Intro
Odiva Vassell: (00:33)
Welcome, my fabulous fempreneurs. Today, I am excited to introduce you to Beaudy Loney. And she is here, coming, well, all the way from Guam, depending on unless if you are near Guam, it’s very close to you. And she’s going to tell us today a little bit about her experience as a multi-passionate entrepreneur and how she balances it all. Because I know some of the organizations that she’s involved in are quite large and worldwide. And the fact that she does that, in addition to three businesses, is something that we all can learn from. We’re not there yet, but we can learn from it and get there. Welcome, welcome, Beaudy.
Beaudy Loney: (01:29)
Hi, Odiva. Thank you for having me.
Odiva Vassell: (01:33)
Yes, and thank you for joining us.
Journey of Entrepreneurial Resilience
Beaudy Loney: (01:37)
You’re very welcome. So I was thinking of the book business that you have, how that helps women, because one of the things I know is that you want to just empower women. We have that same passion to empower women. Knowing that women are coming from places and cultures and mindsets that limit them, and just realizing that it’s time to break free. Talk a little bit about how you do that with the books. Oh, sure. My gosh. I think when I was a little girl, I kind of wanted to be an author ever since, or even a book illustrator. So I’ve always had this idea of, like, okay, I know I’d for sure want to be a part of getting published or some type of publication. And it actually just came out of the pandemic, really, because with my other business, fund forte, it’s an events and fundraising agency. And of course, a lot of the events had to shut down or be postponed. And I was like, okay, what can I do to pivot, or at least do something new, something that I can do online? And there were so many different opportunities to be a part of. I was actually able to be a part of three book collaborations, and what we have at the moment are two that have already been produced. So it’s been such a nice opportunity to be able to also be a part of these book collaborations. But what was even more surprising is that they have both received international bestselling titles with Amazon.
Odiva Vassell: (03:25)
Congratulations. Congratulations.
Beaudy Loney: (03:26)
Thank you. Thank you.
Odiva Vassell: (03:28)
And, yes, I can move right into the event business. I want to say event planning, but is it event planning? Is that accurate?
Beaudy Loney: (03:38)
Yes, it’s more of an event planning agency. And sorry, my husband distracted me. It’s more of an event planning agency, but we also offer courses, workshops, different types of fundraising and event support. So what I like to call it is concept to clean-up type of services and products.
Odiva Vassell: (04:06)
Why is it called Fund Forte? Is it Fund Forte? Am I saying it correct?
Beaudy Loney: (04:10)
Yes, yes, that’s correct. Well, when? Oh, my gosh. I think ever since I was probably kindergarten, I’ve been involved in fundraisers and events within the school. My mom was an Avon representative, so I grew up around small business as well as fundraising. And that’s pretty much how she received her success in Avon was through all that fundraising opportunities that she gave schools. And that’s how she pretty much marketed her multilevel marketing business throughout the island is saying like, hey, we don’t just sell these through these catalogs, but we offer these fundraising opportunities. And that’s the way that I came up with it. Being inspired from me helping her was through all the fundraisers that she made. And as I grew older, fundraisers just became so normal for me. Student leadership positions became much more normal for me. And I was able to pretty much produce these fundraisers and events really quickly, efficiently, as well as more profitable than what the schools that I’ve been a part of were used to. So I became known as the fundraiser girl or the class president type of persona that people would know me for.
Odiva Vassell: (05:32)
And does Fund Forte mainly raise funds for schools or women’s special events?
Beaudy Loney: (05:39)
Yeah, mostly women’s special events, actually. We sponsor a lot, and then depending on the contract agreement, we give a percentage of the funds that we raise to the beneficiaries.
Odiva Vassell: (05:57)
Well, I have some background in event planning and it’s exhausting.
Beaudy Loney: (06:03)
It is, yeah. But I love it. It’s so fun, especially when it comes so natural to you. There are different ways that people are like, oh, my gosh, you’re like a superhero. And I love that feeling of when people say, oh, my goodness, we need to clone you, or we should have met you sooner type of comments. And that’s kind of what made me inspired to take the route of continuing that fundraiser education, as well as consulting, mentoring, and also planning and executing these types of events for people because it’s kind of exhausting when you’re in the need for funding or you’re in the need, you’re in the constant need for money. And I feel that when people want to do fundraiser-based events, then they kind of don’t know where to start. They’re like, okay, what should we do? Where can we go? We need this x amount of money within this x amount of time, and sometimes it’s just a few days to a few weeks, if anything. So that’s what I helped them with. We were able to track how we can get to their goals as best as possible, as fast as possible.
