- Episode 15: On The Spot Featuring Carolyn Cole, founder and owner of the Boomtank.com and host of the Boomtank Business Show Podcast
In today's episode we sit down with Carolyn Cole, the founder and owner of the global business consulting and coaching company www.Boomtank.com and host of the Boomtank Business Show podcast.
For nearly two decades, Carolyn was a Fortune 100 and Fortune 200 Senior Company Trial Attorney, and before that, she received her M.S. at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Carolyn's motto is that business, personal and professional success should always meet happiness, and that's what she delivers through her work. Carolyn was selected to give a TEDx Talk in Florida, and she encourages other aspiring speakers and entrepreneurs to apply for such talks.As the host of the Boomtank Business Show podcast, she interviews experts who focus on self-improvement, confidence, motivation and the other tools people need to build a successful business.Carolyn shares with us her lived experiences that helped shape her and lead to the many different career trajectories that led her to be a substitute teacher, an attorney, a scholar on the human psyche, and ultimately a consultant and career coach for entrepreneurs and businesses.
"The summer after college, I was at Island Records as a publicity video intern and I met their acts, I met different people, it was really cool! U2 came for lunch, different people popped in and out and I got to meet them and talk with them, but that summer in New York, I starved. I ate one salad a day, I walked blocks and blocks to get to their office which was one floor above Tower Records and one floor below where Keith Richards lived... I realized there is a concession to doing exactly everything you want at such a young age."
Key takeaways:
"It's absolutely insane that we at our young people in their teens, or early 20s, mid 20s and late 20s, even 30s and say, 'You have to decide right now where you're going to be for the rest of your life.' It's one of the insanities that we grew up with thinking that it's perfectly normal and it's not. As you grow and change and mature , and different experiences shape you, there are different things that come and different things you will want to explore."ICYMI: Make sure to check out Carolyn's On The Dot #WomanToWatch feature on our website OnTheDotWoman.com and on our daily newsletter and podcast Four Minutes With On The Dot!

28 min - Episode 14: On The Spot Featuring Pavi Dinamani and Nammy Sirur, co-founder of The 9to5Misfits
In today's episode of On The Spot, we had the opportunity to sit down with the dynamic duo Pavi Dinamani and Nammy Sirur, the creators behind The 9to5Misfits, a YouTube channel helping women kick ass in their career and build their personal brand.
They also co-founded Misfit Communications, a marketing and production company making videos for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Their aim is to build trust with their clients' audiences and expand their networks by focusing on personal branding and storytelling through video. In 2016, Pavi and Nammy became unemployed and decided to tell the world about it through their YouTube channel, The9to5Misfits. That's when they learned the power of storytelling, which inspired them to launch Misfit Comm. Prior to co-founding their business, Pavi worked as an oil & gas engineer. For Nammy, her groundbreaking moment happened in 2014 when she watched a TED talk that emphasized how most people stay at their jobs out of fear."I was in Austin for about 6 months at this job that completely kicked my butt because I had gone from a corporate background to working at an agency and had never before done any creative work before even though I was good at it, it was a completely new way of working. It really taught me what my skills were and what my passion was. So when Pavi told me, 'Hey I got laid off,' it was a no-brainer for me because I was primed by that point to actually say 'Hey, I think I'm ready to be an entrepreneur and take the biggest leap of my life,' because I had taken all of these small leaps before that." --Nammy Sirur
"Our first client is when we were like "Oh wait, we need to consider this as an actual revenue source and something to build." I don't think it was just because we made videos, it's because of the way we shared our stories, made ourselves look like heroes even though we were the losers, we didn't have a job [and that] really struck a chord with a lot of people." --Pavi Dinamani

27 min - Episode 12: On The Spot Featuring Baily Hancock, Collaboration Consultant
For this episode of #OnTheSpot, we sat down the collaboration consultant, Baily Hancock to discuss millennial women finding their place in the workplace and in their careers.
As a Collaboration Consultant, fellow Podcaster and Workshop Instructor, Baily helps people collaborate with their community to achieve their goals; whether that's making a career change or growing their business through Baily Hancock HQ.When Baily first began collaboration consulting, she launched her first course called "The Career Experiment," where she had only one person signed up for it. This failure propelled her to work harder the second time around, and her hard work paid off: she promoted her second online course, "The 1-Year Career" much more, and thus began her road to entrepreneurship.

Our key takeaways from our convo with Baily: Stay "approachable, adaptable, and flexible."

25 min - Episode 10: On The Spot Featuring Meg Gilbert Crofton, Former President of Walt Disney Resorts
Prior to her On The Spot podcast debut, Meg Gilbert Crofton carried all of the responsibility that comes with being the first female president of Walt Disney Resort. She shares with us all of the trials and triumphs during her tenure with Walt Disney that make the magic happen in the happiest place on Earth!
Most recently with Disney’s Parks and Resorts Division, she became one of three COOs charged with driving smooth operations of the Parks and Resorts business segment. Her direct responsibilities were for the Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort and Disneyland Paris. This involved overseeing a workforce of more than 100,000 cast members at three sites with direct accountability for eight theme parks, 31 hotels and large-scale retail, dining and entertainment properties. In total, this represented a significant share of the total revenue for the entire business segment. In addition to domestic and international operations, she had responsibility for the global lines of business that supported the entire parks and resorts division which included expertise in food and beverage, merchandise, hotel and park operations, entertainment, industrial engineering, safety, security, and facilities asset management.During her tenure, the company undertook massive cultural change, which entailed leveraging best practices, enabling international expansion and developing talent worldwide. This included driving a seismic cultural and organizational shift from operating as independent sites for decades to becoming a truly global organization. Another major change effort was the integration of the physical and digital experiences, first implemented at The Walt Disney World Resort. Upon her retirement, she received the highest honor Disney bestows: a dedicated window on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort celebrating her legacy of mentoring and leadership development.ICYMI: Make sure to check out Meg Crofton's On The Dot #WomanToWatch feature on our website OnTheDotWoman.com and on our daily newsletter and podcast Four Minutes With On The Dot!https://onthedotwoman.com/woman/meg-gilbert-crofton

30 min - Episode 9: On The Spot Featuring Rachel Winard, founder of Soapwalla Kitchen
Rachel Winard was a professional violinist before going to Columbia law school, at which point she received her Lupus diagnosis. She finished law-school and went to work for a firm when the auto-immune disease took it's toll on her mental, emotional and physical well-being. This forced her to take a step back from her high-stress career and focus on self-care. At the same time, she found that her skin became extremely sensitive and sought mild ingredients for skin care. This is really the start of Soapwalla Kitchen, a proud member of the LGBTQ community, who create products for your health rather than products to help you look a particular way. Soapwalla has a workforce in which half the employees proudly self-identify as queer. In addition to 10% of their net proceeds this year to organizations including the Astraea Foundation, the Ali Forney Center, and SAGE, the company will also be marching in both NYC and Brooklyn Pride.
