In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I bring a conversation that can be uncomfortable but necessary which is the critical practice of releasing relationships, roles, and beliefs that no longer serve your trajectory towards your big next. I go into the concept of letting go of people and ideas to pave a clear path for exponential growth. Sharing personal stories and experiences, I look at the emotional and strategic aspects of parting ways with team members, advisors, and even loved ones, when their vision no longer aligns with your future endeavors.
Let's take a courageous leap and understand how doing so can lead to a stress-free, focused, and aligned journey towards achieving our highest potential.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership podcast, I want to dig into an often overlooked but essential conversation about busyness and its impact on achieving our big visions as leaders, visionaries, and entrepreneurs. I discuss how the constant need to manage and maintain tasks can actually limit our potential and hinder progress towards our significant goals. Instead, strategic leaders create margins—those intentional white spaces in our days for reflection, strategizing, and creativity.
I'll share how we can incorporate this white space into our calendars, the profound effect it has on our growth, and practical strategies to help break free from the constant busyness trap. Get ready to learn how creating margin isn't just a luxury, but a necessity for unlocking exponential growth and ultimate success!

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive into the topic of burnout among entrepreneurs. I bet you have felt it or thought it before, but its not actually burnout. I challenge the common belief that burnout is simply a result of being too busy or not taking enough self-care. Instead, I propose that burnout often stems from a misalignment between where we focus our energy and our innate gifts and passions.
So if it is not burnout, what is it? Misaligned focus. It is that simple.
I talk about how spending time outside of our "sweet spot" can leave us feeling overwhelmed and drained, no matter how busy we might be. I share some personal stories and encourage you, my listeners, to think about how much of your time is spent playing to your strengths.
Questions to Reflect On:
- What’s on my plate? And why am I doing these things?
- What feels heavy right now?
- How can I delegate, delete, or defer these things off my plate?
Episode Outline:
- Symptoms of Burnout (00:03:12)
- The Root Cause of Burnout (00:09:21)
- Transformation Through Auditing Your Energy Leaks (00:15:20)

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive deep into the world of strategic thinking and leadership mindsets. I share with you five distinct ways that leaders set themselves apart: they're not afraid to take strategic risks, they see setbacks as learning opportunities, they always keep their eyes on potential solutions, they know how to balance their grand visions with the practical realities, and they're unwaveringly committed to their long-term objectives. I'm passionate about encouraging you, as leaders, to put personal growth at the forefront and to cultivate the qualities that resonate with your own vision.
This is actually a really strategic conversation around how leaders think differently to win. And I'm specifically covering the top five ways leaders think differently than most entrepreneurs.

In this podcast episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I'll be sharing three valuable strategies that can help you grow your business and improve your quality of life this year. Use these 3 things as a checkpoint to make sure your time, energy, and resources are used efficiently this year.
As an entrepreneur, it's crucial to focus on finding partners and collaborators who align with your vision and values, rather than just going for the biggest names in the industry. Another important aspect I'll be discussing is mastering your schedule and aligning it with your overall vision and goals. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture. By taking control of your schedule and making sure it reflects your priorities, you can ensure that you're making progress towards your goals.
I'll also be introducing the concept of data-driven decision making. Instead of relying on gut feelings or guesswork, I encourage entrepreneurs to set goals based on actual data and numbers. By measuring and analyzing data, you can make more informed and strategic decisions for your business.
Episode Outline:
- Strategic Partnerships and Relationships (00:01:55)
- Schedule Mastery (00:13:26)

I am joined by the go-to expert in sales, Nikki Rausch, who has also become a dear friend of mine. She has supported me, mentored me and given me so many great ideas and learnings around sales. She comes to the table with over 25 years of experience selling to prestigious organizations, such as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. But she realized her passion and her gift was really in serving entrepreneurs and helping them step into possibility when it comes to scaling and selling.
Together, we unpacked the importance of fostering a conversational and safe environment for sales interactions, with a strong focus on nurturing relationships and truly understanding what our clients need. Nikki opened up about her transition from the corporate sales world to becoming an entrepreneur, highlighting how crucial it is to build rapport and the power of asking the right questions to engage with potential clients effectively. We also discussed tactics for managing high-ticket sales, the finesse involved in pricing without the need to justify, and the fine line of helping buyers make decisions without feeling pressured. Throughout our conversation, we kept coming back to the significance of being authentic and maintaining integrity in sales, which I believe is key to delivering a consistent and positive client experience that not only retains customers but also encourages them to make referrals.
This conversation gets really strategic, really tactical. Nikki shares so many things that you can apply immediately to see growth in your business, changes that will immediately affect sales in your business. But, on top of that, we had some great conversations around leadership, growth and possibility.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive into the controversial topic that many entrepreneurs face: the pressure to keep up a facade of success. I talk about how harmful this "smoke and mirrors" tactic can be for both personal and business growth. Sharing from my own journey with mastermind groups, I make a case for the power of authenticity and vulnerability. I caution you against falling into the trap of the "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Allie Caffrey, the innovative mind behind Operations Agency. We dove into a conversation about how entrepreneurs can truly elevate their businesses by introducing systems that foster growth and success. Allie shared her game-changing strategy, the "90/90 principle," which she describes as dedicating 90 minutes of focused, CEO-level work each day for a continuous stretch of 90 days to make significant headway on important projects.
During our chat, we explored the often-overlooked concept of intentional rest and how taking a step back can actually propel a business forward. Allie opened up about her personal experience with maternity leave, revealing how it served as an unexpected turning point for her business, spurring growth in ways she hadn't anticipated. She offered up some solid, actionable advice for fellow entrepreneurs on how to prepare for maternity leave, ensuring that both their business and their personal needs are met. And you are catching an early announcement to some big news for the Hartke Family!
The conversation with Allie was truly inspiring, and it culminated in a powerful call to action for all entrepreneurs listening. It was a reminder that at the heart of a thriving business is a leader who values and prioritizes their health and happiness just as much as their company's bottom line.

