I sit down with Aaron AC Capers "That Drummer Guy" from the pop-punk band Further North. We talk about what's next for FN and dive deep into the AC musical catalog (this dude is in every good band in DFW). He even discusses his former band Boxers Brain and why he wants a reunion.  This episode will always hold a place in my heart as a personal favorite. #PICKITUPDALLAS

Regardless of who you are, we at WonderTour believe that you are a leader.  Whether you run your own business, lead a team of problem solvers, serve as mother or father to a family, or are just growing up with big aspirations of making an impact in the world.  One of the reasons we need everyone to be leaders is because change is inevitable and good leadership is required to navigate the waters of uncertainty and come out better on the other side.  

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Skellington attempts to instigate a monumental shift in his culture from celebrating Halloween to celebrating Christmas, but its Sally, not Jack, who humbly navigates the murky water of change.  Sally embodies a true servant leader as she simultaneously supports Jack and the celebration of Christmas, while trying to steer the team towards a growth mindset that acknowledges that don't actually know much about Christmas.  How might we learn from Sally how to navigate change in our lives and businesses?

El éxito, sea lo que sea lo que consideremos como éxito: una pareja, un trabajo, un sueño, esta muy ligado a nuestro amor propio y vivimos en un mundo que atenta contra nuestra autoestima. Un mundo en el que la estética que vemos en las redes sociales, internet, revistas, etc., son en su mayoría cuerpos "perfectos" que no reflejan nuestra realidad y van dañando nuestra percepción del amor y del éxito. Así cuestionamos nuestra imagen personal, atentamos con nuestra salud y enfrentar temas de autoestima por alcanzar esos modelos "perfectos". Pau y Val se sientan a platicar con Ana Carbajal, psicóloga, escritora y modelo mexicana de talla  grande reconocida internacionalmente para justamente hablar de cómo el éxito, y el amor, no se define por la talla de nuestra ropa. 

Sobre Ana Carbajal: Es Psicóloga, escritora y modelo Internacional mexicana, ha trabajado entre Europa, Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica. Debuto en NewYorkFashionWeek ha estado en portadas y páginas de las revistas más prestigiosas de México: Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar, Women Health, Glamour, y Grazia y ha sido imagen de marcas tanto en Mexico como en el extranjero de Levi´s, Sally, Urban Decay USA, Adidas en Reino Unido, entre otras. 

Su primera conferencia fue una Ted Talk  llamada “equidad de cuerpos”. En enero de este año publico su primer libro titulado “El amor que nos robaron” En el cual narra sus experiencias y aprendizajes antes y después de entrar a la industria del modelaje.

Para Ana lo más importante en su carrera es lo que su imagen representa, el posicionar a mujeres de talla grande en lugar donde jamás habían estado cambiando estereotipos de belleza y ayudando en la creación de una sociedad más inclusiva y sana para las siguientes generaciones.

“Nos han ocultado por años, como si hubiera algo terriblemente malo en nosotras, causando un gran daño en nuestro sistema de creencias y amor propio, lo más importante para mí, es que mi trabajo sirva para inspirar a otras mujeres a levantar su voz, reconocer su valor y permitirse ser feliz hoy.”

What's This? What's This?  We're heading to Disney World for a very special Christmas episode!   We love mixing the Holidays with all things spooky and no better movie to cover on our journey than Tim Burton's ( actually Henry Selicks) The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Maybe we'll find Jack and Sandy Claws roaming the Magic Kingdom!

This week we were so blessed to spend time chatting with author, speaker, blogger, podcaster, and spiritual mother to many- Sally Clarkson.

Her new book “Help I’m Drowning: Weathering the Storms of Life with Grace and Hope” couldn’t be available at a more critical time in our world today. With the intense political atmosphere, pandemic woes, overseas crisis, new school year and fall activities kicking into gear, Sally’s book so beautifully speaks into the hearts of many.

This world is broken and fallen, yet there is an untouchable hope, a hope beyond measure and His name is Jesus Christ. In this book Sally shares many of her own experiences of suffering and brokenness during her many years of walking with Christ.

