Kyle Voltin hadn't really thought about being an entrepreneur until an idea grabbed him and wouldn't let him go. 

In this episode, Kyle and I talk about the challenges and opportunities when you work on a side hustle that fuels your passion but doesn't - YET - pay the bills.

Kyle's venture is called Xtrapparel.com and it was born out of the necessity he witnessed when his brother with Down Syndrome had trouble finding clothes to fit.

You can find Kyle on social media and his website is www.xtrapparel.com. Kyle is also a board member of Gigi's Playhouse, non-profit organization for people with Down Syndrome. https://gigisplayhouse.org/fargo/

Duncan So has experienced workplace burnout, as have many of us. He started his career as an engineer, so he understands systems and design thinking. After he went through what he calls his own quarter-life crisis, Duncan created what he now calls the Burnout Recovery Challenge to help corporate executives not only become aware of their own burnout but to actually do something about it.

Over the years many of us have understood - even in passing - the importance of professional development for the success of our careers. But fewer people seem to accept that Personal Development is even more crucial, especially if you accept that HUMANS are doing the work inside the careers.   That idea of "it's not personal, it's business" may have worked for a while, but I'm wondering if that idea has passed its prime.   In this episode I ponder the choices and decisions I've made and invite you to consider your own Reality Checklist. What do you truly desire? What are you doing to get that and how is it working?   Go to JodeeBock.com to get more information about the REAL EA (Early Adopters) membership group starting in October.
