisdom that is inside of them all while owning their worthiness each and every day.

I am also on the web at www.jgardnerassociates.com and you can read about my approach to practicing law. Highlights from the Episode -The “inner voice” Kelly talks about is the place of wisdom inside of us, not the voice that beats us up -- it takes practice to be able to discern between the two. -How we can try on our inner voice to see what it feels like in our physical body, like we would a dress.  &quot;Is this me? Is this who I am? Is this who I want to be? Why do I think that I need this? Is this something that somebody told me I needed?&quot;  -The importance of a consistent morning practice and what that Kelly’s looks and feels like. -Connection to higher power and divine source -- how Kelly believes this power is rooting for her to succeed and it comes through in intuitive hits of awareness.  &quot;When I meditate, I don’t get voices speaking to me… I just get really still because usually up there in my brain I’m a hot mess.&quot;  -The origin of the title “inner voice coach” and how that relates to her career as a professional flutist and teacher. -The challenge of trusting your inner voice and how it relates to risk taking. -The through line of Kelly’s life and work in music, triathlon and coaching. -Growth and learning through fear and failure. -Kelly’s stru

Jennifer Gardner interviews street artist Megzany. http://roamhowl.com/018  &quot;I would never tell anyone ‘oh, test the waters.&#39; 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. If you know that you want a change, you have to dive in.&quot; ~Megzany  Meg Zany is a Los Angeles-based street artist. Zany’s first pieces of street art appeared early 2016 and she has since produced countless works in over a dozen cities around the world, including LA, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, West Palm Beach, New Orleans, Montreal, London, Kraków, Paris, and Berlin. The nature of her work is often a contrast — bold in-your-face text paired with lively figures that intimately connect with viewers. Possessing an affinity for flight since a young age, her work often utilizes images that depict aviation. One of Zany’s most iconic stencils is of Amelia Earhart paired with the mantra, “Courage Has No Gender” in order to inspire and motivate others toward an optimistic future, while paying homage to all women who disrupt the forces of gender-profiling — just like Zany herself is doing daily within in the male-dominated world of street art.   Connect with Meg:    Megzany Website   Courage Has No Gender Kickstarter (through 8/15/17)   Instagram   Twitter   tumblr   Facebook    Connect with Jennifer:   Facebook Twitter Email me here I am also on the web at www.jgardnerassociates.com and you can read about my approach to practicing law.   Highlights from the Episode:   How Jennifer and Meg met via the magic of Instagram The story of how Meg went from fashion school to the business of corporate recruiting to street artist in downtown LA  &quot;I just want to paint in my underwear… that’s my dream life.”  Hitting rock bottom with “job envy” and checking into therapy to in order to get to the bottom of what she was feeling so she could rewire her  Meg’s philosophy of just closing her eyes and going for it  &quot;I didn’t know how hard it was going to be.

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. Emily Ann's mission is inspire a global resonance and magnanimous community through the marriage of art and whole-person development.   “The unknown is actually not terrifying. It’s the enormity of how much is unknown that makes you not know what to do about it." ~Emily Ann Peterson    Connect with Emily Ann  EmilyAnnPeterson.com  Bare Naked Bravery Podcast  Twitter Instagram Facebook Pinterest   Connect with Jennifer   Facebook @jenbgardner on Twitter  Email me here I am also on the web at www.jgardnerassociates.com and you can read about my approach to practicing law.

"I find that I'm the most alive when I'm riding the fear wave... turning the tips of my skis straight down the fall line and going for it. It's a lot easier than resisting." ~Jennifer Gardner, on facing fear Shownotes: http://roamhowl.com/014 As a follow-up to Episode 011 on My Struggle with Perfectionism, I did some research and reflection on practical strategies for dealing with this very common tendency that can stop us from doing just about everything. Here is what I came up with:  Get out of your head. Mindset, meditation, and the value of sleeping on it, without over thinking. "When a bad thought comes up, whether I'm meditating or not, I acknowledge it and then I tell it 'Thank you,' and 'Please go away.'" ~Jennifer Gardner, on mindset and meditation  Face your fear and do it anyway. Mitch Jackson (Episode 003) interviews Seth Godin in this video. Here's a quote: "The safest thing to do is to play it risky, to stand up, to ask questions, to lead, to connect, and to make art." ~Seth Godin  No regrets! Lin Eleoff talks about how her definition of success is living a life with no regrets in Episode 013.   "If I'm constantly obsessed with being perfect all the time... I'll be sitting on the bench or sitting on the fence or sitting on my @ss instead of being in the game, and I don't want to sit there! I want to play the game.

If I have a regret or I’m making excuses, then I will have disappointed myself.&quot; ~Lin Eleoff  How Lin had no desire to work for a big law firm with small kids at home -- she wanted to start own practice but saw what her colleagues in private practice were going through and realized she didn’t want to run the office — she just wanted to practice law.
