92. Innovation Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

"Innovation is taking two things that exist and putting them together in a new way."

-Tom Freston, Co-founder of MTV

Innovation (definition, Google): is the creation, development and implementation of a new product, process or service, with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness or competitive advantage.

The facts: if you are not actively working to grown, learn, and innovated, you will become antiquated (aka extinct).

2020 provided a shake up for everyone and there were some very serious losses AND some very serious gains. While we all hope to get back to "normal" soon, every one of us will likely carry over something into our soon to be fully free world that we learned to do better (or innovate) during lock down. When push comes to shove, we somehow figure it out. I am excited to welcome Mike Ham, Founder of The Morning Spotlight Podcast as well as the coolest guy in title insurance, to the Turmeric & Tequila mic! You might think- how do podcasting and title insurance go together, let alone benefit one another? We unpack the unlikely paring and how Mike leaned into his own innovative ideas to merge his worlds and now reap the benefits. This is an awesome cast for anyone living a Turmeric & Tequila life and wondering how to make it all fit together… IT IS POSSIBLE. Sometimes we just need a little motivation to broaden the perspective and shift the way we think. If it's authentic there is a way to make it work and the world around you will be oh-so appreciative that you did! Cheers… add the turmeric to your tequila right now:)

Highlights:

Questioning a better way. Innovation. Innovative ideas for all. Changing your perspective for the better. Trail blazing. Trial and error. Turmeric and Tequila. Breakdown and breakthrough. Finding your voice and embracing it. Reality is nothing more than applied meaning, create that meaning and make it a reality.

91. My Morning Routine 2021 Apr 06, 2021

-Michael Jackson (Man In The Mirror)

GOOD MORNING:) Today is a quick, straight forward, solo podcast- just me sharing my morning routine 2021 with you!

90. Overcoming Toxic Emotions Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

"It is not a person or situation that affects your life; it is the meaning you give to that person or situation, which influences your emotions and actions. Your choice is to change the meaning you gave it or to change your response, in order to create the outcome you want."

-SHANNON L. ALDER

Episode 90- can you believe it?! Me either, we are out here:) On that note, I am excited to welcome author, speaker, and no BS spiritual healer, Leah Guy, to the T&T mic! Today we discuss her latest book, Overcoming Toxic Emotions. We have had a lot of conversations around emotions, self-love, and healing in general, but this one goes a step in a different direction taking a new perceptive on toxicity- we even discuss toxic positivity… I didn't know there was such a thing, and now I do. We are truly the masters of our own minds that leads all else. We know it's a daily practice and Leah provides insight and steps into letting go of toxic emotions. Leah invites you to "break up with blame and create happier, healthier relationships- replace negative self-talk with self-love, forgiveness, compassion, and joy!". Everyone deserves to feel loved and valued! Enjoy this one, cheers! Highlights: Value, self-talk, control, mindset. Healing, thoughts, energy, simple things. Questioning a better way. Depression. Relief and release. Trauma and forgiveness. A new day a new mindset, happiness.

Leah is an author, intuitive healer and inspirational speaker. She uses her personal triumphs along with more than two decades experience to help people make positive and lasting change in their lives.

A sought-after inspirational speaker , Leah has appeared on top media outlets as an expert on the mind-body connection, energy medicine, emotional healing, intuitive readings as well as inspiring people how to live their best life.

Experience:

Like many of you, I've had my share of obstacles to overcome; addictions, rape, anxiety, eating disorders....The work that I teach has not only given me my life back, but helped me achieve some of my wildest dreams and soar.

Some of the things I'm proud of in my journey are maintaining a private practice for 25 years and teaching workshops and retreats for 12 of those years. I'm the author of three books, and have been able to appear on many shows and interview some of my favorite celebrities just like I dreamed about as a child. I believe in dreams, and when we become clear in who we are and empowered with that truth, anything is possible. That fact is what inspires me to get out of bed each morning.

