Publisher’s Note
Success right out of the chute. When we published the first issue of the magazine we never expected the kind of results that we got. Within the first week and just over 1,300 delivered, we had 28% open and 5.1% clicked. This was a cold send out and we expect the contact list to more than double between our first and second Issues. These numbers are great for this type of activity.
Thank You!! We, the team, are constantly learning about how to better serve you, our target community. And who we need to add to the staff. But, we are delighted with what we are doing and accomplishing.
In this issue: We are introducing Podcasters, a unique breed of speakers that are the equivalent of the radio
show hosts of the past. Although it is easy to get into podcasting, the challenge is staying with it. Most podcasts run out of material by the eighth podcast. We are finally to the point of accepting advertisements in the magazine. So, if you don’t already have a Business Development person yet, you can always reach out to me. I am here to help you in anyway I can. Please reach out to me if you want to suggest something, anything. We are always listening.

Charlotte Canion Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur
Strong Women wear many hats. Charlotte Canion is a multifaceted miracle: an author, speaker, entrepreneur, actress, wife, mother, sister, grandmother and inventor. Over the years, she has owned several businesses, ranging from a retail store, managing over women in the convention modeling industry, to an event planner for a large corporation. As an author, she has many published articles, stories, and collaborative contributions in several books with fellow authors. Canion herself has a poem in the Library of Congress in Washington DC, Editor’s Choice Award. She has won a Presidential Award for her community service and is a host on Indie Beacon Radio. Canion’s acting career began on the familiar “Dallas” series and one of the highlights was when she was stunt double for Pricilla Presley. Remember the mechanical bull ride? She was also seen in the movie “Tender Mercies” with Robert Duvall and community theater was a part of her training grounds.
“You Have To LAUGH To Keep From CRYING / How To Parent Your Parents”
is her first book. This book came from life experiences with a father-in-law with dementia, a
mother with Alzheimer’s and a dad with Parkinson’s – all at the same time. Canion has walked out on the edge of life and has firsthand experience witnessing the people she loved lose their independence. The person they lean on is almost always the spouse or the adult children. “You Have To Laugh To Keep From Crying” is a project that has lingered in Charlotte’s heart for many years. She is happy to share her experiences with the world and hopes that her stories might ease the pain that many will endure, tempering the most difficult times with laughter. Canion’s book is not only an Amazon Best Seller, it was voted the Best Self Help Book of 2018 by the Texas Author’s Association. She recently won Top Author of the Year 2019, by the International Association of Top Professionals. Canion continues to be recognized for her contributions to the Senior Health Industry and her book is being called “A Must Read” for everyone who has a parent or a loved one who might need extra help, when senior health issues knock on their door. One of Canion’s passions includes gardening. She became a Texas Master Gardener and went
on to become a Texas SuperStar Specialist. Another book is “MeMom and Friends Gardening Tips” this is the first in a series of six mini gardening books, that she has produced. Volunteering her time to teach gardening gives her much pleasure. She has won many gardening awards and has a patented-pending invention called the “Basket Jacket”. Canion has tied her Master Gardening to the Senior Health Industry, by teaching senior facilities to build Raised Bed
Gardens and Keyhole Gardens on their grounds. This also allows the involvement of Seniors in a familiar activity and enhances food quality in the facility’s kitchen and menus. Seniors in wheel chairs and walkers can still garden. There is much pleasure and healing properties to getting your hands dirty. Always active, Canion is a host on Indie Beacon Radio, where she interviews other authors from
all around the world. Being a member of Authors Marketing Guild has allowed Canion to meet and make new author friends. Wise County Writers League is a way to continue to hone her skills, Dr. Keitha Story-Stephenson is not only the leader of this group, she is Canion’s coach and mentor. To hear her talk about Dr. Keitha, you will understand why and how she has become a common name in the Senior Health Industry, especially in North Texas.

