Sometimes my head gets into a bad neighborhood and normal things start to trigger me into all kinds of crazy thinking.

This week I tell you about one of those times, and walk through what I did about it.

You have come to the realization that one of your team members doesn't know what he's doing!

Alarmed, you try to decide what to do next.

In this episode, we help you to walk through your next steps.

When I started my business folks told me to "fake it 'till I make it." But that felt inauthentic and dishonest.

More recently I've applied the idea of "faking it until we're making it" in a way that makes me MORE authentic.

Running your own business can feel like you're riding a rollercoaster. So many ups and downs, lots of them really scary!

In this episode, we talk about how to make the ride less terrifying, and I share a ninja move that can get you off the rollercoaster for good.

One of the things that I feel like people get most confused about. Is lead generation and business development for agencies.

In this episode, I give you my dead-simple approach to agency new business.

The answer is right there in the episode title!

Warren Buffet said, "The difference between successful people and really successful people, is that really successful people say no to almost everything."

In this episode, we talk about why it's so hard to say "no".

At a time in my life when I felt like I was failing at everything, my business, my family, caring for my health, and myself, a mentor gave me the advice to "ruthlessly eliminate hurry from my life."

Although the idea of eliminating hurry felt hopeless, I gave it a try. It's still something I work on every day and every week, but it's made a world of difference.

This weekend, I was a little disturbed when the screen time alert popped up on my phone, telling me how much time I had spent on it over the last week. It said, "Your screen time was up 170% from last week." A hundred and seventy percent!?! That seems a little extreme.

Last week, there were (gesturing broadly) things going on. So it makes sense that I was doomscrolling a little bit. But that number made me stop and think about what is happening when I'm obsessively looking at social media.

When the world is changing, when something is upsetting in the world, I start to feel threatened, and my brain starts searching for answers. It's wondering, "What the F*@% is going on?!? How am I going to feel OK again?"

In this episode, I talked about what's happening here and some ideas about what to do about it.

Why do we think it's fair that CEOs make more than front-line workers? Why do you believe that you should earn more money than your team members?

In this episode we look at how one researcher, Elliot Jaques, used science to demonstrate how you can make the BIG BUCKS (and how you can hold yourself back).
