Our kids summer series continues! This episode is for all the kids out there who are called to big things. You want to be a leader and you want to figure out what sets you apart from your peers so that you can live the great life you want to live, but you are up against a lot. You have school commitments, sports, extracurriculars, friends, devices, social media…And sometimes (just like the rest of us!) you get in a rut and forget what matters to you, lose that spark in you and you lose sight of ...

What kind of a brand are you building and what does it say about you? Today's episode is for people who want to stand the test of time in business, who want to be known for more than just a product they sell or how much money they make; for people who truly want to craft a legacy. There is more to branding than what we see on Pinterest. Logos, color schemes and fonts are the surface level stuff. What about your brand story and your mission and your values as a company? How does that appear in yo...

Parents, entrepreneurs, you are great at casting vision. We do this all the time - we are looking into the future, we are planning. But how often do we sit down with our kids and ask them what their vision is? Today we want to talk to the kids about what it means to cast the vision for their lives. Whether or not you become entrepreneurs is not the point. It's about having eyes on where you're being led, and where you're being guided, and where you want to go next so that you can put together th...

I believe that wisdom in business comes from diversification, from discerning what ways are the best ways to bring in additional income streams into your business so that you're not fully reliant on "all your eggs being in one basket." That's why today, I'm having Dustin Heiner on the show. Dustin is the founder of Master Passive Income and Successfully Unemployed. In today’s episode, we dive into a lot of the things that come with diversification, building passive income streams and the freedom...

It is summertime! A lot of us are going on road trips or taking vacations to the beach or doing different things together, as a family. Since all of our episodes are geared towards you, the entrepreneur, we wanted to shift our Raising Luminaries episodes for a couple of weeks and gear them towards your kids. That way, when you're in the car or when you're doing something as a family, you can have this short little clip that is not just directed at you, the parent, but your kids can tune in and g...

Today’s episode marks a special milestone as our 100th episode! 100 episodes and nearly a full year later, I feel like I've learned some of my most powerful leadership lessons in that timeframe. There have been many times in the last year where I've leaned on my closest family and friends to get through some of my toughest times. It’s been hard, but at the same time, it's been so moving, inspiring and joy-filled because we were exactly where we're meant to be. Sometimes I can't even wrap my head...

Your sibling relationships are the longest relationships you'll probably ever have. If life goes according to plan, you outlive your parents with your siblings; you know your siblings long before you meet your spouse. So, it's a bond that you have for an entire lifetime. Yet we don't put a lot of attention and energy into it. When we talk about the idea of creating family teams, and having a mission together as a family, one of the ways that we can do that and strengthen that is through sibling ...

Are you ready to build and lead a team who is aligned with your mission? In today’s episode, I am bringing you two of my favorite people to tell you how they are doing it along with their best tips so you can do it too! Anna and Ryan are a husband and wife duo, they're members of my Incubator program, and they are masterful in their space. They are the owners of Refuge and Co and they are a photography team. Today they are here to talk about the immense growth that they've seen in the last year ...

Sometimes it feels like everybody's just doing life separately. There's so much going on between work and kids, and everyone's kind of in their own lanes, on autopilot. But what would it look like and, more importantly, what would it feel like if your family made a shift - a shift from being a group of individuals doing life in tandem to actually operating as a team? This is something that not everybody is conscious of. It's not something that we all focus on or even think of, especially in toda...

Today’s episode is one of those podcast episodes that every single business owner on the face of planet Earth needs to hear! I am joined by the go-to expert in sales, Nikki Rausch, who has also become a dear friend of mine. She has supported me, mentored me and given me so many great ideas and learnings around sales. She comes to the table with over 25 years of experience selling to prestigious organizations, such as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. But she rea...

There's a difference between raising kids who do their best, and raising kids that feel the pressure to do their best. There's a difference, because that intrinsic motivation is coming from two very different places. And as entrepreneurs, we might be a subset of the parenting population that's doing more damage than good in this category (I know because I keep messing this one up personally.) We may be preaching one thing while modeling another. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how this i...

Who knew that there are so many parallels between training horses and leadership in business and life? In today’s episode, I am joined by Joe Misner, a world-renowned wild horse trainer, for an incredibly powerful conversation. When I think of the entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership, there's so much that mirrors how horses operate and how they go against the grain. If you are a leader in business, or if you're looking to become one, you need this conversation. Joe’s curriculum that he uses fo...

Today we're diving into how to intentionally prepare for summer as an entrepreneurial family. We can get pretty strategic when we're going into a busy season for work, but what does it look like when we're gearing up for a slower season, or a season where our family will be the focus, or when we're intentionally gearing down after a busy season? We are going into summer, the kids are home, and we're all wondering how we're going to juggle it all. We tend to think that things will just naturally ...