Odiva Vassell: (07:14)
That’s amazing, because it’s so needed, but it’s not something people actually think of getting help with. A lot of people just jump into the fundraising and then it can be disappointment because people fall through, plans fall through. There’s no strategy to get there. So how does the strategy of fundraising begin? Like, what’s the foundation of it?
Beaudy Loney: (07:45)
Oh, that’s a great question. First of all, it’s the financial need. We want to see what that financial need is going to be aimed towards. What’s the goal? Like, let’s say it’s a health fundraiser. Like someone needs off-island medical treatment. That’s one of the most popular ones here on island. Guam is fairly small. We’re only about 32 sq. miles And we have great doctors, but it’s not necessarily the specialists aren’t for everybody, or there are other specialists that people might need. So people either go to the United States or the Philippines or any other med tourism type you know location.
Odiva Vassell: (08:26)
No judgment.
Beaudy Loney: (08:30)
So it depends on the person’s goals or the organization’s goals. And then from there, we kind of backtrack. Like, okay, we kind of give them an idea of the different types of fundraising programs or fundraising events that they can do based on the resources they have. Let’s say they don’t have any money to start off with, then we’re going to say, like, okay, you’re going to have to put a lot of sweat equity into your ideas, but it’s going to be able to happen. You just need to get a lot of volunteers. But let’s say there’s also other cases where they don’t have any volunteers, but they have a lot of money to just say, okay, we needed probably just double this x amount of money. So we kind of just go with the resources and see where we can divert those resources to best suit their needs.
Odiva Vassell: (09:18)
Yeah. And just listening to you lay out some of the strategy is so inspiring and interesting because, again, yeah, some people have nothing to start with.
Beaudy Loney: (09:32)
Right.
Odiva Vassell: (09:33)
And without any consulting, they’re kind of leaning on family members or maybe some organization that they’re part of. And it’s very hard if it’s a significant sum of money to get there without that strategy. And I like the idea of the person that has all the money but just needs the team.
Beaudy Loney: (09:59)
Yeah, there are very few, but it does happen because depending on how they’ve been able to raise those funds, of course, everybody’s story is different, and we all have different needs. So it’s Bless you, buddy. It’s quite challenging for people when they don’t see the different blessings that they have. They can’t really recognize them until somebody else points it out, like, hey, you got all these people here. Don’t feel so hopeless. or other things like, your organization has been around for so long. Don’t give up. You’ve been through so many years of trials and errors. So we try to also take those types of resources into account, because people tend to forget to celebrate themselves.
Odiva Vassell: (10:50)
Yeah. All right. Celebrating yourself and how resourceful you are. And I know that women are very resourceful, especially when we come together. Could you give example of a fundraiser that was specifically for women’s special event? Women.
Innovation Unleashed: Exploring Beaudy’s Ventures
Beaudy Loney: (11:08)
Oh, sure. Yes. One of the first ones that we sponsored was called Guam moms helping moms. Oh, gosh, I don’t even remember probably 2013, either. Between 2013 to 2016, I really forgot the year. But it was just such a fun consultation and event to be a part of the women who were pretty much spearheading it, they found a need that people weren’t able to pretty much get diapers and other basic necessities for raising babies. And they did a diaper drive, they did a roadside coin and dollar bill collection. It was so funny because I consulted them to also dress up as babies. So these adults were wearing adult diapers out in public. It was so fun. It was so funny. And that’s my type of style, is to get things out of the norm, try to be eye-catching, try to be memorable so that people can remember those different logos right when they see it. Like, for example, ours is so bright yellow right here in the back. And once the children or the community kind of sees it, they’re like, oh, there’s Miss Beaudy. They already know me based on that color as well as the colors that I wear. like, if I’m doing presentations or anything, but I’m just comfortable today since I’m still at home.
