What changes in life bring about the biggest toll? The answer is always different for everyone, but there are a few constants. Grief, stress, and change itself can be some of the biggest sources of turmoil. For some people, big life changes can be exciting; for others, they’re a dreaded chore.
No matter which category you fit into, though, change is always hard. It’s a process that we go through every time something new happens – we have to adjust and figure out how to make this new thing work in our lives.
Sometimes that’s easy and sometimes it’s really difficult, but it’s always worth it in the end. Because when we finally do settle into our new lives with all of their surprises and challenges.
In this episode, we talk about the changes that have happened in our lives since taking a break. We also talk about the concept of work-life integration, which is something that every business should be aiming for.
So, whether you’re facing a big change in your life right now or are just looking to learn more about the concept of work-life integration. This episode has something for everyone. Check it out now!

In today’s day and age, it seems like everyone is looking for ways to make a little extra money. Whether it’s picking up a few extra shifts at work or starting a side hustle, we’re all looking for ways to pad our wallets.
But is a side hustle really worth it? Is it actually possible to make more money with a side hustle than you would at a full-time job?
In this episode, we talk about having a side hustle and a full-time job. We discuss the pros and cons of each and how to decide which one is right for you.
A full-time job offers stability and benefits like health insurance, while a side hustle can be more flexible and allow you to take on projects that interest you. If you’re trying to decide between a side hustle and a full-time job, consider your goals, schedule, and lifestyle to help you make the best decision.
The bottom line is that there are advantages and disadvantages to both a side hustle and a full-time job, so you need to weigh the options and decide what’s best for you. Do you want more stability and benefits or more flexibility and control over your projects? It’s up to you!

When it comes to shopping, everyone has their own unique behaviors and preferences. Some people love nothing more than spending hours browsing through stores, while others prefer to get in and out as quickly as possible. There are also those who carefully consider every purchase and those who impulse buy on a regular basis.
Whatever your shopping habits may be, there is one thing we can all agree on – shopping can be a fun and rewarding experience! Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone special or treating yourself to something new, there’s nothing like finding that perfect item. And when you finally make your purchase, the feeling of satisfaction is unbeatable.
In this episode, we talk about the various shopping behaviors of each of us. We all know the feeling of standing in front of a full shopping cart, looking at the total price, and wondering how we got there. Or, on the flip side, of leaving the store with only a few smaller items and thinking about all the money we saved.
Our shopping behaviors are strongly influenced by both our personal preferences and outside forces. By understanding what drives shoppers to make decisions, businesses can better cater to their needs and wants.

Social media is one of the most popular ways to communicate with friends, family, and followers. It can also be a great way to stay connected with what’s happening in the world. While social media is often associated with younger generations, it can be used by people of all ages to connect and share information.
In fact, it has become a norm to see people of all ages using social media. Whether it be a toddler tapping on an iPad or a retiree scrolling through their Facebook feed, social media is something that has become ubiquitous in our society.
In this episode, we talk about the different social media platforms and how it has become a haven for people of all ages. We specifically give emphasis on why Facebook will not go anywhere soon and why TikTok is the next big thing.

We have all heard the saying, “the truth is out there.” But as our lives move further and further into the digital age, it seems that “lies are becoming true” on the internet. We see this everywhere on social media, where people can share whatever they want without any accountability.
This has led to businesses being afraid to put their content online for fear of being twisted or taken out of context. But by not having a strong online presence, businesses are missing out on a huge opportunity to connect with customers and create awareness about their brand.
In this episode, we talk about how the internet has become a haven of lies becoming a truth. We also talk about why you should or should not be a shark in the business world.
Sharks are known for their aggressiveness, resilience, and ruthlessness. They are always moving forward and constantly on the hunt for new opportunities. This can be extremely beneficial when it comes to achieving business success.
However, sharks can also be viewed as cold-hearted and ruthless, making it difficult to form relationships and succeed in collaborative ventures.

Tricky times bring difficulties for businesses, but they can also bring huge opportunities or new ideas to upscale and thrive. Despite the fact that the food industry is one of the most affected by these difficult times, we see growth and innovation at the end of the tumultuous period.
In this episode, the Business Geeks discuss the emerging third-party delivery apps and their impact on the restaurant industry. The restaurant industry is just fiercely competitive and low margin business and these apps are taking a big chunk of the profits making it detrimental to the business.
They also talked about the staggering effects on the workforce and how business startups can thrive in order to enter the space. Startups are struggling to raise enough investor capital to get off to a good start. Diverting their focus on how to get investors instead of figuring out how to get their business to work.
Change is inevitable, especially in business. Coping on that waves brings challenges on the startup culture and how entrepreneurs handle it. It’s really interesting when you see these new business models develop as our culture is changing. It is fascinating!

With all of the challenges of the previous year, how do you intend to restart and make this year better? It is easy to focus on the negative events that occurred, such as lockdowns, illness, and so on, but we must remember that a positive mindset can be a great place to start.
In this episode, The Business Geeks discuss how positivity and innovation can help entrepreneurs plan for the coming year. They discuss how work culture played a significant role in implementing a business change.
Because there is an emerging talent war among the leading companies today, it raises awareness about the state of happiness and knowledge in the employees’ working environment. Everyone deserves to be happy, which necessitates a significant shift in most businesses. More emphasis is being placed on transparency and appreciation.
They also discuss how selecting a lens can help entrepreneurs make better business decisions. That will provide long-term benefits and meeting this year’s goals. And because businesses are inherently complex, focusing on simplicity will be critical to achieving goals and improving team understanding.

2021 may not have been the year that we have all hoped for, but it still brought good changes in our lives. We saw disastrous events happening in big business conglomerates, and we also saw significant wins for small business owners.
In this episode, the Business Geeks share their thoughts and opinions about the innovative transformations in business from 2021. They start the conversation by looking back at the unfortunate events from big companies and how this is reshaping company policies.
Another thing that they discussed is the shift in what people fancy for both quality and entertaining content. With a lot of platforms out there, TikTok rose to be the most popular website for 2021, beating great competitions such as Google and Facebook.
This kind of trend indicates that the viewing preference of people are changing, and social media platforms need to keep up with this demand. If businesses want to stay relevant, they have to think of creative strategies that bring them closer to their target audience.
