The Art of Delegating - With Yaro Starak

During this episode of the Finding Fire Podcast, we had the opportunity to speak with Yaro Starak, co-founder of InboxDone.com, an email management company with a team of 25+ serving clients including restaurant owners, venture capitalists, accountants, doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, car retailers, online coaches, and more. We spoke with Yaro about the art of delegating tasks, specifically EMAIL, and how that can help you pursue other growth opportunities within your business and free up your time to chase other ventures.

Yaro has made 30+ angel investments in tech startups including Steezy, LeadIQ, Fluent Forever, FitBod, and Nutrisense, has property investments in Canada and Ukraine, and in partnership built a 3.6MW solar farm.

During the mid-2000s Yaro sold his first company, BetterEdit.com, then built an online education company BlogMastermind.com, selling over $2 Million of his books and online courses.

Yaro has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, Foundr, Problogger, Social Media Marketing World, UpWork, and hundreds of media outlets and events.

EP36: Bold Ideas, Shattering Glass Ceilings and Shaping Our Future with Jody Turner

This week, we're heading over to Portland, Oregon to hang out with Jody Turner: Futurist, Speaker, Insight Researcher on a mission to share bold ideas to preserve our planet.

Jody talks with me about the trends she identified 20 years ago and why she's not surprised by where we are in time. We talk about her work that's guiding the evolution of major companies toward sustainability, meeting the future with pragmatism, kindness and looking ahead to 2050 with these two questions:

"What are the five things we are all experiencing on the planet that affect all of us? What are the ten things we can do to solve them together?"

Finding Your Call to Action with Alfa Demmellash

Welcome to episode 27 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. This week my incredible guest is Alfa Demmellash. Alfa is the the CEO and Co-founder of Rising Tide Capital and Future Tide Partners.

Rising Tide Capital is a non-profit, or as I say for impact organization, that provides underserved entrepreneurs with the resources they need to launch and grow successful businesses. Since 2005 the organization has operated the Community Business Academy. Please visit Rising Tide Capital | A non-profit organization for more information about the services they provide.

Alfa was born in Ethiopia. Upon wanting greater opportunities for her and her daughter, Alfa’s mom came to the U.S. where she worked as a waitress, went back to school for fashion design, and then was able to start a side business. While Alfa was still in Ethiopia she was getting a great education and surrounded by family, and her community which helped to keep her spirits lifted. After Alfa's mom was more settled she brought Alfa over to live with her in the U.S. At that point Alfa was almost a teenager. Listen to Alfa’s version of what she thought coming to America from Ethiopia was going to be like. Alfa's mom wanted her daughter to know that anything is possible. So, Alfa worked hard, graduated from Harvard, and became an entrepreneur just like her mom.

When we talked about leadership, Alfa shared that when we are calling for women’s leadership, we are not calling for masculine leadership being shared by a woman. There is something special about feminine leadership and it is needed and necessary throughout the world.

Alfa and her partner Alex saw that there is economic poverty in NJ being experienced amongst profound wealth. Their goal was to build bridges to change that multigenerational story. They wanted to disrupt cultural barriers and create economic opportunities and they are doing that through the incredible work at Rising Tide Capital. As she says they are helping people make their dreams as accessible as possible through entrepreneurship.

During COVID Rising Tide Capital graduated a class of 121 entrepreneurs from 40 cities and towns. There were some students who took their classes from hospital beds or behind the fryer at work. This was a very special class that graduated through an unprecedented time.

We talked a lot about racism, changes that need to be made, and the importance of having inter-sectional leadership.

A message we can all learn from - 100% of the shots you don't take, you don't make.

Alfa’s has appeared in leading media outlets including CNN, O the Oprah Magazine, Essence Magazine Bloomberg, Inc. Magazine, BusinessWeek and Entrepreneur Magazine to name a few. She has been recognized by President Barack Obama; received the prestigious 25th Heinz Award; was named a CNN Hero, and one of the Most Powerful Women Changing the World in Forbes. Here is the best part she is an incredible human who truly cares about people and making a difference in this world.

Have a fabulous week!
