Success in “The City” to Cow Tipping Lessons?
Crazy fun interview with Krystle begins with her move at 20yo to NYC from Trinidad. A single child, from a small town and island, away from her home, family and friends for the first time… and up for a challenge.
How did she make it in “The City that Never Sleeps”? (I’ve been there and it doesn't. Don’t ever get a room street side facing Times Square). Answer: finding people with the same interests. Compartmentalized Friends. Ones to go the movies with. Another group to work out with. Another group to swim in the fountain in Central Park… Yeah. No. That’s not real.
Her view of life and words to live by if you want success: “If you wanna go fast, go alone; if you wanna go far, go with others.”
Bringing this episode to a close would be advice on “cow tipping” and Krystle offering instructions for using the NYC Subway (now I get it, after 60 years).
2:00 - moved from Trinidad, Tobago at 20 to NYC. First time away from her family, friends and home.
5:20 - compartmentalized friends; big city and best way to meet friends was to find those with similar interests. Friends to go to movies with, friends to go to the gym with, etc…
9:00 - started writing as a way of dealing with tragedy. Writes from the heart and emotion so readers identify with her.
13:00 - “If you wanna go fast, go alone; if you wanna go far, go with others.”
15:00 - Understand fear… do not worry about fear, move around inside of it, and it will drop away.
16:50 - NYC Subway Instructions, now Lee can NOT get lost.
18:45 - Lee offers to show her “cow tipping”
Pitch - helps small businesses with Social Media; LinkedIn account set-up;

Amanda is the Boss… or Like A Boss
But she’s her own boss and as such makes some awesome decisions, from her “Plastic Phobia” to eco friendly clothing lines and homemade breads, soap and pasta.
This “Like A Boss” lady boss believes “nothing happens until you make it happen” and she lives by those words. She runs a successful media company and this podcast with her is illuminating. The world would be a wonderful place with more Amanda’s ...and there most assuredly would be less plastic in the oceans.
1:00 - Plastic phobia… Decided 3 years ago to start making things she was previously purchasing, from bread to soap to pasta… all items wrapped in plastic.
4:00 - has decided to not buy anything, especially clothing, not eco friendly.
7:00 - started tasting plastic in anything she bought wrapped in plastic, which gave this “plastic phobia”.
14:00 - alcohol free challenge for 28 days, now past 60 days… has decided to remain alcohol free. Discussion of benefits of not drinking.
18:20 - nothing changes unless you make it happen…

How do you turn an antagonist into a friend? Are we a society of people bashing people, doomed to destroy our society and country from within? This is what Gen. Mattis recently stated.
Nick believes our society has reached this point, and an unwillingness to change. Given our politics today, it’s hard to argue. How do we change this? The willingness to accept change, to accept that our beliefs may need to change and can change… is growth this world needs.
Knowing you have this willingness to let go of old beliefs creates a confidence within.
Having experienced this and grown into this way of thinking, I know it enhances confidence. A very interesting story and outlook is provided here by someone who strives to create change for the good in others, and in businesses. If Nick’s way of thinking became evident in society this might be a much better, friendlier place to live. Watch and see for yourself.
Then tell me what you think. Agree? Disagree?
Pitch: works with father in a marketing and sales solution company they own. The goal is to help businesses grow in the world, grow for the good of the world around them. Create a value story for the business.

Are you stuck? Get unstuck with creativity.
David views creativity as a capacity that goes unused by many. Why? People become complacent stuck in the same place for year after year.
Fear of something new, of stepping outside your comfort zone keeps one from reaching the capacity and therefore remains uncreative.
2:00 The myths of calling one “creative”. Creative is a capacity more than a skill or talent. Problem solving at work uses the same “muscles” as DaVinci used when creating.
4:00 Not all people with the capacity will use that capacity. Depends upon the individual. If you want a different or better result you need to stop repeating what you are doing.
10:45 Importance of creativity to David personally is discussed.Technology has been taking jobs for over 200 years, and replacing them with better jobs.
14:00 What’s up with the t-shirt: F=C(O+CH)
15:45 Resistance to the idea of creativity… fear of stepping outside the box and giving up “who we are”.

