Let's face it -- the main reason why most people are not entrepreneurs is because the level of pressure, optimism, and hard work are different. The demands and expectations are different. For those who see the rewards to be "worth it", they choose this path and do what it takes.

So where does that leave us, entrepreneurs? Usually, in a cocktail of stress and exhaustion, especially if you're starting out. (Unless you outsource and get the right support.... *wink wink*)

Listen in as Kelsey and I discuss the basics of stress management for Founders, mental strength, nervous system regulation, and the best habits for a stress-free life.

Kelsey helps 6 and 7 figure entrepreneurs streamline their operations and provide ease and support for their life decisions. Something like a business and life coach in one! Check her out: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelseymarch/

Do you find yourself "wasting your weekends away" by binge watching Netflix series all the time, drinking, or other things that feel "wasteful"?

Don't get me wrong-- I am not against a little bit of fun, and from time to time I would have a show I want to watch. But these are rare occurences, and I found some fun, super beneficial non work activities for the weekend that help push me forward in life.

I'm so excited to share them with you! :) Listen in, and share your thoughts with me on Instagram: @karlastefan.

This has been a conversation I've always wanted to have!

A few weeks ago, I discovered "passport bros", defined in Urban Dictionary as "men* who have chosen to seek out foreign women, typically from other countries, for relationships. They believe that western women have been influenced by cultural and societal pressures to behave in a certain way, and that by seeking out foreign women, they can find a more authentic, fulfilling, and harmonious relationship. This is seen as a way to restore the natural balance between masculine and feminine energy, and to avoid the "wickedness" of western women."

*Mostly referring to American men

Definitely very fascinating, and I wanted to talk to one who went through a meaningful reflection process before just colloquially identifiying as one.

Steve, a successful Founder and entrepreneur with a thriving location independent business and investments, sat with me to talk about his experience with women, why he prefers dating women abroad, and personal stories of how he saw women around him change as the years went by.

One of the highlights of this conversation was how feminism morphed its meaning throughout the years. Maybe it's a branding issue, maybe it's a reflection of culture. And how THIS, contributed to the rise of "passport bros".

Listen with an open mind....and an open bag of Doritos. LOL

As I go through a major closet cleanup, I wondered what it would be like to discuss power dressing, a polished appearance, confidence, and good energy when meeting people...

So I thought of hitting up my friend, Kurshot, to jam with me on this podcast.

In this episode, Kurshot and I talked about his initial experience as a bartender and how talking with people from different walks of life paved the way to his entrepreneurial pursuits.

We talked about nuances of credibility, trust, beauty, sex appeal, discipline, fashion, taste, and how this all contributes to your personal brand, and how having a strong brand helps a lot in business.

Most people would classify me as "extroverted". I don't think I am a full extrovert though. I love my me-time and I love peaceful nights at home, sipping tea and reading a book.

IKR, sounds cliche, but it's true! Ask my husband, lol.

The thing is, people think this way because they've seen me move around different crowds, different circles of friends, and different business industries.

Some are surprised how I can even get into these rooms, or surprised that I spent time with particular celebrities, and business people who were very "unapproachable".

Well, I think, throughout the years, I've consciously learned and improved on the skill of networking.

Actual networking. Building meaningful professional and personal relationships that stand the test of time.

Listen to this episode for some cool tips on how to land your dream job, your dream business circle, your dream man, and your dream friendships...through networking! I don't have all the answers, but I have some milestones and learnings that I want to share with you. :)

Ever wonder what it's like to do over $7M in sales, invest in a few properties, and write your own book at 21?

Zach Sasser tells it all. Needless to say, I am super impressed by his results, and I thought, we all have something to learn from this "kid".

Listen to Zach's stories of going to school as an engineer, learning sales funnels for the first time, being in rooms with multi millionaires, and his special approach to goal setting and hard work.

My favorite part of the conversation: in his opinion, what are most kids today doing wrong?