In this episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I am thrilled to dive into something that has been pivotal for me. It is the "be, do, have" principle, a game-changing strategy for reaching your aspirations. I'm going to set it against the more common but less effective "have, do, be" mentality, and I'll explain how real transformation stems from first embracing the identity of the person you aspire to become, instead of passively waiting for external successes to shape you.
I'll also share a personal experience where this principle made a huge difference in my life, and I'm going to challenge you to adopt this new perspective for the next month.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I am sharing 5 ways leaders think differently to win! These things are the key ways that leaders set themselves apart in their thinking: they see strategic risk as a path to innovation, they look at challenges as opportunities instead of setbacks, they concentrate on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems, they strike a balance between their vision and reality, and they craft a strategic roadmap to reach their objectives.
I'm here to encourage all you entrepreneurs out there to embrace these mindsets, because doing so can lead to remarkable improvements in both your professional ventures and personal life. It is crucial to be willing to take risks, learn from your failures, maintain a focus on solutions, and plan with a practical vision in mind. If you want to set yourself apart from other entrepreneurs, these things are going to create massive shifts in your organization.

In this podcast episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I'll be sharing three valuable strategies that can help you grow your business and improve your quality of life this year. Use these 3 things as a checkpoint to make sure your time, energy, and resources are used efficiently this year.
One of the key points I want to emphasize is the importance of strategic partnerships and relationships. As an entrepreneur, it's crucial to focus on finding partners and collaborators who align with your vision and values, rather than just going for the biggest names in the industry. Another important aspect I'll be discussing is mastering your schedule and aligning it with your overall vision and goals. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture. By taking control of your schedule and making sure it reflects your priorities, you can ensure that you're making progress towards your goals.I'll also be introducing the concept of data-driven decision making. Instead of relying on gut feelings or guesswork, I encourage entrepreneurs to set goals based on actual data and numbers. By measuring and analyzing data, you can make more informed and strategic decisions for your business.
If you're interested in diving deeper into these strategies, I invite you to join my free masterclass. It's a great opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and learn how to apply them to your own business.

In this episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I provide a step-by-step process to help overwhelmed entrepreneurs like you regain control and clarity two weeks at a time. I can't stress enough the importance of strategic planning and decision-making over emotional responses. So, here's what I suggest: block out an hour in your schedule to identify and categorize tasks that are causing overwhelm. It's crucial to align your mental load with your calendar.
Now, let's talk about prioritizing. It's essential to focus on tasks that contribute to both your personal and business health. By doing so, you'll be able to make progress in a balanced and sustainable way. And remember, busy periods shouldn't be seen as obstacles, but rather as opportunities for growth.

Welcome to this episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast! I'm your host, Liz Hartke, and today we're diving into the secret of successful leadership. It's a topic that has fascinated me for years, and I'm excited to share my insights with you.One thing I've learned is that being a great leader often means going against our natural tendencies. It's not always easy, but it's necessary for growth and success. We have to be willing to make sacrifices and step outside of our comfort zones.
I want to draw your attention to some incredible leaders who have made a lasting impact. Take Mother Teresa, for example. She dedicated her life to serving others, even when it meant putting her own needs aside. Or Winston Churchill, who led his country through one of its darkest times with unwavering determination. And let's not forget Larry Bird, whose relentless work ethic and dedication to his craft made him one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
What do these three leaders have in common? They all possess a high level of self-awareness and self-reflection. They understand their strengths and weaknesses and use that knowledge to their advantage. They also embrace discomfort and see it as an opportunity for growth.
As leaders, we must constantly challenge ourselves and avoid falling into autopilot. It's easy to get comfortable and stick to what we know, but that won't lead to greatness. Instead, we should leverage our strengths to overcome our weaknesses and push ourselves to new heights.
Episode Outline:
Identifying Areas for Growth (00:01:13)
Leveraging Strengths and Fighting Nature (00:04:19)
Mother Teresa's Internal Struggle (00:11:42)
Winston Churchill's Fight Against Nature (00:19:29)
Larry Bird's Strategic Mindset (00:22:56)

