She shares her "workhorse" mentality, her philosophy on living boldly, and how her commitment to her family during the pandemic led her to a meaningful new chapter in the nonprofit sector.<br /> <b>Background &amp; Career Journey</b><br /><ul><li>Early Roots: Originally from Tulsa and a resident of Sapulpa, Dana attended Oklahoma State University.</li><li>Sports Broadcasting: She gained early experience interning for the OSU sports office and the New York Mets in Queens.</li><li>Media Production: After returning to Tulsa, she worked at a local TV station producing sports coverage for the Tulsa Talons and the Drillers.</li><li>Banking Career: Dana spent approximately 21 years in the banking industry, including 17.5 years at Western Sun Credit Union starting in 2002, followed by four years at Yorktown Bank.</li><li>Career Pivot: During the COVID-19 pandemic, she left banking to prioritize being present for her children’s learning and needs.</li></ul> <b>The American Cancer Society &amp; Tulsa Cattle Barons Ball</b><br /><ul><li>The Mission: Dana has been with the ACS for nearly five years, motivated in part by her family's personal experiences with cancer.</li><li>Event Growth: As the planner for the Tulsa Cattle Barons Ball, she successfully moved the event to 181 Ranch in Bixby, where it sold 500 tickets.</li><li>A Historic Venue: To accommodate growth, the event moved to the Ranger Arena at Expo Square; Dana was the first person to host an event at this venue.</li><li>20th Anniversary Milestone: This year’s event celebrates two decades and aims to host 700 attendees with a fundraising goal of $650,000.</li><li>Efficiency &amp; Impact: The ACS maintains a low overhead (12% to 15%) so that 80% or more of funds go directly to the cause.</li><li>Local Support: While funds support national research, a specific "paddle raise" keeps money in Oklahoma to provide patients with gas cards, Uber rides, and lodging for treatments.</li><li>Opportunity: Dana is currently seeking a title sponsor for this year’s milestone event.</li></ul> <b>Marketing &amp; Life Philosophy</b><br /><ul><li>Marketing Strategy: Dana advocates for "outside the box" thinking and believes marketing is about identifying a need and creating a solution.</li><li>The "Workhorse" Brand: She describes her personal brand as a "workhorse," a tireless work ethic she learned from her father.</li><li>Living Boldly: Dana defines "living boldly" as pushing yourself to be your best and serving as a living example of your values.</li><li>Family Influence: Her children have helped her become more empathetic and collaborative; she strives to be present for all their school and sporting events.</li><li>Advice for Newcomers: For those new to Tulsa, Dana recommends getting involved with a local nonprofit or school to build community connections.</li></ul> <br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4243</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>americancancersociety,businesspodcast,cancerawareness,careerjourney,cattlebaronsball,communityimpact,danaharris,eventfundraising,fundraisingevent,leadershipstory,liveboldly,nonprofitleadership,nonprofitwork,oklahomabusiness,oklahomaevents,tulsacommunity,tulsaoklahoma,tulsapodcast,womeninleadership,workhorsementality</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/25d7eb9fa3413f6ffee1124078ded415.jpg"/><itunes:season>10</itunes:season><itunes:episode>99</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Behind the Demand Confronting Child Trafficking with Jamie Miller</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/behind-the-demand-confronting-child-trafficking-with-jamie-miller--70163712</link><description><![CDATA[We are just two episodes away from the big 100! Before we get to the celebration, we take a deep dive into two very different types of numbers in this gripping and eye-opening episode.<br /><br />First, the host kicks things off with his precise, "numbers-driven" method for brewing the perfect espresso to create a perfect cortado. Our guest, Jamie Miller, also shares her unique relationship with numbers—hating math, but loving measurement—tracing how this appreciation evolved through cosmetology school and into her current professional life.<br /><br />Then, the tone shifts as Jamie Miller, of The Demand Project, shares her incredible personal journey and her mission to fight child trafficking. Jamie reveals her background, the chilling moment she first discovered child trafficking, how she overcame a spiritual encounter that tried to stop her exploration, and how a remarkably successful fundraiser in July 2020 led her to The Demand Project just weeks before they opened the nation’s largest safe house for child trafficking survivors.<br />We discuss the pillars of The Demand Project—Prevention, Education, and Restoration—and the staggering financial reality of caring for these survivors. Finally, this episode confront shocking statistics surrounding trafficking, the age of pornography exposure, the alarming intersection between traffickers and the DHS foster care system, and the devastating lack of resources for survivors nationwide.<br /><br />This is a must-listen episode about business mindset, the power of grassroots funding, and the urgent reality of child trafficking in America.<br /><br />KEY TAKEAWAYS <br /><ul><li>Knowing measurements provides satisfaction and a way to make adjustments.</li><li>The Demand Project safe house is the largest in the nation with 25 beds.

