    Your money just wants to have fun — if you let it

    Maybe it’s time to re-think your relationship  “I found myself burnt out, frustrated” (TRT is 11:00)  Everyone knows the old saying that “money cannot buy happiness.”  But what about having fun with your money? Financial wellbeing coach Erin Gray helps people come to terms with where they are financially.   In this edition of Bizgnus Interviews, Ms. Gray says she’s teaching others, especially women, what she learned the hard way.   Ms. Gray says she spent 40 years thinking that “chasing money would eventually lead to happiness and fulfillment.” Not so in her case.  The former certified financial planner and chief financial officer of her family’s company finally had a panic attack. “I found myself burnt out, frustrated, and disconnected from the joy of living,” she writes.  For more information: generatealifewelllived.com

    Mastering the mass media monster with AI

    •. Here are tips for small businesses •. “Boy are you exposed”   Why haven’t you enlisted artificial intelligence in your marketing efforts?   Las Vegas marketing master Mitch Carson has been at the tip of the spear when it comes to AI and marketing.   In this episode of Bizgnus Interviews, he offers examples from his experience of marketing in the 21st Century with AI.   But the first hurdle he has to cross is far more basic than artificial intelligence.   “Marketing is not transaction one time, it’s an on-going effort,” he says. “If you’re dependent on Facebook only as your lead source, boy are you exposed.”   Mr. Carson is an early adopter of AI.  “I produced events last year on ChatGPT here in Las Vegas,” he says.  “We were the very first to produce live events educating people about the benefits of ChatGPT.”   He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California. He later returned to school to earn an MBA with an emphasis in marketing.  He says he has trained more than 600 speakers, authors, coaches, consultants, and CEOs.  “Many have gone on to be bestselling authors,” he says, while “many have been able to experience a life transformation.”   For more information:  https://www.mitchcarson.com/

    The mentoring rewards

    •  Nonprofit takes mentoring to a new, international level •  “Most of us are mentoring all the time, we just don’t realize it” (Total Recorded Time is 17:42) When an organization’s leaders give informal but special attention to those with potential but less experience, it’s often called mentoring.   But can something so informal be organized?  Yes, says Deborah Heiser, who leads just such an organization.     The Mentor Project began casually when Ms. Heiser, an applied developmental psychologist. talked with a small group of friends about the need to match students with top experts in a vast array of fields, centering on the “STEM” fields of science, technology, engineering and math.     The non-profit organization now provides free mentorship to students in elementary school through university.   “Most of us are mentoring all the time, we just don’t realize it,” Ms. Heiser says.   The Mentoring Project, which she co-founded, started small but has grown quickly.  “It moved from 10 (mentors) to 60 to 80 to a hundred,” Ms. Heiser says.    “Our organization was built on mentors who didn’t have a way to connect with mentees,” she says. “We’ve been doing it for about five years now and we’re in five countries.”   She says it’s not just the students who benefit from the program. “The benefits of mentorship for entrepreneurs is tremendous,” she says.   Ms. Heiser is the author of the new book, “The Mentorship Edge,” (Wiley; 1st edition, November 2024).   For more information: www.mentorproject.org and www.DeborahHeiser.com

    How Trump’s tariffs may impact world trade — and your company

    • Supply chain expert Art Koch offers tips to be prepared • “We have to do a lot more education and training” (Total Recorded Time is 16:15) Assuming President-elect Donald Trump succeeds in imposing massive tariffs on goods imported from other countries, some manufacturing may move back to the U.S., or at least closer to the nation, says Art Koch, an expert in supply chain management. But don’t look for any sudden significant increase in domestic manufacturing simply because the trained workers are not available, he says. “We have to do a lot more education and training,” he says. “I don’t think it can be turned around in a short time.” How should companies be preparing?  Art Koch offers ideas in this Bizgnus Interview. Mr. Koch is the author of the new book, “The Supply Chain Revolution: Unlocking the Sustainable Profit Chain,” (Business Expert Press, June 2024).

