New Episode: Public Speaking Tips to Raise Authenticity & Lower Stress with Sara Glancy. " I always love seeing a pause on stage. To me, that's not the sign of a rookie speaker. That's usually an advanced speaker because they're not afraid to take their space and take their time. And you'll, you'll see this too. So if we are asked a question and then someone takes a full inhale before they start answering, 'cause this is another soapbox of mine.

We don't breathe, and breathing really helps us when we are doing public speaking. One of the secondary definitions of inspiration, the word inspiration is inhalation. So if you are not breathing, you cannot get inspired. Yeah. If you've ever had that deer in the headlights moment where you can't remember your next slide, or the next thing you wanted to say, nine times out of 10, it's because you are holding your breath."

Earlier this year, an SEO professional, let me pick her brain on how to navigate the sometimes-tricky task of getting your Google Business Profile verified. Nikki Kimura of Web On Point SEO tells all in this video recording of our discussion where we talk about "Tips for Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners to Get Your Google Business Profile Verified."

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Boyega Ajayi of Bolton Advisory Group in a mastermind group I'm a part of and nerding out on branding and how it affects the value of a business. He is a business coach and advisor who particularly focuses on helping business owners map out an exit strategy or succession plan. Watch the video of our talk at https://www.hustlewithaloha.com/

Boyega understands the value of branding when it comes to the financial strength and resilience power of a business - and actually has ways of translating that into business valuation concepts. As you can imagine, we had way too much fun talking about this topic and I'm so excited to share a video recording of us doing just this! Boyega went above and beyond by also creating a follow-up whitepaper for me to share as well that touches on the topics we chatted about, which you can find on the blog at https://www.hustlewithaloha.com/

I just uploaded a video of a great discussion I had with Brandon Halbert, owner of Halbert Insurance Services, to pick his brain on questions that small business owners might have about getting health insurance as an individual or for their employees. He is an independent insurance agent, meaning he is not incentivized to push clients towards any one insurance provider. Instead, he is passionate about connecting the right business owner with the right plan(s) for them. His focus is on Group and Individual Health Insurance. Head over to HustleWithAloha.com to check out the video and see which of his nuggets of advice might be helpful for you! Halbert Insurance Services, LLC https://www.hustlewithaloha.com/events
