Un-Scripted

Grandma is back!!
Gisele shares her time in Tennessee.  

During their bonding time where a tiny bit of alcohol was consumed, Grandma shared her "House Rules".

We then take that concept and run with it.  

Who are you letting into your life and who are you closing the door on?

What are your house rules?  

Where do you need to create boundaries in your life?  For your energy?  For your time?  For your relationships?

Take some time this week and create your house rules.

Andy talks about his cat, Monster, that he had to bottle feed.

And Gisele is more of a dog person by the way.

Andy's cat ate the nipple off the bottle and it got stuck.  So Gisele decides to make a point about her business.

Then we shift to discussing the kind of people you have around you and who makes you a better person.

"You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with."  Jim Rohn

If you want to grow, you must look for the kind of people that have succeeded in  the areas of life you need to work on.

Thanks for tuning and sharing this!  Please ask us literally anything.  
We love you!

Gisele talks about her trip to Tennessee to do work around her Grandmother's property.

Tells us just how much of an influence her grandma has has one her life and tells and awesome story about their trip to Canada.

Andy turns her impromptu story in to a lesson about how confidence is a super power.

Do not fake it till you make it.  Instead of being a fake, just be confident in your ability to figure sh*t out.

The art of persuasion starts with knowing yourself, what you do and do not do well, as well as when to lead and when to let others lead.

Gisele and Andy share practical examples of how to effectively use confidence and persuasion to pivot and grow your company or organization.

Send us your question or don't we don't care.
However, we are super glad you are listening!!  Please share!
