Show Notes:

What can you do to expand your capacity for joy? Sometimes we get caught up in a routine that we don’t even realize is keeping us down. But sometimes taking a step away from that routine makes you realize all of the things that have been causing you stress and overwhelm that you can then reevaluate. I’m going to share how you can create more joy in your life – because that is where all great ideas come from.

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

  • Taking advantage of your situation

Show Notes:

As we’ve been traveling, we’ve been listening to a ton of podcasts that are reeducating and inspiring us to do our best work. Again and again, we are having these reminders of lessons that are imperative to our success.

One of the first reminders we had was from a podcast with Lewis Howes and Rob Dyrdek. Rob does a great job of living his life to the fullest while also achieving incredible things and reaching massive success. He talked about living a life without compromise and following where your energy leads you.

Another lesson is the power of manifestation – but not in the way you might expect. Truly taking the time to embody and visualize the feeling of what you want. Whether you’re inclined to more logical or mystical thinking, this still works. Logically, picturing and feeling what you want is going to wire your brain to take conscious and subconscious actions that bring you the results. Or you may believe that the power of asking the universe is actually bringing you closer to your goals. Either way, this is a powerful tool.

And lastly, we were reminded of the power of rituals and boundaries. Setting clear boundaries and expectations of how long you are going to work, how long you’re going to spend with your family, who you’re going to spend time with, what you’re going to track, and more. You need to exercise your boundaries in order to live a life within the container you want.

There are so many things you can learn from plugging in and listening to things that inspire and motivate you. You are more powerful than you realize, it just takes finding something to spark that memory and then taking the action to prove it.

Through the many traumatic events he’s had to overcome in his life, he’s mastered the art of making internal shifts to change his external circumstances. He’s going to share the tools you can use to make lasting change possible in your life.

 

Question Highlights:

  • What did you do while you were building up proof?
  • What do you beat yourself up over and how do you get over it?

Guest Bio:

Anthony Trucks is a foster kid turned NFL athlete and serial entrepreneur with one serious super power: making shift happen, no matter what, by accessing the power of identity. After overcoming over 30 traumatic life events, and navigating the identity shifts that followed, Anthony has come to be known as the leading expert in “shifting” – which is making a shift internally to elevate how you operate externally. Doing so changes your life. With his unique system, “The Shift Method,” Anthony weaves together neuroscience, psychology, technology, and hard-fought life lessons to help anyone with a desire for more in life achieve any goal they want (or have ever wanted). Buckle up because it’s time to make shift happen.

Show Notes:

Your life is meant to be enjoyed. That may seem controversial 

isn’t life all about the hustle and the grind? You know I’m no stranger to hard work, but it has to be hard work for something. That means if you’re not happy with your life, you have to take an active part in changing it. That also means getting real clear on what you want and going for it.

Sep 7, 2021

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

  • Setting up 2022 for success
  • Prioritizing the little things
  • Find your core values and work backwards
  • Finding the financial sweet spot
  • Getting eyes on your business

Show Notes:

2022 seems like it’s just around the corner. You’ve still got some time to prepare, but if you’re not thinking about it, it’ll be here before you know it. This is the sweet spot where you can make sure that you have everything lined up to make 2022 the best year of your life. We always take the time to plot out where we want to go next year so that we can hit the ground running instead of playing catch up, and we’re sharing the strategies we’re using for ourselves and our businesses so you can set your 2022 up for success.

One thing we always focus on is our physical and mental health. Not only is this important personally, but the better you feel in these areas, the better your business will perform. Identify what practices you need to prioritize, what you need to add, and what you need to remove, and be relentless about sticking to them. The little things add up, so instead of focusing on massive shifts, look at the little pivots you can make that are going to add up to huge results.

The next thing we focus on is what’s most important to us in the next 18 months to make it feel like we are winning. When you identify your core values, you’re able to build your business, personal, and financial goals around those. Find out how much money you need to live your “dream life,” and don’t add anything to your plate that is going to make you money beyond that while also impacting your quality of life negatively.

And last, audience acquisition. There’s nothing that a large, engaged audience can’t solve in your business – and therefore in your life. Focusing on the ways you can get eyes on your product and your business is going to be essential for setting you up for success in 2022.

It’s not too early – or too late – to start planning out your business and personal moves for next year. In fact, this is the perfect time to make the plan for next year that will help you achieve everything you want and more.

Show Notes:

Allie Casazza is my new best friend. She’s pushing back against mom culture that puts parents last and expects them to take no time for themself. It’s what we’re all taught about motherhood, but it is FALSE! She shows how women can take control of their lives, simplify everything, and stop being a hot mess! Her approach to creating an abundant life has helped so many women – and it can transform yours too.

