Chris Efessiou Author Interview on @BookGoodies Podcast @ChiefDaddyOfcr

Author Chris Efessiou joins BookGoodies podcast host Deborah Carney to talk about books, writing and current projects.

Entrepreneur, business leader, international speaker, radio show host, author and father Christos Efessiou knows a thing or two about success. In the past 20 years, Chris has founded, co-founded, developed, and managed multiple successful enterprises—all the while being a committed and present single parent.

Widely known for his business acumen, empowering management style, and out of the box thinking, Chris is committed to inspiring and guiding working parents to attain success at work and at home. Through speaking, coaching and his book CDO Chief Daddy Officer, he clearly defines the fundamentals of solid leadership critical in both arenas, and provides tools, tips and advice on how to transfer business skills to the business of parenting and personal relationships.

His story is a testament to any entrepreneur’s bravery and strives towards jubilation. Chris left his homeland of Greece at the age of 19 to enroll as an exchange student at a U.S. high school in the Boston area. He had less than a year to learn a language he did not speak and earn admittance to an American college or else he would be forced to return to Greece to work for his father’s company—a future that would be undoubtedly secure, yet dishearteningly dependent. Now the founder, President, and CEO of SRxA-Strategic Pharmaceutical Advisors, an international consulting, marketing, and education firm, Chris’s story is a testament to every young person’s brave first steps out along that quivering, indefinite, yet ultimately rewarding wire of risk.

A sought after mentor and teacher, Chris is a visiting professor and guest lecturer at numerous academic institutions, including George Mason University’s School of Management, and Northeastern University. A business leader and advocate, Chris serves as member of the Management Committee of the Small Business Council of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and is a keynote speaker on various topics, nationally and internationally.

Affecting future generations of business leaders by bringing CDO’s message to college classrooms around the nation is Chris’s ultimate goal. He will also work with entrepreneurs and business professionals to help them develop and successfully transfer their skills from the office to the home.

Ghostwriter Cynthia MacGregor Interviewed on @BookGoodies Podcast

Ghostwriter Cynthia MacGregor joins BookGoodies podcast host Deborah Carney to talk about the services she provides for authors.

The services I provide for authors are editing and ghostwriting.

As an editor I fine-tune book manuscripts and bring out the best in them. This is a service I provide for authors who are self-pubbing AND those who are submitting to editors at conventional publishing houses. Those submitting to traditional publishers want their books in the best possible shape before submitting, to give them the best shot at acceptance. Those who are self-publishing naturally need an editor to rid their manuscripts of any errors and generally improve them in every way so that they are publication-ready.

As a ghostwriter I have helped many would-be authors who had ideas for a book–fiction or nonfiction–but lacked the time, the skills, or both to actually bring that idea to fruition as a completed manuscript.

Author Cathy McAlister joins BookGoodies podcast hosts Deborah Carney and Karen Garcia to talk about books, writing and current projects.

Cathy was born and raised in Tennessee. She is a farmer and raises pigs, dairy cows, goats, and horses. The inspiration for her first children’s book came from when she got Priscilla, her first piglet. Priscilla brought Cathy so much love and joy, she wanted to share it with the world. That is how “Priscilla the Peppermint Pig” came to be written. It is the first in a series of books about Cathy’s pigs. There will be more adventures from Cathy’s farm coming soon.

Working from home as a marketing specialist for an internet company gives Cathy some free time to work on Arts and Crafts. Ceramic Pigs are her specialty. She also enjoys wood working, needle crafts and gourd art made from her own homegrown gourds.

At a recent book signing, Cathy found that people of all ages fell in love with her book. It is a great story that anyone can enjoy!

WAHMoms/WAHDads host Deborah Carney is joined by guest Felicia Gopaul.


Tell us a little about yourself:
I got married and have two beautiful girls. I’ve been working from home off and on since 1997. This time around, I’ve been working from home since 2008. I have a college consulting business where I serve and solve the college education problems of middle class families. My kids are 8-11.

