Election anxiety? Turn off the news and pick up your phone! ?? Every vote matters and you can help encourage turnout in swing states. I spent a few hours phone banking with SURJ today – here's the first key tip from their training: have people articulate in their own words why this election/voting matters and what's motivating them to vote. Why? Motivation is most effective when it's intrinsic. Whether you're phone banking, texting friends and family, or posting on social, encourage people to share their why. So – what's YOUR why? Here's a link if you'd like to sign up to make calls tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/g6nHM5Zn

???? Captain of my first phone bank! Dialing in to support voters in this consequential and overwhelming time was everything: voices ready to make a difference, the gratitude of volunteers sharing crucial info, and yes—the inevitable hang-ups and “hostile” conversations because, well, humans ??. I may speak to thousands for a living, but this one struck a new chord. Tech Q’s? Nope, not my lane! But guiding folks and joining in this highest civic calling - I got that! As peers, colleagues and work friends, we all have ways to make an impact beyond our day-to-day roles. Our voices and time can influence the future of our teams, industries, and communities. Do you have a plan to help shape what comes next? Here’s a checklist to get started: ?? Do you have a voting plan? ?? Do you know where your polling site is? ?? Are you informed about your local ballot? ?? What are your early voting options? Visit Vote.gov to ensure you’re ready to vote on or before Tuesday.

Access to financial resources is essential for empowering individuals and communities, fostering economic growth, and promoting equity. Initiatives aimed at creating more inclusive banking systems are vital for leveling the playing field and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. I support programs that address these challenges and help to bridge the gap. By investing in financial education, tailored banking services, and community engagement, we can build a more equitable financial landscape for all. Let’s continue to advocate for systemic change and uplift the voices that are often overlooked. Together, we can create a future where access to banking is a right, not a privilege. #FinancialInclusion #Equity #CommunityEmpowerment #BankingAccess

Don't Sample the Kool Aid, There's No Free Lunch For those lacking an attention span, this is in one segment. Way back about 6/21/24, I say way back because it depends on what you have been doing or have been subjected to in the interim, I was in Walmart looking at designer clothing, high dollar furniture, and expensive jewelry , actually getting dog food, when this dude, we'll call him Greg, asked me if I wanted a free phone.?Greg said he was representing Walmart and his company, Premier Corporation, I believe, in a promotion involving Walmart, AT&T, and Verizon??Being skeptical, I posed a few questions and Greg's responses were immediate, positive, and quite attractive.?For example, he said I could get four lines with AT&T or Verizon for $90 a month, that I could get four iPhone 15 Pro Max phones for free, and that the service would be 'unlimited talk, data, and test'. While this sounded a bit far-fetched and even suspicious, I gave the silver-tongued devil the benefit of the doubt and took a sip.?It has now been (7/5/24) over two weeks and while the numbers were ported over to Verizon and I received a plain iPhone 15, this has been an absolute?nightmare, nothing else has materialized and won't.?Instead of $90 a month, the cost will be $205, the phones are certainly not free, there is a monthly cost for each for some three years.?The promotion, contrary to Greg's snake oil presentation, does not include the 15 Pro Max series without additional costs.?Greg disappeared from the scene after telling me I would receive at least $1000 for my time and trouble and then an attractive woman was sent to pacify me, but I remain unpacified. This , the unfinished product, the progeny of the crossing of a Chinese cluster screw and an Oklahoma goat roping has wasted at least 45-50 hours of my time hanging out in Walmart, from whom I've asked for a logo shirt, to hours on the phone with Verizon, and a wasted 65 mile round trip to a Verizon store where I told the clerk what I had been told, and I thought he (masculine pronoun without permission) expected me to follow up with "Take me to your leader."?But he didn't ask and we don't have one, so there. I called the pinhead's parent company several times and no one would speak with me.?I was eventually given a name and was told he (masculine, again) would call me, and I am so glad I didn't hold my breath.?It appears these folks are disreputable, have little to no decency, no real concept of honesty, and push the envelope as far as accuracy, candor, and propriety.??Other than that and a tendency to embellish to the point of mendacity, they seemed like nice enough folks and are believed to be good cooks. Current plans are to invest another few hours to returning to my previous carrier, to diss these mendacious pinheads on Yelp, Facebook. LinkedIn, and with the BBB, for a start.?Right now it's Octopus 3, Don 0.

When your Wallet Matches your WHY it's a lot easier to see the process... Shauna switched up her business by aligning her spending with her business values. Two huge steps? - Cutting out services that didn't fit with the long term vision - Memberships, platforms, technology... - Hiring a stateside VA Crazy enough, she spent a lot of time guiding her VA to do specific things for her. And just about EVERYTHING resulted in questions. It ate up so much time and energy. So she switched to a stateside VA who understood her business and could take the initiative. Bam. 23% expense CUT! Yep, cutting some costs AND paying someone stateside to do the thing vs all the extra hours of inefficiency was CHEAPER than what was happening. Does your business spending reflect yoru business vision? What chanes are you going to make?
