Welcome to this special episode of #REALTALK, sponsored by Alterna Savings, the first full-service, member-owned, co-operative financial institution outside Quebec. Our host Cherry Rose Tan will be talking about how to create connection in this hybrid world of in-person and remote work.
We start this episode by acknowledging how tough it has been for small business owners and entrepreneurs. It may be hard to reconnect with people dear to us after an exhausting and confusing year. In this hybrid world, there will be times when we are connecting with other people in-person with things being reopened. These changes mean meeting other people remotely using different platforms. Of course, when we meet people and try to connect with them, we want it to be rich, emotional, and also deep.
There are three different types of people that we can connect with in this hybrid world: your co-workers, friends, and community. These are the people that you want to build connections with. After a year of feeling physically and emotionally separated from them, it may cause extreme loneliness to people, specifically for business owners and entrepreneurs. Sometimes, you may feel that you have lost your friendship and are awkward at times.
Cherry Rose shared a lot of tips on how you can create and build connections with your co-workers, friends, and community. She also shared different strategies on how you can build and maintain those bonds, once they have been rekindled. Share with us the strategy that created an impact on you. Tune in now!

#REALTALK would like to give thanks to Alterna Savings for sponsoring today’s episode. After more than a tough year for most entrepreneurs, we are talking about how to recharge this summer. Through this podcast, our host Cherry Rose Tan will be able to talk about how to recover, rejuvenate, and give our mind and body a much needed break.
One of the strategies that we discuss is: exercising our boundaries. Exercising our boundaries means that we have to identify what our boundaries are. To put it simply, it is setting meaningful time away from work and knowing when to stop. Setting a self care routine, no weekend work, or even giving yourself a full 8-hour sleep, are some examples of boundaries that are non-negotiable and don't involve work.
Apart from exercising boundaries, another strategy is to get yourself enough rest. Take rest seriously. Get those workloads done ahead of time and prepare a timetable to do all the things that have to be done. Another strategy given is to add everyday variety in the activities you engage in, allowing you to unlock other senses that you have. In this way, you will not feel burnt out from your work week.
Stay tuned and get recharged!

#REALTALK would like to give special thanks to Alterna Savings for sponsoring today’s episode. For our Season 2 finale, we are covering the art of difficult conversations. This topic is inspired by our active club on Clubhouse called Founder Mental Health. Every Tuesday night, entrepreneurs are gathered to share and support one another.
We know that it is a trying time for entrepreneurs, who are navigating complex relationships and exhausting situations. As a leader, it is a privilege and our responsibility to take the lead. Our host Cherry Rose Tan shares tactical strategies on mastering difficult conversations with our Team, our Mentors, and our Friends. These strategies are also being applied by Cherry Rose to her team and her clients.
For Team, we can use the tools of container and alignment, creating temporary spaces for sensitive topics. Aside from our employees, we also have mentors, the people we seek for help and can see our blindspots. Cherry Rose encourages entrepreneurs to reach out to mentors, deepening the relationships and acknowledging their contributions to you. Cherry Rose also shared two tools to engage in difficult conversations with mentors: experience and introduction. These tools will help your mentor to know what you really need.
Cherry Rose talks about the importance of social networks, such as friends, to develop our emotional well-being. Even though we are experiencing this pandemic, let them know that you are still thinking of them and are willing to listen. Cherry Rose also shared tools on how to rekindle your relationship with your friends: accountability and acknowledgement.
Stay tuned and apply the tools we have shared with you!

In today’s show of #REALTALK, our host Cherry Rose Tan had an incredible interview with Jennifer Love, a wealth philosopher, money therapist and the founding CEO of The Living Wealthy Institute. This is the second time that we have Jennifer as our guest in #REALTALK because we have been getting lots of questions from people in our community about financial stress and how it impacts our lives and even businesses.
The conversation begins with how Jennifer started around money. As she further explained, talking about money is very sensitive to people. It elicits lots of emotions for us, such as, fear, anxiety, frustration, resentment, anger, and everything in between. These feelings are not safe and not comfortable to feel. Also, Jennifer is thankful on #REALTALK for opening this conversation about money as it will serve as a safe place for people to come, reflect, and contemplate.
As the interview continued, Jennifer shared more stories about money when she was little until she started to have clients of her own. Awareness is the key in understanding the impact of money on us. Moreover, Jennifer discussed the multiple wealth zones and the two parts of living wealthy. There are more important matters that they have talked about like the signs that you need to start the work around money and wealth, the role of your beliefs around money, and a whole lot more.

