In today’s episode, I want to talk about income projects (also called job projects) and passion projects (also called vocation projects) and why it’s important to keep them separate. I would also like to talk about why it’s important to prioritise income projects as a solopreneur and how to ensure that there is a sufficient pipeline of income projects so that we can keep doing our work.

Distribution is the biggest challenge when it comes to creative work and business. In this episode, we talk about why distribution is important and how you can leverage it in your work.

Here's Jessica in her own words:

My name is Jessica Ashley Steele, and I'm an internationally diverse educator, facilitator, and manager with a research background based in emotional intelligence.

Passionate about psychology, leadership, and sociology, I've spent the last 10 years studying how human beings communicate, learn, and lead - which solidified the foundation for my educational and leadership practices.

I merge Ed Tech and empathy, helping people become absolutely incredible versions of themselves through intrinsic learner motivation, adult learning theory, emotional intelligence, and advanced learning tools.

I employ Authentic and Transformational Leadership, and my career objective is to serve others through deeply meaningful, impact-driven work.

Here's how Michael describes himself:

I’ve had successful jobs – selling Christmas cards, paper boy, putting together boat lights, singing telegrams. I also had other desires…

Built — a professional acting, singing and modelling career working with — Howard Da Silva, John Raitt, Howard Keel, Allan Jones, Bobby Van, Tovah Feldshuh, Ford Models… at the Kennedy Center and other theatres across America. (I even sang for President Jimmy Carter.)

Shifted — from the arts into customer service and sales at an International Cruise Corporation.

Lived — some of my greatest happiness, stress and creativity for over 20 years as a headhunter in New York City – finding people jobs.

Not ‘hit and run’ fill a job and move on but real passion to find the right person for the right job so they could be wildly happy and expressed. It mattered to me. Still does.

I am profoundly grateful to have worked with some of the best people in — finance, entertainment, insurance, advertising, non-profit, architecture, fashion, accounting, legal, publishing, real estate…

Today — I have the privilege to be a Seth Godin Akimbo Workshop Coach as well as a Certified Life – Career – Change Coach, helping create change in people's lives and answering the question: What do you want? And then… making it happen!

I’m honoured that my writings have been published at Arianna Huffington’s – Thrive Global, The Huffington Post, Medium, Maria Shriver’s Website, LinkedIn, Michael Port,

The Fordyce Letter. Mélange Magazine and others.

Yes. It’s true. I do live on the Caribbean Island of Saba where I actively blend my coaching skills with my real estate work. (Saba Island Properties). I see it this way:

Your life is already ‘…wild and precious’. You’ve just hung it somewhere and it’s waiting for you to discover it all over again.

In this episode, I talk to Casey about her journey as a teacher, coach and business founder.

We talk about how she helps high achieving leader find more satisfaction in their lives and careers.

We talk about complaining as a way to finding your way, the fallacy of "try harder", how to look at algorithms as tools to grow your business, getting into flow and much more.

About Casey Von Neumann (in her own words)

Hi, I’m Casey! I help ambitious, high-achieving leaders to find more satisfaction in their lives and careers.

To be rulerless means to consciously choose your own metrics for success and happiness. As my uncle puts it, if the way you’re measuring yourself isn’t working, find something else.

The metric that matters most to me is joy. Freedom, fun, ease, excitement, money, and time to stare off into space are worthy of exploration. What’s most important to you?

I started my career as a music teacher, eventually growing my business into a full-fledged music school. I was obsessive about student success. If a student didn’t understand something, I took it upon myself to try another approach until they did. I discovered that I had a real passion for problem-solving, and I also deeply enjoyed mentorship.

In 2012, I founded The Little Middle School and expanded to teaching all academic subjects. I was able to apply what I had learned from teaching music to create mastery-based curricula for math, writing, and other subjects.

These days, my team and I support small businesses and their teams in helping them find more joy and fulfillment in their work. We always make the business more profitable while we’re at it.

When I’m not working, I enjoy making music, walking, rowing, traveling, reading, swimming, tennis, knitting, sailing, and spending time with my nieces and nephews. I live in Maine with my husband Kyle.
