This week I was delighted to welcome my friend of nearly ten years Lauren Gaggioli to the show for a practical and insightful conversation about purpose, parenting, and productivity. Lauren is a dynamic entrepreneur, educator, and a true advocate for purpose-driven living. She excels at leveraging technology to make her mark on the world, but she also finds joy and fulfillment in domestic activities like knitting, gardening, and brewing beer.

In our conversation, we dive deep into the challenges of finding balance and control in our daily lives. Lauren shares her experiences of being productive as a spouse, a parent of young children and as an entrepreneur, highlighting the importance of communication, compromise, and creating a family culture that works for everyone. We also explore Lauren's passion for teaching and helping others realize their dreams while discussing her new duo of online courses.

Big Why Life, the first of Lauren’s courses, is designed to help individuals assess their values, determine their purpose, and take action. A perfect course for high school or college students, it leverages the observations Lauren made while running a tutoring company that offered online ACT and SAT courses, prioritizing completion over perfection and embracing frameworks over strict formulas. In her second course Organic Marketing Ecosystem, Lauren examines business and content strategy, with a focus on search engine optimization (SEO) to help entrepreneurs refine their target audience and convert online strangers into clients.

Join us on this episode as we delve into the intricacies of parenting, entrepreneurship, and finding balance in a rapidly changing world. Discover how you can align your actions with your purpose, improve communication within your family, and cultivate a meaningful life that harmonizes personal pursuits with responsibilities.
