"Has really surprised me and how kind people are. So I have just been astounded by the amount of amazing businesses out there because in a corporate world, I think your perspective is actually pretty narrow in terms of what you see when you've been in one place for such a long time. But the amazing small and medium business is out there and the creative ideas and just how incredibly creative people are and making this stuff work to me it's just astounding. Also just out of all of those people, people have just been so welcoming and so friendly and so helpful that I've just been quite stunned by all the just kindness I guess of people are really wishing you to succeed in wanting to help you with like not wanting to have anything back or not expecting anything back as they kind of point in the right direction or try to help you. So it's been really pleasant actually. I think it's just been an amazing learning for me to see how much great stuff is out there and how amazing the kind people are. Now if you had to give advice to your younger or your previous self as it relates to changing careers, what might that be? Probably to relax a little bit more about everything. I think because I was so focused on trying to build a career that I think I probably did a lot of things that in hindsight, I just wouldn't have done. This hustle, this really trying so hard to get somewhere and actually probably doing it at the expense of my health and expense of relationships or friendships and the expense of other people potentially. I think a lot of that people in that environment get so caught up in that. And I just feel like it's such an unhealthy thing to do and I would probably tell myself just to not get so caught up in it and just relax and enjoy the good bits but not worry so much about all of that other stuff. Is there something that you wish you had known? That you now know about running your own business, for example, because it sounds like that's something you'd want to do for so long. Now you're doing it. Any interesting insights about what's something you wish you had known that you now know. I mean, that you could do it, that I could do it. I would just tell myself that you can absolutely do it. I think just make sure that you find the right people to help you and support you, because for me, I just think just taking the dive and asking for help where you need it is probably something that I don't do enough of still, but it's definitely the thing that I would say to myself is just do it, ask for help if you need it. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help. I also know that when you sometimes put yourself in a very different environment, I know I experience this myself and I talk to people who have gone from the corporate world into self employment who have experienced this. Having been through this career change, what's something that you have learned about yourself along the way? I am keeping in mind the fact that you're still quite early on in your journey here. That I love to learn new things. I've just absolutely thrived so much from learning so many new things over the last few months really, about 6 months or so now that I've really started. So just the sheer amount of learning that I can do is just so exciting and it is just keeps it interesting. So I think that's probably the thing that I've learned about myself more than anything else. Well, I want to wrap up by making sure that we give people a chance to find out more about you if they're interested in learning either more about pink spaghetti or the virtual assistance services that you offer, where can people go if they want to learn more? Probably the best place is pink hyphen spaghetti coded UK and you can find me on there if you search for Brighton or on social media. All right, well, we'll make sure that we include a link to that in the show notes. Okay, normal. Well, thank you so much for telling us more about your life as a VA and a business owner, some of the challenges that you've faced and overcome starting your own business and most importantly, some of the lessons that you've learned along the way, so best of luck to you with continuing to grow your business at pink spaghetti and also parenthood. Lovely. Thank you so much Joseph. So I hope you heard some useful insights from Norma about the contrast between self employment and full-time employment, the impact your health can have on your choices and the risks of hustling too much in your career. Now it's time to wrap up with today's mental fuel, or I'm going to talk about the importance of delegation and getting the help you need. Before we get to today's mental fuel, I wanted to thank harmony design for supporting this episode of career relaunch.

It's the standing desk I use myself and career relaunch listeners can get 15% off any harmony order by visiting career relaunch dot net slash harmony spelled HAR MO NI and using discount code relaunch. This is the part of the show called mental fuel where I finished the show with a brief personal story related to one of the topics we covered today and wrap up with a simple challenge to help you move forward with your own career goals. And for today's mental fuel, since we're talking about virtual assistants, I thought I'd pick up on this topic of delegating tasks, which is an important step to take when you're trying to begin a new chapter in your career or just give yourself more time to focus your energies on the part of your career or business you want to expand. So I wanted to share my own experiences with carving off tasks. How I decide when to hire someone and also some of the platforms and tools I've used to find freelancers and talent to help me with my work. Now, as someone who runs my own business and could use all the help I can get, ironically, kind of struggled with delegation during this chapter of my career. Back when I was working in a traditional full-time job in the corporate world, I actually felt like I was better at delegation because as a manager, once you've got direct reports, delegating projects and tasks is part of your job by definition, and if you don't do it, there's literally no way to keep up with the workload and that's not going to bode well for you. I guess my central struggle with delegation has basically come down to one thing. And that's letting go of control. Part of the allure of running my own business is control. And autonomy. And also really taking ownership of my brand and my content and my business. And anyone who's worked with me probably knows I'm quite particular about certain things. Not only the people I work with, but also the actual work itself, especially when it has anything to do with branding, marketing, or audio. But in order for my business to evolve and grow, I've had to delegate and hire people to help me, mostly freelancers. I've hired people to create a video animation to file a trademark application to compose music to build my websites to file my taxes to Photoshop images. And yes, to help me produce this very podcast. Thank you, Liam and Jonathan. I've also delegated things out and then decided to do them on my own again. For example, when this podcast was first released, I hired a PR team to help me with the launch. But I didn't feel like I got a very good return on my investment. So since then, I've actually handled all my own PR and outreach by myself. I once outsourced copywriting, but eventually decided to do it on my own again. I once outsourced invoicing clients, but now handle that myself again. So the first question is, when should you delegate? Just to chime in on some of the criteria, Norma shared earlier. For me, I tend to delegate when the following four conditions are met. First, when I'm not very good at it, either because I don't have the skills, talent, or interest, or I just burn way too much time trying to figure it out. Second, when I really don't enjoy doing it, either because it's too hard for me or just kind of energy depleting. Third, when I don't feel I'm uniquely positioned or qualified to do the work. And finally, when I feel the cost of hiring someone to do it is more than offset by the benefits of me doing something else with that time. And I'm not just talking about the differential between what I pay them versus what I could earn in the same amount of time. I'm talking about doing higher quality work for my clients, reaping health benefits, being able to spend time doing something more valuable to me or having some extra time with my family. Now let's say you're listening to this and you're thinking, okay, this all makes sense, but if you're running your own business or if you've got a limited budget, like I do, you may be hesitant to blow a ton of money on hiring for a wide range of reasons. At the same time, you may also realize that hiring the right people to help you with a task is an investment that ultimately could pay off. So the second question is, where can you go to find freelance talent or tools to streamline or delegate some of your processes? Well, I would be remiss if I didn't start by suggesting you check out Norma's profile on pink spaghetti if you're looking for a virtual assistant. We've got a link in the show notes for that. I'm going to just rattle off a few other places I've gone and I'll capture a list of these in the show notes too. For most freelance hiring related to my business, I tend to turn to upwork or Fiverr. Upwork for more complex projects and Fiverr for simpler executional tasks, like photoshopping images as I mentioned before. For creative projects to crowdsource ideas, I've used squad help for brand identity and name ideas. And I've used 99 designs crowd spring and design crowd for brand design. I've also managed to save myself some time and head space related to administrative tasks by using some helpful tools. Just to name a few for task list management, I use todoist. For scheduling, I use one's hub and for social media management up until this month, at least. I've used tools like buffer and later. But most recently, I have discovered an amazing tool called vista social, where I can manage all my social accounts in one place. Finally, I should also mention that in my own personal life, I sometimes have a hard time just hiring someone to do something that I feel I could do, or maybe should do myself if I had enough time and patience. Whether it relates to parenting or chores around the house or really anything that needs to get done. But just to give you a current example for those of you who subscribe to my newsletter, you probably know that I took a bad fall last month when I was running and injured my shoulder pretty badly. So I used TaskRabbit for the first time this week to hire someone to assemble some furniture for my daughter's bedroom. And you know what? Although I typically do this myself, it was one of the best things I've done with some pocket cash lately. And I will probably be using them again, even when my arms better. Anyway, those are just a few of the places I've gone to delegate some tasks. When I've managed to get over my own hangups around letting go of control, the payoffs are priceless. The overall quality of work is better. My productivity goes up. I have more time. I have more energy. I can do work. I actually enjoy and is best aligned with my skills and talents. The financial investments, almost always pay off in the long run. And it's also nice, especially as a solo business owner to have a bit of a team around me. Even if that team is virtual. I hope you also can open yourself up to delegating something off in your work or life. So that you can ultimately have more time to do those things you find most important and most rewarding. This takes me to a quote from the filmmaker Karen kusama. It's extremely instructive to realize that you can not do everything. You need to delegate to find experts to consult with them. A big part of the job of directing is knowing when to take something on and when you shouldn't. So my challenge to you is to think about one time consuming task you've been doing that has been detracting from your ability to focus on one of your other professional or personal priorities. Or something you feel someone else could just do more effectively and more efficiently. Delegate it. So that you can take that time and instead focus on something you're uniquely positioned to do.

