This week talk about the true costs and benefits of all of these digital tools that we use. I call it digital trade-offs. Are you getting just as much out of your screen time as you’re putting in? In the second segment, we talk about how sometimes the biggest gift, is you. And finally, we’re introducing a new segment called equity corner. Because it’s time for white folks to start having honest conversations about race. Segment One: Screen Time & Digital Trade-Offs I’m suggesting that the entire model for social media is meant to distract and to annoy and to make you check how many likes you have. How much support are you getting from this digital community? Is it connecting you in any sort of meaningful way? If you’re using social media for your business it’s important to know it’s pay to play. You’re renting space from social media landlords who rent space to large corporations who can pay a lot of money. It takes a special kind of magic to be going viral on social media anymore. So the questions I

We talk about the government shutdown, and real-life examples of how it's affecting people who work for the federal government - and people who don't. We also talk about how not having control over a basic thing like when you're going to get paid can cause catastrophizing and black and white thinking. Then we close out to talk about how we can get more compassionate politicians to help us avoid this mess in the first place.

For the first 40 episodes, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about different trends, tactics, and methods for improving your business. You might say we’ve worked together on your business. This episode kicks off our women’s series. It’s an acknowledgment that we are complex human beings. And there are so many different ways we can be stuck. We are not defined by our businesses; nor can we control outside forces. It’s also impossible to lead a siloed existence where our actions are governed by our business. Basically, we’re not robots. Today we talk about the importance of advocating for what you need. We talk about it through a progressive lens, but the message is clear that all women need a seat at the table regardless of race, politics or sexual orientation. So sit back, relax, and kick off 2019 with a couple of blue girls from rural red states who talk about overcoming fear, imperfect advocacy, standing up for truth and equity, being vulnerable, and the importance of communication.
