Education without application is just trivia, making a difference in business can be done while profiting, how to receive more value, all this and more I got to discuss with Warren in this week’s episode!

This requires a combination of solid business skills and disciplines guided by deeply held values.

He’s been helping entrepreneurs do this since 2002.  They have experienced everything from 8 figure exits, to 7 figure salaries, from rapid expansion to minimized operational work because of the development of great leaders and high performance values-driven cultures.  

Warren is the creator of The Business That Matters Playbook, a tool that automates and eases the strategic planning process so the entrepreneur and the team know exactly what to do and when.

Miranda has been on her own since she was 14 because she lived in a home that had very little structure and guidance. Because of this upbringing her life lacked focus and was filled with struggle in her relationships, career and finances. Things started to shift for her, when she discovered yoga and breath-work. She had finally started to connect with herself for who she truly was as she worked through her past traumas, beliefs and conditioning. By combining Human Design, yoga and breath-work Miranda developed multiple practical tools to clear abundance blocks, increase self-confidence and re-connect with your creative spark. In her work as a guide, coach and speaker she helps entrepreneurs step into their highest potential through understanding their energetic blueprint and living with greater ease and authenticity every single day.