"Was wondering, have there been any major surprises for you along the way, as you've shifted from the corporate world to self employment, as you've shifted from financial services to VA work, does anything that has surprised you? I think a few things have surprised me, I guess the first one is and this is probably a little bit more of a negative one. And I am still kind of grappling with how to navigate my way through this is that people make assumptions about you. So unless they know your history, then people seem to, you know, how am I going to put this in a nice way? Maybe look down on you a little bit. So when you're saying that you're a VA, then people will sometimes think, oh, you're just an admin person. Probably don't have a lot of life experience or work experience. So I think that's kind of interesting for me because I obviously have had a pretty successful career. I could probably step into pretty well paying corporate career again if I wanted to. But it is strange that people make that assumption without really getting to know you, but what's good about that is it's really challenged me to think about the assumptions I make about other people because it's the contrast that I can see. So obvious to me at the moment. So kind of interesting, but also I think good learning for me because it really has challenged me to think about the assumptions I make about other people potentially. And then the other thing is just how amazingly creative people are has really surprised me and how kind people are.

"Time for bonuses and I'm like, oh yeah, you don't get that. Now I don't have that so I just need to work a little bit harder if I want to get more money. So it's an interesting place to be, but for the most part I'm just infinitely grateful that I've been able to make the change.

"You're from and what you do it is fairly recognizable and people understand kind of which box to put you in. And then when you move out of that and you're suddenly just on your own and it's just about you and the services you can offer. It is kind of a scary place and especially if people then start saying when you start developing new business and people keep telling you no, then it can feel really hard initially when you just hear know all the time you're like, you know, what is it? Is it my business? Is it me? Is it then it's all these self questioning and all the impostor syndrome that comes with that is really tough to deal with. So that's been a little bit hard, but I would say that I think I've come out of the other side of that and I have a great set of clients who I absolutely love working with and things have just become a bit easier and if I do have a moment where I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing or I feel a little bit lost in some way then I call up the franchise folks who have this great support team and they always help so yeah, so it's been mostly I would say up so far and I'm enjoying it pretty much all the time so that's great. You mentioned the franchise model a few times Norma and for somebody who's listening to this, if they're not familiar with the idea of franchising, how exactly does it work? My rudimentary understanding of franchising is that they, as you mentioned, give you the tools to get your business started. They're also helping you with things like marketing, they're giving you some maybe formulas that work really well to get the business going. Maybe you do a bit of maybe revenue sharing. How does it work with pink spaghetti? What's the model there? So I think it varies a little bit by franchise. Of course, can't speak full franchises. But effectively, you will buy into the brand. So the branding is something that you get to use. And as you say. So you've paid them an upfront fee so effectively purchasing the rights to flipping spaghetti particularly you purchase the rights to a specific area that you're allowed to network in. And then you will pay an ongoing fee as well based on their revenue that you take each month. And in return for that, they provide a whole set of marketing materials as well as training and ongoing support on an ongoing basis. So yeah, so it's actually pretty straightforward. The great thing about this franchise is that we have flexibility to be creative within their own space. So they give you the framework effectively and they of course some guidelines that you need to follow, but at the same time you do get a favorite flexibility. If you bought something like a McDonald's franchise, then I imagine you won't get a lot of flexibility because obviously it's very, very clearly defined and well restricted about what you can and can't make your own burgers there, right? Of course. But with our business, you are very much allowed to make your own books. For sure. It sounds like the best of both worlds. As I hear about it more, like the franchise model, it really does seem like you get a blend of autonomy, you get some support, you're not completely on your own, but you also have some independence. So related to the actual virtual assistant work, I also got to ask you Norma as someone myself and I think you and I have actually spoken about this before who struggles to delegate and carve off tasks, especially when it relates to the business that I've worked really hard to build. Can you explain how someone can tell if they could benefit by hiring a virtual assistant? Yes, so I think if you can sit down and think about it, everything that you're doing at the moment that you either don't have time for, which is really the starting point I think very many people is just the things that are always on your to do listening just don't get to do them. That's probably the starting point. Then the second part of that equation is probably the stuff that you do, but you just hate doing it. Because we all as business owners, including me, have a whole bunch of things that we just think I really could just do without doing this because it's taking you away from the things that you're really good at. So for example, if you have a business that is let's say pure company, the stuff that you do that's really going to bring your income and be your talents is doing the actual PR work. And there's a whole bunch of business related work that is not going to be the stuff that brings you income or joy or really add value to your clients. So I would start with that as a list of things that you could probably hand to someone else. And then I think the second part of your question that you mentioned there, Joseph is about letting go. But of the control piece, right? So I think from a control perspective, it is probably starting, I would say two things, probably, is find the right person for you because all VAs are not equal because different VAs have different skill sets and different talents. So some really specialized someone will generalist, but the second bit to that piece is that you have to make sure you find someone that really works very well with you. I think communication is the most key part of this. If you get to somebody that you get on well with, you can have an open conversation with if stuff doesn't work or works really well, then that's really good starting point because ultimately you want to be able to have such a good relationship that you are able to give them something and if it doesn't go right then you can have a conversation about why you wanted a different way. And I think start small is probably the last bit of advice that I would say there is like pick something that you feel if this goes a little bit wrong, it's probably not the end of the world and get a feel for each other and see how it goes and then build up from there. And that's typically how I think unless somebody's experienced in outsourcing work, then I would say just start small so that you start getting more comfortable and also start working out the relationship and making sure that you are clear about how to communicate with each other on how to get things done and so on. So that would be my advice. I'm just going through my list of things as invoicing came to mind for me. So, okay. Very interesting. You're not okay. It's on very many people's lists. Before we talk about some of the lessons you've learned along the way, I understand your spouse still works. Not only in the industry, but also at the firm where you used to work, what's it been like to, I guess, leave the corporate world behind, have a spouse who's still in the corporate world and be trying to build your own business. Does that ever enter into your psyche at all? There's very much those. So he's worked there a little bit longer than I have actually now. And he is, as you say, still there. And luckily, he is incredibly supportive to me in my journey and the changes that I wanted to make. So that's really very helpful. And very interested in what I do. So if I do need a second pair of eyes on anything, it's always very willing to help me. So I guess I'm really lucky it from that perspective. What is interesting for me though about the fact that he still is there is that I often hear some of the things that are going on because we have conversations about people moving or changes and all of those kind of things. But if there's anything in terms of the organizational changes of movement of people and all of those kind of things. And it really just makes me, I would say that he's happy that he's very happy there. So I think there's a major difference between where he is and where I was. But when he talks about it, it really just makes me feel incredibly grateful that I was able to make this change because it really has just put into sharp focus for me that that is not where I want to be. But it's two sided because sometimes there will also be some of the really good things that come with corporate life that I will then think about that I miss and that I have to start from scratch by myself to make sure that I get to a place where he was because particularly when it's

