Quantum Business Book Club | The Artist’s Journey & The War of Art 09.03.2022

Well hello again! This episode is a Buy 1 Get 1 free BABY. This week we are diving back into the Quantum Business Book Club with two books by Steven Pressfield. I decided to combine these into the same episode because these books complement each other like yin & yang. The Artist's Journey is the chaotic creative younger sibling to The War of Art's older, capitalist approach to art. I t...

Episode 39: The Leap of Faith (to your Death) 02.03.2022

This week I wanted to talk about beginnings and endings. We're programmed to want to stay in the safety of our current experience. But, how are you supposed to get to your next big thing when you're doing the exact same thing over and over? When things start to get funky, then a bit haywire and then it gets ugly that's the universe telling you it's time for something new. Don't...

Quantum Business Book Club | Sacred Economics 16.02.2022

Hi friend! This is officially a real thing. The second episode of the Quantum Business Book Club. This time we are talking about Charles Eisenstein's Sacred Economics.

Episode 37: Balance is a Verb 09.02.2022

Balance is a Verb. I know you've all heard me say that a thousand times but, the message still resonates. In this episode, I'm building on some of the ideas discussed in season one. Finding balance is a continual process that challenges us constantly so I thought it beneficial to revisit the topic with a new perspective and fresh ideas. Make sure to go listen to the first part of this epis...

Episode 36: The Relatables | The Consigliere 02.02.2022

(Thanks Nona, we've really come full circle now)In this episode we talk about Nona's...

Quantum Business Book Club | Think & Grow Rich, Pt. 2 26.01.2022

Hey friends! This is part two of our discussion of Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Last week we talked all about the 13 reasons for failure.

Even though this framework is over a hundred years old, it still could not be more relevant to how we few business and leadership today. Your success will be de...

Quantum Business Book Club | Think & Grow Rich, Pt. 1 19.01.2022

This week we start our discussion on Think & Grow Rich b...

Episode 26: Dance Monkey Dance 20.10.2021

How much of what you do is performative? As business owners we fall into the trap of tying our worth to our productivity. We use performance metrics to measure our success and productivity.

Episode 25: Identity Crisis 12.10.2021

Spoiler Alert: I didn't come up with a better titleBut this week's episode is all about the HOW.
