The Badass Roadmap

Look out! Y'all we are FLYING through season 2 and we're back with another rockstar interview, this one with Colorado-based goal-setting badass Kristy Black. Kristy is a positivity powerhouse with the personality of a golden retriever. She helps entrepreneurs with bright eyes and big whys cultivate more joy and ease through strategic brand design and goal coaching. In our fifth interview of season 2, you can expect some of the following:

We loved getting to catch up with Kristy and get a sneak peek of how she uses her background in education to help her clients uncover the goals that work for them. Give it a listen and then, to get more of Kristy and her bold goals buffet, check her out on Instagram at @kristyblackcreative (the creative is impt!).

Hey look, Ma, we made it! Eight episodes later and that's a wrap on season 1. In this last and final episode (for the season), we are comparing our 20s (aka the early years of our business) with our 30s and talking about what comes next (and what we're ready to leave behind). This episode might be for you if you like...

From the bottom of our butts (personally, mine is bigger than my heart so it's an apt substitution), we want to say thank you for tagging along with us this spring as we record our ramblings on business, life, and money.

What comes next? Season 2, baby! We're gonna take some time away to regroup on what worked, what didn't, and where we want to steer this audible rocket ship next and that includes bringing in other creative voices aka INTERVIEWS. Always wanted to hear the BTS story of your favorite creative entrepreneurs? Send them our way and we'll do the heavy lifting so that you can kick back, relax, and enjoy listening to us pepper them with questions. 

Greetings and salutations, kiddos, it's lucky number seven and we're back for our second-to-last episode of season 1 to talk about community. This episode might be for you if any of the following apply:

You can reach us at @thebadassroadmap on IG or via email at [email protected]. Once again, we are asking for you to tell us what your favorite pasta shape is. 

Howdy doody, folks, and welcome back to the 6th episode of the pod where we're chatting about the following:

This is sure to be an interesting ride because, when we first met, we were on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to coaching, one of us enthusiastically for and one of us firmly against (can you guess who was who??). Now we've both changed our stances a little, having each hired a series of coaches for different things and we're sharing our top takeaways from the experience and why it's always worth it to invest in yourself. 

For some extra listening, check out the podcast episode that Jess plugs, "When Business Growth is Bad."

For some extra reading, peep the book that Mads mentions: "Beginners: The Joy & Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning" by Tom Vanderbilt.
