About Happy To Offend You
Just because you're offended by something doesn't mean it's the end of the world. In fact, if you can discover why someone is NOT offended by the things that you ARE offended by you can actually create peace of mind, deeper connections with people, and a wider connection with the world as a whole. In this show, Michelle interviews people who get that and want to help you to get them. Some people offend others just by existing, and some of us have to try really hard at it. Either way, we are Happy to Offend You and we look forward to having you join us for some hilarious and serious conversations.

Navigating Offense in Busness - Jim Shulman

Jim has worked exclusively with entrepreneurs for more than thirty years, and shares interesting characteristics of most successful entrepreneurs, particularly their frustrations working with organizations, and how they're most productive (though never really satisfied.) Jim, with over 40 years of experience in sales and marketing, has seen it all - from selling auto restoration equipment to polyester pants and even natural herbal-based personal lubricants to fundamentalist Christian women. His journey epitomizes the sales role that many shy away from due to the fear of offending someone. But, Jim's success story is a testament to the fact that understanding and overcoming this fear can lead to incredible opportunities. Learn how to navigate offense in business. Check this out!

Mental Health Challenges - Shulamit Ber Levtov
Wondering what makes business owners vulnerable to mental health challenges and how to mitigate these risks? In this episode of Happy to Offend You Podcast I interviewed Shulamit Ber Levtov. She is a speaker and an educator. She educates business owners and organizations about the entrepreneurial mental health crisis through keynote speaking and workshops. Through her talks, she helps entrepreneurs understand the unique mental health challenges facing them as business owners and gives them strategies to make mental health a priority. Mental health risks are inherent in entrepreneurship, and many business owners are also predisposed to mental health challenges. All of this has been documented by research conducted in the US, UK and Canada. Like all the risks in business, we need to identify and plan for them, and owner/founder mental health is no different. In this episode, you'll learn why business ownership can be so hard on your mental and emotional wellbeing, and how to prevent and/or mitigate the inevitable mental health challenges that arise.
