Operation Clusterpuck with Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss
If you have ever worked in an office you need to read these books and listen to this episode.
Operation Clusterpuck tells the funny, cynical but heartfelt story of Business Solutions, Inc. (BSI) — a U.S. corporation whose leaders have set in motion a series of disastrous projects that threaten to take the company down. BSI’s ragtag communications team once again gets pressed into action, juggling around-the-clock workloads, battling ruthless execs, and struggling to find meaning in their lives outside of work.
“We wanted to tell the story of those unsung corporate heroes — the ones who are barely keeping their heads above water, but still do the right thing for their work ‘family,’ even when it’s not easy,” says coauthor Jennifer Rock.
“Readers often tell us they recognize themselves and their co-workers in our novels,” adds coauthor Michael Voss. “We’re thrilled to reflect their work lives and experiences. Even if our stories might feel like a fun-house mirror.”

Changing your mindset with Christopher Salem
Wonder Women of Wine and Champagne with Rob Statham
• Claudia Harris – first female Master Sommelier, passed exam in 1984. This is no easy feat as it is perhaps the most rigorous service exam to pass in the world. Heavy emphasis was placed on this in the 2012 movie Somms. The Court of Master Sommeliers sadly has been plagued in a cheating scandal since October of 2018.
• Sarah Morphew Stephen (British) became the first female Master of Wine, the highest trade designation for wine studies in the world, and by far, the most difficult came about in 1970 with the successful competition of this very rigorous program. When she succeeded in passing the exam she received a 25-minute lecture from Michael Broadbent, the chairman of the Institute of the Masters Of Wine at the time. This set the course for a number of very successful female masters of wine in today’s modern age. Out of the 369 MWs, 131 are female, some of the most prominent being:
• Jancis Robinson – world class wine critic, writes a weekly column for the Financial Times, provides advice for the wine cellar of Queen Elizabeth II, part of the Order of the British Empire and known for her works on the World Atlas of Wine.
• Debra Meiburg – known for her ground-breaking work on Georgian wines, award winning multimedia wine journalist, wine educator, wine judge and first recipient of the MW title in Asia
• Jeannie Cho Lee - award winning author, TV host, first ethnically Asian Master of Wine, based out of Hong Kong. Also a Master Sake Sommelier.
• Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan – Highly influential in the world of wine with countless media appearances – New York Times, NBC, Wine Library TV. She is also the author of several books and currently runs a business called MasterWineOnline.com, which helps students enrolled in internationally recognized certification bodies to succeed with their studies, right up to the Master of Wine Level. Jennifer is perhaps the most down to earth and engaging personality that I have met at this level. She is a huge asset to the wine world.

Discovering yourself with Sara Troy
About Sara:
I am Sara Troy “Self Discovery Media” (formally known as Self Discovery Radio) owner-operator-/host and I believe in knowingness, that feeling you get when you let the divine intellect speak to your gut and enter its all-knowing knowledge, it then resonates with your heart in truth and passion, on to the spirit to get into action, and draws from the mind what it needs to know at the time it needs to know it. That is my knowingness and the state of being I choose to live in.

Purposeful Conversation through FamTyme with Purvi-Sonia Davé
She is the founder and creator of an application called FamTyme it is an app that helps children become more self-aware of their emotions and provide awareness to parents through reports and articles to help their child navigate effectively through any emotional challenges. She really is such a dynamic and creative person and through this process finding that there is a huge need to help parents and children better communicate through discovering the root emotions that they are dealing with. We talk about life and experiences and how we communicate win a very human level and I really am glad that Purvi agreed to come on the show.
From personal experience I can say that my parents and I have good communication now but it wasn't until I was in my mid to late 20's that this really happened so the idea of helping that process happen even sooner really interested me.

Navigating YouMap with Stephanie Hall
Today on the show I invited Stephanie Hall back on the show and we talk more in depth about YouMap and I was the subject of the study.
A Little more on Stephanie...
She helps people figure out what they want to be when they grow up and that is something that I think is really needed with the career landscape shifting.
With graduation fast approaching, I remember thinking one thing: what on earth do I want to do with my life now?
After personally going through the struggle of lacking a career direction and having no clarity in my professional identity, I finally found my calling after going through the YouMap Career Discovery process.

Pivoting and Persevering
Sam Wise's speech to Frodo in the two towers that I referenced.
Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.
Sam : I know.
It's all wrong
By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.
It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Anything I can do you can do better!
See what I did there? So basically what I am saying is if I can do it so can you. Go out there and stop saying "I'd like to do someday." and say...
"I am working on doing right now and should have it available for the world to see in 6 months"
Set a goal. Set a deadline. Set a schedule of at least 15-20 minutes a day. Then execute that plan and accomplish your goal.
You can do more than 20 minutes but those times are easily found through out the day.
