Jody Thompson with ROWE. How Changing Your Work Environment Can Improve Your Entire Life Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

In today's episode we speak with Best Selling Author, Co-Founder, CEO, and work place expert, Jody Thompson. She is the co-founder and CEO of CultureRX and ROWE, which stands for Results Only Work Environment. She has been changing the workplace since 2003 and getting the corporate world to see things with a new light. Her innovated ways brings happiness and productivity to the work place, while allowing employees to live a happy and fulfilled life.
Thompson teaches us the troubles of our engrained mindset of today's workplace of managing people and their time rather than managing their results. She explains the importance of employee's autonomy and the positive effects it can have on their results. That employees start to feel like a part of the solution to the service provided, and part of the team.
We learn of past studies done on ROWE showing the lives and health of employees working in Results Only Work Environments drastically improve. Employees become more productive, creative, and all around happier. And the company's top dollar showed a drastic increase.
Listen to today's episode to see how the implementation of ROWE into our currently struggling corporate world setup can be a win win all around.

The Journey to Success is Anything But Linear: Leah's Journey Feb 25, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we switch things up a bit. Paul interviews Leah to get an update on her journey through entrepreneurship. When we started this Podcast we had a goal to share with everyone our journeys along the way. And here we are, holding true to that!
Leah shares with us where she currently is, but she also pulls back the curtains on where she was that aimed her in this direction. She shares with us some of her great childhood and college years. But she also shares the more recent rocky roads that paved the way to who she has become. We learn of her battle with stress induced Alopecia due to a past relationship, her years of "coasting" through life, and the decision to make the mindset change.
Join us in this episode as we hear some of Leah's triumphs and struggles, and some of the life lessons she's learned along the way.

Tips and Tricks to Keep Your New Year Goals and New Year's Resolutions On Track Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Are your New Year's Resolutions and New Year's goals seeming less realistic now that it's half way through January? Did you give up on your New Year's resolution a few days or a week in because the real world set in and they just didn't seem worth it anymore? Well, we have a few tips and tricks for you to try to get those New Year's resolutions and goals back in action. Life is messy, life is hard, and life can be a lot sometimes which doesn't always leave a lot of time for us to focus on doing the things that make us the best possible us. Leah and Paul understand that and go through the same things. Today Leah shares with us some of her personalized hacks she uses to trick herself into getting motivated. (some are more unconventional than others, lol).
Leah shares with us her struggles of coming out of the excitement of the hustle and bustle of the holidays and back into the real world and the low that comes with that. She talks about how she set lofty goals for the new year while she was at a peak with the anticipation of the Holiday Season, and how the post holiday time is not nearly as motivating.
Paul thoroughly enjoys how odd some of Leah's tricks are, even though he is secretly going to try it out himself! They discuss their reward systems and ways to make your goals more enjoyable and something to look forward to.
