The 200% Life

If there is one thing that’s certain in a constantly changing and evolving market, it’s that it is a smart idea to have multiple and varied streams of income.

As we enter 2021, it’s easy to want to jump into new endeavors while pushing old to-do list items off to the side.

This week we discuss the four Ds of decision making, and how to know if those open loops are s...

In this first episode of a two-part series, we talk about the difference between a vision and a goal or plan, and why you need to know the difference.

We share what exactly casting the vision means, the three things leaders must do to set...

Many of us have beliefs about money that we developed as a child and took into our adult lives – maybe some good, maybe some not so good. One of the cool things about being a parent (or grandparent or aunt or uncle!) is that we have the opportunity to show children just how good it can feel when you are intentional about how you use money. In this episode, Hallie and I talk about why children who...
