Lauren Berlingeri is the co-founder and co-CEO of HigherDOSE, a company focused on making biohacking technologies easy and accessible, to improve holistic health. On this episode, she joins Stephanie for a 1-on-1 interview about biohacking–specifically biohacking for women. Lauren explains what biohacking is, shares some experiences she’s had as a “human guinea pig,” and reveals how her passions, experiences, and personal traumas have helped carry her to what she is building today at HigherDOSE. She also shares why women should view becoming a mom as a superpower and why many women should think about their holistic health differently than men. This is a wide-ranging conversation you won’t want to miss!

This week, Steph and Albert tackle a listener question asking why Mission Daily talks so much about parenting when it is primarily a business-oriented podcast. The conversation quickly shifts to how parenting styles can reflect how someone runs a business, especially when it comes to team building. They also talk about how different parenting styles can affect children and their development, with deeper looks into Albert’s tough-love approach compared to Steph’s more tailored ways of meeting her children’s needs. Fret not, business content enthusiasts, it all ties back to the show’s core values, as this discussion re-centers on the importance of investing in yourself, building in-demand skillsets, having a growth mindset, and building relationships.Another episode, another divisive discussion.

Do you have the curse of knowledge? We don’t intend to be “uncreative” but as we lead our lives and grow our businesses, we can fall in the trap of letting our preconceived beliefs limit our thinking.This is why Steph thinks First Principles Thinking is a cornerstone every business leader should adopt to help them solve problems better, faster, and more creatively. At its core, this mindset is about shedding past expectations or experiences and simplifying problems into core truths you can build upon. She and Albert share examples of this, tell us why it works, and explain how you can apply it to your everyday life. CORRECTION: Albert mentions Lorenzo’s Oil and he mistakenly states that the movie is about curing ALS. It is actually about curing ​​adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD).Mentions First Principles Thinking Lorenzo’s Oil ---Questions, suggestions, or thoughts?

For as long as we can recall, the business world has allowed credit rating agencies to have the final say on a company’s worthiness. Even if the system seemed arbitrary at its best (and corrupt at its worst), there was still tremendous value in earning a AAA rating. Likewise, there was tremendous fear of seeing your rating drop to the dreaded “junk” status, especially when it comes to a company’s stock price. In this episode, after a week that saw our company’s own bank struggle mightily, Steph and Albert take a deep dive into the changing world of corporate financing. They discuss how increased access to information may benefit financial influencers, and could spell the end of ratings agencies holding all the cards when it comes to determining company value. It’s a divisive topic, for sure.

Ask and you shall receive! After getting a FLOOD of feedback on our episode, "How to buy back your time (and why you really should)", we decided to talk about it (at least) one more time.Today, we dive deeper into the concepts from the book Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell. Steph shares how to determine your "buyback rate" and why it's something that you should consider budgeting for, even if you’re a million dollars shy of being a millionaire. (Budgeting for this is actually a lot more affordable than you think.) Then, Steph and Albert continue their debate about whether or not it's actually useful to have a virtual assistant, and which use cases make more sense than others. We need to hear your thoughts!

Is the story you tell yourself a limitation? Or is it your liberation?Albert and Steph examine why your perception of your personal history plays a greater role in who you become than the actual events of your past. Or as Albert's mom used to put it:“It does not matter what happens to you; it matters what you do next.”Ultimately, the type of life you will end up living depends on the thoughts you have and the goals you set today. You own your story, it does not own you. And it’s up to you to write (and possibly rewrite) it in a way that sets course for happiness and fulfillment. Confused? Just hit “play.” Because, Steph and Albert share tools, quotes, and thought patterns to help you find that path.Mentions Stories and Heart by Sharon Price John Jake Burton Carpenter Dear Rider Interview with Matt “Mayhem” Biolos, founder of Lost Enterprises ---Questions, suggestions, or thoughts?

Your thoughts become who you are. If you want different outputs, first you must change your inputs. Steph and Albert discuss how to “retrain” your brain by auditing what you are consuming, including tips on how to calibrate your social media feeds for a more positive mindset. No, this doesn’t mean following more highly successful people. In fact, we recommend doing the opposite.They also touch on their tips for making business content go viral, and which industries they think are ripe for innovation. PLUS, an idea for any eager engineer: Create an AI tool that analyzes business ideas and tells you if they have been done before, alongside what you can learn from those past attempts.Mentions: Pace Morby Alex Hormozi Follow Stephanie on TikTok ---Questions, suggestions, or thoughts?

Delegating. Outsourcing. Reprioritizing. To the average person, these terms might give off a sense of passivity and lackluster effort. But in reality, business success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your freedom. Instead, successful entrepreneurs know how to pass along work that doesn’t inspire them, so they can focus on work that does. This week’s episode tackles the question, “Does free time have more impact on professional success than time spent working?” According to Wall Street Journal best-selling author Dan Martell, the answer is a resounding “yes.” According to Albert and Stephanie, there’s way more to this topic than meets the eye.Tune in to hear a spirited discussion about how our hosts view this concept, how they create separation between their work and personal lives, and what things they value most from their own free time. (Spoiler: There may be a middle ground for some people, but Albert and Stephanie are definitely sitting on different sides of this debate.)Links/Mentions: Buy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire by Dan Martell The Wall Street Journal Amazon Prime Wordpress YouTube Fight Club Netflix  ---Questions, suggestions, or thoughts?
