Brandi’s blogging niche
Brandi stated that she can't even tell what her early blog was all about and that she was trying to use the blog as a way to flirt with a co-worker because she was charming in her writing, but when she went to grad school, she began to blog twice because that was a creative outlet for her.
So, she was blogging about lifestyle stuff.
When asked about her business evolved, she states that it was slow at first. She worked for a nonprofit at the time, and that was her full-time job, but on the side, she was supporting friends that needed help, then she had a designer reach out to her to build several themes.
After that, she realized she was getting many jobs, so she quit and became a freelancer.
Brandi stated it is essential for people who are starting to start simple. She explains that when starting, you do not need a 15 paged site with all the integrations and shiny stuff; you can create a one-page site that conveys basic information that people need. She went further to state that when working with clients, it is vital to ask them about people they have worked with to have an idea on how to work with them.
In summary, she states;
· The first step is to get the client
· The second is to keep it simple
When asked about her advice for the listeners, Brandi stated a couple of things that were the takeaway. She said people need to learn to embrace the evolution rather than trying to get to a particular point; she went ahead to mention that it's not just about perfection but excellence because perfection is getting to a place and rigidly adhering to being there while excellence on the other is embracing the evolution of it all. In her words, “it’s all an evolution."

24 - Motivation Monday - The Gender of Leadership
The MaYapinion® Podcast
07/27/20 • 19 min
Welcome, welcome to another episode of Maya's Motivation Monday! On this episode, I am examining the gender of leadership. I read a lot about this lately and felt compelled to discuss it. I often say that leadership has no gender but the future is female. Why do I say this? Because I think we are truly recognizing that it is imperative, regardless of our birth gender, to have both male AND female traits and qualities to effectively lead. Find out why on this episode.

In companies, “leaders” do not do all the work, but they are 100% responsible for the work that gets done. If the results are not what the leader or the company wants, the leader is 100% responsible for figuring out why and fixing it. The same is true in my life. I am 100% responsible for my life and my results. I cannot waste time on blaming and complaining. If I am not happy with an aspect of my life, it is my responsibility to change it."

109 - Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together with Amber Tichenor
The MaYapinion® Podcast
05/16/22 • 38 min
Amber Tichenor has a Ph.D. in I/O Psychology and is the founder of To Be, Coaching + Consulting®. A thought leader on the topic of women’s rivalry, Amber has 20+ years’ experience as an Organizational Change Strategy and Leadership consultant where she helped guide businesses through transformational change. Her book, “Behind Frenemy Lines: Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together,” published by Morgan James Publishing, is on sale now. Amber’s goal is to promote collaboration over competition, to empower women to find their voice, leave the rivalry behind, and team up with a community of like-minded women who support each other to be unstoppable together.
In Amber's words, she is a leader because "I’m addressing the topic of female rivalry that’s not only challenging, disruptive, and heartbreaking on so many levels, it’s very difficult to address head on, and talk about it. And bottom line, this behavior doesn’t need to occur. As a leader, I’m helping women and organizations understand this behavior and ultimately, overcome it. I help women find their voice again and be better together. I help organizations understand how the behavior exists and impacts their organizational culture, and how to revise that to implement a culture of psychological safety. I walk my talk in my personal and professional life, there’s really no separation. What you see is what you get. I want to empower women, my family, everyone, to be better humans."
Amber also says, "I’ve extensively researched female rivalry and how it impacts women as a whole as well as the surrounding environment (work, socially, etc.). My goal is to help women overcome female rivalry and find ways to empower each other, work together and establish collaboration over competition. I firmly believe that what we can do together is so much more than what we can do alone!"

111 - How to Be the Leader of Your Life
The MaYapinion® Podcast
06/13/22 • 27 min
What does it mean to be the Leader of Your Life?
Most people believe that you must have a title like Director or Vice-President at a Fortune 500 company to be a leader. Others think you must own your business or be an advocate for a great cause. None of that is true to be a leader. In my opinion, we have leadership backwards. We put so much pressure on people to achieve a certain status before they can “lead’ that we have lost the true meaning of leadership. Before you can lead others, you must understand how to be the Leader of Your Life.
We have leadership backwards because we often are throwing individuals into situations before they even know who they are, especially who they are as a leader. We promote someone to lead a team before she knows what her values are for herself. We decide someone is ready to take on a new project before even examining whether it aligns with her personal mission. When we are interviewing and hiring, we often fail our teams as we don’t take the time to understand what their vision for their life may be or what they feel their purpose is in this life. Why do we do this? Because no one did it for us and we are repeating the pattern.
How do we change the narrative of leadership? And most importantly, how do we take control and be the leader of our own lives first? The core basic steps for us to take are to truly understand what our values, mission, vision and purpose are before we even step foot into an interview, a job, an office, a promotion, new business endeavor, the list goes on. Leadership begins within you and understanding yourself so that you can give back to others with your core values from a place of purpose, clarity of vision, and feel aligned with your own mission.
What happens when we go about jumping into leadership the other way around is counterproductive and we learn what doesn’t work. It can be helpful and that’s exactly how I discovered what my values, mission, vision and purpose were not at all. However, it led me to start to understand that I got lost in corporate “culture” and like a chameleon, I would change into whatever those key elements were for the companies I worked for. I’m sure without a doubt that you have done exactly the same thing. It does not matter if you are a CEO, Business Owner, Stay at Home Mom, Part-Time Worker, Full Time Student, Unemployed individual seeking your next role, or just taking time to learn about yourself. You are the Leader of Your Life. Therefore, you are already a leader.
How to become the Leader of Your Life?
You do not need someone to give you permission to lead or be given the corner office with a title. You are already a leader. Your values, mission, vision, and purpose will drive you throughout your life and dictate your personal leadership. These four important pillars will guide you to succeed in any aspect of life that you choose to embark upon because you will have clarity about yourself as a person and as a leader. That is why we have leadership backwards. We bring people into different cultures; work, home, community, church, and so on. People oblige and join these communities. However, you will join, create, and naturally attract and lead the right communities in every aspect of your life when you are the leader of your life. Why? Because you will dictate your environment, your environment will not dictate you, and your values, mission, vision, and purpose will drive the environment you create and attract. You will ultimately know yourself.

