This week we're mixing it up and sharing the One Complete Email exercises for one of our favorite episodes. Try them out and let us know what you think on our Facebook page.

Sales often feels like a four letter word. We feel exposed, vulnerable—sometimes even cheap. Where is our A game? How do we sell our products and services without feeling like we're selling ourselves? Putting yourself out there to sell isn't easy. You are inherently opening yourself up for rejection. But if you don't do it, you don't have a business. So grab your sales materials, and whatever dose of liquid courage you need, and join us as we talk all things s*les.

As business owners, we know all too well the dreaded shoulds. I should be better with money. I should stay on top of my email. I should post more on social media. I should exercise more. I should eat better. I should. I should. I should. These shoulds not only run our personal lives but our businesses as well. Listen along as we discuss the mental and emotional price that comes with shoulding and how you can get free (well freer) of it.

Someone came up with this list and posted it to LinkedIn. We've been laughing about it ever since. So light a some candles, grab a bottle wine, and cuddle up with us as we deconstruct this important piece of thought leadership.

Are you ready to test your strength? Many of the ideas that we have about strength in our culture and what it means to be strong physically, mentally, and emotionally often do us a disservice. We get trapped in the performance of seeming strong without actually addressing the underlying issues that sap our resilience and make us and our businesses more likely to fail. So pick up your mallet and take your best shot. Just make sure you listen to the whole episode or you'll owe us twenty push-ups!

We wanted to go back and revisit our first episode to apply some of what we've learned since we recorded it. We were really proud of that first episode, but there were also a few things we wished we had done better. So we've cleaned up the sound and tightened the episode up a bit while trying to stay true to that first attempt. We've also added a special behind the scenes look at the end, telling the story of how the updated cover for the episode was created. We hope you enjoy it.

Partners. It has a great ring to it. But people often dive into this complicated and deeply personal relationship without really getting to know the other person. What are their values? How do they deal with conflict? How much equity do they want? Join us as we talk about the ins and outs of business partnerships and what you should consider before signing on the dotted line.

When was the last time you took a long lunch with a friend? Or ate at your favorite place? Do you eat at your desk all the time or do you skip meals? This week we dive into the benefits of breaking for lunch. Why? Because life is too damn short! So join us for a bite as we talk about lunches past, present, and future.

We usually see anger as toxic. And while it can and does have a dark side, anger can also be incredibly productive. It is often the fuel that powers the most meaningful transformations in our business. Join us as we get angry and explore how to use the things that frustrate us about our businesses to move them forward. We promise not to yell.
