YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW Steve Denny

This special episode is with 7-year-old entrepreneur, Auggie Keenum.

Augustus (Auggie) Lee Keenum is a 7-year-old son of Keaton and Kali Keenum.  He has always had a desire to create and been interested in “fine” works such as beading and sewing.  After being exposed to Trout fishing and all of the amazing insects (also a passion of Auggie) he was introduced to Fly Tying by his grandfather (PopPop).  His parents saw this joy and invested in tools and materials for fly tying which quickly turned into hours every weekend fly tying, a welcome replacement from roughhousing and TV watching. 

In the Summer of 2022 Auggie was approached with the opportunity for “Makers
Market”.  This was a great event put on by the Lake St. Louis Farmer’s Market every year, for homeschooling kids to get a taste of what it is like for a start-up business.  Auggie worked for weeks in preparation and realized this was a fun way to earn income. He showcased his organic sales skills on market day and surpassed his goal that was set during the business planning.

Between baseball, basketball, and motor bikes, Auggie is still found regularly at the kitchen table making “bugs” that he hopes to catch the next “BIG FISH” on or sell for someone else to get that enjoyment.  This was Auggie’s realized takeaway during this business launch, “I have fun making the flies and bugs, and the people who buy them have fun fishing. I hope they catch a lot of fish with my flies, or maybe one big fish. Or maybe they don’t catch anything but have a great memory. That’s all that matters.”

This episode is with special guest Julie Hamilton, Owner of Coaching PI.

Julie Hamilton has over 20 years of Human Resource Management experience and has been a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach for over 7 years.  She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009.

As a Human Resources Director, she knew the resources to use such as Family Medical Leave Act and workplace accommodations to help her with the tasks she was struggling with.  She didn’t need to worry about her job when she needed to take time off for flare days or medical appointments. She went from missing two to four days per month to missing two days or less a year.

Then after relocating to Ohio, her chronic illness made it impossible for her to work.  That is when she studied to become a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach and learned to manage her fibromyalgia.  She has gone from being in bed 90% of her life to walking three miles a day and even participated in her first 10k.  She now helps professionals who have fibromyalgia maintain their career and regain their active social life.

Her goal is to help companies create an inclusive environment for the chronically ill and assist them in implementing policies to benefit both the employee and the company.  She understands what it takes to make it work and can educate the company and the employee on how this collaboration can work.

Her company is Coaching PI.  For the past 7 years she's been helping clients 1:1 but through that coaching she learned that companies do not know how to work with their chronically ill employees.  The following is basically what she likes to talk about when she's discussing this with companies.

You know how important it is to have quality employees and how crucial retention is to your organization.  But are you wondering how to make your chronically ill employee more productive?

This scenario may have happened before your eyes – that star employee used to be very productive but recently was diagnosed with a medical issue.  Maybe they have turned into that mediocre employee – or worse, a bad employee.  If you want to learn how you can turn that employee back into a more productive employee, this discussion is for you.

inner satisfaction.)

2.  In the exit transition stage, when they need to design their life after business so that they don't lose their way after exit day. (This involves guiding them through the emotional journey that is often overlooked in exit planning.)
