Howard Brown: 00:01:39

got to trophy and you still have these trophies.

Lori Osbourne: 00:01:43

Oh my all the trophies I own. I was not good

Lori Osbourne: 00:01:47

at sports at all. But boy, I can debate.

Howard Brown: 00:01:49

Alright, so I have to tell you I'm from New England

Howard Brown: 00:01:51

and New England has candle pin the fin pens, but these are

Howard Brown: 00:01:54

probably regular bowling, right?

Lori Osbourne: 00:01:56

Yeah. And I don't think I can even do as well

Lori Osbourne: 00:01:59

today as I did back in third grade.

Howard Brown: 00:02:02

Trophy winner. Alright, so debate. Just what

Howard Brown: 00:02:06

was the what was a cool question and and during this debate that

Howard Brown: 00:02:08

you got a trophy for?

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:11

I don't even remember, you go awful. I do not

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:14

remember, I just remember that. I really love research. And I

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:21

just like I love speaking to. But I think I enjoyed the

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:25

research part, and preparing more than even doing the debate

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:30

part. Even though that was you know, quite comfortable as well.

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:34

You know, I actually told my mom when I was 12 years old, I was

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:37

going to be a public speaker when I grew up. So yeah, yeah,

Lori Osbourne: 00:02:40

well,

Howard Brown: 00:02:40

those trophies, those trophies are a part of

Howard Brown: 00:02:42

your childhood. Thank you for sharing that out. I want to tell

Howard Brown: 00:02:47

you that we were introduced. And for those that are we'll see on

Howard Brown: 00:02:50

video, the art of connection. And this is volume three that

Howard Brown: 00:02:54

both Lori and I were both in this book. This is a

Howard Brown: 00:02:57

collaborative author book, you are March 2, I'm September 20.

Howard Brown: 00:03:01

And you We both met Robert Jones and Natalie, McQueen and Buddy

Howard Brown: 00:03:08

Thorton, the team that puts all this together. And this is a

Howard Brown: 00:03:12

great network. I actually I know you actually have some type of a

Howard Brown: 00:03:17

role in the network where you actually MC one of the network's

Howard Brown: 00:03:21

I think on Mondays i Come on Tuesdays. How did you get

Howard Brown: 00:03:24

connected with Robert and this whole group?

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:28

You know, it's crazy. I just I had a coach in

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:32

Phoenix. And I just started meeting people from Phoenix. And

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:38

someone I we just got on a call one day and she goes, I really

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:41

want to invite you to one of these meetings where we

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:45

interview people that aren't even members. And I'm like,

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:48

Wait, you're giving me a spotlight opportunity when I'm

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:52

not even a member will Heck yeah, because I'm all about DC

Lori Osbourne: 00:03:55

to get business. And Robert followed up with this phenomenal

Lori Osbourne: 00:04:00

deal to join and be in the book at A and that was it. You know,

Lori Osbourne: 00:04:05

I'm like, Okay, you you have made it so easy to be part of

Lori Osbourne: 00:04:09

your network. How could I say no. And it just grew from there.

Lori Osbourne: 00:04:13

Yeah,

Howard Brown: 00:04:13

so I met Natalie McQueen. And she was like, your

Howard Brown: 00:04:17

book is lonely. I had my memoir shining brightly, I only think

Howard Brown: 00:04:21

on my author page for Amazon. And to write a single page about

Howard Brown: 00:04:26

an inspirational quote about shining brightly and kind of my

Howard Brown: 00:04:29

whole movement was easy to do. And then I got into knowing the

Howard Brown: 00:04:32

community. And you know, now that they're actually, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:04:36

the fourth book coming out, there's 1200, heartfelt, you

Howard Brown: 00:04:39

know, people and the community is great. I've met a tonne of

Howard Brown: 00:04:42

people and that's how you and I got introduced now. Your quote

Howard Brown: 00:04:46

we're going to talk about a little bit later, but you face

Howard Brown: 00:04:50

some tough times here. So, and I've heard you talk about

Howard Brown: 00:04:53

resilience before. But tell us take us through the journey of

Howard Brown: 00:04:56

resilience and the challenges that you overcame a little bit

Howard Brown: 00:05:00

Sure.