In this episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I come to you before wrapping up my work day to talk to you about 3 things you need to be doing as a CEO to up-level yourself from a business owner that is stuck in the weeds of their business. Because the term “CEO” has now become a cutesy title I am seeing people call themselves when really they are not navigating their business at all and I want to clarify what is actually required to be a true CEO of your business.
These three things are vision casting, relationship building, and making high leverage moves. I am going to get specific with each one of these because as a CEO you are the shepherd of your business. You are there to set the sail, keep your people engaged & involved with helping you get there, and the one that people lean on when navigating through challenges. I share with you the specific ways to take action with these 3 things and the common mistakes entrepreneurs make that prevent them from fully embracing the CEO role.
I challenge you to do these 3 things this week and let it create more growth, time, capacity, & profit in your life and business. You are going to be free from the low value tasks while making high value moves that will allow you to step into the leader that you are called to be and hold that title of CEO with pride.

There are four key things you need to understand and leverage to be a successful leader who's growing their business and playing the long game. Way too many people give in to the immediate gratification culture of society in general, but especially when it comes to business, they focus on the things that can feel good in the moment, that can get them a quick win, that can show evidence that they're “successful” because they have the followers or they aim at the flashy stuff, like a certain number of followers, but a true leader is thinking ahead.
So in this episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I want to break down these four areas you have to be focusing on to build a business that stands the test of time, one that might start slow and steady, but these things combined cause a shift into an exponential trajectory of growth, success, and big time wins with you at the helm of your business.
Episode Outline:
Becoming a Visionary Leader [00:02:00]
Navigating the Cyclical Nature of Business [00:07:10]
Success is Cumulative [00:12:32]

Commitment to Personal Growth & Development [00:20:46]
Prioritizing the Health of the Business [00:25:15]

In the world of entrepreneurship and business development, resilience is a trait that often sets apart those who thrive from those who merely survive.
In this engaging episode, we dive deep into the concept of resilience with Terry Rice, a dad of four, staff writer at Entrepreneur Magazine, and a successful business development consultant. Terry's story is not only inspiring but also deeply moving, as he shares the challenges he's faced, including the heartbreaking loss of his son. Through vulnerability and determination, Terry has developed the resilience needed to navigate both life's hardships and business challenges.
Terry's story serves as a reminder that resilience is not just a trait; it's a skill that can be developed and harnessed to reach unparalleled levels of success. The key is to take action, stay focused on your goals, and celebrate every small win along the way!

I will never forget when this question was posed to me.
I was at a Mastermind event, and there was a speaker helping us to workshop our goals, vision, and more. They asked one of the members of the group, "Can you calculate when enough is enough? Have you determined you're enough?"
Like you, I'm ambitious. I'm hungry for growth. I love evolving and stepping into the next level. But that next level has to be in alignment with who you are, your values, and your vision.
Defining your "enough" and your version of success is a powerful journey. It involves aligning your values, creating a life plan, and charting a course that fulfills you on your terms. Don't let the world define success for you. Discover what truly matters, and pursue it with passion and purpose.
Your "enough" is waiting for you to embrace it!

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a community of successful entrepreneurs. Being able to mentor, advise, and learn from these driven individuals has been an enriching experience.
As I reflect on my own journey, I've often battled with self-doubt and fears of failure. But deep down, I've always known that I'm meant for something more significant. Today, I want to share my personal perspective on a kind of success that deserves recognition—one where I'm not only respected as a leader in my business but also at home by my family.
I hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire others to pursue a similar path and find their own version of success—one that encompasses both professional achievements and a loving, supportive family.

As I embarked on this healing journey, I faced skepticism and doubt, even from within myself. It was here that science met faith, where I had to open myself to the possibility that God's plan was beyond my understanding.
Last week, I shared with you the beginning of my incredible healing journey, a journey that has left me humbled and overwhelmed by the miraculous transformation I've experienced.
After years of suffering and investing over $100,000 in various treatments, I finally found the answer to my health problems – a doctor who bridged the gap between science and faith, bringing me a full, miraculous healing through the power of the Holy Spirit.
I hope that my story inspires you to trust in something greater than yourself, to never give up hope, and to believe in the possibility of miracles. Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey!

