#196 – A Positive People & Profit-Driven Mindset: Business Consultancy, Women Entrepreneurs, Taking Advice & The Right Perspective With Carol Evans

Carol Evans; author, entrepreneur, business consultant & proponent of a positive mindset, is the guest this week, to give her perspective on running a successful business, along with her two-decade-long journey!

In more detail, Carol starts by explaining how her love for music & performance translated into her business mindset, while providing an idea of what her work is, how travelling around the world has changed her perspective, where her passion for business stems from, some of the pitfalls of a new business and her positivity. Carol then speaks about women in business and why female entrepreneurs often underperform and how one can go about changing this, how one must accept help and that the profitability of a business is directly linked to how much time one puts in – this is a conversation for any entrepreneurs, risk-takers, business owners or people wanting motivation to push themselves further!

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Ty Yorrick’s Origin Story & The Dark-Sider Temple, Plus Tholothians, Gundarks and The Rising Storm (The Monster Of Temple Peak) – Ep 87

TY TORRICK’S MYSTERIOUS PAST IS REVEALED! Mike starts this episode with a brief bio on Ty Yorrick, where the Monster Of Temple Peak comics sit in The High Republic and what Tholothians (Ty’s species) are before he delves into the plot of issue 1. As well as going through the plot of these 4 issues, Mike provides information on various species (including Gundarks, Segredos & more), various planets and other connections to the rest of the SW universe – this episode is a must-listen for any fans of The High Republic book The Rising Storm!

These High Republic comics are set in 231BBY, in the first phase & second wave of the High Republic; after Light Of The Jedi but before The Rising Storm.

The Monster Of Temple Peak 1 was released 11th August 2021, issue 4 was released November 17th 2021 and the trade paperback collection is to be confirmed. Cavan Scott is the writer of these comics, with Rachael Stott as artist (& cover artist) with Vita Efrenova & Nicola Righi as colour artists.

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in February 2022. Mike tackled the first volume of High Republic comics (by Cavan Scott) in episode 84 of SWCIC and the first volume of HR Adventures comics (by Daniel José Older) in episode 86 of SWCIC.

Mike’s High Republic book reviews are found on Comics In Motion’s feed and on Mike’s YouTube: Light Of The Jedi was released March 13th 2021, A Test Of Courage: August 14th 2021, Into The Dark: October 2nd 2021 and The Rising Storm was released November 13th 2021. Race To Crashpoint Tower was out last week (February 6th 2022) and Out Of The Shadows will be released later in 2022.

Check out the last episode of SWCIC, which was another spoiler-free book review from the High Republic era, continuing with the second wave (of the first phase) with Race To Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older – the junior novel which runs parallel to the “adult” novel, The Rising Storm, with a bunch of new and familiar characters!

For this ep, Mike is doing another spoiler-free book review from the High Republic era, continuing with the second wave (of the first phase) with Race To Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older – the junior novel which runs parallel to the “adult” novel, The Rising Storm, with a bunch of new and familiar characters!

Mike proceeds to talk about the way RTCT connects to The Rising Storm (with some mild TRS spoilers) and give some plot details from the first chapter or two of this book. Nearer the end Mike then explains RTCT’s plot (in brief) before giving his final thoughts and confirming what’s next for SWCIC!

Race To Crashpoint Tower was released June 29th 2021 and is by Daniel José Older. He has also written the Han & Lando book Last Shot and all of IDW Publishing’s High Republic Adventures comics plus the Trail Of Shadows mini-series.

Race To Crashpoint Tower is the junior novel of the second wave of the High Republic’s first phase along with the “adult” novel The Rising Storm and the YA book Out Of The Shadows, all set in 231BBY. Wave 3 (due early 2022) will include Claudia Gray’s “adult” novel The Fallen Star plus junior-novel Mission To Disaster by Justina Ireland and Daniel José Older’s young-adult novel Midnight Horizon.

New Ways To Support Mike!

We’ve added this information into the new page “Support Mike”, but wanted to make a post to make all subscribers aware that there are now 2 ways to financially support Mike & his podcasts – weekly or one-off payments/donations and either way, you will still receive bonus content!

If you want to make one-off payments/donations/tips, then going to https://ko-fi.com/genuinechitchat is the best way forward. You can give as little as £1, up to however much you desire! Mike will also send you links to some of the Patreon-exclusive Afterthoughts episodes! I will send you some bonus content for any donation. For £1-1.99 you will get 2 episodes of Afterthoughts, for £2-4.99 you will get 5 episodes, for £5-9.99 you will get 12 and for £10+ you will get 25! When donating, provide an email or your social media handle and I will send you a link to access the episodes. If you want any specific episodes, such as “MCU movies”, “Indie movies”, “musicals”, “days out/holidays”, or anything else similar, Mike will try his best to accommodate!

If you wanted to contribute a monthly amount to Mike, you can do-so via Patreon and will receive instant access to every episode of Afterthoughts on a podcast feed (which you can put into your preferred podcast app), and will have access to every future episode too!
For starters, Mike and Megan record “Afterthoughts” once or twice a week, giving their thoughts on a movie, series or live performance they’ve seen, or give their thoughts on a recent trip/holiday they’ve been on – episodes are usually between 10-20 minutes – three of these are already available for free; Witcher S1, Spider-Man 3 and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace!

