Power of the Pivot Podcast

The question is, can we as humans compete with technology? Especially AI.One of my clients uses Chat GPT for everything. A friend of mine talks to Siri all day long. She uses it like you, and I may have used 411 to gather phone numbers and make dinner reservations.I don't use AI to write my content. But I do use a tool that transcribes my podcast episodes. Because I am all about time management and productivity, it helps me find those identifiable moments that I want to highlight in my audiog...

Every December, I sit down with the women in my mastermind, and we pick our word for the following year.Before we do that, we reflect back on the word of the previous year and see how it may have inspired our growth and creativity.My words for 2023 were opportunity and expansion.Some years, my word never manifests.

And the best part about it is that she has only been at this g...

As someone who prefers to smoke my buzz, I am not surprised by how mainstream it's becoming. Although still very much an uncomfortable or taboo subject, I would say that 90% of those in my inner sphere eat some dose of edible, have a favorite strain of Indica or Sativa, or even grow it.This week on the podcast, I sit down with the CEO of Tokin Jew, a full-fledged loud and proud stoner who has found a beautiful and humourous way to merge Judaism and Cannabis.

We all have people around us who can and will support us - even when unsure of what kind of support we need. That's precisely what Sheryl Wachtel and I discussed in this week's podcast episode.

This week on the podcast, Melissa Meyers and I discuss what it takes to build an online space in your 50s and how it’s not always easy.

Melissa’s passion for clean living and the products she has used over the years to do that in all areas of her life has allowed her to build a platform where she can inspire others. An...

When did you last update your resume?If you are anything like me, you have multiple versions of the same thing buried in Google Drive. Because the resume is dead, it's time to find a new and improved way of showing others that your value deserves to be recognized.

Putting a square peg in a round hole is way more common than you might think.Taking your big idea and transforming it into something viable, like a book, digital course, PDF guide, or subscription model is no easy task.
