How are the new goals and resolutions going? We have some good ways we are using to stay on track if you’ve gotten off. Forming new habits takes time and dedication, but the journey is the growth and the results will be very fulfilling! Sticking to them is only going to happen when you have set plans and a strategy and system in place!
With the new year ahead we're MillenniYelling today about what’s in store for America’s largest generation in the coming year in trends. Millennials have been getting some heat from Gen Z on how we style our hair, to fashion trends, to how we travel, and even a lot more heat about our lifestyles and differences in parenting, and work ethic to name a few from our Boomer parents. Here are the top millennial trends we’ll see in 2023.
First, live show of the new year! Welcome, 2023, and our special guest Jordan McCauley. A lifelong native of the Hershey/Harrisburg area, Jordan currently resides in the Rutherford neighborhood with his wife Megan and 5-year-old daughter Isla. A large portion of Jordan’s life has been spent in some mode or blend of performance. This ranges from being a standout member of his high school choir, featured in starring roles in local theatre in the early 2000s, being the frontman of a successful local rock band in the mid-2000s, and now - for the past 10 years - conducting instructor-led software training across multiple industries. Circumstances have even come full circle for Mr. McCauley as he finds himself fronting yet another local musical act (namely ‘Saint Eldred’) with his slightly older but far more attractive and charming cousin Josh Herb. When Jordan doesn’t find himself in front of a doting crowd, he loves, almost more than anything, spending time outdoors working with his wife doing what he affectionately calls “yardening” - a combination of landscaping and gardening. Other hobbies include firearms training, reading military-based fiction novels, and combining his love of sound and spirits by drinking whiskey while listening to his favorite vinyl records.

Mel and Billy got to MillenniYell with Brian on Friday's episode about Gen Z, Coaching, and even leadership and how difficult it is to deal with many different personalities in our professions and personal life.

Let's MillenniYell with Coach Brian Osborne! As a fellow millennial, Brian grew up in Camp Hill, PA and participated in just about every sport, and was fortunate enough to attend catholic school for 12 years. He pursued collegiate soccer and track & field at Misericordia University, then transferred to Temple University where he graduated with a degree in Sport and Recreation Management. Since then, Brian has held numerous jobs to coincide with his passion—coaching. He has coached high school basketball, soccer, and track & field at multiple local high schools and now has found himself as the head men’s soccer coach and an admissions outreach coordinator for Central Penn College. His dream job has always been to coach college athletics full-time, not just for the fun of sports, but to help the younger generations develop into productive members of society.Coach Osborne’s journey has required moments of resiliency, compassion, and patience. A stint as a contestant on ABC’s The Bachelorette has provided a platform to speak on his experiences, lessons, and gained knowledge.
Join Mel and our special guest, Krissy Cressler from last Friday's podcast to kick off the first week of Mel's "Monday Mindful." We'll be sharing stories, journies, struggles, tips, podcasts, books, and all things that will help us all to move out of our discomfort and reach our potential in life. What Is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be present, aware of where we are and what we are doing, and not excessively reactive or overwhelmed by what is going on around us. Mindfulness can be described as “moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a specific way, that is, in the present moment, and as non-reactively, as non-judgmentally, and as openheartedly as possible." When it is cultivated intentionally, it is referred to as deliberate mindfulness. When it spontaneously arises, it is referred to as effortless mindfulness.
Billy and Mel are joined by Special Guest, Krissy Cressler. She is an author, mother of 6 children in a blended family and a master certified spray tan technician for 9 years and a certified piercing technician. Recently a Women’s empowerment award winner at her last spray tan conference. She sits on many committees to support small business growth. Krissy started her consulting business 5 years ago and her mission is to help others achieve their goals in life and in business by helping them rebuild confidence from the inside out and help women rise to new levels. She wrote a book in 2020 (Let’s Glow Girl) about helping women not feel alone and how to master their mindset and gain confidence back quicker so they can continue on their journey to the best version of themselves and every woman deserves that feeling, she calls it The Glow Up!HTTPS://inphone.co/krissycressler
While many of you went shopping today to grab new items and gifts on Black Friday, we are also seeing vintage and used items as a hot trend right now with fashion and even home décor. Mel will be talking to 3 local businesses who embrace the retro and vintage look and items.

Styles go in and out a style all the time. Here is the list of things that some people will find cringe-worthy styles that will be millennials' fault in 20 years.
