Do you own a company? Manage employees? Leads groups of any type? Have you got big ideas, but find yourself self-sabotaging when you try to move forward? Most business owners and managers know that building something big is difficult and being a leader can easily lead to burnout. @jonahboersma takes his extensive knowledge in managing big groups (previous owner of several @dutchbroscoffee franchises) and his life coach training through @fit.for.service to coach leaders on how to tap into your strength and shine your unique light in the world. In this episode, we talk about some of his favorite strategies for gaining clarity and addressing self sabotage . We also go down some rabbit holes on mediation that we think you'll get a kick out of. Buckle up and get ready for lots of laughter, some silliness, and dropping valuable knowledge on optimizing your life with Jonah. 🙏

In this episode, we interview Mark Martinez aka Subset (@subsetgetsit). He's leading his creative lifestyle through DJing (previously on stages at music festivals and now he livestreams on twitch), creative directing at a night club, and founding @thoseinstigators (a roaming troupe that creates moments of silliness and connection at music festivals). We explore how Mark has built these things and how he's stayed flexible to the changes in his life, learning and growing from the inevitable setbacks along his path. He shares his strategies for reshaping his perspective that have helped him cultivate gratitude for where he is in the moment. Mark is a real treat and we know you're going to enjoy this one.
