Have you ever wondered what it takes to leave a full-time office job to pursue owning a small business? Many dream of the perks of it — the freedom, making your own schedule, being your own boss, getting to follow your passions. It's something truly special that takes a lot of grit and commitment to make it work.   Corey Heyman is someone who had that same dream and turned it into her reality. Fro...

Sometimes, a person's career begins where most people dream of ending up years or even decades down the road. This is very much the reality for Ashley Stahl, who began her career at 23 in the Pentagon as a counterterrorism professional.    After following this path for a short time, she soon realized that it was time to move on to other things and begin finding career success down other avenues. W...

You're not alone.   Dive into the world of "woo" with us this week, where I chat with my friend Jen Cabot about her experience embracing her intuitive side and becoming a spiritual master. She has a gift of being able to tune into the spiritual world and...

In this week's solo episode, I discuss the concept of mindful leadership and how to incorporate mindfulness principles into your leadership approach.

Everyone loves a good personality test. Maybe you used to scour Buzzfeed for new quizzes to learn what your favorite cheese says about you or perhaps took an online IQ test one too many times, there's a quiz out there for everyone wanting to learn more about themselves.    One of the most popular in the mix is Myers-Briggs, or MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This test has been around for a whi...

In the sales community, you'll hear the phrase, "You can't teach sales" a lot. Many believe that sales is something that you either have, or you don't, and it's a matter of innate talent rather than a practiced skill.    But according to Ron Earley, that's just not true. Instead, he's built his business around teaching and mentoring others to sell confidently, even if it doesn't come naturally. No...

Choosing a career can be complicated. When we're young, we have our whole lives ahead of us, but that can often feel suffocating or intimidating for students who aren't sure what they want, but are being pressured to make important decisions before they're ready.    That's why our guest this week, Beth Probst, set out to change the course of career prep for teenagers for good. She saw that kids as...

Life is full of noise from external sources — social media, friends, parents, society. It's a stressful world we live in, and one that's even harder to navigate if you're a young girl.    This week's guest, Dr. Tim Jordan, uses his pediatric medicine expertise to help girls cut through that noise to learn how to build self-trust, self-worth, and a strong intuition to guide them through life. From...

What gets you out of bed in the morning? I'm not just talking about the little things like getting to say good morning to your kids or having that first cup of coffee when you first start your day. What really motivates you to get your butt out of bed and do something that means something to you?    In this week's solo episode, I'm starting a 10-part series where we explore topics like these throu...

We all want to be debt-free, but sometimes that's easier said than done. To be truly financially independent, it takes grit and willpower, and often patience. But with the right attitude and tools, the average person can turn their financial future around faster than they realize.   Annie Yang wants to challenge the stereotype that millennials must delay important milestones due to financial setba...

Everybody has leadership abilities — maybe you recognized them from a young age, or maybe you have yet to discover them. No matter the case, we all have the ability to lead others and find our own unique leadership strengths.   David Kitchen, founder and president of Edge Leadership Academy and former D1 coach, helps people simplify leadership and find their own unique signature to leave on the wo...

When we find ourselves in a toxic workplace environment, we naturally look for relief and an escape from work stress elsewhere. People will often gravitate toward meditation, yoga, wellness retreats, or pretty much anything to take their minds off of what's happening at work.    After all, we spend the majority of our days working, commuting, and stressing about our jobs. So if that becomes toxic...

What if I told you that some people see more colors than others (but I'm not talking about colorblindness)? Or that an entire art skill almost went entirely extinct less than 50 years ago because of the CIA? Would you believe me?   This week's episode is a wild ride with a little bit of (true) conspiracy theories, some science, and eventually, we get to talking about business. Our guest, Mandy The...

We often hear the advice to follow our passions, but what if we take that a step further and unravel the unique patterns woven within those passions that drive our purpose?   In this solo episode, we're unpacking these two terms that are often used when discussing career paths and career happiness. They're similar but have very different meanings that can make or break our overall satisfaction in...

Unless you're living under a rock, you're probably aware that the fashion and beauty industries have some major issues with animal cruelty and sustainability. It's unfortunately part of the current reality behind many major fashion and beauty brands.    But fortunately for us, there are people like our guest, Suveria Mota, who are looking to change that. With a lifelong passion for fashion and sho...

To help kick off 2024, I'll be sprinkling more solo episodes into the podcast rotation this year. So this is the first one of the year, and we're diving into 3 New Year's resolution buzzwords — mindset, mindfulness, and purpose.   They aren't going anywhere anytime soon, so we're going to take a deeper look at these 3 words and how they collaborate together to guide you in your career journey. I'l...

Networking is one of those dirty words in life that always elicits eye-rolls and groans. But it remains one of the most valuable and useful ways to get into doors that might not otherwise open through traditional job applications and interviews.   While we often view networking as rubbing elbows at a dinner party or attending boring networking events, it's not always like that. More often, it's fr...

When we're moving through life, we can't always see how our choices and life experiences are interconnected. Sometimes, the things we're doing seem so unrelated to one another that you might think it's all just a spontaneous fluke.    Other times (and usually), you can look back at your life several years down the road and see how most of the things you were doing are connected — you just didn't k...

Negotiations are a regular part of life. But much like public speaking, it can be so nerve-wracking to do, no matter how many times you do it. It's a delicate art that can become a high-stakes back-and-forth, depending on who you're dealing with.    But what many people often get wrong about negotiating is that it's not like it is in the movies. At least, not usually.    This week's guest, Dorothy...
