Start Your Own Podcast

Hosting a podcast interview isn’t always as simple as it appears. So, what makes a good podcast?
A podcast host is the show’s creator, mediator, reporter, and the glue that holds it all together. Hosts are critical to the success of any podcast because it is not enough to have good audio; there must also be a strong voice. While you want to bring your own authentic voice to a show, becoming a top-tier podcast host takes time, skill, and practice.

To start your own podcast, you should do the following:

• Understand your target audience.
• Do your research.
• Make a good bio.
• Find your niche and topics to discuss.
• Understand your competition.

Finding The Right Podcasts

Getting interviewed on podcasts as a guest is a great way to get free exposure to your target audience. It also requires far less effort than guest blogging. Getting a podcast interview is a great way to promote your show, brand, or business.
Podcasters are always looking for the best ways to market and expand the reach of their show, and there is no better way to do so than by targeting engaged listeners who are interested in your topic.

Choosing the suitable podcasts can help you:

• Increase traffic to your website or business.
• Make a name for yourself as a valuable resource.

In this expert insight interview, Stacey and John discuss “How to discover your personal power within your comfort zone of your core values and personality traits.”

This Expert Insight Interview Discusses:

• Understand your core values and personality traits.
• Fear of being authentic
• Difference between sympathy and empathy.

It’s Time to Leave Your Comfort Zone

Living in your comfort zone has obvious advantages: less stress, less anxiety, and overall feelings of well-being. However, it can make you feel like you’re stuck in a rut. It’s easy to stay in your comfort zone and do what you’ve always done, but if you want to achieve progress in your life, you must break free from what holds you back.

The capacity to force yourself out of your comfort zone in positive ways on a regular basis allows you to strike the right balance between certainty and uncertainty. Pushing your limits can help you become more productive, adaptable, and creative.

From Comfort Zone to Growth Zone

Fear does not always equate to panic when you leave your comfort zone. Fear can be a necessary step on the path to learning and growth. It requires courage to step out of one’s comfort zone and into one’s fear zone. After a period of learning, a new comfort zone is formed, expanding one’s ability to achieve even greater heights. This is what being in the growth zones entails.

It’s critical to cultivate a mindset that builds solid foundations, paving the way to the growth zone. This includes seeing yourself as naturally adaptable, reframing stress, and having faith in your ability to overcome fears and doubts.

Randy Langenderfer is the President InvestArk Properties, LLC, focusing on creating investor value and passive income returns, for the busy professional, in Multi-Family real estate. In this expert insight interview, Randy and John discuss “Passive income from multi-family real estate.”

This Expert Insight Interview Discusses:

• Is multi-family real estate a good investment?
• Why would it be a good idea to invest in a multi-family property?
• Different approaches to Multi-family Passive Income.

Why Multi-Family Investing?

The recommended investment plan for those looking for a second source of passive income as well as a moderate but consistent increase in portfolio value is buying rental property.

Which is a better investment in real estate: a single-family home or a multifamily property? It’s a common question in the world of real estate investing. Purchasing a single-family home and then renting it out is a common practice. However, in many cases, investing in a multifamily property may be more dependable and profitable. Multifamily investment sales are expected to set new highs in 2022, driven by rising single-family home prices, strong fundamentals, and a slew of new products entering the market.

Reasons to Consider Investing in Multi-Family

COVID-19 demonstrated that Multifamily is a well-insulated asset class compared to other asset classes, particularly other types of commercial real estate. The following are the top five reasons to invest in multifamily real estate:

• Simple to Finance
• Instant Portfolio Grow
• Property management Services
• Passive Income
• Superior properties

Multi-family investors can collaborate with a single deal syndicator who is raising capital for the purchase of a single rental property. This scenario provides less liquidity, but it also gives investors direct knowledge of the property in which they are investing, allowing them to conduct their own due diligence.

  Challenge of Self-leadership

Understand Your Role in Self-Leadership

Self-leadership is one of the most frequently overlooked, underinvested in, and most significant gaps in developing human capital in organizations. An individual who is deliberate in influencing themselves and others toward a common goal. Self-leadership must be a foundational development strategy for a leadership development program to thrive in an organization.

It is not possible to lead others successfully if you are not first leading yourself in that direction. Discovering how to form effective goals is an example of self-leadership. It also includes the ability to effectively manage time by tracking daily progress on the goals they set and following through on your daily to-or do’s, maintaining an organized schedule for performance feedback.

Ways to Pursue Self-Leadership

Don’t put off taking the initiative. Take the lead. Don’t wait to be told what to do or expect others to solve your problems. Take part. Reflect on how you contributed to a situation and make a commitment to responding with your best self. Recognize how your actions affect your teammates and the shared outcomes of the team. Instead of complaining or blaming, ask yourself what you can do to make things better.

The best leaders set a good example. They understand the importance of self-leadership in achieving success. When you know who you are and accept responsibility for how you present yourself, you will make better decisions and build stronger relationships.

Jennifer Love is a philosopher, money therapist, and the founding CEO of Living Wealthy Institute. She works with the leader and the national speaker. She is an award-winning, 5x career entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience. In this expert insight interview, Jennifer and John discuss “Money Therapy.”

