Join me in one of the most impactful podcast episodes you’ll ever hear! Don't tell my mother, but she's currently in competition for my favorite interview of all time. My mom took the cake with her episode…that is until I had Scott Mann on the show. 18 years as a Green Beret, 23 years in the United States Army, a father, a husband, and someone who has fine tuned his leadership skills and is making an impact around the world beyond anything I've ever seen. Today’s conversation with Scott blew me ...

Do you ever feel like you've been gifted with this incredible entrepreneurial ambition, but you don't have the physical energy to match? You’re not alone.

Do you ever feel like it's Groundhog Day? Do you feel like you are doing the same thing over and over and can’t see past today? One of the most common themes I hear among you, my listeners, is that you feel like you're so in the weeds of today, that it's hard to see how your entrepreneurial vision is actually going to play out. You have vision, but you can't see how those dots connect. The common thread among entrepreneurs who feel the glory of that wholesome success in both their life's work an...

"I feel spread too thin." This is a common thread that I hear across all my clients, listeners, mastermind members and really just in conversations with my peers and friends. A lot of entrepreneurs believe that with more time and success comes more peace and freedom. But there are people who have had many years under their belts and massive levels of success who still feel like they're being split in two. Many of them have the consciousness to create schedules that give them the space to be with...

Welcome to one of the most intimate episodes I will ever share on the podcast! This particular episode is with one of THE most important people in my life. She is the person I credit for so much of who I am today and the one I am becoming. She is the one I turn to about everything from parenthood to marriage to business and everything in between because this episode is with the woman who raised me. Now my mom isn’t just the average mom. If she were willing to share her résumé (which I try to dra...

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 ...

Have you been wondering where your inspiration went? Most of us get a start in our businesses feeling so inspired by the possibilities ahead of us. That's why we start in the first place. But we come up on these seasons throughout the years where we wonder where that spirit of possibility went. Are we just spread too thin and we can't feel it? Was that season when we were inspired before we had the demands of also raising a family? Are we too in the weeds of being in our business that we can’t e...

I'm going to give you a little hint - it is actually not about creating more hours in the day. I know you feel spread thin, I know you feel hurried, but the way out of it is not working more and it's not getting more things checked off your to-do list. That habit is only going to break you. It's gonna burn you out and it's going to keep you from stepping into the life you want and operating at optimal levels with peace, fulfillment and prosperity. Today, we're talking about a process that is goi...

This is the one. This is the episode you need. Trust me. I've had a few interviews that keep competing for my all time favorite and there's no doubt that this one is one of them. There's a reason why Patrice Washington was named one of the most inspiring voices in personal development (two times!) by Success Magazine, and there is a reason that in her years as America's Money Maven, Patrice became known across many circles as the go-to resource for financial possibility. In this interview, you g...

Today's episode is all about stepping into a new season. What does it look like to consciously choose to craft a new season for your life, for your business? I believe life happens in seasons, but sometimes we get a little passive and allow those seasons to hit us when they may, instead of actually mapping them out and choosing to kick them off. If you've been in a season of rest, maybe it's time to hit the gas or if you've been in a season of constant work maybe it's time to lean into the seaso...

Are you “running” your business; are you “running” your family? Well no more, because it's time to lead! This is your year to lead, so no more operating day-to-day or even quarter-to-quarter, no more spinning your wheels or constantly feeling behind, wondering what you need to do to move the dial. I'm not really into the whole New Year, New You thing because it doesn't really account for all the work that's required to become an elevated version of yourself. But I am behind making a shift from s...

It is time for a yearly review. To me, New Year’s resolutions set an unrealistic expectation that things will be different just because the clock struck midnight, without acknowledging how to make them different. In a way, it's similar to the definition of insanity where we step into a new year with a new resolution, but we didn't change anything about ourselves. So, today's episode is one that's going to help you shift life on its axis, in the direction you actually feel called to go. You'll be...

As this year is coming to an end I’m sure you’re already looking ahead, setting goals for the next year and talking about all the things you're going to do and accomplish. Today’s episode is meant to encourage you to slow down a little bit. Slow down from that frame of thinking and spend a little bit more time thinking about who you want to be, and how you want to feel in this time that is fleeting. Turn off the “doing” for a second. Do not get me wrong - I love New year, the new energy and the ...

I've had something placed on my heart as of the last year, that I've been successfully ignoring until now. This has led me down the path of exploring the idea of really shifting gears and leaning into a season of rest, creativity and not being in the weeds. Anytime I'm encountering a new way of pursuing something I haven't done yet, I reach out to people that I know have gone there before me and figured it out, people who have had the courage to take the steps that I haven't yet taken myself. An...

The topic of today’s episode is not our typical topic. In fact, we've never had anything quite like it on the show. But it's so critical and so necessary to talk about. Our guest today is Cheryl Kosmerl who is a licensed clinical social worker and has decades of experience working in that field. She has extensive history working with kids and adolescents and their families who have experienced abuse, neglect or trauma. But today's focus is specifically around the dangers that come with technolog...