Odiva Vassell: (12:38)
this is really good. and anybody that might be doing a fundraiser can really learn from this fact that you let people have fun, but also draw their attention to themselves and increase their visibility so that they can get more support. Fund the Forte is the power, the strength. Yeah. And so these ladies were walking around in diapers.
Beaudy Loney: (13:05)
Yeah. It’s so funny. I think they actually asked their husbands to do it. So it was more. So. I know there were a few ladies, but that’s a part of the overall fundraiser campaigns. So depending on what, again, the goal of the organization or the individual is or even the business, we break it down on different types of activities, or smaller, I guess, functions within an overall fundraising campaign that they can do, especially if they don’t have the manpower or the funding to dedicate to just one specific day. So we let them know, like, hey, this is the x amount of time your volunteers can work. So you cannot only have this goal met in one day, realistically. So we try to break that down for them as well. Why don’t you focus one month towards fundraising? All these different activities, and that way it can be broken up and people won’t be exhausted. Your team won’t be led to burnout, basically. So we also take that into account because having those financial stressors will definitely affect an entire team, not just the organization leaders by themselves.
Odiva Vassell: (14:22)
I like that. The key words that you said there is teamwork and timeline, for people to just even take that into consideration, because I’ve been a part, I’ve been a volunteer of numerous fundraisers, and it was just like, we’re going to show up on this day, hope other people show up, and hopefully we’ll get to our goal or our target. And I don’t know if they reached it or not. There wasn’t that kind of transparency, but in the end, it kind of felt disorganized. And sometimes, like myself in times where I just showed up somewhere, they said, just show up. And I just started helping, and the other person didn’t show up. And so I took on some more roles. And that happens in any business or fun event. So just having a strategy is so key.
Beaudy Loney: (15:24)
It is. And to make it fun, like you said, especially if it’s something new, let’s say, for example, car washes. Guam has to do so many car washes because people know it. It’s recognizable, but it works, right? But it gets boring. So if you want to be memorable, what I would let my friends know, especially the ones who are like, “Hey, Beaudy. Any fundraising ideas for a simple car wash?” I’m like, “Yeah, take your shirts off. You guys need to go and honk down those people and match your mascots. Or put up funny signs or something.” I remember I suggested to someone who is a pretty heavyset man, I said, “Why don’t you advertise that there’s topless car washes? And then the only thing that happens is it’s all of you really husky men.” And it was so funny. So I like to put that laughter factor into our fundraisers, because, again, we want to try to make things memorable for people. Yeah, actually, there’s a reason behind the transparency, or not being transparent, in reality, for the fundraising amount, the monetary amount that our clients make. Because for me, I know that I’m just there for the logistics and the actual amount of money that they raised. I’ve actually never asked any of my clients, like, “Hey, did you meet your goal?” And that’s something that’s a personal choice for me, because other than the logistics, none of the money raised is my business. As long as I know the success of the fundraiser was good or was it bad, I need to know whether it was good or bad. What do you guys feel? So I think I’ve only had one case where a fundraiser failed, but it was just because the lady was by herself. She kind of just felt like there wasn’t anybody who wanted to help her, but she didn’t do the work that I suggested, where I think she wanted to start her own book, and she didn’t do the work that I suggested. So, of course, if you’re not going to follow your coach or your mentor or your leader, then there’s going to be some setbacks to the advice that’s being given. And if that work isn’t done, remember how I was mentioning that sweat equity has to be put into the actual ideas or they won’t come to fruition? So that’s kind of the qualitative benchmarks that I set for myself. Was it good? Was it bad? Just let me know, and let me know how I can improve. And then I also share what we have observed from their team so that they can also relay messages to their teammates, like, “Okay, this is what we need improvement on,” or “What we need to cut down from spending on,” because we also offer that service of observing the team so that we can identify how efficient they can be in running their organization. Especially if it’s a nonprofit.
Odiva Vassell: (18:14)
Yeah. Wonderful. You’re the eagle eye that looks over everything, because I know when you’re doing events, probably not large events, the ones I’ve done, but you’re so in it that you can’t be everywhere and seeing everything. So I like that your business focuses on the logistics. And one thing you said, awesome advice. A key part of it is mindset. This lady was in the space where nobody wants to help or come, and she kind of fulfilled her own prophecy by staying mindset. Yeah. Wow. Right?
