Carearing

Serra Vonderhorst, Market Manager at Genesis Motor America, is with us today to discuss the challenges of being a single, working mom. From carpools to teacher conferences to sports practices, raising little humans while juggling a full time job can be extra demanding. How do we respect the challenges of ALL moms while also reaching out to those women who may need a little extra boost? Join me and Serra as we break this down in this episode, and share tips for single, working moms to help with the  onslaught of back to school!

Drum roll, please! For the first time ever, the Carearing podcast has not one but TWO male guests on the show, Scott Joseph, CEO of J&L Marketing, and Sandy Cerami, CEO of Sandy Cerami and Associates. On this important episode Sandy and Scott bravely take on what is needed from our male counterparts to enable women to be the rightful leaders they are - and I have to tell you, their answer may surprise you! 

In addition we share what's in store for the Business Bourbon and Cigars mastermind event in Louisville in September and really get down to the most pressing question of all - in a boat race, would Sandy or Scott take the winning title? Hope you'll join us! 

Today we are with the insanely talented and inspirational, Kerri Wise, CMO of AutoFi, Co-Founder of the Women of Color Automotive Network (WOCAN), and mom of two! In this episode Kerri shares with us the steps she took to find her own, unique leadership style as she climbed the corporate ladder, and how being her authentic self helped turbocharge her career. We also discuss the important work she is doing in the space to bring women of color's voices and opinions to the forefront of the industry and the deep sense of responsibility she feels in regard to being one of the public faces of this movement. And finally, we round the episode out with her secret to keeping it all together at work and at home. Kerri is as authentic as they come and if you don't know her yet, you will want to rush right out and meet her after our episode! 

Author Sapphire Christine joins us in this special Carearing episode to share her most recent creation, the Hidden Gems book series for children that details three fierce females who came to power in the Gilded Age of the 1800s. The series includes the fascinating stories of Margaret Getchell LaForge, America’s first female executive in retail; Anna Sutherland Bissell, America’s first female CEO; and Maggie Walker, America’s first female bank president. In addition to launching her book series and kickstarter campaign, Sapphire shares how we can better encourage our kids to follow their entrepreneurial dreams and support them in those endeavors. I love, love this episode and hope you will too!

Join me and Lizz Callaway, Product Manager for Microsoft, as we delve into something that I am embarrassed to admit I have never thought of before, why are we so afraid to show our kids how hard we work? In this episode, Lizz goes into the every day ways she shows her two children how hard she works and how it pays off for them in trips and other luxuries. We also discuss how we can better show our hard work in our careers and some tips on how to cheerlead for other female leaders in the room. Please join us for this lively discussion - one of my favorites!!!

 Man, I'm tired guys! Between building up my agency, hiring up for the extra work coming our way, attending business meetings and conferences, and being a full time single mom to two great teenagers, I. AM. WIPED! But.. I still make time for the things that inspire and fuel me. 

Today's episode is all about finding and cultivating that inner spark - how do you find it, how do you kindle it, how do you find the time for it, and how do we turn it into a raging inferno? I hope you like the ideas I present to help put you on the path to inspiration - I want only good things for all of you!
