Make a Difference! – The Mentors Radio

In today’s episode, Host Tom Loarie talks with job search experts and sisters Sue and Kelly Connelly regarding how to find a job in challenging times. In 1997, marketing communications consultant and founder of Connelly Communications, Sue Connelly, launched a simple email list to Keep In Touch with friends and clients. But soon after, as friends began experiencing layoffs, the list transitioned into a job opportunity lifeline for the friends. As job opportunities were shared with others, the list rapidly grew and Sue engaged her sister, Kelly, to transition the email list into a job board. Kelly is the principal and creative director of a San Francisco design and branding firm. Today the KIT List, named for it’s origins as a Keep In Touch list, boasts 67,000 free subscribers and is well-ranked among employeers seeking quality employees. Here are Show Notes.

On today’s show, host Ric Brutocao talks with Joel Noble, director of Public Policy at Samaritan Ministries International about healthcare sharing—what is it, how does it work, and how it is different from health insurance. As Obamacare became law and health insurance premiums sky-rocketed, even for those working for large corporations, interest in federal-approved, membership-based healthcare sharing alternatives to regular health insurance soared. Today there are even more healthcare and medical expense-sharing organizations that provide a cost-saving and viable alternative solution for many small business owners, entrepreneurs, independent contractors, and their families. But they may not be right for everyone — it’s important to understand how they work in order to make an informed choice. Find Show Notes here.
