SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to ConnectPodcast with guest Ginine Emily Smith
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Ginine Emily Smith in our 92nd Episode on Wednesday\, August 20th at NEW TIME – 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm (PST) as we discuss What Are You Waiting For? How to Turn Your Story into a Mission\, Movement\, and Legacy \nGININE EMILY SMITH is a global influencer\, bestselling author\, award-winning songwriter\, TV and top 3% Podcast host\, and founder of the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness™ movement. A master of reinvention\, Ginine has transformed extraordinary life challenges into a global mission of helping people reclaim their voice\, own their story\, and create meaningful impact. \nThrough Hearts In Sync Productions\, media platforms\, speaking\, music\, and transformational experiences\, she empowers leaders\, entrepreneurs\, and change-makers to turn their stories into movements\, their message into influence\, and their purpose into legacy. \nHer signature message reminds us that healing happens when we stop hiding and start sharing. \n“If you don’t own your story\, your story will own you.” \nYour story is more than your past—it’s one of the most powerful tools you have to inspire\, influence\, and create change. In this unforgettable keynote\, Ginine Emily Smith reveals how to transform life’s challenges into purpose\, impact\, and opportunity while learning how to present your story in a way that captures attention\, creates connection\, and moves people to action. \nBlending powerful personal stories\, practical insights\, and her signature RISE Framework™\, Ginine shows audiences how to stop surviving\, start owning their voice\, and build a message that people remember long after the conversation ends. Because the goal isn’t simply to tell your story—it’s to turn your story into a mission\, movement\, and legacy that changes lives. \nTakeaways from this talk: \n\nReclaim Who You Were Before Life Told You Who to Be Stop defining yourself by your wounds\, failures\, titles\, or circumstances. Fearlessness begins when you remember your worth and reconnect with the woman you were created to be.\nLearn to Tell Your Story in a Way That Moves People Everyone has a story. The people who create lasting impact learn how to communicate their story with authenticity\, emotion\, and purpose so it inspires action and becomes unforgettable.\nTurn Your Story into a Mission\, Not a Memory Your story isn’t meant to stay trapped in your past. It can become a message\, a book\, a business\, a stage\, a movement\, a ministry\, or a legacy that serves others.\nStop Waiting. The life\, mission\, and impact you’re meant to create won’t happen someday. The question isn’t whether you’re capable. The question is: What are you waiting for?\n\nTo learn more\, go to:  ginineemily22@gmail.com \nContact Ginine at: https://baddasslioness.com \n  \nTake notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\,  \nor enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nNEW Zoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=GmbQNBBp9L8V3ZOdYnSmosUxe37Qke.1&omn=81727016997 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \n\n \n  \nNews you can use!

Lioness™ movement. A master of reinvention\, Ginine has transformed extraordinary life challenges into a global mission of helping people reclaim their voice\, own their story\, and create meaningful impact. \nThrough Hearts In Sync Productions\, media platforms\, speaking\, music\, and transformational experiences\, she empowers leaders\, entrepreneurs\, and change-makers to turn their stories into movements\, their message into influence\, and their purpose into legacy. \nHer signature message reminds us that healing happens when we stop hiding and start sharing. \n“If you don’t own your story\, your story will own you.” \nIn Ginine’s 20-minute talk she will share: What Are You Waiting For? How to Turn Your Story into a Mission\, Movement\, and Legacy \nYour story is more than your past—it’s one of the most powerful tools you have to inspire\, influence\, and create change. In this unforgettable keynote\, Ginine Emily Smith reveals how to transform life’s challenges into purpose\, impact\, and opportunity while learning how to present your story in a way that captures attention\, creates connection\, and moves people to action. \nBlending powerful personal stories\, practical insights\, and her signature RISE Framework™\, Ginine shows audiences how to stop surviving\, start owning their voice\, and build a message that people remember long after the conversation ends.

Fearlessness begins when you remember your worth and reconnect with the woman you were created to be.\nLearn to Tell Your Story in a Way That Moves People Everyone has a story. The people who create lasting impact learn how to communicate their story with authenticity\, emotion\, and purpose so it inspires action and becomes unforgettable.\nTurn Your Story into a Mission\, Not a Memory Your story isn’t meant to stay trapped in your past. It can become a message\, a book\, a business\, a stage\, a movement\, a ministry\, or a legacy that serves others.\nStop Waiting.

SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to Connect Podcast with guest Rachael Barclay
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Rachael Barclay in our 91st Episode on Wednesday\, July 22nd at NEW TIME – 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (PST) as we discuss Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, and Perplexity. \nRachael Barclay is the founder of The Savvy Digital Co.\, where she helps founders and small businesses get found and chosen in the age of AI. She spent 15 years in executive operations\, including as the youngest executive at the Columbia Tower Club\, before trading the corporate ladder for building her own thing. Now she builds the brand strategy\, automation\, and AI systems most owners don’t have time to figure out themselves. She hosts the You’re Allowed* podcast and lives in downtown Seattle with her partner and their daughter\, Luna. \nIn Rachael’s 20-minute talk she will share: Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, and Perplexity \nSearch has changed. Whether your customers ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, Perplexity\, or just Google\, they’re getting one AI-written answer instead of a page of links. Is your business in that answer? In this session you’ll find out whether AI recommends you\, and the simple steps to make sure it does. \nTakeaways from this talk: \n\nAI doesn’t guess\, it pulls. When AI recommends a business\, it’s pulling from real sources: your Google Business Profile\, your reviews\, your website\, and what other sites say about you. Once you know the inputs\, you can control the output.\nCheck yourself before a customer does. Most owners have never searched their own business in ChatGPT\, Gemini\, or Perplexity. You’ll learn the 60-second check that shows you exactly what AI is saying about you right now.\nWrite for the questions\, not the keywords. AI quotes the businesses that answer real customer questions in plain language. The old SEO playbook of stuffing keywords doesn’t work the same way here.\nRecent and trusted beats big and old. Fresh reviews and a complete profile tell AI you’re active and trustworthy today. A few recent reviews can outweigh a fancy website that nobody’s verified.\nYou can’t be your only source. AI trusts what others say about you more than what you say about yourself. Getting mentioned on a few trusted sites beyond your own is what moves you from findable to recommended.\n\nTo learn more\, go to:  thesavvydigitalco.com \nContact Rachael at: rachael@thesavvydigitalco.com \n Take notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\, or enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nNEW Zoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=GmbQNBBp9L8V3ZOdYnSmosUxe37Qke.1&omn=81013604764 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \n\n \n  \nNews you can use!

SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to Connect Podcast with guest Mari Wuellner
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Mari Wuellner in our 90th Episode on Thursday\, July 16th at NEW TIME – 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (PST) as we discuss Living on Purpose: The Power of Granting Yourself Permission \nMari Wuellner is the CEO and Founder of The Crew Life Coaching Collective and Insurance Agency owner who has built her life around one principle: grant yourself permission. \nAt 24\, as a college dropout and single mom\, she granted herself permission to try anyway – and built her agency from zero to $3 million. Then she granted herself permission to step back and pursue coaching. She helps women stop living in a state of default and move into purpose by teaching them to grant themselves the permission slips they’ve been waiting for – permission to rest\, to say no\, to start over\, to change direction\, and to prioritize themselves without guilt.  Her mission: help people stop waiting for validation and start Living on Purpose – one permission slip at a time. \nMost of us are living in a state of default – saying yes when we mean no\, sacrificing our needs for everyone else’s comfort\, waiting for the “right time” to pursue what we actually want. We’re stuck in patterns we never consciously chose\, waiting for someone to give us permission to change. \nBut here’s the truth: no one is coming to grant you that permission. \nIn this conversation\, Mari Wuellner shares how granting yourself permission is the key to moving from default to purpose. Through powerful stories – from leaving her family on Thanksgiving when she was burnt out\, to starting her running goal with just a quarter mile\, to stepping back from her successful agency to pursue coaching. \nMari reveals the permission slips we all need to write for ourselves: \nDefine: How to get honest about what you actually want (not what you think you should want) and identify the permission slips standing in your way\nDesign: How to structure your life around your values and priorities instead of living in default mode\, constantly accommodating everyone else’s needs\nDemand: Why demanding what you want without apology isn’t selfish – it’s the only way to live on purpose and model healthy boundaries for those around you \nTo learn more go to: www.thecrewcc.com\nTo contact Mari: mari.j.wuellner@gmail.com \nTake notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\, or enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nZoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=GmbQNBBp9L8V3ZOdYnSmosUxe37Qke.1&omn=81727016997 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \n\n \n  \nNews you can use!

Whether your customers ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, Perplexity\, or just Google\, they’re getting one AI-written answer instead of a page of links. Is your business in that answer? In this session you’ll find out whether AI recommends you\, and the simple steps to make sure it does. \nTakeaways from this talk: \n\nAI doesn’t guess\, it pulls. When AI recommends a business\, it’s pulling from real sources: your Google Business Profile\, your reviews\, your website\, and what other sites say about you. Once you know the inputs\, you can control the output.\nCheck yourself before a customer does. Most owners have never searched for their own business in ChatGPT\, Gemini\, or Perplexity. You’ll learn the 60-second check that shows you exactly what AI is saying about you right now.\nWrite for the questions\, not the keywords. AI quotes the businesses that answer real customer questions in plain language. The old SEO playbook of stuffing keywords doesn’t work the same way here.\nRecent and trusted beats big and old. Fresh reviews and a complete profile tell AI you’re active and trustworthy today. A few recent reviews can outweigh a fancy website that nobody’s verified.\nYou can’t be your only source. AI trusts what others say about you more than what you say about yourself. Getting mentioned on a few trusted sites beyond your own is what moves you from findable to recommended.\n\n\nTo learn more\, go to: thesavvydigitalco.com \nContact Laurie at: rachael@thesavvydigitalco.com \n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n \n🌟 Exceptional Connections Networking Luncheons\nExciting news!  Exceptional Connections Networking Luncheons are now hosted at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse\, our new Lynnwood location! We’re thrilled to gather in this beautiful and elevated venue and we have a full\, engaging schedule planned.
