I may talk mostly business now, but I am the *Movement* Maestro, and every now and then I like to remind you of that. I’m bringing this episode back from the archives because it felt relevant given the fact that it’s summer and it’s hot as shit outside, so if you’ve ever thought about cold exposure, it’s as good a time as any to try. Look, I’m not about that cold shower life but I did some learning about this a few years back, and while there are plenty of lesser benefits, there’s a lot of great impact it can make on our nervous systems.

Let’s chat.

Age is just a number—except for when it isn’t. I’ve had some clients wonder if they’re just “too old” to be starting a personal business on Instagram, and it’s a valid question. Even though social media seems to be a “young” persons game (whatever that means), there are millions of people of all ages online. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t care to hear a 20-year-olds advice about things, and I’m sure plenty of others don’t either. Which means they’re waiting for someone who may be “older,” and maybe that’s you.

How the hell do you know the “right” way to start an online business venture? Do you start with the thing you care about, or do you do the thing you know will make more money?

If you’re like me and you’re building a personal brand, you already know that trust is everything, and when building that trust with your audience, having a direct line of communication with them is golden.

Once upon a time, I watched the Disney movie, Soul… and I hated it. It had some pretty egregious racial issues, and on top of that, it had a weird and disappointing take on what it means to be passionate. Letting your passion consume you is, in my opinion, a GOOD thing. If you’re lucky enough to have something that sets your soul on fire, then why wouldn’t you let it consume you? Why wouldn’t you dedicate your life to something that gets you jumping out of bed every morning and pushing you forward every day? I think you should.

If you ever wanted to hear me have a conversation with the Energizer Bunny, then you’ll definitely want to tune in to this episode. Jokes aside, you really do need to hear Dr. Alyssa Olenick’s story because she simply doesn’t stop, and it’s fucking incredible. Y’all know I stay calling for MOAR YOU, and Alyssa has no other modes—it’s more Alyssa, all the time. Maybe for some she’s “too much,” but that’s her super power. By leaning in to and owning that “too much” Alyssa has built something incredible that the rest of us are lucky enough to get to be a part of. No one in this world gets to tell you who you are, except for you. If someone is out there calling you “too much,” maybe that’s a sign to lean in, and be even MOAR.

On Monday, I shared about how I really don’t care for being “busy” but it’s still important for me to get shit done. I follow a general schedule week-to-week, but sometimes life doesn’t always go to plan (shocking, I know) and that’s all good, too. As long as I’m setting realistic goals, managing the expectations I have for myself, and do my best to set myself up for success, we’re golden. But as we all know—and as the great prophet, Britney Spears, once said, “You better work, bitch.”

I do not like to be busy. Maybe in my younger years, I enjoyed having a full calendar a little more, but now every time I hear someone talking about doing more, more, more, more, more, I’m just like, “Ew.” In the entrepreneurial space, people can make you feel like you’re not doing “enough” if you aren’t constantly doing shit, so let me be the one to tell you, if you don’t like being busy, you don’t have to be.
