Not Your Average Jo

I'm so excited for this episode. Jan and I talked about the JUICY stuff, you're going to want to listen to the whole episode. We talk about building a business while traveling, the mistakes every entrepreneur should avoid, and talk about why it's difficult to have romantic relationships when you're living the "dream" life.

This week, I'm so excited to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, Lucy Blehar. I've known her for around seven years now, and she's the kind of friend who always has a creative project cooking. She first moved to LA to pursue traditional acting, and after several auditions and "no's," she took matters into her own hands and started putting skits on TikTok. At almost 200,000 followers, she has wisdom to share about Hollywood, how it's changing, and why creativity shouldn't be considered an option, but rather, a duty. Don't forget to rate the show 5 stars if you liked this episode!

Mentorship, a fancy word for the concept of having a smart cheerleader on your side. It's been a main tool and concept in my life, first I'd cold email people on Linkedin, then I'd follow up after meeting them at events, and over the years, I've built a solid team of mentors from all different walks of life that keep me accountable.Today, my guest is a professional mentor (aka executive coach), and he breaks down how to identify great mentors, and shares wisdom that you'll be able to start implementing right after you listen. You're going to want to take notes.

Financial literacy is one of my passions. The only way I've been able to live a global lifestyle and treat the people I love is because money has always been a priority to me; understanding it, making it, keeping it, and growing it. On today's episode, I sit with the CEO of HerFirst100k, a company dedicated towards financial literacy for women (and people who need financial literacy in general), and we get into allllll the details on why knowing more about money is an active form of protest against the system. You're going to want to take notes for this one.
