Building a Business While Working Full Time With Raj Jana Mar 18, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever wondered how to get the most out of your daily routine? Maybe you feel swamped with deadlines but you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you know what your goals are for your brand or business, but you don’t know how to execute those goals. Of course, we all feel like we could use a little more in our day to truly focus on our passions and projects.

Our guest this week, Raj Jana, founder of JavaPresse Coffee Company, shares with us how to execute our goals by utilizing the time we already have. Raj explains that when we allow ourselves to take time to sit and focus on our goals, we are able to achieve our goals at a higher frequency. By sharing how Raj is able to take ahold of his morning routine and schedule out just a couple hours of work time in the afternoons, Raj is able to achieve his goals in a much quicker timeframe than expected. With a little help from we mentors we trust, we find that we shift our mindset away from the distractions that are holding us back.

How to Turn Your Art Into a Business with Camilla D'Errico Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

Interested in turning your art or creative work into a business? I spoke with Camilla D'Errico an urban contemporary painter, illustrator, character creator and comic artist. Camilla encouraged us to create work from within our “soul” and to remain authentic to what we want to create. People resonate with that.

Specifically, with creatives, she said that people can tell when you are delivering work just to “checkboxes” or if you are creating from a place of joy and purpose.

I know this is a recurring thing with the show, but again people want connection. They want to know you. They want to experience something real. The more you can put yourself into your work, they more likely the RIGHT tribes will gather. Like Camilla says, “People know what’s real and what isn’t”.

Connect with Camillia: https://camilladerrico.com/

Topics Discussed:

The importance of intuition
Being authentic to your work
Connecting with your audience outside of social

Going All in with Your Podcast With Bobby Hobert Feb 18, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever felt like an outcast for going against the grain? Maybe your parents wanted you to follow in their footsteps by graduating from an elite college and working yourself up the corporate ladder. Maybe all your peers have found themselves fancy jobs while you are thinking of taking an unconventional route. Maybe you are the 1% of your graduating class that wants to start something new. The truth is, you may have a calling on your heart to pursue your passions despite what everyone else is telling you.

Our guest this week, host of Purpose in the Youth, Bobby Hobart knew he had to take the plunge after finding himself wanting something different than all of his classmates. After being told he was the 1% without a job outside of college, Bobby knew he had to do something different. In our conversation, we talk about why it’s important to follow your heart rather than what everyone else is doing. When you show up every day as well as utilize your surroundings and the people around you, your passions will flourish. As Bobby tells us, when you treat every day as an opportunity, you will gain momentum.

Topics Discussed:

Why you need to celebrate small wins
How to enjoy the journey
Utilizing your surroundings
How to focus on your why
Why you need to treat your brand as a business
The importance of showing up every day

Life and Business Lessons You Learn Through Sports With Justin Kavanaugh Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

Is there someone you know that has the authority to speak into your life? Maybe you have an old High School mentor that you still keep up with. Or maybe you’ve recently just hired a coach to get more proactive on your goals. Regardless of who is in your circle, there is power in accountability. When you have people you can rely on to tell it to your straight and completely out of love, you will flourish. Not only will your business or personal brand flourish, but you will also have a higher sense of self-awareness.

Our guest this week, entrepreneur and CEO of The Sport and Speed Institute, Justin Kavanaugh believes that good energy finds good energy. In other words, accountability is the key to success within your business. When we are surrounded by people who will not only help guide us through our shortcomings but also celebrate our victories alongside us, we are able to thrive. But it’s not just about pep talks and feel good speeches either. According to Justin, accountability is what helps us refocus on our mission when we feel off track.