Here is Billy and Mel's take on what is right (and what THEY have) and what won't be cringy, or will it? Give us your thoughts!
Mel and Nell, our friend from enTiceing media and What the Nell Podcast determined earlier this year that they are more alike than they even realized already, they are both from Baltimore, MD, and in fact, Catonsville, and are going to Yell about it.
Hop on and add in if you're from Baltimore, and love crabs, old bay, and football, that's what Maryland does!
Had a blast (from the past AND future) with Nikki from the Hershey History Center this week doing a podcast off-site.

Quiet quitting is taking social media by storm, but you might not have noticed..... because it isn’t really about quitting.

Hop on LIVE at 5:30 today with a drink in hand and football on in the background to YELL on their first "Sunday Sips". Make sure to check back for Mel's upcoming Why Not YELL with Mel and Nell! (from What the Nell Podcast!)
The student loan forgiveness plan announced this week will be a hot topic amongst Millennials all over and there are many opinions good and bad.
Most of Generation Y have been paying or already paid off students loans over the last 15 years. Some never took them out at all and paid for their education outright, or their parents did. Has this been a deterrent for buying houses and starting families due to our student loan debt?
Helpful to some, hurtful to others? Benefit or reward? What will this do to the future generations to be financially irresponsible?
Let's MillenniYELL about it!
Are Millennials now "too old" for the internet? We were the first generation who grew up with it, but Gen Z'ers grew up with social media.

From careers to divorce, to dieting. Making significant lifestyle changes and big decisions in life can be scary, but what is scarier is wasting more time in unhealthy situations or continuing things you will regret later down the road.
The biggest decisions impact not just you but those around you. Getting married, getting divorced, and having a child all affect loved ones and many struggle to decide what is best not just for ourselves but those around us. It’s these kinds of decisions that we should reflect on the most.
A “big” decision is one in which you intentionally made a choice between two or more options knowing that the outcome would have a significant and often long-term impact for yourself or others.
Let's MillenniYell with Billy and Mel and share YOUR biggest life decisions!
Intentional Growth takes time. We are back MillenniYelling about the changes we have made, HUGE life changes, and where we are headed.

It's never too early to start planning ahead for your future, whether with retirement, investments, rental properties, saving for your future children, BUT also thinking ahead to what’s going to happen with our parents, their wishes, their money, and their belongings. Having discussions now so that we know what they want to happen, and having a discussion about our own future so that our spouses and future children know what we want as well.

We'd love for you to join us and set your own goals, plans, and let's be each others' accountibilibuddies!
Hey guys we took a little of a break but we are back.
Life leads us to some crazy places sometimes. Sometimes we don't expect to end up where we do.
Life is full of crossroads and that is what we want to share with you today.
Often or not it's hard to know what choices will lead to a major shift in your life but that is how it is.
Billy and Mel have made tons of big-time decisions that have to lead them where they are today.
Come check out our journey and share with us what lead you to where you are today with us.
There are a couple of things in life that we should never talk about.
One of those things is money.
Don't believe me. Well, why don't you ask someone how much they make in a year or how much they paid for something.
Every time the issue of money comes up it often stirs up a lot of emotion.
Today on the MillenniYell we are going to explore why we feel the way we do about money.
We will also touch on the fact that we need to have money as part of the conversation if we are going to ever improve on the situation.
Today is national honesty day.
We are going to discuss the importance of being honest with yourself.
If you want to grow as a person you first have to admit that you have flaws. Once you admit that you can have real change.
We will also discuss why it's important, to be honest in business as well.
Sometimes we just need to let go.
Britney Spears was right some people are just toxic in their lives.
However, it's not always easy but there are sometimes we need to let go of things or people in our lives.
It's not healthy to use to hold on to those things because it will only make things worse in the end for us.
Today we are going to talk about why it important, What are some signs, and how to deal with a toxic relationship.
Mel is in the 10X Bootcamp today so we have a special guest with Billy! Shannon Claire (returning guest) and Billy will be talking about Gender Stereotypes is not an easy topic to talk about.
However, it is a real issue that affects a lot of people and can hold back people from accomplishing great things.
No matter who you are you can be anything that you want to be.
Join us today as we talk about how each new generation is challenging these stereotypes.
If you look at the most successful people in the world there are a lot of things that they have in common.
One of them is that they have some type of mentor or coach.
