You know we love a good mastermind group at Profresh. That’s why we’ve got something special for you this week. Tune in to hear our mastermind panel recording live from the Hatchery! We answer questions, share some secrets, and even crack a few jokes.

It’s important to discuss business with people you respect and trust—and that’s exactly what a mastermind is. The masterminders in this episode are your host Kristen from Hoot Design Co., Beth from OneCanoeTwo and June Clever, Liz from Poppy, and Jessie from Scout & Nimble. 

Going from group study nights and microwave ramen in college to the chaos of a 9 to 5 is no laughing matter. Just like any transition, there are a LOT of growing pains. Maybe so many that you just want to throw in the towel. But stick with us, bud.

Your first “big girl job” can bring equal amounts of excitement and dread. There’s no shame in being a bit overwhelmed, or even feeling jealous of other post-grad people who look like they’re crushing it. But don’t be fooled—it’s hard out here. 

We could all say sorry a lil less and nix a few smiley faces. Because in reality, how often are you actually “sorry to bother” someone? Swap that out for “hey buster, let’s move on this.”

Emailing while female, millennial, and low on the totem pole can make for a lot of communication issues. Bring the same confidence to a Slack confrontation that you do to a Thanksgiving dinner with your out-of-touch uncles.

Ever wondered how half of our Profresh duo is doing in the big city? Coworking sounds hip and fun, but how does it actually affect your employees?

Stevie has been working in Chicago for three months now and we have yet to hear the dirt on working remotely. How is Hoot Design Co. faring with their Lead Copywriter in a different state?

Without clients, your business would cease to exist. So naturally, you feel close to clients—grateful, even. But what happens when all those warm & fuzzies that come with being close to a client turns into giving a little too much information? 

Clearly Kristen and Stevie love to talk. But when it comes to client meetings and customer service, what’s the policy on spilling the beans? How open should you be with your clients? Even your favorite ones?