119 - Gender Economist and CEO of Pipeline, Katica Roy

Welcome Katica Roy to the show this week! Katica Roy is a gender economist, former Global 500 global executive, programmer, data scientist, and the CEO and founder of an award-winning SaaS company, Pipeline.

116 - Using the Enneagram for Leadership with Catherine Bell, the founder of The Awakened Company
The MaYapinion® Podcast
07/25/22 • 52 min
Catherine is a successful entrepreneur, business leader, and best-selling business author. She founded BluEra, a Profit 500 executive search, and team transformation company. As a top 200 growing company in Canada and top 10 in Alberta, and the best workplace, BluEra was a shining example of the Awakened Company System in action. With the sale of BluEra to DHR, Catherine now focuses on awakening the fire within organizations as the founder of The Awakened Company, a company aimed at awakening the fire within through passion, purpose, and playfulness.
The Awakened Company brings humanity back into corporate culture. Catherine is a certified Enneagram coach and uses this as a tool for self, relational, and organizational development. She has incredible experience with a very human-centered foundation. She is a sensitive, intelligent female leader and who you will definitely enjoy listening to...
Catherine in her own words, "I have helped to build a Profit-20 firm in the Province of Alberta and a Profit-200 in Canada, by doing things radically differently (especially in 2008 when I co-founded the firm). I successfully sold that company and transitioned the leadership. Everything in my life is dedicated to awakening - awakening ourselves, our relationships, our organizations, and our communities.
My vision is to be a healthy universal muse, radiating love, wisdom, and power in service to humanity and the planet. I believe that we either lead with positive intention or we will be led. Our organization now is an international thought leader on how to awaken corporate cultures. I am also a mother, wife, and very feeble human. I believe we are all leaders if we choose to be. My aim is with me wherever I walk. I lead not only in business but in the community as well. I am also a mother, Godmother, aunt, daughter, wife, sister, and colleague.
I teach at Queen’s School of Business in innovation. I also volunteer for the Telus Spark Science Centre, and Impact Society, and have created The Awakened Project, which helps female entrepreneurs start up their own businesses with microloans. I believe our inner, outer, and secret realities are here to be of service to humanity and the planet."

08/23/22 • 23 min
This week is a solo episode on on why and how we have leadership backwards. This is something I discuss often on social media but also, I mention it in my interviews and other solo episodes. Therefore, I thought it was time to do a quick episode on this topic. This topic is the basis and fundamental inspiration for "How to be the Leader of Your Life."

Welcome Nina Simons to the podcast this week! She is Co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers. As a social entrepreneur, her work has spanned diverse sectors and genres, including the arts, philanthropy, the corporate and nonprofit worlds. She is passionate about reimagining leadership so that all women and girls can whole-heartedly aspire to it. And cares deeply about being a good ally, and social healing by rebalancing racial and gender equity.
She co-edited Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart, and authored Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership—being released as a second edition in June 2022 with a discussion guide and embodied practices — and which has won awards in the categories of women, intersectionality and racial justice. To learn more about her, or where she may be speaking or teaching, visit ninasimons.com or bioneers.org.
Bioneers is an innovative nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and planet. Founded in 1990 in Santa Fe, New Mexico by social entrepreneurs Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, we act as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
A celebration of the genius of nature and human ingenuity, Bioneers connects people with solutions and each other. Our acclaimed annual national conference and local Bioneers Network events are complemented by extensive media production including a vibrant online media presence, award-winning radio and podcast series, book series, and role in third-party media projects such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie The 11th Hour and Michael Pollan’s best-selling book The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
Our dynamic programs and initiatives focus on game-changing initiatives related to Restorative Food Systems, Biomimicry, Rights of Nature, Indigeneity, Women’s Leadership and Youth Leadership.
Nina in her own words:
My life has been an exploration of how to best serve what I most love, while cultivating myself to grow into who I believe and sense I was born to be. This has involved lots of exploration and a path that’s quite self-made, and as I’ve explored how to shed self-limiting conditioning and cultivate leadership flourishing by cofacilitating retreats for women leaders who were diverse in every way, those women and experiences have grown me. I’ve partnered with a very strong-willed and brilliant man, which has required me to step up my game on every level. I’ve reached a place in my own life where I’ve created the life, leadership, love and creativity I always wanted, and I want the joys of that integrated life to be reachable for every woman and girl. And I believe the future of our species - and life on Earth - may depend upon it.