We hope this discussion can give you just a small taste into the beautiful woman that Sally is and a preview of her powerful book. Below you can find a link to her amazing book!

“In this world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world!”
~John 16:33.

It's 2020 and Hurricane Sally is about to hit Florida and Alabama, with devastating consequences. After breaking her arm and losing her job, there was more to come in Julie's life changing week, as hurricane Sally made landfall and flood water took everything, literally overnight. Julie's rise from the ashes, and  the work she is doing to help other women in need, is one of strength and hope for all of us!

In the UK the recent Budget had several measures that will help us in the SA sector, and combining this with our Roadmap out of COVID-19 lock down, there’ll be an increase in guests wishing to stay and for numerous reasons… here’s a summary of my thoughts and practical aspects of these two major events announced by the UK Government.

How are you getting on with your new 2021 goals?  Here are specific ways to keep on track and manage both your key actions this year as well as your mindset.

And to share how this still works even if you’re going through a difficult time – unfortunately we’ve had the most traumatic week because a serious car accident has left my eldest grown up child Skye (still your kids even when they’re 21 years old aren’t they?!) with a fractured pelvis and a long recovery expected after surgery this past week.

Obviously, this is distressing and more important than anything else in my life right now, family comes first.  Miraculous that Skye is still with us, and we’re so grateful for this. 

However, because we have systems in place, our SA units are still fully operational, and expansion plans still in place.  This is not to boast, but to share this with you – if you’re struggling or want a better way forwards too, this will help you.

Yes, I’m delayed getting this podcast out, but our actual business and goals are still all fully working and in place.  The methods I share are going to help you through lock down and through life to keep moving towards your vision and what is most meaningful to you.

Our deepest gratitude to everyone for all the support we have had, and the amazing NHS for their awesome skill and support too.

I hope you’re weathering the storm of second lock down and the tier system in the UK, and anywhere in the world!

If you’ve felt frustrated by the limitations government restrictions have placed on your SA business, know that you are not alone, and now is the time for you to step up and take positive action.  Make the difference to your SA business by helping your guests, your community and your wider audience of potential guests – create and evoke their experience staying with you.  Realise that you can help people this year, next year and into the future.  You can be empowered.  Go for it!!

Sometimes managing your bookings can be a challenge.  You either have none, or lots come along at once.

Here are some tips on things to do, and what not to do.

With increasing financial pressure caused by the impact of COVID-19, there can be increased pressure to bend your rules or not follow your policies in order to secure bookings.

Here I share a few tips to help you through this rocky period in our history.

It was my absolute good fortune and privilege to interview one of the leading speakers in the Short Stay Rental sector, Chris Maughan recently, which is full of practical knowledge and insights that you can apply to your SA business right away!

You may know of Chris as CEO of I-PRAC, which is key to building trust with your potential guests, but did you know he has 20 years’ experience in the industry as CEO and co-founder of AES Accommodation Ltd and AES Events Group?

Providing events for commercial clients such as Twitter, Google, Spotify and Disney including beautiful places to stay along the French Riviera, has meant that Chris and his wife, also his business partner, have been through their share of challenges.

The way that Chris has managed not just his business, but also his mindset, is incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking.

You can benefit from his reading and podcast lists, which he has generously given to me, especially in the face of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Chris shares how, despite harsh life lessons, you can find ways to overcome traumas to become fulfilled.  A treat for us all.

Lots of SA operators have asked for more guidance on how to outsource, and where to find a VA or more varied types of contract workers to complete the many tasks that you want to delegate to someone else.

These may be either things you don’t like doing, don’t have time for, or simply to manage the overwhelming amount of daily tasks that have kept you in a new ‘job’, something you were trying to avoid when you started your SA business!  Here are 3 key tips about how to successfully outsource these different types of work.

You can enjoy the great mutual benefits of working directly with developers of apartment blocks.  In our rent to SA business the developers retained the freehold of their blocks, and this creates numerous advantages on all sides.  Here I talk about how finances, logistics and guests all receive the positive impact when you work with developers, and how you find them in the first place.

It’s a real win:win!