Believe it or not but you do not have all the answers. If you did google wouldn't exist. People would come to you and be calling you all hours of the day.
Even the most successful people need someone to go to for answers. Today we will be Yelling about do we need a coach?
Can a coach take you to the next level or help you stop living in the past.
What kind of areas do we need coaching in and how to find a great coach.
Like we said before if you want to change your life you have to change the way you think!
“When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this – you haven’t.”
Thomas Edison (American inventor and businessman)
It's important for us all to understand:
*Knowing how and when to ASK for advice.
*Knowing WHO to take advice from and LISTEN.
*Knowing when to take advice and when to ignore it.
(Even when you don't ASK for it!)
*Knowing that WE ALL NEED TO TAKE ADVICE.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by feedback, but it's MORE important to be able to take the advice given. In Business, Relationships, Friendships, Leadership, and MORE, being able to LISTEN to those giving advice to help is important. We get it, some people give poor advice or shouldn't be giving any at all!
But, there are many people who have WAY more experience than us, and it's how will we grow and be greater than we are by listening and learning from others' perspectives and experiences.
Sometimes, the more we know about some things, the more we assume we know about everything. WE DON'T! Hop on LIVE with Billy and Mel Friday at 12pm to discuss how it's helped us to take advice, even when it hurts our egos!
Billy and Mel are excited to #MillenniYell with Kelly and Rob Ruth after their phenomenal experience at the 2021 10X Growth Con in Miami last weekend. If you watched the podcast Saturday, you only got a glimpse and hopefully, it inspired some of you to want more. Do more. Dream more. And TAKE ACTION.
The speakers are inspiring, the networking is motivating, and the experience is truly life-changing. Although Mel didn't get to the Diamond Yacht Party with Fat Joe and LIV nightclub to see 50 Cent, Rob and Kelly DID, and we can't wait to hear all about their experience when they levelled up, which Mel is now determined to do.
What does 10X mean to you?
Have you read The 10X Rule or heard about Grand Cardone's mission to help people improve their life, business, marriage, finances, and everything they strive to do and to stop being average. When you change your mindset to be a DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to succeed for your family, employees, community, and self, you will change your plan of action.
Achieve "Massive Action" results and accomplish your business dreams! While most people operate with only three degrees of action-no action, retreat, or normal action-if you're after big goals, you don't want to settle for the ordinary.
See you Fridays at 12!
Mel is in Miami for 10X and we're doing another MillenniYell After Dark to YELL about her experience there so far!
“Rarely can a response make something better, what makes something better is connection.” – Brené Brown
Who is ready for our episode of “MillenniYell After Dark” … AKA we are really busy today! Join Billy and Mel at 6 pm today to talk about something we empaths can have difficulty with: people with little or no empathy.
Empathy is feeling WITH people. We talked last week about healthy relationships and that communication and honesty were key factors, and so is empathy.
What’s the difference between empathy and sympathy? Basically, emotion.
Some say that our survival and success depend critically on our ability to thrive in complex social situations, and actions done by other, their intentions, and their emotions can be felt through empathy. At home, with friends, and at the workplace, it becomes more difficult to repair conflicts, work collaboratively, or solve problems when we don't practice empathy.
We’ll also touch on mirror neurons that Mel just learned about this week.
Hop on at 6 pm and MillenniYELL with us about putting our self in someone else’s shoes!
Relationships are a full-time career.
They require time, effort, energy to make sure that they are successful.
Today Billy and Mel will be discussing what it takes to be successful and some things that we need to avoid.
Really will be just talking about all things relationships.
No one is perfect so stop trying to make everything perfect in your relationship. It is time that we be are ourselves and let our hair down.
Please make sure you comment and the relationship questions in the comments below. We love to try to help in any way we can.
Laughing emoji. Skinny jeans. Side part.
We have talked about Millennials getting hated on by Boomers for stereotypical negative habits and lifestyles (aka having a different upbringing than you) but now there's fake generational warfare going on because of TikTok (I mean enough said) with the generation BELOW us, Gen Z, for what we wear.
While in reality, we are also resilient and busy working on our goals, not paying that much mind, however, it has taken social media by storm and it's Friday so Billy and Mel need a topic to #MillenniYell about!
"It's fun to tease older people when you’re young, because pretty much your only power over them is cultural, and people hate feeling old and uncool." Like many Millennial's favorite Mariah Carey, we are asking "Why are you are so obsessed with me?" and will get down to some deeper conversation about other generations.