 

Question Highlights:

  • What do you do and where did it come from?
  • Is there a place in your home that used to always suck the energy out of you?
  • What are three beliefs you’ve had to let go of or unlearn to become who you are today? And what did you do to get there?
  • How do you decipher between thoughts based on fear or truth?
  • What are some emotions you’re sitting in right now that you wish weren’t there but you have to try and appreciate them?

 

Guest Bio:

Allie Casazza is on a mission to eradicate the “hot mess mom” stereotype by empowering other women. She has built a massive audience and a multimillion-dollar online business based on her proven, family-oriented approach to minimalism. She is also the host of The Purpose Show (a chart-topping podcast), and the creator of multiple online programs and courses that garner tens of thousands of registrations each time they run.

Show Notes:

Depending on your relationship with your family, seeing them can bring up a mixed bag of emotions, both positive and negative. It’s a massive trigger that can resurface some old tendencies that you’ve been trying to shed. I’m going to talk about all of the triggers that come up in life, how we react to them, and how we can break free from those self-sabotaging feedback loops.

Aug 31, 2021

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

  • Why flexibility matters
  • Where flexibility helped us
  • Where being rigid hurt us
  • How to be more flexible in life

Show Notes:

Flexibility creates opportunity. When good things pop up in life, you will only be able to say “yes” if you’ve been intentional about building flexibility into your life. And a lack of flexibility is only going to cost you opportunities. We’re going to show some examples of both in our life – as well as how you can build more flexibility into your own.

A few months ago, someone made an offer on our Scottsdale, Arizona home that was way higher than we thought it was worth – much more than we paid for it. And even though we had only been there a few months, we saw that it was a major opportunity to make a lot of money fast. That offer ultimately fell through, but it led to us putting our home on the market to see what happened. The flexibility to be OK with either outcome gave us an incredible opportunity.

On the other hand, an example of when a lack of flexibility robbed us of opportunity is when our friend Jim Kwik wanted to use my recording studio to record an interview with Tom, the founder of MySpace. But the studio was completely booked for the day and Jim said he was hoping to get Tom to do an interview on our show after his interview. He told us to “Start making room for the miracles.”

It’s important that you leave space in your calendar for things to show up, but this doesn’t mean to do nothing. You have to go out into the world to allow miracles to show up. Just don’t be so rigid that you aren’t willing to see those miracles for the opportunities that they are.

Show Notes:

The past few weeks have taught me so much about working through imperfection. When you’re trying to balance travel and work, you have to abandon all thought of the perfect time or the perfect setting for what you want to do. It has been the biggest lesson in showing up imperfectly and still getting things done. I’m going to share how I’m working through those lessons and incorporating them into my life.

Aug 24, 2021

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

  • The importance of being present

  • Recognizing silver linings

Show Notes:

Sometimes you have days that – from the outside in – seem terrible, but internally, we have the power to turn those days around. Our brains are wired to focus on the negative, but we can put our lives into perspective with one simple trick: acknowledge that this is life, and this may be as good as it gets. So buckle up and enjoy the moment.

Even on days that suck, you’d be surprised by the joy that can come from just being present in the moment. You don’t have to override sad or painful feelings, but if you acknowledge and accept them, and recognize what each moment has to offer, you can find the good in any situation.

Tell yourself that today may be as good as it gets. Stop comparing where you are against a future where things might get better or a past that you can’t reclaim. Today is all you have, and it may never get better, so focus on the silver lining because, as long as you’re alive, there’ll be one to be found.

If you try that phrase on for size, it will reframe everything for you, and you will find more joy every day.

Cindy Eckert is going to make you rich. She’s sold two businesses for more than $1.5 billion, so she knows a thing or two about building things from the ground up and making money in the process. Now, with her work in The Pinkubator, she helps women break barriers by investing in women founders to level the playing field and shatter the glass ceiling for good. We cover everything from building a billion dollar business to women’s sexual health (and everything in between). You’re going to want to hear this conversation.

 

Question Highlights:

  • How did your entrepreneurial journey get started?
  • How did you get interested in women’s pleasure?
  • What were the belief systems you had to break and unlearn to become the woman you are today?
  • What are some of the bad habits you’ve had to break along the way?
  • What skills do women need to build to be successful in business?

 

Guest Bio:

A self-made serial entrepreneur and vocal advocate for women, Cindy defies convention in her industry, in her companies, in her outcomes. Her work today, in The Pinkubator, continues to break barriers by investing in and mentoring other women to get to her same outcomes. She’s on a mission to make women really rich. You cannot miss Cindy. Everything she touches turns to PINK!

