On today's episode of American gypC Podcast, we're talking to Jackie Bebenroth about the importance of embracing change as a brand and business owner. Jackie draws from over two decades of experience in the marketing world to help visionary leaders in nutrition, fitness, and wellness improve customer acquisition and retention.

She's developed a communication methodology called the Change Marketing Framework based on the idea that change is cyclical, not linear. When people embrace this idea, they're empowered to enjoy quick wins and lessons learned (NOT perceived failures!) at every attempt for personal growth. With this understanding, marketers can better connect and cultivate relationships throughout the cycles of change.

At her agency, Muse Headquarters, she leads a team of strategists and creatives who are dialed into the needs of clients where behavior and lifestyle change is a prerequisite to success.

On today's episode of American gypC Podcast, we're talking to Chris Lalomia about his small business ownership journey. Chris is a successful entrepreneur and change leader that has built on his experience working with the largest companies in America to start his own business from scratch.  He brings his unique style to leadership to build a culture of professionalism to the blue collar world of home renovations.  He left the corporate zoo and ventured into the entrepreneurial wild and started The Trusted Toolbox: Home Repair and Projects in 2008.  YES, he started a business right before the Great Recession, so timing the market is not his strength.  He survived through that time and has grown his business into a multimillion dollar handyman and remodeling company which has won numerous awards in Atlanta, GA.

Chris is originally from Jackson, MI, and he does use his hand to show where he lived.  He went to college and earned his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Mechanical Engineering.  His path to business ownership was similar to most people’s journey to their current position… spinning and winding… His first engineering job was at Curtiss-Wright Flight systems making airplane parts, but soon realized he needed to add some other business skills to his resume, he joined Accenture and began working with large banks to help them merge, which led him to SunTrust(now Truist) where he transformed the commercial loan operations department… That meandering path led him to make the leap into starting his own business, The Trusted Toolbox in 2008.  His company is focused on processes and training to deliver home renovations and earning customers trust each day.  The culture in the company is on continuous improvement and allowing the “artists” in the company to show off their talents as they are set up for success.  Chris appears regularly as a guest on WSB95.5’s Home FixIt Show and TrustDaleTV providing advice on home projects for consumers and answering their questions.

On today's episode of American gypC Podcast, we're talking to Merc about Crypto, Shib The Metaverse, and Living Abroad. This episode was recorded when Shib The Metaverse information was first released. We break down some of the information for the metaverse and the Shiba Inu ecosystem. If you're not familiar with Shiba Inu it's a coin that recently came into existence and is termed "Dog coin" or "Meme Coin" but here on the show, we love Shiba. It actually has a lot of utility that Doge doesn't. For example the Shiba Swap, Metaverse, NFT Collection, and an amazing community all within a year. The price went up an astronomical amount within the last year and already made plenty of millionaires when it deleted some zeros. When we first got into Shiba it had 5 zeros in front of it and now it has 4 zeros and everyone is waiting for the .01 or .1 mark which would be life-changing for a lot of people, now that would be the biggest wealth transfer. We invest and believe in a lot of other coins and tokens but Shiba Inu is definitely one of our favorites. If you're interested in crypto and blockchains we have several episodes where we and other experts break down the terminologies and concepts in a digestible manner. The Youtube channel has it in a playlist.