Humility without bragging defines Dave well. Why? Unemployed and prior to his business (helping people with LinkedIn profiles and resumes) starting up, he was doing all this for free by providing content for free on LinkedIn.
Humility without bragging references his unwillingness to charge people for helping them. Why would he not charge? This goes to what most entrepreneurs go through, the fear of asking for money for work because they are unsure of themselves and their abilities.
If you require assistance with resumes or job hunting on LinkedIn look him up… Dave’s your man. He provides content daily for free to help people.
Hits the floor running daily… references his 94 yo mother who says “you can rest when you’re dead”... the motto he lives by… So... if you require exercise, try and keep up with him after you look him up. Good luck with that.
The entire story is here, as is his contact information. Oh yeah… his family is from Finland and for centuries have raised reindeer for Santa Claus. Not really. But catch his story here anyway.
Intro: 1:15 - back to Feb 2019 LinkedIn account looking for work. Learning experience doing all the wrong things.
*(He loses me here … he was out of work at Feb 2019 and spent several months looking for work and volunteering; then Sept 2019 he “left his corporate job” to fully engage his business helping people with resumes and LinkedIn pages.)
9:00 - “Humility without bragging”. Took awhile for him to realize he was good at what he liked, helping people with their resumes and LinkedIn accts. Was giving away information for free and not originally charging.
12:20 - family moved to Minn. from Finland but has never visited.
14:00 - provides information daily for people for free to help people and to capture clients. Not a fan of resume software.
18:00 - 94 year old mother “you can sleep when you’re dead” her fav saying
Pitch: connect on LinkedIn easiest; check his profile out to learn more about how the profile page is meant to work…

From Columbia, Alyea has lived in multiple places, first with her family, and now on her own. So much moving has corrupted her definition of home, causing a seemingly endless journey searching for “home”.
In this podcast the definition of “home” is raised as a reality… What is home?
Returning to Columbia, she didn’t fit. Nor in the US. She the question of “where do I fit?” has lead to a lifetime of travel, searching for “home”.
We call home where we live, and work and have family. She defines her home not based upon a place or geography, but as community. She embraces differences in people and places, and is no longer stressed by moving.

Another copywriter on the show?
Take a seat. Buckle up. We are going on a ride.
In this episode we witness a first, one extraordinary copywriter interviewing another extraordinary copywriter.
Mr. Jolliffe believes that to be successful in the advertising world, as a writer of content, scripts, as a copywriter… one should have a life of experience to draw upon versus graduating from school with a degree in advertising.
Currently living in Paris, this former organ builder strives to continue to add “experiences” to his life. These experiences are his repository of ideas. He works at a church as a volunteer feeding the homeless, which has provided unique experiences.
So grab a chair and listen to a very unique, interesting writer of 26 years explain how and why he has found success. Visit his website and see for yourself after.
His advice about life resonates … let life take you where it wants.
2:00 - organ builder for 10 years then built a fireworks company. Introduced him to all kinds of people and cultures around the world.
6:00 - believes in most all ways of making a living there is enough to go around for everyone, that we all should just be good humans… “no backbiting” needed.
9:00 - Feeds the homeless every week in Paris. Said he meets all kinds of characters that makes him realize there is no pattern to life. (Met a former nuclear physicist in the soup line.)
14:00 - information sought out in life is what we retain. By working at other things such as the church soup line you are subjected to experiences that are rich and are what will be retained.
16:50 - advice: don’t just work… live as well. Let life guide you. Had a premonition his life would be short when he was young. Thereafter had cancer but he won the battle.
Pitch - 26 years a freelance copywriter in Paris, France. He is successful because of all the various perspectives from his many life experiences he brings to the table / writing from these experiences.