In addition, any patrons will also get access to the extra-long GCC episodes in their entirety (instead of part 1 being released and then part 2 a week later, they get both parts in one go, at release of part 1) and early access to any book reviews posted on the feed of Star Wars: Comics In Canon – many of these are Star Wars Legends reviews & plot overviews, not available anywhere else!

Supporters on Patreon will receive an RSS link that they can put into their podcast app/player of choice for easy access to GCC’s Patreon content, or you can listen on the desktop site or app of Patreon itself!

Anyone who supports Mike via either method will as a bonus, receive one portion of his undying love, as this covers some of the costs of podcasting, which keeps the passion alive!

Go here to support the show monthly, or just check out the free stuff https://www.patreon.com/genuinechitchat

Go here to send a one-off donation/tip to Mike and receive a small collection of Afterthoughts episodes: https://ko-fi.com/genuinechitchat

Not convinced? Check out this YouTube video explaining it a bit more (keeping in mind the smallest Patreon amount is now only £1 (instead of £2 as in the video)!: https://youtu.be/xLc6G0GJeVQ

This is what you’ll see on the Patreon feed if you support the show!

Sar Wars: Comics In Canon – THR: The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott, Review & Overview – Nihil Attack The Republic Fair On Valo, Plus Ty Yorrick, Elzar Mann & The Tempest Runner – The High Republic (Phase 1, Wave 2)

This episode, Mike is doing another spoiler-free book review & plot overview from the High Republic’s second wave; The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott – the “main adult” novel with a huge amount of characters, major plot points and shocking moments!

In more detail, in the first half, Mike gives a information on the other releases for The High Republic (the first two waves within Phase 1), gives some background/plot information on the book and then delves into his spoiler-free review; providing information from the blurb, the themes, how it continues from Light Of The Jedi, what he enjoyed about it, which characters have returned and details found within the first few pages. Mike then reads out the blurb & crawl before providing more details on the characters and their general journeys/thoughts, the state of the Republic at the start of this book, the wider themes and how they impact story elements, as well as how it fits in with other High Republic material, which all falls into light-spoiler territory. He then talks about “connected content”, primarily the tie-in High Republic comics and gives a mini-review of the Tempest Runner audio drama before giving plenty of warning and delving into his more detailed review, which still doesn’t fully spoil the book but it does mention some plot details right at the very end, so you can listen to as little or as much info about The Rising Storm before picking it up yourself.

Please note this episode was first released in November 2021 on the podcast feed of Comics In Motion, plus Mike interviewed Cavan in April 2022, watch it here: ⁠⁠https://youtu.be/G5MYClEk_9c⁠⁠ The Rising Storm was released June 29th 2021 by Cavan Scott.

The Rising Storm is the adult novel of the second wave of the High Republic’s first phase along with Out Of The Shadows and Race To Crashpoint Tower, while Wave 3 (out 2022) includes The Fallen Star, Mission To Disaster and Midnight Horizon.

From the first wave of phase 1 is Light Of The Jedi, A Test Of Courage & Into The Dark, which Mike has reviewed on this show in 2021; LotJ was March, AToC was August and ItD was October.

Star Wars THR: Into The Dark by Claudia Gray Review & Overview – Reath Silas, Orla Jareni, Cohmac Vitus, Drengir Origins & More – The High Republic (Phase 1, Wave 1)

In this episode, Mike is doing another spoiler-free book review from the High Republic era; Into The Dark by Claudia Gray! Although the book is a “young adult” novel, it’s still an excellent read for teenagers & adults alike and is part of the first wave of the first phase of High Republic content, focusing primarily on padawan Reath Silas & the Drengir!

In more detail, for the first half of the episode, Mike gives a bit of information on the other releases for The High Republic (the first two waves within Phase 1) and then delves into his spoiler-free review; primarily providing information from the blurb and within the first few pages; talking about the book’s themes, what he enjoyed about it and how it impacts the rest of The High Republic. In the second half, Mike provides more details on the characters within the story and gives examples on how the book’s themes work with the story being told and how it fits in with other High Republic material, which falls into light-spoiler territory. He gives plenty of warning before delving into his more detailed review, so you can listen to as little or as much info about Into The Dark before picking it up yourself – Mike ends the review with a general overview of the other High Republic books and talking about where they fit chronologically with the comics & other High Republic content.

Into The Dark was released February 2nd 2021 by Claudia Gray. She has also written the young adult novels Lost Stars and Leia: Princess Of Alderaan, as well as the “adult” novels Master & Apprentice and Bloodline. She has also recently announced The Fallen Star; the third “adult” book in The High Republic era.

Please note this episode was originally released in October 2021 on the feed of Comics In Motion.

Into The Dark is from Phase 1, Wave 1 of The High Republic, also in Wave 1 is Light Of The Jedi and A Test Of Courage. Phase 1, Wave 2 includes The Rising Storm, Out Of The Shadows and Race To Crashpoint Tower and Wave 3 (due early 2022) will include Claudia Gray’s “adult” novel The Fallen Star plus junior-novel Mission To Disaster and young-adult novel Midnight Horizon.

