The BU Network Podcast | Conversations Worth Having

There are many interests and creative concepts SJ Homer desires to produce and share with the world, and Homer Sapient is that vehicle. The idea for Homer Sapient was a play on words of his notable (and bad ass) last name Homer, with the term Sapient denoting the wisdom he could capture and distill across his many interests. The play on words further relating to Homosapien, the name of our species, such that any of his works produced would have some impact on how to look at life a little differently, and how he could give back and help his fellow humans in a world filled with a bit too much negativism.

Olivia never wanted to be an entrepreneur. She graduated from University with a Commerce degree and headed straight into corporate sales with the dream of working her way up the corporate ladder to CEO. With a short-lived 3 year 9-5 career her dream came true but not in the way she thought. Introduced to a entrepreneurial opportunity while working for a Fortune 500 company, Olivia quit her job without a long-term plan or a savings account and leaned on her belief in herself to get her through. Three years later after some self-discovery and experience, Olivia runs a successful social media agency focused on educating other business owners like herself on how to take ownership, put themselves out there, and grow their audience and business through social media marketing. Her laptop lifestyle allows her to train and meet with people all over North America while in her office or on a beach.

The Science of Small Talk - BUild Your Network

Build the foundations of your network through small talk. Like the bricks of your home's foundation, small talk, like one or two bricks, may not seem like much; when you gather 50, 90, or 150, then you are building something!

These small conversations are when we begin to build trust, and relationships that can be nurtured into something meaningful.

Learn how to turn small talk into important conversations.

Joe “Dr Energy” Piazza and Kathryn “RaRa” Asaro Mayers have always emphasized effective, practical, real life principles. We learn best when we experience and practice core principles.

Whether you are presenting to one person, a small or large group, or an audience, if you’re not confident and powerful, your audience will miss your message. This could cost your audience’s trust, and your potential income.

While many people seem to be ‘naturals’ at speaking and presenting, these are skills you can learn, and when mastered, improve your business relationships, interpersonal communications, and negotiation skills.

A Conversation Worth Having on how we can connect more deeply with ourselves, our community, and, be of service to others.

Morry says: "I've had many problems ranging from hearing thousands of voices in my head to severe depression. I had a big mouth, always got into trouble and was accident prone.

Something inside me made me look into the brain wave entrainment field when I observed that time would move faster than other times. I made the connection that when time moved quicker the sounds I was hearing were more rhythmic. When time painfully stood still, the sounds were disjointed.

After many years of using other people’s products, I was determined to learn why these technologies seemed to work only in a minor way, when all of the research I read suggested the effects should be more dominant than what I was experiencing.

I decided that my best route to understanding was learning at the feet of an expert in the field. 

So I found and contacted the world's foremost expert in the field of brainwave entrainment and discovered some invaluable secrets that I could not get elsewhere. 

Now I’ve conquered the extra voices and severe depression, and my mission in life is to help others improve the quality of their lives without the use of dangerous and habit-forming drugs."