There are literally so many mean things you can say about Gen Z, but we're busy building an empire.... and watering all our indoor plants
Are you ready for Valentine's Day?
Well if you are not then you are in luck because Billy and Mel will be Yelling about it on today's show.
We will be sharing what we like and dislike about that day.
We will be even sharing some top gifts for him and her to complete your last-minute shopping ideas.
Make sure you tune in at 12pm!
How important is your brand to your business?
Well if you were to catch our show on the top Millennial brands then you know it's super important.
People have to know, like, and trust you in order to do business with you. Your personal brand will not only bring in clients but it will keep them coming back.
In this episode, we will be talking about personal brands and why it is important with our special guest Shannon Confair.
So make sure to bring all your branding questions and enjoy the show.
We going back in time today!
Have you ever said I wish I knew then what I know now?
I think that everyone feels that way and wishes they could go back in time to do things differently.
Today Billy and Mel will be going back in time and sharing what they wish they knew when they were younger.
It should be a fun show so make sure you jump on and share with us what is something you would have told your younger self.
Are you an overthinker?
Are you thinking right now about how much you overthink?
Then my guess is yes! Mel and I today are going to be discussing whether or not we are over thinkers.
Maybe some reasons why we overthink and some things that we do to get past it.
Talk about the pros and cons of being an overthinker.
If you are an overthinker please join us for a quick conversation and share your thoughts.
Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.
Today on MillenniYell we will discuss what it means to be a good leader and even what a bad leader looks like.
We will share some of our experiences dealing with both.
A good leader can move mountains and a bad leader can destroy everything.
So is everyone you know starting a side hustle business?
The answer is yes and it because people want extra money to pay off debt, buy things, or just to have financial stability.
Today, we are going to be Yelling about the importance of having a side hustle and how you can start one.
So join us today for another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel!
What are your new year's resolutions!
There are the normal ones that everyone goes after like debt, weight, or drink less. What we are going to talk about some unusual resolutions.
We will discuss whether or not we would do them as well as share what we learned in 2020.
How we will use that to make 2021 a better year than in 2020.
Let's be honest the bar is set really low so let's make it happen!
It is another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel.
Merry Christmas eve and we have a special show for you today!
Mel and I will be testing our knowledge today. Today we will figure out if we are smarter than a 5th grader.
We will be answering a series of questions to see which one of us will be the champion lol.
Who will get the title?
Make sure you tune in and answer along with us.
Millennial entrepreneurs and those looking to become one.... this podcast is for you! An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. The road to entrepreneurship is often a treacherous one filled with unexpected detours, roadblocks and dead ends, lots of sleepless nights, plans that don't work out, funding that doesn't come through, and customers that never materialize. BUT the rewards can be greater than any corporate job, as well as the flexibility to be your own boss!
The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, services, and business/or procedures. Despite the hardships, every year, thousands of entrepreneurs embark on this journey determined to bring their vision to fruition and fill a need they see in society, even in 2020 during a pandemic!
Mel was featured in the 2011 Central Penn Business Journal's Young Entrepreneur Article and this ACTUALLY did happen years later as many of your know with her shop in Linglestown. “My 3-5 year goal is to have a small shop where I will sell my retail cards and invitations, as well as many other unique and handmade items,” she said. “The shop also (will) have an open small studio in the back or a loft that I can meet with brides and clients and work on-site as well.”
Today, Billy and Mel are going to YELL about their own process of designing, launching, and running a new business, the ups and downs, what's happened along the way, and some tips!
It's that time to join us for another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel.
Today is a special episode where Billy and Mel with reviewing the good, the bad, and the ugly that was 2020.
It's our version of the state of the union address.
We learned a lot about ourselves and what we need to do for 2021.
We will also be sharing our goals for next year and we want to hear yours!
So join us and make sure to Yell along with us.
It's another episode of MillenniYell with just Billy today!
What we are going to talk about today is Billy's top Christmas movies and the most overrated traditions in Christmas
We Millennials love getting into the Christmas spirit.
Please make sure you join today and comment!
We hope you are all stuffed full of turkey, love, and laughter!
In honor of Black Friday today - but more importantly - Small Business Saturday tomorrow - Billy and Mel have some great things to #MillenniYell about today!
