I can really trick myself into being okay with being cozy and in a rut. It’s so easy to let your work blend into your entire day and give up some of your boundaries. Sweatpants and working in bed? We’ve all been there. I’ve recently switched up my routine to get back some energy and excitement when it comes to work, so I wanted to share with you some simple ways to infuse more joy into your workday. I talk about discovering new places to work out of, setting up reward systems, and giving yourself parameters for when you’re online versus out enjoying life. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • New shared workspace models that I love 
  • Why it’s so important to set a start and stop time for your workday 
  • Things that are helping me be more productive 
  • Really recharging when I’m not working so that I can be fully present when I am

One of the consistent themes that I notice with the amazing entrepreneurs that I have on this show is their ability to confront their fears and believe that they’re truly meant for more than the status quo. Lauren and I are reflecting on that, plus talking about how we’ve learned to empower each other and play bigger with Lite Pink. We discuss learning how to fail forward, what it takes to expand your network, and how to create a work environment where employees feel supported to take risks. I share how I’ve helped Lauren build up her confidence and grow from an assistant to an A Player. We also touch on the role that mortality plays in our drive to create this legacy-building company. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • What has helped me step up to the challenges of launching Lite Pink 
  • Detaching from feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness 
  • Connecting with people who are going to support you in upleveling 
  • Qualities that separate an A Player from a B or C Player 
  • Why leading from fear isn’t an effective and sustainable way to run a business

We’re joined by our good friend Lindsey Schwartz of Powerhouse Women for today’s He Said, She Said! We each share one moment or event of expansiveness when we did something that felt either scary or irresponsible or unreasonable, but it became this moment that radically upleveled us. I talk about how back in 2009 when we were starting over again from scratch, Chris and I rented an apartment in a ritzy building in Minneapolis, even though it was tiny and out of our comfortable budget range. We wanted to be around people who were at the level we wanted to be at, and over our 18 months of living there, we made it happen. Lindsey talks about her decision to attend her first mastermind event and how she learned to make decisions based on what her future self would do. Plus, Chris touches on his decision to go all-in on his FinTech company and partner with someone who can help him get to his $100 million goal. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Getting yourself into the environments where people are at the level you want to be at 
  • Evaluating who you’re sharing your ideas with 
  • How to make the most out of networking events 
  • Asking bold questions and being transparent about numbers 
  • How to know when you’re dreaming big enough 
  • Why it’s good to sometimes feel like the least experienced person in the room

ABOUT LINDSEY

Lindsey Schwartz is a best-selling author and the founder of Powerhouse Women. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.

 

After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!

ABOUT LISA MAYER

Lisa Mayer is an entrepreneur, philanthropist and Founder & CEO of My Social Canvas and Boss Beauties. Born and raised in CT on a small family farm, it was there where she first learned about entrepreneurship and the value of hard work.

After working for edtech startups early on in her career, Lisa left the Silicon Valley scene to pursue her passion to help elevate young women through mentorship and social entrepreneurship. In 2012, with this vision she created My Social Canvas.

Lisa’s mission to equip young women with mentorship programs has impacted thousands of high school and college-aged girls all over the world spanning across 15 countries and over 400 educational institutions. Her work has been featured in Forbes, ELLE, on Bloomberg Live, and through Women@Apple a division of Apple’s Diversity Network Association.

In 2021, after spending 10 years helping to educate the next-gen of women and girls, Lisa launched Boss Beauties. The company is an extension of the same passion and goals she has championed for over a decade. 

The company’s first initiative tackled the male dominated NFT space and is one of the few female led NFT projects to date. 

Boss Beauties’ first NFT collection of 10,000 unique digital portraits capturing independent and diverse women sold out in its first hour becoming the first ever NFT collection to be displayed at the New York Stock Exchange. Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria, and Olympian Allyson Felix are among some of the celebrities who own pieces. In addition, Boss Beauties was also featured on the Nasdaq Tower for International Day of the Girl. 

A portion of proceeds from NFT sales go back to supporting their work mentoring young women worldwide. 

Lisa continues to fight to improve the lives of future generations of women through mentorship activations and collaborations such as Rolling Stone, Neiman Marcus, Hugo Boss, Mattel and more to be announced in 2022. 

Lisa currently resides in NYC with her husband and Boss Beauties Co-Founder Anthony and their son Hudson.

