[EP 40] How To Discover & Own Your Strengths in Your Business
One of the things Josh and I have realized over the past 3 years of running our business together is that sometimes? You gotta know your role.
That means, acknowledging that another person might be better than you at a particular task. And not only that, but realizing it's probably best you step aside and let them do their thang.
And while that might be difficult to admit or recognize, there can be true power in owning your purest strengths and allowing others to step into theirs.
But wtf. How do you do that?
Well in this week's episode we are breaking down 3 easy ways to discover your most powerful strengths and own them so you can become the best, most influential version of you.
Ready to gain some crystal clear clarity into who you are, and how you best serve the people around you? Click that sexy little green play button or download this episode directly from iTunes or Stitcher.

[EP 39] How to Beat Burnout
You know that feeling you get when you can't seem to wake up?
Or you don't WANT to wake up?
Or you don't feel like being social?
Or you can't seem to muster one creative thought...let alone come up with a witty blogpost, podcast, video, or even newsletter?
Or you just want to curl up in a ball, not think about work at all, eat bad-for-you food, and crush an entire season of Sons of Anarchy?
Helllloooooo Jax Teller!
No?
Just me?
Welcome to burnout, my friend.
Nearly every single webpreneur I've ever met has faced it at some point, including us.
In fact, I'm just now finally getting over that feeling.
I mean, after nearly 3 months of non-stop work creating and building Screw U plus balancing social obligations, business obligations, and trying to be a remotely caring wife, it was bound to happen.
And if I'm being honest, I felt it coming from a mile away...and yet I did nothing about it.
Ridiculous.
Now that I'm finally feeling back to normal I can see that me actively ignoring all those signs was one of the most detrimental things I could have done for myself.
Which is why I knew we just had to shoot a podcast on beating burnout.
Because honestly? It can take you down. Hard.
So if you'd rather avoid that and stay on your game, hit play or download this episode directly from iTunes or Stitcher.
