919. 2 Things To Immediately Make Your Life Exciting

Posted on by Nick

There are two main tools that I use to lift myself up and change my mood when I’m feeling overwhelmed. I like to make sure that I have scheduled things to look forward to and that I’m prioritizing time with the community that I really want to invest in long term. Lately for me that looks like getting out onto the water and surfing, and spending time with people who make me feel fulfilled, content, and supported. I share examples of activities that you can do to take your stress levels down and create a sense of community. It’s not always easy, but these are the two things that really help me live a more balanced, present life.

918. How To Choose To Believe There Is Always A Solution

Posted on by Nick

No matter what you’re facing, what your uphill battle is, or what you’re afraid of, we promise that there are always solutions out there一you just haven’t found them yet. Chris and I have been reflecting on all the times that we thought we had hit a dead end, but came up with a bold alternative by changing up our mindset or environment. We can’t guarantee that you’ll like the solution or it’ll be easy, but you’ll unlock power and resilience that you didn’t even know existed  inside of you.

917. How to Expand Your Network With Kelly Kussman

Posted on by Nick

I’m joined by one of my rockstar Lite Pink investors Kelly Kussman to talk about our exciting collab coming out tomorrow! Kelly is the founder of Cayla Gray, a luxury perfume and candle company, and we worked together to create a scent that captures the feel of drinking an icy glass of Rosé in the sparkling summer sun. When I wear Rosé Summer, I’m immediately transported back to when I was on a yacht on the Amalfi Coast, feeling the breeze in my hair, and smelling the salt in the air. 

Kelly and I dive into our collaboration process and talk about how we worked together to create a visceral experience with Rosé Summer. She breaks down the difference between white labeling, private labeling, and starting a product-based business from scratch. She shares her tips for how to build your audience from the ground up and what her vision is for the future of Cayla Gray. To learn more about her company and shop Rosé Summer, check out @caylagrayco and caylagray.com!
