We've said it before here, and you've probably heard it a million times growing up — studying abroad and traveling in your 20s can be one of the most eye-opening, challenging, and soul-filling experiences.

For Jonathan "Quiggy" Quigg, his travel experience after college led him to his current career path of life coaching and teaching meditation. He always had a heart for mentoring others, and was lucky to be able to do it in so many ways throughout his life. Whether it was as a camp counselor, studying medicine and psychology in university, or teaching English in Asia, Jonathan always found a way to work closely with people.

Fast forward to today, he's found his niche in life coaching and teaching meditation as a way to satiate his desire to help others, and he credits his early adulthood travels as the catalyst for finding his way to it.

Key Topics:

1. Empowering people to improve their relationship with themselves
2. Trying med school, but pivoting to psychology
3. Traveling as a curiosity catalyst
4. How summer camp ignited his passion for helping others

If this sounds like something you need (or maybe want to be!), tune in to learn more about Jacklyn's journey to discovering her true passion in life.

If you've never heard of sketch noting, today's your lucky day! I'm chatting with Ashton Rodenhiser about the niche she's carved out for herself from a job in facilitating corporate meetings, to starting her own business showing people a new way to jot down their thoughts and notes.

If you're like 60-80% of people, you're probably a visual learner, at least to some degree. Instead of just simply writing down notes from a meeting, podcast, webinar, or even in your personal journaling, have you ever considered drawing them? This is sketch noting, and it can help people retain information better and give them more clarity on their thoughts than traditional note-taking.

Join us to learn more about this fascinating profession and how Ashton broke into the industry by embracing entrepreneurship and marrying it with her creative spirit.

Key Topics:

1. Making meetings less boring
2. What is sketch noting?
3. Using drawing to help ourselves think and gain mental clarity
4. Redefining what "drawing" means
5. The scientific background of why doodling and sketching while learning helps us
6. Transitioning from corporate facilitator to entrepreneur
7. Changing her mentality around "the starving artist"
8. Finding a niche in tech
9. Overcoming fears while starting a business
10. Going from desperate to confident
11. How motherhood has contributed to her success as a business owner