I was a guest speaker at Joseph Hurley’s Savingforcollege.com 529 Boot Camp for Advisors, a presenter at the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc Financial Planning Clinic, has been a guest on Point of View, Daily Connections, Protect Your American Dream and What’s In Your Hand. I have contributed my views and articles that appeared in The Star-Ledger, Garden State Woman Magazine, The Bottom Line, MorningstarAdvisor.com and divorce360.com. Mrs. Gopaul is highly sought after and has spoken at: Anderson Consulting, Mitchell & Titus LLP, Department of Treasury – US Mint, New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners, Social Security Administration and many other organizations.

I am a member of the National Institute of Certified College Planners.

As a work at home parent what is your biggest challenge?
Balancing my family and work life. My father has dementia and recently moved in with us. My kids are both in elementary school and sometimes, everyone seems to need me at the same time. When my dad is attending adult day care and the kid’s are in school, I can work but sometimes it seems it need to work late into the evening to do the work necessary for my business. Both myself and my husband seem to be getting the short end of the stick right now.

What is the biggest advantage to being a work at home parent?
Being able to be there for my family as needed. If my kids are sick or my dad has a doctor’s appointment, I have the flexibility to do what is necessary for them. I can also take off during the day for a massage or a walk so I’m recharged when everyone returns.

As a work at home parent what advice would you give other work at home parents?
Ask for the help that you need and hire staff to take some of the routine items that you hate off your plate.

WAHM-WHAD Podcast With Work At Home Dad Joshua Belland

WAHMoms/WAHDads hosts Deborah Carney and Karen Garcia are joined by work at home dad Joshua Belland.


Tell us a little about yourself:
I am a 26 year old stay at home father that works from home with a 2 year old son. I used to be a salesmen in a more corporate setting where my quotas were over 1 million dollars per year. This put a lot of strain on my family and I because I was always thinking about work. I believe it was a blessing in disguise when the let me go. That is when I decided to start my I own web design & company. My company is located in Houston and is fairly successful. Now, I enjoy what I do tremendously because it is something I am passionate about and I get to spend more time with my family.
The most important things in my life are God and Family. Taking the time to spend with them is essential to my marriage and relationship with my son, Caden. I try to be an active member in my community by volunteering to help friend in need or coordinating fundraisers when I can.

My hobbies include playing the guitar, working in the yard, and training for 5k’s with my wife. My wife and I try to keep our hobbies similar because it gives us more time together and I believe that is essential to maintain a connection when having such a busy life.

As a work at home parent what is your biggest challenge?
My biggest challenge is getting people to understand that working from home is just like having a real job. Working at home is not what people think it is. If you are successful, you are just as busy as would be at a an office. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way. My wife is a teacher and has the summers off, which you think would be nice right?

It is very difficult to get work done when your spouse is at home with you taking the day off or comes home early. It can be very distracting and they naturally want demand more of your time. My wife sees it as an opportunity to spend more time with me, while I have to remind her that she has to treat it just like I am away from home at the office.

My clients work from 8-5 Monday through Friday so I have to as well. As a web designer things go wrong and fires have to be put out. When they need something fixed during working hours, I can’t tell my clients, “Hold on Ms. Smith; let me just finish shopping with my wife and I’ll get to that later when I have time for you.”

Understandably, my clients want the same attention that large firm would give them. So, in order to compete with that, I have set very strict boundaries at the home while I am working.

What is the biggest advantage to being a work at home parent?
The biggest advantage is the flexibility. While boundaries must be set, I am still my own boss. I can change around my own schedule to take a day off. If my son has a doctors appointment, I can arrange to take him to the doctor. Not only can I work from home, but I can work from anywhere. Because I’m a web designer, I can simply take my work with me when I go out of town or on a trip.

Having flexibility gives me peace of mind because I don’t have to worry about what my boss is going to say if I request a day off. I simply make my schedule and inform my clients.

As a work at home parent what advice would you give other work at home parents?
My advice is to set up your office in a bedroom or somewhere where you can shut the door. At first, I had my office in our formal dining room because it had a lot of space. Unfortunately, that room connected with our living space and every time I sat down with the family, my computer was staring me right in the face. You still need to separate your work from home; even when you work from home!

Don’t lose sight of what is important and at the same time, set boundaries so you don’t get distracted from your work. It is definitely a balancing act, but once you get it down, it can work out pretty well.
