We try our best to keep our family protected, always.  We follow the rules and pray that we will stay safe and healthy - this is a natural human trait, for most.  When we do fall short, we blame others. Are we back to square one because there a lack of leadership and we don't know who to follow?  Or is there an abundance of denial and stupidity swimming in the air?  If so even more reason to wear a mask.  

We all listen to podcasts.  We all have our favorites.  And yet, how often do you as a listener bother to leave a review or even a simple thumbs up on Apple, Google, Pandora, or Spotify?  Indie Podcasters built the foundation of podcasting over the past 15+ years and now are being left behind for deep pocket, celebrity-driven podcasts.  Here's what you can do...

Your home alone and your house feels like it's slanted sideways.  You try to ignore it, but then the driveway starts to slant, and navigating it becomes an issue.  Do you Google it?  Only to learn way too much about nothing at all?  Or do you shift your thinking, and accept that we are all physical beings and sometimes we just feel dizzy? 

Have you been to the post office lately and tried to ship a package?  What about UPS or FedX?  The cost is sickening.  It's unfair, period.  As a direct to consumer marketing expert and an amazon Brand Seller - easyGopro - go time just got easier,  I understand the history, and it's not a pretty story.  Find out why amazon.com, your favorite delivery service, has driven shipping rates sky-high -  giving consumers no other choice but to shop on amazon.com. 

When I came across a blog post on Datemix.com by a freelance, millennial writer, I couldn't help but share the Top 10 Things to Know if You Want to Date a Women over 50.  Here is one example:  They aren't looking for a Prince Charming...That's right.  Because we already divorced him!  Listen up to find out what women in their 30s really think about women in their 50's.  

Youtube can be the happiest place on earth if you look in the right places.  So when I discovered Russell Brand's short - real, raw and refreshing mini-podcasts - I fell in love.  No, not with Russell, but with his messages to all humans, especially on how to get back outside through believing in the "sacred". 

Russell didn't give me permission to use his name or audio clip, but I also don't think he will mind.

We all wonder what's happening in the world today.  There is no doubt that things are changing forever.  So, what if God could recall all the humans on the earth and start over.  What if all he, she, they, had to do is send an email.  Would you open it?  I did.

We all fight the credit score battle and strive to keep our FICO as high as possible - it affects every part of our lives. CreditKarma.com has made it possible to keep on top of it - for FREE, and that is awesome.  But, what happens when you find out that department store retailers, who are feeling the economic pinch from a pandemic, decide to screw with your credit limits for no apparent reason other than their own?  You got it...your score drops...

They say when there are no landmarks, or time-marks in your life, like planning a vacation, or looking forward to the weekend, or a special date and occasion,  that time seems to just slip away.  Do you feel like each day blends into the other with no defining lines or memories?  Is it a symptom of COVID or a silent warning that life is short and no matter what we need to not let it slip away.

I love being creative.  I'm a Pisces and by nature we are creative.  We can't help ourselves from living in a land far far away - one filled with whimsy and what-ifs.  So I asked myself, what if I created a use case for my fantasy of what a mini-podcast and flash briefing could be for personal brands -so I set out to find out for myself.  Here's why.
