Legacy Builders Podcast

In this season, there are so many people trying to work from home for the first time. As a couple who have worked from home while home-schooling their kids for the last two years, Ted and Lisa are sharing some of what they've learned to help as others are making this transition. Join in today, and share this with someone you know who is making this change. Also look at Ep 123 if you're wondering about the home-school side.

Some people are highly competitive, some not so much. Whichever side of the camp you find yourself in,  there are healthy and unhealthy ways to engage in competition. In today's podcast, we are talking about how to use competition to your benefit as you are building your legacy while keeping your relationships in tact.

With so much changing so quickly, one thing we keep hearing is how stressed parents are about taking on pieces of their kids' education. Ted and Lisa have been homeschooling their kids for two years and are talking today about how to set up effective systems so that your kids can thrive and you can continue to build during this unprecedented time. Join us, and follow up with any questions you might have on our Legacy Builders facebook page.

We all have ups and downs in whatever we are doing and in what we are trying to build. How do we know the difference between a rough season to walk through or the right moment to walk away? Because let's be honest, sometimes it's easier to start something new than it is to stop something that isn't working. With that in mind, today we're talking about one of our philosophies we use when considering whether or not it's time to pivot.

Starting a project is fun and exciting. However, the question very quickly becomes, "How do I keep going when the 'shiny-ness' has worn off?" Sometimes this comes down to short-term willpower, but usually we wouldn't need to rely on that if we had planned appropriately at the beginning. Join us for a conversation from Ted, who likes to run quickly, and Lisa, who likes to overly plan, as they talk about how they found the happy middle.

While all different types of intelligence are important, there's something unique about emotional intelligence. Before we can use it to fix our relationships, we must acknowledge ourselves. Where are these emotions coming from? How are they affecting me right now? How could I handle this better? This is just the beginning of a great conversation that can change the way we carry ourselves and build the lives we want, fully understanding our own reactions to what's happening around us and staying in control of ourselves in the process.

We want to get to a place where we are emotionally healthy so we can make wise decisions with a clear mind. Once we are there, however, it can be tricky to change what we need to change because suddenly we feel better. So how do we know if we were walking through a season in life or if we're stuck in a cycle? And what do we do when we know where we are? Join us as we look at this idea together.

Haters gonna hate, skunks gonna spray... if you punch them. Today Ted and Lisa are talking about what to do when you receive the criticism that isn't helpful critique but is instead someone wanting you to quit moving forward in your life. Whether it's family, work, finances, or a hobby, there is often someone on the sidelines telling you to give up trying. So when they yell, what do you do? How do you figure out the difference between someone asking a good question and someone who is trying to get you to question yourself? And if they're against, how do you respond in a way that doesn't give them credibility? Let's talk about this!

Ted and Lisa struggle with different sides of this topic, which makes today an interesting discussion. "Yes" and "No" are both complete answers, but how do you manage the feeling of needing to explain to the people around you why you made the choice you did? And what if they don't fully understand? Are we responsible to make sure they have really heard us? And if they don't listen, is it our responsibility to then back down from our initial decision and fix it? Yes, that was a lot of questions, but there are so many that happen between making a decision and having that decision actually actively carried out. So how we give one answer and move on in a way that is healthy for all parties involved and clearly communicates our own boundaries to the people around us and, more importantly, to ourselves?

Have you ever heard someone praising another person and saying something like, "They're so successful. Also, did you know they don't eat ___?" Depending on how this conversation continued, it might turn into a discussion about possible eating habits you could copy or maybe other aspects of their success. But how do you know if those eating habits really impacted their ability to succeed? Is it something that is merely related (the person happens to eat a certain way and has success) or did one thing cause the other? Knowing the difference can make all the difference in the choices you choose to make as you learn about the lives of the people around you. [Also, this is one of our favorite discussions in our household.]