It's the Holiday Season... So hoop-de-do and hickory dock! A few weeks ago we Yelled about our favorite Millennial Music and since now it's that time for Christmas music to get us in the Holiday spirit, we're ready for holiday shopping! It's also time to Yell how important it is, more than ever that we #ShopLocal to support our small businesses.
We've been all trying hard this year during the pandemic to support our local businesses, but join us today to shout about YOUR favorite shops and restaurants to support during the holidays. Hear what Billy and Mel think are great Millennial gifts and how to give back to the community as well!
It's another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel and today we will be #MillenniYelling about customer service.
Mel and Billy both have to experience the good, the bad, and the ugly went it comes to customer service.
Customer service can make or break a business. So we will be sharing our experiences on why it's important and how to do it.
Billy and Mel are both huge music fans - Mel especially with live music - and believes that each memory has a soundtrack of it's own.... or is it that the soundtrack has the memory that comes along with it?
As Millennials, we sure grew up listening to a wide variety of music in the 90's and 2000's. Mel's a huge fan of 80's and Classic Rock - and even 90's and 2000's R&B like Billy, too! The 2nd time they met, Billy's playlist surprised Mel with JaRule and Ashanti! Mel even grew up listening to (the real) oldies in the car with her mom and sister.
The 90's included chart-topping hits from R&B heavyweights Boyz II Men and En Vogue, grunge rock bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and pop legends such as the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls and we're going to #MillenniYell all about it! We want to hear YOUR favorites and memories about concerts and the music that fueled your soul growing up!
Just remember, if you want to be happy you must be willing to dance to the beat of your own drum!
Attention fellow MillenniYellers! Today is another eposide of MillenniYell but today will be a little different. In today's show we will have a special guest Phil Simmons and #MillenniYelling about Motivation. We will be chatting about his journey from corporate America to becoming his own boss and how he motivates his clients on a daily basis, and what motivates him.
“You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.” – John C. Maxwell
When it comes to getting results, it takes motivation and ability. Motivation makes things happen. Where there’s no will, there’s no way. One of the best ways to improve your personal effectiveness is to master your motivation and find your drive.
Happy Saturday Millennials! Let's have some fun today!
What's YOUR color code? Personalities say A LOT about us and who we are, how we act, react, interact.
Hartman Personality Profile, sometimes known as "The People Code", created by Dr. Taylor Hartman, divides personalities into four colors: Red (motivated by power) Blue (motivated by intimacy) White (motivated by peace) Yellow (motivated by fun).
Although different groups of people have different demographics, the general breakdown suggests: Reds comprise 25% of the population Blues 35% Whites 20% and Yellows 20%.

This MillenniYell is all about stress! Every generation deals with stress. Whether it is from our finances, family, health, and even our careers.
We will be yelling about how it has affected us as a generation and some of the things we do on a daily basis to fight the stress.
We all know that Money can sure buy lots of things, but there are some things money can’t buy. Billy knows this all too well being in the Financial industry, but knowing what's more important than Money is key.
Benjamin Franklin once said the following: “Money has never made man happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.” How do YOU feel about the importance of Money?
Mel's journey over the last several years includes LOTS of emotions about money. To feel happy and secure we need to have enough money to cover our basic needs and not having to worry to have enough money to put food on the table, or being able to pay medical bills or emergency car repairs.
But what else can it give you? And can't? Let's YELL about how it can't truly make us happy, when we are not for other reasons and why.
We've all heard the Beatles song.... "Money Can't buy me love" and for us winos - "Money can't buy happiness, but it buy wine and that's almost the same thing" but all jokes aside, join us for some money #MillenniYelling LIVE!
Hello Fellow Yellers. It's time once again for another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel. If there is one thing that Millennials are known for it is that we are brand loyal!
For us, it's all about the brand and what the brand stands for. We will be going over the top 20 brands voted on by Millennials. Billy and Mel will be sharing their thoughts on the list and might share a couple of brands that they love as well. Tune and tell us what are your favorite brands?
📢 Hey Yellers! 📢 Its time for another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel! 2020 is almost over (thank GOD) and its time for a goal audit.
Today we will be #MillenniYelling about the goals that we set and how everything is going. We will be sharing our victories and our losses.
Without failure, there can not be growth. Mel's office poster says it all: "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently" - Henry Ford.
Come check us out as we chat about how we are going to set up next year for success.
