Lindsey Nelson's Interview

3/26/2018

0 Comments

 
1: Please explain more what you do.

I work with authors to fine tune their writing and polish their manuscripts before they either self publish or seek a publishing house.

2: What is your biggest life lesson?

My biggest life lesson would have to be to seize the day because you never know if the next day will come.

3: What is your biggest achievement?

My biggest achievement is my business and the reality that I have turned my love for books (and of course grammar) into a career where I get to help others achieve their writing goals. 

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?

The most challenging part of my business right now is maintaining a fully booked schedule. I usually book six to nine months in advance, which makes it tricky to get new clients, and sometimes authors aren't ready for their scheduled slot, so that certainly throws a wrench in my schedule...but it also allows me to take on new clients in a timely manner!

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?

The biggest hurdle for me has probably been balancing having children while trying to build a career and a business. Now that my girls are older and in school, balancing both has gotten a bit easier. My husband is also an entrepreneur, so balancing family and work falls more on my shoulders. I'm able to put work down when the kids come home, while he's just trying to keep his head above water. Finding that work-life balance is hard.

6: What is your favorite book?

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Although I do have many books that I love...

7: If you could have anyone educate you who would it be?

Oooohhh good question. Probably either Amy Einsohn or Carol Fisher Saller, both renowned copy editors.

8: What is your deepest regret?

I don't really have an answer for that. I try not to regret anything!

9: What is your favorite podcast?

Grammar Girl! Although I tend to read the posts rather than listen to the podcasts.

10: How people can get in contact with you?

editor@exactedits.com

11: What is your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts?

@exactedits on Facebook and @LNeditor on Twitter

12: Who inspires you on social media and why?

Dan Rather is always unearthing the truth out there and inspiring activism through his words.

13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?

I hate to say Microsoft Word, because I fight with it A LOT, but it's my primary tool. Although, two things I can't make it through the day without are Merriam-Webster online and Chicago Manual of Style online.

14: How would you help people with disabilities?

In editing, I think assisting with the tools available when needed is important. But also helping writers to make their voices heard in the world is of utmost importance. 

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?

I love my job. Work is my happy place, so there really isn't anything that I face every day that I find too hard. Competing with lots of other editors to gain clientele is certainly challenging, but not something I have to do every day luckily.

Dr. Shelley Leutschaft's Interview

3/19/2018

1: Please explain more what you do.

I am a licensed psychologist, author, and a metaphysical practitioner. I have worked for almost 20 years in state and federal prison systems and I am currently employed writing forensic evaluations for releasing inmates. My impactful and joyful position is being a change catalyst through authoring my books, giving inspired lectures, facilitating workshops, and through individual and group sessions. I have the ability to read people's energy and align with them to affect personal change. I also specialize in addressing loss experiences and trauma events and assist people in processing the event, moving the energy, and creating a future without the anxiety and dpression often subsequent to such experiences. I help people awaken to the soul self so they can awaken and live an enlightened life.

2: What is your biggest life lesson?

I believe the most impactful lesson in life has been to awaken to my true self and to learn to live from the love of my BEingness.

3: What is your biggest achievement?

Other than earning a Ph.D., I would say I am equally proud of getting published and founding my business LOVEstrong and raising two amazing boys.

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?

Other than ever changing technology and algorythms, the most challenging part of operating a business for me is dealing with the politics of every day processes.

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?

I think the hurdle I most needed to adress is one that we all face, fear. I believe we either live from love of we live in fear. Fear is debilitating emotioanlly, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. For me, it was overcoming the fear of being judege by others for being a spirit medium and working in spirituality. It seems people either embrace it or rebuff it. I did not want to bring attention to myself or my family. It can be difficiult to release the attachment to what others think of us.

6: What is your favorite book?

I have to choose just one? Oh boy. There are so many. I am a total book worm. If I had to select just one to read over and over for the rest of my physical BEingness, I would have to say my all time favorite is The Art of Happiness, by the Dalai Lama

7: If you could have anyone educate you who would it be?

Oh boy! Great question. I have read extensively on so many amazing scientists and spiritual leaders. I have a bucket list of individuals, living and passed, with whom I would like to converse. At present, I would say being taught by Nikola Tesla would be most excellent!

8: What is your deepest regret?

I can honestly say that I do not have any. I have learned to move through things with grace and ease. Once I awakened to my spiritual BEingness, I discovered a new way of BEing in the world. I have seriously analized everything from my past, moved the energy, and realize everything happened as it was intended. I have processed and acquired the lessons. So much less baggage that way!

9: What is your favorite podcast?

You mean other than Win Kelley?? I am a big fan of TedTalks. I enjoy the variety of content and have learned a great deal about so many subjects since it came into existence.

10: How people can get in contact with you?

I can be contacted via my website www.LiveFromLove.com or email at LOVEstrong@LiveFromLove.com, or telephone 317-743-5539

11: What is your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts?

I am on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as Dr. Shelley Leutschaft. My YouTube channel is coming soon! The @ sign quick find is @DrLOVEstrong, because my last name can be hard to spell and remember!

12: Who inspires you on social media and why?

I follow so many amazing and inspiring people on social media. There isn't just one, but the individuals who stand out are the people who are compassionate, positive, and uplifting. They recognize the struggle of the human condition and aren't judgmental.

13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?

Although I have tech, I am pretty basic. I don't go anywhere without a notebook and a pen. I get inspired with ideas for my books all the time and the information comes in so fast I have to be prepared to jot it down before it disappears. More recently, I have begun to use a mini-voice activated recorder. It's awesome!

14: How would you help people with disabilities?

