​BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS A STORY "BEHAS"

Welcome to episode # 62

My guest Angela Laws

Angela is the Community Manager at TrustedHousesitters, and she has a fascinating lifestyle. She is an expert at driving brand awareness and leveraging community spirit. 

She encompasses the warmth and spirit at the pet-loving community's heart. After retiring at age 65, Angela became a founding member of the TrustedHousesitters platform, and a full-time house and pet sitter herself. She chose to sell her permanent home and begin house and pet sitting full-time for eight years. 

This episode is about her story since she started TrustedHousesitters, her lifestyle and what the company is all about. Angela is an advocate for her work and the house and pet sitting lifestyle. You can tell how much she loves what she does and how grateful she is to be able to follow her passions and find her purpose. 

Angela has appeared on the famous BBC red sofa to discuss her retirement departure to pursue her passion. She has also featured in publications such as Virgin, The Telegraph and Financial Times as a guest author and interviewee. She received the 'Community Manager of the Year' Drum award in 2018. I am flattered she shared one of her many stories with us. 

Let's enjoy her story.

Fred Rutma's story goes beyond resilience. Today he is sharing a few details about his experiences, deaths, brain traumas, attempts at recovery, repeated medical errors, defective pacemakers, and overcoming adversity. But he's leaving plenty for his book readers. During this process, he discovered a potent prophylactic medicinal tool, intermittent fasting. Fred narrates this with great Jewish humour. Fred told me, "if we are supposed to make lemonade out of life's lemons, then I am making the best lemonade ever produced." 

Fred is a former college instructor, intermittent fasting coach, brain trauma and multiple deaths survivor. He just finished writing his medical trauma memoir "The Summer I Died Twenty Times" no one so far has had a story like Fred's. Even doctors don't believe it. 

Let's enjoy his story!

Andrew’s love of travel started when, at age 12, his parents encouraged him to take an educational trip to the Mediterranean. His early respect for money started not much later, probably because his parents expected him to pay for his college education.
One day, sitting on a friend’s patio after finishing a bike race, he realized that travelling, swimming in tropical waters, riding his bike, meeting fascinating people, and working as little as possible was his life’s dream.
At 19, he met a mechanic who happened to be a millionaire and taught him that one doesn’t need a high-paying job to build wealth. The concept is to make money work hard for you instead of working hard for your money. So before his 20th birthday, he started to invest. By the time Andrew reached his late 30s, he had enough money to retire. He kept working, though, as he knew it gave him more options. 
Twenty years later, he and his wife Pele are now living a nomadic life for the last eight years. He still works hard, but not as often. His love for travelling, swimming in tropical waters, riding his bike, and meeting fascinating people is now his reality.
This is his travel story. How it all started and where he has been.  

Andrew Hallam is a Canadian personal finance journalist, speaker, and author of three books, Millionaire Teacher, Millionaire Expat, and Balance. His books are about how to invest and spend for happiness, health, and wealth. 
Let’s enjoy his story.

Ann Hince wants us all to know that we have this incredible power; it means going further with practices that you are probably already doing. The key is practice. 

Ann believes changing what is on our inside will change what we see on the outside so that we can change our personal and collective worlds.

Ann is an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) expert, the author of A Pathway to Insight, and much more. In her book, she details her journey and breaks down the steps she took to attain what she calls Insight, or the ability to see within the body. Ann has developed the ability to sense inside her body and release physical tension stored in her connective tissue using the focus of her mind solely.

I am fascinated by Ann's story, and I admire her immensely. Ann has a YouTube channel; see the link below. She is here to share her method in great detail. To me, the most critical aspect is her character. Her desire for growth, perseverance, and discipline. Her desire to change her life and even bone structure. We all want to change or improve, but very few are willing to put the effort toward greatness. Ann never doubted. She wanted a happier life, and she did the work. 

Let's enjoy her story.

Adelaide Campbell tells her story, and the story of how Kachaça Spirits was born. Adelaide offers nuggets of knowledge for anyone thinking of taking a leap into their passion. She shares her challenges and her successes.  All that cachaça talk made me dream of summer and having people over for caipirinhas, Brazil's national cocktail. This interview might tempt you to get a bottle if you are in the US.  For the rest of us, we’ll need to wait a bit longer as she isn’t exporting yet.

 Adelaide is a former actuary from Boston. In the middle of the pandemic, Adelaide and her husband decided to move to Miami. After a while, she was itching for a change and an adventure and so  resolved to take a big risk by quitting a stable, well-paid job and launching Kachaça Spirits, her own brand of Brazil’s favourite spirit, cachaça.  

Let’s enjoy her story.

Eric Spitz is here to explain how he combines his passions of running and travelling by running a marathon in each of the United States’ 50 states before he turns 40. He also plans to have a book written by then. 

He is a member of the 50 States Marathon Club, and he’s already knocked 16 states off his list. Eric’s been writing about his experiences in each state on his Juxtaposed Journeys blog. Juxtaposed Journeys is also the name of his podcast, where he interviews other individuals who are following their life passions. This is an interesting story that offers new knowledge to the listener. Whether you’re a runner, thinking about starting to run, or are quite happy never having to run, ever, it makes no difference. 

Eric is a production planner, and podcaster.

It was so much fun having him on the show.

Let’s enjoy his story.

Tonia Cordi is here to share how it started for her and how she helps others with her five-step process based on her experience with her clients. Her process encompasses intentions and values — everything from personal growth and sustainability to organizing and creating systems. She started her career as a teacher and, after 12 years, decided to follow her passion for helping people create spaces that match their ideal lives. Soon after starting this, she realized that while an organized space can be transformative, it was only the first step in making space grow and evolve. So Tonia applied her background in education, the arts, psychology, and some trial and error to create an integrated process for individuals to meet their intentions, goals, and values. 

Tonia Cordi is the owner of Time & Space Solutions. She helps people de-clutter and redesigns their lives, so they can slow down, reconnect to their values, and live out their days with purpose. This involves examining inner behavioral patterns that create the clutter and then learning how to organize life better. Tonia looks at deeper patterns and how they show up in their host's external world. Your space and how you spend your time mirror what's going on inside you.

I am delighted to have a fellow organizer on the show. Organized people are fantastic. 

Let's enjoy her story.
