So take no notice of those who are trying to bring you down online, they are already below you!It’s easy to fall into what Alexa calls a ‘lack mindset’. Where we think there isn’t enough room in a space for us. There is enough room for all of us, we are all different and when you add yourself into what you do you will bring something fresh with a new perspective.WEX is an inclusive, connective community.

- Anyone Can Be an Entrepreneur – Interview with J Ryan WilliamsIn the first episode of We Connect, Amy speaks to J Ryan Williams a coach and entrepreneur based in Seattle. They talk about disrupting technology across the world, entrepreneurship and the impact of Covid-19.KEY TAKEAWAYSJohn has filmed a documentary called ‘outside the valley’ about technology companies outside of the US. After watching, Amy felt like the ideas coming from other countries were so much more innovative and inspiring.Often the attitude in the US and other areas of the west is that if an idea has already been ‘done’ (e.g Uber or Amazon) then it is not worth pursuing, but this is simply not true. There are pockets all over the world, including the US where these major companies aren’t even established.Different markets obviously have different demographics and tech specifics. Smaller markets especially are often overlooked because they might not purchase in the way many people do in the US. But these are still significant economies many companies are completely missing out on just because they aren’t open to adapting.Because of covid the world is now much more open to doing anything virtually. So many of the barriers that were there before have been broken down and naysayers proven wrong.J Ryan would rather see someone who builds their entrepreneurial journey and business around them and their life than the other way around. If people can realise that we can construct businesses around us and the time we are spending on other things then entrepreneurship suddenly appears more accessible to all.When you have limited resources that’s when you start to become creative and innovative with your thinking.BEST MOMENTS“No one can say ‘this is right’ because that’s the way the American family operates”“The rules that exist in our head might not be universal”“What experiences do I need to have to be more accepting of even more people around me”"Let's re-imagine all Tech"VALUABLE RESOURCESFollow Amy on InstagramABOUT THE GUESTJ Ryan WilliamsABOUT THE HOSTAmy Ouzoonian is the host of WeConnect podcast.

- Society, Mindset and Mental Wellbeing - Interview with Tara BettsToday Amy speaks to Tara Betts. Tara is an editor, poet, author and teacher. They delve deep into racism and its impact on the individual as well as society. They also discuss mental health at length and the importance of mindset.KEY TAKEAWAYSHealthcare in the US has a history of being political, from the long and devastating history of racism in the medical industry to the lack of fact checking medical ‘advice’.Tara has had a very turbulent time with bereavement, divorce and starting her PHD. She knew she then needed to move back home because she wasn’t right in herself mentally, she needed space to heal.When accessing therapy, it is important to find the ‘right fit’. If you don’t feel comfortable with your therapist, find another one.White people must ask the questions around our privilege. It might feel uncomfortable but it is white people that need to do the work to make society more fair and equal for all.A big learning curve for Tara was about not taking things personally. It took her a long time to recognise and understand that although peoples’ actions and words might affect you, they are not about you. Everyone has their own battles and problems they are dealing with, most of the time how they behave is nothing to do with you at all.The prison and criminal justice system in America is broken. It doesn’t rehabilitate people, if anything it turns unlucky people into dangerous and desperate people. It disproportionally affects those from poorer backgrounds and is overwhelmingly prejudice against minorities.BEST MOMENTS“Healthcare has always been kinda political”“I was coming from a place of ignorance”“Prisons are violent and they don’t work, they do not rehabilitate people”VALUABLE RESOURCESFollow Amy on InstagramTara’s Twitter: @tarabettsTara’s IG: @chitownbettsTara’s FB: @tarabettsABOUT THE GUESTTara Betts is the author of two full-length poetry collections Break the Habit, which was published in October 2016 with Trio House Press, and her debut collection Arc & Hue on the Willow Books imprint of Aquarius Press. In 2010, Essence Magazine named her as one of their "40 Favorite Poets".Betts was born in Kankakee, IL and is the oldest of three siblings. Her first job was at the Kankakee Public Library. Betts received her B.A. in Communication at Loyola University, Chicago. She received her M.F.A. in Creative Writing from New England College in 2007.Betts worked with several non-profit organizations in Chicago, IL including Gallery 37 and Young Chicago Authors.

- Bring Light to the World – Interview with Marisa & IsaToday Amy is joined by Marisa and Isa both from Arizona in the USA. They are both passionate about health and wellbeing and have a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience between them. Their mission is to help people change their habits and enjoy a healthier and more vibrant life.KEY TAKEAWAYSHealth begins with the right attitude. A lot of the time people identify themselves with their illness, this means it will become your life journey and experience. But if you instead reframe your mindset and think about the power and strength you do have your life will be more fulfilled and you will experience more.Meditation is so important. Sit down, be quiet and listen to yourself.Both Marisa and Isa went into the wellness industry as they wanted their work to fit around them and their lifestyles rather than work dictating their schedules. They both already had an innate passion for health and wellbeing and this is one of the best decisions they ever made.You want your family and friends to support you with new ventures, sadly this was not always the case for Marisa when she decided to become an entrepreneur. She puts this down to perception and that people know and see you in a certain way.When you are doing what you are meant to do it doesn’t feel like work. You feel like your life is in a flow state and you are just doing what you were always destined to do.Tapping into what comes from the earth naturally has proven benefits for health and wellbeing, whether this is by food, exercising or even meditating.BEST MOMENTS“Health begins at the cellular level”“Amy you’re the light bringer”“What I do changes peoples lives on a daily basis”“We have to give to ourselves before we can give to other people”VALUABLE RESOURCESFollow Amy on InstagramABOUT THE GUESTMarisa & IsaYour health is everything. 77% of people surveyed are open to learning about ways to upgrade their health.What are you doing to stay healthy?Yoga and meditation instructor and Nutrigenomics educator, Marisa Maggio-Harelson and Wellness Entrepreneur Isa Dinerman share how to connect easy additions to your life to put you in the best mood ever.Follow them @mharelson and @isadinermanABOUT THE HOSTAmy Ouzoonian is the host of WeConnect podcast.
