In this episode, we interview Katelyn Brewer; she helps us breakdown how she used confidence instilled in her from her parents to grow and serve 100,000 followers. We discussed the power of having confidence and how acceptance of imperfection can drive content. If you have followed us here on the Push Podcast, you’ve heard us talk mostly about three things; Confidence, clarity, and getting out of...

During our interactions with people, be it in our coaching calls or in Clubhouse, we notice that everybody is looking for the secret sauce to being a successful entrepreneur. They want to know how to start a business and juggle it with other responsibilities. Eddie and I have 18 tips to succeed in business we often share but discuss 6 of these in the episode. These tips are not just for people who...

In the previous episode, we touched on this really powerful exercise where you ask your parents or grandparents some reflective questions about their lives and record their answers. Life passes quickly, and often a time a lot is left unsaid or even unknown. This exercise helps you get a really good insight into your parents' lives and what really matters in life. Not only will it help you remember...

Eddie and I have been on Clubhouse a lot lately, interacting, contributing, and learning new things. Among the many things we learned this week is what rich people teach their kids about money. Many people are not willing to talk about money, and some even believe that money is the root of all evil. We learned that to grow wealthy, one has to change their attitudes towards money and view it as a t...

Passion is defined as a strong desire or liking or devotion to an activity, object, or concept. So many people are trying to find or discover their passion. They may feel stuck in the monotony of their jobs and may even begin to question their purpose. However, Eddie and I believe that the word passion is often used so loosely that it has almost lost its meaning. We think that you shouldn’t be put...

You’ll often, you'll hear people in conversation claiming to know something, yet they are not doing it. They know what they are supposed to do to achieve a certain goal, but they are not taking any action towards accomplishing it. This big gap between knowing and doing is what Eddie and I are trying to bridge in this episode. In the process of understanding why people remain stuck in the knowing v...

The PUSH podcast is designed to help us show up differently and push through in life while having empathy, understanding, and seeing things from other people's perspectives. To do this, we have to hold even the uncomfortable conversations that some people would want to simply push aside. Lately, we have been talking about social injustice, racial inequality, and the pandemic. We believe that these...

We all watched in horror the siege of our nation's seat of democracy by deranged Trump supporters and still hearing news reports of further planned protests across all 50 state capitols. This is a culmination of the falsehoods and lies that President Trump has been spewing to his supporters. Eddie and I are so frustrated with what has been happening and what it means to our country, our democracy,...

In the previous episode, we talked about why people don’t set goals. In continuation of that, today Eddie and I will give you some tactical tips on achieving and maintaining your goals. We also talk about how to align your short term goals with your long term goals. But before we talk about the tips, it’s important to preface that it is not always about the goal. In a society that is consumed by a...

As we start the new year, there are differing opinions on whether we should be setting goals, having just come out of 2020, which threw all plans and goals out of the window. Some people are hesitant to set goals for the new year, but Eddie and I believe that we should. As you'll be hearing in this episode, we give 10 reasons why people don't set goals and what it means. Pay close attention to the...

In this episode, Eddie and I will share a framework to help you gain a greater awareness of the wins and struggles of the passing year. We are preparing to enter a new year and we need to start working on the inventory of habits and behaviors that we want to leave behind, the things we want to keep, and the things we need to be grateful for. What are the key things we need to start working on to i...

Relationships and other aspects of life would be so different if we learned to create boundaries. Doing so creates a healthy relationship where either party knows what the other will accept and what they won't accept. It also establishes effective communication within the relationship. It is your responsibility to teach people how to treat you. If you don't teach people what you'll tolerate and wh...

Nobody wakes up and goes inviting problems in their lives, but the reality is that you are not always in control, and you’ll face problems in this life. Eddie and I believe that rather than wishing away or praying for a problem-free life, we should be prepared for the worst that can happen.  Life is about ebbs and flows. Things happen that we didn’t plan. Life was not meant to be smooth sailing; w...

2020 has been a tough year for many people, and the Copeland household has had its fair share of upheavals. So many things have happened, but having the right attitude has helped us sail through the storms. Approaching life with the right attitude helps you get more from it even when it throws some challenges your way. The question that Eddie and I want to ask you is, What's your attitude towards...

Like every one of you, Eddie and I had made the perfect plans for 2020. We had everything mapped out and had goals set for the year. Lo and behold, everything was turned upside down with the pandemic and other events that have happened during this quite challenging year.  Amidst all the difficulties, we have learned important lessons that we thought could help you too. As a matter of fact, people...

When was the last time you exercised courage in your life? More often than not, we exercise courage, even when we are not aware of it. We do some things that other people would look back and think it must have taken courage to do that. Some other times, we have to summon the courage to tackle the big things that we face in life. I recently came across a recipe for developing more courage, which I...

We are all prone to falling victim to self-sabotage, which holds us back from pursuing our goals or trying to level up in life. We become our own worst enemies by creating situations or behaviors that impede our progress. The thing with self-sabotage is that it’s a very discrete thing. It is not something that you are purposefully doing, but rather things that are considered normal but ultimately...

When you get old, the one thing that you wouldn't want is to be filled with tons of regrets on how you led your life. You don't want to feel that you didn't pay attention to some of the important things in life. Eddie and I came up with 10 key lessons that most people learn too late in life. Hopefully, if you are young, these lessons will help you understand some important facts of life before it'...

As a society, we have become so politically polarized that we can't talk about politics without getting emotional and angry at each other. We have reached a point where we can't speak about issues that are important to us without being accused of being from the other side. This has even affected families to the point of not speaking to each other. Even when we make bad political choices, we are no...

As you may have seen on my Instagram and also heard in previous episodes, we are in the middle of our home remodel, which means Eddie and I have been making a lot of decisions lately to the point of experiencing decision fatigue. It takes physical and mental energy to make a decision, which can be exhausting. However, we have some important lessons we wish to share with you from this experience. S...

Most of us are guilty of feeling triggered when we see other people winning. However, we don’t know what they have gone through to get to the victory they are now enjoying. For us to grow, we have to be fully exposed and become completely vulnerable. You become fully exposed by stripping the things you think you know to take on new challenges and learn new things. You can’t grow from a place of co...

Did you know that some of the world’s most successful businesses were born out of a recession? Yeah, that’s right, during a recession or an economic downturn like we are in right now due to COVID, is the perfect time to start a business. Our Cake Mamas business was born out of a recession in 2009. And so were other great companies that you know like Slack, Uber, Instagram, and Venmo. Eddie and I b...

If you follow the @thecakemamas Instagram, then you know we recently organized a garage sale for all equipment and stuff from the bakery after closing down the business. During the garage sale, I met so many awesome people who wanted to buy the equipment. Since most of them were small business owners, I made some interesting observations, which I thought would make some good lessons.   The first l...

Knowing your worth and value and being able to articulate it is an important life skill that will open many opportunities for you. Too many people complain of not being paid or valued enough, yet they don’t know how to articulate and negotiate their worth. In both the business and the professional world, you’ll often find people who have a tremendous set of skills, yet they can’t tell their story...
