Surviving to Thriving

Michael Barnes is the Founder and CEO of Awakened Innovations, Inc. He is currently developing an event, Cincinnati Hacking Homelessness: https://cincinnatihackinghomelessness.com

Michael helps nonprofits save time and money, their 2 most limited assets, by connecting them with the high-quality, vetted, service providers they already need.

On this Episode:

• Heather & Michael discuss the importance of collaboration between organizations.
• Discover the importance of preventative action.
• Listen to a clear breakdown of the differences between social ventures, for profits, and non-profits.

Key Takeaways:

• Don’t try to do everything, try to do your little thing and partner with other people who do the other pieces.
• If you’re just treating the symptoms and never treating the problem it’s never going to go away.

About the Guests:

Rema Abedkader – Founder & CEO of Cup O' Sugar. 12+ years in the non-profit sector with a background in sociology, passionate about solving cultural issues and building stronger communities. 

Between designing and creating, she loves to put her witty personality to the test. Guaranteed she'll have you laughing in no time. She's right handed, right brained, and just right for this team.

Brook Sheehan – Founder & CFO of Cup O' Sugar. 10+ years in Financial Accounting, 5+ years in Nutritional Sciences, an environmental activist passionate about social change.

Between chiropractic classes and reading books on business and personal development, she can easily become a ball of fire when she starts discussing things that she's passionate about. She's left handed, left brained, and if left up to her, we'd all be activists in our own way.

Key Takeaways:

• Sometimes you need to let a good cry come out, pull yourself off the ground and move forward.
• As human beings, we’re so scared to ask for help ourselves but we’re so willing to give help to others.
• You fly before you soar. You have to first love yourself before you can get to the next level of life.

About the Guest:

I'm Janie Liou, Founder of Prime Purpose. I help people discover their permanent imprint in the marketplace, understand their role in expressing that with their unique gifts and talents, and then provide direction for how to practically live that out. 

All too often, we feel limited by what we can do with our abilities. It's even more difficult to find our true passion and sustain that in the workplace. In business, I have had experience with for profit and non-profit companies, faith based and non faith-based. I have been the employee as well as the employer. I have been a consultant, as well as an entrepreneur for the last 18 years. Lastly, as a recording artist, touring songwriter and musician in a cut throat industry, I know what it's like to use my creative gifts to the fullest, make quality music, maximize on funds and make a lasting impact on society. 

Having been in every marketplace role imaginable, I have a unique perspective that has become my fuel for helping people. The game changer for me is that I now know exactly what my purpose is, and that permeates every aspect of my life, work, family, and faith. 

​

Whether you are in business, education, arts and entertainment, government, family focused, media or active in your faith community, I can help you zero in on your own unique role! You might be surprised at some untapped traits that are inherent to your maximum fulfillment!

Key Takeaways:

• Each of us has clues along our journey of life of what we are supposed to be three dimensionally. – Janie Liou
• You can’t know how to exercise boundaries until you can see what is a healthy situation and what is not. – Janie Liou
• You don’t get anywhere if you don’t set boundaries for yourself and other people. – Heather Knight
• Trust the process. – Janie Liou
• Don’t panic when you have emotional moments. – Janie Liou

It was now our mission to better help prepare parents. Whether it’s your first or fourth, we’ve got you covered from Birth Day to Birthday!

Since February 2018, we’ve spent countless hours researching companies to work and partner with. Our strict, yet simple mission statement guided us to where we are today. From our 100% made from recycled material boxes, to reusable and biodegradable/recyclable products, our ethical approach to creating a quality sustainable subscription box never wavered.

93% of buying decisions are INFLUENCED by social media*. Are you influencing your audience to come to you for a solution? Is your team? At ePresence we seize the opportunity to increase ROI using LinkedIn and other forms of social media.

The world interacts with your business through social media. Why not ensure that your social media profiles are as engaging and personable as possible? Let ePresence’s ePublicists refine and develop your professional identity so you can take more time to focus on the aspects of your business that you enjoy most.

ePresence recognizes the impact something as small as a social media post can make. One of our clients, an executive from a travel company, experienced this first hand. Astounded by the response on his LinkedIn profile, he expressed, “More people are noticing me and respecting my voice. I feel much better about my public brand that at any time in my career.” This can be your story, too.

Mark Galvin, Founder of ePresence, LLC and social media expert, has always loved being the go-to-guy for technology questions. He started ePresence after the Chief Operating Office of a major bank told him executives often do not have the time, know how, or desire to curate social media themselves. Mark then realized the need for his passion. Choosing ePresence to bolster your social media platform helps fuel your passion as well as ours.

Mark’s technological savviness has served him well through 32 years of business management and hotel industry experience. As a pioneering leader in social media, he hosts “How’s Your ePresence?” on Gwinnett BusinessRadioX where he offers thoughts on trending topics in the field.

Additionally, Mark recognizes the pervasive impact of social media on every aspect of culture. He speaks to companies and organizations to help them harness its value. He has traveled nationally for talks including: Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Dallas, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York City and Salt Lake City.

Evidence of his commitment to community, Mark is a member of the Business Community Network, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club of Brookhaven, & Marist Alumni Association.

Key Takeaways:

• "Identify revenue stream before you jump into the pool and hold your breath."
• "We have to be willing to do something new."
• "I have to plug into environments that allow me to become the most successful me that there is."
• "Find a career that will fully harness your capabilities."
