Summary:

On this episode of Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way, host Will Crist talked with Nathen Fox, a certified EOS implementer. Before hearing about the EOS Life, Nathen was a fractional executive who worked with anywhere from three to five companies at a time. He worked 60-hour weeks and was not being compensated correctly for the amount of work he was doing. Although he liked his job, Nathen realized something had to change and he soon began to embrace the EOS Life and help others do the same. Throughout the episode, Will and Nathen discussed how EOS has affected Nathen, his clients, and the people around them.

Quotes:

“…Do things that…fill your energy, bring you energy, bring you joy. And you know, when you’re done, you should have more energy. And that’s how I feel.” Nathen Fox, (4:09)

 

“My challenge is making time for other passions…We just had our quarterly meeting today with our team. And that was on the issues list is me protecting my time and making time for other passions. So we’re making that happen.” Nathen Fox, (6:33)

“We really were brought up to work hard and that’ll take care of everything, but, that’s not the case. They really got to learn to not work as hard.” Nathen Fox, (14:55)

What is a Caregiver?

This episode of Living Hope is a continuation of a pervious conversation about being a Caregiver with Stephanie Ruvalcaba Ho. What is a Caregiver? If you provide help to another person in need, you are a caregiver. Caregivers can be professional – hired through an agency or a family member stepping up.  Caregivers come in all different types – the one who takes care of all the medical needs, runs errands, meals, personal needs.  There is a lot to being a Caregiver, many challenges, roll coaster of emotions. Even with all these feelings there are some good things that can come out of this difficult situation. Listen as we have a very open and honest discussion here only on OC Talk Radio, Orange County’s only community radio station streaming live from UC I Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove.

This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to all Caregivers and thank them for their care, support and love during our journey.  I’d like to end with a quote from Former First Lady, Rosalynn Carter: “There are only four kinds of people in this world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers. Caregiving is universal.”

Wow! It’s been a year already?

I can’t believe a year has come and gone! Who knew, for me the first episode I would go from “Executive Producer,” to actually becoming the host.  Looking back through our first year, so many amazing journeys, each one left me with wanting to learn more.  We shared so many emotions, laughter and tears but each one filled with love. Many of the journey’s may not have had the outcome we hoped for but we still found something positive, some strength we could take from every journey.  Join us on our weekly journey as we provide hope here only on OC Talk Radio Orange County’s only radio station live streaming from our station here at UCI Beall Innovation Center at the Cove

This week we talk with a young supermom who wasn’t feeling so super after suffering some severe health issues and injuries.  But she was determined to be all she could be to her kids, so she bought a Pedego Stretch that was big enough for her two kids (7 and 5) to hop on back. And off they went to be (in her words) an “explorer extraordinaire” (at least in the eyes of her kids). 

Hear her heartwarming stories of riding again and sharing adventures with her kids like taking on the Gardens of the Gods in Colorado.  Like the supermom she’s determined to be (in spite of her injuries and illnesses). On this week’s Pedego Podcast.

A family friend gave 14 year old Tori a purple journey to help her cope with her feelings after learning her father had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  Ironically at that time neither realized purple is the awareness color for pancreatic cancer.  Tori felt her journal offered her a safe place to write about her journey and also used this journal not only to write about her feelings but to also keep track of her dads symptoms, treatments, medications, test results, anything to do with his journey.  Hear how this teenage girl helped co-facilitate a support group for other teenagers who had lost their parent and how her experience led her to where she is today.  Only on OC Talk Radio, Orange County’s only community radio station live streamed from UCI Beall Applied Innovation Center.

Summary:

On this episode of Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way, host Will Crist talked with Alex Kochetkov, the founder of Mubert, a musical platform that generates music with the power of AI. Although Mubert is Alex’s first startup, his determination and experience have helped him grow a successful startup quickly.

Quotes:

“It’s super difficult to choose the tracks to run [to]…And it was so annoying for me. And I decided to create something that will help me to run and not to think about music.” Alex Kochetkov, (2:57)

 

“It helps people just not to think about music. So we should make the music the commodity.” Alex Kochetkov, (9:58)

How to Get Your Book in Bookstores

Posted in book publishing, Business on May 12, 2022 by OC Talk Radio

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-rt2sz-12253a3

All authors want to know this burning question: HOW do I get my book into a physical bookstore? Well, it’s complicated.

In this episode of the Pub Date Podcast, Dr. Jen Dorsey and Vanessa Campos break it down into two buckets: chain stores and independent bookstores. What are chain bookstores? Think Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million and any other bookstore that has locations across the US. Buyers at these retailers work at the national level for the most part. But independently published authors can still reach these booksellers by getting to know them, the books they carry, and what is selling. Be sure to check their website, follow submission guidelines, get to know the buyer/bookstore manager.

What are independent bookstores? Or as we affectionately call them indies. These are the local bookstores in your neighborhood owned by an individual. (If you’re not sure if there’s one near you, then check out http://www.indiebound.org or http://www.bookshop.org to search your area.) For the indies, it’s all about handselling and relationships. So be sure to form a relationship with your local indie BEFORE you have a book. Work with them to create an event around something OTHER THAN a traditional book signing.

Find an indie near you: www.bookshop.org/ or check out some of our favorite indies:

Yes, according to Wendy Ross’s guest Philippe Oertle. He’s the managing director of Catalina Capital Group. He has nearly two decades of wealth management expertise.

“I asked him on my show today because he specializes in developing and managing investment portfolios, as well as structuring lending, and trust and estate solutions,” Wendy says.

Philippe presents the ins and outs of wealth advising and weighs in on the impact of inflation upon investors, home buyers and sellers. Plus, he shares his perspective on leveraging real estate for financial gain.