89. PodFest Fam Reunion 2021 Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members."

-Coretta Scott King

It's been 1 YEAR since we all met at PodFest 2020 and oh, what a year it has been (T&T Ep. 34)! I am so excited to welcome back Sara McInerney Hauck (Facing Fear podcast), Melissa Goodwin (Girl Gotta Hike podcast), and Vivana Soto (Life Whispers podcast) to the #TurmericAndTequila mic! Little did we know at this time last year we were at the last in person event we'd all be at for a very long time. We were all new to the podcast scene and really didn't know what to expect for the weekend at PodFest aka welcoming American Idol's William Hung to the T&T mic, ha. Additionally, and also unknowingly, we were officially uniting as a podcast family, meeting many of the people we would keep in touch with and lean on for all things podcasting in the coming year (and beyond). We met fellow casters, podcast biz owners, niche topic/passion enthusiasts, audio engineers (shout out to resident T&T audio master, Theon Walls), and so many other varsity podcast community members. I hope to one day say (and it's confirmed), it was the initial gathering of the future podcast gods- under one mission, so help us Joe Rogan. Until then, we shall remain humble in this podcast jungle and enjoy the crap out of the journey! Sara, Melissa, Vivana, and myself, catch up on our podcast successes, failures, and funnies over this past year. We share what we have learned, pro tips, and the joy that casting AND the community has brought to our lives. If you're jumping into podcasting, are a long-time podcaster, or just a lover of passionate humans, this cast is for you. We don't know where the casting trails leads, but we know one thing- we have each other… and some tequila:). Cheers to many more #PodFam reunion shows to come!

I did have the incredible opportunity to be a speaker at Podfest 2021 (just a few weeks ago), check out my presentation on GRACEFUL DISRUPTION. Can't wait to be in person with everyone again soon!

Highlights:

Community. Questioning a better way. Passion, entrepreneurs, and dream chasers. Family, team, and the importance of a support system. Passion highs, lows, and burnouts. Fear, hiking, whispers, and tequila… what else could you possibly need?

Facing Fear, Sara McInerney

Facing Fear features individuals who approach fear in the pursuit of living unapologetically authentic lives and defining success on their own terms. Together with the interviewees and host (Sara McInerney Hauck), we are here to bring you raw storytelling and realistic tools to help conquer fear and surpass your goals. @facingfearwithsara

Life Whispers, Viviana Soto

Life Whisper's founder and podcast host, started hosting when she was in college. Her show Bayoya won numerous awards at Emerson's WECB station and captured audiences from countries like Venezuela, Puerto Rico and even South Africa. Now, she's back with different topics to share! @life.whispers

87. Trial, Error, Balance Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

"Failure is essential. Trial and error is necessary."

-David Bergen

I am excited to welcome Kristin Jekielek to the T&T mic! Kristin embodies graceful disruption as she shares her journey going from astrophysics degree to entrepreneur when she realized that "people like her" could also break free and do things their own way. Kristin shares that the jump from the corporate world wasn't entirely her own as her health took a turn and she was unbale to work. Thankfully, she had a few side hustles going on that eventually led to a full-time situation… universe speaks! Even being very dialed in with her health, crossfit, diet , etc., Kristin had to take matters further into her own hands and change the path personally and professionally. This is a great conversation for anyone wondering why they seek change or a better way when they did "all the right things". Trial, error, and all the juicy failure just might be the arrows pointing you in the right direction to not only professional success, but also true self enlightenment #notforsale. After all, everything is connected- so if the inside is off, so is the outside. Worry not, you can always change your perspective and actions and get back on the path you were always meant to be on. Thanks for an awesome convo, Kristin, keeping crushing and disrupting as you do #cardio!

Highlights:

Questioning a better way. Breakdown, breakthrough. Perspective and doing less. Inner peace = outer success. Health is wealth. Entrepreneurship. Breaking up with the corporate world. Awareness. Self-love. Chasing the dream. Mindset.

Kristin Jekielek:

Kristin Jekielek believes your business needs to create more video. After graduating college with an honors degree in astrophysics, Kristin worked as a software consultant for a Fortune 50 company delivering innovative software technologies. After seeing the power and value of video marketing for her own side hustles, Kristin launched Value Video Marketing to help companies cross "weekly video" off their to do list.

How is marketing consulting going for you these days?