We delve into the unique intricacies of commercial insurance, with a special focus on itemized coverage, protection for cannabis businesses, and professional liability insurance.<br /><br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><br /><br />Jim Herron discusses the benefits of working with an independent insurance brokerage like AllInsure, emphasizing the personalized, hands-on service and expertise they provide in helping businesses navigate the complex world of commercial insurance.<br /><br />The conversation unveils the hidden benefits of itemizing commercial insurance coverage. By dividing your policies amongst multiple providers, you can tailor coverage to your specific needs, leverage the unique strengths of each provider, and create a comprehensive, multi-faceted risk management strategy.<br /><br />Jim provides a detailed explanation of how AllInsure supports the cannabis industry with its specialized insurance services. Their comprehensive coverage plans cater to the unique risks associated with different aspects of cannabis businesses, from cultivation to retail.<br /><br />The importance of professional liability insurance is underscored. Jim details how this coverage protects businesses from potential legal costs and damages resulting from professional errors or omissions. This coverage is essential for any business providing professional services or advice.<br /><br />Jim offers invaluable advice on how to evaluate the right amount of liability coverage for your business. He highlights the need to assess specific business risks, legal requirements, operational size, and contractual obligations.

How does this affect both employees and business owners. <br /><br />We start off by sharing stories from our childhood of how we “ found our hustle” or when we realized things were different for us! From taking advantage of garage sales, to filling a need in school! <br /><br />When we were younger it seems most of these hustles were fueled by childish wants… such as a bird, a phone, or even just money in our pocket.. <br /><br />Braedon shares taking advantage of an influx of people at garage sales and how he would cater to the customers based on the time of day!<br /><br />Abel shares how a first lady got rid of all sugary drinks and foods from school, and saw an opportunity to sell candy at a very young age!<br /><br />We find that from a true entrepreneur standpoint, we were given everything we needed to survive such as food, shelter, clothing… yet, our wants were always up to ourselves to achieve!<br /><br />We share the idea that our businesses actually in a sense chose us due to the fact that we saw the opportunity and enjoyed the challenges coming our way.. <br /><br />We elaborate on when the hustle culture actually hurt each of us, and brought forth the need to balance our lives due to burnout and the rest of our lives more or less falling apart.. <br /><br />The change as we got older is that we went from childish needs to the want for control of your schedule and freedom of choice in our everyday lives. <br /><br />Did hustle culture lead to a mental breakdown? Is there a difference in the Hustle from working in the business to working on the business?<br /><br />Abel gets very vulnerable about when he started to shift his mindset in the business, and started a new life with new tools.. Which caused lots of stress and in a turn of events turned out he was robbed and sent him into a mental shut down.. Which he says was a huge beautiful time which opened his eyes to the wonderful life he had built.. <br /><br />After a hard reset he was able to focus even harder on what he needed to focus on.. <br />And realizing with his team knowing the struggles and stresses together they are able to carry more weight..<br /><br />We come to conclusion that in order to keep the hustle up, we need to take adequate breaks. Very much in a pendulum manner, both hustle and breaks. Or in a more common sense, work hard, play harder.. <br /><br />How do you measure success? Is materialistic? Is it time freedom? Is it a certain revenue figure?<br /><br />We all have different measurements on success, but we come to the conclusion that while material objects are a very tangible way to measure success, it tends to lead to not so glamorous achievement and almost a dead feeling.. And we start to realize success is usually better measured in making an impact on others. <br /><br />While the hustle culture is highly influenced by social media highlight reels, but as Stone points out, it shows a false narrative outcome, and we talk about getting a new truck, or new equipment.. We as business owners think about the backend stress accompanying these false narratives. <br /><br />We wrap up on this topic going over how banks work and how this hustle culture is highly influenced by both social media and ease of access to funds for WANTS vs NEEDS!<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51234457</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2022 19:42:42 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/51234457/hustle_culture_podcast.mp3" length="72872977" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Braedon Kruse</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What is the hustle culture?

