On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about collaboration with podcasters and entrepreneurs Chuck Anderson, EventAffiliates.com; Dave Jackson, School of Podcasting; and Tim Lewis, Stoneham Press. Collaboration comes in many forms from summits to podcasts to books. One of the best things about collaborations is they can be the launching point for other endeavors.

Goals

- Chuck: Reach out to someone you know - and haven't communicated with in a while - and set up a time to talk 

- Tim: To grow your connections, find a Facebook Group or LinkedIn community; post/interact

- Dave: Take the list you have of things you are going to start, and spend 15 minutes working on one of the things

Final Thoughts

- Tim: Collaboration is good; you can achieve a lot when you work with others

- Chuck: There's no obstacle too big to overcome; you may be just one collaboration away from helping each other achieve success

- Dave: Don't hesitate to reach out to your dream collaborator, just because you think they are too big to want to work with you. Also remember, sometimes a "no" is actually "not right now"

On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about AI with Paula McConnell, AI clarity strategist and educator; Chris Stone, chief content entrepreneur, Cast Ahead; and Jason Van Orden, AI business growth and marketing strategist.

Goals:

- Paula: Ask more questions. "How do I best use you?" or "Before you begin, do you have any questions?"

- Chris: Use an aggregator, such as Magi, Poe, Merlin, so you have all of your tools in one place.

Final Thoughts

- Chris: AI can't network ... at least not yet

- Jason: AI is here to stay; try it out!

On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling has a serious conversation about humor on this week's GoalChat with multi-hyphenate authors Amy Ferris, Mighty Gorgeous and Marrying George Clooney, and Rob Kutner, Snot Goblins and The Jews: 5000 Years and Counting. The panel talks about their experiences and projects - in addition to books, Rob is an Emmy-winning late-night TV writer and Amy has written screenplays, as well as their takes on writing, tapping into humor, and more.

Is humor nature or nurture? While having a sense of humor may be a little bit of both, it is a tool for self-care, creativity, and kindness.

Goals

- Rob: Find something people are afraid of or intimidated by and find something stupid or ridiculous about it; put something creative into the world that wasn't there before

- Amy: Watch for the things that bring us joy, be kinder to the people who are kind to us. Write, be truthful, love better.

Final Thoughts:

- Rob: You've got something to say that no one has ever said before that others need to hear

- Amy: Be loud, be audacious, be bold. Don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough. Go out there, do your thing, be you because you are beyond enough.