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:01

So, you know, I know everybody, just about

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:04

everybody in the world has had a hard life. I, you know, I

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:08

started my life, literally not knowing who my father was I've

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:12

lost three families in my entire life. As a result, I ended up

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:19

marrying someone at 19 that I had no business marrying and I

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:23

didn't want to divorce so I was in a very abusive marriage for

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:27

16. I was with him for 18 years came during that I think what

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:33

what really the crutch was and finally having the desire and

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:37

need to leave was I got colon cancer. And I am fully fully

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:42

believe it was all from stress, I was only 36 years old. And

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:47

within two years, I realised this is this is literally

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:50

killing me, I need to get out. And then I lost my mother at 63

Lori Osbourne: 00:05:58

to cancer, I also lost my grandmother at 63 to cancer. And

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:03

about 2015 I found out I have a brain tumour. And it is a

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:08

meningioma, it's benign, most of them are, but it can't be

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:12

removed, it sits on my pituitary, and my it was pushing

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:17

on my optical nerve, and it is part of my carotid artery. So

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:22

they did do surgery to go in to get it off my optical nerve,

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:26

nicked my carotid caused a brain bleed caused my left eye to go

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:30

mostly blind. And then had to do a second surgery where they had

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:35

to replace my septum. And it just, you know, it's a lot of

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:40

trouble for not doing anything, really to the tumour. And a lot

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:44

of chronic pain as a as a result. But you know, the thing

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:49

is, and the thing that I write about in the book is, yeah,

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:53

these horrible things happen to us. And at the end of the day,

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:55

it's all about your attitude towards it. And what I got out

Lori Osbourne: 00:06:59

of it was, I didn't want to go back to the corporate world, I

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:03

didn't feel like I could even handle the stress of IT project

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:06

management anymore. So I just started looking for something to

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:10

do to be productive, and maybe turn into a business someday.

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:15

And discovered web design. Obviously, I was in technology,

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:18

I was a project manager for websites, but I'd never

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:22

Honestly, I've never had a creative job in my life ever.

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:26

And I had this whole creative part of me that wasn't even

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:29

being used. So I started doing web design and realised oh my

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:32

gosh, all this analytical side of me can be used. And I can be

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:36

creative, and I'm really good at it. So I at how old was I then

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:43

46 years old, found my passion. And I am grateful, literally

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:50

grateful for this tumour because I don't know if I would have

Lori Osbourne: 00:07:52

ever gotten here without it. So

Howard Brown: 00:07:56

So,are you thinking that part of your

Howard Brown: 00:07:58

resiliency and healing was finding your passion?

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:03

Um, yeah, and I think that I just, you know,

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:07

I've just developed resiliency over my lifetime of just

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:13

overcoming challenges and coming out with with a better attitude

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:17

from it. You know, it's, I think that's the key, like you can,

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:24

you can have bad times in life, and you can just live and wallow

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:27

in it. Or you can look at it and go, Okay, you know, my marriage?

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:32

Yeah, I could look at it that I wasted 18 years of my life, or I

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:36

can look at it as I had 18 years to learn what I did not want

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:40

what did not work for me. And now I am married to literally

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:43

the perfect person that I feel like was built just to offset me

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:49

and my personality. Like, I don't know how it's possible,

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:52

but literally, our personalities were just meant to be together,

Lori Osbourne: 00:08:56

complete opposite of my first marriage. So I think it's all

Lori Osbourne: 00:09:00

attitude. I think resiliency is attitude at the end of

Howard Brown: 00:09:03

the day, and c equals attitude. Yeah, I, I

Howard Brown: 00:09:05

agree with you. I mean, I I say in my book, and I say when I

Howard Brown: 00:09:08

speak as well, that, you know, we all get knocked down in life

Howard Brown: 00:09:12

and in business and in with our cases health, and in human

Howard Brown: 00:09:15

relationships, and, and others. And we can learn from that, that

Howard Brown: 00:09:20

darkness and now use the light and darkness and my book with a

Howard Brown: 00:09:23

shining brightly is that we can learn from that. And it's what

Howard Brown: 00:09:26

you do to get back up again. And you've done it you've gotten

Howard Brown: 00:09:29

back up and that's the that's the game. That's that's the

Howard Brown: 00:09:33

point of getting back up again, and learning from those past

Howard Brown: 00:09:37

relationships, those past business experience, the health

Howard Brown: 00:09:39

experiences, and to find that spot now. And that that's that

Howard Brown: 00:09:43

is true resiliency. I mean, you're You're a model, I'm a

Howard Brown: 00:09:46

model of that as well. Very, very important. And I will tell

Howard Brown: 00:09:51

you that building, you know, websites is really important

Howard Brown: 00:09:57

because I look at that is all this social media up, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:10:00

the home home place for these businesses is their website and

Howard Brown: 00:10:04

a lot of people are, that's how you get your leads, it's how you

Howard Brown: 00:10:06

actually get your revenue, it's how you do your customer

Howard Brown: 00:10:08

support. So it becomes a very central core part and core

Howard Brown: 00:10:12

element of a small business. And you know this, and this is what

Howard Brown: 00:10:14

you deliver. So take me through so you, you are now doing this

Howard Brown: 00:10:21

and very successful at it as far as what more for the small

Howard Brown: 00:10:26

businesses? What Why is it so important that they have a very

Howard Brown: 00:10:30

interactive, very, you know, website that actually has all

Howard Brown: 00:10:34

the technology and all the things to be able to attract and

Howard Brown: 00:10:37

retain customers? So take me through kind of what you tell a

Howard Brown: 00:10:43

small business owner?

