900. Why It’s OK Not To Reach Your Dreams

Posted on by Nick

Lauren and I are talking about times in our lives when we were really manifesting something and it didn’t turn out the way we imagined it, but we’re so glad it happened that way because there was something even better on the other side. Lauren tells the story of how she landed at Lite Pink and realized that her entrepreneurial dream can happen inside someone else’s (aka mine!). We talk about the importance of creating a safe space for your employees to explore their passions and be honest about their career goals, which is something I learned the hard way. I share more about my journey to getting on fitness magazine covers and the breakthrough that I made about why I wasn’t being chosen by editors. Plus, we talk about optimizing all the little experiences and embracing the setbacks, no matter how challenging they might feel in the moment.

899. The Difference Between “Wanting” And “Deciding”

Posted on by Nick

Our recent trip to Italy is the perfect metaphor for wanting something versus deciding to do something. Chris and I break down the layers of decision that it took for us to actually follow through and take this vacation, plus something really valuable that we learned from our friends about deciding to have a good life. We think it’s important to put markers in your year and create memorable experiences for yourself, even if it’s something local. Listen in to hear our reflections about our time on the Amalfi Coast and how we’re committing to getting outside of our element at least once a week from now on.

898. How To Get What You Want with Julie Solomon

Posted on by Nick

I’m joined by brand expert, educator, podcaster, and now author Julie Solomon. Julie’s book Get What You Want: How to Go From Unseen to Unstoppable is all about stepping into your power and cracking open so you can shine and fulfill your ultimate purpose. Julie and I discuss how to show up authentically online while still respecting your own boundaries, and learning how to share from a scar, not a wound. We’ve both done a lot of work to overcome limiting beliefs that we had about money, and Julie shares a really powerful story about how she worked through the deep shame that she had around her secret debt. Julie is also a pro at pitching and getting what she wants, so I ask her to break down exactly how she’s built that muscle and her advice about where to start.