"Would you mind just taking me back to that moment because you mentioned you lost two friends in a fatal car accident? What exactly happened and what was running through your head after you found out? That they passed away. It's pretty horrific and I haven't really talked about it much so it still feels very raw. But two very good school Friends of mine and they were in the car together and they were a couple and we grew up together the school that we went to in that area. It's a very foggy area. I mean, visibility is pretty terrible, but I'm surprised that there's not more accidents even though they are a lot. It is in South Africa. In South Africa and I drove into the back of a big lorry basically a truck. So yeah, so it was a horrific shock. Obviously, because we were so focused on COVID at the time, you know, and we were kind of expecting people to get COVID and possibly pass away from COVID. And they both had it not long before that and came out the other side of it and we were so relieved and then gathered this happened so it was a big shock. You know, and then after that, I wasn't really recovered from that yet and maybe it was stressed as well, but I then had a big health scare as well. Just not long after that. And at the same time was returning to work from maternity leave. And frankly, the treatment from a corporate perspective when you're going through a lot of stuff like that, like returning from eternity leave is a big, big thing. I think a lot of people underestimate what it's like coming back all three year and having your whole life turned upside down, even if it's something that you really wanted. And then these other things happening as well as the health scare that I had. Yeah, it was really quite shocking how little room there is for people to be people and for people to go through things within an organization the size of the one that I was in. So they're all really put it into sharp focus for me that I just didn't want to be in a place where I was just effectively a number that would be treated the way that I was with all of this stuff going on, you know. On top of previously thinking, it probably was time for me to go anyway. It sounds like there's a lot going on there, Norma. You've got the birth of your first child. We've got COVID. You've got a health scare. A couple of your very good friends killed in a car accident. At what point did you actually make the leap to leave? Do you remember that day when you made that decision? It was actually February last year, about two or three weeks after this co accident, which I then decided this is really time that I need to go. And I thought I would give myself a year at that point to kind of spend a year saving a bit of money and really thinking through what's next for me. And then at that point in time, I was pretty determined that I would stick it out for a year to 18 months, probably. But then I got the health scare. So I was back at work from March for two months, and then I had to take time off. So I was then off effectively for pretty much the rest of the year. As I was thinking about what else to do and that's when the idea came to start this business. Because I just needed something that could be more flexible and something where I had a bit more control over things. So then I decided pretty much by July time last year I decided that it was really time to hand in my data soon, which I then did by November last year. So it's all pretty recent still. What exactly was the health scare if you don't mind talking in more detail about that? Because I know you've mentioned it a couple times and it sounds like it had a big impact on how you were thinking about your own life and what you wanted. It was a conditional called adenomyosis, which is a form of endometriosis. I think people are probably more familiar with our term. But it effectively is slightly different where the cells grow. And it's caused me to hemorrhage. So I had extreme bleeding for over two there was about three months in the end. Where I actually thought I'd probably something like uterine cancer. And I just come to terms to the fact that, well, I just had my baby not long before that. And we had tried for several years through many successful rounds of IVF to conceive her. So it was a really big turning point for me because I just thought I've just had my baby and now I'm going to die and I'm going to leave her without a mother. So it's a pretty big thing. Thankfully, all of the tests came back negative and it was I say just, I don't know my osis is pretty terrible condition as well, but it's at least not what I thought might be uterine cancer. At a time and it seems to be okay now and manageable now. Thanks for sharing that. I'm glad you've made a full recovery. And if it's okay with you, I'd like to kind of shift gears now and talk a little bit about the actual shift to doing your work as a VA and as a business owner at pink spaghetti. I know you mentioned before that you knew you wanted to be self employed. You wanted to run your own business. You want to be a business owner. How did that idea come up for you going from not knowing what you wanted to do to, hey, I'm going to look into VA work. So it was actually a friend of mine that suggested because at the time I thought, if I can't think of my own thing to do, what I might do is just do something part time because I thought the full-time hustle of being on the phone all the time just does not work. So I started putting feelers out and followed a Facebook group actually to look for flexible work. And on this Facebook group, pink spaghetti was advertising for more franchisees. And I thought this really looked like a great opportunity to me because not only can you get to start your own business, but as a franchise, and I don't think all franchises are equal, but as a franchise, you also get sufficient help to get you to set the business up. So you're really not starting from scratch. Because I was pretty terrified about starting my own business and really of the 16 years in a cool prison environment, really have no clue about where to start. So I kind of weighed up that I could probably start my own thing of some description and I just needed to decide what that was. And really kind of struggled to find my way around how to go about setting up a business and how to manage a business. But then when this franchise opportunity shouted up, I just thought this is a kind of perfect side of both worlds because it allows me to set my own business up and give me that autonomy and be able to run with my own saying plus get support from a fantastic organization who will show me the ropes effectively and be there from an ongoing perspective as well to provide support as and when needed. And it's almost like buying a business in a box effectively because you're not really not starting from scratch. It's all there, the branding is there, the business model is the term and but it does give you enough flexibility to do your own thing as well. So just kind of popped up on a Facebook feed. And I just thought this just looks perfect to me actually because it will give me kind of a bit of everything that I want. And this is fairly recent, so we're recording this in spring of 2022, and it sounds like this kind of came to its inception late 2021. How has the journey been for you so far? What's the good bad and the ugly? So far it's been really great. I mean, I say really great, but there's obviously when you start your own businesses or some downsides as well. So far, it's been great. The franchise that I bought into pink spaghetti has just been absolutely wonderful. I mean, the training has been phenomenal. The support that ongoing support is phenomenal as well. So this absolutely the right decision for me. It's stuff as well, because as you starting out, you know, I think you've spoken about this on your previous podcast as well is that you do lose a lot of your identity when you move away from an organization, especially if you've been in one place for a very long time. If you leave an organization a large organization then people of course associate you with that and that becomes part of your identity and it's recognizable. So if you tell people what