86. Perfection Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it."

-Salvador Dali

Oh, how I love a conversation around balance… obvi, Turmeric & Tequila:) Today I welcome Shelley Goldstein to the mic and she jumps right in sharing her journey as a true creative battling the idea of perfection. Anyone that creates knows that it comes from a place within, where there is nothing to compare because there is nothing else like it. If that makes sense? However, we are all humans of today's world, so we find things to compare, even when creatively is incomparable. Human behavior. Comparison is the thief of joy, as we know, AND it's a constant awareness to pull back and let go of any idea of perfection, aka stop comparing. Shelley shares her experience as a true perfectionist and how it got her to the top of her game, only for her to pull back and lean into full self-acceptance. From the top of the costume industry on Broadway to digital marketing strategist mastery, the real end game was letting go of perfection so true joy could ensue and the real riches of life could fully be experienced. If you are competitive, an entrepreneur, a parent/coach, or anyone looking to start something- this cast is for you. Yes, we want to do all we can to be our best AND we need to embrace the imperfect path that gets us there. Remind me of this… :) Highlights: Questioning a better way. Perfection. Letting go. Letting go of perfection. Balance, awareness, and becoming a better you. People care less that you do, relax. The button doesn't matter. Greatness vs. perfection. Success in failure. Listening and not listening. Mindset and flexibility. Letting it happen. Life skills through sports. Shelley Goldstein

I'm Shelley, nice to meet you! I am a marketer, blogger, quintessential tourist and profoundly curious.

My marketing journey was a happy accident. I was busy following my dream as a costume designer, cutting my teeth on Broadway shows like La Cage Aux Folles, 42nd Street and national tours for Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus. A well-defined identity, combined with technical chops, was the best education in becoming a marketer with an out-of-the-box perspective and start-up mindset.

As a digital marketer and strategist for over 15 years, I've helped develop a range of brands and websites for products, services and events. I'm savvy using traditional and non-traditional marketing tactics across paid, earned and owned media, and experienced in both B2B and B2C transactions. I can also ride an elephant and craft some serious millinery.

Maybe that's reason friends and family encouraged me to write. My unique viewpoint on marketing best practices intertwined with personal discoveries and anecdotes is, as they tell me, amusing and relatable. I also use a lot of commas, suggesting a brief pause.

I welcome you to read and take pause, and share your comments with me. shelley@bigideacompany.tv.

85. Graceful Disruption Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

I was PUMPED to be an OFFICIAL SPEAKER at The Podfest Global Summit 2021! I spoke about GRACEFUL DISRUTION, what it is, why it's important, and how I came to know this. I display my process through the lens of my fitness and business journeys thus far. Some success and lots of failure… or so I thought, I had to personally gracefully disrupt my own perception on what the past really was and how much it really prepared me for my future. All the clichés on this one, but as I always say, if any part of sharing my journey streamlines lessons in yours, it's all worth it:). Reality is nothing more than applied meaning, as we say on T&T. Define your own meaning, dare greatly, disrupt gracefully. Enjoy.

PodFest Global Summit:

Simply stated, Podfest Global Summit is an extension of Podfest Multimedia Expo, one of the longest running and tightest-knit communities of podcasters in the world! Podfest Expo is a community of people who are interested in and passionate about sharing their voice and message with the world through the powerful mediums of audio and video. We're proud to unite as many people as possible to learn, get inspired, and grow better together. On top of the quality content and camaraderie PODFEST has become famous for over the years, we are also attempting the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for Largest Attendance for a Virtual Podcasting Conference!

Highlights:

Questioning a better way. OG philosophy. The why the how, and where are we now. Plan to fail, thus you'll succeed. Define your own meaning and disrupt your own reality. Leading by example and being a conscious consumer. Influence, inspiration, and social media. Bettering yourself to better those around you.

84. Free You Mind (And Body) Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

"Imagination is the highest form of research."

-Albert Einstein

Reality is nothing more than applied meaning. We say this A LOT on T&T, it's at the core of our WHY, after all. In a world that is telling you how to be, live, think, and exist… we are writing you a note and excusing you for the day! This is an awesome conversation with Jeff Venn, entrepreneur, father, dreamer, doer, and former pro surfer, about dialing into self and making major pivots in life to be as useful to this world as you can be. Questioning a better way is Jeff's cardio. We unpack Jeff's journey from a strictly religious childhood, to finding freedom in surfing, to eventually changing his direction in life completely once he figured out his core values and decided to chase what was real to him. Jeff is an open book sharing his entrepreneurial pursuits, physical and mental wellness, parental pro tips, and even expanding the mind and his creatively with psychedelics! Yes, you can be all things. See you at Burning Man soon Jeff:), thank you for the time and energy… and expanding the horizon for us all!