I think we all have to work together to address mentally and physically handicapping conditions. None of us is better than the other, and everyone deserves a qulaity life that affords them to live with dignitiy and respect. Aboloshing the stigma and stereotypes regarding mental health and physical conditions would have a significant impact. I adress issues related to this every day in one way or another. While it seems like an uphill battle at times, I think overall many people are awakening to the fact that beneath it all, we are all the seeking the same thing. Love, acceptance, and compassion.

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?

Hands down, negativity. As an empath I sense the energy of everything around me and some people put out a strong negative vibe that can be difficult to shake.

Margaret Schlachter's Interview

1: Please explain more what you do.
I work in the obstacle course racing industry. I have been a professional athlete, coach, and most recently work on the backside of the industry as a consultant, media personality, industry expert, and more. 

2: What is your biggest life lesson?
Failure isn’t always bad.

3: What is your biggest achievement?
Tough one, it continues to change over time. I feel like these days it is the little things. Like helping someone overcome a problem or fear. 

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?
I work from home and work pretty much behind a computer all day. The hardest part is knowing when to end my workday and finding quiet places to work sometimes. 

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?
When I quit my job in education in 2012, I entered an unknown world. The jobs I have today were not even around back then. Working in a new industry often means future jobs aren’t even created yet and I have to put a lot of trust in the universe. 

6: What is your favorite book?
These days probably Fifth Sacred Thing or Station Eleven for fictional books. 

7: If you could have anyone educate you who would it be?
I will take this from a mentor of mine. I think one of the best things about the world we live in is YouTube and technology where we can use both to be educated by virtually everyone in the world. 

8: What is your deepest regret?
Not starting my podcast sooner as I love working on my Dirt in Your Skirt Podcast.

9: What is your favorite podcast?
This changes daily, as there are so many great ones out there I cycle through including - The Joe rogan Experience, Duncan Trussel Family Hour, Move Your DNA, Shaman’s Tech Support, Aubrey Marcus Podcast, Dream Freedom Beauty Podcast, Lore, Medicine Stories. The list could go on and on. 

10: How people can get in contact with you?
People can contact me through my website: dirtinyourskirt.com or on social media.

Instagram: www.instagram.com/dirtinyourskirt
Twitter: www.twitter.com/dirtinyourskirt

12: Who inspires you on social media and why?
I actually try to spend less time on social media these days and more time in the real world. I guess if I had to say someone on social media that inspires me it would be the people who are honestly themselves. 

13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?
My computer, DSLR camera, and DJI Osmo Mobile

14: How would you help people with disabilities?
I am lucky to work within an industry have is open to everyone, many of the races we cover work with people of various disabilities and love to be able to share the stories of people not only overcoming the physical obstacles on course but also proving the world they can do anything they want. 

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?
Probably the fact I work in the global economy so at anytime someone I work with is in their business hours. It takes a lot of time to set your own schedule and stick with it.

Emily Prokop's Interview

1: Please explain more what you do.
I am a podcast editor and consultant. I have clients with podcasts who just want to do the recording and they send the files off to me and I add the intro/outro/transitions and either send it back or upload it to Libsyn for them with their show notes. Sometimes I write the show notes in addition to editing. And I also do some consulting for my clients, as well as those looking to either get into podcasting or who are looking for ways to optimize their podcast.

2: What is your biggest life lesson?
You are your own worst critic. Would you tolerate your best friend saying the things to herself that you say to yourself sometimes? 

3: What is your biggest achievement?
My two kids. They are amazing and they surprise me every day.

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?
Stopping. Taking breaks. I love what I do. I love all the aspects of it, even the boring admin part. I'm constantly learning, which always revs me up.

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?
Feeling uncomfortable. I knew I was going to feel uncomfortable. I would never have been able to step out and say "I'm starting a business" without realizing I either had to deal with that discomfort, or go back to another soul-sucking 9-5. And I chose discomfort.

6: What is your favorite book?
Lately it's DailyOM by Madisyn Taylor.

7: If you could have anyone educate you who would it be?
Landon Porter, who runs the Facebook group Getting Clients without Being Salesy and has a course for getting clients. I had a session with him where we got to pick each other's brain and I left it feeling amazing about my work, about where I was with my business, and having some of the most brilliant ideas to help my business. Once I'm a little more established, I'm going to buy his course, but in the meantime he gives so much value just in his Facebook group. 

8: What is your deepest regret?
I try not to have any. I made a silly rule for myself when I went to college that I'm allowed two big regrets by the time I'm 25. I don't know why I picked two or even 25. But what I considered my two big regrets at 25 turned out to shape who I am today, so I don't really count them as "regrets" any more.

9: What is your favorite podcast?
I love any podcast about podcasting really, but the first podcast I ever listened to was Good Job, Brain, and it's still my favorite. It's all about trivia and one of the reasons I started podcasting.

10: How people can get in contact with you?
I'm at EPodcasstProductions.com or TheStoryBehindPodcast.com. I'm on Instagram and Twitter as @emilypeckprokop or @storybehindpod.

11: What is your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts?
I'm on all of those as @storybehindpod.

12: Who inspires you on social media and why?
Probably Haley Burkhead from the Market Beautifully Podcast. I love following her on Instagram and her stories throughout the day because of how positive and sweet she is.

13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?
Probably Izotope RX, a software editing program that does a lot of the little things for me in editing, like get rid of plosives or symbelences.

14: How would you help people with disabilities?
My husband's aunt is deaf and I've been trying to learn moree sign language to be able to communicate with her. 

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?
Probably time management. I do a lot on Facebook and it's so easy to get sucked into the non-productive side of it
