"Of she had a lot of babies this summer and but yeah, it's been really a trip. I never expected I would get a fall and raise a full, but it just kind of works out. Oh, have fun. That's awesome. That's actually my horse. I got her as a brand new foley had to wait for her to be born. And then raising her through weaning yearling on up to I had her until she was 9. So it's a definite journey. Oh, that's awesome. I'm excited. I'm so excited to just watch her grow. I mean, she's already just like doubled in size since we brought her home in October and she's just a sweetheart. She's a little dunsky Philly and she's like, she looks like a yak right now because she's her winter coat is so thick. Sometimes it'll snow and she'll have that snow still sitting on her back like 24 hours later. Well, guys, we could keep talking all day because we know it like each other so well, but we can't.

And then people can hire you for shoots and all that stuff, right? Yeah, I don't do portraits anymore, no. It's all commercial and branding shows. And then I also have an education program for equine photographers who want to learn from me, and that's Shelly Paulson education dot com. And I know that our title sponsor, I know that they use some of your pictures too, straight arrow products. We've seen. Yeah, they've licensed quite a few images from me for their ads.

"For computers and before there were Apple stores in whatever I worked for an Apple reseller. And just about that time, the Internet kind of became a thing. And so I taught myself how to do websites and really became quite a website designer and developer. I could do the coding on the back end and everything. And then then about some years into that digital cameras became a thing I never had the patience really to learn photography with film, but once the digital SLRs got into a price range that I could get into, I started taking photos for my web design client. So construction company or a local bank or a nonprofit and I would go just take photos to use on their websites. Well, of course, by this time I owned my own horse and the minute I got a digital camera that first thing I pointed in at was a horse. But this was all before social media and it was really hard to break into equine photography unless you were a horse show photographer. And I had zero interest in standing in the middle of a ring for 12 hours of a day taking the same photo over and over and over. So what also was growing around the same time was wedding photography and eventually I left all the design stuff and did primarily wedding photography and then some equine photography on the side. And really grew that wedding photography business. Which I eventually had to set aside when I had an accident where I hit my head on a concrete floor. And just had lots of lingering effects and headaches and things. And stress would bring out headaches and weddings are really stressful, so I was almost always having to shoot the wedding with a lot of advil. And you weren't even the one getting married. And I was like, but I was responsible to make really great images. Every single time. And so I was like, I wonder what would happen if I just did horses. And this was at the point now where there's social media, some more people are knowing about me and it's easier to market outside of that horse show context. And I did it, I took the leap and the first year was not easy. You know, it takes a while, but then once that focus really shifted and people found out about me, it went gangbusters and now it's much more much bigger business than my wedding photography business ever was, but it was it took a leap of faith to let go of the weddings, the golden handcuffs that when you have that specific income that you can rely on and try something that really hasn't been the main income of my business. Yeah, but you have to deal with brides anymore. You don't have to deal with brides anymore, so that's the truth. Well, there is that. And you know, there are when I do commercial photo shoots the stakes are similarly high because I can't reshoot it. But when I was focusing on portrait sessions, it's like, oh, well, okay, it's raining today, then we don't shoot, or if the horse is really naughty, then we can reshoot. But now I'm doing more work with companies and businesses and they'll bring in models or art directors or like a whole crew of people or I travel for that shoot. And then it's the stakes are very similar to weddings. Yeah, I love how you've done both publications..

"Of unwanted horses. How do we take care of those animals and rehome them? How do we support people so that they can keep their equines at home with them? So it's a big Pandora's box and the short answer is it changed. We changed a lot. We pivoted a lot. We learned a lot and we're implementing, I would say everything that we've learned into new best practices and messaging that we want to share with people. I think it's great when organizations can pivot to meet the current needs of whatever's going on, especially when you've got something that is constantly involving evolving involving current events and involvement involving the above, yes. And I don't want people to think that we're the only ones that we're doing it. They're so I mean, so many nonprofits have been doing incredible work. And in this pandemic, it's really about everybody doing what they count and really trying to work together even though we may be far apart. What I love most about the halter project is, well, one year website. And it's a beautiful website. I since I do a lot of websites for what I do. It's always fun to see it. Well organized, pretty website. But you have so much information on it. It's a halter project dot org. And beyond, so you have all these great resources on there. And what are some things that where can people turn for resources on developing their own personal disaster plan in addition to halter projects after they browse all the information on there about for their local areas challenges? Because I think it's important. The plan. The local start, I'm sorry. That's okay. Yeah. We have tons and tons of information. And on our info pages, how to get help, how to find your own resources, make your own disaster action plan, build your own ready kits, build your own emergency supply caches..

"Horse owners be prepared for disasters, as well as common emergencies. Well, welcome to the podcast, Julie. It's great to have you here. It is great to be here. Now for the audience that doesn't know what we've been trying to get Julian actually since July, but she had a really busy 2021 dealing with a lot of different things in California with various fires and whatnot. So I'm glad we finally get to have you on. I am too, and I'm glad that fingers crossed. You have my undivided attention. On Friday, Saturday days. So fortunately, that's passed, but yeah, it's great to be here. I bet your guests had to pay attention to the weather the most out of anyone. Well, I don't know about out of anyone, certainly where you are right now. You've had a lot of weather to pay attention to and in general, paying attention to the weather regardless of where you live is a really important thing to do. It's a part of what we call situational awareness and especially if you have animals and most especially at those animals are equines. It's just a really important thing to build into your daily life, just be aware of what's going on around you and what might be ahead of you. Exactly. So you created the halter project and 2013 when your horse stubby had an accident. Can you tell us what happened and how that that night impacted you so much that you've dedicated your life to helping others deal with all these emergencies and disaster situations and whole gambit of what halter project does? Yes. Well, sadly, or sort of good news bad news is that stubbies accident was probably the single most common type of incident that occurs to our horses or all of us who have horses and are fortunate enough to keep them into their later years. So hubby stubby was one of our goals and golden horses. He was that great guilding that you have once in a lifetime. He was in his mid 20s, but he had a really bad me. He had arthritis. He had it for a long time. He was really game. It was a super cold for us here in cinema county. December night, it was raining lightly. The ground was slippery was in the 20s..