As entrepreneurs, we can easily fall into the trap of playing small when we reach a certain level of success. We start to play defense, protecting what we have rather than striving for greater heights. This realization hit me in 2016 during a conversation with a mentor. At the time, I thought I had reached the pinnacle of my career. But, my mentor saw something I didn't.
When it comes to achieving success, there's a big difference between playing small and playing to win. Resting on past achievements isn’t enough! Playing to win means embracing a mindset that extends beyond just one goal or one achievement.
Are you playing small, or are you playing to win?

I am so excited to introduce you to not one, but two amazing women that are incredibly inspiring. When I met Jen and Christina, they were still working their full-time practices in person, hands-on, and really only in a local market. Once I learned about their mission and the work that they were doing, I immediately wanted to know how I could get them in front of a larger audience. Since working through our mastermind, they've closed their in-person practice. They're serving so many more women and helping with so many more transformations, and it's been such a beautiful gift!
Jen and Christina have a combined 36 years of experience helping women jump for joy without peeing their pants to ditch back pain and alleviate so many of the stressful, frustrating, and painful things that women deal with after having kids. Whether you’re a year out from having kids or 50 years out from having kids, the world has told us these things are just normal.
If you are great at what you do, but you're screaming in an empty room like it doesn't matter how good you are at what you do, and your hard work is just not getting you to where you want to be. Then listen in to this episode!

I am sick of all the entrepreneurs and the gurus and the experts out there who are touting this idea of more money. More money for money's sake doesn't mean squat. Because I know way too many, well-meaning entrepreneurs who grew their businesses and scaled their businesses the wrong way. They had plenty of money coming in, but because of the way they structured and built their business, they had more money going out because their business required more team, more salary, and more resources. So they had more money going out than they had going into their bank account.
I don't want you busy for busy's sake. I don't want you making money for money's sake. I want you to be productive for the sake of profitability. You can be productive by sitting down and hammering through that to-do list and checking a million boxes, but does that move the needle?
So, how do we ensure that the things that you're doing, the work that you're putting in, the energy you're putting into your business, the stuff you are focused on drives the business forward?

Today we are wrapping up our series on building your dream team by interviewing my lovely Operations Director Marieanna. We will find out what it is like to work with and support a visionary like me and the importance of us understanding each other so we can work together towards the company’s mission.
Many times, visionaries have a difficult time grasping the fact that they can actually find someone who is invested in their mission and willing to work with them to bring it to fruition.
An integrator doesn’t want to be the face or the visionary, they want to be there as a supporting member of the team, able to assist in building the dream. Whether it's a virtual assistant who's checking off boxes or a higher level strategic partner who is helping set the vision for three to five years, everyone should feel invested in the mission.
So, in order to properly build and lead a team, the visionary must come from a place of leading and helping their team members build. There is a big difference between leading versus managing and if you have a visionary who believes in their team members, they’ll be able to unlock potential that they didn't even know existed.
It's not just about making a hire and hoping that person stays. It's about building a team and being willing to allow them to step into their potential, whether you have 1 person or 10 people on your team. So if you are ready to find out how an integrator can help with building your dream team, listen in!

As a visionary entrepreneur, I have always been driven by the big picture and casting the vision for my business. However, I realized that in order to achieve true success and growth, I needed to have the right team and strategic partnership in place. This is why I am excited to be a part of this mini-series, where we will be discussing the importance of strategic partnership in entrepreneurship.
Today, my lovely Operations Director, Marieanna, will be interviewing me to give a glimpse into the mind of a visionary and the obstacles we face when building and scaling a business. One of the biggest challenges I faced as a visionary was trying to do everything myself, from project management to hiring and handling the day-to-day details. I thought I could be the creator, CEO, and project manager all at once. However, I soon realized that this approach was unsustainable and hindering my business's growth. Even when I hired for these positions, I struggled with turnover and finding the right fit for my team, which caused more stress than growth.
This is where strategic partnership comes in, and I believe it is crucial for entrepreneurs to understand the power of it. In this mini-series, we will be exploring how strategic partnership can help optimize your team and time, and ultimately lead to greater ease and faster growth for your business.

Are you ready to get over a major hurdle?
Many entrepreneurs face the challenge of not knowing how to work together cohesively with their right-hand person, whether they are a contractor, an OBM, an integrator, or even a spouse. This gap prevents them from achieving the wildest dreams that they have for their business. So, today we’re talking about partnership and strategic collaboration between the visionary or the CEO and their right-hand person, who is usually responsible for bringing their ideas to life. You are going to learn how to build your dream team as an entrepreneur.
I want to share my experiences and pull back the curtain on everything we have learned at the Luminary Leadership company, providing valuable insights and tips that can help entrepreneurs see more growth and success in their businesses. So, if you're feeling stuck in your growth, hit a financial plateau, or keep launching without achieving the expected results, it's time to gear up and take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to leverage that partnership in the best possible way.
And just for the sake of just keeping it simple, I'll use the term integrator. What's an integrator? I'm using that term to blanket the person in the business who is the right hand, who is not necessarily the leader in the organization but they're more of that strategic brain; they're behind the scenes versus the visionary who is typically the founder of the business or the creator in the business. Okay, let’s build your dream team!