Beaudy Loney: (18:51)
And we’re like, “Okay, of course, you don’t have to move forward with any of the other suggestions in the plan, but that’s where you’ll be. You will not be able to move forward unless you take some type of action.” I love how you mentioned mindset here, too, because this paper back here is actually something that I’m putting together for creating more clones of me to basically go out and conquer the fundraising world. So it’s kind of like a course and a program that people can undertake if they’re interested in becoming a fundraiser coordinator. And that mindset is such an important pillar, I guess. Right? Towards life. Exactly. To life, to anything. And we focus on what people’s relationship with money is, what their mindset is, what their heart set is. I like to call it heart set or heartscape because it’s challenging. If you have a lot of blockage or drawbacks personal drawbacks, then you might not be able to help other people manage any type of fundraising or event. And like you mentioned, sometimes it does get chaotic. So there are different avenues we suggest to people so that they can overcome those.
Odiva Vassell: (20:19)
Well, I always feel right now know that entrepreneurship is like therapy. Anything you have in your mind and heart is going to come out as you go through the journey and you’re pushing forward, and you might find that you are holding yourself back. So this is a key to it. I never thought of the mindset of a fundraiser or event planning, but it’s good to know that that is also essential part of it. And with that, I would just say that at one point, I first met you as a part of a worldwide women’s entrepreneurship organization, and you were a leader in that as well. So you are juggling many hats, ladies. She’s juggling many hats with the family and the community. I love that. A lot of what you do brings up your community. You’re very community empowerment oriented. I celebrate you for that. And before we go anywhere, I want to definitely talk about your third business, your new baby. So we’re recording this in the month of February, and we’ve just finished Valentine’s day, and I also have an event that’s coming up. It’s called the Love, Sex and Sensuality Summit. And, yeah, there’s always so much more for us to learn. So please tell me what aspect of love, sex and sensuality your business deals with and the name of it again, you tell us.
Beaudy Loney: (22:11)
Sure. Okay. So the third business that I’m trying to launch is called Kuxx, and it’s spelled K-U-X-X. The idea behind that is more so where individuals, couples could have a safer space for education and events based around against sex and sensuality. But it’s more so of a avenue for people to take to be like, “Hey, we’re not judgmental here. As long as you’re following the laws of Guam, please make sure that you are able to come forward and express anything that you may feel is blocking you.” Because for me, I feel that when you have a lot of, let’s say, reproductive energy pent up, you won’t be able to produce creatively. Basically, that’s my experience. So we kind of try to attract clients and people who are in that stage before we got here. So another part of that is to also express to people that they are capable of attaining, I guess, the relationship, the relationships that they desire. The relationships, the experiences. Of course, nobody’s perfect. No relationship is perfect, but that’s what people are there for, like my husband and myself, where we are able to guide other people towards living their best life, basically. And a lot of that starts with those primal urges. Like, first find out where are they coming from. Why do you feel like you need certain expressions to be placed? And how can you help yourself? Is what the third thing? So, with Kuxx, we’re really trying to just bring people together so that they feel safe and that they feel heard and that they feel like there is a possibility of basically feeling okay in their own body.
Odiva Vassell: (24:13)
And was that k-u-x-x-x? I think I saw…
Beaudy Loney: (24:17)
k-u-x-x
Odiva Vassell: (24:18)
Oh! Two x.
Beaudy Loney: (24:19)
Yeah. It’s a Chamorro slang here on the island. It kind of means like, “Oh, that’s crazy.” Yeah. So we’re trying to also have a fun word play on the taboo of everything. But on the other side, it’s showing that it’s normal. It’s not that crazy at all.
Odiva Vassell: (24:39)
And that is it, I think, building that healthy relationship to our intimacy and our sexual side and kind of breaking away from the taboo of talking about it. So we are here in an age where so many people, as you said, it turns into, okay, maybe you’re single and you want to date or you’re in a relationship. You’re in a marriage and you’re not satisfied, but you’re not opening your mouth to the other person what it is you want. This is one of the reasons that I’m doing this summit. If I had known about you, I would have invited you before, but maybe next one.