Dean Rosencrans Podcaster, Banker
Associated Bank The Dallas Bankers Club
Non-Traditional Path to Unplanned Podcasting By: Tamara A. McCullough
When asked how his move to Texas from Montana affected him both personally and professionally, Dean H. Rosencrans, Senior Vice President Texas Market Manager of Associated Bank and Founder of The Dallas Bankers Club, joked, “It was a step backwards,” with a hearty laugh, which he cleared up was anything but. “I wasn’t born here, but I got here as fast as I could.” This quip highlights Rosencrans’ easygoing manner and lively personality, which is evident in his communication style and how he relates to others as an effective communicator. Though many people may not correlate a high-level banker with an affable podcaster, Rosencrans has been able to marry the two effortlessly. His journey from Montana to the Lone Star State lends itself as an intriguing life story that has shaped the way Rosencrans handles life, business and podcasting. Before you can fully understand him as a podcaster, it’s important to learn more about Rosencrans’ trajectory.
Non-Traditional Path
Rosencrans’ life has been anything but traditional which has served him well to accomplish both his short-term and long-term goals. “Mine was not the traditional college path. It was more of a lengthy journey. I was actually married by graduation,” Rosencrans said. These are the types of real-life experiences that have driven Rosencrans to be bolder and take more chances. This adventurous streak began when he left Montana, worked on a crab boat in Alaska and realized quickly that he preferred land versus the sea. This is also when he realized that an education matters long-term.
Rosencrans lived in Seattle for 15 years where he met his wife, Angela, finished his education at The University of Washington and started his commercial banking career. He and his wife adopted two beautiful girls, Emma and Abby, from China and decided to move closer to her family in Oklahoma. Rosencrans then relocated with Wells Fargo to Flower Mound, Texas in 2004. “Texas has always been appealing from a business perspective, and I am very happy with our choice to raise our family out here. Career wise, I can’t imagine going anywhere else.” Rosencrans’ also admitted he was surprised by some Texas normalcies. “We were shocked by the size of the houses. Everything is definitely bigger in Texas. We bought the smallest house on the block, and we didn’t even have enough furniture. The biggest shock was my first A/C bill, yikes.”
Changing Landscape
The 2008 credit crisis saw major changes in the financial sector, including banking. Wells Fargo purchased Wachovia which led to significant changes in the business culture.” “Combining two distinctly different business cultures was not easy.”
Rosencrans left his job at Wells Fargo after 11 years and went to work for BBVA Commercial Banking. Though he enjoyed his time at BBVA Compass, an opportunity developed for Rosencrans to join an expanding Mid-Corporate Banking initiative at Capital One. “I have been very fortunate to have found myself in Texas through economic downturns. Texas, to a certain degree, has been buffered by outside economic influences and has come out on the backend of cycles even stronger.”
Layoffs and Life Changes
In 2016, Rosencrans was laid off from Capital One due to downsizing. “It’s only a matter of time when in banking that your number is called and you get a pink slip.” This is when the professional banker began to think about his other aspirations and realized that he had more to give, and there were other things on the frontier for him. But, first, he stayed close to home. “The first six months I stayed at home and fixed everything. To stay busy, I decided we needed
new lighting, now we have more lights than Ranger Stadium, quite bright,” Rosencrans remarked. A new opportunity reared its head when Kevin Jordan, a former colleague at Capital One and now EVP of CRE at Associated Bank, reached out to Rosencrans. At Associated Bank, Rosencrans developed the commercial C&I strategy for growth in Texas and ultimately was chosen to lead the effort in 2017. As Texas Market President, Rosencrans oversees the growth strategy for middle market and corporate banking.
Bankers Club Beginnings
With his high-profile position with Associated Bank, people began to see Rosencrans as an influencer and began to know who he was since he helped expand the brand presence of the bank in the Texas region. This is where the idea of the Bankers Club came about as a way for bankers to get together to network, trade war stories and communicate what they were seeing in their roles. “It was originally a way of getting together with banker friends and commiserating with each other since it didn’t happen enough. I set up a happy hour and invited as many bankers that were in my phone contact list. This was about 8090 invitees.” He reached out to an attorney friend for a place to hold the networking event, and it soon took on
a life of its own. With the first meeting in February 2019, it has rapidly grown over the past year and has easily surpassed 250 senior bank executives and commercial bankers from the Dallas metro market. “I am very proud to have founded The Dallas Bankers Club and thrilled about the future of the club and its ability to influence the Dallas finance market. If you think about the number of banks and bankers who are members of the club, we represent a vast majority of the financing capital done in North Texas.”
Unplanned Podcasting
Rosencrans had never really thought about podcasting, and it was all happenstance. Ray Southwell, CEO of Need to Know Brands, introduced Rosencrans to Jeff Crilley, CEO of Real News PR. “I didn’t think it would go anywhere,” Rosencrans admitted. But, when it happened, he felt the magic. “I didn’t think about podcasting, but when I was put into the seat, the interview flowed like butter. It wasn’t perfect, but it was me.” Rosencrans, however, didn’t like everything that he saw. “I hadn’t seen myself on camera before, so I shaved my goatee and tried to lose weight. To date, the goatee is gone at least.”
The experience left a lasting impression on Rosencrans and put a “seed in his mind about the show concept” and the importance of fluidity when podcasting.
center around ‘tell me about yourself.’”
One of Rosencrans’ keys to success with communication is knowing how to ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation flowing and “There’s no format and that’s what we kept to.” all parties interested. Rosencrans’ wants to leave This light approach is what has shaped the show his audience with one important distinction. since with a title like “The Dallas Bankers Club,” “It’s better to be interested than interesting.” it might seem stuffy and one-dimensional as a At the end of the day, Rosencrans’ main goal is to show all about finances.

Podcasting to the Present
Since the show’s inception, Rosencrans has thought about “maybe a format we can do.” However, Rosencrans has stuck to his natural intuition and started interviewing people of interest but still prefers his show to be looser. “I’m not looking for a huge following. I don’t need millions of followers. The conversations
“I get what I need and communicate the value of the guest to the audience.” Over his year of podcasting, Rosencrans has gotten more confident with his communicating. “It takes the inhibitors off, and I know I can do anything.”

These coping mechanisms weave a structure for success that becomes the message you are impassioned to share with the world.”

