    I hope you fail!

    What I have learned from running 5K and programming (that has nothing to do with running or programming)

    What I have learned from running 5K and programming (that has nothing to do with running or programming)

    ....that has nothing to do with running or programming...

    Today I am reflecting and wondering what makes me keep working towards one goal over the other, even if both feel just as important to me. And what I've learned about goal setting and achieving from running and programming.

    Passion vs Consistency

    Passion vs Consistency

    In today's solo episode I think out loud about passion and consistency and whether passion is enough to produce work consistently...(oh that was a mouthful).

    Also, the podcast has reached over 2000 unique listeners...and that's insane! Thank you to each and every single one of you that has ever listened to an episode of this podcast. What started as a little passion project has now turned into something that's not only personal to me anymore. Thank you thank you thank you.

    Be discerning (with guest Zoë Milanovic from the Wayward Witch)

    Be discerning (with guest Zoë Milanovic from the Wayward Witch)

    Friend and fellow woo-woo lover Zoë Milanovic joins me (in person! Pre COVID-19!) to discuss FOMO, the bonds of comparison, and what it means to be authentic while running a business that also needs to make money. 
    For more Zoë and ways to work with her go to: 
    - Instagram
    - Wesbite
    Disclosure: We recorded this way before the COVID-19 outbreak. Hence absolutely no mention of it anywhere. 
    Also, super interesting to hear us mention a social media break as I  am currently on one, and I'm also proud to say I have officially taught the Pokemon inspired improv workshop 😂

    BONUS EPISODE: Alsa loves storytelling

    BONUS EPISODE: Alsa loves storytelling

    Uh Oh...we're glitching again.

    WHAT!? 

    This isn't your regular Friday episode drop. Oh no siree, this is a completely special bonus episode, part of a series of bonus episodes I'm doing with a whole new guest list! Super exciting. 

    Today you get to hang out with Alsa Bruno who actually quite beautifully brings this bonus series full circle as he shares his passion for storytelling. 

    My wish is that these bonus episodes envelop you with some of that positive energy.