Beaudy Loney: (25:30)
Next round.
Odiva Vassell: (25:32)
Okay, the next round is just. Yeah. I think you talked about how you grew up, and I can definitely vouch for the same feeling. There was just no one around to support healthy attitudes towards sex and sensuality is just something people aren’t talking about. Even this day and age.
Beaudy Loney: (25:53)
Right? Even as adults, even as much older women. Like for example, there was a lady I was coaching maybe three times my senior. She was way older than me. And this is probably when I was in my 20s, so she was almost 80, really. And she was just like, “I cannot figure out how to do something.” I said, “Let me ask you something, only because this is just coming from my instinct, right?” It was an instinctual question. I was just asking her about her intimate life. And I said, “Please do not answer if you do not want to answer. But I feel like this is something I need to ask you as your mentor. Only because when we are not satisfying ourselves, not just in our sexuality, but in our overall being, if we are not satisfied, if we are not finding pleasure in the things that we are doing it’s going to create that bundle and blockage within our body and it comes out physically.” Right. And I said that might be something that you would want to explore. I can help you with it, but of course, that’s absolutely up to you because it’s such a sensitive and personal topic, you don’t want to have somebody be telling you about your body or about, like, “Hello, I’ve lived in my body my entire life.” So people kind of negate from having those kinds of discussions, even from someone younger. But it’s because I’ve done the exploration. I’ve done the studying. I’ve done the studying too. And where I can see that people might be lacking, I could have suggestions for them. So once she was able to kind of explore her needs, then she came back to me. She’s like, “Oh, my gosh, I just had this burst of creative energy after recognizing who I am and what I’ve been.” I forgot the word that she mentioned.
Odiva Vassell: (28:02)
Suppressing.
Beaudy Loney: (28:03)
There you go. Yeah, that’s a perfect word. And I was like, “See, there you go. We’re women. We’re human. We have to be able to honor ourselves. And when we don’t do that, that’s where all the gunk, it all builds up in our bodies and our heart, our mind, body and soul.” So that’s another perfect example of why it’s so important. So I’m so thankful that you’re having that summit as well. It’s very important for women to have more resources where they can come together and feel safe.
Odiva Vassell: (28:36)
Yes. And this is a lovely thing that I understand that you got married, I think. Well, it feels like recently, because…
Beaudy Loney: (28:49)
About a year.
Odiva Vassell: (28:52)
Yeah, I remember announcing that. And I heard a little bit about your story in a previous relationship. Yeah. Which was kind of your inspiration for all the wonderful things that you do now. If you can just give us a little insight on what has changed for you or on how that made you this strong, entrepreneur, adventurous woman that you are now.
Empowering Women: Beaudy’s Inspiring Impact
Beaudy Loney: (29:22)
Thank you. Yeah, the relationship with the father of my children was very rocky. It was so toxic that it was dangerous. And that was almost ten years of a relationship. I think we were probably, like, just months away from making that ten-year mark. And it’s just such a blessing for people to show their true colors. But I’m very stubborn, and I did not listen to this person when they’re like, “Hey, I’m not good for you.” So that’s my fault where I didn’t listen to somebody. They showed me their true colors, and I was just persistent, like, “No, we can make this work. We can heal. You can heal. We can work towards a better life.” But back then I didn’t realize, like, “Hey, I can’t control anybody else. I can only control myself.” And it took so much time towards getting towards that. There was also another relationship that I was a part of, extremely toxic within such a short amount of time, and that was to the extent of this person now in prison for murdering the other person that he was seeing after me a few months or years after me. And it’s so devastating because leading up to those events, I was like, “How come I have this urge to try all these different things?” And when I look back towards it, it was because my intuition, my body was really trying to warn the family members of that individual who’s since passed. And I still break myself up about it because it’s like, “Wow, if I was just so much closer to finding out…” Because, for example, the person that passed away, I had this little nudge of saying, “How come I need to find this individual, my ex, that I was dating at that time? Why do I feel like I need to find the person who he’s seeing now and kind of share my story?” But I was like, “Oh, no, it’s probably just nothing.” I dismissed it. And when I found out that she passed away, all of the people that I had been speaking with or the new groups that I joined or the new connections that I made, I was like, “Oh, my gosh, this person was related to all those people.” And Guam, again, is fairly small so it just mind blown about how, gosh, I just feel like I could have saved her. But of course, that wouldn’t have been my job. I tried my best to, I did all the things that girls on Guam and people the public are educated to do, go to the police, make those police reports. The basic things, the very basic things. And it ended up, of course, in devastation.
