Welcome to episode 55 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.
This week I am excited to share conversations I had with entrepreneurs from around the world. A new episode each day from Monday December 13 to Friday December 17 will air as my guests will share their journey to entrepreneurship.
Being an entrepreneur takes tenacity, determination, motivation, and the ability to keep going even when it may seem like there are many hurdles to jump over. If you have a fire in your belly to do something that is calling to you, then listen in to hear how these entrepreneurs made their way.
On Wednesday, December 15, I welcome my guest Joanne Colella, Owner, Colella Communications, LLC.
Joanne provides professional copywriting, editing, proofreading, and marketing services to a wide range of businesses and individuals throughout the U.S. and abroad. A lifelong fan of anything having to do with the written word and a self-described compulsive editor and proofreader, she has an extensive career in advertising, marketing, journalism, and publishing, including serving as the editor-in-chief of five monthly magazines in New Jersey. In 2017, she decided to pursue her longtime dream of starting her own business and launched Colella Communications. In the past few years alone, she has edited books for several authors and created website content, marketing materials, presentations, video scripts, news articles, and other publicity for dozens of diverse clients.
A Brooklyn native who lived for more than 30 years in New Jersey before relocating to Arizona, Joanne is a member of numerous professional associations and organizations and an active volunteer in the community. She takes joy in creating excellent content for every client, but is particularly passionate about helping to share uplifting news about nonprofits and others who are paying it forward and making a positive difference in the world. You can contact Joanne via her website or on Facebook.
Listen in to hear Joanne's answer to 'if you knew then, what you know now' from each one of my guests.
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. For those with a calling for it though, these stories will serve as inspiration to take steps towards reaching their entrepreneurial goals. Hearing others talk about bringing a concept, idea, dream to fruition can provide all of us with some motivation to take one step, small or large, forward toward our goals.
On December 22, my guest will be Fred Wasiak, President & CEO of The Food Bank of South Jersey. From hearing how Fred found himself leading the team at the Food Bank of South Jersey, to hearing how he helps to keep his team connected and motivated as a front line organization. Fred shares so much more about his journey. There is one specific story that you will not want to miss listening to. It has to do with Fred and his daughter, Meg walking in graduation together for their Master Degrees. You will have to listen in to fully understand, but bring the tissues.
