Teaser: So just for you my audience I have one of the best investment tips I can think of. It’s a really hot tip and in all honesty it has the chance of really deeply changing your life! We don’t have that much time left on this world and how and what we invest in is literally the seeds we sow for our future.

Today’s podcast rethinking investments with Time and Money

Today we will talk about:

How are Investments normally seen?

How can we rethink investments?

What are the deepest investments we can make?

Welcome back to the podcast! Is the second one I will be doing with my partner Michelle! I wanted to bring her on the podcast today because she thinks about investments in a better way than I usually do and I wanted her to share her perspective!

As far as the podcast there have been two quantum leaps forward recently! First the downloads in the past week have been amazing!  In the past week we have had 245 downloads. Some really great days too back to back 30+ days, a day of 81 and another of 46 and today there has been 55 so if you are new welcome to the podcast. Love to have you along! The next thing leap was we found out the voicemail line is ALSO a text line. So you can also send a text along to the podcast as well to ask questions, or leave some feedback! Please remember you can email me at [email protected] or leave me a voicemail OR TEXT at 860-576-9393. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Also remember to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or if you could please share the podcast on social media, All these things go a long way to making a significant difference for us here at the inclusive activism podcast. Also please subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast, Player FM, Pocket Casts or Google Play as these are great ways for me to show “proof of work to potential sponsors”. It would also go a long way in getting my producer Sara paid for her work someday too! It was super cool to have her added voice last podcast

So checking in on my Activism:

Getting ready for a few things – a forum in Late Feb as a small group discussion leader for Chandler Unified School District

Have a few plans for some service coming up

Will be another small group facilitator Tuesday for the Diversity Leadership Alliance on Defamations an Interactive Play!

And soon will be assisting on a Civil Conversation Series on REALationships talking about abuse and violence in all relationships

Self Care:

Lift X5 a week which has been excellent!

Cardio is at 3X per week early am with Chelle which has been good

Flag Football once a week which helps me a lot too

And Meditated for 4X last week which was great!

And have read at night at least 2 times last week

Tank training which is how to train yourself good corrections

Recommendation for Self-Growth – Meet with someone and have a deep conversation about the state of a relationship. There are state of the states and state of the unions. Why not state of the relationship? These are the things thought of most important things in life.

So on to the podcast for today! Looking forward into 2018.

First thing: What do most people think of with investments.

Stocks and Bonds for sure

Bank Accounts

Capital items Houses – cars etc

Time spent at work to get money

401K Stock Market – shaky investment these days

Second: What are some atypical investments not thought of

Money is just traded time

Time spend with religion

School

Relationships

Time with pets

Meditation

Working out

Self Care

Vacations

Friends

Reading

Work connections

What are the most powerful investments and what in the hell does this have to do with Diversity and Inclusion?  

I think the best investments are TimeXMoney investments.

Time is the most finite resource we have. Once spent we can never recoup that resource.

Dinner out with your partner is a money by time investment

Vacations are time by money investments

Experiences are time by money investments

Service and donations can be a time by money investment

When thinking of going for equity we must use the double barreled approach to investment in the solutions to these problems. You might need to invest time in service as well as money which was traded time.

So in review major points of this podcast were:

SO if this made you think something, if you have a question or even more shocking a critique let me know. You can call me at 860-576-9393
