You screwed up. Made a bad decision. Now if you’re human, this has happened to you.  It’s inevitable.

Whether you’re an employee or business leader it has happened. And, I’m sure it has happened in your personal life as well.

The question is, how do you deal with this bad decision? And, what do you do about it?  One of the questions you need to consider with any bad decision is what are the unintended consequences?  

Join me, Angelo Ponzi, at the Business Growth Cafe as I explore this topic and offer up some ideas and steps you can take to deal with a “Bad Decision.”

 JB Jaso and Tyler Noesen were childhood friends.  Life has a way of moving on, Tyler, married the love of his life and JB went on to join the US Army and serve our country.  Even though they had not seen each other for a while, when Tyler was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer he asked JB to join him in Washington, DC and participate in PanCAN’s National Advocacy Day.  JB didn’t know what to expected that day, but from that day on he continued the fight with Tyler and still continues today even after Tyler’s death in 2012. Whether you watch or listen as JB shares his journey you will be moved.  Taken from Tyler’s Blog of Live “Dream as if you’ll live forever, Live as if you’ll die today.”

Join us for another amazing journey here on the PEDEGO PODCAST as we talk with Aaron Maynard who bought a Pedego in London back in 2013 when he was a Colonel in the US Air Force on assignment at the US EMBASSY there.  Whole idea was to get to work faster thru the maze of London traffic (and maybe enjoy some exercise and fresh air along the way).  Which led instead to him exploring the alleys and “Penny Lanes” of this historic city.  And eventually to return to his roots in South Carolina (after he retired) to open a Pedego Electric Bike store in Myrtle Beach. Leaving the Air Force to lead a new type of charge…

Elissa Oblath joined the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research after hearing stories about her sister-in-laws father who had died from pancreatic cancer.  Though he died before they met, hearing her sister-in-law share stories about her father, inspired Elissa to get involved.  This connection drew Elissa to Hirshberg and she now serves as their Communication Director.  She shared her connection to pancreatic cancer, what a Communications Director does and upcoming event “Tour de Pier,” on octalkradio.net Orange County’s only community radio station. Livestreamed from UCI Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove

Kelly Barber and her sister Wendi Cihacek share their journey with pancreatic cancer. Kelly talks honestly and emotionally about losing her husband, George, in 2006 to Pancreatic Cancer. Wendi did the unimaginable and moved across the state to support her sister and help with her niece, Megan, who was 2 at the time. Kelly took her pain and grief and turned it into something positive. She became involved with her local PanCAN affiliate, attending meetings, raising awareness and funds and sharing her journey with Members of Congress. Not surprisingly Wendi stepped in and supported her at every turn. Kelly shares, “When we first got started, it was just for George. Today, it’s still for George, but it’s also for all the people we’ve met who are alive and fighting.”  Only on www.octalkradio.net Orange County’s only Community Radio Station, livestreams from UCI Beall Applied Innovation Center @TheCove www.facebook.com/LivingHope2055

How to Promote Your Book on LinkedIn (without being salesy)

Posted in book publishing, Business on August 29, 2021 by OC Talk Radio

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-kjfc8-10c860a

LinkedIn is a powerful network with more than 740M active users. We’re all on it and we’re all talking at each other. But we may not be using the platform in the way it was intended. For savvy entrepreneurs and book authors, LinkedIn has become a new source of revenue. It’s probably good to know that book marketing on the platform doesn’t have to be a hard sales pitch–it should be an education and networking opportunity. 

Joining us today is LinkedIn and sales expert and author of Entrepreneur’s Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business, Ted Prodromou.
