The Heart & Hustle Podcast

If you’ve followed this show or us on Instagram for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed that we don't shy away from sharing our faith. We’re both Christians and believe in Jesus and the Bible. While this podcast and The Heart University isn’t strictly a Christian podcast or company, we definitely don't hide the fact that we believe in God. After receiving enough requests to do an episode on our faith, why we share it, and HOW we go about sharing it in our businesses, we decided to do just that.   If you’re a fellow believer, we hope this episode will inspire and challenge you as well as give you some tangible takeaways on HOW to share your faith without shoving it down people’s throats. If you don’t share the same faith as Evie and I, please don't let that deter you from tuning in to today’s show. You ARE welcome here. We love you. We would love for you to listen even just out of curiosity for why we believe what we believe and share in the way that we do.   Show Notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/040-how-we-integrate-our-faith-into-our-business www.theheartuniversity.com/content www.noissue.co Code: HEART for 10% off your purchase If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity   Podcast inquiries: podcast@theheartuniversity.com

Branden is a storyteller focused on the good in the world. He's the host of the podcast Sounds Good, the creator of the Goodnewspaper, a printed newspaper full of good news, and the founder of an online community with more than 250,000 world changers with his company Good Good Good.    We chatted with Branden about how to make a real difference in the world when such horrible, tragic, and heartbreaking things happen all around us. We talked about the overwhelm that can come with seeing bad news every day and feeling helpless when it comes to knowing how to actually do something that makes a difference. He gives practical actionable steps YOU can do right now to be an influence for GOOD, in your life and business, no matter how many followers you have.    This episode will inspire you and 100% bring a smile to your face. We need MORE people in the world with hearts like Branden’s and in today’s episode he’ll tell YOU where and how you can start.    We interviewed Branden before the coronavirus really hit and affected everything really hard, which is why we don’t talk about it in this conversation. However, our chat with Branden and what he is doing with his company, Good Good Good, could not have come at a better time. Since the interview with Branden, Good Good Good has risen up, done what they do best, and has been leading the charge in putting out good news in the midst of this global pandemic. It has been so incredible to see how Branden and Good Good Good have continued to spread hope, light, and positivity in a world filled with chaos and fear right now. Since recording his interview, Good Good Good has been featured in the New York Times and Miley Cyrus herself had Branden on her Instagram show, Bright Minded. We are so honored to have had him on the show spreading hope and positivity to you. We hope this episode fills you with peace about our world and the good that is truly all around you if you look for it.    Show Notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/039-how-to-be-an-influence-for-good-with-branden-harvey   www.noissue.co Code: HEART for 10% off your purchase HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.theheartuniversity.com/apps   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Click here to sign up for GoodGoodGood Membership:  https://goodgoodgood.subbly.co?r=167452&s=9562   http://www.goodgoodgood.co/   Check him out on Miley Cyrus’s Bright Minded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpmaqkRqmn0&list=PLri1SD7nMWCHPSpnQgiOhJJDKvZ-qECYJ&index=22&t=0s   New York Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/style/good-news-coronavirus.html Follow along: www.instagram.com/brandenharvey www.instagram.com/goodgoodgoodco www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity   Podcast inquiries: podcast@theheartuniversity.com

We’re doing something different today. It’s just me, Lindsey, doing a true solo show! We are diving into some NEVER BEFORE TOLD STORIES!   One of the most common questions we get asked is, “How did you start your business?” So many people ask that and while we’ve shared bits and pieces on other podcast interviews as well as on episode one on this podcast, we wanted to dedicate an episode to tell both of our stories from the very start of when we first picked up a camera. So, pull up a seat, grab some popcorn and a glass of wine, and let’s dive in!    Show Notes:  http://theheartuniversity.com/036-my-story-how-to-create-opportunities-for-yourself-step-by-step   HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.theheartuniversity.com/content www.lindseynoel.weebly.com If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity   Podcast inquiries: podcast@theheartuniversity.com

Today, we are talking to Justine Lackey. Justine is the founder of Good Cents Bookkeeping - an entirely virtual business with a team of 13 with a good majority of her team being other moms.    Today we talk with Justine all about cultivating a work environment that allows freedom and flexibility for your team, how to approach money as a single woman or young mom, and she goes in depth on a topic she calls “Time Freedom” which is a concept she uses heavily within her team as well as her own life. Time Freedom is essentially molding your job around your life and not vice versa. Chatting about that led us to talk more about work/life balance, and even how to find your dream job if you’re currently working a job you HATE.   This episode is packed solid with tangible takeaways for the young mom, new entrepreneur, and seasoned entrepreneur looking to build a team and create a team environment that cultivates quality employee AND client experiences.   Show Notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/035-time-freedom-with-justine-lackey www.theheartuniversity.com/apps HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   www.goodcentsbookkeeping.com   Pop-up Facebook group: The Small Business Financial Dispatch  Follow along: www.instagram.com/goodcentsbookkeeping https://www.facebook.com/itsgoodcents/ www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity   Podcast inquiries: podcast@theheartuniversity.com

Have you ever gone to write the “About Me” section on your website, or write an Instagram caption, and you just draw a blank? There’s a white page with a blinking cursor and your brain is just not working. So, you hop on over to another business owner’s page to see how she does it. Before you know it, you have great ideas for your content!   Well, guess what? That’s most likely plagiarism and that’s illegal. So often it starts out innocent and TRUST US, WE GET IT! We’ve all messed up in this area to one extent or another. But, that doesn’t make it any less illegal or dangerous to you and your business.   Today’s episode gets us a little FIRED UP. This is a touchy topic and we have a LOT to say on this.    We’re covering WHY plagiarism and copying is so detrimental to your business and break it down into practical ways to tell if you’re copying or being inspired by something. If you struggle to tell the line between copying and getting inspiration, listen up!   Show Notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/034-how-to-be-inspired-without-copying   HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.theheartuniversity.com/content   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   www.hustleandflow.net   Follow along: www.instagram.com/hustleandflowofficial www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity   Podcast inquiries: podcast@theheartuniversity.com