May 4, 2022

We’re answering listener questions today about how to prepare for the unknown, what it’s like to go from concept to launch, and simple ways to get noticed by the people that inspire you. I explain how I do my ‘if this, then that’ exercise to be more solution-oriented and take action instead of sitting in the surprise. Lauren and I discuss what goes into a pitch deck, when we think it’s better to bootstrap vs. raise startup money, and how to make strategic hires that can help bring your vision to life and protect your energy. We also share how we’ve gotten into the rooms that stretch and inspire us, and our tips for how to expand into bigger networks. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • How we’ve learned to expect the unexpected 
  • Being grateful for challenges 
  • Reflecting on how you handle rejection 
  • What a ‘minimum run’ is and how to figure that number out 
  • How to connect with leaders who are in the industry that you want to be in

It’s always so refreshing to have real, honest conversations about entrepreneurship with women who also have big visions. I’m joined by fashion powerhouse sisters Gorjana Reidel and Iva Pawling to talk all about what drives their creativity, how they lead from their intuition, and ways that they support themselves mentally as businesswomen, mothers, and wives. Gorjana and her husband Jason are behind the multi-million dollar gorjana jewelry brand, and Iva is the CEO and Co-Founder of Richer Poorer, an elevated essentials brand. They share how growing up in an immigrant household shaped their work ethic, what their biggest business challenges are, and what they do to relax and recharge. Plus, Gorjana and Iva share the story and design process of their first ever co-designed capsule collection for charity. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Gorjana and Iva’s advice for people who are at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey 
  • The difference between visionaries and integrators 
  • Creating impactful brand experiences 
  • Relying on blind confidence to make decisions

ABOUT GORJANA & IVA

Gorjana Reidel was born and raised in Serbia until she was seven years old and later made her way to the United States by way of Canada. She lived with her grandparents who were a significant influence to her creativity. Gorjana’s childhood home was full of handmade trinkets, which ignited her passion of creation and ultimately led her to visualize gorjana as a brand.

 

After completing her degree in Marketing at Arizona State University she moved with her (now) husband, Jason, to California. While working in the jewelry department at Neiman Marcus, Gorjana realized she had a love for jewelry design. She soon started working with a local designer to learn all aspects of the jewelry-making business. She set out to design fun, versatile jewelry that all of her friends would want - at an accessible price point.

 

At 26, she did just that. Gorjana launched her namesake jewelry collection with an accessible price point that had the look and feel of high-end jewelry. During their humble beginnings, Gorjana and Jason would drive thousands of miles selling their collection and fulfill orders from their apartment. The pair ultimately grew out of the apartment and into an artist’s studio in the canyon of Laguna Beach, California. 

 

gorjana has since grown into a multi-million dollar business with high-profile customers that include the likes of Michelle Obama. Gorjana still maintains the welcoming price point and customer experience, which has allowed the expansion of their DTC stores across the country, with more store openings announced in 2022. 


ABOUT IVA

Iva Pawling is the CEO and Co-Founder of Richer Poorer. Iva has taken the company through fundraising, an early acquisition, and a founder buy back over the last decade. She leads the company’s strategic planning, brand direction and product category expansion with an irritating level of persistence. Iva has been featured in Forbes, Inc., LA Times and included in the 100 Powerful Women of 2020 in Entrepreneur Magazine. She has spent her entire 20-year career in the fashion industry, starting out in the PR closet at Kate Spade and ending in overseeing Brand Development for her sister’s namesake jewelry brand Gorjana, prior to founding Richer Poorer. Iva holds a B.S. in Communications from Arizona State University.

When you’re at an event and you notice that someone is clearly not having a good time, what’s your reaction? If you’re anything like I used to be, you would take yourself out of the fun and try and shift that person’s energy, solve their problems, and ultimately, bring your own mood down. This might be a major wakeup call for some of you who don’t even realize that you’re doing this and fall into patterns of feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. When you start to take full ownership over your own feelings and reactions, that is one of the most powerful places that you can be in. This is a lifetime practice, but I’m sharing some tips on how I’ve been able to implement this in my life and the major changes that I’ve seen as a result of shifting out of my people-pleasing tendencies. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Why you can only be responsible for your own emotions and reactions 
  • What tends to happen when you try to control the energy in a room
  • How to be friendly while also maintaining your boundaries 
  • Reflecting on why you might fall into these patterns 
  • Overcoming the potential discomfort that can come with this practice

We’ve been getting alot of DMs about how we keep track of and organize our ideas, plans, and projects. Lauren and I are diving in on the tech systems that we use, how we prioritize tasks, and why we keep things as simple and user-friendly as possible. It might surprise people to hear that we rely on Google Drive for just about everything, but Lauren is a master at building out progress trackers and dashboards that keep everyone dialed in on what they need to be doing. She also is great at keeping tabs on bigger-picture items. I share how I personally organize the notes section on my phone, and why it’s so important to sit with your ideas for a little bit instead of sharing every single thought with your team. We also highlight why it’s so important to niche down and start with a very focused vision, even when you have big dreams for your company. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Figuring out which ideas are worth pursuing, and which ones can be put on the back burner
  • How we keep track of contacts who have offered help or a favor in the past 
  • Learning how to become more organized as an ideator 
  • Our flagging process with emails 
  • Limiting distractions within our workflows and systems 
  • Integrating Simon Sinek’s Start With Why approach  
  • Simplifying our opt-in plan