Odiva Vassell: (32:29)
That’s something. We can’t save everyone. We can literally only save ourselves. And a tremendous amount of courage and absolutely crazy, in a sense, to just be able to save ourselves.
Beaudy Loney: (32:49)
Exactly.
Odiva Vassell: (32:50)
I’ve seen women in the situation, and I’ve talked to them. I’ve been in the situation and had no one to talk to because no one believed that this person had another side.
Beaudy Loney: (33:03)
Right. and it’s a scary position to be in.
Odiva Vassell: (33:09)
The police didn’t do much. They did help, but they couldn’t do much because he was a police officer. In my situation,
Beaudy Loney: (33:17)
that’s one of the scariest ones.
Odiva Vassell: (33:21)
So he had access to everywhere I went. and it really was bad for the next girl. I never met her or saw her or I heard about her at the very end. she didn’t pass, but I heard about the situation, how bad it got. So then people stepped in. But for me to get out of that situation, I had to go. The best word I could say, I could say, like, crazy courageous. And it’s like, I’m going to get out of this no matter what.
Beaudy Loney: (34:00)
Right? You’re in survival mode. Yeah. Your fangs come out. And I like to call myself, like, I was in mama bear mode, too, when that person was he ended up stalking me, breaking into my house, making all these fake profiles. It was scary. And I’m like, all right, you want my claws to come out? Then they’re right here. I’m not going to sit back and have my family tormented and feel like we’re unsafe. So it’s definitely such a scary situation to be in for anybody, male or female. And it’s just so important. And that’s why I like to do interviews like this or go to schools and speak to the younger kids because I didn’t have those relatives or people in my life who were raw and detailed graphically about the things that they went through. There were so many conversations about certain people, but it was more in a gossipy type of environment rather than a, “Here, sweetheart, let me tell you what I’ve been through. This is what you should avoid,” type of thing. And it’s important for adults to speak to children like that because we, as adults, have that responsibility of not creating other victims who would be like ourselves. I like this one quote that I read years ago where it says, “You are the adult that you needed back when you were a child.” And it’s so important. It’s such a sweet realization that you become the adult that you wish you had when you were a child. And I was like, “Wow, that makes a lot of sense. I feel like I am a safe adult. I feel like I am a resourceful adult. I feel like no matter any child that I see who might be lost at the mall or whatever or I can sense that there is any type of abuse happening. I know how to have those conversations with these children or these minors so that they can have a safer outcome than I did.” And it’s really nice to be in that position of power because you don’t want to have other kids or other women or men become victimized by themselves, basically, because it’s really like a form of being able to hone into that responsibility that you have to survive on your own. Nobody else is going to take you out of a situation besides yourself because you cannot heal from something that you don’t want to keep getting hurt by. You know what I mean? Because there’s those people who are going to be so fed up with any DV or other types of abuse that they’re a part of but if they are not willing to cut those ties or relationships out of their life, then it’s going to be a challenge for them to get better for themselves or do better for themselves in any situation.
Odiva Vassell: (37:10)
It comes back to the mindset, which I’ve been learning a lot about with you ladies that are on my podcast and ladies that I have in these entrepreneurship community. And it also comes back to, “I choose me. Do or die.” Hopefully not, but “I choose me.” And that’s the only thing that I could advise any woman that’s going through a similar situation to bring herself to that point. and some might say, “I’m staying in it for the kids.” You’re not helping the kids that way. Put that life vest on, put that oxygen mask on, and do what needs to be done.
Beaudy Loney: (37:58)
Right. So true. Yeah.
Odiva Vassell: (38:00)
So we went deep. You weren’t planning to go quite so deep today.
Beaudy Loney: (38:06)
