Dining Out, Partying for a Cure and Mentoring Entrepreneurs

Share the goods.

I love being able to see Shelley Irwin once a month for our morning show segment, Your Biz, Your Town. As always we had some amazing guests and as always I am recapping the segment and giving you the opportunity to get involved!

The Guests:

Jandernoa Entrepreneurial Mentoring

“Lonely at the top” is often the frustration expressed by business decision makers wrestling with strategic as well as day-to-day operations. Through a careful and deliberate selection, Jandernoa Entrepreneurial Mentoring (JEM) ends that isolation with a careful matching process that seeks the right fit with a mentor.  This is why we base JEM on three years of one-to-one monthly meetings in a confidential environment.  JEM mentees will gain the advantage of our mentor’s experience, insight and empowerment.  Our mentors gain the enjoyment of relating with a leader of a company and assist in the tough decisions that come along with growing a business.

Find out more here, as well as check out their upcoming March 28th event here.

Grand Rapids Red Project

The Grand Rapids Red Project organization is made up of community members who are passionate advocates and activists in the fight against HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and the harmful or risky choices that help spread these life-altering medical conditions.

Each year, the organization hosts Dining Out For Life.

Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. In exchange for their financial support, restaurants are listed in a city wide marketing campaign in an effort to increase customer traffic.

Get involved, whether you are a restaurant, local business or a person wanting to volunteer. Great organizations need great support. What are you waiting for? Email me, *@*******gn.com“>ki*@*******gn.com for more info.

Something on Your Mind?

Who made all these rules anyway?

Don’t wear color. Don’t share your ideas. Don’t put yourself out there. Don’t talk about your family.

We’re told to follow them, but @bodespeaks says question every single one. Then uncover your big hairy audacious goal, throw out the rulebook, and build a personal brand that actually works for you.

Thank you to Aggie and Cristy for having Kim on the @badass_women_in_business Podcast and, well... for being total badasses.

Listen to the full episode in bio.
We had some fun in the office this week and asked some of the 8THIRTYFOUR team what “square up” means.

Surprisingly, the Gen Z of the group got it, but one of our Gen X’s did not (not saying any names…)

How do you “square up”?

We love Dr. Karen May’s mission.

What if we taught our daughters AND our sons about women’s health, hormones, and pregnancy? Not as a whispered “talk” or a one-time awkward conversation. Just normal dinner-table stuff.

The girls deserve to know what’s coming (perimenopause shouldn’t be a surprise party nobody wanted). And the boys? They’ll be partners, dads, coworkers, and bosses to women going through all of it.

Thank you, Dr. May, for sharing your best practices to keep the women’s health conversation going at our Uncomfortable Conversations | The Pause event.
Showing up to an interview with an iced coffee? Not the move… unless it’s for @bodespeaks
