#WorkShouldntSuck with the "Ditch Your 9-5" Coach Keith Allen Johns Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

Get ready to be inspired!!! We are honored to have the inspiring entrepreneur, Keith Allen Johns on today's episode to discuss the importance of creating a career that fits into your life. He is the epitome of what we would call LIFE WORK BALANCE. Anyone who's hashtag is #workshouldntsuck is our kind of people, and we think you'll agree!
Johns is a career coach who helps individuals who feel stuck in their corporate 9-5 find the freedom they are seeking. He believes if it doesn't make you happy anymore, it's time to make a change. Hence his business motto "Ditch your 9-5 & live full out". He believes your career should fit in around your LIFE, not your life fitting in around your career, and he helps individuals make that happen!
Johns shares with us his inspiring story of how he once was in the corporate world, climbing the ladder, making the big bucks, but just didn't feel like it was enough. After his life changing investment in his own coaches, he came to realize he doesn't have to live the expected work life path. Throwing caution to the wind, he gave up his corporate big bucks, followed his calling, and has been helping people find their path ever since.
We encourage you to share this episode with anyone struggling to find the balance. Our goal is to help as many people as possible find the freedom of Life Work Balance and we think Keith Allen Johns can help!

Want more MONEY back on your TAXES? With Tax Supervisor, Greg Cheza Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

This entertaining episode is a DO NOT MISS for anyone that pays taxes (and that should be all of y'all). Greg Cheza, a Tax Supervisor at Stewart and Company Accounting Firm in Virginia Beach, Va helps to answer all our questions around paying taxes and legally keeping more money for ourselves. You won't want to miss all of Leah's ridiculous questions around taxes and attempts at tax write-offs!
We had way too much fun recording this episode, who would have thought taxes could be so funny! Greg somehow is able to make the topic of taxes entertaining while also being very informative. He helps to navigate both entrepreneurs and W2 employees through the seen and unforeseen rules of taxes.
We discuss the benefits of being organized and having separate accounts for separate businesses. Cheza explains to us the role programs such as Quickbooks can play in running a business. It not only will organize your business expenses, but will also send your customers invoices, as well as accept payments straight through the website. A great way to keep your income and expenses straight and have everything all ready come tax season.

Show notes

Today Leah and Paul have a fun talk with Amanda Thompson, the "Chief of Compassion" to what was formerly the company Student Maid. Which has, since Covid, transitioned into a Leadership Company. She is also the private executive assistant to Kristen Hadeed, the CEO and founder of Student Maid and author of Permission To Screw Up.
Student Maid was a cleaning company Kristen Hadeed had created, unintentionally. She learned how to be a great leader by making mistakes and learning from them along the way. As the company grew so did the culture. Amanda explains to us that their team all work as one to make sure they are leading with love, yet keeping structure.
We learn all about how Student Maid came to fruition, and how some of Kristen's biggest mistakes became the company's greatest strengths. And then how the closing of colleges due to Covid forced the natural transition for the the company into teaching others the human leadership skills they were using. All of these stories can be found in Kristen Hadeed's book Permission To Screw Up.
The Kristen Hadeed Team run The Human Leadership Program monthly, which is currently virtual. Kristen also speaks to companies all over the globe to teach Human Leadership.

Goal Setting your way to the best you possible Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

Paul and Leah teach us the goal setting techniques they use to push themselves to be their best in both business and in life.
Leah shares with us her current frustrations with a goal she as not able to accomplish before her self chosen deadline. She discusses the idea of trying to give herself some grace on this setback.
Paul talks to us about how he is trying to set a few audacious goals that will push him out of his comfort zone. He also told us about his 10 goals he set at the start of 2021, one of which is to make $10,000 with a side hustle/side job. And he teaches us how he organize his goals in spreadsheet, and then makes weekly and daily smaller goals to help accomplish the large end goal.
To no one's surprise, one of Paul's 2022 goals is to help Cleveland Cookie Guy invent a new cookie, he's thinking maybe a s'mores flavor. Let us know on our new Life Work Balance Podcast Facebook Page what you think about that flavor, or if you have one you would prefer.
If you're interested in ordering Cleveland Cookie Guy Cookies you can Message him on Instagram at CleCookieGuy
Be sure to listen until the end when the amazing puppy Golden, Champ shows up as a special guest...he does his best to distract Paul, but Paul really came through with the multitasking. haha, but as a result, Paul has agreed to flood our Podcast Facebook page with pictures of the cute Champ!
Be on the lookout on our new Facebook Page for Leah and Paul's goals. Leah claims she is going to share them with everyone instead of keeping them to herself, but we're skeptical of her actually doing so. And Paul has officially put out there that his goal of 2022 is to help 52 people through his coaching business. Help us support him though his social media, Instagram, Linkedin, and Facebook at pmconley34.

What is your food doing for you? Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we discuss all things food! We talk about choosing the right foods to intake, how much you should be intaking, and why you should intake them.
There are many "diets" out there, some are easier than others, but we emphasize the importance of a food lifestyle choice rather than a diet. We talk about sustainability and chances of success.
Leah, of course, goes on a rant about the importance of water intake and its benefits on your food lifestyle.
You won't want to miss Paul's controversial debate on Bacon, and how there is a good chance that "Cancel Culture" will shut us down long before we ever hit 1 million views. lol
And obviously, we discuss the importance of the world's most amazing cookie being part of your diet plan, The Cleveland Cookie Guy Cookies. We would NEVER suggest you skip out on those (Life is too dang short). If you are interested in purchasing a shipment of Cleveland Cookie Guy Cookies, Message him on Instagram at CleCookieGuy

What Would You Do With 3 Months To Live??? Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

What would you do if you were suddenly told you only had 3 months to live? Would you take trips? See friends and family? Continue to go to work? In today's episode we are diving into the greater question of what would you do if you only had three months to live. What are the things you feel you would want to make sure you didn't miss out on before you leave this Earth. And once you figure those things out, how can we help you incorporate them into your everyday now so that you are living your life to it's fullest every day.
As we dive deeper into this tough question we learn what is REALLY actually important to us by having to pick specific things you wanted to do before you die.
In this episode, we celebrate Paul's birthday episode by forcing him to share his goals with us, lol. We learn that Paul has a few very obtainable goals that he intends to follow through with this year. He has put it out there and is asking you all the listeners to hold him accountable by engaging with him about this on the new popcast Facebook Page
https://www.facebook.com/LifeWorkBalancePodcastwithLeahandPaul
Leah tells us of how she chickened out of Sky Diving in the past and that it's still on her bucket. She also tells us of trips and food tours she would want to take in her last 3 months.

Mental Health Awareness: Break the Stigma Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

Mental Health is an issue that affects everyone, and we spend this episode bringing awareness to it and discuss what causes the negative stigma surrounding the subject.
We discuss the difference between having a bad day and having genuine mental health issues. We also discuss the importance of seeking therapy if the problems are something you cannot overcome on your own.
There is a discussion on Simone Biles' courage and bravery to drop out of an Olympic event due to mental health issues. Which stems a conversation of other famous athletes, actors, musicians who have done the same in the past. In particular, we talk how courageous and impressive Lewis Howes, the host for The School Of Greatness Podcast. His continual conversations on how he has sought out professional help with issues he struggles with due to as assault at an early age. He continues to be a guiding light to those in similar situations, and reassures them that they are not alone.
We encourage everyone to talk about their emotions and feelings, no matter how awkward they may feel.
