Barbara Majeski was a married, stay at home mom, raising her three kids in the suburbs of New Jersey working diligently to check all the boxes of what she believed it meant to live a good life. Keeping fit with 5AM runs that wouldn’t interfere with her commitment to being a loyal wife, dedicated mom and an active member of the community. Class mom, philanthropy chair and an organic food buying expert. Check check and check. The right clothes, right shoes and the right BMI. Triple check.

Her imminent divorce would have to wait as cancer took center stage.

During treatment Barbara vowed that if she beat cancer and got another shot at life she would live, bigger, better, and bolder with greater purpose, meaning and intent. Determined that if given the chance she would no longer define happiness by a mythical metrics of perfection but instead explore and redefine what it really means to live a good life.

Southern hospitality. Tradition with a twist. And a bit of sarcasm. That’s what you’ll find here with Mary Hollis Huddleston, on Mrs. Southern Social. She is a Nashville native who loves entertaining at home, but believes in the power of “delegation.” She started in the event-planning business in Dallas right after graduating college. One marriage, one baby, and eight years later, she “retired” from wedding planning, and moved back to Nashville to settle-down for good. Along with her husband, Mary started Please Be Seated, the largest luxury event rental company in Nashville.

“So if you have a day job, why Mrs. Southern Social?” To that Mary says, “Well, I’m a working Southern woman who loves welcoming people into my home and throwing dinner parties, but I don’t have the time nor energy to spend hours on Pinterest, cooking or decorating myself. Thankfully, times have changed, and we no longer have to rely on just ourselves to make things happen. In fact, it’s so much easier if we don’t. From iced cookies, invitations, catering to flowers, I’ll share ideas, inspiration and contacts that will hopefully make your life a bit easier one cocktail party at a time.”

“Southern charm without lifting an arm,” is her motto. Now friends, let’s celebrate…

In this episode, Mary speaks to:

- How learning tools to handle small crises can prepare you for an unexpected big crisis

- The silver linings for your business that can come out of trying times

- How self-care doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective

Inspired by a mentor to reach for more after starting MillennialMoneyMan.com and paying off his loans, Bobby Hoyt began a pursuit of all things personal finance. “My basic philosophy at M$M is simple: I’m going to teach you how to make more money, save more, and pay off debt… and make sure you have fun while you do it.” Through his work on Millennial Money Man, he hopes to help change the face of personal finance in Gen Y by challenging his readers to slay their debt, increase their income, and plan for their future. Since quitting his band director job after earning $3 in ad revenues (a tactic he doesn’t recommend to students of his blogging courses) he has grown his blog to reach over 2 million readers each year. He’s a regular personal finance columnist for the American Psychological Association, and has made appearances on major media outlets such as Forbes, CNBC, and MarketWatch. A firm believer in the importance of the side hustle (and an educator who values sharing his knowledge), he partnered with Mike Yanda to teach through multiple courses at Laptop Empires. Bobby lives in the Houston, Texas area with his wife Coral, their wonderfully strange dog Strider, and can usually be found on the golf course, or boating on some body of water when they aren’t traveling.

In this episode, Bobby speaks to:

- What led to a major leap of faith and career change

- How to build the your business so you can live a life you love

- The importance of building a team to help you manage your business (or businesses)

Professor Kelly Goldsmith is a behavioral scientist whose research examines consumers’ psychological and behavioral responses to uncertainty. Her research is highly interdisciplinary in nature, drawing upon theories and methods from a variety of areas, including anthropology, cognitive and social psychology, economics, evolutionary biology and marketing. As part of her research, she conducts controlled experiments in typical consumer contexts, which allows her to ground her theories in relevant marketplace phenomena. Because her research bridges theory and practice, it contributes not only to more nuanced theories of consumer decision making, but also to new techniques for marketers, firms and policy makers. Professor Goldsmith’s work has appeared in several top marketing and psychology journals. She also serves on the editorial review boards for the Journal of Marketing Research, the Journal of Consumer Research, and the Journal of Consumer Psychology.

In this episode, Kelly speaks to:

- The reason we couldn’t find toilet paper or hand sanitizer when COVID-19 became the number one news story