Highlights: Questioning a better way. Leaving behind the prescribed you and embracing the real you. Letting go of what you should do. Mental and physical wellness. Corporate world to entrepreneurial world. Questioning marriage, monogyny, and psychedelics. The importance of mentorship and leading by example. Life skills through sports. Burning Man. Jeff Venn:

I'm Jeff Venn, a life architect, business owner, and mentor to young entrepreneurs.

Many people will tell you where to go, what to do, and how to live, but there's a higher path and calling inside of you that only you can unearth.

It's time to stop living by other people's scripts and expectations for your life and have your own awakening.

I've done this in my own life, taking a forward-thinking, progressive approach to building and running my businesses and how I build and run my days.

Sure, I've accomplished a few things on the outside:

Founder ofCreate Studios, a digital marketing agency
Founder ofc o n v e r g e, a community for young entrepreneurs
Former Semi-Pro Surfer
Professional Musician
Fluent in Spanish

But I'm most proud of my successes on the inside. I've escaped the rat race. I'm rich in the things that matter most to me – control over my time, a fulfilling work-life balance, and the opportunity to inspire young entrepreneurs to dream bigger than they ever thought possible.

Life is a giant wheel of progress, improvement, and learning.

Now, let's get moving.

83. Not Dwelling In The Shit Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

"My barn having burned down, I can now see the moon."

― Mizuta Masahide (17th century Japanese poet and samurai)

The unexpected conversations are my favorite ones… it just feels like it was supposed to happen, so something larger made it happen:) I am very excited to welcome Tiffany Barnes to the T&T mic, this beautiful unplanned convo will have you rethinking your thinking on life and your reaction to the "shit". Tiffany has deep ethos as someone who has mastered overcoming. Tiffany is an abuse survivor, emancipated at 15, working 3 jobs to take care of herself, she still managed to graduate at the top of her class. Her triumphs did stop there. Tiffany is an author, entrepreneur, and founder of an advocacy group, S.H.A.R.E, Sharing Hope for the Abused through Resilience and Empowerment, that has grown into a full 503C nonprofit! She is passionate about real estate and helping others share their truth on her podcast, Speak Loud. Tiffany shares her inspiring journey and great words on using the past to help build the future. Take notes and let your perspective shift for the positive. If Tiffany doesn't have an excuse to dwell in the shit, neither do we! Thank you, Tiffany, you are truly resilient and powerful, I can't wait to see what is next for you!

Highlights:

Resilience. Overcoming. How to not dwell in the shit. Letting go and moving forward. Acknowledging the ups and downs, knowing it's a process. Breakdown, breakthrough. Self-love and seeking acceptance. Questioning a better way. Sharing your light and being the light for others.

Tiffany Barnes:

Tiffany Barnes is familiar with overcoming hardships.

After enduring physical, mental, and sexual abuse, Tiffany was emancipated at the age of 15. At the time, she was only the 2nd case in the state of Utah for a child of that age to become legally emancipated. While working three jobs to support herself through high school, Tiffany became a Sterling Scholar, graduating top of her class, an athlete, and founder of S.H.A.R.E, an advocacy group for students; by students who had experienced abuse.

What began as a small group of students supporting each other, S.H.A.R.E has since grown and evolved into a 503C national foundation that stands for Sharing Hope for the Abused through Resilience and Empowerment.

As a torch bearer for the 2002 Olympics, Tiffany has always been determined to shine light in dark places. Helping others to "light their flame within". While most might have used their unfortunate past as a crutch, Tiffany has chosen instead to use it as a stepping-stone toward a better future. As a realtor and real estate investor, Tiffany prides herself in exceeding expectations for her clients. She also loves coaching people on how to set up successful Airbnb's to build long term wealth.

Tiffany is now following her passion of helping others to overcome through her work as the founder of S.H.A.R.E as well as a Keynote Speaker across the nation.

Her first book "The Throw Away Girl", an inspiring autobiography, is soon to be released.

Tiffany has made it her mission to help others create real change, one person at a time. Her motto is "It's the START that STOPS you." Through her message, Tiffany helps others to begin their journey of resilience and empowerment from adverse circumstances one step at a time!