The fact that you have found success in business doesn't mean you won't struggle at times. In fact, that struggle that you might feel is often evidence of the contrary, it's evidence of the fact that you're on the brink of a breakthrough.
Today I want to talk about something that is so pertinent to every entrepreneur on the face of planet Earth and that is imposter syndrome - specifically imposter syndrome in entrepreneurs who have already found success. Because if you've already found success as an entrepreneur, sometimes you have this added pressure of feeling like you shouldn't feel like an imposter because you've already done the thing. Your ego kicks in and it tries to protect you, leading you down a negative self sabotage and rabbit hole that isn't going to serve you in your growth.
So, if you’re an entrepreneur and a leader who knows that they're made for something beyond where they are today aka if you're ready for another level, but you can't seem to breakthrough, keep listening!

If I had to pick one differentiator that propels entrepreneurs and their businesses forward instead of keeping them stuck in the muck and mire of just what comes with running a business, that would definitely be creating a visionary company culture.
I have studied and watched successful entrepreneurs for years and one of the common things that I've seen across the board is that those who “made it” are the ones who’ve created a culture that is future thinking, instead of one that is reactionary and only dealing with what's right under their nose.
Keep in mind that when I say company, it can mean just you and your spouse or you and your two contractors, or you and a small team of 5 to 10 people and that's okay.
Because a culture starts with you alone.

We had our 4th baby!
For those of you who are wondering if I am officially 11 months pregnant, I'm here to tell you that I'm not - I had the baby. And I've been terrible about telling you about it! So today I want to share the birth story of our fourth child.
It's always pretty vulnerable and a little overwhelming to share a birth story. To me, it's so personal. It is so private, so special and sacred. But at the same time, I love hearing from other moms their experiences, because I feel like that's what I attribute to my own growth and just understanding of what birth can be. Each time I have a baby, I feel so inspired by the process and I feel like I'm kind of born anew with this new baby. I also feel like we've learned so much over the years and the difference between what it was like when I had our firstborn, Jack, to this most recent birth has been like night and day. Both Michael and I have grown so much, we've learned so much about birth and the experience, we felt more empowered and more confident in making decisions that are right for us and our family and our children.
I have been asked a lot of questions like:
What was the birth experience like? Why did you choose a birth center? Tell us about the baby. What’s the name? What’s the gender?
So, I am going to share a BIG time behind the scenes of a birth that I have never experienced before!

Join me in one of the most impactful podcast episodes you’ll ever hear!
Don't tell my mother, but she's currently in competition for my favorite interview of all time. My mom took the cake with her episode…that is until I had Scott Mann on the show.
18 years as a Green Beret, 23 years in the United States Army, a father, a husband, and someone who has fine tuned his leadership skills and is making an impact around the world beyond anything I've ever seen.
Today’s conversation with Scott blew me away. I'll give you a few previews of what you can expect: (1) he had me in tears, (2) he had me laughing, and (3) he made a fundamental impact on how I will lead within the walls of my own home and in my business. Scott teaches us that it all comes down to one thing: Are you relevant?
Listen in to find out if you are relevant to the people you are serving, to the people you are leading, and to the people you are living with. Listen in as Scott is going to teach us the art of influencing so that we can be relevant where it matters most. Get ready to be inspired!

Do you ever feel like it's Groundhog Day?
Do you feel like you are doing the same thing over and over and can’t see past today? One of the most common themes I hear among you, my listeners, is that you feel like you're so in the weeds of today, that it's hard to see how your entrepreneurial vision is actually going to play out. You have vision, but you can't see how those dots connect.
The common thread among entrepreneurs who feel the glory of that wholesome success in both their life's work and in their homes with the people they love, is that they are present in today without feeling stuck in the weeds and they are committed to building a future-focused business.
So, where do you start? How do you unleash your entrepreneurial potential so you can have that successful future-focused business? Well, I’m going to tell you exactly that and hopefully, the end result will be you feeling aligned and hopeful for what's next!

If you are someone who’s been in the business-building mode for a long time, but you are not sure if you’re really setting yourself up for generational wealth and affluence, then this episode is for you!
My guest in today’s episode is financial wizard, Mel Abraham. Mel has bought and sold numerous multi-million dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients. He's worked alongside incredible people like Arianna Huffington, Brendon Burchard and Tony Robbins. He's a certified CPA who became a true financial expert.
After a really scary cancer battle just a few years ago, Mel woke up to the idea of affluence and financial liberation for himself and for his family and that's what he's breathing into us today - this idea of how you can have your business AND you can strengthen your business. But what else is happening outside the walls of your business that is also providing freedom and possibility and cash flow into your world to set you up for wealth, legacy and possibility beyond the “right now?”
Legacy starts right now. Building generational wealth starts now.
Sometimes we think of it as this future thing, this concept that we're working really hard for right now, but we will have some day. This is why today's conversation is really going to wake you up, shake you up and open your mind to the possibility of how you're leading in business, how you're leading your family and what you're leaving behind.
It's not just about money. It's about the moments.

