Lindsay Pinchuk is an award-winning entrepreneur, consultant, community builder, connector, storyteller, expert marketer, social media maven, spokesperson, on-air expert, small business champion, and MOM. TRULY she is all of those things.
In this episode, we share with you an incredible individual who has truly impacted us personally and professionally. Lindsay is infectious in in all the best ways. With a $500 investment and a baby on the way, she left a high-powered job as a magazine publishing executive and founded her first company, Bump Club and Beyond. Now, just over a decade later, she is empowering, teaching, inspiring, community building, and connecting all over again with her podcast, Dear FoundHer.
This episode is a real and raw conversation about being a woman in the working world. We discuss themes Lindsay has learned from the female founders she has met, spoken to, shared stories with and how these are transferable to so many aspects of life. We talk about how to fill our dream or life buckets from childhood to those that arise as an adult. We also discuss how to manage, reinvent, process, and reframe failures. This is a woman who is the ultimate multitasker and will light a fire under you after you listen.

Now a spry 72 years young, Melissa Davey can add filmmaker, director, and executive producer to her list of accomplishments. After almost 3.5 decades in both nonprofit and for profit legal services for the disabled, an interaction with M. Night Shyamalan changed everything. At 65, Melissa left corporate America to pursue her dream of film making. In 2018, Melissa Davey completed her first film, Beyond Sixty, a feature length documentary about women over the age of sixty. Talk about reinventing yourself and your path. In this episode, you will learn that it is truly never too late to learn something new or take a risk. We discuss how one story or interaction can truly change your life. We discuss the impacts of ageism and how to confront them or overcome them. We learn how she went from knowing nothing about film making to winning multiple awards at various film festivals in the USA and Canada. Please take a moment and watch this movie: we promise you will not regret it. Links to view this film are easily accessible through our website with one-to-two clicks: Watch Movie. Melissa’s second film, Climbing into Life, is currently in post-production. Women have the ability to do anything they want if they try. What is it going to be?

Anne Marie Rogers is first class all the way, pun-intended. She is the Director of Meetings, Incentives & Events for a company called Direct Travel where she oversees all aspects of client meetings and events, including sales, procurement, planning and operations for their corporate customers. What is incentive travel you may ask? Imagine the company that takes their Top 100 employees to Hawaii - she, with her team, will plan all of the details for this trip, and sometimes also travel along to ensure everything is executed properly. Anne Marie has been in the travel industry for many years, and with Direct Travel since 1996. She is known in the events industry for strong supplier relationships, her understanding of contracts, and her leadership and negotiation skills. She has received both her CIS (Certified Incentive Specialist) and her CITP (Certified Incentive Travel Professional) designations.
In this episode, we discuss trends in the travel industry, the best day to book a flight or travel, the importance of planning ahead or time of day you should be traveling depending on the purpose of the trip. We learn about the various idiosyncrasies of personal travel, leisure travel, business travel, and incentive travel, and truly what each of these really mean in the real world. With her intimate relationship with the travel industry, she also provides insight into the travel world post COVID: the why and how of flight frustrations, costs, cancellations, and delays. This is one episode for the personal or business traveler where everyone will learn something. Anne Marie said it best: Traveling is one of the greatest way to eliminate any prejudice by experiencing the world around you. Connect with Anne Marie: arogers@dt.com

Jennifer is just like us: she is a working woman, wife, daughter, sister, and mother. Yes, we also believe she is the most fabulous designer, creator and artist, but at the end of the day, her passion is building women up and making them feel and look their best. She is truly a woman's best friend that you can carry with you daily, especially if you have one of her pieces.
In this episode, we delve further into Jennifer's world. We talk about about the trends coming this fall and winter: the ones that work and the ones that don't work. We talk about the colors and shapes that are important in the coming seasons. Have you ever thought about the time and skill set it requires to actually make a comfortable yet fashionable, quality shoe? Jennifer shares her own anecdotes of how COVID impacted the fashion industry, and how that transpired into what you are seeing in the stores and online today.
This conversation could have continued for hours. We love Jennifer Tattanelli, and hope she brings as much joy and inspiration to you as she does to us! Be sure to check out her Instagram.

Let’s talk tailoring, alterations, and laundry. In this episode, we welcome Reza Ayat, the owner and tailor at Le Monde Tailor in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. You will learn what you can and cannot have altered or tailored, different ways jeans can be hemmed or changed, what fabrics work and do not work for alterations, how to properly wash or dry certain garments, how to remove a stain yourself (or not), and much more. Reza will share some of the important ins and outs of finding the right tailor for you, what you need to bring to a fitting or alteration, and when you should look elsewhere. Reza puts his relationships with his clients first: if it will be more expensive to alter a piece than the item's worth, he will be the first to tell you.