Chris and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we’re building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we’ve used to get here, and even though it’ll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You’re going to bump up against family and friends who think that you’re going against their lifestyle, but it’s important to remind yourself that you’re becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it’s in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday 
  • The struggles of going against family patterns
  • Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up in the ‘California lifestyle’ 
  • Choosing to hold yourself to higher standards and bigger dreams 
  • Why you can’t reach your goals by playing it safe

There’s one thing that I’ve been able to pinpoint as a thread throughout all my success and any of the larger amounts of money that I've been able to make: I put myself into the rooms where the conversation was happening, where the bigger money was being made, and where the other people were winning. Whether it was fitness competitions, network marketing, selling personal development courses, and now launching Lite Pink, it’s all because I surrounded myself with people who would push me to pursue my big dreams. I share my journey to getting into those expansive rooms and what you need to be talking about when you get yourself in front of people who are making moves. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • What inspired me to sign up for the Cathy Savage training camp back when I wanted to be in fitness competitions 
  • Leaning on your support system 
  • Having real, open conversations about income 
  • How I got into network marketing 
  • What made it possible for me to even think about creating a beverage company 
  • My approach to getting a second book deal

If you could set up your work schedule and environment however you wanted, what would that look like? I feel so lucky that Lauren and I are aligned with our workflows and are able to maximize our energy, prioritize self care, and still make major progress with building Lite Pink. We discuss some things that people can do if they want to have a conversation with their boss about creating a more flexible and non-traditional routine, and also what to do if you’re an entrepreneur. It can be so easy to burn out and feel resentful when it feels like you’re working 24/7, but there are ways to find a better work-life balance that will help you reach your goals without constantly sacrificing what makes you happy.  

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Changing your workflow with the seasons 
  • Making sure that you’re taking care of yourself 
  • Pitching your ideal workflow to a manager or boss 
  • Addressing your higher-up’s fears about changing up your work routine

Chris and I were reflecting on how we keep investing in these amazing opportunities, and we realized that there are three key things that are helping us make that happen. We’re at a place now where we can recognize a money-making opportunity when we see it, we both have something strategic to offer, and we’re planting seeds to get connected with businesses that are within our zone of genius. We choose to look at everything as an opportunity to increase our wealth and capitalize on our skills. Listen in to learn more about how you can do the same. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Tapping into what you have to offer to other people 
  • The win-win of using affiliate links

I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for the past seven years and it’s been one of the biggest game changers for me. I’m joined by nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert Cynthia Thurlow, and we get into how this method helps you maintain your energy, indulge in fewer cravings, and lower your blood glucose levels. Cynthia shares what inspired her to write her book, Intermittent Fasting Transformation, and how she found calmness in the chaos of her life in order to hit her deadline. We touch on intuitive eating, how the menstrual cycle comes into play with intermittent fasting, and where Cynthia recommends people start if they’re curious about trying this method out.

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Letting go of perfectionism 
  • What Cynthia learned in the book writing process 
  • How intermittent fasting can boost your mental and physical health 
  • Creating sustainable lifestyle changes 
  • How I’ve become less rigid and more intuitive with my food choices

A lot of people say that time is the most valuable commodity, but I actually think that energy is more important. If you’ve been feeling like the days are dragging and you’re totally depleted, I have some areas of your life where you can evaluate how you’re using your energy. I talk about the difference between people who are sprinters vs. marathoners when it comes to getting work done, why I think it’s important to reminage what ‘9-to-5’ looks like for you, and how to make sure you’re working in your zone of genius. Listen in for some simple ways to replenish your energy and get back on track! 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Checking in with your sleep routine, food choices, and alcohol consumption
  • My game plan for when I’m feeling lethargic 
  • Taking advantage of when you feel most energized and focused during the day 
  • Checking off the value-adding tasks instead of distracting yourself with little details 
  • Letting go of the worry and fear about other people’s opinions about you

Social media ads and traditional PR can be so expensive these days that you have to think outside the box when it comes to getting your name out there, especially as a startup. Lauren and I share ten creative ways that we’re using to get people talking about Lite Pink. We discuss why we love text lists, creating opt-ins for Earn Your Happy listeners, and why I decided to write a book while simultaneously launching Lite Pink. I talk about where I see alot of early entrepreneurs get stuck and why it’s more important to just put something out there instead of constantly tinkering with it until it’s ‘perfect.’ Lauren and I also touch on how we’re working on overcoming negative self-talk and constantly comparing ourselves to other brands who seem to have it all figured out. Note to self: no one actually does! 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Recharging on a girls trip in Napa 
  • Getting strategic about a podcast tour to reach adjacent audiences 
  • Utilizing text lists for R&D 
  • The importance of tangible in-person experiences 
  • The crossovers and differences between my personal brand and Lite Pink
  • What we’re most excited about when it comes to launching an app 
  • Getting into the TikTok space 
  • Accepting that you can’t excel at everything

