It’s easy to get stuck in the grind and forget how incredible your life and business really are. That’s why Lori and I started using connection rituals that help us see things differently. On a recent date night, we asked each other three questions that turned into one of the most meaningful conversations we’ve had in a long time. In this episode, we share those exact three questions, why they matter, and how they can shift the way you look at your wins, your growth, and even your surprises. Tune in and romanticize your life starting now!   HIGHLIGHTS Why it’s so important to romanticize your life, relationship, and business. The 3 questions we asked each other on date night.

I just walked out of a private tour at Singer Vehicle Design, the crew that turns classic Porsches into seven-figure better-than-new works of art, and it sparked a masterclass in business you can apply today.

If you want your brand talked about the way collectors talk about a Singer, press play and steal the principles.   HIGHLIGHTS Learn what creates high demand and a growing waitlist for your business. The strategy to increase profits by focusing on quality over quantity. One thing that creates premium pricing power. How to protect and grow your reputation as your most valuable asset.