"Well, first of all, I can't believe it's the end of January ready. Let's start there. No, I've lost some of my month. But I think everybody's going. It's just going way too fast already. It really is. It really is. You guys have deadlines and new magazines. I don't know, you know, I have the deadline thing with, obviously, the podcasts every day. But I can't imagine having to fill a hundred pages of a magazine as often as you guys do. Oh, we just finished two deadlines. We just finished horse illustrated and young router and young riders going to 6 times a year now instead of four. So we get work for you. We never could fit in all the amazing topics that all our freelancers suggest and so I'm really excited because we have so many great topics for the kids and they just clamored for it. They kept asking and emailing and writing and so I'm glad we can provide that. Oh wow. That's very exciting. I didn't know about that. Well, congratulations is not too many magazines in the world that are increasing production and not decreasing production. So yeah, we're lucky that way. Yeah. That makes you guys an exception. So what we have a full show today, we have three guests coming up, right? Yes. So on today's show, we speak to Julie Atwood, who is the founder of the halter project. And equestrian photographer, Shelley Paulson, who is featured in horse illustrated and I believe young router as well quite often and has had many of our covers. And they'll ridden, we'll talk about attending horse clinics and horse training. Shelley Paulson's one of those people that when you talk about photography and the horse world, her name has to come up in that top three, right? Because she's been around a long time and everybody just knows her photography. She has photographs like people I know and done portraits. She's, of course, featured in the horse magazine. And then you'd find the ads for things like farnham and she'll be featured in there, you know, with her beautiful photography and you know all these different brands that she's been featured on. And so, you know, I'm happy for her..

"Canada or sorry in Nashville against Canada when he's arguing, I don't want to say arguing he's glancing over at the bench and displeasure in a what are we doing type of face because there's still zero zero versus Canada because things aren't going the U.S. mustache team. Wait, that's about the most negative thing I could say about John Brooks. This right here sounds like a club. To me, because I've seen this movie unfold plenty of times, player negotiations. They've offered him a new contract. The player says, wait a second. I'm free summer of 2022. There's a World Cup, November, okay? Why do I resign right now? Why don't I sign on a free? Why don't I leave on it free? Why don't I see what happens in the World Cup and then that transfer fee is money in my pocket and what can the club not do? We can not allow the player to leave on a free sudden things come out. That explains the Wolfsburg perspective. What about the comments or what's attributed to burr halter in this report from Bill? That's what would worry me if I was John Brooks. What's the connection there? I mean, Greg halter played in bonus Liga. Okay, can you know people with the build? Sure. Marcel Shay for the sporting director was his teammate at 1860 Munich. So you're saying you're saying that both the national team and his club team have turned on Brooks? No, what I'm telling you is it doesn't make sense. You said hit piece and I think that's a great way of putting it because Gregor halter has never said John Brooks is a problem. Has an attitude problem. John Brooks doesn't get called in. What's the first thing we see? It's John Brooks, put it out a press oppressor. And it's, hey, I didn't get called in. I need to do better, took the high road. And Greg berhalter never once said this man is a problem. His attitude with the group is a problem. So until somebody says that. Until we have an official report whether it's Wolfsburg or whether it's U.S. soccer federation or whether it's Greg Warhol to himself or John Brooks's mother, what is this? John Brooks, of course, one of the many champions are one of the many Americans involved in the group phase of Champions League. Did you see the draw for the knockout phase herc of championship? Which things? Yeah, exactly. Which one? Things.