We as business owners think about the backend stress accompanying these false narratives. <br /><br />We wrap up on this topic going over how banks work and how this hustle culture is highly influenced by both social media and ease of access to funds for WANTS vs NEEDS!<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3037</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>business,culture,hustle,marketing</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/25d7eb9fa3413f6ffee1124078ded415.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>6</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Strategies to Improve Work Efficiency</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/strategies-to-improve-work-efficiency--51044015</link><description><![CDATA[What does it mean to Fail?<br /><br />Join the Brews &amp; Business Podcast to find out how business owners handle failures, with this episode you’ll learn about how similar business failures really are and how in the grand scheme of business, most entrepreneurs handle failing in a very similar fashion. <br /><br />In this Episode, we touch base on ways to get more efficient in your business, but even more importantly, in your LIFE!!<br />It all comes down to planning your life! Creating more structure to your days and tasks completion!<br /><br />We hear from Sooner Marketing's very own Bobby Elder, who seems to be making headway with automation and using certain apps to increase productivity, while not having to do each step yourself!<br /><br />Bobby brings up a great tip to retroactively update the calendar to make sure he's able to accurately plan in the future based on previous weeks productivity!<br /><br />BUZZZZ!! LOL<br /><br />Stone provides a great strategy of building his weeks backwards due to his industry causing typical last minute changes earlier in the week! Planning from friday to monday!<br /><br />Using apps like Zapier, Calendy, Quickbooks, and properly integrating them, allows SMS to automatically respond to reviews on both the good and bad reviews, as well as setting up booking and planning, instead of manually needing to get with customers to set appropriate times for booking, easily making certain slots available to customers and knowing that on the business end, we are on customer alert during those times!<br /><br />Chance does a great job of explaining how a morning routine also helps create efficiency, due to focusing first on yourself, then giving yourself to others. Starting first with himself, and quickly and easily shifting to work in the routine.. As well as an evening routine, which can consist of getting ready for the next day as well as wrapping up from the day of things that didn't get addressed. <br /><br />Stone shares his morning shuffle, to get his day ready, an all too familiar shuffle for the construction industry, which lead to burnout, helped him realize his morning routine which is focused on himself, helps keep him on track when something traumatic happens!<br /><br />Bobby brings up a great question on how do we refocus when productivity isnt there.. And a rebounding answer, between all of us, is simple taking a break and focusing on something fun or outside of the work we are working on!<br /><br />Some of you may be more reliant on other people's time, so how do you stay productive during that “wasted time?”<br /><br />Another great automation Braedon mentions is putting your phone on work mode, or do not disturb mode to help keep productivity going!<br /><br />Abel touches base on how his inbox and texts are basically at inbox zero. Keeping focus on the current tasks at hand.. Keeping his stress levels lower and paying attention to what's important!<br /><br />We touch base on to-do lists, we all explain what they mean to us..<br />Braedon calls his a shit list, which he calls his rolling list of shit, which doesnt necessarily have any rhyme or reason, but basically just getting his thoughts out onto paper. <br />Stone has his notebook, which is his very important info, or more or less, If it makes money, it goes in the notebook. <br />Abel touches base on his list and how he likes to whiteout as tasks are completed<br /><br />Sometimes its setting up the room or the workflow, coming from room temperature, drink option, or even just starting your day outdoors.. But even more important is creating a supportive, open, and honest environment between all members of your community. Bobby puts it quite simple on how to create this environment.. LISTENING!<br />Which may come down to listening to your team, and simply getting ice or buying them lunch.. When you listen to them, they go above and beyond for you!<br /><br />Key takeaways!<br /><br />Braedon- Concentrate on task, Shitlist, Calendar<br />Chance- use a calendar to schedule and manage yourself!<br />Stone- Prioritize your tasks!<br />Bobby- Automation!!<br />Abel- Say no to distractions!<br /><br />Thank you for listening to the brews and business podcast!<br /><br />Get to know the ins and outs of everyday small business owners as we share our stories and experiences with you. #letsgrowtogether<br /><br />Braedon Kruse<br />Sooner Marketing Solutions<br />"Marketing Solutions That Deliver Sooner Results"<br />Marketer<br />soonermarketingsolutions.com<br /><br />Abel Rodriguez<br />ARC Outdoorsmen<br />"Creating &amp; Maintaining Your Outdoor Living"<br />Owner<br />arcoutdoorsmen.com<br /><br />Chance Jones<br />Threaded Industries<br />Owner<br />threadedindustries.com<br /><br />Stone Shew<br />StoneCo DownFlo Seamless Guttering<br />"Got Flow?"<br />Owner<br />guttersok.com<br /><br />Nathan Sweats<br />Anthem Companies<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brews-business--5630487/support</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51044015</guid><pubDate>Sun, 28 Aug 2022 19:21:57 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/51044015/strategies_to_improve_work_efficiency_mixdown_1.mp3" length="83844078" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Braedon Kruse</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What does it mean to Fail?
