We’ve all heard people talk about social media as a place where people share their “highlight reels,” and the same can be true of business. As an entrepreneur, people get to see your new projects, but they don’t always get to see what’s going on behind the scenes. After a real-world conversation with Cody Robinson, Founder of HOMEFIT, about appreciation for spaces where we can be honest and transparent, I knew I needed to invite him on the podcast to talk about this very topic. 

In today’s episode you’ll hear us talk about: 

• The need for spaces where we can be honest and transparent
• The realities of what others see vs. the behind-the-scene realities in entrepreneurship
• Cody’s work in home fitness, reasons getting into a fitness routine can be so challenging, and why accountability matters

If you’ve ever fallen into the trap of glamourising someone else’s success without seeing what’s going on behind the scenes, this might be the episode for you!

Are you the person who is regularly encouraging others to take action on their dreams? If so, this episode is for you! In this episode, I am encouraging all of the cheerleaders and dream supporters to check in with themselves to see if they are actively pursuing their own dreams. There are many reasons why we may not have been able to pursue our childhood dreams, and there are many reasons why we may not be giving ourselves permission to pursue our present-day dreams.

In today’s episode, however, we’ll be talking about: 

• What it looks like when we are supporting others’ dreams but not our own
• Ways that pursuing our own dreams can benefit ourselves and others
• Self-reflecting on your own dreams and ways that you can begin taking action now

You’ll also get to hear some behind the scenes stories about how I have challenged my own family members to pursue their own dreams too. If you are a parent, today’s episode is most definitely for you!!

When it comes to pursuing our dreams, it can be helpful for us to understand the impact that other people’s beliefs about us can have on our success and outcomes. In the same way, we also need to look at how our beliefs about others and their ability to be successful matters too!

In this episode, you’ll learn about: 

• The power of belief based on research
• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in you
• The impact that your beliefs can have on others.

As a result of listening, I hope you’ll carefully consider the people you let in your circle, and I hope that you’ll make an effort to communicate your belief in the people around you!

When we think about pursuing our dreams, the conversation can often be very personal and focus on the things that we need to do as individuals to make our dreams a reality. In this episode, however, we’ll be talking about how we can leverage community and let other people support us when we need it the most. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• The importance of signaling
• How you can signal in your personal, professional, or entrepreneurial life to get the support you need
• To take risks for the sake of surviving and thriving

I love the concept of signaling, and I hope you’ll find it helpful too!

In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about: 

• A mindset Jake has adopted that helps him move forward in his life and business
• How Jake handles hard days as a visionary and leader
• Perception vs. reality–what it looks like when you peel back the curtain 

I’ve seen Jake’s work live in action which is why I was so eager to talk with him on the show!
