Sharing Passion and Purpose

In continuing with this year's theme, make 2022 the Year of You, I'm sharing my top two tips to keep in mind when creating or updating your profile in LinkedIn. LinkedIn is an online social media platform and, in my opinion, a must for anyone who wants to network and create an online professional community. It is an extension of your personal brand and it's important to invest some time in creating a great LinkedIn account. 

I would love to connect with you on LinkedIn: @SharingPassionand Purpose and my personal account is @nancy-moore-tulsa.

Husband and Wife duo, Adrienne and David Kallweit, are partners in business and in life. They are highly successful entrepreneurs who have built several businesses including, Seeking Sitters, a concept they scaled and franchised. Now, they are embarking on their next chapter, restoring an old building in Bartlesville, Oklahoma - the location of our recording! Their renovation includes three unique businesses; the Palace Rooms Lounge, Loft Apartments and Lollipops, a General Store. If you're thinking that this is enough to keep them busy, you're right - but throw in their seven kids and that makes it even better! During this podcast, I visit with Adrienne who shares about their commitment to prioritizing family first and how they make all this work. She also shares questions to consider about starting a business and helping it stand out! 

John Favell has put over 100,00 people to work. How? He started a temporary staffing company in Tulsa, Oklahoma that grew to twelve offices in five states. His genuine curiosity for asking the right questions coupled with his ability not to be detered by the word "no" helped him on his entrepreneurial journey. John wrote a book, meant soley for his grandkids, appropriately called, Enjoy a Career with No Regrets. This book is a resource for anyone interested in maximizing their potential and their career. And...best of all, he is allowing you to download the book for FREE! Details on my website: SharingPassionandPurpose.com. Listen to our visit and then download the book! You will benefit from the deep-dive as he shares many lessons that will help you on your own career journey. Why not invest in yourself and learn from someone who spent his career helping others with theirs! 

In recognition of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, I sat down with Registered and Licensed Dietician, Stephanie Harris. As a busy mom of two boys, she has alot on her plate - literally! And coaches people regarding what they have on theirs!

Our conversation shares alot including why weight isn't necessarily wellness and the importance of emphasizing a routine of rest. We also discuss the versatility, continuing education and coaching aspect of her career. And she shares tips on positively interacting with your child if/when the topic of weight or health arises.

Many of you have asked to hear from people who have started a non-profit! This week, you'll be hearing from Lisa Shotts, Co-Founder of Gaining Ground Literacy.

Lisa has a heart for helping and a mind for data-driven results. Her considerable time spent in the classroom as a teacher -over twenty-five years – provided insight into the importance of having access to summer reading material.

As a former instructional reading coach for a local school, she could see the notable digression students experienced in reading skills over the summer break. She could also see that it boiled down to opportunity, or lack there-of, in economically disadvantaged communities. In these areas, also referred to as reading deserts, students simply didn’t have access to books or reading material.

That’s when she and her colleague Kirby Mackenzie realized that they had the power to make a simple change that would provide a lasting and life-long impact. That simple change of getting books into the hands of children in reading deserts has grown into a local non-profit known as Gaining Ground Literacy.

Happy to kick-off Season 4! This season is full of amazing people who are actively engaged in their lives and careers. I'll visit with people who have started non-profits, joined the family business, are active in their communities and entrepreneurs who share the grit it takes to start and run a business! 

I'll also share a story of meeting someone in-person that I follow on Instagram & a personal BIG goal that I am working to accomplish in October!

It will also share a few hints about upcoming guests in Season 4 starting August 16th! And a huge THANK YOU for joining me on this journey!
