Join me and my guest, Jody Steinhauer, as we talk about her passion for helping others. She talks about how she quickly left the fashion industry, got into sales and business, and eventually got herself busy providing for people in need.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• To live a life that doesn’t compromise your values.
• The importance of giving back to others. 
• Having supplies prepared even before the COVID issue started.
• Managing every decision by your gut. It’s a skill that not all people have!
• The developments that automation can drive.
• Enabling more opportunities for charities during the pandemic.

~

About Jody Steinhauer:

Fueled by my entrepreneurial passion and commitment to helping others, I founded an award-winning discount wholesale & promotional products company and a national charity focusing on giving back to my local community and across the country. This was the catalyst for our new social enterprise Kits for a Cause.

I started The Bargains Group with the goal of helping retailers save money on wholesale clothing and accessories. 29 years later, The Bargains Group has grown into an award-winning company famous for our $2.00 t-shirts; but now offers over 50,000 custom promotional products and other non-branded items at up to 80% off.

I live by the philosophy “giving back makes great business sense” which led me to found the charity, Engage and Change. Engage and Change is focused on good people working together for the good of people. Together we've mobilized 1,000s of corporate volunteers to pack thousands of survival kits and donated millions of bottles of water to the homeless community.

Kits for a Cause was created because there was a void that existed between non-profit organizations and the corporate world. Our social enterprise matches companies who want to do good, but have no clue where to start, to a local non-profit that aligns with their mission and company core values. Kits for a Cause engages group by providing them with everything they need to host a Kit packing event in their own space. We send everything a group needs to pack custom Kits for the charity and support them in planning for the event with our toolKit. It's a turnkey solution that creates a positive impact and increased employee engagement in three easy steps!

Join me and my guest, Vince Fowler, as we talk about psychological immunity. Vince is a former paratrooper and salesman who’s now a business coach.

~

About Vince Fowler:

I help business owners and entrepreneurs to accelerate and amplify the impact they make in the world. How? Let's talk about you, first.

You have a business or two. Maybe more. You, and those you've inspired to work with you, work your backside off. You know what you do makes an impact in the community - you aspire to make it bigger.

If you're somewhat early in your entrepreneurial journey, while you're very competent in what you do and the industry you're in, you acknowledge there's a gap in knowledge. As gritty, determined and resilient as you are, the gap in knowledge isn't lost on you... and you're willing to work with someone to close it.

If you're experienced in your entrepreneurial career, you're more than competent, your very savvy about business, you're an industry leader and your business(es) is already making an impact. Your challenge isn't the absence of business acumen, nor strategy or a strategic network. You're challenge... managing the narrative and second-guessing the comes with every high performing leader.

Whether you're the first example or the second, or you're somewhere in between, what's consistent is you aspire to accelerate and/or amplify the impact your business makes in the community, the region, and beyond.

While I understand the overall mechanics of business - how money is made, profits are earned, and how social and economic factors can play a role in a company and/or industry - I also understand how your emotions and thoughts can affect on the way you behave and lead in the midst of opportunity, crisis, or operational uncertainty.
