On today's podcast, Russ and Mika are talking about something that just about everybody loves: food.
Specifically, they are going to be talking about planning and preparing meals. Meal planning is incredibly important, especially for entrepreneurs and families who struggle to find the time to cook their meals.
In this episode, they will be discussing the importance of meal planning, how they have approached it throughout their lives, and some specific advice on how you can plan and prepare your own meals. You'll also hear some practical tips for shopping, and some of their go-to meals to prepare for the family.
On this week's episode, we are revisiting a topic that many listeners have reached out to us about asking to hear more. Today, we are sharing even more tips for organizing your life.
For those that didn't know, Mika ran a business as a professional home organizer for many years, and organization is a topic that she is still incredibly passionate about.
After we published our first episode about home organization, many listeners have reached out to us with specific questions about how they can better organize their lives.
On today's podcast, Mika is answering those questions, as well as sharing even more tips, tricks, and advice on how to stay organized.
Social Media has become a hot button issue recently, with questions of privacy concerns being raised as these platforms become increasingly more entangled into our everyday lives.
Russ and Mika are all too familiar with this. Social media has become not only a huge part of their personal lives but a necessity for their careers as entrepreneurs. As parents of young children, social media also poses some difficult family questions for them to consider as well.
On today's episode, they are discussing how they approach social media from a business perspective and how they approach it from a personal perspective. You'll also hear some of their philosophies on social media in general, as well as some tips on how to use social media as a benefit in your life, rather than a distraction.
Today's episode is all about email marketing, which can be an incredibly intuitive tool for entrepreneurs.
Russ and Mika both have their own email lists, and they both believe in the power of email communication.
On this week's podcast, you'll hear why they believe email marketing is important, as well as some strategies, information and best practices for how to use email the right way.
You'll also hear all about their recent 2019 staycation, and how they made use of that time to help lay out their goals for the year.
In the midst of all of our New Years festivities, Mika felt the sudden inspiration to jump on the microphone and speak candidly about a topic that is very important to us.
Balance is one of those words that elicits a variety of different reactions from people, but truthfully it is one of the core tenants of our philosophy here on the show.
When we started publishing this podcast, we did so because we are in a constant search for balance in our own lives, and because we wanted to help other people achieve the balance that they are seeking.
On today's show, you will hear what balance means to us, and why we believe that finding balance is an attainable goal for 2019.
Russ and Mika are back from their holiday break to share their final episode of 2018.
2018 has been a big year for the two of them, as well as this podcast.
On today's episode, we are recapping that year. We aren't just talking about the good stuff though. This episode is all about the "Peaks and Valleys"; the good and the bad, and we aren't shying away from talking about the valleys either.
You'll also hear a sneak peek at what we have in store for 2019, including some exciting plans for the future of this podcast.
A few weeks ago, Russ and Mika had a conversation on this podcast about the "Core Four"; a collection of daily habits that focus on the four major areas of life. These habits are a cornerstone of Russ' coaching in the Warrior program.
We've received a lot of follow up questions about that episode, and we wanted to talk about how you can go a step further.
Today's episode is all about how you can strategically plan your next 90 days as a way to set yourself up for success.
On this week's podcast, you'll hear some practical tips about how you can use those Core Four strategies to get organized and take steps to transform your life over the next 90 days.
Russ and Mika have talked quite a bit about business and entrepreneurship in past episodes of this podcast.
They both have experience running their own businesses, and over that time, they have worked in a variety of places, from their living room to coffee shops, to their own brick-and-mortar offices.
In doing so, they have learned just how important it is for entrepreneurs to have the right environment to work in.
Today, we are talking about the pros and cons of these various work environments, and how you can build your own ideal work environment.
Today, Russ and Mika are addressing something that everyone does, and we all spend a third of our lives doing it.
This week's podcast is all about sleep. In particular, this conversation chronicles their own unique journey with sleep.
In the past, the two of them were very bad sleepers, but over the years they have made significant changes to the way that they approach sleep, and on today's episode you will hear all about those changes.
You'll also hear about some of their sleep routines, as well as their favorite sleep related-items, and tips for getting your best sleep.
This week's episode is a very topical discussion as we approach the end of the year. We are talking about holiday traditions.
Russ and Mika have been shaping and forming their own holiday traditions over the last ten years of their marriage.
The traditions that we create with our families can last generations, and they can have a huge positive impact on our lives. This time of year it's easy to get caught up in those traditions, though, and some of those traditions can even become a source of stress in our lives.
Today we are talking about how we can cultivate meaningful, positive traditions with our families, and sharing some of the traditions that we celebrate every year.
