“Without space between notes, there’s no music. And without space between thoughts, there's nothing beautiful that's going to come out. You’re just stacking noise.”

Welcome everyone to this episode of the Conscious Culture podcast with Sarah Riegelhuth, CEO and founder of Grow My Team!
Today Sarah is joined by her friend Andy Seth from Flow Marketing. They’ve known each other for about five years, having met through EO in Colorado and bonding over sushi!
Along with running Flow Marketing (his ninth company!), Andy has his own podcast, the Andy Seth Show, has written a best selling book, and more than anything, he enjoys the game of business.
Andy was also once a DJ, and just celebrated 20 years of retiring by buying some new decks!

“I love the creativity and the artistic nature of what business allows you to do. Once you understand business, you can look at things in a different way and say, I want that!”

“Business represents to me that I get to create my life however I want it.”

In this episode, Andy Seth and Sarah Riegelhuth get into the game of entrepreneurship, having the final say in creative endeavours, free reign in implementation in our companies, and being intuitively led in business and life.
Andy shares his story around the process of writing his book Bling, from how it came to him in a meditation as a speech, to creating extensive visuals and becoming a best-seller. It’s also a conversation about cultivating intuition and letting our paths come to us through meditation, cooking or eureka moments in the shower.
Plus, we discover just how similar Andy and Sarah are, from the number of companies they've started to their backgrounds in finance and how that how influenced their world views.
