The Steve Shriver Podcast

If you're ever feeling in a rut or struggle with burnout, you might consider taking a trip to clear your mind. Getting out of your routine by taking a trip can be a great way to get a fresh perspective and recharge your batteries. 

On this episode, Steve is fresh off a trip to the Patagonia Region of Argentina. While that type of trip is not necessary to gain a fresh perspective, having a once in a lifetime international trip will assuredly open your eyes to the way of life in a different culture. 

We hope you enjoy Steve's perspective and thoughts recorded only a few days after returning to "normal" life in the US. 

One of the most rewarding parts of being an entrepreneur is the relationships you develop along the way. As an owner or manager, you probably know the importance of keeping your employees happy but that's easier said than done. 

On this episode we discuss some unique ways to keep employees happy in our ever changing world. 

So Steve is out of the country and we need to record a podcast. What do you do? Call up Steve's daughters and have them TAKE OVER the Steve Shriver Podcast. 

Steve's three daughters, join the podcast this week to talk about their upbringing and what it was like to be raised in a household of entrepreneurship and business owners. They also cover their mentality and advice for entrepreneurs based on their own entrepreneurial adventures. 

A bit wild and whacky, this is a can't miss episode of the Steve Shriver Podcast. 

Stress and anxiety are an every day reality of life for many. This is especially true for entrepreneurs and business owners who are responsible for balancing the needs of employees, marriage, kids and self. Steve is a big proponent of good mental health practices and habits to help you get through the good times and the bad that come with owning and running a business. That's why he's brought on Rina Jensen to discuss that topic in depth. 

Rina is a Mental Fitness & Resilience Coach who meshes neuroscience, energy work and spirituality to create massive and instant change in the subconscious mind. Her teachings help reduce stress, fear and anxiety and increase joy, happiness and improve relationships.