The only child of middle-class blue-collar par-
ents, Sherry was the only one in her extended family to go to college. “I would have turned out just like any normal Midwest girl if I hadn’t gone overseas,” she said about the year she spent in Japan as a university exchange student. She ended up going back to Japan after graduation, learning the language well enough to be cast in a documentary aired on nationwide TV during prime time. The 90-minute program was called, “A Documentary of the USA: Sherry and Osamu’s Quarrelsome Journey.” She assistant directed two more documentaries before moving to Moscow, Russia where she hosted a morning drive radio show, Radio 7’s “Morning Zoo.” Wanting to be a “real journalist,” she spent time at the Press Club hearing the inside scoop on an impending conflict between the Russian Parliament and then-president Boris Yeltsin. As tensions increased, she started to stay at work late in case the big story broke. On October 3, 1993 it happened. Reports that tanks were rolling through the streets of Moscow came through on the Russian ITARTASS newswire. The Reuters and Associated Press newswires had almost nothing to report, so she stayed at the radio station for two days, translating the news and reading it in English right after the Russian broadcaster. Saying, “I was not asked to do this; I wasn’t paid to do it. People even thought it was ridiculous that I was doing it. But I wanted to be a real journalist, and this way I could tell myself I was.” She imagined that what she did mattered and hoped someone somewhere must have benefitted from the effort but knew she would never find out. On a trip home in January, she bought a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine to read while waiting for a connecting flight in Amsterdam’s
Shiphol airport. The cover teased a story about the Russian conflict whose author turned out to be the first prize-winning journalistic effort of Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief of the Guardian. She chronicled her adventures vacationing in Moscow during the incident, mentioning several times how she relied on the broadcasts of Sherry on Radio 7 to tell her what was happening. “It did matter. I was a journalist. The only one who didn’t understand my value had been me.” Thinking she was ready to conquer the world, Sherry returned to the United States. She was disheartened to realize her experiences overseas were not viewed by prospective employers as an asset. They saw it as seven years of unverifiable employment history. “I would have been better off going into the job market fresh from college,” she thought, and decided to get a master’s degree. “While my prospects were better with a graduate degree, every job I applied for seemed like a step backward,” she lamented. “I would be staying in one place without travel or adventure.” She saw an ad for becoming a Fred Pryor
speaker, and the rest is history. She taught her first seminar in February of 1999 in Newcastle, England. “It’s as if I heard an audible ‘click’ when I started the training,” she reminisced. “I have always been paid to speak, but I finally found the type of speaking I was meant to do.” Sherry quickly became a top trainer for Fred Pryor Seminars teaching over 3,000 events and leading their certification for new speakers. Training has unmeasurable value that transcends the content. But on some level knowing better does not equal doing better. She wanted to provide a complete solution for organizations that hired her to improve the performance and morale of employees and leaders, so she decided to certify as a coach through the Certified Coaches Federation, a Canadian organization that was just expanding into the U.S. She was tapped to be a certified master coach trainer, conducting life coach certification events in seven states. When an acquisition threatened the security of her regular speaking schedule, she leveraged the relationships she had cultivated with all the trainers she had helped launch. Combining the mapping and formulizing skill she had uncov-
ered developing custom courses for her own clients with the experience of filling rooms for live events, she collaborated with other peer mentors to create a for-us-by-us event that would help other trainers, speakers, authors, and coaches create multiple streams of income.
“Retroactively I realized my own passion is helping people love what they do and do what they love – you can make money making a difference,” she gushed.

to me, and I thought, “Heck, if Ed Mylett is like this, too, I can’t be too far off the mark.”
Finding the good in the work you do...
Scenario Uno: What I have always considered a curse in my personality (a brain that skips around more than a first grader at recess) serves as a blessing when it comes to life’s curveballs. My brain spends so little time in one place that, more times than not, I tell people I am having a great day even on those days when my daughter is in the hospital four hours away and I just can’t get away or those times when we thought we were remodeling our kitchen only to find out we needed 10s of thousands of dollars in plumbing work. Scenario Dos: Then there’s those times when I dread going off to a shoot, I lost a big client or I have so much to do, am feeling overwhelmed and want to go work for a big-box photography studio (that wouldn’t last long, I promise you) instead of owning the dream. Then, BAM! I either head to a shoot and fall in love with the dream all over again or encounter a perfect stranger. Either way, I am reenergized and have not a worry in the world. Sometimes it feels a bit selfish, almost like I am using people to juice my life. Then, this morning I was listening to Ed Mylett on the Skinny Confidential Him & Her, and I got emotional listening to Ed’s elevator story (found 11 minutes 44 seconds in). It was incredibly relatable
Taking someone’s portrait always makes my day. This morning, I was having a perfect day, complete with a Plano headshot session with Cariloop, one of my most charismatic clients, when an unexpected subject topped it off with the icing (my fave part) on not only my cake, but my client’s dessert as well. We were having a somewhat discrete, as to not disrupt the tenants at WeWork, portrait session when a couple guys walked through to get coffee. As they tried to tiptoe through, I told them it was fine and teasingly said it was their turn next. One of the guys then struck a pose. We all had a good laugh. And he got a free portrait, as I rushed back to the studio, processing his image before touching another. Where do you find your happiness on a cloudy day?
