May 12, 2020

Lisa Flores knows something about building long-term relationships, creating powerful memories with food and environment, and making people feel included, welcome, and special. She is the Sales and Marketing Manager for the Columbus Hospitality Group in Boston, which owns and operates seven dining establishments. While the menus and designs of the various spaces might be quite different, what doesn’t waver is the intentional building of warm, welcome spaces and delectable meals, created with the diners in mind. “While it may appear we are serving meals, what we’re really doing is creating memories,” Lisa explains. Whether it’s a dinner for two or an intimate wedding for 60, Flores and her team strive to create an all-encompassing experience – as close to perfect as possible – in keeping with the spirit and

Mardi Gras is Significantly More than just a Party: with Princess of Zulu Province Prince Krewe and Sr. Event Planner, Racquel Turbinton-Bruno

May 5, 2020

We all know that Mardi Gras in New Orleans looks like a huge party; some of you may have even experienced it in person. But were you aware that there’s a whole lot more going on behind the scenes, in the community, and what you might not know could astound you?! Yes, there are parties. Yes, there are parades. Yes, it can get a little crazy. But it’s so much more than you would imagine and the work for some of the Krewe’s goes year-round. Each Krewe has a purpose, a history, and a process for naming each year’s parade royalty. And that’s just the beginning. Royalty comes with a lot of responsibility, requiring an additional “crew” of helpers. There are events to attend, funds to be raised, themes and

Changing How We do Business by Focusing on Collaboration and Creativity with Social Entrepreneur, Inventor, and Author, Joel Hodroff

April 28, 2020

His first visit as a guest discussing ‘how to scale the new shared economy’ was so well received, Laura welcomes Joel Hodroff back. In this episode, they expand their conversation to dig into what collaboration and creativity as a foundational principle in business could mean for our economy. Joel explains how even though millions of people lost their jobs in the 2008 downturn – and there will likely be similar statistics associated with our current situation with COVID-19 related effects – we didn’t actually lose our creativity, skill, expertise, or wealth. It all doesn’t just disappear when the economy takes a nose-dive. It’s a matter of how we frame it, think about it, and live into it. With that in mind, he poses the question: What if competition was about

Drowning in Anxiety? Receive Healing from Heather with Anxiety Specialist, Heather Rider

April 21, 2020

What happens when everything in your life is running at warp speed for extended periods of time? Things begin to come apart. That’s what happened in Heather Rider’s life. Living in Austin, Texas, Heather worked in High Tech, and felt as if she needed to be always “on.” Her marriage broke down and she went through a divorce. Her daughters were 2 and 5, at the time, and now she was a single mom. She developed an Autoimmune reaction and that was her wake-up call. Rather than taking antibiotics and hoping they would heal her, Heather started to research what else was available. She wanted a natural approach to healing, making diet changes, introducing supplements thoughtfully, and taking a chance on seeing an “energy healer.” Her experience was amazing, as

What’s in Your Self-Care Savings Account with Positive Psychology Coach, Kelley Russell-DuVarney

April 14, 2020

When anxiety creeps in – and even on peaceful days – self-care is crucial. Listen in as Kelley and Laura engage in a heartfelt talk about this basic need we all have. What is self-care? At its most basic, it’s things like nutrition, hydration, good rest, medical and dental care. At a higher level, it’s taking time daily to notice how you are actually feeling and attending to those feelings, as appropriate. Its practicing mindfulness, raising one’s awareness of the little messages, hints, and clues our minds and bodies give us about the state of our being. “Little things add up,” explains Kelley, as she tells Laura how she was introduced to mindfulness practices in her 20’s… Her coach suggested she brush one tooth at a time! Developing this practice

Altering Our Relationship with Fear Requires Awareness First with Business Coach and Teacher, Melissa V. West

April 7, 2020

Having spent much of her younger life as a “force-aholic,” Melissa is no stranger to fear. She often found herself thinking along the lines of “do this or else…” which I imagine we all would agree is not a healthy, inspiring, or strong beginning point for anything creative to emerge from. “We are not conditioned from a young age to reflect and see who we are,” she explains to Laura in this episode. Going on, she shares a story of an experience in High School, when the students in her class took a career aptitude assessment. She wanted to go into Physical Therapy and the HS Counselor discouraged her, saying she wasn’t cut out for that kind of work. Because she hadn’t – yet – built her self-confidence and clear
