Best of Shortcast Club - Vol 5

Each week we highlight some of our favorite episodes on Shortcast Club. If you like variety, this is the podcast for you. First up, an episode of "Talkin' Trash" with Stacy Savage. Stacy, AKA "The Texas Trash Talker", is a Zero Waste expert helping businesses reduce waste. In this episode she explains *why* some recycling is dumped in landfills instead of getting recycled. Like in most things, it's not as simple as you might think! [Link to Stacy's website: https://0waste.org/] Next we hear from Marcelle Iten, an Author, Editor, and Writing Coach. Marcelle is the author of the book The Elysian Hunt. In this episode she talks about a murder mystery she recently read, "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder", and a technique in the book that she wishes more mystery novels followed. [linkr.bio/marcelleiten] Third, an insightful episode from Samantha Chung's podcast "Simplyfying Sam - The Shortcast!". When is self improvement a trap? [linktr.ee/simplifying.sam] Next, we hear from Daniel Lim, who has reviewed over 5000 college applications. He provides insight on the ultra-competitive world of elite college admissions, where a valedictorian with perfect SAT scores is...average. If you or someone you love is on the college track, or honestly, if you just find this interesting, you should listen to more of his episodes. I'm going to play two of his episodes for you now that go well together. Together they are 3 minutes long, and quite revealing. Here's a second episode from Daniel Lim, which frankly gives me more hope. Be your weird self! [linktr.ee/schooloflimmy] Next we hear from Joshua Terhune, a therapist who answers the question, what can parents do to repair the damage of authoritarian parenting? Many in the current generation of parents aspire to practice gentle parenting, so how do they make that change? [linktr.ee/joshuaterhune] Sixth in our lineup today, we hear from Bill Harper, a marketing leader, in what may be a core lesson from his podcast “Don’t Just Win. Dominate.". It's about how you need to understand what it is you are actually selling. I feel like this is the essence of marketing, and everything else is just details. [Link to Bill's company https://www.wmharper.com/] Next, some quick advice from Eden Gold's podcast, "Life After High School, Your Ultimate Guide to Thriving in Adulthood!" She shares her top hacks for how to supercharge your productivity. Who couldn't use these tips ...I ask myself as I record this podcast in my closet after putting my kids to bed because I didn't do it earlier. [https://www.iamedengold.com/] Eighth up, Mnyaka, a trauma-informed relationship & life coach, speaking about a perspective changing idea that helped her live with her trauma. [stan.store/Coachkhanyi] Ninth, a revealing episode from Tora Mills, a career coach. She shares the strategy she personally used to continually get promoted, moving from a relatively low paying job to a six-figure salary. [https://stanwith.me/ToraMill] Finally, to wrap it up, this short episode of the perennially popular Skygazing with Carolinda, about how we will have two full moons this month!