Mike also interviewed Claudia Gray on December 12th 2020, so make sure you check that out if you haven’t already!

Check out the last episode of SWCIC for the third full chapter in the War Of The Bounty Hunters crossover, with a ton of action, characters & connections! Join Mike as he takes you through the 6 issues where Valance & Dengar are hunted by Deathstick, Zuckuss gets more canon backstory, Qi’ra takes on Darth Vader, Boba Fett fights everyone’s favourite wookiee and Luke reflects on his time against the dark lord all while Aphra & Sana Starros try to hide from the action while stealing some high-value artifacts – all of this plus many facts & connections from Mike!

TRIGGER WARNING! This week Mike speaks with Shaun Hamilton; writer of the book “When your Partner Says #MeToo: Your Role And Responsibilities In Their Recovery Process”, to talk about the book itself and what a someone’s role is when their partner is attempting to recover from sexual violence.

Shaun then explains the “three paths” illustrating the mindsets one can have as a partner of someone going through recovery, the methodology used in his book and the environment one must create, Shaun then explains the difficulties he faced in writing a book of this nature, his definition of recovery and his wife’s experience with Rapid Resolution Therapy (TED Talk link detailing this below), plus other related topics – this is an intense, but incredibly important listen.

Star Wars: A Test Of Courage by Justina Ireland Review & Overview – Vernestra Rwoh, Imri Cantaros, Dalna & More – The High Republic Era, Phase 1 Wave 1

This ep, Mike is doing another High Republic spoiler-free book review; A Test Of Courage by Justina Ireland! Although the book is aimed at “middle-school” readers, this is a book that will appeal to all ages due to the writing, characters and themes throughout.

In the second half, Mike provides more details on the new characters and gives examples on how the book’s themes work so well with the story being told, which falls into light-spoiler territory. He gives plenty of warning before delving into his more detailed review, so you can listen to as little or as much info about AToC before picking it up yourself – Mike ends the review with a spoiler-free overview of the first 3 High Republic books and talking about where they fit chronologically with the comics & other High Republic content.

A Test Of Courage is from Phase 1, Wave 1 of The High Republic, also in Wave 1 is Light Of The Jedi and Into The Dark.

A Test Of Courage was released January 5th 2021 by Justina Ireland. She has also written the young adult novel Out Of The Shadows; a “sequel” to both Claudia Gray’s Into The Dark and AToC in The High Republic, plus the War Of The Bounty Hunters Jabba one-shot comic and the junior novels Lando’s Luck and Spark Of The Resistance.

In the last episode of SWCIC, Mike takes you through the first Doctor Aphra adventure from the 2020 comic run where Aphra is back to doing what she loves; finding & selling rare artifacts and almost dying in the process! Join everyone’s favourite rogue archaeologist with a whole new cast of characters and crazy situations that brings mystery, great dialogue and lots of connections to other Star Wars content that Mike will take you through, including info about the Kubaz species, the Tagge family, cursed bone cities and more!

This week, in part 1 (part 2 will be out next week, but is available now on Patreon), the conversation starts by BZ & Tonya defining their own religious/spiritual beliefs and BZ explains why he is so open with his love of God, before Tonya explains her connection with God and asks Mike why he has embarked on so many religious discussions recently. After BZ talks about being inquisitive, Tonya & BZ explore attributing achievements to God while still putting the effort in and listening for God’s guidance.

In part 2 (out next week) the trio’s discussion on God continues, with BZ and Tonya explaining how & where their current relationship with God started, before talking about how they perceive God, when they feel closest to God, combating adversity, favourite “religion” places, why Tonya continues to believe there is a powerful presence in all of ours lives and so much more!

Previously, BZ has been on episodes 180 & 130 of GCC and Tonya has been on episodes 97, 101, 114, 141 & 172.

#171 Pt 1 – “Poetry Saved My Life”: A Love Of Poetry, Writing & Book Recommendations With Ada McCartney

All things literature are the focus of this week’s GCC episode where Mike is joined by Ada McCartney discussing her love of poetry, books and swear words, especially “the C bomb” (which is mainly discussed in the second half)!

This week is part 1 of their discussion (all Patreon supporters already have access to part 2), where Ada explains how she started listening to and guesting on podcasts through friend of the show Tony Farina, the duo then discuss some of their recent favourite (audio)books, their respective opinions on Shakespeare and then Ada delves into her own love of poetry; how it started, her published works and why she enjoys it so much. Part 1 of their conversation draws to a close with Ada talking about her published works and their conversation on the C word (cunt) begins!

Next week, for part 2, the discussion on the swear word Cunt goes into full-swing! Ada talks about her chapbook release “Cunt Poems” and why she wrote a collection of poems surrounding the word, how the UK & US view the word differently, which leads to Mike telling Ada about the UK Channel 4 show “Naked Attraction” and the conversation nears its end when Ada explains why she is such a proponent for Yoga and her experiences with it!