"Start to get the horse to really want to come forward, you can also pair that with a queue, so you can cue him with your lead rope and then present the target and have him touch the target. I would say if you're tackling it from a positive reinforcement standpoint, it's really important to sort of really micro shape. What you're going to reward. So, for instance, going to a trailer. And I think you're on the right track. You're doing approach and retreat. I find that the horse is going to the horse tells me whether or not he's going to get in the trailer well before the trailer. And there's usually a threshold that they don't want to cross that might be several feet before we even get near the trailer. So that's where I'm going to stay and I'm going to either by using the target or using pressure release training. I'm going to work on so there's an imaginary line that I imagine in front of my horse and it sounds like you've spotted the sign where he's walking along and then the head shoots up. So that's usually him saying I'm not going to do it. He might walk all the way up to the trailer, but it's that moment where the head shoots up and he gets nervous. And or you feel his feet slow down if he's being a little bit more pokey about it. That's the moment where he's saying, no, this is not going to happen. I've crossed my cross my threshold. I don't want to do it. So even though the goal is to get on the trailer or to get in the barn, I'm going to work on that area where he's thrown his head up, and he's saying, I don't feel comfortable. And I'm going to what I want him to do is step one foot or two over that imaginary line. And deal with it. And I'm going to keep, and as soon as I get him to cross over, if I'm using clicker training, I can click and treat if I'm using pressure release training. I'm going to give him a big release of pressure. Leave him alone for a moment. And then I'll take him away. And I'm going to keep crossing that imaginary line over and over and over until he does not have the response that he was having, where he's slowing his feet down or throwing his head up. Now, here's where a lot of people myself included can fail with the pressure release is you recognize, okay, here's where my horse is saying no. Here's where I need to work on. And you're very good at releasing the horse when he gives you a little try. But the horse will very soon learn that, oh, I only have to get to this point. That's all I need. And I'm not going to try any harder. So they'll play this game with you. The Mustang I was working with recently learned really quick that I was rewarding him for putting two feet on the ramp of the trailer. So we got that several times and I released him and I gave him food. And I was very rewarding because he gave me such a big try. But then he realized really quick. He's like, well, that's all I'm going to do for you. I'm only going to put those two feet on the trailer because I've gotten rewarded for that before. Well, once I've conquered a certain criteria, so I've decided initially, it was can I just get two feet on the ramp? If I could get that, I would be so happy with you. Well, once we've gotten that and I've rewarded it and we've gotten it over and over and over again, and it seems like it's no longer a huge issue for the horse. This is where I'm going to start demanding a little bit more. And just getting two feet on the ramp is no longer good enough. Now that doesn't mean that I'm going to all the students start wailing on him for not giving me more. But you're not going to hear the click. And I'm not going to release the pressure until you give me a little bit more. Now, even if that little bit more is just leaning forward a little bit, I'm happy with that. Or putting those two feet a little further up the ramp, I'm happy with that. But once I meet the initial criteria, meaning, I just wanted you to get two feet on the ramp. Once I've met that, and I'm satisfied with that in the horse seems okay with that. I need more from him. And it might take me a little while to get that next step, but I'm will not give up until you give me something more than what you just gave me. Because we know you can put two feet on the ramp. You see you've done it several times. We've got that Concord. Now you've got to give me more. Now, usually, at this point, especially if you had to go somewhere. And you know, you've gotten your horse to get really close to the trailer. It's very easy once they start putting feet on the ramp to push really hard and say, just get all the way on. Because we're almost on the trailer. As soon as we do that, the horse is going to smell trouble and go, oh, you're trying to shove me in this scary box. So I'm not going to do that. So it's a balance between we don't want to ask so much that he's going to shut down on us. But we want to make sure that he knows, it's no longer good enough just to give me two feet on the ramp. You've got to try a little harder. And as soon as he gives me that try, I'm going to back off. I'm going to take them away from the trailer. I'm going to click and treat if that's what I'm doing. And I'm going to treat it like you just won the Olympics. So I think you really on the right track with the approach and retreat and recognizing where he is feeling tense and saying that he doesn't want to. The other piece of advice I'd give you is you don't always have to practice this kind of thing with the trailer. This sounds so much like this horse I have been training. He not only has a problem with the trailer, but going in his stall gate, which he goes through every single day. He does the same thing. When his shoulders get in that forefoot narrow gate, I can feel his energy. He goes, I'm trapped and runs through the Stargate. So it's very tempting if we're done with our session and he kind of hops through the stall get really quick just to take the halter off and be done. But, you know, when he did that, I was like, nope, guess what? Our session is going to last longer. And I sent him back and forth through that stall gate, a hundred times until he could cross through willingly. So there's a lot of areas where the source is probably telling. And I think you recognize those where he's telling you, I don't want to do this. And those are the areas where I would practice a whole bunch in your barn aisle, your gates going through narrow obstacles, loading on the trailer. So does any of that make sense or do you find that helpful or have any more questions on that? Yes, I find that immensely helpful. I feel like that you've been watching my sessions with because we have been doing exactly that. You know, I have rewarded him for getting two feet in the trailer and these little cool. Just all I need to do. And so that is super helpful. I guess my questions is when you when I get to that point and I want to up the game a little bit and say, okay, that's great, you did that, but now I need more from you because you've demonstrated that you can do that well. What kind of pressure do you put on your horse to up the game a little bit? Okay, so this is where the method you're going to use if you're using positive reinforcement training versus a negative reinforcement, which is pressure and release. This is where these two paths are going to diverge. And I've used both together. If you decide, well, I only want to do this based on target training and from a positive reinforcement stance. Because we're going to sort of take away the option of using any kind of pressure like Tapping on the horse or waving the rope. In that case, if you're doing it solely with the target training idea, you will have to cut his what your goals down in these tiny little slivers of, oh, you leaned in inch further than you did last time and take those wins. But if you're doing it using your classical approach, which is your pressure and release training, the kinds of pressure that I do, it depends on the horse. It seems like each horse has a little bit of a different preferences. Some horses, I've had respond really well to really light taps anywhere behind the driveline so that'd be behind the horse's girth area. Some horses did better when I used a flag and actually didn't touch him, but used a flag behind him and wave the flag. I would say whatever you decide to do, it needs to occur behind the horse's driveline. So behind the horse's girth, and I will put enough pressure that is necessarily necessary to compel the horse to do something. Let's say I put pressure on the horse and he starts backing. Well, I won't increase the pressure at that point because he's trying to do something. It's not the right thing, but he's he's compelled to do something. So I'll maintain that level of pressure until he comes forward again and then I'll release. So just any kind of you can use you can use your lead rope. You can use a dressage whip you can use a flag. You can use your buddy standing at a safe distance behind the horse. The other thing that's really important is I am going to try to keep the lead rope relatively loose. I might put some pressure on the halter as I'm asking them to come forward, but as soon as they come forward, I want to keep that halter lead drop really loose because if I'm pressuring them from behind and pulling them from the front and they take a step forward, but I continue to pull on them or continue to add the pressure even though they step forward, they've gotten no incentive to keep trying because in their mind, they said, well, I tried to do it, but I still felt pressure from you. So obviously, this isn't the right thing. It didn't make me feel any better. So I'm just going to stand here and ignore it. So I'd say the haltern leader mainly, I use that to keep their head straight and in the opening of that trailer. If they're coming forward, I have a really loosely drip. I want them to feel immense relief going forward. So that's what I would do if I was if I was using a pressure and release kind of method. Okay. That's great. That's really helpful. And I have one question if I'm allowed. Yeah. So sometimes, well, actually, what he does a lot. So if I get him like, say through a threshold like halfway into the stall, for instance. He has a tendency to turn his head and look out. Look back behind him, like, where are my buddies? And it's like he doesn't want to face forward any longer. He would rather sort of have that mental escape of turning around. So. I'm guessing I'm sort of answering my question. You know, it seems like that is something I also need to pay attention to. He's not taking a mentally checking out from the exercise. Yeah, you'll see what's the horse I'm training who wants to run through the stall door. There's a spot where he feels the most uncomfortable and he wants he's doing things like looking around, wanting to run forward or running the back out or at the very least, it's just standing very tense. And that's the I'm trapped alarm going off, isn't it? Yes, he's like someone shutting my coffin door. You know, it's that kind of buried alive. Claustrophobic feeling. So for my horse, it's when he's standing with his shoulders when the gateway is like even with his shoulders. I can feel his energy. He feels just like, I need to not be here right now. So what I try to do is instead of getting him to run through because he just wants to get it over with, I bring him up to the opening and before we go in, I said, just wait a second. Just wait, we're not going to install yet. Just wait. And then I make him take another step, and then I say, just wait. And if he runs through before I'm able to stop him, I'll just bring him out and try it again. And I want him to learn just to take one step one step one step one step. And as he's coming to that point where he's like, oh my God, this is terrible. I want to see if I can make him wait a moment. You know, obviously he's too scared for me to say stand in here for an hour and be perfect. But if he can stop for a moment and just be okay for a moment, okay, now you can go on through. But guess what we're going to do it again. But I'm going to give him that relief of, hey, you just stood there for a second and I know that was a huge deal for you. So now go on through. And I'm going to practice that over, and this does pair really well with clicker training when he's in that spot. You can use that food reward to say, hey, you made it. This is where I want you. But if he can stand there for a moment, I'll be happy. And then when we try again, can you stand a moment or two longer? And like I said, this was when it happened to me with this particular horse. It was I was done. I had just worked with him for a few hours. And I ended up spinning another half hour in and out of the gate. Because I know if I get that worked out, then when we go to the trailer tomorrow, you're going to have some mental skills available because you conquered this gate thing and it's going to make you better with your trailer.