"I feel spread too thin."
This is a common thread that I hear across all my clients, listeners, mastermind members and really just in conversations with my peers and friends.
A lot of entrepreneurs believe that with more time and success comes more peace and freedom. But there are people who have had many years under their belts and massive levels of success who still feel like they're being split in two. Many of them have the consciousness to create schedules that give them the space to be with family or to honor the things that matter, but they still feel pulled in too many directions. So, how do we break free of that feeling?
Today, I'm walking you through what has helped me shift from that feeling of being spread too thin to having more capacity and to feel more intact and more at peace as I navigate a very full life. It is admittedly a work in progress but I have seen a lot of change that's breathing life back into my work and connection back into my relationships and I want to share it with you.
You’ve heard me talk about it many times before but make sure you snag today's free resource because it's ultimately the nucleus of this whole process, you can go to snag it at https://luminaryleadershipco.com/truenorth.

Welcome to one of the most intimate episodes I will ever share on the podcast!
This particular episode is with one of THE most important people in my life. She is the person I credit for so much of who I am today and the one I am becoming. She is the one I turn to about everything from parenthood to marriage to business and everything in between because this episode is with the woman who raised me. Now my mom isn’t just the average mom. If she were willing to share her résumé (which I try to drag out of her in the episode!), you would see that she is also a business mogul who has the most incredible credentials from being on the board and having been president of a bank to being a CPA running her own practice and having been an entrepreneur for over 40 years now. She is brilliant in business.
So today’s episode is really about servant leadership because she epitomizes what it means to be a servant leader and how that naturally magnetizes the right people into your life and into your business. How it yields so much fruit and beauty and joy in the process of becoming a business leader and how it creates a ripple effect that really transcends us, that becomes a piece of our legacy. She talks a lot about the ethics of business and how to really stand a part and not in the ways we are often taught in the industry. Today’s episode will serve you in business beyond probably anything I’ve ever put out here.
I am so excited to introduce you to my mom, to my mogul mom, to the incredible Nadema Gemmell!

What is different about the leaders we watch and admire, who seem to stride with more confidence and everything just seems to flow so effortlessly for them? What is it that they do differently?
Today's conversation is for anyone who feels like they are having to pull people along, whether it's in their own homes or in their businesses. It’s for those of you who want to be an empowered leader who people really want to follow naturally. If you've been leaning on sheer willpower for a while now to get to where you are today, today's your level up.

Have you been wondering where your inspiration went?
Most of us get a start in our businesses feeling so inspired by the possibilities ahead of us. That's why we start in the first place. But we come up on these seasons throughout the years where we wonder where that spirit of possibility went.
Are we just spread too thin and we can't feel it? Was that season when we were inspired before we had the demands of also raising a family? Are we too in the weeds of being in our business that we can’t even feel inspiration because we have so much we have to get done?
In today’s episode, I'm going to walk you through a simple diagnostic checklist with 10 tests to take you from lacking motivation and wondering where that good feeling went in your business to truly inspired leadership that will infiltrate every major category of your life.
We’ve all been there, but the difference maker is what are you going to do about it? What are you doing with this opportunity to become more aware that you are not feeling the same level of inspiration and how can you get it back again?

I'm going to give you a little hint - it is actually not about creating more hours in the day.
I know you feel spread thin, I know you feel hurried, but the way out of it is not working more and it's not getting more things checked off your to-do list. That habit is only going to break you. It's gonna burn you out and it's going to keep you from stepping into the life you want and operating at optimal levels with peace, fulfillment and prosperity.
Today, we're talking about a process that is going to help you become insanely more efficient without doing more work; to produce with prolificacy without spending more time doing it; to be more fulfilled and more present; less burn out and less hurried.
We are leveraging our energy. We are leveraging our time.

This is the one. This is the episode you need. Trust me.
I've had a few interviews that keep competing for my all time favorite and there's no doubt that this one is one of them.
There's a reason why Patrice Washington was named one of the most inspiring voices in personal development (two times!) by Success Magazine, and there is a reason that in her years as America's Money Maven, Patrice became known across many circles as the go-to resource for financial possibility.
In this interview, you get to witness the evolution of someone who didn't just step into what she was good at, but actually embraced who she was called to be, and the countless doors that have opened since stepping into that. She's doing things a little bit differently and it's making a massive impact!
Today's episode took us in directions I didn't anticipate but I am so thankful it did. Patrice and I go over what it means to redefine wealth and chase purpose over money, how to heed God's call even when it's scary and the possibility that can really come from it when you listen to where you're being guided. Walking through heart wrenching hardships, bringing our children into the fray of entrepreneurship and leading them into purpose.
This is one of the most powerful conversations I ever had!

