This week's episode is with the president of Green Up Solutions and TEDx speaker, Andy Weins. Andy discuss leadership lessons that he's learned over his years as an entrepreneur and believes in leading from the front.

When it comes to leading, it's Andy's mindset that he's not going to send his employees into the fire until he makes sure it's hot. We also discuss selfless service and how in pretty much any situation, you can never be wrong for doing it-it's very hard to be wrong always putting others first.

Andy then talks about seizing opportunities as they present themselves. How often does someone who's struggling see an opportunity and walk away? One this that Andy said that really stuck with me is, "Own your pain, transform it into your passion to define your purpose."

When it comes to getting better at something, trying something new, or taking a risk, JUST DO THE THING. Try it and if it doesn't work, adjust fire and keep trying!

Hello my Get Heard Herd!

This is the first ever episode that I recorded "live." Live in that I recorded it unedited and with an accompanying video (link below).

We often hear about blogging and journaling as a form or therapy-a way to get things off our chest and vent. Getting things out of your head and onto some sort of medium is extremely helpful and stress-relieving. If we can do this with writing, why not podcasting?

That's exactly what this episode is about! Not only do I love creating quality audio content for you all, but it is so nice to be able to speak my mind and share it with other like-minded individuals. I feel so much better and calmer after a few hours of recording and editing podcasts. I can feel myself unwind there stress just leaves my body.

Do you want to see/hear more of this type of podcast? Let me know andI hope you enjoy this episode.

Today's guest, Amanda Huffman from Women of the Military Podcast, and I discuss the importance of two things that are often overlooked in many organizations: mentorship and servant leadership.

Have you ever had effective mentors? I have been blessed to have several over my life and can honestly say, that I would not be where I am today without them. Amanda shares some stories of how mentors played a role in her life and how she is now able to give back by mentoring other young women.

Servant leadership, is much more than simply putting the needs of others before your own. Amanda explains what servant leadership means to her and how it has helped her as an Air Force officer and mentor throughout her life.