That momentum for 2021 starts today!
Where is the World is .... Billy and Mel (are you're thinking Carmen Sandiego like I am singing?) This podcast is all about TRAVEL and where Billy and Mel want to go. We know Millennials LOVE to travel and value experiences. We told you where WE want to go, and we'd love you all to watch and post where YOU would love to travel to and sights to see and experience! There's history, relaxation, sight seeing, and so much more.
Mel's planning a trip to Lake Louise with her friend and Travel Butler, Jason Holland for next year and you should too, whether for a weekend get-a-way or 2 week experience!
Billy and Mel are #MillenniYelling about things that make them tick! If you don't know them by now, now ya know! And I'm sure many of you Millennials or not, have some of the same. Loud chewing, driving slow in the left lane, generalizations. Join in with what grinds your gears, too!
As Millennials, self-doubt can be the ultimate sabotage to ourselves and leads us then to procrastinating, criticizing ourselves, and fear behind not taking chances we should. It also leads to comparing ourselves to others (which we just #MillenniYelled about last week) ending in frustration and tears.
We all do it - whether due to comparing, fear, low self-esteem, or other reasons.
Our parents always told us we are SPECIAL and can do anything and everything we set our minds on. As we got older, our views of ‘success’ and ‘making it’ start to change (with responsibilities and #adulting) and we realize the world doesn’t owe us anything even if we do our best.
Billy and Mel are #MillenniYelling about the thought that learning to TRUST OURSELVES is a better solution than trying to completely rid self-doubt (which is human nature) and refocus our mindsets away from self-doubt, and how it can still be a great catalyst for change by learning how to focus on that doubt.
SSHHH - Don't talk about it - Divorce. The dirty word we can't say. Shhh - the failed marriage and stigmas that come along with Millennials marriages not panning out to be what we thought, hoped, or expected.
While many Millennials are waiting later to get married and concentrating on careers and finding their person, some ARE going through or have been Divorced. There are many reasons marriage does not last, and after different time frames.
Mel got divorced 4 years ago, and recently her friend Sam did too, and they are here to #MillenniYell to say that's it is OK!
OK to acknowledge that our marriages weren't (or aren't) working. OK to admit maybe you weren't ready. OK to face our fears to start the conversation. OK to be alone and wait until we are in a better place to date. OK to start searching for love again when we are ready.
We all WILL come out of this OK and the courage and bravery that it takes to recognize and move forward will make and shape us into better people.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We are here, like many others for comfort, motivation, and care. Grab your wine and let's YELL together.
Welcome to another episode of MillenniYell with Billy and Mel! One of the biggest enemies that we will have in our lives is ourselves. We will be our biggest doubters, critics, and naysayers.
However, there is one thing we all do that stops us in our tracks. We are always comparing us to everyone else, Millennials do it more than any other generation! Whether what kind of house we live in, what kind of job we have, what kind of clothes we wear, or even what we look like.
We compare ourselves to everything and everyone and it can leave your feeling like you don't even matter, and lead to anxiety and depression.
So it's simple - today - stop comparing yourself to everyone. BE CONTENT WITH WHERE YOU ARE. It's not a race, it's a marathon and ourselves from yesterday are the only ones we are up against.
At the end of the day, people will like you because of who you are. Not who you are trying to be.
PS: We apologize for the first couple seconds of feedback. Mel was muted which is a tech issue and we'll be writing a letter - Love, Karen
Once in a while, you meet people who seem as if you have known for many years or your whole life. Some times we connect with people instantly and feel "home" and that's how to describe Billy and Mel's meeting last Friday for the first time! Although they have "yelled" together many times virtually, being able to spend time together in person and unWINEd was so fun at Billy and Megan’s home for their Wine Shop party with Julie Cartin WineShop! Pairing specific foods with Napa wine tasting and learning more about wine is always a good time and they even started their collection of corks and bottle caps for their new individual segments. Mel got to also meet Bear and Layla AND the chicks.
We even scheduled another wine party at Mel's home and can't wait to do it again!
"The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity." ... Come join Mel and Billy for another episode of MillenniYell talking about the give and take of Networking and building solid life-long relationships who will ultimately help you grow your business and personal connections.
Are you a business owner, someone in sales, or someone who is looking to increase their network? If you are you are in luck because today's show is about Networking. Billy and Mel will be sharing some of their tips and tricks to help you become a better networker!
