EnvironMental with Dandelion

In this month's Book Review Episode, we talk about Crushing it! This is actually the second time we've read this book, but it was no less inspiring. We give an honest review of the book itself, plus active commentary about our personal lives living the "Crushing It" dream!

Our origin story began in customer support and we've grown to know that it's one of the most important roles a business can have. Here we talk about why customer support is worth your investment and why they should have a seat at the decision making table.

This is our longest - and potentially most controversial - episode yet. We go over each of Cialdini's six “weapons of influence”, defining it and relating it to what we see happening in our society - and of course how you can use them in your business.

This term is thrown around a lot, even within our own communication, so we thought it was time to talk about what it means and whether or not "smarter" is always better than "harder."

To be clear: systemic racism is a problem in our society, and it's not just a black folks' problem. In this episode we talk about our connections to the movement, white lady privilege, college experiences, cop culture, and "the great unlearning" (our new term for this stage of civil revolution).

We're super jazzed about our book of this month: Dare to Lead by Brene Brown. Aside from the HUGE Thank You we have to the woman for writing the book, we both felt like we got A LOT out of it - and highly recommend it. This week's podcast episode is our honest review of this badass read 🙂

It's hard to be faced with an opinion you don't like but it's part of being a human that is willing to grow. We don't agree with the current idea floating around to ignore the people in your life that don't have skin in your game. The real test is HOW you listen to the people in your life!

It's Aub's turn for sharing this week - she talks about the fear/aversion of happiness, anxiety around feeling good, and shares her first memory of experiencing cherophobia in her lifetime. (also what the internet says about working through this issue)

Courtney goes deep this week because procrastination is something she works with on a daily basis. We talk about this psychological phenomenon as it relates to anxiety, self worth, addiction, self sabotage, and self control in one of our more serious episodes of the Off Brand Podcast!
