YOUR BIG NEXT | business growth, leadership development, scaling with purpose, faith and family first entrepreneur

In today’s episode, we are talking about why cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit in your children is one of the most powerful things you can do. We got a lot of feedback on the conversation we had in our last episode around the purpose of the school system and how it’s failing our kids. Some people were having a hard time with it, asking: “Do you want us to just go pull our kids out of school a...

I think today's episode is going to be one of the most powerful conversations we have on this podcast, and at the same time, it's going to be a really tough pill to swallow for a lot of people. We are talking about why things are happening the way they are in the school systems, why schools are just not cutting it alone, how they are not going to contribute to your kids becoming the leaders they a...

Feeling guilty as an entrepreneurial parent? There's no doubt in your mind that solely being a stay at home parent, it's not the call for you. You love entrepreneurship and the gifts that come with it and the potential that comes from it! Then why do you feel this crippling friggin guilt when you're working? Why do you feel like you should be with your kids, taking care of the family and leading t...

Are you comparing yourself to the wrong people? Do you sometimes look around at other business owners who are raising their kids, and you wonder how on earth they're doing it the way that they're doing it? How are they seemingly writing the books, getting the opportunities and making the money all while making healthy lunches that they're sending off with their kids to school or having the downtim...

Today, we are talking about raising leaders, not just entrepreneurs. We are talking about raising kids who are stepping into who they're called to be, who have the courage to live against the grain and to step into their purpose while having confidence and joy in that process.  As a leadership podcast, we're all about outsourcing and delegation and as entrepreneurial parents, we know you have a lo...

Parenthood is hard.  As parents, we're presented with continual and constant challenges and stressors. Parenthood is not for the faint of heart. Simply providing the basics for your kids can feel all encompassing some days, requiring us to give it our all.  As entrepreneurs we have chosen a different path than mainstream society and the fact of the matter is - we have made this choice, not just fo...

My guest in today’s episode is a financial wizard, Mel Abraham. Mel has bought and sold numerous multi-million dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients.

Do you feel that heavy call in your heart to really pour into your children's growth? Do you want your kids to really find their thing, to connect to their purpose, to become these resilient little leaders who aren't bothered by the things other people think?  You see other kids, face down on their phones or numbing out in front of the TV, and you feel that spark in your gut that says: “I want mor...

This is not our traditional episode, but it is one that will serve you immensely. On today's episode we have Michael Unbroken. Michael is an entrepreneur, a coach, a podcast host, an award-winning speaker, a bestselling author, and an advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Michael’s story is mind-bending but on top of that, the whole purpose of having Michael on today's show was to open...

Wouldn’t it be nice if our kids could rise above all the noise and not be swayed by what everyone else is doing or saying? And instead know who they are and lean into the impact that they're called to make, whatever that might look like for them. I have that vision for my kids. But I also live in reality and I know what we're up against. I know they’ll struggle, I know they’ll face the temptations...

Do you ever feel like you've been gifted with this incredible ambition, but you don't have the physical energy to match? In today's world, with all the pressures and all the exposures, and all the things we're walking through, it’s so common to be drained, to not have energy. So, today we're talking about some strategies to support you in your times of low energy and a perspective shift that might...

What is different about the leaders we watch and admire, who seem to stride with more confidence and everything just seems to flow so effortlessly for them? What is it that they do differently? Today's conversation is for anyone who feels like they are having to pull people along, whether it's in their own homes or in their businesses. It’s for those of you who want to be an empowered leader who p...

Do you ever think about the power of the words we use? Using the proper language when speaking to our kids and helping them cast a vision for their future can be so instrumental as to whether they feel like they have to do something or they're inspired to do something; whether something is an obligation or it’s something they're being called to .  In today’s episode, we're talking about one simple...

Have you been wondering where your inspiration went? Most of us get a start in our businesses feeling so inspired by the possibilities ahead of us. That's why we start in the first place. But we come up on these seasons throughout the years where we wonder where that spirit of possibility went. Are we just spread too thin and we can't feel it? Was that season when we were inspired before we had th...

Today's episode is a story about how I cried my eyes out at my kids swim lesson and why it actually applies to you.    I don't know if this happens to you, but God has a tendency to swoop in and humble me, when I need it the most. He reminds me what matters and gives me that gift of perspective. And the thing is, the gift of perspective can be pretty short lived if you don't fully embrace it, but...

This is the one. This is the episode you need. Trust me.  I've had a few interviews that keep competing for my all time favorite and there's no doubt that this one is one of them.  There's a reason why Patrice Washington was named one of the most inspiring voices in personal development (two times!) by Success Magazine, and there is a reason that in her years as America's Money Maven, Patrice beca...

Are entrepreneurs born or made? Do you ever wonder if some people are just designed with entrepreneurship in their DNA? It seems like they’re just made for it and they would never quit, because it's just a piece of who they are. Or do you question if nurture plays the greatest role in developing the entrepreneurial spirit?  So, let's have a little debate today and leave you with some practical tip...

Join me in one of the most impactful podcast episodes you’ll ever hear!  Don't tell my mother, but she's currently in competition for my favorite interview of all time. My mom took the cake with her episode…that is until I had Scott Mann on the show.  18 years as a Green Beret, 23 years in the United States Army, a father, a husband, and someone who has fine tuned his leadership skills and is maki...

As entrepreneurs, we like to study the habits of really successful business owners in order to replicate a process or a system that's worked for someone doing something similar to what we're aspiring to do.  Today, I want to talk about combining the habits of our two most important callings in life - our business and our family. We're shifting out of having to juggle these two worlds and we're ste...

I'm gonna give you a little hint - it is actually not about creating more hours in the day.  I know you feel spread thin, I know you feel hurried, but the way out of it is not working more and it's not getting more things checked off your to-do list. That habit is only going to break you. It's gonna burn you out and it's going to keep you from stepping into the life you want and operating at optim...

This is our most asked for topic yet! As entrepreneurs, we can be well-meaning in our guidance and our little shoves when we see potential in our kids, but we can ultimately do more harm than good in their first experience in the entrepreneurial world, if we're not intentional and understanding of the ways to do it, and the things to avoid. So, your kid wants to start a business? Let’s talk about...

Do you know what the most common thing I hear my listeners and members of my programs say, as already successful entrepreneurs? I feel split in two.    Being ambitious and excited to pursue your dreams in business, but also feeling this pull to your family is such a tough feeling to navigate and definitely one I can resonate with.  How can you ever be enough to lead in two separate worlds? You can...

It's such a dreamy idea to check out of work to show up for your family and have these clean lines between the two. Except that's almost never how it works. You might be advanced enough to do what the gurus teach about having boundaries and blocking time off to be with your family and away from your work, but does your brain always get that memo or is it being pulled in so many different direction...

As entrepreneurs, we have the very best of intentions to figure out how to do it all. From content creation, meeting with the team, checking the tasks off of the to-do list to learning how to use all the new systems and supporting the clients. This doesn’t even take into account the fact that we have a spouse or kids, a home, dinner to cook or laundry to fold, a baseball game to drive to or a pare...