    When AI is tap, tapping at your door

    •  AI shows the need for leadership •  “Some people are truly afraid of it” (Total Recorded Time is 18:00)    Edgar Allan Poe missed out on artificial intelligence, dying in 1849.  Had he written his poem “The Raven” nowadays, it might have gone like this: “While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some AI,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door. Only this and nothing more.”  But for many business leaders today, AI is no specter, but rather just something to deal with, says  Robert Hunt, who leads CEO peer groups and provides executive coaching.  As to that pecking away by AI, Mr. Hunt has some immediate advice.  “I think it's … a novelty and it's exciting -- and fearful to a lot of people,” he says.  “Our job as leaders is like any transition, any new thing, to cast a vision of how it fits into our vision because some people are truly afraid of it.”  Robert Hunt talks about AI and other leadership issues in this episode of Bizgnus Interviews.  Mr. Hunt is a partner with Renaissance Executive Forums Dallas and leads CEO peer groups, provides executive coaching, and leadership development.  His new book, co-authored with Salem Thyne, is “Nobody Cares (until you do),” Advantage Media Group (September 2022).  For more information:  http://www.refdallas.com/

    He speaks what the trees cannot (AUDIO ONLY)

    •  Dan Handel explains the kinship that exists between forests and spatial design •  “We have a good chance of actually being in a better place”  (Total Recorded Time is 20:00)    HAIFA, Israel -- They stand there for 50, 100, even 500 years until felled by chainsaw, fire, disease or storm.  These are the trees of our forests, which cover fully one-third of the land of the United States.   And while you think you know your local woody areas or even forests, Dan Handel really knows forests and how they impact how we live – and how people are impacting forests   Dan Handel joins us for this Bizgnus Interview.   Mr. Handel is a writer whose work focuses on research-based projects with special attention to underexplored ideas, figures, and practices that shape contemporary built environments.   He is an optimist, despite the daily reports of hurricanes, floods and massive wildfires.   “The crises we are facing … are at least a crisis of the imagination,” he says. “And when I say a crisis of the imagination is that because we collectively act in certain ways it accelerates the crises but at the same time we could reconsider some of our assumptions … in science and public policy. When we get there, we have a good chance of actually doing things differently and being in a better place.”    His new book is “Designed Forests: A Cultural History,” (Routledge; November 2024) which, according to its publicist, “explores the unique kinship that exists between forests and spatial design; the forest’s influence on architectural culture and practice; and the potentials and pitfalls of ‘forest thinking’ for more sustainable and ethical ways of doing architecture today.”

    40 Years a Cop, Now He Plots Their Days

    •  Brian Brady is creating a multi-part detective series •  “As a native San Franciscan, I enjoy writing about my favorite city”  Remember Nash Bridges? How about the Continental Op?  Sam Spade? Or, surely, Dirty Harry.  All were — or are — fictional detectives working the crime beats of San Francisco. They were created by authors who set new standards for the genre, including Dashiell Hammett who could be considered the foundational author of detectives and the “city by the bay.” It might be time to add Brian Brady to the list of authors who have picked the hilly and often foggy streets of San Francisco as the locale for their books. But unlike many of the other authors, Mr. Brady knows real crime and the real streets of San Francisco.   He’s been a cop and even chief of policies suburban Novato.  Add a stint as head of security for NBC Universal in Hollywood and you have a background that has now created two San Francisco-based crime thrillers with a third headed into its final editing. His new book is “Hiding in Plain Sight, (Palmetto Publishing, April 2024).  It is the second of a planned trilogy as he develops his characters and plots. The first book is “Oh. What a Tangled Web.” “As a native San Franciscan, I enjoy writing about my favorite city,” Mr. Brady write. “The city is rich in architecture, sports, tradition, and characters.” He says his characters are based on real people with a bit of literary license.
