Share This Post:

WGVU March 2013Today’s show was amazing, wasn’t it? If nothing else, we are a humble lot.
We enjoyed welcoming Paramount Realty Partners, Center for Women in Transition and GVSU’s Women’s Center to chat with Shelley and I about all of the great services, programs and resources that are available in our community.
Paramount Realty Partners is a residential real estate company that has taken a very different approach to marketing. They recently launched 2 blog sites – West Michigan Home Partners and West Michigan Senior Partners to educate on a range of subjects ranging from:

  • Mortgages
  • Loans
  • Michigan State Development Housing Authority grants
  • DIY tips
  • Energy efficiency
  • Senior living
  • Estate planning
  • Aging in place
  • Retirement planning
  • Selling your home
  • Senior health and more.

Check them out, you will not be disappointed. Kudos to them for thinking outside the box and finding innovative ways to reach their target audience and provide value to the community.
Center for Women in Transition has  been providing assistance for over 30 year to women and children as they deal with the significant challenges resulting from domestic violence, sexual assault, and other life-changing situations.
The Center’s mission is to respond to, reduce, and prevent domestic and sexual violence against women. This mission will be achieved through education, collaboration, and advocacy, with crisis and supportive services to victims and survivors.
It is clear with the tragedy in Ohio, that our nation has a long way to go in understanding violence against women. Do your part by speaking out, educating your children, friends, family and more. 
GVSU’s Women’s Center  is dedicated to creating meaningful learning about women and gender and to advocate for gender justice through the education, engagement, and empowerment of women students and the greater GVSU community.
GVSU’s Women’s Center is focused on a world where gender justice is a reality and all forms of oppression are eradicated.  They partner with students, faculty, and staff to offer the most comprehensive and progressive programs, services, and initiatives.
 
Can you say…girl power?

Something on Your Mind?

New Happy Hour Hustle episode out now! Kim sits down with Meredith Klein, the woman behind the iconic hat and the Substack everyone in comms actually wants to read, @meredith.and.the.media. 

Kim and Meredith talk about personal branding, networking without the ick, why “believe it until you achieve it” beats “fake it till you make it,” and what it takes to really own your worth.

Meredith is a communications executive with nearly two decades of experience at some of the biggest names in the game: Walmart, Pinterest, and Jet.com, to name a few. She's the author of Meredith & The Media, a wildly popular Substack on the latest news, moves, and trends in media, featuring exclusive interviews with leading journalists on what's driving their coverage. She’s a PRWeek 40 Under 40 honoree and regular contributor to Inc. She’s the person in the room who actually knows everyone and makes sure everyone else knows each other too. Basically, if comms had a connector-in-chief, it would be her. 

Grab a martini (with extra olives) and get ready for some F-bomb filled wisdom. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and watch the whole episode on Youtube!

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of @bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to @smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.
"Out of failure comes growth – you have to see it as an opportunity." 

@bodespeaks joined @cuzzinjustin on the @strictlyfromnowhere Podcast for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, embracing your superpowers, and building a personal brand that's actually yours, the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between. And naturally, dropped an f-bomb or two along the way. You don't want to miss it.
