    Dec 8 2025
    🎙️ Interview Replay: A Conversation with Sandy Kachurek about Into the Springs Writers Workshop What a joy it was to welcome Sandy Kachurek, director of the Into the Springs Writers Workshop, to our Ohio Writers' Guild Zoom session today! Sandy brought warmth, wisdom, and a deep passion for nurturing writers as she walked us through the heart and structure of this beloved Yellow Springs event. Sandy began by sharing her journey—decades of experience as an English and journalism teacher, union leader, and published author—and how those years prepared her to step into directing a workshop designed for community, craft, and creative courage. When she took over the event in 2019, she reshaped it into what it is today: a one-room, shared-experience writing weekend where beginner and seasoned writers learn side-by-side in a relaxed yet professionally guided environment. She introduced us to the 2026 featured guest instructors, novelist Tim Waggoner and poet Julie L. Moore, both renowned in their fields and deeply committed to helping writers grow. Sandy described how the workshop schedule intentionally weaves connection into every moment—from the optional morning writing sessions to the communal lunch, open mic readings, book sales, and focused craft discussions. Her goal is simple yet profound: Cultivate Your Craft and Grow Your Writing Business & Community. One highlight of the conversation was Sandy’s explanation of the First Ten Pages Critique, an optional but powerful opportunity to receive in-depth feedback from the featured guest instructors, complete with marginal notes and one-on-one discussion time. For any writer seeking clarity, direction, or a stronger beginning to their work, this critique is gold. Sandy also gave us a look at the workshop’s home: Mills Park Hotel in Yellow Springs, a creative, walkable village that offers inspiration the moment you arrive. And finally, she shared exciting news for the holiday season — 🎁 Special Holiday Gift Certificates Available Now! Even though official workshop registration opens January 1, 2026, Sandy is offering gift certificates that can be purchased now as a meaningful Christmas present for the writers in your life (or yourself!).

  • S2 Ep444: November 17, 2025 | Real Estate Investors | Happy House Hunters | Tom with Innago
    Nov 17 2025
    Replay: How to Use Innago for Landlords In this month’s episode of the Real Estate Investor Happy House Hunter group podcast, I had the pleasure of bringing on Tom from Innago to give a full tutorial on how landlords and real-estate investors can leverage this powerful (and free) property-management platform from top to bottom. What you’ll learn in this replay: How to get started in Innago: account setup, adding properties and units, and configuring your portfolios. Collecting rent online – tenants pay via ACH or card, automatic reminders, and watching the cash flow into your account. Signing leases digitally and storing all your lease documents online for centralized access. Screening tenants: credit/background/eviction checks built into the workflow so you can choose the best fit. Maintenance request management: how tenants submit work orders, upload photos/videos, and you track progress and keep records. Expense & reporting dashboards: track income vs. expenses, pull meaningful reports to monitor your business. Tenant communication tools & mobile-app access: message tenants, allow them to pay or submit maintenance from a mobile device, improving responsiveness and tenant satisfaction. Optional add-ons and integrations: listing syndication (posting your units to multiple portals), renter’s insurance offerings, tenant credit-reporting (pay rent to build credit), and API/integrations with QuickBooks or other tools. Why Innago stands out: It’s designed for small- and mid-sized landlords and is completely free for landlords with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and no contract. If you’re a landlord or real-estate investor looking to streamline your operations — reduce paperwork, collect rent faster, manage tenants and maintenance easily — then this replay is a must-watch. Tom walks you through the full workflow inside Innago, answers questions from our group, and shows you how to tailor the system to your portfolio (whether you have one unit or many!).

  • S2 Ep441: October 27, 2025 | Networking and Connecting | Connections Over Coffee | IMPACT
    Oct 27 2025
    🎙️ REPLAY — Connections Over Coffee

    What is RISE?

    RECONNECT
    | Who am I today, and what matters to me?
    IMPACT | How do I serve in small but meaningful ways?
    STORIFY | What part of my life becomes a story worth sharing?
    ELEVATE | How will my message live beyond me and inspire others?

    Topic: IMPACT & Legacy

    What an inspiring and heartfelt Connections Over Coffee today! Together, we explored what it truly means to write our legacy—not someday, but through the choices, stories, and ripples we create right now.

    We walked through RISE, our four-part journey:

    RECONNECT — remembering who we are and what matters
    IMPACT — making each day meaningful through service
    STORIFY — turning our experiences into stories that inspire
    ELEVATE — lifting others as we rise

    Our group went deeper by reflecting on three legacy questions:

    1. What do I hope others say about the impact I make in their life today?

    2. What small act can I do that creates a positive ripple in my world?

    3. What message do I want future generations to remember from my story?

    The conversation was open, honest, and energizing—just the way our coffee connections are meant to be. ☕💛 No pressure, no pitches… just real people, real stories, and real impact.

    Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared, and held space for each other. Together, we’re not just networking—we’re creating legacy, one connection at a time.

    Until next time—RISE, make an IMPACT, STORIFY your life, and ELEVATE others. 🌟
