199: Follow Up on Our Heart Goals from Executive Retreat
Today we’re doing a follow-up podcast from Episode 144: Behind the scenes of Our Executive Retreat. In that episode, we recapped and brought you behind the scenes of how we structured our team retreat, how we structure the backend of The Heart University and moving forward how we wanted to manage our team and daily operations within. We recorded that episode immediately after our team retreat in Mexico, talking about everything we did but also what we PLANNED to do moving forward to implement things into The Heart. And at the end of the show, we asked you if you were interested in having us do a follow-up episode to see how we did this year at ACTUALLY implementing everything we set out to do after that retreat. We’re back here at the end of the year in December to tell you how it’s been going. How we’ve done at staying on track with our goals, how we feel we’ve led our team as bosses, and implementing everything we wanted to move forward after our team retreat. We’re baring it all and being 100% honest about how we’ve done in the year 2021. Prepare for a candid conversation showing you our behind-the-scenes of The Heart University.

194: What is Silent Wealth & How to Build It
Earlier this year on Lindsey's stories she talked about the concept of silent wealth, and how Andrew and she wanted to not only work towards diversifying their income to have multiple streams but also to make sure that a good chunk of those streams of income was coming from business avenues that weren’t necessarily attached to her face. If you aren’t familiar with the term “silent wealth”, it’s essentially the concept of having income and investments that are detached from your name, your face, or any other brand you may have. We’re excited to dive into this topic and discuss the how, the why, and the what of building silent wealth. If you’re intrigued by the idea of having multiple income and revenue streams detached from your public image, you’re gonna love this conversation!
