Everyone's talking bitcoin, gold, stocks, cash- but the capital that doesn't get quite enough attention nowadays is social capital. When you want to get into anything, whether that be entrepreneurship, the movie industry, writing, etc,- and we've all heard people say that it- it's not what you know, it's who you know. But often it is because the people you know have poured into you and have helped you to know more. In any space, you can't discount help. That's one of the many facets of life that we cover today with our guest Kyle.

Kyle Finley is the founder and CEO of Twin Termite & Pest Control based in Sacramento CA. He began his understanding of business as early as high school when he decided he wanted to get involved in his step-father's small pest control company. Eventually, he was inspired to build something of his own, and build it bigger. He started out of his garage with the mindset that he just had to put his head down and work for 10 years- that's truly the amount of time it often takes to know if your small business is actually a success or not. By year 7, he was able to begin paying himself. Today, his business has 4 locations and 55 employees total.

Mondays often feel like January 1st- you start off incredibly ambitious at the start of the week and either you crush it or it crushes you. For anyone, approaching everyday life with intentionality is like pushing a boulder up a mountain. For an entrepreneur, it can feel like that, plus wearing a ball and chain.

Technology is making so many things easier, while at the same time bearing new challenges. With everything at our fingertips, disconnecting and decompression become that much harder. Especially when communication lines never shut off.

Today we chat about all that as well as the value of communicating your story as a business rather than marketing and selling strategies, the censorship of thought, and the value of decisiveness and simplicity in this season.

If you've been listening to this show for a while, you know that we speak from whatever is on our hearts. Something we both have been feeling is just how many people around us seem to be feeling fatigued in the spirit. 

The challenges we go through bring out the deepest moments of self-awareness. In the quietness of the day, we find ourselves confronted with realities of our being that might be a struggle to process. 

These are the moments where we need to remember, not just how to take care of ourselves, but also how to love ourselves through it.

Our culture often associates sales with a feeling of sliminess. It can be a space that lacks integrity or care for the customer with salespeople simply trying to make a quick buck and hit their quotas. Today's guest is far from that, sharing his story of how he went from $0 to running multiple 7 figure businesses by remaining authentic and genuine while also pursuing his passion. Yes, it's possible to achieve big without compromising on your values.

It comes as no shock to anyone that one of the places that the past two years have hit the hardest has been the mental health of our young people. The only consistency many of our children have been able to experience is that everything is consistently inconsistent. Relationships have suffered, the ability to be present with our kids has suffered, and we're seeing the effects of that play out in our children's ability to perform academically. Today's guest understands this problem better than anyone. 

Haley Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Pupil Personnel Services Credential holder who has been working in the Greater Sacramento Area for over 11 years. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from William Jessup University and her Masters in Social Work from California State University, Chico.

Haley currently works as a School Social Worker where she collaborates with school staff to support struggling students.

When you start ANY kind of a business, there is nothing more imperative to your success than community. You need strong community within your staff, you need a strong community within your customer base, and just as important- you need a community of other entrepreneurs going down the same challenging path. 

Entrepreneurship to many is a game, but it's not a game that you get to choose the level of intensity. And as they say, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. The same rule applies in business. Success in the game is going to require a lot of vulnerability around the right people who will hold the line of accountability, and it's a process that needs you to be open and honest with yourself. 

That's what we talk about today with Becca Kenyon, owner of CycleLife Studio.

We're in a season of fight and push-through. Many people are feeling a bit off at the moment with so many external factors that are left to the unknown. Identity crises, grief, stagnation. 

A lot of us cope by saying yes to a lot of things when we need to be saying no to more- making time for grounding and processing. In these challenging moments, when you cannot rely on external factors, you need to have solid internal factors. Focus on the things you can control. 

There are always things to be grateful for, even in the darkest of times, even amidst the bloodiest of spiritual battles. In today's episode, we cover how you move forward and what you can create from it.

It is EXTREMELY rare to know what exactly it is that you want to do in life. Some people are lucky enough to figure it out at an early age. For others, we reach our 30's and we find ourselves saying "I should have this figured out by now". I'll let you in on a little secret, none of us, at any age, have everything figured out. Today's amazing guest Eve talks about her journey of "figuring it out" and where she's at now. And gives us some interesting insight into what the tour-bus life is really like.

Eve Overland is a celebrity personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Since 2010, she is best known for training country superstar Carrie Underwood. Both Carrie and Eve have a shared commitment to health, fitness, and wellness and collaborated in the creation of the fitness app, fit52 – which features a wide variety of workout routines that inspire users to follow their fitness journeys. She is actively involved with Underwood’s CALIA by Carrie Underwood fitness line, serving as the on-set Movement Coordinator for photo/video content shoots and participating in various brand events throughout the year. She is also a contributor for Underwood’s new fitness/lifestyle book, FIND YOUR PATH.

When it comes to interviewing your father, you just skip the formalities of intros and just let the conversation go where it may. My dad, Ray Winkelhausen has served our country for nearly 45 years as a Marine. But that's not the only thing we talk about. As our loyal listeners know, I lost my sweet momma to cancer in my 20's and we unpack his perspective on my journey to processing and healing. We talk about dad's own journey of growing and learning from his own mistakes and we chat through an even more challenging topic that dad and Tess both understand all too well- divorce. 

Through every season, even the most challenging, know that there is always a healing season on its way.

We have a lot of parents who tune into our podcast. This past year and as it already appears, this upcoming school year, hasn't been and won't be a walk in the park. Many of us have been along for the ride with our children with no choice but to watch them struggle through at-home learning. But what we come to find out from today's guest, is that a large part of that struggle wasn't just that we were taken from the routine we've been so well adjusted to. It's that we- us and our children- have grown reliant on a system that needs us to need it. 

Here with us today is Matt Beaudreau, founder of Acton Academy Placer, co-founder of Apogee Strong, generational keynote speaker, and a dedicated father. He's been working in the education system for over 14 years and after seeing things from the inside, he realized there needed to be a better option for his own children. He describes Acton Academy Placer as a workplace for kids where the students work on the things they're passionate about while upholding community standards of strong character.
