It’s almost Christmas time, so what a perfect opportunity to talk about the importance of community and connection. In this episode I chat with Jason Knight, the branding specialist that created the brand for my businesses. However, we are not talking about branding. We are talking about a movement that Jason started in his neighbourhood to foster a spirit of connection and community. ‘The Front Yard Family’ has led to so many positive outcomes in Jason’s local community and the concept can so easily be picked up and applied to our business communities, that I thought it a great conversation to share.

If this episode has inspired you to combine the silos of your life into the one circle ‘the integrated life’ you can check out the special offer that Jason mentioned in this interview here:https://www.askjasonknight.com/onecircle

Welcome to the LAST episode of Season 2 of Space to Build, the podcast dedicated to the hard working women of construction.

This episode our guest is Kayla Bonish.

Kayla is a project engineer at Davis Construction. She works within the commercial interiors department.  She is another Hokie who graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors in Construction Engineering and Management.

She shares about her first year out of college, the day to day look as a project engineer, a taste of what tenant fitout work looks like, lessons learned, compassion in industry, and a glimpse into the life at Davis Construction, one of regulars on the Engineering News Records top contractors lists.

I had so much fun catching up with Kayla and picking her brain as she reflects on Year 1 of life post college.

Maybe you're like me and you're kind of a hater.

Are you cringing? I’m cringing. I just admitted to being one of the worst things to be. A hater. No one’s supposed to admit to that. No, we are all supposed to be fierce, confident, crown-adjusting, chin-lifting hand-extending queens secure in who we are, rocking t-shirts that read "community over competition" in bold pink letters. All. Of. The.Time. I’m not that all of the time. I am that most of the time. I am genuine, I am kind, I am empathetic and I want people to win. Sincerely... most of the time. But the rest of the time I am hating and trying to put it in check when I realize I’m doing it.

I haven’t always been able to coach myself through bouts of envy and jealousy. It’s a rather new development that came after writing my book Secret Donuts: A Journey to Getting Over Your Weight, Aligned with God and into Your Purpose. This episode is the fourth and final episode in a four part series dealing with themes related to the book. In it I share a section of my book that is an open and honest admission to how I zeroed in on a particular sister in Christ and hated on her because I viewed her through social media goggles and the lens of my insecurities. Over time I was able to heal, apologize directly to her and to stop viewing her (and many others) as competition.

I began to live by the wisdom of Proverbs 14:30 (NLT):
"A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;  jealousy is like cancer in the bones."

You know who this reminded me of? 
Saul and David.
 In 1 Samuel 18 a jealous Saul is tormented with jealousy and throws a spear at David trying to pin him to the wall. Twice. But David escaped both times. Just like Saul I was throwing spears. And Homegirl was ducking and dodging just like David. I was obsessed like Kady Heron was with Regina George and I could not stop the word vomit that would come up. I was a mean girl.

We might be more alike than you think...
Grab a copy of my book to see what I mean *wink wink*: Secret Donuts: a Journey to Getting Over Your Weight, Aligned with God and into Your Purpose

Building a new business can be scary. Starting a new journey in your life can seem overwhelming. But when you choose to live by faith and not fear, the world opens up to you. Of course, there will still be challenges and obstacles to overcome but you will be better equipped to handle it. In today’s episode, we are joined by Myles Berrio - a wedding and commercial photographer, serial entrepreneur, and author. Without a traditional business background, Myles showed up every day and put in the work to create and run multiple businesses. He credits choosing faith over fear to his success in business and in life.

About Myles Berrio
Myles is a 26-year-old wedding and commercial photographer living in Atlanta, GA. His life entails traveling all over the US and the world capturing the love stories of all types of couples while also being blessed to work with some of the largest, most well known companies such as Target, Netflix, Uber Eats, WeWork, and Revolve. As much as he would like to be called a photographer, at heart he really is an entrepreneur. Aside from photography he also enjoys his other businesses in consulting, e-commerce, and the food industry. He is a published author working on his second book. To sum it all up, most people will say he’s usually the happiest guy in the room.

To Build Your Business and Your Life in Faith and Not Fear
You end up creating what it is that you’re afraid of when you live your life through fear. Opportunities and doors start opening when you live your life by faith. When you live through faith, it doesn’t mean it will always be easy but it will always work out for you. When you go into business, your business might fail for a certain amount of time but that doesn’t always mean it will fail forever. If you are willing to trust, learn what you don’t know, and put in the work, you can make any business successful.

Practical Tips to Live in Faith Over Fear
Start with what you have and where you are. You can begin by building a habit of taking opportunities and strengthening your faith. Commit to saying “yes” to new things that you really want to do. It’s important to not let your excuses rule your life. Recognize when excuses pop up and figure out your best way to overcome them. Know who you are and determine what motivates you the most, that will push you towards your destiny. If there are beliefs you have today that are impairing your ability to move in the direction of where you want to go in life, then you can let go of those beliefs and accept new beliefs.

How to Say “No” to Fear When It Creeps Back In
Fear will never leave you completely. Even the most successful people in business still deal with fear and imposter syndrome. When the fear creeps back in, it’s important to remember what keeps you going. Your why in business. Remember why you wanted to start this business in the first place. You need to choose a why that’s bigger than yourself that will challenge you even when fear comes back. Fear will have no power over you.

How do you take your passion and your dream and make it a legitimate business? How do you “legally” make it a business? Today’s episode we are continuing our series on creating a real, money-making business out of your passion. We are joined by Attorney Carley Windorff* as we discuss how to “get legit” with your business.

Choosing a Business Name

It all starts with a name. Who are you doing business as? Researching and choosing a correct name can help your brand and your business stand out. Choose a name that’s unique enough that no one else has it (or at least doesn’t have it in your state or country) and register it.

LLC? Sole Proprietorship? S. Corp?

These are the three most common options for choosing how to file your business. The biggest difference between them is the issue of limited liability protection. It’s important to do your research and decide which is the best for you and your business.

Contracts Matter

Whatever type of business you are pursuing, it’s important to have contracts in place if you are providing a service. This helps communicate clearly expectations each party has and lays out exactly what the transaction will be. Consult with an attorney to make sure your contracts are legally binding for your state.