I’m doing something I never thought I would do. Do you ever feel like you're being hit over the head with something time and again, and you just keep ignoring it because it's not how you planned to attack that particular area of your life? Because it feels too difficult or maybe too unconventional or too crazy? That's been my life for the last four months. I've been having all these wild signs and messages directly under my nose; so much so that I couldn't ignore it anymore. But it doesn’t mean ...

Some big changes are coming! If you could only be a fly on the wall of our team meetings lately, around what's brewing over here, it would make for quite the reality show! So much is changing and evolving within our company and this podcast. Today, we have a really important announcement to share a bit more about where we're going next and why, what we've been called to and how we're making some major changes. So buckle up, because things are going to be changing and I’m bringing you all the det...

I am absolutely blown away by the response we've received thus far for dedicating an entire month to this idea of technology! From the standpoint of how we're being targeted and how our kids are being targeted to how to work with tech and not give into the temptation of becoming addicted to our devices - this month is all about helping entrepreneurs be a little less tech dependent and helping entrepreneurial families weave the two and choose a path forward in technology. For this reason, I knew ...

Today we're talking about the idea of gratitude and entitlement as well as the role that we personally play as entrepreneurs in our kids stories related to those two specific things. We are combating entitlement while, at the same time, we want to give our kids the world. There was a time when raising grateful kids might have been a little bit easier, but I think we are up against a bigger fight nowadays. Expectations have changed. Childhood has changed. The family has changed. And the end resul...

Right now, the average amount of time that kids are spending outside is four to seven minutes. But the data shows that the amount of time they should be spending outside for their brain development, for their growth, for critical thinking skills, for leadership should be four to seven hours. And the average amount of time that kids today are spending on devices is four to seven hours. We have it completely backwards and if you're an entrepreneur who is raising kids, this is an episode you have t...

So far this month, we've covered a variety of topics around technology and what it's doing to our families and our businesses, the good and the bad. So today, I want to outline a process that's going to help you tame the “tech jungle” and make sure you are intentionally using it as a positive tool that it's meant to be, and not slipping into habits that are going to make you wonder how you or your kids ended up there. Today’s episode is about finding your path and your approach to a good relatio...

Can you build a successful online business WITHOUT social media? If this thought ever crossed your mind, you’re going to love today’s conversation. My guest today is Shanna Skidmore, a former Fortune 100 financial advisor who turned into a business consultant helping entrepreneurs dig through the data, optimize the metrics and get a firm grasp on the finances (something most of us don't like to do). On top of all that, Shanna has also built her incredibly successful business and she's done it of...

We’ve already talked about how, as entrepreneurial families, technology might affect our kids a little bit differently than those parents who hold more traditional jobs. When it comes to creating boundaries and limitations around technology for our kids, it’s important that we know what's at stake. And that’s what today’s episode is all about! Having the information at hand will give you the backbone you need to stay firm. The use of technology is just getting bigger and more prevalent, so it’s ...

Today, we are continuing with our technology series! Technology is our reality. It is out there. It is boisterous. It is loud. And, it’s something that is so prevalent and so important, especially in the lives of entrepreneurs. We have to know how to raise babies and raise businesses in a technological era. It's pretty common to just go through life conforming naturally to what comes next. But being informed is different from conforming. And being conscious of how technology targets us and targe...

How do you raise children alongside technology? I see so much content out there around technology and our kids. And it’s either total doom and gloom; or it is what it is, just let it be. There's no happy medium, there's no discussion around this. As entrepreneurs, we need to be intentional about how and when we introduce technology to our kids, the way we talk about it, the way we model it, because the reality is - in some capacity, our businesses do depend on tech and also, our kids are growing...

How many people do you know right now that just don't feel great? Sadly, an all too common theme among entrepreneurs especially, but really people across the board, is navigating illness. And when I say illness, I mean the absence of thriving; a lot of the things we face are just symptoms we chalk up to working a lot, or having young kids, or being postpartum, or whatever it is - when oftentimes, it goes deeper than that. Whether it's a multi-year struggle with intense symptoms and very few answ...

Today's episode is going to be a powerful one! I know we all feel called to raise these incredibly confident kids. But at the same time, we want them to have humility, too and have the right perspective on the world. As entrepreneurs, we are naturally pretty confident people otherwise, we wouldn't take the leaps that we do take. We are sure of who we are, we know what we stand for and we are confident in our own ability to do something or to figure out how to do it. But, how do we raise confiden...

Are you trying to keep up with the Joneses? Today we're talking about a phenomenon I've seen across the board in entrepreneurship that I think is preventing people from achieving their true potential in both business and in life and that is the need to keep up appearances. This is stripping entrepreneurs from the possibility of the satisfaction that they're craving, so they keep pushing and trying to achieve things without ever actually feeling that fulfillment. It's used to put up whatever faça...
