Social Strategy Podcast: The Best in Business, Wealth and Mindset Unknown

As I mentioned in the podcast here are the resources below if you want to check out podcast hosting I recommend the two below.
 
Podcast Hosting
Blubrry - If you've had the opportunity to go to any of the podcasting conferences you've probably seen their booth. A great company that I'm helping with some enterprise clients. Great hosting that encourages you to own your RSS feed and gives you a free Wordpress site along with IAB certified stats, vital if you're working with sponsors.
Podbean - Another great hosting service that Patrice host her podcast on so it's always a top contender for affordability and dependable service.

This is the Friday update test podcast for deciding whether not I’m gonna do weekly Friday update

Millennials have a reputation for being entitled, lazy and the worse generation is the last fifty years.  However, my next guest Whitney Hanson shatters that myth in the first 5 minutes of the podcast.  She singlehandedly paid off more than $30,000 in debt in 10 months, bought her first house when she was 19 and paid a whopping $472 for her MBA! 
Curious?  Hit that play button 
As you listen to this interview pay attention to the theme throughout that points to executing on the things you want with very deliberate actions.  Whitney gives some of the best advice I've heard in a long that that connects with younger people.  She doesn't sugar coat the struggle but breaks down how anyone that wants can overcome their situation with a great work ethic.
We cover the art of side hustling and it's growing popularity as a legitimate way to earn extra money and to actually earn a living.  If you're curious about dropshipping or retail arbitrage jump to minute 24 to get the scoop on how to get started.  Not only does she talk about what dropshipping is she give a step by step strategy to how to use instagram to build your business.  Listen twice!

As an author As, to hear those words about work I've produced and the story I told in Master Your Message was extremely powerful.

Lauryn Williams is one of five athletes to have won a medal in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games, as well as the first American woman with this achievement. Lauryn holds one Gold and Two Silver Medals from the 2004,2012, and 2014 Olympics Games.  One of the reasons I wanted to have Lauryn on the show was to launch into Black History Month with a Millenial who's made a positive impact on African-American culture.
Outside of sports Lauryn has mastered the game of finance by obtaining her CFP.  She now teaches other Millenials and Professional Athletes about personals finance and building wealth for the future. 
Not only are her achievements great in their own right she's in a unique position to have solidified a place in Olympic history for all time.   As a people, we're proud of Lauryn and of course, she's represented our Nation and brought back Gold and Silver.  Share this episode with your daughters and sons so they can see what's possible with hard work and that Black History Month isn't just a once a year tradition that happens in February.   Look to these 2108 Olympic Games and whatever your culture, celebrate the athletes you identify with but then let us all (at least my US friends) celebrate as Americans.

As you know I'm always working to bring new sponsors to the show that will provide value and help your business.  That's why in October whilst attending Fincon (Financial Bloggers Conference) I met up with the people from Media.net to talk about how they could help me and my audience.
So here's the great thing about Media.net, the support it truly over the top.  I've dealt with ad networks before that would provide contextual ads or ad blocks that either was very intrusive or took too much work to get the ads to be relevant for my visitors, and not just a cookied ad that followed them around. 
Admittedly I was reluctant to introduce an ad block or any sort of ad to my site until looking at some of the people Media.net was working within the blogging world.  Once I saw blogs and the people I respect were Media.net Ambassadors I was in!
So all I'm asking of you as a visitor to the site and as a listener of the podcast is that you check them out via my link and give a few of the ads a try.  Just click on the link to go to my custom page https://media.net/vernon

It's all Noah Kagen's fault, that's right!  If not for AppSumo I would have never discovered Book Like a Boss.  I picked it up on a Sumo Deal => Check them here, but then did nothing with it for months.  I was just to busy to be bothered at the time, but over the holiday season, one of my goals was to review everything I had purchased from a tools perspective and then either use it in my business or get rid of it.  After spending about 1 hour playing around I had a full booking page linked to my Skype account and ready to roll.  Here's the page: Vernon's Book Like A Boss Page
Great page and I have a special link I can send to my podcast guest to schedule and it all goes on my calendar and it's a one time charge!  Not only is it more affordable I've already had conversations with the CEO and love they are working on innovation with the platform and it's already pretty slick.  You can grab it now on a special Lifetime Deal with this link, Get the Deal I would love to know what you think of the page and if you think it would be useful.  Don't worry if you're not interested in buying it but want to try it out first just click the view all our plans link on the page and sign-up for free.

Did you know that 85% of your money mindset starts at about the age of 3 years old?  That my friends was a real shock to me and changed the entire direction of this amazing conversation.  My guest Kine´Corder is a business and wealth mindset coach and as you know the format of the podcast has changed to focus of course on business but to also address the aspects of how success happens.  Wealth and mindset are key points to consider when building your business and your lifestyle.
Kine´is the first certified hypnotherapist I've had as a guest and I'm sure you will find her approach interesting.  One of part of the conversation I found enlightening, we touched on was the generational wealth and how it was a part of her family structure which led to us talking about my favorite subject hustle, but to hear that story you have to listen to the episode

He's been a concert cellist, award-winning composer, high school founder which he co-founded at the ripe old age of 17 with a few friends and later became an educator there.  He's a publisher, entrepreneur, marketer, public speaker, and event master of ceremonies.  John's writing spans over two dozen books, including seven New York Times and national bestsellers and has been published in thirty languages. 
We covered so much ground in this interview about an aspect of the writing process that any budding writer should take note of.   Not only did we talk about the process one of the techniques John talked about was a three-step system he outlined the following:
Preparation
Inspiration
Perspiration