Today's episode is all about stepping into a new season.
What does it look like to consciously choose to craft a new season for your life, for your business? I believe life happens in seasons, but sometimes we get a little passive and allow those seasons to hit us when they may, instead of actually mapping them out and choosing to kick them off. If you've been in a season of rest, maybe it's time to hit the gas or if you've been in a season of constant work maybe it's time to lean into the season of family. If you've been in a season of hustle, perhaps it's your time to elevate into a season of strategy.
In today’s episode, I'm walking you through how I consciously shift from one season into the next, both in my life and my business and how I intentionally grow into leadership, new opportunities and our family's vision.

Are you “running” your business; are you “running” your family? Well no more, because it's time to lead!
This is your year to lead, so no more operating day-to-day or even quarter-to-quarter, no more spinning your wheels or constantly feeling behind, wondering what you need to do to move the dial.
I'm not really into the whole New Year, New You thing because it doesn't really account for all the work that's required to become an elevated version of yourself. But I am behind making a shift from stressed-out-and-spread-thin business owner and parent into the leader you're called to be.
So, today's episode is all about how to shift fully into leadership this year, how to choose to lead and what that looks like. If you are ready to step into your next level, to feel aligned and connected, to know you're in the right place, working towards the right things then this episode’s for you.

It is time for a yearly review.
To me, New Year’s resolutions set an unrealistic expectation that things will be different just because the clock struck midnight, without acknowledging how to make them different. In a way, it's similar to the definition of insanity where we step into a new year with a new resolution, but we didn't change anything about ourselves.
So, today's episode is one that's going to help you shift life on its axis, in the direction you actually feel called to go. You'll be able to see the fruits of your labor, you'll be able to see the change and evolution of yourself and your business by looking backwards to go forward.
We're going to dissect last year and I'm going to teach you specific ways to peel back the layers on observing the last year so that you can actually build the year you want to live, that will take you into the long term vision that you have for your life.
This year, don’t just start planning and getting excited without making sure that you take the time to look at the last one and see how you can improve, tweak and develop in a way that is going to make the necessary turns to guide you towards where you actually want to go. And if you need some help with that, don’t forget to do the True North exercise at https://luminaryleadershipco.com/truenorth/.

As this year is coming to an end I’m sure you’re already looking ahead, setting goals for the next year and talking about all the things you're going to do and accomplish. Today’s episode is meant to encourage you to slow down a little bit. Slow down from that frame of thinking and spend a little bit more time thinking about who you want to be, and how you want to feel in this time that is fleeting. Turn off the “doing” for a second.
Do not get me wrong - I love New year, the new energy and the gift of a new beginning as much as anyone but sometimes this serves as a crutch for people, one that ultimately sets them back. I have a habit of dreaming about what's next and how this year is going to be different, what my goals are going to be and just with the shifting of the calendar, I'm reinvigorated and reinspired. But the purpose of this episode is to help you realize that just setting goals isn't going to get you there, you have to slow down and become who you need to be in this next year in order to achieve your next level.

I've had something placed on my heart as of the last year, that I've been successfully ignoring until now. This has led me down the path of exploring the idea of really shifting gears and leaning into a season of rest, creativity and not being in the weeds.
Anytime I'm encountering a new way of pursuing something I haven't done yet, I reach out to people that I know have gone there before me and figured it out, people who have had the courage to take the steps that I haven't yet taken myself. And that's what brought me to Abbey Kyhl.
Abbey is someone that I completely admire and she is here today to talk about her choice to take a sabbatical from her business and to really take space, and be present in a season of life when her kids really needed her. So today's conversation is truly beautiful. I asked some really pressing questions and Abbey was incredibly vulnerable and willing to share all the little back-end details of what it looks like to listen to your heart and take a step back.

The topic of today’s episode is not our typical topic.
In fact, we've never had anything quite like it on the show. But it's so critical and so necessary to talk about.
Our guest today is Cheryl Kosmerl who is a licensed clinical social worker and has decades of experience working in that field. She has extensive history working with kids and adolescents and their families who have experienced abuse, neglect or trauma. But today's focus is specifically around the dangers that come with technology; things like sexting, pornography, and the fact that our children are being raised in an era where they have this in their back pocket at all times. And it's affecting everything from their brain development to the outcomes of their futures.
Our kids have it harder than we had it but it's up to us to scaffold and shepherd them through these incredibly new and trying times. So, Cheryl's conversation today is very relevant to every parent. And don’t worry, this is not all doom and gloom. The good news is there are things we can do and things we have control over. There are ways that we can have conversations with our kids, we can equip them, we can prepare them, and it's our job to do it. No one else is going to do it for us.