"Really thoroughly enjoyed. Most of my time though I would say in the latter part of my career was spent on phone calls. So when we eventually had to work from home with COVID, it really wasn't much of a transition because we all did a fair bit of flexible and hybrid working anyway in the organization. And even if we did go into the office, I would spend predominantly my day mostly just on the phone talking to various different people. Team members or clients or team members. It was all pretty much internal. So it would be internal. And I think this was part of the reason why actually eventually left. One of the many, many reasons, was that you would end up spending phone call off the phone call talking about meetings that you were going to have or meetings that you did have. And it was mostly just talking about meetings all the time. We're talking about things that should get done. But really very little in terms of actual work that I actually did myself within the last few roles that I held. And much of it was coordination and problem solving with other teams internally and making sure that they would delivering on projects that they had to deliver. But at the end of the day, really in terms of what I actually achieved or delivered myself, it was very, very minimal. I just spent most of my time on the phone talking to people and what they should do or should have done. So that was pretty much my life. And the you and I have spoken a few times before, and I think you know that I spent about a decade myself working in the corporate world. Did you find that the work you did earlier on in your career in more junior roles? Was more focused on the work itself compared to when you were at a more senior director level where it can be a bit more about stakeholder management or internal alignment building or as you put it meetings about upcoming meetings and maybe that's a bit of a leading question. But did you have that experience at all? Absolutely. And actually in hindsight, I really do ask myself sometimes where I would have taken a promotion when it was offered to me at the time because of course, as you're going into a career, you do want to progress. You do want to climb the corporate ladder when you're in a corporate environment. And you want to do better and comparing yourself with peers, you want to comparatively do well. And it was definitely something in the early part of my career that I absolutely wanted to do and really push myself to get as far as I could. But what I did find more rewarding was when I was actually in more junior roles and could actually deliver results and you could actually deliver projects and really be accountable for your own destiny and your own deliverables really because actually it was just much more about doing things and getting things done. And as you say, as you get more senior, you do just manage stakeholders and it does just feel like you're moving conductor in some respects as opposed to actually delivering anything. And some of that is fairly rewarding, but I do think that you get to a point where it doesn't feel like you ever really get that sense of achievement as much. Or I certainly didn't feel that way. Because I do really thrive from seeing actual results and if you're ending up just helping people pointing their signposting and pointing them in the right direction, it's easy to lose that kind of sense of really being able to make a difference or deliver anything of substance. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I definitely can relate to pretty much everything you just said where I felt like at more junior levels, oddly enough, although they always encouraged to get promoted and to advance in the organization. I actually found those roles to at times be more rewarding and satisfying because I was actually doing stuff rather than just managing the opinions of others. How did you come to your decision to eventually depart? I mean, I've been thinking for years that I would like to have my own business. But the sticking point for me was always in doing what. So I had this idea that I really did want to have my own business, but this could not think of the idea and I was kind of waiting for this great idea to hit me at some point so that I could start my own business. What was it about starting your own business that was appealing to you? I think just having the autonomy of making their own decisions for yourself in terms of where you want to head and not necessarily having to answer to somebody else and the one thing that really from a corporate perspective really negatively impacted me was the politics, the politics is just not something I cope with very well at all. I managed to look at in some respects, I would say, but I actually probably didn't seem very many otherwise. I didn't get on with it. And I absolutely did not enjoy it. I did not for a second enjoy politics within the corporate environment. So for a long time, I thought this is just really not the place for me. So I just knew that I needed to probably do something else. Yeah, so having that autonomy and actually just being really in charge of your own destiny to an extent was really something that drew me to having my own business. In a thinking about that big idea that people think that they should have when they start their own business or something really truly unique was the thing that really helped me back because I wasn't sure, but that might be. So I grappled with that for a very, very long time. Before I really decided to then eventually make the move. And then I think much like very many other people so I'm not unique in this space at all when I had my daughter in 2020 was right when we were in the pandemic, of course as well. I knew that once I went back to a corporate career, I probably would want to really make that shift fairly soon after that. And then, unfortunately, a few things happened, of course, in 2020 and 2021 that really made me push to really make that change. So we have the pandemic. And as you know, and that's really focused a lot of people's minds on what they wanted to do with their lives, I guess, because we all had this focus on what could happen. And then unfortunately, in last year, early last year, January last year, I lost two very good friends in a fatal car accident. So, along with that and really wanting to also make sure that I'm a good role model for my daughter because I wanted my daughter to feel or grow up thinking anything's possible and she

"My guest is going to share her story of relaunching her career as a financial services operations director to start her own virtual assistance business. We're going to talk about the tradeoffs of working for a large established organization and the dynamics of branching off on your own. Afterwards, I'll share my thoughts about how I get the help I need in my own career and life. Today I'm speaking with Norma kimber, who's a business owner and virtual assistant. After a varied start to her career, including office management and accounting software management, she moved to Brighton, England in 2003, then a couple of years later, she started a 16 year career at an international financial services company initially as an executive assistant. She took on several internal roles and promotions and ended her corporate career as a director of operational excellence. She then left the corporate world behind to start her own virtual assistant's business as a pink spaghetti franchisee. Now, Norma and I have crossed paths a few times in the past because she's joined some of my virtual firesides. And I've also personally chatted with her about some of her virtual assistant services when I was exploring the idea of hiring a virtual assistant myself. She shares some of the realities of not only leaving a full-time job behind, but also the impact it can have on your psyche when your spouse still works at the well-known global company you left behind. While you try to build your own business from the ground up, you can get all the show notes from today's episode at career relaunch dot net slash 86 Norma spoke with me from Brighton, England. Hello, Norma. Welcome to the career relaunch podcast. It is great to have you on the show. Hi, Joseph. Thank you for having me. I'm very happy to be here. I would love to talk with you first about just setting the scene and getting a sense from you of what is keeping you busy in your work and also in your life these days. In my life these days, my almost two year old is what keeps me most busy. I think it's most people with small children appreciate. Yes. And then with work, I have fairly recently started my own business. So building that up is really my main focus at the moment from a work perspective. I am also the parent of a very young child and I'm just wondering what's that balance been like for you between running your own business and also motherhood? It's, as you probably know, it is fairly challenging to manage a small child and actually starting a business. But it actually all came about at the right time because I think it would have been far harder to try and manage a corporate career with a small child. And at least I'm only answering to myself and my very selective clients as opposed to big corporate organization that probably doesn't really have that much. Sympathy for a small child needing your attention. I can definitely relate to the idea of the flexibility being invaluable once you become a parent and being able to control your own schedule. Also, can you just tell me where are you based and where are you originally from? So I'm based in the UK in Brighton of South London. And I'm originally from South Africa, but I've moved here in 2003. So it's almost been 20 years that I've been in the UK. And what originally brought you to the UK all the way from South Africa? I was very interested in traveling in Europe and Europe is a far away away from South Africa. So at the time when I came over, we had a working holiday Visa scheme. I was lucky enough to be able to come over on that and intention was to stay for two years, see a bit of Europe and then probably head back to South Africa. So but I made my husband here, not long after probably about three months after arriving here. And I just got stuck here, basically. It does happen. It does happen. Finally, before we go back in time, could you give me a snapshot of the work that you're doing right now at pink spaghetti? We will get into more details on that later, but just real quickly what's an average day for you right now? So it's very, very, then that's actually what really attracts me to this type of role. So it's a virtual assistant services business. And every day looks really different. Depending on what my clients effectively have on. So it will really raise from having a day of research or networking or general administration. Sometimes calls, luckily not too many calls. But every day looks very different, which is really what keeps me interested in doing it. So we're going to come back to the VA work, the virtual assistant work that you do. And I would love to get into more details on the exact types of tasks. You help people with. But before we do that, I know you haven't always been a business owner, and you haven't always been a virtual assistant. You actually spent 16 years working in the financial services industry. So I was wondering if you could tell me how you got started in that industry. I really fell into it more than anything else. When I moved over to the UK, the intention was as on the two year working holiday Visa to do fairly limited work and do traveling and the intention was really to end up going back, of course. But at the time, when I started there, I didn't really have an identity or idea of what I wanted to do. And I started initially as a temp, doing call center work. And then when I was hired as a full-time employee, I started as an executive assistant. So it's kind of gone full circle a little bit. And then I just work my way up to really through the business. So I moved from being a virtual assistant into a re-engineering type role. Doing a favorite of training on 6 sigma and process engineering type activity in the services industry. And then from there, eventually ended up in operational risk management. So it was really just a case of being there initiative was very happy. And it was an exciting place to be because there's a lot going on in the financial services industry. And I got to see a lot of the world traveling and lots of exciting things happened in my career in the financial services industry, but it was never really thought through or planned. That's why I kind of fell into it and then seemed to do pretty well and then just kind of carried on from there. So it was kind of more luck than anything else. You kind of just, I guess, climbed the corporate ladder for lack of better term and then you eventually became director of operational excellence at your company. What was that corporate life like for you when you were at director level in a large, multinational corporation? Could you just give me a sense of what your day to today experience was in that role? I would say what I liked about doing that role was having teams of people to manage. So I love working with people and working with my teams and being a team manager was really something

This is a software company tied in with finance. It positions there's marketing positions. It's all out there. So i just had to highlight out really quickly because i know this is our sole purpose but don't forget there plenty of opportunities here for you and clearly hiring managers that are willing to take a shot and look at your resume in weigh the pros and cons if you maybe don't have that experience or not great pointless. Yeah that's a great point and with any hiring partner that we work with vert force. We may be bringing forth the position. That's a best suit but don't ever exclude that company for other positions you can always look at them for other positions. Here's a question. I started the program.

