A lot of us are weary of "the new normal." Summer travel plans were cancelled. The kids are stir crazy and want to be with their friends. Parents are trying to juggle work, home life, distance learning... it's a lot for everyone.

Key topics:

✔️ How can we cultivate happiness even in dour times?
✔️ If something could be an email or a phone call, please don't require everyone to get on camera just so you can use Zoom.
✔️ Gratitude is so important, even when we aren't feeling our best.
✔️ Please don't send me LinkedIn spam asking if I am "well amidst the current climes."
✔️ We all have a certain PSI; when you've reached your pressure limit, it's time to rest.

There is real value in cultivating a devil-may-care attitude-- of knowing that even when you face a setback or a bad break, you'll survive it. 

Key topics:

✔️ My "old school hippie" friends and how they approach life.
✔️ Having personal time to detach from your business is so important. You don't have to work 24/7/365 to be successful. 
✔️ It really is true that when one door closes, another one will open.
✔️ You don't have to know "how." Worrying about how something will work out or how the next client is going to show up or the next business deal will emerge for you will suck valuable time and energy out of your life.

Are you the type of person who has to plan everything in advance? Or who has to have 100 questions answered before you can try something new? If so, you could be missing out on many great possibilities in life.

Key topics:

✔️ I can't say I've ever dissected a frog outside of biology class, but I have definitely relied on the skills I learned in speech & drama class.
✔️ Being able to think on your feet isn't important solely for actors or politicians.
✔️ No one is expecting you to win an Oscar, but you need to be able to say "yes" to new things without needing to think it over and rehearse for 2 weeks.
✔️ Sometimes, opportunity only knocks once. If you don't answer the door, you'll miss out.

...til you know what you want!

Sometimes it's not easy to intuit when to go general and when to get specific. In this episode, I talk about ways to know which direction to take when you're planning a life change or setting goals.

Key topics:

✔️ Joe Jackson was right: you can't get what you want til you KNOW what you want.
✔️ Failure to specify your goals clearly enough can actually lead to pretty dire consequences.
✔️ Meditation is an important component in sussing out your desires.
✔️ You have to believe what you're asking for is possible. It will not show up in your life otherwise!
✔️ Instead of considering all the things you don't want (focusing on that which is unwanted), decide on what you DO WANT (focusing on that which is wanted).

Pat Benatar said love is battlefield, but what about your business? My first guest, Michael "Fritz" Fritzius, has returned and in this impromptu and very honest episode, we discuss:

➡️ Is business really meant to be an uphill battle? Is self-employment inherently built to be a terrorizing experience?
➡️ How should you prepare for your day?