Let's take this horse on an exercise program that suits his current needs. So he's body condition score one on a scale of one to nine. Let's start by making friends with him and making sure he is. Holter trade you know. Can we put a halter on him. Can you walk two steps across the pin. That might be all we can do. You might not have enough muscle to balance himself. If you pick up a foot okay. Now we're body condition score three. We can start halter trae. Make sure we're halter trained and let's increase. Do we load in the trailer. Can we step over a cavalry. We're going to step over a cavill muddy or log or whatever we have to engage our back muscles. We have to engage our cormack. You don't wanna exercise. You know trying to get this horse. Do a show tomorrow right. You're trying to get him to built muscle in some coordination and that can be done from the ground right. There's no such thing as too much groundwork. And i learned that because when i first brought my mayor home i had in addition to the vet hit a chiropractor come out and assess her her body and her back and we came up with a plan together and very clear that a saddle on her back and a rider was not going to be in her best interest. We spent a lot of time doing all sorts of different exercises on the ground in her brain. Appreciated that because he didn't have the anxiety or the stress of having to carry of having to tax her physical body until she became very attached to me because this kind of work was good for her mind and for her spirit and It actually was hugely effective and building up her muscle her hind end.

It felt like they were going to have to do so by being successful on set pieces and that had been a struggle for them throughout whether it was because of poor delivery Whether it was just because they couldn't get guys in the right positions whether at times maybe it was from lack of imagination on being willing to try some different things to get it to work but last night when they needed it to work the most it all came together carolina.

Thanks for having me to appreciate your time. How the light. Full is julie halter. Great she is a doll. I loved her story. I love imagining her. Moving people around in chairs as she probably did a phenomenal job as a stylist and then taking those skills and moving into real estate clearly gifted with people. I know that our listeners couldn't see what julie looks like. But i mean this is this may be the most impeccably groomed woman i've seen in my entire life like she has put together. There is no question every time i see her. She's so stylish. I'm just like beautiful. I found that whole conversation about emotional intelligence really interesting and it's been. It's been a topic a lot. People in talking about emotional intelligence. You come from this background of social work. I wonder if you could just kind of help me understand. Did we used to call emotional intelligence. Something else was it intuition. Was it got what the heck is emotional intelligence from your point of view. Good questions i mean. I don't know..

"How do you use emotional. Intelligence in real estate's like talk to and like what the hell is emotional intelligence. Can you just kinda lay down for us. Sure i'm certainly not an expert on the definition of the book smarts than their street smarts. And it's pretty rare that you'll meet someone with both right someone who's extremely intelligent and can read something one time and they knew everything in school. How may not know how to change tire like in person. They could explain it to you but maybe perhaps they could do that. And i think that's where a lot of my childhood growing up in getting buck off a horse and you know reckon every single motorcycle you know being outside and causing with emotional intelligence i use it. Of course it's just a part of who we are but give an example when i walk into a listing appointment and i look at the history. I have my intake sheet. Do all the real estate things that that one does. And i think okay well. This woman has lived in his home for twenty years. What happens in twenty years. All options married unmarried kids grown. They move out. I mean those are all memories. Those are huge life events that all happened potentially in that property so to that seller. It's not a property. it's their life. It's a passport. If you will of everything that they've gone through coming at a seller like that and having the gentle empathy but also keeping their eye on the future that okay. This served a purpose for a time. It called on me. Because you're telling me this doesn't serve a purpose for your life now. So i wanna get you into the right property so that you can live the best life that you would like to and wear so that you can have a great day every day and yet you had many great days here. That's part of the value of this property. Totally different mindset than someone who purchased a property in there doing ten thirty one exchange. They are not going to be emotionally attached to it. They may be emotionally attached to the money. But it's a completely different angle when you come in there talking dollars per square foot whereas your twenty year client is like talking emotional pounds per square inch exactly exactly. I mean it means a lot to those sellers to that when you walk the property to ask a lot of questions tell me about the irises that you planted many years have been here you know. How do they do in the spring and things like that. Just all the key points to that. It's really tough and not everyone's moving for a happy reason either and so if you're coming at someone who's maybe dealing with the death of spouse and they and they need to sell their property for example there's a lot that goes into that you really have to handle those clients with karen. It becomes not a transaction at that point. Obviously it's my responsibility to keep them within contract but it's also my human responsibility to take care of them so i will check in with him in the evening..