Liz cheney adam kimber and others back the guy i think he got three percent of the vote. There were profiles multiple profiles on cnn. There's follow msnbc. There were newspaper profiles about the guy and he got what three percent of the vote. Maybe and then this happened and donald. Trump's candidate lost and the reason i explicitly pointed out again. It's not rub salt in the wounds. It's to point out the media. Narrative is that donald trump is on the rise again. Donald trump was coming back. Donald trump runs the republican party. Donald trump is in control of the republican party and republican voters do whatever donald trump says. That is what the media tells you on a daily basis. That is what margaret sullivan wrote in the washington. Post today where she calls on the media to stop being fair to both sides the republicans there. Donald trump's party now and they're authoritarian. Don't treat them fairly here. Come republican voters in texas. Donald trump has a candidate that he backs and the voters go with someone else. It it's the silence of the media. The silence they don't want to talk to you about the story. They've run the headline. And i'm sure they'll be there as well. You ready to politico government. The media is very good about taking a story and burying it so they can say well. We covered it. But you didn't cover lot you. And i both know exceedingly well exceedingly clear that if donald trump if his candidate had won the media would have run major front page stories in donald trump still controls the republican party in texas even his energy secretary lined up against with a candidate and lost the voters at texas chose donald trump.

Thanks for listening in. I'm so glad you're here today. Show okay here's the friend. One online course can offer you the chance for more personal and professional freedom. You don't need fifteen offers that his way too many. But maybe your last launch didn't go as well as you had hoped onto. You're considering adding another offer. Just to make up the revenue. This is a common thought that most people have when they haven't been happy with the results from their past product or course launch. It's okay you are delone. This is what most of my agency clients. tell me. They are considering on our initial discovery. Call it kinda makes my skin crawl in reality for most people. It takes a few launch attempts to get into your course launch rhythm. Or that's what i call it anyway because when everything aligns your messaging your content plan your launch strategy and your cells results it feels really good to launch your course or product. When you are in rhythm you can enjoy the process. Instead of fearing a launch or going into it was sweaty palms hoping and praying. You hit your cells goals you instead confidently approached your course launch like beyond say stepping onto the red carpet. Come on can you picture it for my clients and launched our coaching students. They find their rhythm much faster. Because i hope them leverage a pre launch campaign and by pre launch campaign. I mean the period of time. You start warming your audience up to the idea of your product or service before you're ever offering it for sale. I recommend starting your prelaunch campaign a minimum of thirty days prior to your open cart date if you launching for the very first time i recommend sixty to ninety days because while your audience just needs more time to build trust if we were to jump on a call or now to dissect what went wrong in your previous launch. I have a hunch it would come down to one of the following note. My hunch is based off of building over one hundred and fifty funnels at this point and helping my clients go from zero to six figures in just a few months so this hunch is based off of what i have seen from turning launch flops. Into profitable ones okay. So what went wrong in the past would probably come down to low amount of traffic for a previous client. Her conversion rates were above average. But she didn't have enough traffic in her traffic system in place which meant she was always selling to the same people every time she launched she forgot to create a system to consistently attract new leads. Another problem i often see is messaging. That is one reason. I created my social media content planner freebie that gives you forty three days of instagram captions to make pre-selling generating buzz and building trust. Easy peasy if. I have time i will share more about that free resource later. But if you are preparing for an upcoming launch the caption prompts will help you to plan or content an hitch. Your revenue goals a whole lot easier. You can grab it at lisbor dot com forward slash episode. Twenty nine now. The last problem that comes up is that the pre launch period was skipped or grazed over which only hurts your credibility and sales because your audience gets confused. When all of a sudden you are opening the doors to something brand new and you haven't done the job to talk about it. Build trust or generate. Any sort of buzz and your audience hasn't had enough time to plan. Consider or get excited about your upcoming offer. Think about it. This way amazon. Prime day amazon sellers begin talking about the sales that are coming weeks and months in advance of actual prime day. People get hit up for the two day sale so much though that win the day rolls around. Most people already have their checkout cart full of goodies. How would it feel to have your audience. Any buying mindset before your offer is ever for purchase amazing right this is what a prelaunch campaign provides if piqued her interest. You might be wondering well. Liz how the heck do i create a successful prelaunch campaign. So let's go over that now. First let's talk about the purpose. A prelaunch campaigns goal is to create a specific segment of people that have expressed interest in the topic of the offer. You are about to sell. We know we can't control all of the messaging our audiences from us on social media and we don't own our followers so a dedicated email list that you own using an email service provider like number. Kit is going to be the best place to house. This segment of leads okay. I know what you might be thinking. You might be linking i get it but how powerful can as civic segment of people who have raised their hands high in the air interested in your offer be if they can't buy it just yet. So reducing stats. When most people launch an offer to their email list they can expect to convert at a rate of about one to two percent. That's industry average when my recent client took the time to build a dedicated a list of people interested in her topic before opening her doors when she sold to this list. Her conversion rates increased to seven point seven percent. So if you want to build a highly qualified list of your perfect customers right before you launch invite people to join your mls using one and one only specific entry level offer. That solves one problem and delivers one very very various specific result. The topic of this free resource must be related to your course or product offer a webinar or challenge works in various successfully as a free resource. But you could use downloadable as well inside of your email service provider you are adding those that opt in to a unique list and optionally you can add tag that classifies them as a lead for your topic. This way you build a list of hot leads for your offer. The goal is to grow this list as large as you can remember. Going back to the stats. We talked about earlier on average industry. Averages tell us that your email list will kimber at about a one. Two percent conversion rate but the more qualified your segmented list of people is the higher and more likely your conversion rates will be which means if you are trying to hit a specific revenue goal or number of students inside of your programs when you open the door. Just work backwards. It's all about the.

I thought those back-to-back threes in the second half where the key moment of this game that gave the Celtics are multiple possession. We that they ultimately had to the rest of the game there. Once they hit those became a rebounding back the rest of the way. I thought the Celtics are pretty Dreadful on the boards for most of this game and show it to you guys. Robert Williams came in and made all the difference there. He was a rebounding machine as he has been for most of the Season change, but on camber, I mean, what are we talking about at this point? I ten games now somewhere between eight to ten games in a row where he is been himself at the very least. Maybe not home. Most exceptional definitely not his lower rung of production somewhere in between. You know, he's been steady. He's been fairly consistent. I'd say double-figure scoring every single game now four or eight straight games his last one was the seven point out against Utah, you know a few nights off in between a few months or games off of those nights off 25-28 32,000 see when he's fresh when he's well-managed at this point.

