This week Casey and Erin talk with another local entrepreneur who struck out on her own at the same time (about a year ago) to get real about what it's like to start your business full time, being the one and only employee and what it's really like to "work from home" and own your own time. We get into lots of great topics (foxholes) along the way. Enjoy!

It's our THIRD live coaching session and we get into some really good stuff like why balance doesn't really exist, only priorities do, why you don't need outer "permission" to start your business and more. We talk about why keeping your side hustle just a side hustle is beneficial and that sometimes more time at a 9-5 will be better in the long term if you want to be a business owner. This is a great episode for anyone interested in starting a creative outlet or side hustle! 

Today's episode with Iz Harris is off the CHARTZ party people. Our conversation with the amazing YouTube videographer spans from singing for tips at Coldstone Ice Cream, to equal pay, to why drinking water and nice PJs TOTALLY COUNT when it comes to self-case and SO MUCH MORE.

Lisa's background over the last decade has been in advertising agencies from Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.

This episode is going to knock your socks off. Carlene Thomas RDN of Healthfully Ever After is one of the most interesting humans ever she is a Registered Dietitian, met her husband in 4th grade, her first job was an archery instructor and she not only KNOWS food but really, really LOVES it. Carlene gives us some great, real and down to earth wisdom about balance and knowing what works for your body vs. what the latest health trend tells you. She talks about whether or not you need to eat breakfast and that if you plan for it, eating pizza three days in a row is totally fine. You guys are going to learn a TON from this episode and we are so excited. 

BOY OH BOY. First, we want to preface this with the fact that we had never even talked to Holley on the phone before recording this episode BUT we had the absolute best time with the Co-Founder of The Lemon Collective. Holley was a journalist at The Washington Post and took her terrarium making side hustle full time in 2015. She is equal parts hilarious and interesting. We talk about what plants to grow in your bathroom, why Holley hates sleep, adventures at The Jersey Shore, consulting your future 80 year old self and SO. MUCH. MORE.

GUYS - this episode is just SO MUCH FUN, we dare you not to laugh more than 3 times. We chat about why doing the actual work really, really pays off over time. Adam lays down some killer SEO tips. We go down some GREAT foxholes like, the downfall of Instagram Pods, the noises Casey would make if she EVER MET GARY VAYNERCHUCK. We learn a lot about Erin in this ep like that she loves Ben Affleck FAEAEAE, shared a birthday with an elephant and her original AIM screenname was Tickles12. 

This episode is STRAIGHT UP GOLD AND FUN! We chat about so many great things like how there is a piece of the pie for everyone, why staying true to you is SO important in a saturated market and how weaving yourself into your business can seriously pay off - as in actual client bookings. We go down foxholes such as Erin's 5 minute sorority life, Bill Bellichick's sleeveless sweatshirt and the time Erin mistook Danny Devito for Robert Dinero on a red carpet.
