I denne podcast kan I høre om Ibi, fra Fritidsklubben, som fortæller om en sommerferie på havet. Oplevelsen af at sejle ved Atlanterhavet og Middelhavet uden sin far og mor, hvordan man får en dag til at gå på en båd, og opleve høje bølger og vildfarne skibe. Alt dette og meget mere fortæller Ibi om på en inspirerende og fantastisk måde.

We have all experienced some challenging "stuff" in the past two years, we have probably had a little 'stuffing' knocked out of us, so... 
Are we ready to dust ourselves out? To build our own narrative?  To go in search of a new way of working? To look for opportunities and be ready when they appear? 

In our latest podcast we are diving into further into smart risk taking and unpacking what great decision making looks like, the decision making biases that could be sabotaging you and building your decision making muscle.

ELEVATE CHALLENGE:
Identify a decision you need to make in any aspect of your life that you want to feel a greater level of confidence around what that decision should be. 
Bring that with you to next week’s ep and bounce it off the decision making tools and techniques we’ll be covering to see if one or more of them resonate with you to help you with that decision.

Too often we do not recognise the opportunities available to us for what they are.  We hold back from speaking up, are too busy to take on that extra project, avoid what is uncomfortable, or maybe don't quite believe in ourselves.  There are so many conscious and unconscious biases out there that we really could be holding ourselves back from our own future success. 
This is the first in a series of 4 pods were we are going to dig into Smart Risk Taking.  

Hold onto your hats as things are about to get very real, very practical and very exciting as we reveal your risk profile, some seriously sticky biases & some handy tools and hacks to move you forward.  
Know thy self so you can be the best of yourself!  
We are so looking forward to sharing these pods with you!

ELEVATEE CHALLENGE: 
This week a chance to learn more about yourself with a short 10 question risk profile. 

https://formfaca.de/sm/mrvQZnYLq

With this new found awareness on your risk profile, you will understand what your natural setting is and in following weeks we will provide further insights into likely biases and hacks to getting the most out of yourself whether you are a risk mitigator or the ultimate risk taker.

SHOW NOTES: 
A couple of quotes for our topic today:

• Gail Kelly - Back yourself, even if you are not quite ready
• Susan Jeffers - Feel the Fear and do it anyway 
• W.E.B Dubois - There is no force equal to a women determined to rise

Episode 73 is LIVE! I can't wait for everyone to meet the beautiful Kali O'Campo, founder of Lymi Coffee - Love you, mean it.

Kali's story:

"My pursuit of fulfillment began back in college in 2009 when I realized how much I enjoyed GIVING and SHARING to make people feel a sense of great meaning in each moment.

My love for coffee had grown over the years and my entrepreneurial spirit had been contemplating how I was going to bring MEANING to people as a business.

Coffee is a universal language that brings people together, just like love. Whether it's enjoyed on a cold, snowy morning in a cabin on the mountains, or whether it's sipped during social hour with a good friend or new stranger."

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Please listen to learn more about Kali and her awesome coffee - it's totally a fav of BGP.

April and Kim, with guest Kellie Kauten of Artistic Organics - CBD Wellness discuss the truth about CBD Oil.   They talk about the laws, the health benefits, the different strains, and what to look out for.   I know you're curious!  Hope you give us a listen.

Kellie Kauten is the founder and CEO of Artistic Organics - CBD Wellness located in Frisco, TX.   Her journey began the way many do; she studied hard in college, received a degree, and went into a successful corporate career.   With that success in corporate America came the sacrifice of heath, personal life and hobbies.   It was after having children that she was able to take a step back and look at what she really wanted to do.   Through a volunteer opportunity, she helped develop a personalized EMF/biofield product with a medical office.  From there, other offices found out about her products and before long she was selling to functional medicine offices for several years. Shortly thereafter, as a result of her interests and the relationships she built with the doctors, she began to research CBD. 
 
Her focus was to find a way to help medical professionals better treat their patients and also her own issues.   It began with the willingness to conduct research in a new industry unfamiliar with most traditional and non-traditional doctors.  She has a very high standard for quality and researched the best products and growing methods for the medical offices. That quickly snowballed into recommending and developing customized products as well as teaching and training on what she had learned.  Her business grew to the point where she realized she needed a retail location.   Artistic Organics – CBD Wellness was the first CBD store in Frisco.  She now conducts monthly (free) classes to explain the industry and how people can understand this confusing new industry and help them find the right products. Due to their high standards, free consultations, and classes, they have been interviewed by CBS 11 news, Frisco Style magazine and multiple podcasts.  

Join April and Kim as they talk with CISO (Chief Information Security Officer), Patrick Benoit to discuss the importance of password protection, data protection, and so much more.   A true "for dummies" episode as Patrick makes the topic (and importance) of Cyber Security relatable to everyone.   

April & Kim recap the last year for the 50th episode.   Curious about the topics covered and quests who have been on the show - this episode is for you.