In today’s episode of #REALTALK, our host Cherry Rose interviewed the person near and dear to her, Jay Wong. Jay and Cherry Rose got connected as they worked together for a year on this #REALTALK Podcast, which covers the mental health journey of founders and investors in the tech industry. Jay Wong is the founder and CEO of Podcast Your Brand, one of North America’s top podcast agencies. He works with large enterprises and thought leaders in the field of podcasting.
As the interview progressed, Jay shared that podcasting can help entrepreneurs if it is correctly utilized. Unlike other channels, like social media, podcasting is a dialogue that you create with your community. It is not the content that matters, it is the context. How many people can relate to you? How many people can you reach out and peak their interest? It is a win-win situation for both the entrepreneurs and your listeners.
Podcasting is a platform used to communicate to a wide range of people, especially if podcasting is your target audience. As an entrepreneur, podcasting really helped Jay in expanding his network. He tried different things before and podcasting was the last thing he tried. It really did change his life. Podcasting can capture your journey and document your breakthroughs. You will be able to see your transformation over time.
To conclude their wonderful conversation, it is important to stand for yourself and what you believed in. Through podcasting, you can share with people your beliefs and the values that you’re holding to. This episode will give you insight into how #REALTALK moved from stories to this national platform. Enjoy!

In today’s show of #REALTALK, Cherry Rose Tan shares three practical tips to rebuild your business and life so that you can end the year on a strong note.
The first tip that we talk about is work-life integration.
The work-from-home model has totally blurred lines between the personal and the professional. Needless to say, this new normal can drastically impact our capability to do “deep work”.
We are continuously required to switch between our personal and professional tasks – which is extremely counter-productive. In this first segment of the show, Cherry Rose Tan shares some practical tips so that we can regain our FOCUS in spite of all the distractions.
Secondly, you will receive some valuable lessons on risk mitigation.
COVID is a black swan event that has disrupted our lives and businesses in a huge way. In this scenario, it is easy to play the blame game instead of retaining an objective mindset. Cherry Rose Tab shares how prepping 90-day plans can help you get tangible and actionable insights.
The last segment of the show is particularly interesting as Cherry Rose Tan talks about the importance of systems and processes. Cataloging a solution, whenever you solve a problem can create a powerful playbook that can be easily referenced whenever required. Additionally, you will also learn how can use psychometrics to assess your personality type and your work style.
We hope you enjoy this show!

In today’s show, Cherry Rose Tan interviews Sheetal Jaitly, CEO of TribalScale. Entrepreneurs and founders are going through some unprecedented times owing to the pandemic. Today, Sheetal shares some great advice for protecting your well-being in challenging times.
We start this show with Sheetal sharing a bit of his background. Sheetal credits his entrepreneur father for his incredible fighting spirit – something that has held him in good stead over the years. Having experienced a tough childhood, Sheetal made up his mind to “never end up in that space again.”
As the CEO of a large technology organization, Sheetal has some interesting insights for listeners. Mental health is still a taboo topic for most organizations. After all, you don’t want to come across as “weak” and “vulnerable”.
Right?
In today’s show, Sheetal shares how business leaders can facilitate safe spaces where employees can have open and honest conversations. Especially, in these challenging times, for many of us, work-life balance has gone for a complete toss. As leaders and business founders, how can you cultivate and show empathy towards your people?
Sheetal also has some great advice for young folks who are starting their professional lives in these trying times.
Other topics discussed in today’s show include dealing with personal loss, and tips for handling negative criticism.

In today’s show, our host, Cherry interviews Caterina Rizzi, Founder, Hotline, and co-founder, Breather. Caterina has some great tips for entrepreneurs who wish to enhance their mental and physical well-being.
We start this show by discussing the far-reaching impact of COVID on startups. With the economy sliding into a recession, there is a scramble for the little funding that is still available in the market. Many young entrepreneurs who are witnessing a widespread recession for the first time are experiencing extreme overwhelm. So, what steps can you take to survive this challenge brought about by the pandemic?
Next, we talk about the importance of self-care. Sure. You need to be in top gear when the shit hits the fan. However, when things subside, you need some normalcy in your life. You need to realize that you are not invincible and carve out some precious “me” time – which will help prevent burnout and even enhance your work output.
We also talk about the importance of networking with like-minded peers. As you dive into the nitty-gritty of your business, you will discover that your friends and family are unable to provide the mental support you need.
Caterina also shares her experiences as a women entrepreneur in the startup world. With the technology space dominated completely by male founders, Caterina shares how women founders find it incredibly difficult to raise funds compared to their male counterparts.
Other topics discussed in today’s show include the need to openly talk about your failures, using therapy for mental wellness, and tips for startup founders who are grappling with extreme anxiety.