Lori Osbourne: 00:10:45

You touched on it so well. So okay, at the I would

Lori Osbourne: 00:10:48

say I am a techie Lord, oh, well look at you go. At the end of

Lori Osbourne: 00:10:52

the day, our websites do need to be the hub of our business. And

Lori Osbourne: 00:10:56

it's important to remember, social media is great. It's all

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:00

about being seen, but you don't own social media, you don't own

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:04

those contacts, and Facebook can shut you down, LinkedIn can shut

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:09

you down. So your website does need to be that hug. And it does

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:14

need to be the place where you are collecting the emails to be

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:18

in touch with people to nurture them. And how do you do that?

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:23

I'll be honest, not by offering a newsletter and not by offering

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:26

a free call, those are great things. But what you want to

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:29

offer is something that will actually help the person with

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:33

their problems. Hopefully, they're coming to you with

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:36

what's in it for me. So they've got a problem, and they're

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:39

coming to you to solve it. So if you can give them one thing that

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:43

shows them how you can solve their problem that they can

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:47

download or watch or benefit from, then you've started the

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:51

relationship of the know like and trust, which is what we need

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:55

to build business today. Because you're if you're selling

Lori Osbourne: 00:11:58

anything of high value, they're not coming to your website to

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:02

buy it. Like then people are not coming to my website to sign up

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:05

to buy a website, they're coming to my website to get to know

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:08

Lorie, and how I operate and how I can help them. So I want to

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:13

build that know, like and trust. And that's, to me, that's the

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:17

key of the website. It's the beginning of that relationship,

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:20

showing them how you can help them showing your knowledge. And

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:25

and when I say that, I don't mean the 500 letters after your

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:29

name that they don't care at all about they care about how can

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:33

you really help me solve my problems at the end of the day,

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:37

or make more money, which is could be part of their problem?

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:39

However, whatever you do that solves their issues. Yeah,

Howard Brown: 00:12:44

no, I I absolutely agree. So tell me about some of

Howard Brown: 00:12:49

your success stories.

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:52

You know, my favourite website is also the

Lori Osbourne: 00:12:56

largest website I've done, but it's my favourite because it

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:00

makes such an impact. The Department of Health in Nassau

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:04

County, Florida, which is where I live, they decided to take

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:09

their CDC money for opioid addiction, and build a website

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:14

for our community. And they wanted to use community people

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:19

to do it. So they hired me. And I got a local videographer, a

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:24

copywriter, a photographer, a whole team. And we built this

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:28

amazing website to address opioid addiction. There's

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:34

education, there are 10 videos out there that are heart warming

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:40

and heartbreaking. I mean, there's there's true stories of

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:43

opioid addicts that have overcome it, have family members

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:47

that have gone through it with other people. And they're all

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:50

from our community. So it's so special, because it I have a I

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:56

have a half brother, who is somewhere on a street somewhere

Lori Osbourne: 00:13:59

addicted to drugs. And I'm sure we all know someone who is I

Lori Osbourne: 00:14:04

mean, opioid pandemic is just insane. So to make that kind of

Lori Osbourne: 00:14:09

difference, like I literally just have goosebumps right now

Lori Osbourne: 00:14:11

just talking about it, because it it was such a special

Lori Osbourne: 00:14:15

project. And I just loved that I was part of it.

Howard Brown: 00:14:17

I love that project. It's local, it's deep,

Howard Brown: 00:14:20

and it's meaningful work, and you got to architect and build

Howard Brown: 00:14:24

it out it that's a really cool win. I appreciate that. Now,

Howard Brown: 00:14:30

we're going to be in Book Three of the art of connection. Now,

Howard Brown: 00:14:34

this is a topic that's very important to me. It's gratitude,

Howard Brown: 00:14:39

gratitude. And you and I after all the stuff that we've been

Howard Brown: 00:14:42

through, we are both still very grateful for the things that we

Howard Brown: 00:14:46

do have the relationships we have our health now, even though

Howard Brown: 00:14:50

it's never completely over, I can tell you that right? I have.

