TSM.23-12. Maureen Karen & BIPOC career woman…


Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Marleen Karen, on air from March 21st

Maureen had a stroke which interrupted her career, but what she learnt from it and how it has helped her become a better mentor, is profound. She helps women of colour, find their own way forward into living a life of choice, care, community, and communication, so they are living their best life.

We empower BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) professional women who are stuck on the corporate ladder to move forward in their career.

?are you a professional female who’s sick and tired of only “staying in your lane” when you KNOW that you were meant for more?

?is the excuse of HR hiring another candidate who was the right fit when you not only have all the requirements, but EXCEED them as well?

?is being overlooked, ignored and only being given menial tasks no longer your cup of tea?

?are you exhausted from having those same old headaches and pain of constantly overworking in your position, but not being valued or appreciated for your labour?

Ever since leaving high school, I have always been either the only or one of 2 or 3 Black female students in the classroom. However, I did not let that disparity prevent me from excelling and proving myself and my worth.  By continually progressing due to being denied advancement on the educational and professional front, I quickly realized that I was an example of a dichotomous division in those circles.  Also, I became acutely aware of limitations that I, as a Black female, would have to face since there’s a huge lack of representation which hinders my ability to take part in innovative and inclusive practices.

BB23-10. Sarry Ibrahim is Thinking Like a Bank.” 


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Sarry Ibrahim, on air from March 7th

Infinite Banking and how it helps business owners and real estate investors grow more wealth over time.  I help business owners and real estate investors grow safe and predictable wealth without worrying about market conditions. I also help clients protect their assets from various risks (like creditor risks).

Part of the strategy that Sarry uses involves changing your mindset when it comes to money. His motto is to ‘think like a bank’. Which is why he named his podcast “Thinking Like a Bank.” 

Sarry Ibrahim is a financial specialist, private money lender, real-estate investor and member of the Bank On Yourself Organization. He helps business owners, real estate investors, and full time employees grow safe and predictable wealth regardless of market conditions using a financial strategy that has been around for over 160 years.

Sarry started this journey when he was in grad school completing his MBA. He worked for companies like Allstate, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Healthspring, and Humana before founding Financial Asset Protection, a financial services firm that focuses on one sole concept; the Bank On Yourself ® concept.

BB23-9. Mary Lee Gannon & Freedom is Success.


Building your business wit Sara Troy and her guest Mary Lee Gannon, on air from February 28th

My topic is relevant for anyone who wants to be respected at work, advance in their career, and prioritize well-being without being so overworked they don’t connect with the people who matter.

I went from welfare, food stamps, medical assistance, being homeless and without an automobile to quickly being a CEO of a $33 million organization.

My “Why?” is that working harder is not the only necessary strategy to advance in your career. At a certain level everyone does that. Yet really hard working and great people get passed over in their careers because they either haven’t positioned their value proposition to create measurable impact, or they sit back waiting for their merits to get noticed. I help leader advance quickly and feel satisfied.

Success is freedom. Not more hours, says Executive Coach Mary Lee Gannon. Mary Lee was a stay at home mother of four children living what looked on the outside to be the country club life yet she was in an unpalatable marriage. She filed for divorce as a leap of faith, not at all prepared for the avalanche that befell her. Within six months she and her children were homeless, without an automobile and on welfare, food stamps, and medical assistance. She quickly reinvented her life as the CEO of organizations worth up to $33 million to support her family. She helps leaders get off the treadmill to nowhere and be respected, advance in their careers and prioritize well-being with her 5 Star Leader Formula.

Mary Lee began her executive leadership quest on the heels of a divorce as a single mother of four children under seven-years-old on welfare. She committed herself to the intention that public assistance was not the way she would lead her life and realized that to support five people she didn’t have time to go back to school or work her way to the top. She freelanced as a writer and public relations consultant to feed her children while she built her toolbelt of leadership quantifiers. She assessed her signature strengths, developed her transferable skills, volunteered to showcase measurable accomplishments, built connections, and grew a sphere of influence. Her first full time role in corporate America was as a president of a hospital foundation when she had held no prior paid positions in the field. As she grew her portfolio of successes, so grew the size of the organizations she ran and her income. Today, she is the CEO of a $33 million hospital foundation and is also an executive coach whose mission is to help good people become respected leaders quickly so they can enjoy a great life with people they care about without compromising their well-being.  Success is freedom. Not more hours.

BB23-07. Cassandra Little, Energy Behind Your Brand & Website.


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Cassandra Little, on air from February 14th

Energy is something that is felt or experienced. As a highly sensitive individual, my awareness was highly in tune with the frequency of everything around me. I was consciously aware of my outer environment, my inner environment and everything in between. As a creative, and as many creatives know, it’s harder to create when you are stressed, or distracted, or focused on anything other than the task at hand. I struggled for many years to move forward in my business because there was too much energy working against me, and not enough supporting me. The biggest thing that made a difference for me was working with scalar energy tools and incorporating various energy practices that help me to connect more easily with what I call the flow state. In this space, I am supported, expansive and feel more connected to my authentic self – where everything just flows. As I continually worked to strengthen this muscle and be in this creative flow, the natural momentum of things would build and come into my life – clients, connections, relationships, opportunities. This led me to want to show others that there is a different way – a different way to doing business. We aren’t met to force, or push, or manipulate our businesses – this goes against the natural rhythm of flow. Can we connect and sit in our inner frequency, and allow this to be the invitation to opening us into creating an abundant business?

I’ve never been big on labels but if I would to give myself a title I would say I am an Intuitive Designer & Alignment Facilitator. How I got here was a merging of two worlds… I originally studied and went to school for graphic and website design. This ignited my passion for creation, and design. This led me to dive deeper into the digital world, learning all things about marketing, analytics, websites, emails, design, social media. I worked with many start up entrepreneurs helping them establish and create their online presence. Although I loved it, there was a part of me that felt like something was missing. So I ventured into more of the spiritual side of things, learning various different kinds of energetic and healing modalities – reiki, subtle aromatherapy, soulful communication, light healing, thai massage, sound healing, metaphysical anatomy technique – to name a few. I loved supporting people to shed the layers they needed to connect with their innermost self, and move forward in creating the life they deserved. So here I was with two passions, both in two seemingly different worlds that felt quite opposite from each other. 

Fast forward to today, I help clients develop an authentic brand, and create a website that matches with the essence of who they are. Along with this I use different techniques and tools to energetically support them in moving into a coherent space within them so they can go forward and weave that energy into their business.

BB23-06. Paul Valach with Linked-in & Google Tips.


Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Paul Miroslav Valach, on air from February 7th

New LinkedIn Newsletter -how it works with all the other social network apps. In the end it is YOUR newsletter. You are the publisher, hey a new title you decide what photos, what links, what list or videos are a part of it. You can link to your partner’s website, social places or landing pages. You can create ‘call to actions’ or just simply provide useful information. You can publish at a daily, weekly or monthly frequency. There is no penalty if you skip for any reason. The best part is it is FREE from LinkedIn. The key though is to make it work for you and get you clients or business. The benefit of this newsletter is also what your topic is about. It can be about your business but it can also be about a cause. So choose wisely.