Want to make sure that. I don't just get them into a property. I want them to be in the perfect property with. Its the right fit in the elements location. What they've told me they want. Sometimes they don't exactly know what they want. They just know how they wanna feel when they walk into a property. We're headed into a post covid. World pretty quickly here fingers crossed that it doesn't come back. A lot of people made some massive changes in their lives during covid and there were some aspects of my life that i know i want to hang onto and so i'm wondering what are some of the things that you have taken on during covid world that you would like to continue. That tradition will have to make conscious decisions around doing that. And how are you making sure that you continue those habits as humans. I think that we're all very much so creatures of habit whether that be a good habit or a bad habit. And i've said this before in other interviews being in quarantine unfortunately didn't really change my life very much in fact it opened up a lot of opportunity for me. I'm sure a lot of other agents that we had time to really sit and look at how we do our processes and procedures with clients so one of the things soups very simple. But it's a huge time saver instead of physically me taking my booty box in the booty covers in the now hand sanitizer all of the marketing pieces. I used to have all of those setup in my garage and kits. And then i would have to physically go there and drop it off will now. I just have it.

"Looking at low income housing and you're looking at homeless shelters tents things of that nature. There's our housing market starts at what one hundred and eighty or two hundred eighty for like the tiniest little spaces and goes up from there. That's somebody who has to get a loan to buy a house and so to be able to get a loan. You got a job and bill get a job you gotta have an education so i think this will give me something to chew on as they go back and start these conversations. One listing in particular. Who just basically like this goes without saying. I want the most money possible right. Yes he says. It's sort of overtly. And i think most of us are a little bit more discreet about how we advertise like. Oh it will be nice to go over asking.

And so maybe a ten thousand dollar investment ins at beena hundred and fifty thousand dollar return on investment for ten thousand bucks to make hundred and forty off of that data darn good get that return very often and so for those types of folks it really comes down to showing them return on investment and you would be amazed how many people do not know what that turn means. So many people have no clue what return on investment means because so many of us work paycheck to paycheck. Never invested anything in our entire lives and really. Our house is the first time we've ever done that. It's a concept that almost needs to be taught when you think about home economics. They are still teaching people. How to balance checkbooks. We don't balance checkbooks anymore. Teach about return on investment..

Cma a dea may and that is when we do to see him as we show one to our clients. If you do absolutely nothing be leaving exactly the way that is occupied here. Five houses that are comparable to yours in this neighborhood. That did the exact same thing to you and here is what they sold for on a cost per square footage basis. And so if we take that and we analyze it and plus your square footage. This is what you can ask for your property now. Here are five houses. That did everything that they were supposed to do in the same neighborhood and they're similar to yours and here's what they sold for. So if you do absolutely squat nothing. This is what the market is telling us that your house is worth. This is not me telling you what the house is worth. this is what the market is telling. Your house is worth now if you do everything than this is what it comes down to. And maybe that. Cma tells you that it's not worth it to do everything because they all solve at the same price. Anyway that being said i can tell you that that has never been the case ever because pretty sell more money and ugly things sell.