Over a distinguished 25-year career in healthcare, in only the last ten years, she has built and sold two businesses for more than $1.5B. First Slate Pharmaceuticals (which redefined long acting testosterone treatment for men), then Sprout Pharmaceuticals (which broke through with the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women – dubbed “female Viagra” by the media). After selling the company for $1 billion in 2015, she successfully fought to get the drug back and launch it on her own terms.

Cindy has made waves and her own success, creating mission driven companies that deliver big. Her results have become widely covered business success stories featured in major media outlets. She is most proud of helping others take command of their lives. The profoundly positive impact those companies have made for people is what keeps her coming back for more.

Show Notes:

So many of us, as entrepreneurs or ambitious people, think that the challenges we are facing are unique to our situation. From years of running masterminds, I can tell you that the challenges people face – and the reasons they end up throwing in the towel – are largely the same. As much as you plan for your dream and think ahead, you have to make sure that you’re planning for the times when things get hard. Specifically, you need to plan for when you feel like quitting. I’m going to share eight common reasons why people quit early and how to move past them to keep your dream going.

Show Notes:

Intention doesn’t mean anything without a plan to back it up.

Show Notes:

Nothing gets you excited for the day and the future like a fantastic morning routine. We set the intention to come up with new ideas every day and turn our morning runs into a meditation – and it worked like a charm. Starting the day off right raises your energy and leaves you feeling great.

This is proof that you can change your state. If you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, things will begin to stack against you, but with just a few simple things, you can change your perspective which will ultimately change your results.

Everyone has a different formula for what affects them. Our formula may not work for everyone, but if we move our bodies and choose different thoughts in the morning, it will set us up for the rest of the day.

I love routine. Even when it comes to going on vacation, it can really throw me off my game when I break away from my daily habits. But when you’re setting big goals and constantly striving for more, you can’t let those things hold you back from living your life. It’s time to question your rituals and routines and see if you can figure out how to do that thing you’ve been putting off while still accomplishing what you set out to do.

  • Why being nimble is a superpower

  • Having conversations with your partner

 

Resources:

Show Notes:

One superpower that has always served us well over our lifetimes is being nimble. It’s led to windfalls, business success, healthy relationships, and more. When you see someone who, from the outside, appears to always be winning, what you’re really seeing is someone who’s not afraid to adapt when their idea is failing.

So why is being nimble so hard for people? Because it’s not comfortable. You have to take a lot of risks and make a lot of gambles in order to stay nimble. When you truly embrace being nimble, it actually takes the risk out of those gambles. When your gamble falls through, if you just stay nimble, you’ll move on to the next move quickly.

Being nimble allows you to seize opportunities. If you’re stuck on one way of being for too long, who knows what you could be missing out on?

Show Notes:

You don’t deserve to deny yourself pleasure and desire in your life. It’s so important to build our lives in a way that constantly gives us joy and pleasure. When you aren’t feeling pleasure in your day to day life, you risk numbing out on short-term dopamine hits that don’t bring us any long-term satisfaction, or you put all of your hopes for pleasure into one thing and just run it into the ground. Spread your pleasure out throughout your life. Stop delaying pleasure for the future and find joy in the moment, whatever you’re doing.

Show Notes:

Why is it so hard to ask for help? This is a weakness for many people – and there’s so many reasons why that may be. A major part is the fear of bugging people. There’s a difference between knowing how to ask for help and making it feel burdensome. It requires approaching that ask with a certain energy. We’re going to look at how you can go in for that ask without putting the pressure on.

There are two main factors that contribute to getting better at asking:

  1. Do you have your asking muscles developed?
  2. Do you have people to ask?

When you’re going in for an ask, you have to make sure you know what you’re asking. Ask it in a way that doesn’t require follow-up questions. Be clear and concise and don’t waste the person’s time. You only get one shot at this so take your time making sure the question is just right.

Whatever you do, don’t be an “askhole.” That’s someone who asks for advice but doesn’t take any action. If you’re going to ask for help, make sure you are actioning it immediately. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but when people see that you’re the kind of person who puts advice into practice, they’ll be happy to give you more of it.

The second part of this is who you ask. A lot of people are shooting for the stars and asking the biggest names they can think of without having the ability to offer them anything in return. Instead, start with the people within your own network. If you don’t have a network, it’s your job to seek out people online and find them. People with similar goals, interests, or wants as you.

Knowing how to ask and how to build a circle of influence to ask within is going to make your journey as an entrepreneur go so much smoother. Collaboration is the shortcut to success. It is a skill, but it is one worth building.
