The Nancy Levin Show

In this episode of Your Permission Prescription Podcast, I interview Thatcher Wine. Thatcher is the founder and CEO of Juniper Books, a company based in Boulder, Colorado that specializes in custom curated libraries and beautifully designed book sets. Thatcher has long been an advocate for reading as a form of self-care and a means to build focus in the digital age, concepts that form part of the foundation of his latest book, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better. Today, we talk about Thatcher’s monotasking philosophy, how he overcame multiple personal challenges, and how his new book, The Twelve Monotasks, combines Thatcher’s personal experience with research into neuroscience, productivity, and mindfulness.

Today, let’s talk about change. I know many of us, myself included, sometimes fear change. However, what we're really afraid of is being out of control or feeling uncertain. It is in our nature to evolve. What if we stopped fearing change, stepped out of the cycles of perfectionism and self-sabotage, and learned to embrace change as a natural evolution towards our true self? If you want a different life, if your desire is to grow and return to your true essence, if you want to embrace who you truly are, embrace the uncertainty and the unknown. Let go of what’s holding you back and unlock the vision of the life you truly want to live. In this episode, I’ll break down the concept of change, why it’s best to get started even if you don’t know what to do, and how embracing uncertainty can lead to a more fulfilling life.

If you identify with being a people-pleaser, a peacekeeper, or a conflict-avoider you likely get your sense of worthiness by what you do for, and give to, others. However, today, I invite you to give yourself permission to invest in yourself. Whether you’re already a life coach, or aspire to be one, or if you want to enhance your current career with life coaching skills, you may still be holding yourself back from saying yes to YOU. In this episode,  I’m here to support you in giving to yourself as well.

My sixth book, The Art of Change, comes out next week. The Art of Change is a guided journal and proven roadmap for making the choices and taking the actions to support the vision and change you desire in your life. It’s completely different from anything I’ve ever written, and as a lifelong journaler, it’s been my dream come true to create this journal for you.

I used to see myself as an author and a coach, until Karen Sergeant encouraged me to step into the role of CEO. As a result, I’m no longer a bottleneck in my own business—plus, I have more time to do the most important tasks that only I can do. Karen is full of amazing advice like this. She worked in Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom, then worked in counterterrorism for years after 9/11. Today, she’s a growth strategist and advisory COO who helps businesses grow - and survive the growth spurts that can sometimes feel like  too much for a new business to handle. Tune in to hear her advice on scaling your business sanely and sustainably.

In today’s episode, I talk with Jude Charles. As a documentary producer, he’s produced stories for the likes of Google, Steve Harvey, and dozens of visionary CEOs. He’s also the author of Dramatic Demonstration, where he lays out his roadmap to leveraging compelling stories to grow your business. Together, we talk about how he got started as a business owner, the things he looks for in a compelling story, and how a serious brush with burnout helped him to learn to better cope with the stress of running your own business.
