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

It’s finally here!  The long-awaited episode in which we give you the big reveal! After countless conversations with many of you, learning so much from our clients and our peers, and really just experiencing life ourselves, as entrepreneurial parents who are called to those two vocations and missions of truly crushing it in business, while at the same time raising a happy, successful family, we ar...

What would it feel like to find harmony between your ever demanding work life as you seek to take your business to the next level, and your even more demanding home life as you're looking to raise leaders?  A lot of entrepreneurs, who also have strong roots in their family, are expending so much energy trying to bridge that gap between these two separate worlds - business and family, when maybe th...

Lately, we've been talking a lot about finding your child's passion and spark to pursue a life of purpose and significance, and it has really been resonating with you guys. You've been asking for more and we want to bring you more. We want to continue this conversation because it's so important.  So, today’s conversation is all around the idea of helping our kids pursue their passion versus assign...

How many times have you found success and growth in your business at the expense of your sanity, your family or your joy in the process?   It doesn't have to be that way.    Today's episode will actually give you tangible and tactical ways that you can develop and go from a stressed out entrepreneur into a healthy CEO, building this empire of a business without the burnout. Leave the burnout behin...

Today's episode might be a kick in the gut and it might ruffle some feathers, but I come in peace. Today we're talking about how we can really build and cultivate that connection with our kids. It's something that, if I had to guess, is one of the biggest desires on your heart because it is one of the biggest desires on mine too. We start our business with them in mind even if they are not in exis...

Take a look behind the scenes of Luminary Leadership! Today I bring you our creative director - Caitlyn Jeffery and the story behind what brought us together.  This episode has been a long time coming and it captures the mission of where we're going both as a company and as a team and is geared towards our entrepreneurial leaders and families.  SHOW NOTES: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode5...

How often do we, as adults, lose our passion or lose sight of the things that we were once passionate about? How can you preserve that passion in your children? One of our key jobs as parents is to preserve that passion and not let the world take it. Today, I'm gonna tell you a story that highlights this about one of my team members and one of her kids and, hopefully you take this and do it with y...

I've been so eager for this episode to drop because I know that this conversation with Mike Zeller is going to be one that stays with you for a lifetime! Gearing up for this particular conversation, God just kept dropping in my lap these hints that you, my wonderful listeners of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, needed to have these conversations around the idea of shifting away from just pursuing...

At Luminary Leadership, our focus is very heavy on helping you raise leaders as you build your empire and giving you the tools and the resources to do it. The other day, while I was having a meeting with my creative director Caitlyn, we both had a very stark realization that the school system and society are not helping any of us do that. It's not helping us raise leaders. It's not helping us buil...

It is time for a yearly review. To me, New Year’s resolutions set an unrealistic expectation that things will be different just because the clock struck midnight, without acknowledging how to make them different.  In a way, it's similar to the definition of insanity where we step into a new year with a new resolution, but we didn't change anything about ourselves.  So, today's episode is one that'...

We set our vision and goals for this year as adults, as entrepreneurs. But what about our kids? To close out last year we did an episode around this idea of helping our kids to set goals of their own. But, today we want to give those goals meaning and breathe life into a vision that will really speak to our children.  Goals are just the stepping stones to something greater. They're not the end-all...

Are you “running” your business; are you “running” your family? Well no more, because it's time to lead. This is your year to lead, so no more operating day-to-day or even quarter-to-quarter, no more spinning your wheels or constantly feeling behind, wondering what you need to do to move the dial. I'm not really into the whole New Year, New You thing because it doesn't really account for all the w...

‘Tis the season… for goal setting.  This is something that our children can and should be doing at all ages. Goals help us align our actions with our values and bring what's most important to us to life. Don’t get me wrong, I don't think goals are end-all be-all, but they are the stepping stones in pursuit of the vision of possibility of what's next for us.  There's this staggering statistic out t...

Where do I go from here? Entrepreneurship is an evolution, because you are a perpetual evolution and your business should continue to grow and change with you. Many entrepreneurs, at some point in their business, get a desire to pivot or to make some kind of transition because they are being led into something else. This is totally normal, but it can be challenging. So how do you do it? In today's...

Teaching our kids to get back up!  This is one of the most important pieces to the Raising Luminaries puzzle. Teaching our kids to keep getting back up, to develop a level of toughness that allows them to forge ahead despite everything life is bound to throw at them, will automatically set them apart from their peers. Because today’s culture does not teach this; toughness is not currently a virtue...

Do you ever feel like it's Groundhog Day? One of the most common themes among you, my listeners, is that you feel like you're so in the weeds of today, that it's hard to see how the vision is actually gonna play out. You have vision, but you can't see how those dots connect. The common thread among entrepreneurs who feel the glory of that wholesome success in both their life's work and in their ho...

Confidence is a critical component of developing in leadership, both for us and for our kids. As business owners, no matter what level we’re at, we often struggle with imposter syndrome, desperation for worth, security, approval and validation. I think the answer to all those things ultimately boils down to having true confidence that's innate.  So (per usual) my mind goes straight to: how can we...

Are you toying around with the idea of hosting an event?  Then this episode is for you! Coming off the heels of two back-to-back events, one for our Maverick Mastermind and the other for our Luminary Leadership Incubator, today I'm sharing with you what we did to prep, how to have an inspiring event for your guests that actually makes epic change within your business, what to avoid, and how to lev...

You are open to doing things differently.  You want more for your children and their future than the average person and you're willing to fight for it. But sometimes it feels so hard to break down what already is; the ways of operating that have already been installed into everyday life within your family.  It's a lot harder to undo things that are conditioned into our kids than it is to teach the...

Today’s conversation has been a long time coming!  Trust me when I tell you that you're going to want to listen in and likely rewind and relisten.  So often we're all striving for the next goal, for the next vision in our lives, for the thing that we most want. But it comes at the sacrifice of us. It comes at the sacrifice of joy, of purpose and meaning. And when we really think about it, what we'...

This is not a Parenting 101 Podcast. This podcast is specifically for entrepreneurial parents and founder families who are committed to possibility. We have the tough conversations here and today's tough chat is around the concept of taking ownership and what that looks like. Raising leaders cannot exist without the simple but powerful value in principle of taking ownership. So today, we are going...

Do you have a public speaking opportunity on the horizon?  With COVID somewhat weakening (fingers crossed!), summits and conferences are starting to happen in person. If you are able to secure a speaking opportunity, how do you prepare for it? In this episode, I am breaking down my process for how I prep for a speech with confidence and hope it can help you do the same! I recently went out to Ariz...

How on earth could we expect to raise leaders of our own without talking about Ferris Bueller?! Today, we're talking about life lessons from Ferris Bueller. Stay with me for a second, I have a point to this crazy concept. I miss the 80s and 90s. I love the movies that came out of those generations, one of which was one we all watched. So, today we're talking about some of the learnings that might...

Can our gifts become our limitations?  If you're anything like me, you come alive in your work and little by little, you start to see what you were put on Earth to do. And that is a powerful moment in an entrepreneur's life, when they see themselves beyond just a set of learned skills, when they see themselves as a purpose-driven leader with a passion for their calling. But does there ever come a...

I was never much of a reader growing up, until I read a book that changed everything for me.  Today's episode is all about the value of good literature, literature that teaches lessons to our kids that will help raise them up in leadership, so that the job isn't all on us alone. Today, we are talking about the power of introducing our children to concepts and lessons through powerful stories, stor...
