Into The Wild

This is the energy protection truth that changed everything for me.

When your nervous system is overwhelmed, you miss out on money, opportunities, and so much more. The reality is that the exhausted brain makes cheap decisions, and inconsistency is expensive. This is why protecting your energy is so important.

I used to wonder why I was always exhausted and burnt out, but then I figured it out. In this episode, I'm sharing three strategies for creating more energy. You don't scale your business by doing more, you scale by getting rid of what's draining you.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• The hard-learned lesson I got about protecting my energy.
• How exhaustion compromises your decision-making abilities.
• The momentum tax you're paying when you're not checking your energy.
• How energy creation can feel counterintuitive (even when it really works).
• Why you need to stop doing the work you're good at, and what to do instead.
• How the white space in your calendar creates greater revenue generation.
• Why doing nothing is not a reward, it's actually mandatory.
• An exercise for conducting an energy audit and how to do it most effectively.

Have you ever stood in a place that shattered what you thought you knew was possible?

For me, Dubai is that place—a place where they really built something from nothing. In reflecting on my time there, I've gathered some of the biggest takeaways, and I'm sharing them in this episode.

From the power of pivoting to how asking for help is actually mandatory if you want to build, I'm walking away with a lot from my experience in Dubai. I hope you can use these lessons too.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• What I expected from Dubai versus what it actually showed me.
• Why asking for help isn't a weakness, but mandatory for your biggest visions.
• How to create your own opportunities instead of waiting for the perfect conditions.
• What I learned about judgment and owning your voice so you can shine.
• What it means to build your own 50-year plan like they have in Dubai.
• How to be memorable in your business and why it matters.
• Why you shouldn't wait to pivot, and how to pivot from a place of power.
• A great reminder that paradise isn't perfect (and how to shift your perspective).

Worldschooling our kids hasn't started off quite like we had planned.

Making our way over to Barcelona, where I'm recording this episode, has been eventful. It's been a reminder that you can't anticipate everything, and there are some experiences you just have to live through and get to the other side.

I'm sharing the 10 lessons of leadership I have learned on this trip so far in this episode, and how those lessons have been reflected during real-life experiences with my family.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How our energy sets the tone for our experiences (especially with kids).
• How our first flight got cancelled and everything that happened next.
• The #1 trait of a great leader (including moms as a family leader).
• What I very quickly realized I had to give up on during this trip.
• Why you don't need to be a perfect leader to be one worth following.
• What we teach others in our true moments of vulnerability.
• What handling difficult moments with our kids taught me about leadership.
• Why authority and vulnerability are complementary to each other.

If you're curious about how we run our family while traveling the world, get ready to hear it all.

In this He Said She Said episode, Dan and I are discussing our decision to worldschool our kids and the plan we crafted to make it all work. This adventure didn't come to fruition overnight. In fact, it took years of convincing me and figuring out the details to even start planning it.

Traveling the world with your kids while giving them an education is all about being creative, whether it's making the most of an experience or structuring more traditional learning. It hasn't been easy, but in the end, we believe it will be totally worth it.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How our year-long plans to travel as a family have started off so far.
• The real reason we decided to worldschool our kids (and how it relates to business).
• Why it's so important to let our kids navigate challenges on their own.
• What you should consider before traveling with your kids, and what not to worry about.
• How we overcame our biggest reservations to do life together around the world.
• The proof that hiring help has been completely worth it for us.
• What our lives would look like if we didn't worldschool and the biggest benefits so far.

You only need to be a few steps ahead to be an expert.

You don't need to be the most experienced person in your space to be looked at as the go-to expert, but there are a few things you will need to nail if you want to position yourself as one. Becoming a sought-after expert is actually not about knowing everything.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Redefining the word "expert" and what it means when I use it.
• The importance of knowing your lane (so you can stand out in it).