Howard Brown: 00:14:55

They call it brain fog or chemo brain it's PTSD. I used to

Howard Brown: 00:15:00

remember names, it's it just frustrates me, I'm not as good

Howard Brown: 00:15:04

with names anymore. But emotionally I've been through so

Howard Brown: 00:15:06

much, you know, so much chemo surgeries and just dealing with

Howard Brown: 00:15:10

that trauma, maybe it'll come back, maybe it won't, you know,

Howard Brown: 00:15:14

it, just the gift that keeps on giving. So I hear you on that.

Howard Brown: 00:15:17

But gratitude is so important to be thankful for what you what

Howard Brown: 00:15:24

you do have. And and it's important. So I can't wait to

Howard Brown: 00:15:28

read in the Arctic connection, you know, the next book about

Howard Brown: 00:15:31

what people are grateful for, because it's so important today,

Howard Brown: 00:15:34

to be thankful for what you do have. And if you if you if you

Howard Brown: 00:15:39

want something else, you can set the goals and go for it. But

Howard Brown: 00:15:41

let's be grateful, and be gratitude for what we do have,

Howard Brown: 00:15:44

you know, in family, in business and in health and in

Howard Brown: 00:15:47

relationships? I agree with that. So I'm excited for that.

Howard Brown: 00:15:51

Now, I asked this. You have some superpowers you want to share?

Howard Brown: 00:15:57

What's your superpower, your superhero?

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:00

You know, it's funny, my that was one of the

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:03

first things my coach asked me three years ago, and I had no

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:07

idea what the answer was. So I put a lot of thought into it.

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:11

And throughout every job I've ever had, every everything I've

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:17

ever done, what I consider my superpower is taking highly

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:22

technical information or complex information, and breaking it

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:26

down to where anybody can understand it. And that is a

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:32

special thing. Not everybody can do that. And it's you know, it's

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:35

unusual for a female to be in technology in the first place.

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:39

And being that I've done so many different roles, I get it, and I

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:44

get the impact on business. So I love it when I can talk to a

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:48

small business owner and explain things that are just, you know,

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:54

way out of, you know, some people don't want to know, and

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:57

I'm not going to bore them if they don't want to know but

Lori Osbourne: 00:16:59

other people like you know, I've never understood, I don't

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:01

understand this DNS thing. You know, what is that? Or how does

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:05

this domain thing work? And I love being able to see their

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:09

eyes light up and go, Oh my gosh, I never understood that.

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:11

Thank you for explaining it.

Howard Brown: 00:17:13

I mean, you hear all the alphabet soup, SEO and

Howard Brown: 00:17:15

all that sort of stuff search and some people don't but that

Howard Brown: 00:17:18

is a superpower to take the complex and break it into bite

Howard Brown: 00:17:21

sized morsels and understandable be of bits and all that stuff. I

Howard Brown: 00:17:25

really liked that. I speak on finding your happy place. So do

Howard Brown: 00:17:32

have a happy place. What do you do? What's your stress free

Howard Brown: 00:17:34

zone? The

beach. We live on actually. Well, we actually

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:40

moved here from Colorado. And the mountains are beautiful. I

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:44

love the mountains. But I was born in San Diego. I did not get

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:47

to grow up there. And I've always wanted to be Bywater. And

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:52

we are 15 minutes from the beach. And it is my zen place

Lori Osbourne: 00:17:56

like it like it. It is it's you know the waves, the vastness the

Lori Osbourne: 00:18:04

you know I wish we don't have sunsets on our side of Florida

Lori Osbourne: 00:18:07

we have sunrises so I don't get to see them very often I see the

Lori Osbourne: 00:18:10

sunsets from my backyard. But it's okay. It's still it's just

Lori Osbourne: 00:18:15

that that beach and the waves. It's and I can go there in my

Lori Osbourne: 00:18:21

head. If I can't be there in person I can still, you know,

Lori Osbourne: 00:18:24

it's always been my happy place for sure. Yeah, I

Howard Brown: 00:18:27

tell I tell people find your happy place. Mine's

Howard Brown: 00:18:30

the basketball court. I just, I sweat it out. And it's mentally

Howard Brown: 00:18:34

physically. It's just great because I'm with the guys and

Howard Brown: 00:18:38

we're talking trash or sports and I don't think of anything

Howard Brown: 00:18:41

else. I don't I don't think of being a cancer patient or

Howard Brown: 00:18:44

survivor or anything like that. It's just great for me. And I'm

Howard Brown: 00:18:46

so glad that you have the beach. I tell people I don't care

Howard Brown: 00:18:49

cooking art, music, hiking, athletics, it doesn't matter

Howard Brown: 00:18:55

meditation, find your happy place and go there in your head

Howard Brown: 00:18:58

or go there personally as much as you can. I think that's very

Howard Brown: 00:19:01

very important. Well, I want to do something here because we're