One time you mentioned Alzheimer's, of course, and hey, was so courageous. In his battle with Alzheimer's very forthcoming about it, and it was just Remarkable that he could do so and I found it remarkable that he did the final tour. And everyone knew he had Alzheimer's. And was it I believe I was around around 2012. I think. I think, itwas Yeah, I don't know the day back like, yeah. Yeah, very great family. I mean, we do have some some of that footage that plays in the museum as well and just amazing. And you know, I have to give a major credit Tonto Cashley, Especially because actually was sort of like the backbone. You see her back behind gland playing banjo. You see Glenn struggling with some lyrics, and then has she would sort of Expect to him or singing out behind them, and it was just it was just really amazing. It is to watch the family work together, especially when you had all the family had Cal Shannon and Ashley up on stage with gland. It was just Just amazing. Yeah, I just thought that was so remarkable that he did is goodbye tour and it was so up front about it. I think that probably did a lot to raise awareness. A Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's. That means anybody can Can get it. And hey, did really you know you mentioned occasionally had to be prompted a little bit, but from I think I watched part of some performances, parts of performances along the way. He did pretty well. He really did. You know, he still had it. Yeah, Absolutely. Absolutely. It's amazing. Can you have you had a chance to watch the documented all be me, I think I I think I've seen parts of it. Yeah, I don't think I've seen the whole one. But I've seen parts of it and that I think that's where I saw some of the performances that he did. And it just, You know, I can't. I can't believe it that you know, I think he really shone a spotlight on Alzheimer's and Maybe brought, you know broke down some stigma to it as well. Absolutely absolutely. It's gonna make a new documentary. I'd like you to check that out you and you could probably find a lot of stuff. I don't know if you visited our Glen Campbell Museum, the website. Yeah. Okay. Good. You could take the virtual tour to obviously you're gonna get a chance to see the place. The virtual Tak tourist is pretty close to what we ended up with which is pretty nice here. You mentioned earlier that you were working that he the facility, the Alzheimer's facility. He stayed in and you're you know, you're the owners. Connection with that with his father in a position. Do you guys still work with them in any way or are any Alzheimer's organization? You mean work with Abe? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they're they're part of our components, basically, not directly. But you know, with Mike thrilling that operates that its course. 51 c three and because of that. A portion of proceeds from all of our sales. Go toc a garden. Okay. Wow, that Z. Fantastic Because I'm you know, obviously, that You know, he shone a light on that and now he died in 2017 at the age of 81. Right? Yeah. So after his tour e, you know he lived for 55 more years after its too. Of course, I'm sure. You know, it went downhill obviously is Alzheimer's takes an effect, but, um, you know, I'm still I'm just amazed that you know the light that he's shown on that horrible, horrible disease and was just so so open about it, too. Um, I have to. Yeah. Yeah s o. The museum is is open again. And what do you have Any events planned coming up in the future? I know you have the right stone stage. But as covert, of course, is his hamper to some. Do you have anything else on the horizon? Well, of course, I mentioned really about very started that have committed to doing something just when it's safe, you know, because those kind of eventually would like to do it all for tickets to the public, you know, rather than just doing a live in kind of thing. But we do have a thing with Trinity putting out the end of July called Southern Nights on the very songwriters that will come and perform from the stage, of course. Right now, we would be doing limited so at the end of July, and I don't know the exact date, but which is that people watch for? We'll just do it to a limited amount of tickets like 75 tickets. You know, just so we have social distancing in place as well. And we do serve like very light. Uh, food and beer, wine and some select Liquors too well for the events. Knows Because you'll have to come out. Come out for the good time. Our Oh, yeah. Exactly Good. Happy hour. I should say there you go. The good time our followed by Southern nights. Another big hit you get You guys have wrapped it all around there. You're using the name of the song titles Very, very well. It sounds like Yes, Absolutely. Yeah. Other artifacts in the museum of somebody goes do you have? Do you have specific exhibits that rotate are the permanent exhibits pretty much? Well, obviously what we want. We want visitors to experience everything that's in there right now, before we do a rotation, But we will be rotating everything. But there's something you would like that. You know some things like his first guitar history of Bill's Town. We will want to keep a lot of that stuff but something we'll start rotating some things in and out because we do have tourists that seem to come back once a year, once every two years, So we'd like to give them something. Little bit different here and there, of course, with us having evening shows it would draw people in to the Glen Campbell museum Rhinestone stage anyway, because they might Able to see an artist like and I'm not saying they've committed to anything but, you know, again, skill. Keep serving people who actually honored Glenn and attribute maybe something. It's mint on our stage. That was fantastic. Those were always great concert. We see someone you know you don't see him up on the stage of full band. You get to see him. Intimate sitting. It's something that's very memorable. So you can't beat that. Yeah. I would be remiss if I didn't touch on your own career in music. You were in Berlin, a great band with the number of hits Talk about that. How did how did you get involved with that? Well, it's uh, I had a reversal studio in Anaheim, California, and this is like what 79. But it had was probably from her office and that in and I was looking at sub left the place, and, uh, there's a group of local group called the Toys, and there were four piece band. John Crawford, Ty Cobb, Damn Van Patten and Crisp Velasco. And so they basically came in and they shared the rent. They rehearsed name the band I had at the time. We would play a club like Cuckoo's Nest in the toys would open up. Eventually, the toys changed his name to Berlin, and they drop down dead. I believe that three piece and then little by little and evolved into having the girl singer. Yeah, And one day John has he said, Listen, we're looking for a guitar player. Um would you mind maybe is your rehearsal student? Could you maybe run sound forces in the favor and that way the band we could focus on listening to these guitar players are gonna be auditioning. I said Absolutely so. Just back behind the board. Running things is John and Terry and in David would bring in various Guitar players. And I guess there was some period of time where one of the audition ease did not show up. So John could sense that people were starting Get a little bit lazy. So sit here. No, This isn't really your thing that's going to get up here and jam with us. Just like to keep everybody going. So Absolutely so. I got up there and they start playing the song called. Tell Me Why.

No Kemba Walker Spells Danger for the Celtics
"Me if the Celtics don't have a healthy Kemba Walker by February 1st during major trouble like making kiss. This is a good by going deep in the playoffs. They got no chance you lose Hayward and then you're going to lose Kemba I get you get Tristan Thompson's great as as a auxiliary. Peace, but I I don't think it gives you a much different than what Daniel theis does. He gives you a toughness it gives you a rebound and gives you an athletic hard work and forward, but but it's not like either one of those guys. You can't neither one of them are scores. No, but they don't need a score of their know if they you know, if they if they don't have Kemba, I don't have Kimber. Yeah, right. I know right? Well, that's that's my big issue is if you don't have Kimber Kemba needs to be he's gotta be your number two guy Tatum's clearly your number one now. I don't think anybody would argue with that. But Kim is gotta be your number too. And if they don't have him you go from Kim, but it's Jeff Teague. And again, we didn't see a healthy Kimball last year. We remember Kimba as man. He just wasn't very good in the postseason you forget Charlotte Kemba and if you have Charlotte came up to me, then this team has a chance to come out of the East without Charlotte Kemba. All right, so I agree with that but I still don't think they're disaster. I think there's still a good team good team. Are you better I mean if it were just trying to invalid and prorating how many W's with a truncated season if it were an eighty-two Game season, I'm Kemba Walker. Could be a 45 6:20. Yeah. Yeah, I would I would agree with that but looking at it now without camp for half the year. Let's say let's say he doesn't come back until February 1st. So he's going to miss 2 months of a 72 game schedule. So what's that a third of the year? No not too much six weeks because they're starting on the 23rd of December. Okay, so often so just so I don't have any, you know, the I mean, I don't want to start trying to do math in my head. That's so humorous five weeks five six weeks probably, you know before he gets a hundred percent. He maybe maybe too much but they're going to come back to schedule. So at least 15 games. I'm sure this is why the Jeff Teague signing was so important. Oh it was I was a terrific signing and if I can put him doing what he should you know, how long we know who he is, you know, we know what it is and he's it's a high quality of such a high-quality auxiliary piece. He's a very useful auxiliary teasing. You're right. If you're going to make him a if you want to elevate him into a starter and a guy to your depending on then that's a different matter. But using him the way he said they projected, you know, that was an excellent pick up, you know, so but let's go through Bob without without a healthy camera. Tell me if they're better than any of these teams. Okay with our healthy Kim but like like a 90% Kemba ready Milwaukee. No. Toronto No the Nets. We don't know probably find Miami now clearly not know we go down there. Yeah, Philadelphia Phillies a mystery guest now, we think they saw that they they've done what they need to do. We think. All right. Let's see but I cuz I thought it would suck. Yes. I mean, yeah, I think seven Indiana is better without Kemba. Okay. So you got you got one more to throw in the mix Home Improvement team, but you know as Atlanta they're going to read during pooped on paper. The good thing is the good thing is even without camera there probably a lot for the play-offs but they you're talking about seven problems. I agree. Well, that's you know now why that's true. So I think we can agree on

