121 - Ted Neward is back for part 2
I've known my friend, Ted Neward, for several years. We met at a tech conference when I accidentally almost ran up behind him to give him a big bear hug because I mistook him for someone else. We've remained friends ever since. Ted is the Director of Technology Culture at Quicken Loans. In this interview, Ted shares his experiences shifting the entire culture of a large technical team from working 10% remotely to 100% remotely. Ted also reminds us to invest into your people during the good times so they will be flexible during the hard times, to empathize with employees, and also "eat your own dogfood." All of the things Quicken Loans has done so well during this unprecedented novel coronavirus pandemic. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did while recording it.

116 - Lee Brandt, founder KC Developer Conference
Lee Brandt founded the Kansas City Developer Conference 12 years ago because he noticed the tech scene was lacking. There were 120 attendees at that first conference and it has steadily grown to nearly 2500 attendees in 2019. Today KCDC is a non-profit organization that leads the charge for tech polyglot (multiple technologies and leadership skills) conferences. They created a collaborative community to help support local tech businesses in the Kansas City area. With COVID-19 influencing conferences worldwide, I stopped to ask Lee about some of the challenges conference organizers are facing, and possible solutions that he is witnessing within the conference community. In this interview we discuss potential hardships for conference organizers and tips for speakers who are wanting to still stay connected. Learn more at Email general questions to Email

113 - Michael Dowden pt 2
Part 2 with Michael Dowden and it’s all about accessibility. Michael Dowden is co-author of “Approachable Accessibility: Planning for Success” available now on . Today on Luckygirl: A Bite-sized Podcast for Solopreneurs he discusses the importance of accessibility, how users use assistive devices to help them navigate websites, and tips you can use right now to take an audit of your own website. Tips for auditing your website: Push the mouse to the side and just use keystrokes. Can users still access key information? Keyboard access is important. Are their pop-ups that are obstructing the view? Consider transcripts for your podcasts. Consider captions on your videos. Screen readers are assistive devices that take the text on the page and they interpret the structure of the page. So you must name common elements like navigation, content, sidebar content, to identify the areas for screen readers. Make sure the heading levels are in order. An image must have an alt text to describe the rest of the text around it. Color Contrast to help users who may have color blindness, as an example. Make sure the information can be processed and read to differentiate the contrast between the elements on the screen. Make sure the background is not too noisy Google has a materials design library that can be used for resources Follow @mrdowden on twitter Buy the book

While he always thought he would work for himself, Cory House took a financially conservative route to becoming a solopreneur. He is a dad of 3 children and the ebb and flow of income was too risky for him. So he made the decision to live conservatively and stay with him employer until he had a comfortable enough nest egg to weather the ebb and flow of entrepreneurship. The response to his recent independence was met with unequaled support. Cory double-majored in marketing and advertising so everything he has built around his brand is focused around 4 pillars: 1. product 2. price 3. place 4. promotion When he tweeted about his independence on Twitter, companies jumped at the opportunity to work with him.

110 - Michael Dowden: software architect, author, and consultant.
From a young age, Michael Dowden had an entrepreneurial spirit. Doing odd jobs when he was young, to building his own consulting agency, to managing a successful startup, means he has lots of experience to share with small business owners. As a software architect Michael focuses on the K.I.S.S. principle, keeping systems as simple as possible (but no simpler). Michael is passionate about lightweight frameworks in both Java and JavaScript ecosystems, often pointing out that Java is to JavaScript as Car is to Carrot. Since 1992 he has provided full-stack technology expertise to deliver usable, scalable, and secure web-based solutions to more than 60 companies, from startups to the Fortune 100. As an MBA Michael focuses on solutions that provide true business value and always works to improve collaboration and communication between teams. He has been an entrepreneur his entire life, operating several businesses and founding 5 startups. He loves working with and advising other entrepreneurs and is always working on developing new ideas. His book, "Programming Languages ABC++" has worked its way into the lives of my own children, and he continues to influence technologists with his new book on web accessibility. We recently met on an adventure mastermind experience in Antarctica (see www. ) and he shared his journey in entrepreneurship and how he and his family create their own luck by designing a business and a lifestyle that meets their needs. Michael would be happy to: • Help your company capture additional revenue from their unused parking • Speak at your next conference or event • Coach your software development team • Develop a prototype web or mobile application for your startup • Autograph your copy of Programming Languages ABC++ Learn more at Christina Aldan is the CEO/founder of LG Designs () and a digital media marketer who travels the world speaking to tech industry folks, entrepreneurs, and female business owners

Co-Founder and CEO of TWIP—Travel With Interesting People, Lauren A. Koenig is one of the emerging female stars of the travel-technology industry and an expert in the field of travel behavior. Born in Chicago, Lauren worked for the French Ministry of Education and The International Kitchen before delving into travel psychology and founding TWIP with former Evernote tech wonder Heather Wilde. By asking the right questions during her years of global enterprise, Lauren hit upon a key gap in travel-tech: 35 million Americans sacrifice leisure travel for fear of traveling alone, yet assuaging that fear is not as simple as offering group excursions. The crux of the problem, she knew, lay in the little-understood fact that people are different when away from home.Only a comprehensive understanding of travel behavior could empower travelers to find the right companions and experiences, while equipping providers with the means to identify, understand and reach their ideal client base. Through scientific assessment of a person’s Travanality®, or travel identity, TWIP’s pioneering, patented technology matches travelers to travelers and travelers to experiences, the natural results of which are stimulated demand, personalized adventures, happy travelers, and profitable brands. Guided by Lauren and her impressive team of travel and media veterans, TWIP has earned the 2018 Lufthansa Group Innovation Award, People’s Choice accolades at 2017’s Phocuswright Innovation Summit, and finalist recognition for Max Penfolds’ Maximum Funding. Lauren is a distinguished alumna of the Women's StartUp Lab Accelerator in San Francisco and 20/20 Startups Accelerator in NYC, and a frequent speaker on travel behavior. This year she was the keynote speaker at the Women In Technology Conference at Ball State University and featured expert at the MetaBridge Conference in British Columbia, Canada, the Pangea Dreams Retreat in Amorgos, Greece, the Target Marketing Conference [and Travel Marketing Summit] in New York, NY, and the Nurse Innovation & Entrepreneurship Hackathon & Summit in Boston, MA.

From victim to hero. Julia Lazareck is closing the empathy gap. After her brother passed away while incarcerated, Julia realized she had been living the sentence along with him. After coming to this realization, Julia started talking to people and was lucky to find a support group. She was at a low point in her life, confused with guilt and shame, but these people showed her that she could live her own life and that she had a lot of life left. Julia founded the blog where she told her story and began interviewing people so that they could share their stories and raise awareness about the traumatic experience families go through having a loved one incarcerated. The Nevada Department of Corrections, FIT, and CURE have been great programs for people with re-entry, bringing more support to the families so they can lead balanced lives, and work with the local support group Friends and Family of Incarcerated Persons (FFIP).
