It’s 100% Okay Not To Be Okay w/ Jessica (Ten Percent Happier)
Jessica Goldberg is the Senior Producer at Ten Percent Happier. She produces docu-series on mental wellness and a daily live meditation show called TPH Live.

Jessica has produced stories for mainstream media like ABC News and outsiders like Al Jazeera and Mic covering some of the biggest stories of our generation. In reporting on world affairs she discovered that political problems at the core are actually emotional problems. She knew that the current media landscape wasn’t helping us deal with these emotional problems - especially on a one-on-one basis. So she decided to work on creating content that could help us be more connected and compassionate.

Is There A Real Business Here? - Ben Walters GM At Hopper
How was Ben Walters able to see other options when shutting down his company seemed to be the only path forward? We dive into the mental fitness practices that helped Ben through one of the most challenging times of his life. Ben was born and raised in Toronto and after graduating from McGill ventured into the corporate world trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. After a couple stints in management consulting, he started Feedback App, an app aimed at reducing food waste. He quickly fell in love with start-up everything, and while Feedback App did not work out ideally, the team got acqui-hired by Hopper where they continue to work today. Journaling Prompts: What’s my ideal balance in life? Have I voiced gratitude to others? What’s stopping me from doing this right now? What does luck mean to me? 🙏 If you're enjoying the podcast - please leave a review! 🙏 Thanks as always for listening and have the best day yet!⠀ ++ Special props 👇 Producer & Editor - John Balderston Music: Clouds - Joakim Karud ___ How Prepared is Your Team for the Next Big Disruption?

What Does Enough Look Like? - Caroline & Jason Zook
Today I’m speaking with Jason & Caroline Zook. I can’t beat their bio so here’s who they are in their own words: We’re creative business owners 🤓, best friends 👫, and oh yeah, as of March 2017, we’re also married or whatever 🥂. Since we got together in 2010, we’ve made things in a slew of different ways, both together and apart. Caroline was first employed by Jason’s crazy t-shirt marketing company, getting her first taste of work-from-home-life (AKA: wearing a robe to work). After that we had separate businesses for a few years. Caroline created Made Vibrant, which started off as a client business doing brand design and transitioned into a digital product business. Jason got even weirder by selling his last name, writing a fully-sponsored book, and then selling his future. Now we’ve teamed up again to create Wandering Aimfully, an un-boring coach program that embodies what we hope to bring to the world. We want to encourage more people to create meaningful work they love, earn a good living doing it, and live a life that feels successful on THEIR terms, not the terms laid out by society. Journaling Prompts: Does this align with my values and vision for the future? How can we make this fun? What does enough look like? 🙏If you're enjoying the podcast - please leave a review! 🙏 Thanks as always for listening and have the best day yet!⠀ ++ Special props 👇 Producer & Editor - John Balderston Music: Clouds - Joakim Karud ___ How Prepared is Your Team for the Next Big Disruption?
