Win At Home First

In today's episode, I am joined by  Robert Glazer , the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Acceleration Partners, a global partner marketing agency. I have been following him for a few years now and enjoy reading his Friday emails on corporate leadership. His emails are pretty legit - he has over 200,000 people receive his emails! Plus, I absolutely loved his earlier book  Elevate , which aligns...

Today's episode with Bobby is packed with great nuggets, I took two pages of notes! He is full of wisdom and I enjoyed every minute of our conversation. We talk about how he views "Team 1" verse "Team 2" and how that helps him win at home. Along those same lines, he doesn't call his employees "employees" but Climbers! And how he describes that is pretty darn powerful. I hope you have a pen handy b...

Today's episode with John Bernatovicz is a great one. Funnily enough, this is not the first time we recorded this episode. The first time we recorded, our files got corrupted and we had to do a re-do. I am so grateful to John for being able to take the time to record again because what he has to say is truly inspiring. Enjoy! In this episode, you'll discover…  What is the key trait to win at home...

On this week's podcast, Aaron Walker said the turning point for his life was when he  "had a pocket full of money, but a house full of strangers." At 35 years old he was very successful, making lots of money but was never around at home. This caused him to really be honest with himself, and make some major changes. He puts it as "prioritizing his priorities." Now, he leads a lot of masterminds to...

Today's episode with Sherman Bradley is inspiring. Sherman is a pastor and entrepreneur, so he has a lot going on. There is so much we can learn from him because he's crazy smart and intellectual. We talked a lot about empathy, and how you can be a feeler, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're empathetic. That was eye-opening to me. Plus he's in a season of rest which for many of us, myself inc...

Happy New Year! Since it is the beginning of a new year, we are all being bombarded with emails about New Year's resolutions, coming up with our One Word, creating 'I will' statements, and the list goes on. I believe in those practices, however, today I want to provide a different perspective. A bigger perspective. This week's podcast will help you 'zoom out' to remind us of why we even make resol...

Today's episode with Matt Lombardi will challenge you to think in a few different ways. Matt says "no" a lot. He believes in living a simple life and has a great hack when you say 'no' via email or in person, which you will love! We also discuss how important is to define your wins, and how to measure them. Matt is married so we talk about how he and his wife spend time together every single day,...

Today's episode is with Jake Loveland. Jake is married and is a father to 5 kids under 5! So we talk about that and how he manages his time.

We talk about the importance of managing two things: Our expectations, and our emotions. There is power that comes from validation, and then...

Dustin Riechmann wears a lot of different hats, thus has many different areas that he can speak into and help each of us. First, he is a degreed engineer, but no longer practices engineering. He took a bold move to not renew his license after reading my book 'Rise and Go'! ( check out this cool story  here!!) So, he understands taking risks. Another cool hat is he started helping a brand called Fi...

Today's episode is with a husband and wife team, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui. We don't have this often so it's a fun new perspective.  They work together to help married couples, as well as authored their book Tandem: The married entrepreneurs' guide for greater work-life balance.  We talk about how to resolve conflict, including some good phrases to use with your spouse when conflict arises, and the...

A friend told me that I needed to connect with this week's podcast guest, Peter Ostapko, because of his heart to help people with their identity. The fact is that their identity is not in their job, salary, or type of car, but instead in their relationship to God. Oh man, am I glad that we connected. One reason is because of the  Kinsmen Journal  he and his team created. It is basically a very pro...

Today's episode is one that will inspire you to take steps towards that dream project you have. Ali runs a specialty food company with her husband and had to make big decisions, and big sacrifices to get there. They both had successful jobs as engineers, so it took a lot of faith in god and their 'why'  as they made the decision to quit their jobs, and move toward this dream. They chose to live on...

Today's episode with Chris is a great one– especially if you are thinking about diving into something new! Chris is bi-vocational. Meaning, that he's got a full-time job, but is also pursuing a dream. Chris has an organization called The Lion Within Us, he's got a podcast, courses, all kinds of stuff and he's going for it!  We talk about what that looks like, just to step into something new, and h...

Today's episode with Alex Demczak is an inspiring one! He went from a full-time employee with Veterans United– a very large mortgage company– to being a full-time author and speaker. Alex talks about the process, seeking wisdom from other people, discerning when to go, and it's a great conversation for anyone looking to maybe do something different or do something bolder in their life. We talk abo...

Today I am joined by Quincey Fox who I met through a master class with Jordan Raynor. I always find it interesting and encouraging when a successful leader is in business with their spouse. And that's exactly what Quincey and her husband are doing! They run GFS Investments and have one daughter,  and are winning at work and winning at home. I'm looking forward to reading your feedback on today's e...

Today I am joined by Mark Phillips. He is the founder of Eleven Tribes Ventures- which invest in start-up companies. What's so interesting about Mark is he enjoys leadership that is faith-forward. He is very strong in his faith and they are also strong believers in the mental health of leaders. They even put money aside when they invest in companies to put towards the mental health of these founde...

Today's episode with  Josh Wildman  will push you to live out your faith more both at work and at home. Josh is CEO of a company with 300 people and they've got God in their vision statement! This is a sensitive topic in today's cancel culture, so our conversation was very eye opening to me, so I am confident you will find it of value as well. Josh also shares some stories of how he listens too Go...

I met today's guest on Linkedin and learned quickly that we have very similar values. After a brief conversation, I knew I wanted to learn more about him and his business. Elliot is in business with his wife and they started a company of their own in March of 2020 before we all knew how COVID-19 would impact everything. We talk about the ups and downs of this and how they got through it– they even...

I met today's guest Judd Semingson through the Jordan Raynor Mastermind program. We really connected over faith and family as he is a husband and father of 2.  Judds' story is really interesting, as he entered the CEO role in the Healthcare field in January 2020- Just one month before COVID-19.  He talks about the adjustment needed when you don't plan on a worldwide health crisis, as well as balan...

I met this week's podcast guest, Jennifer Faust, during our interview process for her to join the Aruna Board of Directors. Aruna is a non-profit I have had the privilege to serve on the Board of Directors for the last few years. Aruna provides sustainable employment to women freed from sex trafficking in India. These freed women make incredible bags, purses and headbands that sell very well in th...

Here is some hard truth... The company will be fine without you. The nonprofit you volunteer for will be fine without you.  Your family WILL NOT be fine without you.  Yes, we need to work hard. Yes, we need to serve. However, we can't overwork and overserve at the expense of our family. This was just one of many pieces of wisdom that this week's podcast guest shared. Amy Connor has been a Brand Ma...

I met Renji Bijoy about 6 years ago when he was a participant in the Ocean accelerator and I had the opportunity to speak a few times to the cohort. I immediately hit it off with Renji. First of all, he is a very personable individual, however, there are two things that stood out to me. First is how radical his business idea was (and still is too many of us). The second is how strong his faith was...