Good conditions it's great It was very breezy and on the chilly side yesterday. Obviously not Florida are rolling their eyes at US saying that it's cool but it feels different when it gets colder down in Florida will definitely say that. But it's gorgeous. Today it's going to be low. Seventies son is out a little bit less windy than yesterday as well. Let's start with the Fountain of Youth. That will be the final of the fourteen races on this Saturday program. Twelve horses are entered. There was some conversation about chance it potentially coming out because of the outside post position As of just a little bit ago I think he is still in so some decisions yet to be made but twelve horses set to go. How did you see this one? Yeah he is still and he does have until forty five minutes before the race as is the protocol for Great. It's so he's got some time There was one scratch just of the number two horse in there but This is a tough race chance. It's been really impressive. And Ultra talented and and obviously Fun Horse to watch down here but I did go with the Horse. That actually finished second to him in the Home Watch. Oh man and that is as you know on. Tv For Kelly Brian. I just thought that this course who I had not actually seen him physically before leading into that last race and he really showed me. Both in the flesh needs performance that he was the type that could handle the stroud and distance effectively. I think he's drawn well and he's going to be really tough. Obviously done this moment. It's going to take a lot of attention. Chance it as well and those are some good horses but I'm GonNa land on as seen on TV seen on. Tv Ninety two on the morning line has been extremely consistent. You mentioned the forest arts. Two wins two seconds and that runner up in the mutual macho man last time to to under pokka. Lopez here this afternoon. I'd like to spend more time talking with you about some of the other contenders but in the interest of time here this morning. Let's move on to the race. For the three year old girls we don't want to neglect the phillies The Dow is race number ten one mile on the main track. It will go right around that four o'clock eastern time. Yeah this is an exciting race. You've got tunnel shape city outside Saffy. Joseph's junior has obviously really burst onto the scene this year with the likes of math wizard and then of course potential Derby contender and Chan said and he's also got affiliate that Again is undefeated and turned out to be the first graded stakes winner for Tony. Lists and sire and she even though she's been so impressive it does kind of feel like even in this race that she still has a little something to prove. It'll be interesting I think that the race really revolves around the todd. Pletcher Philly in spices nice. I mean she was just a monster in her debut and I spoke to todd yesterday and he said that she was the phillies but they obviously really had high hopes for given the purchase price and her breathing out of the Dorsey and she not only showed up in her debut. But I watch pretty much all of her recent workouts at Palm Beach downs and I spoke to todd about this too and that she's been training for the most part with some of the really highly touted colts and his part including the point. Who was really well tipped out market analysis. Just some very talented horses. That have won first time out. And she's been training with the colts. A Lotta Sense. Kinda dwarfs inside too. She's a very very big Philly but she has a nice way of moving and they taught it said that was a way of them kind of testing. Just how good is she? And she's really responded to retest. Yeah that I start. She dominated her maiden race on January twelve. She won by twelve ran away from the field. That probably could have been more if they wanted it to be. That was at the same one mile distances. Today's Dimona del Was there a obviously? She was the favourite that day ACACIA but was a palpable buzz around spices. Nice when she walked into the paddock that day there was and you know she would not necessarily be the type of horse that I would pick out in a lineup Just face off of you know looks for a Horse. That would win first. Came out like I said. She's very big she by curl and She has kind of a long stride along next to her and I thought that she was going to win. But I was almost wondering puts. You need a race which you need to turn. And she's just so talented that she was almost kind of able to overcome. Maybe not looking like the precocious sharp I out type of winter so I thought that was really interesting as well. And and obviously this is going to be a tougher spot going right into graded stakes company but think that she is really one of the box. Office potential superstars on the undercard today. And I'm excited to see her. I also use underneath though in Second. I use five reluctant bride. Who I think is good and I like her switching to stay. She's got dirt pedigree and I spoke to Patrick the cone the other day and he said he tries a lot of his horses that he thinks are good. On the turf I F. A. Indian and sold allante being perfect examples and He says he thinks it's an easier trip. And then you switch them to dirt and that just might be where they're most comfortable and that's what he's doing with this one today who just closed so impressively in her first race. And I think that she's got some ability to talking with ACACIA. Courtney from Gulfstream Park here on the Horse Racing Radio Network Again Fountain of Youth Day Fourteen races. We have time to look at one more case you have about a minute or so. Just over that for we have to get to the next segment The Gulfstream Park Mile is race number. Twelve another big field.

I think he's GonNa be a big improvement for him today. And I think that it's kind of always flies under the radar is how Creek Hustle. He's actually my top picks some paddock school the other day for Vicki Foley. I think he's actually going seven furlongs. One Turn My. Oh which is what he gets today. just a side note. It's the treat to see Pegasus World Cup runner up MR freeze back. And he'll turn back and distance as well for for Dale Romans who could potentially have a big day. Yeah it could be a huge day for Dale and ACACIA. Has a very busy day ahead of her. So we'll let her go. Acacias squeezed me in this morning. I appreciate you taking a few minutes.