Chris and I have noticed this big cultural shift from the hustle and grind mindset to letting things flow and take their natural course. Which one is better? Like most things, I think it’s best to exist somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. We talk about learning how to hustle with boundaries, giving yourself at least one day a week to be present, and practicing intentional planning. There are moments and seasons when you’re going to have to give it your all, but recognize that you and your team need time to recharge afterwards. Chris and I share how we’ve found the balance of hustle and flow and our advice for avoiding burnout as an entrepreneur. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Figuring out what moves the needle and what’s not worth your energy 
  • Maintaining your morning routine during a busy season 
  • The massive, exhausting hustle that’s behind every accomplishment 
  • Why you need to make your decision and then release it 
  • What we do to rest and recover after a launch

Jordan Lee Dooley is back to catch up on everything that’s been going on since she was last on the show for Episode 436! Jordan is a national bestselling author, speaker, founder and CEO of the Own It Academy, and host of the top-rated SHE podcast. She just came out with her latest book, Embrace Your Almost: Find Clarity and Contentment in the In-Betweens, Not-Quites, and Unknowns, which is perfect for the season of business that I’m in right now. It’s meant for the person who's like, geez, I've done everything right, and things still seem to be going wrong. Sound familiar? Because I know I can definitely relate. 

 

We discuss how to make peace with setbacks and unmet expectations, the role that adversity plays in our ability to gain clarity, and how to cultivate a life that you really like. Jordan shares some projects that have been healing and opening her mind to life outside of her business, and she offers suggestions for how other overachievers can find hobbies that they love. We touch on why it’s so important to lean into taking care of your well-being and get out of your bubble. Jordan has so much wisdom from what life is like when you’re in limbo, so listen in to hear more of her story. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Knowing when it’s time to let go of a good thing 
  • Creating healthy boundaries
  • Making the middle less miserable 
  • The difference between complacency and contentment 
  • Finding tangible ways to serve yourself and your community 
  • The benefits of picking up a new hobby (or revisiting one that’s fallen to the wayside) 
  • How to see other people’s success as inspiration for what's possible, not just a reminder of what you haven’t achieved yet

I’ve definitely been guilty of deciding on something and then not fully committing to it, and let me tell you, it’s not a good feeling. Now, once I decide on something, I attach someone and something to it. I have an accountability partner and put my money where my mouth is, literally and figuratively. I’m sharing why making true commitments are so important and a few tools that I rely on when life comes at me and I’m really tempted to sell out my dream. If you know that deep down inside you’re not committed to something, it’s never going to happen. So, what’s stopping you? 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • The meaning of the word ‘decide’ 
  • Tony Robbins’ analogy for commitment that really resonates with me 
  • Truly investing in your dreams and practicing integrity 
  • Getting out of the instant gratification cycle 
  • Why having an inner dialogue and coaching yourself actually helps and works

If nothing was considered unrealistic or impossible, what would you want out of life? This question came up in a book that I’m reading, The Rhythm of Life by Matthew Kelly, and Chris and I discuss exactly what our answers are to that question. We’ve been putting so much thought into what it means to build a life that we love and what needs to happen in order to achieve that. Really getting clear about your answer to this question will help support and guide you when making bold and scary dream-building decisions. We also talk about the importance of taking on challenges and knowing when to close the chapter of something that you’ve outgrown. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Why I was inspired to ask Chris what he wants out of life
  • What we’re ultimately working towards 
  • How challenges make you happy 
  • Income opportunities that we chose to leave because they didn’t stretch us anymore 
  • An exciting charity dinner that you can get involved with

ABOUT LINDSEY

Lindsey Schwartz is a best-selling author and the founder of Powerhouse Women. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.

 

After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!

Because this is my first time launching something in the product-based space, managing my expectations hasn’t been the easiest. Between timelines getting thrown out the window, working with multiple teams, and creating all kinds of contracts, Lauren and I have learned how to get super clear about what we can offer and what we need. Through this whole process, we’ve lived by the mantra that everything happens to us for a reason, and it’s helped shine some light on really difficult times. Today, we’re talking all about setting boundaries, silver linings of obstacles and hard conversation, and why it’s so important to be a vulnerable leader. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Navigating collaboration with new teams 
  • Being open and upfront about you capabilities and expectations 
  • How to be considerate, yet forward when you need answers 
  • How specific deadlines have added structure to our workflow 
  • Valuing when people go above and beyond for you 
  • Why it’s a blessing in disguise that we didn’t launch when we planned to last fall 
  • Building momentum before a launch 
  • How Lauren supports me in my role as a public-facing CEO