We might even YELL about some of our experiences as well.
We will be #MillenniYelling about the do's and don't of networking.
At the end of the day, people do business with people they like!
Millennials will be the majority in the workforce and there are certain things that we look for in a job and things that may repel us. We're YELLING today about many things like loyalty, technology, and work-life balance.
Share your thoughts about YOUR experiences of what you value in the workplace so we can help the communication between employers and employees to work better together!
COVID and this shutdown have really affected our health and wellness, from gyms shutting down – to adapting to online classes - to that Quarantine 15! Now with the reopening, people are still hesitant but Level Up Performance Wellness and Recovery is what Mel is adding to her routine. Level Up was already a boutique-style fitness center before COVID with smaller # of people and individualized fitness routines for each person, but they might be a good place to work out and relax after if you're not ready for a big gym! We can’t forget about or ignore our health and wellness right now just because the normal routines are different!
Let's YELL about it with Jess Singer over some wine!
Billy and Mel were texting this week about some social media drama and those taking to Facebook and other platforms to not just share their opinion, but forcefully and almost hatefully, attack people who don’t have the same opinion. We know it’s not just us, so it’s time we YELL about it! We used to see it mostly with politics, but today it seems everywhere about anything and everything, and it’s not getting our country and local community any better, rather making it worse, so Mel’s starting to uncheck and unfollow!
When no one knows the answers and no one is right, we should all still be respectful if we don’t agree. What you are YOU doing to not let the “Keyboard Warriors” get to you? Or can you be doing a better job not fueling the fire?
We LOVE to #MillenniYell together LIVE on Fridays at 12 but soon we'll be YELLING in our NEW features "What's Brewing with Billy" podcasts over beer and coffee. These will feature Billy's favorite topics for Millennials and we'll also have "Wine Not Yell with Mel" the same for Mel, but over wine! Lots more surprises and new updates as we continue to work hard connecting PA Millennials on topics we all want and need to hear!
Are you newly Teleworking from home during the COVID-19 shutdown, or have you always teleworked? We're YELLING about the pro's and con's and some tricks that Billy and Mel use to stay focused and productive. There's plenty of distractions we all have and challegenes whether children, spouses, pets, (technology that doesn't work!!), chores, and even the stipulations of Millennials being "lazy at home and not working!"
In today's world - are college degrees still really needed and worth the financial burdens that it has put on us Millennials and parents. Was the experience worth the cost and debt that many of us are still in, whether for just having the degree from THAT college or a college, the education from academics, the social aspect of clubs, sororities/frats, sports, and being on our own starting as adults. Let's YELL about it!
We persevered and in true Millennial fashion, Billy resourcefully he made it to the clubhouse for wifi to film our LIVE (just 1 day later) and #MillenniYell with Mel about some "facts" about Millennials and if we agreed or disagreed. "Millennials Love the Internet," we say truth! but some we did not agree on, and some we felt were very true and we explained Y!
With July 4th tomorrow and the day we celebrate America's independence, we are here to ask our fellow Millennials - how independent are you!? Relationships, work, finances... we are holding ourselves back mentally and emotionally when we aren't independent, especially women. Are you living on your own, or still dependent on your parents financially? Are you in a relationship that you've lost yourself? Let's YELL about it!!
Billy has joined Mel as co-host YELLING about balancing work, relationships, and life, now filming LIVE (no takes, it’s raw and real!) A perfect example of balancing ALL of the things we do; Mel just couldn’t keep up with it alone. Millennials are different than other generations told we can do anything, and while we strive to be the best, everything to everyone, we try to “do it all.” That is not possible and can lead to failure, oh no, one of our biggest fears!
Shoe Shaming. Slut Shaming. Fat Shaming. Skinny Shaming. Shame. Shame. Shame. ANY of this shaming criticizes women who are perceived by the “shamer” to violate the “expectations” of behavior and appearance, whether for weight, sexuality, fashion, etc. This happens all the time from other women and men, and on The MillenniYell by Mel podcast we’re going to address these concerns.
Hey Millennials!! I’m so excited that I’m shouting, rather #MillenniYelling (to the older generations that’s a hashtag lol we’ll talk more about social media and the technology we were raised on that makes us differ so much like many many other things we’ll get loud about) but today marks the start of a new platform for all things Millennials to have a louder voice to help understand and start to “get” us more.
