Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Brenden Kumarasamy, on air from August 4th.
Brenden is the founder of MasterTalk, a YouTube channel he started to help the world master the art of public speaking and communication. He coaches purpose-driven entrepreneurs on how to master their message and share their ideas with the world.
Despite all the presentations I’ve given over my life, I still remember to this day how scared I was to post my first YouTube video.
I didn’t look like anything in my workshops or presentations, but I went ahead with this project for one reason.
As an experienced speaker and facilitator, Brenden understands that audience members need to walk away captivated, and above all, inspired to master the art of communication. It should be seen as something to look forward to rather than a burden that must be overcome.
Impact.
A wise friend once told me that I couldn’t possibly coach every human being on Earth with the limited time I had in my life, so I needed to go on video to share my message with the world. I got over my fear, practiced 100’s of times on camera until I was finally able to say that I was “YouTube Ready”.
All’s to say that when you care about others and only want to add value, you’ll be able to overcome any fear/obstacle in the service of others.

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Deborah Laurel, on air from August 4th
A Benefit for Small Business Owners- Peer Learning Groups. It’s lonely at the top. I know because I have a small business. Small business owners face a steep learning curve. For many, it may be the very first time they have run a business or supervised employees. If they have the time, resources and the access, they can take advantage of classes. But the need for learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. On a daily basis, small business owners face complex new challenges that they need to address- and they may be at a loss to know what to do.
It is also very isolating at the top. There may be a kitchen cabinet of close associates who can recommend policies and procedures, but the owner has to ultimately make the decisions. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a group of other non-competitive small business owners with whom to discuss issues, sound out options, and search out solutions? A support group where the members can speak openly and learn together? It would have to be a group that required a brief time commitment and met no more than every other month. It would be helpful if that group followed a structured process with a focus on a timely issue. In other words, if it offered a just-in-time microlearning option to support small business owners as they navigate unknown waters. The Peer Learning Institute has developed a Peer Learning Group program that is entirely self-directed. No facilitator is required. It targets a specific management topic.
There are two 90- minute sessions a month apart. In the intervening month, the members support each other as they put what they learned into practice. They then debrief in the next session, sharing their experience. If they like, they can continue with another topic. Bridge the isolation, make it less lonely to be a small business owner. Meet with peers in your industry, share and learn from each other, create a supportive community, and become better at managing your business.

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Ais Esther, on air from July 21st
I would like to talk about archetypes and how they can assist each of us on our individual soul path, but also us as communities, navigating collective themes. I have just completed a book on the Archetypes of the Major Arcana (tarot), and these are the basic characters and tendencies that we meet as we walk our human path, but archetypes are found everywhere; in social and political history, or in cultural mythology, and even, if you are very adventurous, in our galactic family.
Dr Ais Esther is a lecturer, writer, and reader. She has a Doctorate in Philosophy and numerous qualifications in the healing arts. She has just completed her first book, ‘The Map: Archetypes of the Major Arcana” which will be available at the end of the year.