It's about CDs that are very concentrated to make the city you know name off of of engagement with food as a whole and it's understand the agriculture the two in the way of the put me as a way of leaving intangible Cultural Harry touch at the same time. It's a moment also to speak about the two billion people that do not have regular access to save nutrition food. We are talking talking about one third of all food produced globally that is wasted so if we can see that's huge and that's Twi we want to have this dialogue exchange experiences and good practices to see how we can be more efficient in what we are talking when when Westbrook you're GonNa want food and culture and I want to dive into the creative cities network a little bit and this is this is kind of fascinating essentially cities are using astronomy me as a way of promoting the SDG's or achieving the SDG's is that correct and if so what might this look like on the ground. Maybe you can give us an example of one of the cities and what they're doing. Yes right now you have more than hundred and eighty. CDs Of Creativity of which twenty six is city of gastronomy. We have in all continents. Yes and that's very important in China Sweden. I don't Japan Brazil and Italy sure and the city what they are doing. Ah trying to do is finding innovative ways of capitalizing for one side the traditions and also the contemporary creativity in the the area food what they trying to achieve east understand that food is not what he served in a plate. That's the end. The process is how a whole city understand. That food is around the economic growth but also it's part of the density of the community is the way that they redefine. What is the heritage and transform it in some contemporary way of live. It's not accidental that we do it. In Parma I mean when you think about Obama is one of the place in Italy where there's the most most big industries around buster for one example but he lays there but at the same time is where a lot of local product I coming from and what they have been achieving for more than ten centuries used to preserve the way to make food the same way that they did it four hundred hundred years and it's incredible when you think that you could do these things more industrial way and they continue to do it because they want to be ensuring that the product is the same that was create for more than hundreds and hundreds hundred of us and that's great because if you think only in the economical point of view you will achieve and and what we're trying to show show is how you can build development. We don't losing the traditional way of doing things wonderful. So are you optimistic about the ability to balance say sustainable food processing consumption while respecting cultural identity we asked you death is initials. We think that the only way that the true we see with the good practices where these things are putting place if we see what it means to the communities what it means to to the show social cohesion to their transformation and we see that sustainable development is part of this path the other way we know the result we are looking the results we are going through right against the wall and seeing that for new generation at the end will be how we manage to give new generation a way of living that it's contemporary it's more. Dan We not talking about this but where we respect our tradition way eh of producing food and to be ensuring that what we have to build around this is a dialogue between cultures ways of of of of respecting the environment and to bring to our table the best food that we can and the best quality we we dealt wasting a lot of what we are doing right now and perhaps we'll be better society in the future and more aw good example for children. What is important is by culture. Is the best diplomacy that we know and we think food can be one of the great parts to follow. Oh Great. Is there a particular place whether that's food processor consumption where we are failing the most and where where can we improve the most in terms of food and culture in relation to sustainable development. I think that there's room everywhere in each in each case you have examples of to do things better and implemented we have to do and the only way to do is to share at the end of this phone. What we want in the next month is that's how we gonNA build a map of what has been discussed and to showcase all the good practices that we have the last years to to to share with with the member states and to find ways how we can all these experts community participants to go and make capacity-building custody building also in some regions that want that need that are asking us how to manage some of these issue and sometimes uh-huh can help a whole society to change wonderful that was going to be my final question. Is What's the biggest takeaway from this and maybe you could expand a little bit beyond next month. What what does UNESCO hope to gain at the end of this what we wanted also to do is have on November kimber nineteen November here in Paris the forum of Minister of Culture after twenty one years the last one took and when it the issue is that we want to share also everything that happened in the last not twenty one because to management in the last yes about some some of the forum on some of the issue that are part of the disease but has no no goal associated. I have some I'm part of the goal to see if we are able also to propose for few in next year's some transfers items in culture that we all member states we are able to share as a break point in the actress situation about development spent one of the results that we hope that we've come up these forum to can present some documents that can happen to understand that it's a global issue and not a particular issue for North Countries or South countries.
Collider Movie Talk
Phoenix, James Mcevoy And Captain Marvel discussed on Collider Movie Talk
"This first story is about dark Phoenix. And last summer, we learned the dark Phoenix was going back to Montreal for re-shoots. But sources told us at that time that contrary to reports a whopping three months of additional photography. That's a lot right there. They were simply going back for two and a half weeks of re-shoots on the third act of the movie. However, now we're finding out that, that might not. Have been the case in April. We found out the dark Knicks, the dark Phoenix ending was being changed in re-shoots from a space setting to a climax that finds the X men kidnapped and on a military train. Now, we've got James McEvoy telling Yahoo UK that the ending was changed because it was too similar to another superhero. Movie, here's the exact quote the end of dark v. Necks changed a hell of a lot the finale head to change. There was a lot of overlap and parallels with another superhero movie that came out a while ago. And we had no idea that we were dot dot dot com. Trailed off their you know the quote just ended. So let's jump into this, but before I even ask for your opinions, we gotta check the live chat, because there are a lot of people chiming in on whether or not they're planning on even seeing dark, Phoenix. David Jordan, Darrow says got my tickets already reviews. Don't stop me from seeing any DC or marvel movie has called for twenty said got mine. I ten minutes they went on sale. Sale. Kyle Johnson says I'll probably get my tickets next week going in cautiously optimistic. So back to that, quote now what movie do you think James McEvoy was referring to is pretty obvious was captain marvel especially when we talk about the difference in design of dark Phoenix, Jean grey taking away, making less flamy more different in that approach? So it seems to imply plus the train sequence we saw in captain marvel we have that in the trailers, and of course in the movie as well. So maybe there was a lot of that involved here as well. Trying to take away any kind of reference to cap the most he was the most obvious choice. Yeah. Especially when you consider the change in the setting of the third act to from cosmic to on a military train moving away from the cosmic aspect, and that's the thing that before Jeff Thompson here. I don't know if I buy this explanation to be honest with you have a couple of sources who saw this movie early cuts move in March of twenty eighteen and they tell me that the ending was already on earth. So I don't know if this is their way of. Hey, we pitched you space movie, but we had to change it because of that. And so now it's on the ground, I wonder if they're doing a little PR to cover their butts. I don't know. But it seems odd to me that they would say, oh, we're just gonna put it on the ground. Now. We don't want it to be Spacey when people had seen in the first an early cut of this film, and it was already on the ground in front of a certain monument in New York. So I dunno. I thought it was aqua man now there it is. Yeah. I you know, are you signing that sarcastic? It's nice. I don't know what the original ending was. I don't know what the new ending is other than it's on a train. I have no idea what movie could. All right. So even though we don't know specifically how dark Phoenix is going to end nor should we really right now before we even see the movie another question that comes from the story is should a movie even be changed for this reason. Because to me, it sounds like oh, hey. Maybe they should have taken a little more time to develop the story creatively so that you don't run the risk of having. Other movies out there being too similar to your own. That's a good point. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like we saw two different asteroid movies, we've seen to differ Truman Capote moves. It doesn't matter. It's about quality. Can you deliver the goods, even though the you may vote another movie? I don't think it really matters. It's a matters. Can you do it? Well, that's what as at the end of the day, a lot of movies have seen that feel similar to other movies, but they do a distinctly different and make it work with the organic structure of their movie. So I, I don't think it's a way to change things. Dark Phoenix was originally slated to come out before captain marvel anyway, right? So it's like they kind of had they beat captain marvel tha that ending. So why did they switch you know they don't think it's train. Yeah. Something, something doesn't add up to me. And this goes back to Jeff Snyder, the reporters number one rule for being a reporter, which is don't believe anything in actor tells you don't know anything. Well. To be fair. There's there's no to being there to James McEvoy. Things that were debating right now, whether or not their true aren't the specific things that James McEvoy pointed out and said the finale had to change. He was in saying, you know, we changed it from the cosmic thing to the, the trains. Right to stick to maga- voice, quote. I am of the mind that if it is, too similar than than. Yeah. I'm okay with a change. I'm okay with them thinking we have to change this differentiate ourselves in distinguish ourselves in the marketplace, particularly not being a movie that's going to do as well as captain marvel. If that is, in fact, the movie that we're talking about here. So I'm I am sensitive to those creative issues and I don't blame Kimber for wanting to go back and tinker with it. But yeah, I'm with you John, that a lot of this. This is just so much PR on the entire X men franchise, including the next film, which we'll talk about soon, which I don't really fault them at because this is a lame duck superhero film, none of these actors are going to come back and play these characters again, in the MC you Disney and Disney marvel trying to recoup as much as they can from this film. So they're doing this PR pushing I wouldn't put it past someone like McEvoy or fast bender to, like, okay, I'm going to speak about. These are the points. We'd like goes to hit. Okay. I'll do it as part of the PR programs. Part of promoting the movie. No prob. Problem. But I don't fault them. They want to make as much as possible gonna talk about new means a little bit. Same thing. They're just on recoup as much possible for they move on. I got. No. I don't fault them. I just wish I just think people can see through this.