Growing Up In Style: "Patterns of the Past" by Susan Choi
"I'm here to introduce a series of original essays titled growing up in style writers on discovering fashion in america in this one the novelist susan choi author of the national book award winning novel trust. Exercises writes about her love of fabric patterns as a child in south bend indiana here susan reading her essay patterns of the past. I hope you enjoy. Historians of fashion seem to agree that by the time i was born in nineteen sixty nine. The son was already setting on the golden age of sewing. But there were few signs of this decline where i was growing up in south. Bend indiana my mother like so many mothers owned a sewing machine and knew how to use it how this come to be. I asked her recently. She gave a verbal shots over the phone from houston where she lives. Now if you read the directions and follow the pattern it would come out all right. She recalled she didn't even remember perhaps because they were as ordinary to her as grocery shopping. Our trips to the fabric store. Oh the fabric store. Even now decades later when google those words and look at the photos my heart thumps with desire to be clear. These are not photos. A fabric for sale online but photos of the interiors of actual physical places where one goes to touch bolts of fabric cards of rick rack buttons buttoned to a stiff cardboard backing or tumbling loose in a jar dispenser displays of threat arranged by color the spools curved surfaces gleaming like candy and every kind of beautiful ribbon in every color and texture and pattern the fabric store. Unlike the grocery store made me hungry the for. What exactly wasn't clear at the time. It was something much larger and much less defined than the outfits. My mother would make me from the items. We chose the fabrics and notions and trim but the outfits i loved with my whole heart and remember as clearly as if they still hung in my closet. The ruffled pinafore made from a white on white print of tiny flowers trimmed with red rick rack and finished with the application juicy. Strawberries on the bib. The shirtdress of multicolored cotton printed with patterns resemble embroidery the truly glamorous halter dress with a triple tiered skirt of pastel. Blue pastel pink. Pastel yellow says my mother now in her eighties on the other end of the phone. I lovingly describe her creations. She is impressed. I remember so while she has zero memory of sowing the any of these things though she does remember making herself address with extremely big sleeves. They were in style that year. She says she wore it a few times and decided the sleeves looked so stupid that she tore them off and wore. The dress sleeveless the fact that unlike me my mother is white exceedingly pale small boned blue eyed and with the cheekbones of film star both oppressed me throughout my childhood. And lay somehow outside of thought even to articulate it now feels uncomfortable but the facts were and remain that my pale blue eyed mother never matched my black haired brown eyed dark skinned self always far darker as a child than i ever get now because i was outside all summer. In an era before sunscreen in elementary school in indiana. I was cast as the lone indian in the thanksgiving play more. Generally i was constantly looked at especially or at least so it seemed to me when standing next to my mother. We didn't match. I harbored a fantasy fearful half escapist that i would turn out who've been adopted from some faraway land. Even my father who really was from a faraway land only explained my appearance without removing. My anomalous miss. He was to novelists himself ends that hunger. I felt at the fabric store. Larger than any one outfit could satisfy for the choosing of the fabric and the notions and the trim was always secondary to the choice of the pattern and the choice of the pattern was never i understand. Now about the pattern it south. It was about the girls the winsome the willowy and the overwhelmingly with token exceptions white girls who modeled the pinafores and shirt dresses and halters the tiered skirts and even the full body. Pajama like halloween costumes. On the outside of the rectangle envelopes housing the patterns. Remember those remember how they were often filed in boxes so that your fingers walked through them as they would later walk through. Lp's at the record store. When i think of patterns my mind says butterick. And i bet that the majority of the close my mother made me were from patterns put out not by simplicity or mccall's but by the butterick company which also produced vogue patterns having licensed the name from conde nast bruising those patterns of my past online where especially at sea they abound as if the golden age of sewing never ended. I have to wonder if i always chose butterick patterns on the strength of the package illustrations alone. The simplicity girls are oddly wooden and slightly mis proportioned the mccalls girls look like cartoons but the butterick girls still quicken my heart. I recognize my secret childhood. Self that lanky limb d- flush cheeked auburn-haired spirited white girl. I was deluded enough to imagine. I might be twin sister to anne of green gables. No less than two miniature area clock recognizing that hopeless longing to be entirely unlike myself delicately white as affirmed by one hundred percent of my world is a part of moving past it and perhaps even a part of reclaiming those buttons and bows those bullets at every possible fabric delicious all on their own after concluding online photos that it might well be the store of my childhood. I called stitch in time in south bend but it had only opened in nineteen ninety. Three there was a fabric store back then an ireland road by the old scottsdale mall. The woman who answered stitch in times phone told me. When i explained where i lived fashion fabrics that turned out had opened in nineteen seventy one just in time for my first toddler outfits and closed just under two decades later having withstood. Even the machine made onslaught of gloria vanderbilt. I know about that story. Because i worked there. The stitch in time woman went on. But before i could exclaim that maybe she'd helped me choose buttons or ribbons. She politely ended the call. An actual customer having arrived looking. I imagine for the modest but real transformation that a pattern and some fabric can provide.

Red Hat CEO Turned IBM President Jim Whitehurst Drives Cultural Change
"For too long into the red hat experience. But but how i'd be fascinated understand now yet a new culture a very different one from red hats After the acquisition talk about your own personal journey going from that dynamism of the red hat experience to the much larger organization different culture of ibm. Yeah sure i'm right in the middle of it. So i can spend a ton of time on Five hours on it or we'd spent five minutes so i'll start with a little bit. You know so what. I think i learned over time is out. I would argue. Delta airlines not was on the board of united now is incredibly well run company and it has a culture that would have killed red. Hat's red hat is a very well run company and it has a culture that would kill delta different. I'm gonna get together culture up at operating model because you're operating models really what drives cultures so it's leadership style behaviors sure banishment processes to org structure all electric culture. So i'm gonna munch those together. We had time. I can try to tease those apart. Let me just start off with those things together. A bit so in observation there is many companies have developed the operating model culture to dry standardization efficiency. Right that's what delta did the recent delta's the most on time airline at least the majors is because we spent a lotta time driving a ton of efficiency standardization. You're everything you're doing about how you take variance out and that's great for driving efficiency. Not really good for driving innovation because innovation is frankly all about driving variance in and so i got to red hat. What i thought was chaos. Lovely before i kill the i learned over. Time was just a relatively. Extreme way to trotted drive a faster pace of innovation and you know just taking the extremes the operating model delta. It's a single digit margin business where you are running very own. We wanna take in the last piece lettuce office salad. You'd get a salad. I mean you're like really really you know. It's a tough business in the software business if you get a winning product it money. Any software products gross margins are ninety plus percent if it's a winner jimmy lot of money so the question is will generate a winner and so once the innovation model that likely to try to write set of stuff where you ultimately ended up with winter. And so you know. I think for even how i spent every day at church at delta versus read different the cultures were is just the whole models are set up differently and so fast forward to that has one of the reasons why i have moved over to be. President of ibm is not because we want to drive red hats culture to be. Ibm's culture because ibm as a lot of services businesses we Mainframe hardware bunch of other things. But we want to try elements of the. I read culture in ibm. And the reason. I start off with that. Preamble and i encourage every company around. This ought to be really really chris. There is no better and worse. Culture operating model there are cultures and models that are used for different things. And here's the trick. Most companies a even red hat at both right you know we still had accounts payable processes and other things where we frankly didn't need all that innovation those standardize delta you want no innovation safety procedures before your trust me No examination there on the website you want experimentation so we're all mixes of those in it so to start off kind of coming into red hat. Everybody will most people idea are looking for breath of fresh air and a change. And i think we're trying to do some of that. But to be very very chris there elements of ibm's model. That are really important for what we do. And their elements red. Hat's model that we want to inject into ibm to change. But it's not a value judgment of better worse. It's different for different purposes. By the way. I'll say this is true in it. And i think a lot of people mess up in it they create a innovation group. That separate have no problem with the separate innovation group yet. But you can't over celebrate it like the special kids in the people who are running your european than keeping the lights on or not right and he can say hey. I'm gonna for model for these things. But they're both equally important is like a heart alone. Got gotta have both right. So i spent a lot of time at ibm talking about those things. Now what we've done from there is. We are very chris that there were three components of halter characteristics of culture. That we wanna drive ibm Entrepreneurial spirit growth mindset in radical candor. But we've also been very clear. Those are attributes. And i don't know how to implement an attribute i don't even know but when i can't do is i can exhibit behaviors. So we started. We're starting off in Stop word route. Which is it's like. Ninety percent of the prophets is probably fifty percent of the people but in the software group We're taking all of our managers breaking cohorts. Were having town halls meetings. You define behaviors that leap believe support radical candor growth mindset Upper pearl spirit and. Then we're going to be very clear on that what we expect of our people were setting up kind of bottom up rewards and incentives around those things and so i'll say you know behavior i if i'm gonna meeting in someone doesn't speak up. I will proactively ask everybody meeting before we make a decision and stuff like that or going to keep thirty minutes of every agenda free open time so people have issues talk so it's not hard stuff but you kind of put together the thirtieth those behaviors in now you start getting changed applied. The of really really involved. But i've been very crisp up front. There's kind of driving future state in seeking future state if you want to think about the opposing models not way. You know the way i talk about is. Ibm is very much. We plan yet. We get prescribed it and then we kind of execute. Where red hat we configure. We don't really plan because you're kind of configuring organization. Yup we can enable rather than really prescribing. We more engaged for executed. What

