Helloo and happy almost December!! We're ending this thankful month with Misty McCraw, the owner of both Blue Magnolia Graphics and Misty McCraw Consulting.

Misty has been a small business owner since 2017. She took Blue Magnolia Graphics, which started as a hobby, and grew it into the complete graphics company that it is today. Because she has a passion to help people, Misty started a community organization in her town for small business women to meet monthly and lend support and encouragement. 

Her part in that led her to her second business, Misty McCraw Consulting. Here, she helps small businesses get started and coaches them through the business process and helps them with marketing and communications!

I really enjoyed talking with Misty and how she got to where she is today. She has tons of helpful advice for new business owners, and I'm so grateful I got the chance to hear from her. :)

Remember, "no one can do what you do like you do it" and "do it scared". - Misty

Happy Monday :)) I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Jean Kathryn.

Jean Kathryn calls herself a wonder woman because she wonders about everything. She has experienced first hand the power of the invisible realm which has fueled her journey and given her the courage to unleash her vibrant inner life out into the world.

I think this was one of my favorite conversations on the show. We chatted about so many different topics, from alchemy, the power of compassion, language, money, and how to really create a life full of joy and fulfillment.

Helloooo! This week's episode touched on all things entrepreneurship, fitness, health, and Stoicism. I'm grateful for the chance to connect with Choong, a fitness coach from New Zealand.

Choong's goal is to help entrepreneurs, hustlers, and millennials build a sustainable fitness system as they enter the age of working hard to earn a living. You cant make money or be the best version of yourself if your body is in shambles. 

Choong has seen and lived (and is still living!) that lifestyle in himself in others to find that perfect work-life-health balance. It is not easy, but with the right framework you can make it work. Live your life. Memento Mori.

In this episode, we chatted about:

• why Choong chose the path of fitness + entrepreneurship
• the importance of health and making time for yourself
• Stoicism and how it helps with entrepreneurship

Power Quotes:

• "Health is not just about the physical aspect or nutritional aspect - health is holistic." ~25:54
• "Work to get the income to support the lifestyle that you want to live." ~55:54
• "Being content doesn't necessarily mean stop demanding more from yourself." ~58:26

Book Recs:

• Atomic Habits by James Clear
• Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz (I highly, highly recommend this as well!!)

Thank you Choong for all of your insights!
