This episode covers Sami Thomas, who has a passion for Lolita fashion. Lolita is an alternative style that started in Japan that’s heavily inspired by Victorian, Edwardian and Rococo clothing of fashions past as a way to rebel against expectations of young women in Japan.

This episode covers Paul Casey, who’s the mind behind Growing Forward Services. GFS is an organization that focuses on helping both corporate and individual clients change their habits and mindset in order to be more productive, while staying true to core values and giving attention to the things that matter most in life.

Paul has written four books that include The Static Cling Principle (on habits and mindsets), Maximizing Every Minute (on time management), Leading the Team You’ve Always Wanted and Leading with Super-Vision. He also interviews local leaders on his podcast The Tri-Cities Influencer.

.

The conversation ranges from what got Paul interested in time management tactics, to the process of getting his book from mind onto paper (or in one instance a napkin) and several tactics he implements in his life in order to accomplish the goals he sets for himself. With the new year approaching, I feel like there’s no better time than now to start thinking about our own goals for 2022, and maybe even use some of Paul’s tactics in order to get them accomplished.