This Expert Insight Interview Discusses:

• What is money therapy, exactly?
• How can you tell if someone is emotionally destitute?
• The significance of a money therapist.

Working with Money Therapist

Like many other types of therapy, financial therapy or money therapy focuses on emotions and psychology. Money therapy is not financial advice or guidance; neither the training nor the expertise is available. A person going through this process may seek assistance in changing money habits, learning basic financial management skills, or creating financial wellness.

Money and financial problems can be significant sources of stress for people. People who are having financial problems may benefit from meeting with a money therapist, who can assist them in coping with difficult feelings and stress, treating underlying mental health conditions, or changing troubling behaviors.

Financial Therapy and Issues

Therapy can help alleviate the stress of financial problems and may even help eliminate them entirely. Therapy can assist people in determining whether their spending habits are unhealthy or whether their attitudes toward money are the result of problematic lessons learned as children. Most therapists can help with the psychological and emotional consequences of financial issues, but some choose to specialize in financial issues and become certified money therapists.

A therapist can assist a person in identifying the source of the need to spend and developing better-coping tools to help him/her maintain financial health.

Irina Poddubnaia is the founder of TrackMage. She is an agile leader, change maker, and visionary. She helps customers to get information about their order and provide them with an opportunity to buy again. In this expert insight interview, Irina and John discuss “how to create the best-possible post-purchase experience and get extra sales from existing customers.”

This Expert Insight Interview Discusses:

• What measures can people take to create a post-purchase experience?
• How can businesses strengthen their customer relationships?
• Get the best referrals and testimonials possible.

Why need to create a post-purchase experience?

In the eCommerce space, the post-purchase experience is completely unfocused. Most businesses miss the big picture when they don’t have a post-purchase experience marketing strategy.

The post-purchase customer experience refers to how you treat someone who has progressed from a prospect to a customer after they have made a purchase. Contacting your customers in a variety of ways after they purchase your product can have a significant positive impact on your business.

Existing customers are a treasure trove for any modern company. However, many brands ignore customers immediately after they make a purchase in order to focus on acquiring new ones.

Referrals and Testimonials

We are all aware that online reviews can assist businesses in establishing a positive brand image, attracting more customers, and increasing sales. But how does it improve the customer experience after the purchase?

In order to increase post-purchase engagement, encourage customers to share their honest reviews. To begin, soliciting reviews is a simple way to stay in touch with your customers after they have made a purchase. Second, it demonstrates that your company values and respects their opinions.

Customers can be encouraged to leave reviews on your online store, social media, product review websites, community forums, and so on. You can also offer discount coupons, free samples, or other relevant perks to entice more customers to share reviews.

Catherine Mattice is the founder and CEO of Civility Partners, an HR consulting company focused on helping organizations create respectful and positive workplace cultures. Today, in this expert insight interview, Catherine and John discuss “How to create positive and respectful workplace culture.”

This Expert Insight Interview Discusses:

• Create balance at the workplace.
• Focus on employee engagement.
• How to improve workplace culture?

Building Positive Workplace Environment

Building a positive workplace culture has emerged as a top priority for businesses all over the world. As a result of the current pandemic, many employers are shifting their focus to creating workplace environments where employees can feel safe, engaged, inspired, and productive.

That is why organizations that want to change how people work – and how they feel about work – must prioritize culture. Among the organizational benefits are:

• Teamwork
• Excellence
• Honest
• Integrity
• Customer Experience

Recognize The Culture

Workplace culture is more than just changing workplace behavior; it is also about how you act at work. Employees have hectic schedules and a long list of tasks to complete before deadlines. So, when employees outperform their expectations, a leader recognizes and rewards them.

The implementation of rewards and recognition programs is the first step toward establishing a positive work culture. This behavior encourages and motivates employees to perform better in the future.

Focus on Employee Engagement

Employee engagement is a common issue in the workplace these days. Many businesses organize various employee engagement activities in order to boost employee engagement in the workplace. The success of an engagement activity is not always determined by how much money you are willing to spend on it. Employee engagement helps you understand your employees and create a positive workplace culture that aligns with the employee’s individual values as well as the organizational values.

Impact of Covid-19 on Children and Relationships

Covid-19 is one of the most severe global crises in generations. The pandemic has had profound and far-reaching consequences for healthcare systems, economies, and societies. Families and communities have been strained and torn apart. Children and teenagers miss out on learning and socializing opportunities. Businesses have declared bankruptcy. People’s mental health has been greatly impacted as they deal with these health, social, and economic consequences.

The Covid-19 pandemic, like other ongoing crises, has increased the urgency of strengthening mental health systems worldwide. Covid-19 has a significant impact on mental health. Making some children and adolescents stay at home may have increased their risk of family abuse or stress, both of which are risk factors for mental health problems.

Focus on Self-care Strategies

You may experience stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, and loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic. And mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression, can worsen. For all of these reasons, it’s critical to learn self-care strategies and get the care you need to cope. Self-care strategies are beneficial to your mental and physical health and can assist you in taking control of your life. Take care of your body and mind, and connect with others to improve your mental health.

Maintain the openness of communication with your child. Find ways to help your family’s mental health during this difficult time as well.
