Why We All Want to Be Liked Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Growing up, we build up layer after layer after layer of protection to keep ourselves safe. Every time we say something weird in class and the other kids laugh at us or we get picked last for a team, every time we put ourselves out there and fall flat on our faces, another layer of scar tissue is added. Eventually our real selves, and everything that makes us worth knowing, are buried.

Here's the paradox: On one hand, it is natural for us to desire connection with others. Having strong relationships can provide support and fulfillment in life. Yet, the desire to be liked can also lead to hiding our true selves and stifling our creativity. It can lead to hiding in different ways.

In this episode, we explore this dual reality and how we can start to tackle it.

Flipping the Negativity Switch: How to Turn That Bad Day Around Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Bad days happen to everyone, but they don't have to stay bad. When we allow small stresses or bad moments to take over our day and consume our thoughts, it can have a negative effect on our mindset. Our brains are hardwired to focus more on the negative, so when we dwell on the small things, they become much bigger in our minds. This causes us to panic and overreact, creating an even worse situation.

In this episode we explore 5 ways for flipping the negativity switch. Not only can these techniques help you feel more energized, they can also improve your relationships with yourself and those around you.

Dan Martell: Are you Chasing Financial Freedom or Happiness? Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

Not enough people are saying this, but we need to stop making decisions based on other people's perceptions and assumptions. When it comes to creating success as an entrepreneur, the risk of following other people's paths to success is that you reach the top of your ladder and realize it's leaning against the wrong wall. You're not living the vision you thought you were going to be living.

The entire topic can feel confusing and a lot of creatives might stall or self-sabotage when they hit the wall. That's why I'm talking to serial entrepreneur, husband, father, and athlete Dan Martell who's lived this, learned from it and coached thousands on it.

Dan is an award-winning entrepreneur, angel investor, thought leader, and highly sought-after coach in the SaaS industry. In under ten years, he's founded, scaled, and successfully exited three tech companies. In 2012 he was named Canada's top angel investor. He's a strong believer in entrepreneurs, creative pursuits, and helping people to create a life of unlimited creation that they don't have to retire from. Dan Martell founded SaaS Academy and grew it to be one of the largest coaching companies in the world. He created the company to help entrepreneurs scale and grow their B2B SaaS beyond what they thought was imaginable (beyond the hurdles he's experienced himself). In today's episode, Dan joins me in a candid discussion about his experience from a small town to Silicon Valley and beyond, finding fulfillment as an entrepreneur, and lessons from his new book Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire. This is his definitive guide to help us get over the common obstacle that stops us from scaling and growing in business.

Show Highlights:

Fulfillment isn't found by doing things the way someone else tells you to
Skipping to the end, doing the thing that gets us there
Being an entrepreneur is about creating a life of creation that we don't have to retire from
The Buyback Formula
he Buyback Lifestyle: The benefits of applying the same concepts we apply in business to how we show up at home, with our partners, and with our kids
