I recently had the chance to read the book, "The Career Toolkit." The reason this book really resonated with me is because of my journey transitioning from within the corporate world and then out of the corporate world. As an entrepreneur this should mean everything to you. Where is it you want to take your career? What is it that you want to build in this career path? What are the tools that you...

I have a funny story for you! I was on Venmo the other day and I saw something that made me laugh. One of my contacts on Venmo forgot to hide their transaction where they purchased fake followers!

What do you think about when you think of entrepreneurship? Some views of what it is could include sitting on the couch watching football with my son, fancy cars, expensive clothes, extravagant trips, and showing off all these thighs over social media in order to get your audience to buy into your lifestyle. When you are thinking of quitting your job it's important to define what entrepreneurship...

I was reflecting on a conversation I was having with a client the other day. They were wanting to shift the services that they were providing to their clients. However, in their eyes, there was a problem; no one was hiring them for the services they wanted to provide. This is "the chicken and the egg" scenario and we are diving into it in today's episode. "Do it before you get hired." IN THIS EPIS...

As you probably know, I am a new father. As I'm recording this, my son is coming up on being 4 weeks old. I'm navigating both parenthood and entrepreneurship and I noticed something really fascinating over the last week and a half.  I took a few weeks off for paternity leave and when I got back into the office, I felt this weird sense of guilt and divided responsibility between my son who is at ho...

Entrepreneurs are not given a roadmap, a guide, or list of things to do with what to expect in order to succeed. What we end up with instead is an open landscape and we don't know which direction to go, nor which obstacles we are going to encounter until we are already in the midst of it. All of us entrepreneurs had to deal with this over the last 18 months with everything we went through in 2020,...

Today, we are diving into a topic that can make people uncomfortable. We are talking about charging; more specifically about getting the bill. I was thinking about the Friends episode where Phoebe was helping Monica do her catering job. At a funeral they were catering, they were trying to find the right time to give the client the bill. This can be really awkward, especially as an entrepreneur. Ho...

Collectively, we have been working together for about 35 years. In that ti...

I'm back with a brand new episode after taking a break from the mic. As you might know, the reason I was away from recording new episodes is because I was on paternity leave. My son joined us about 2 weeks ago and it has been a whirlwind of excitement, fulfillment, and plenty of sleep deprivation. I'm sure there will be a lot more stories coming soon about balancing fatherhood with entrepreneurshi...

Hey listeners! I am currently on paternal leave so we went into our archives! In this episode, from our FITposium podcast, I am interviewing my dear friend, Dave Dreas. Dave is one of my favorite entrepreneurs, not just in the Phoenix market but truly anywhere. He has such open, honest, and raw conversations about the entrepreneurial journey. That's why he's such a perfect person to host on this p...

We've focused on bringing the best guests that edify what it truly means to be an entrepreneur. What it looks like to go against standards, break through those barriers, and achieve real success. Our guest today has done that. When I think about being a female fitness entrepreneur, she is at the pinnacle of that mountain. She is a former TV host, a best-selling author, and a transformation coach....

In this podcast episode, I get to chat with my dear friend Kirstyn Brown, who at the time was the editor of STRO...

In this episode, I was sitting in my office by myself on Monday morning when Instagram and Facebook had been down all day. It's only when things like this happen that I actually notice how often I subconsciously will go on my phone to open the app. I was looking online, doing what people do, when Instagram or Facebook go down; starting looking on Twitter and Google. I went online to Down Detector...
