The Three Things You MUST Have to Run a Successful Business Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

Passion. Time. Money.

These are the pillars every business leader must juggle.

Neglect one, and suddenly it feels like your business is in the driver's seat, leaving you scrambling in the backseat.

We define these core categories as: the PASSION you hold for your work, the TIME you get away from the grind, and the MONEY you're accumulating on this entrepreneurial journey.

In today’s episode, Albert and I dive into:

The inevitable drain of passion without enough personal downtime.
The trap of doing what you love without a sustainable financial payoff – though tweaking your financial expectations might offer a way out.
The emptiness of chasing money for money's sake.
How to craft a life that isn't at the mercy of every dollar.
The case for time being the ultimate game-changer among the three categories.

How I Found Spirituality After Losing It All Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

Five years ago, I entered a dark night of the soul.

I was facing divorce, infidelity, and a near-bankrupt business - all while pregnant with twins.

Life felt like it was crumbling around me. It was at this point that I thought to myself, “This can’t all be happening without reason.”

That thought kickstarted a deep awakening inside me, and I began exploring something I had not yet focused on in my life: Spirituality and Religion.

This episode is sponsored by Shopify. Shopify is a commerce platform that allows anyone to set up an online store and sell their products. Whether you’re selling online, on social media, or in person, Shopify has you covered on every base. With Shopify you can sell physical and digital products. You can sell services, memberships, ticketed events, rentals and even classes and lessons.

On today’s episode, I share this spiritual journey with Albert, including what I’ve learned so far and what I am still discovering.

We discuss:

The influence of psychedelics on my spiritual awakening
What books and resources I’ve found valuable
How this connection with something bigger has led to a newfound sense of self and confidence in the universe
Why I still don’t prescribe to one “religion”

This is the perfect conversation for those who are interested in peeling back the fabric of reality and entertaining what might be underneath.

I’d love to hear from you! What have you experimented with, what books and writings do you lean on, and what are your stories of spiritual awakening? Drop them in the comments below!

56% of people drop their New Year's resolutions within the first month, and a staggering 91% give up by year's end. If individuals are quick to quit in their personal endeavors, imagine the impact on the energy they bring to work.

Building a 'Yes' Life on Your Terms Dec 18, 2023

Show notes

You don’t have to be rich to build the life of your dreams.

In today’s episode of Mission Daily, Albert shares how he’s built a life that allows him to say “Yes!” to the things he loves.

Many people fall into the trap of believing that the only way they can live their “dream” life is by accumulating more debt, working more hours, or putting their passions and hobbies on hold.

Albert sees it differently. Throughout his life and career, he’s prioritized two key goals: surfing and family. Every decision he’s made - from working as a teacher to buying an older car to working in the tech world - has been to support those goals.

Albert’s story is about taking on life’s opportunities, prioritizing what matters, and building a life based on his values. He will happily say no to the things that don’t matter so he can say ‘heck yes’ to the things that do.

Despite not following traditional paths, Albert shows us how adaptability and positive choices can lead to a fulfilling life.

At the end of this episode, you’ll learn a series of frameworks and techniques to apply this philosophy to your life.
