Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Episode 13!

I first met Stephanie when we both were very young. Like, in diapers kind of young. She's been my friend for literally ALL of my life, and now she's my partner in something amazing.

Ripples of Change is a non-profit we established to help underprivileged people. This all started with my efforts to change the course of fate for my sister, who lives on the Jeddito Navajo reservation in Arizona.

Did you know that COVID-19 hit the Native population; specifically the Navajo population, 400% harder than the rest of the country? And, the federal laws are so messed up, we couldn't even mail things like cleaning supplies and bleach to them during the pandemic.

This all started a fire in me to help these people, and Stephanie was instrumental in making this all happen.

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness podcast Episode 12!

Meet my friend Shala, 1/2 of the genius behind my media company, VanGarrett Media. :) They're an entrepreneur, they're a mom, she's a spouse, and she's a wonderfully gender-fluid human.

Some people may (and sometimes do) ask how Shala and I can be friends, given that we are vastly different people. Thank you for asking. Allow me to enlighten you:

Shala and I have far more in common than we have in contrast, especially when it comes to our ability to see and love people from all walks of life. I first met Shala and their spouse Chris in 2019, and both of them instantly impressed me with their real desire to know and understand me, long before they attempted to woo me as a client. We became fast friends, and before our meeting was over, I knew they were the ones to help me.

We get into the weeds on this one, covering subjects ranging from gender-fluidity (admittedly, something I'm still learning about), to sexuality, to how to accept and love yourself as you are.

I even cry. A little. :)

Join us, won't you?

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 11!

My friend Richard Bliss lost his job in tech...to his ex wife. O.O

Yeah. That literally happened.

That event was the catalyst for an impressive story of change, success, effort, and evolution. Named one of LinkedIn's Top Voices, Richard is an expert in Social Media; specifically, how to bridge the gap between older generations of business leaders, and using social media effectively in their professional and personal lives. He started a company, BlissPoint Consulting, which does precisely that. :)

Richard shares a wealth of information in this episode, including:

The difference between sharing personal and private information on social. How to deal with unsolicited messages on LinkedIn. How to identify when a bot is contacting you, VS a real, live human being. What is the LinkedIn "Golden Hour"? The single most important tool of influence on the LinkedIn Platform

I learned SO MUCH from Richard in this episode. I know you will, too! :)

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 07!

David has been Leta's friend for the better part of her life. In fact, he was nearly her brother-in-law! That story alone would make for a fantastic episode, but it doesn't stop there!

We go deep on this one. So deep, in fact, that we didn't make much in the way of edits to this episode; it's presented, more or less, how it unfolded.

David recommends the book Loving What Is by Byron Katie (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400045371/). He also teaches us a lot about chosen family, vibrational harmony, the appropriate perspective about failure being a gift, and that you should always love yourself.

We cover faith, loss, difficulty, sexual orientation, and being aware of your personal divinity.

We also learn the definition of a Lot Lizard.

Enjoy!