Marketing vs. Branding
"Let's say you have a product and you have one hundred thousand dollars. Despite that on branding do you spend on marketing the continue feature podcast. I'm your host Christo. What is more important branding or marketing. What's the difference between the two which efforts should come I in this episode. I sit down with Melinda Lucy a brand strategist and the founder of marks and maker. We're also joined by Fabian Gear Halter was also branch outages and and is the founder of Fenian in this episode of the future we discuss if video posted by marketing consultant. Donald Miller speaks about his controversial opinion a pal. You need to be making fifty million dollars before you think about branding your company. Melinda Fabian and I sat down and have a thoughtful discussion about how we view branding mm-hmm marketing which is more important says it back listen to find out where we stand on the issue and how we view the relationship between branding in marketing so guys when Melinda calls answer in here we are millions like I think it's time I'm for another meeting but the switch today is that she's brought in another person that you are familiar with two if you're familiar with the channel none other than Fabian Garrelt are here and I think I think we're GonNa be talking about something that started to get under the skin of a lot of creative people. Donald Miller put out this video about the importance of marketing over branding he he gave branding short shrift for sure in this video branding though is a luxury. I think you need to be making about five hundred million dollars or even start thinking a whole lot about brand new and get your colors right in your logo and that sort of stuff but branding people have to be familiar with your brand in order to be trained to feel a certain way about your brand until then you need to do marketing as marketing is really where you make your money. Marketing is when you tell somebody to buy your product and you explain why they should buy a product mostly because I think he's a marketing Guy Guy. Of course he's going to talk about marketing so I think that sets the stage for the conversation. Let's see where this goes so Melinda. What are we talking about today about the difference between between branding and marketing okay so you have a perspective on this not yet it to bring news one little canary the cat the Cheshire cat here okay. I'm sure I have an opinion on it that I am unable to yet articulate but I would like to hear from both of you and your perspectives because as a brand identity designer turned bram strategist. There's a lot of overlap in marketing in from from Hearing Mountain Donald Miller video about. We shouldn't even worry about it until the company was that what did he say. Fifty million changed his mind throughout the video but fifty million yeah fifty million yeah. You shouldn't even worry about branding unless you're a fifty million dollar. Come out okay he started out with five hundred and they know it change five hundred a million and then it went down then he corrected himself to fifty okay and you work with a lot of startups to yes. I'm working on at that point with companies of all sizes and Milinda sent me the video and my head exploded and I'm like wait a minute. Don Miller is a good guy. He's talking about story branding. That's his friend right yeah. That's that's a name literally the name of his book Iran Bright and I read it you know I I liked it quite a bit and then I see this video and CD statement and as a Yemeni. I'm ready to talk about that. Okay well. I'm going to ask you because I watched it and I think there was a lot of fire and fury before watched a video so I'm like chill. Just watching objectively tried to remain neutral watches thing and see what's getting people prickly. Gli about it so you said your your head exploded so one of the things that he said that really made you think I don't agree with this point of view so I think that we did he position. It was one of if those quick videos I I think he the way he framed that was a little bit misleading and that's what gets everyone fired up including myself but rightfully so right because you shouldn't frame mm something that way. I'm in my eyes right the way that he talked about. It needs to be fifty million company. dollar company before you even start branding. It makes absolutely no sense to me. This is very much the cart before the horse right because you is very like antiquated analogy here but you you cannot you cannot talk about something. You cannot market if you haven't read it yet if you don't know what you're talking about right and in the video heels a talked about Simon Sinek famous wine. He says there was no need to ask why you just need to send emails at that point. You just email l. e. mail email and don't ask the question why behind the company and to me that is completely against my fundamental ideas right like you. I have to create a platform. You have have to create a brand platform to really derive why to company exists. You have to create obviously the company name. It's basic branding pieces that need to be in place the the reason why he said it is because he talked about this fifty million dollar company that said we need to do branding and he's like no. You don't so what doesn't work in there's video is that of course the company already had to spend a lot of money. Branding otherwise would have never gotten to fifty million dollars. Okay anything else doc for now. Okay being so accommodating okay. I think let's I understand the structure of these kinds of videos because I make these kinds of videos to their designed to push buttons and to incite true emotions because nobody cares if he's like. I love branding marketing the soccer ball marketing today nobody from the design side. Nobody on the brand space would would even care. Nobody would share does videos like what do you think so he's doing. I think what many people that are really smart. What about positioning says I'm for this and right now. I'm not for that so gets all the people that are yes. We're marketers and I also want us to kind of be aware of our own bias or bias sees right or by says. Are you saying that word. which is your branding guy? So of course you think branding is really important. I think I didn't fully we realized this before but he's really a marketing guys teaching people how to market their products and services so he's a marketing guy and I think this is our own kind of we want to shape reality reality the way we see it so I'm just trying to look at it like as a as as robotically as I can what is being said and what is more important. Whatever so let's get get into that okay. Let's say you have a product and you have one hundred thousand dollars. D spend that on branding or do you spend on marketing. I think you have to divide it in a very smart way. I mean you should in his thirty. Seventy rule is is not a bad rule rule right. I mean out of that budget. You should most probably take thirty percent of so branding because you have to establish thing right. You have to create the word before you you spread the Gospel Right and so marketing advertising. It's basically putting the word out there. You need to do a lot of that right but I need to define what the business for so I think it does make sense that you split less branding and more for marketing because if people don't hear about it they're not going to buy your stuff if they don't buy your stuff out of business right yeah I think I can also imagine why put out this video because he consults for firms probably fifty million and up and we're going to spend all the money in branding business so after hearing that for a while a piece like this comes up. That's why I like some people Chris. You're really salty. It's like we'll I've heard this question and and people beating their head against the wall so many times an eventual I come to the conclusion that this is what you guys need to hear and let's cut out the BS. Let's get started because you're here because you don't have enough runway. There's not enough revenue talk about you're GONNA be out of business in six months. We got to fix that and stop spending money on branding okay so let's take a step back for people who are like branding marketing. These are like terms. I use all the time interchangeably. Let's start with the definitional branding. Okay the way that you see it. What is branding. You know. I have different ways but I'll just you know off the cuff now. What is branding branding really is that it establishes rushes the why behind the brand establishes look and feel it establishes a positioning in differentiator in the marketplace and and all of that combined is beginning of branding and so I think it gets complicated right because in one of your posts recently Chris about branding being something that gets people to come back marketing something to get people to go to in the first place that too I think is a fine line right because without the brand being created created you know you can't markets like branding marketing branding marketing it kind of goes and it goes into this flow yeah so branding on the one hand is establishing gnashing that emotional connection and then the other hand this to keep it up right then go back to values to make sure that we keep evolving our brands but marketing is obviously key to getting the message out right so when I hear this it's like okay. I'm I'M A graphic designer. I've been calling my logo branding or you're saying sounds a little bit different than what I've been doing so I think it's healthy for us to have this conversation and and do like a public service announcement that if you make a logo well if you make a mark your identity designer your logo maker a letter form person you're not a branding person yet is one facet but it's just one very small facet actually right so when you say it's the why behind the company establishing the look and feel differentiating through positioning what look like what are what are the things you make when you help. Somebody brand their company the product or service so in the beginning. It's a brand platform as the industry calls also dried so it's really identifying how it's kind of like a business plan but the brands plan right. What do we stand for. Why do we exist. How how do we differentiate. How do we need to position company to stand out. What is the big why I call it too because statement right you know this is why we exist. You know what it connects with customers and understanding the customers before you even launch understanding. Who will these people be what channel so dion right? How can we connect with them read to comment on social media and start becoming part of psyche all of that even though it could be seen as marketing that should be established as part of branding before you even create the name for the