There are plenty of people out there who are seen as thought leaders - those who are in authority in a field or a sphere or on a topic. Thought leadership and wanting to become a thought leader is getting thrown around a lot lately but do thought leaders actually lead? Are they focusing on themselves and their authority or are they helping others and looking at who they’re taking with them? Because to me that is what leadership is all about. It’s about who you are taking with you. You want to kn...

Today, I want to talk to you about creating whitespace as a family. You've heard me talk about creating whitespace in your business and I've walked you through my week to week strategies to have more whitespace so that you can show up consistently. I’ve also shared a little behind the scenes of my quarterly whitespace retreat where I go into visionary mode. Now it’s time to make sure you have that same intentionality with your family. It is so easy to pack our schedules as people with businesses...

The Raising Luminaries Co(op) is finally here! I’m sure that as an entrepreneurial parent you feel called to your mission to raise leaders and establish a business and a life that you don't want to escape from. You want to do both in harmony with each other, in a way that allows you to step into your next level of success in both of those worlds. You are called to this movement for a reason. There's a reason that you've been gifted these children. There's a reason you've been gifted this call an...

Today, I finally get to fully reveal all the cryptic conversations I've been having with you for months around what we've been working on for nearly a year behind the scenes. This exciting announcement is something that was placed on my heart quite a few years ago, and I ignored it. Over time, working alongside so many entrepreneurs and witnessing the pain they were feeling by being split in two between their callings in business and in raising their kids in a way that breaks the mold, I knew I ...

In today’s episode, we are talking about why cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit in your children is one of the most powerful things you can do. We got a lot of feedback on the conversation we had in our last episode around the purpose of the school system and how it’s failing our kids. Some people were having a hard time with it, asking: “Do you want us to just go pull our kids out of school and start homeschooling?” That's not the purpose of it at all. The purpose is to bring awareness to r...

I think today's episode is going to be one of the most powerful conversations we have on this podcast, and at the same time, it's going to be a really tough pill to swallow for a lot of people. We are talking about why things are happening the way they are in the school systems, why schools are just not cutting it alone, how they are not going to contribute to your kids becoming the leaders they are called to be, and how schools were actually strategically designed to be like corporations during...

Feeling guilty as an entrepreneurial parent? There's no doubt in your mind that solely being a stay at home parent, it's not the call for you. You love entrepreneurship and the gifts that come with it and the potential that comes from it! Then why do you feel this crippling friggin guilt when you're working? Why do you feel like you should be with your kids, taking care of the family and leading them? How are you supposed to find the capacity to do both at the level you're called to do them? If ...

Are you comparing yourself to the wrong people? Do you sometimes look around at other business owners who are raising their kids, and you wonder how on earth they're doing it the way that they're doing it? How are they seemingly writing the books, getting the opportunities and making the money all while making healthy lunches that they're sending off with their kids to school or having the downtime with their kids? We all know that comparison is the thief of joy, so in today’s episode we’re goin...

Today, we are talking about raising leaders, not just entrepreneurs. We are talking about raising kids who are stepping into who they're called to be, who have the courage to live against the grain and to step into their purpose while having confidence and joy in that process. As a leadership podcast, we're all about outsourcing and delegation and as entrepreneurial parents, we know you have a lot on your plate. We know you’re navigating leading two worlds that are both incredibly demanding and ...

Parenthood is hard. As parents, we're presented with continual and constant challenges and stressors. Parenthood is not for the faint of heart. Simply providing the basics for your kids can feel all encompassing some days, requiring us to give it our all. As entrepreneurs we have chosen a different path than mainstream society and the fact of the matter is - we have made this choice, not just for ourselves, but also for our families by default. Maybe you didn’t plan it that way. Maybe you though...

Do you feel that heavy call in your heart to really pour into your children's growth? Do you want your kids to really find their thing, to connect to their purpose, to become these resilient little leaders who aren't bothered by the things other people think? You see other kids, face down on their phones or numbing out in front of the TV, and you feel that spark in your gut that says: “I want more for my kids.” You have the vision, but you’re not sure how to follow through. It is so freaking har...

Wouldn’t it be nice if our kids could rise above all the noise and not be swayed by what everyone else is doing or saying? And instead know who they are and lean into the impact that they're called to make, whatever that might look like for them. I have that vision for my kids. But I also live in reality and I know what we're up against. I know they’ll struggle, I know they’ll face the temptations of blending in with the masses or making choices based on what other people are doing. I get that. ...

What is different about the leaders we watch and admire, who seem to stride with more confidence and everything just seems to flow so effortlessly for them? What is it that they do differently? Today's conversation is for anyone who feels like they are having to pull people along, whether it's in their own homes or in their businesses. It’s for those of you who want to be an empowered leader who people really want to follow naturally. If you've been leaning on sheer willpower for a while now to ...