Welcome to brain stuff from how stuff works. Hey, Brian stuff. I'm Lorne Bogle bomb. And today's question is why are stop signs read one not green or purple why not mango Tango or tickle me pink in the early days of motor vehicles. The rules of the road where let's say they were really more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules. Believe it or not the first stop signs in America were not put in place until nineteen fifteen according to historical estimates by the federal highway administration in nineteen fifteen. There were already almost two point five million cars driving on US roads. When those much needed. I stop signs finally did show up. It happened in the motor capital of Detroit. Michigan, and they were not the red octagon that we know and love today but white squares with black letters now traffic sign codes throughout the twentieth. Century have recommended several different variations on the basic design. A for example in nineteen thirty five the United States got its first official manual on uniform traffic control devices. Which said stop signs should be a yellow octagon with black or red lettering. It wasn't until the nineteen fifty four revision of this nineteen forty eight edition of the manual at the red octagon with white letters became the law of the land. According to that document, the red color is consistent with the accepted use of a red light as a stop signal end of the Colorado as a special warning of danger. Furthermore, they explained that the original decision to use yellow instead of red was because red pigments were more likely to fade over time with exposure to the elements. However by the nineteen fifties. These state of California had solved the problem by using porcelain enamel to protect their precious read signs and higher durability red paints were becoming more widely available and like that red became the new yellow, but there's a question that goes deeper than uniform traffic, signaling protocol, why read is there any reason to think of red stop sign would work better than any other color getting drivers to stop zooming straight through intersections at eight miles per hour. One fairly obvious answer. Is that red is not as likely to blend in with the landscape as some other colors. This explains why the highway administration has repeatedly rejected our proposal for a green and Brown camouflage pattern. Stop sign. Another important point is that likely aforementioned manual says red is a color we consistently use dentistry warnings and peril. A think about the wrong way sign and the do not enter sign having consistent color coating helps drivers learn to identify specific colors with specific messages. So even if you only catch the hint of red sign out of the corner of your eye. You're more likely to react with caution. The way you've been taught there are also some behavioral research findings that might point to the inherent power of the color red command RBM, it's for example, a twenty-seven study published in psychological science found that male rhesus monkeys under test conditions or less likely to steal apple slices from human experimenters who are dressed in red. The monkeys didn't seem to care about the gender of the human experimental and were not deterred by green or blue clothing, but a red hat and t shirt were enough to make the monkeys cautious about swiping that fruit. Now, it's important not to read too much into that result. Those study was done on monkeys who. Could be reacting to read roll kinds of reasons. But it at least suggests the possibility that there is a primate instinct to associate red with dominance aurthority, and if humans share this hypothetical primate instinct, the difference between a red stop sign a yellow stop sign might be the difference between stop in the name of the law.