I’m doing something I never thought I would do.
Do you ever feel like you're being hit over the head with something time and again, and you just keep ignoring it because it's not how you planned to attack that particular area of your life? Because it feels too difficult or maybe too unconventional or too crazy?
That's been my life for the last four months. I've been having all these wild signs and messages directly under my nose; so much so that I couldn't ignore it anymore. But it doesn’t mean that it felt natural. It's been kind of an unearthing and painful evolution.
So today, I'm sharing something that I never could have imagined sharing - I am taking a sabbatical. But it's not what you think. I'm not falling off the face of the earth, this is not a vacation. So if you're curious about what this sabbatical is, how I intend to do it and why, or if it sounds either dreamy or absolute lunacy to you - this is the episode for you.

I am absolutely blown away by the response we've received thus far for dedicating an entire month to this idea of technology!
From the standpoint of how we're being targeted and how our kids are being targeted to how to work with tech and not give into the temptation of becoming addicted to our devices - this month is all about helping entrepreneurs be a little less tech dependent and helping entrepreneurial families weave the two and choose a path forward in technology.
For this reason, I knew I had to have Andrea Davis on the show. Andrea is a former secondary ed teacher, turned screen time navigator, and she's the founder of Better Screen Time. She shares family tested ideas from the tech trenches as a mother of five and she's on this mission to help parents worry less about technology and connect more with their children, which is a really challenging thing to do in this day and age. She is just a wealth of knowledge in this space and I’m so excited for this conversation, even though I know it might ruffle some feathers. But I invite you to keep an open mind and to take what you need for you, your family, your business and your life.

Today we're talking about the idea of gratitude and entitlement as well as the role that we personally play as entrepreneurs in our kids stories related to those two specific things.
We are combating entitlement while, at the same time, we want to give our kids the world. There was a time when raising grateful kids might have been a little bit easier, but I think we are up against a bigger fight nowadays. Expectations have changed. Childhood has changed. The family has changed. And the end result? A lot of entitled kids.
So, what are some things we can actively do to combat it? How can we play a pivotal role in our kids' lives as entrepreneurs, as leaders and as parents?

Right now, the average amount of time that kids are spending outside is four to seven minutes.
But the data shows that the amount of time they should be spending outside for their brain development, for their growth, for critical thinking skills, for leadership should be four to seven hours. And the average amount of time that kids today are spending on devices is four to seven hours. We have it completely backwards and if you're an entrepreneur who is raising kids, this is an episode you have to hear.
This is one of my all time favorite interviews on this show. My guest today is a good friend of mine, Ginny Yurich. Ginny is the Founder of 1000 Hours Outside and the entire premise of Ginny's movement, and her company is really propelling kids to get outside and experience all the beauty that nature has to offer and the benefits that it has on their growth and their leadership. In today's conversation, we go over the birth of this movement and how it came to be so organically for Ginny and how the pain in her life as a mother really propelled her into where she was being led. Ginny also gives strategic, tactical steps on how you can do this too and explains the way she brought her kids into the business and the benefits of entrepreneurship for her family. So there's practical wisdom in today's episode, not to mention the fact that she's just a wealth of knowledge around so many different things.
Can’t wait for you to hear this one!

Can you build a successful online business WITHOUT social media?
If this thought ever crossed your mind, you’re going to love today’s conversation. My guest today is Shanna Skidmore, a former Fortune 100 financial advisor who turned into a business consultant helping entrepreneurs dig through the data, optimize the metrics and get a firm grasp on the finances (something most of us don't like to do).
On top of all that, Shanna has also built her incredibly successful business and she's done it off of social media. You read that right, she's built a successful online business off social media. Is that even viable? Is that even an option? Did she sacrifice millions of dollars in doing that? Well, today we're digging into it. We're going to ask her all the questions about how she did it, when she made that transition, what it looks like and how you can do it too.
Let's dive into it!

We’ve already talked about how, as entrepreneurial families, technology might affect our kids a little bit differently than those parents who hold more traditional jobs. When it comes to creating boundaries and limitations around technology for our kids, it’s important that we know what's at stake. And that’s what today’s episode is all about!
Having the information at hand will give you the backbone you need to stay firm. The use of technology is just getting bigger and more prevalent, so it’s critical that you have all the information you need that allows you to have those conversations and make educated decisions as a family.

Do you ever feel like you are just going through the motions and working so hard but you aren’t getting to where you want to be? Or you are getting to those points but you don’t feel satisfied?

Today, we are continuing with our technology series!
Technology is our reality. It is out there. It is boisterous. It is loud. And, it’s something that is so prevalent and so important, especially in the lives of entrepreneurs.
We have to know how to raise babies and raise businesses in a technological era. It's pretty common to just go through life conforming naturally to what comes next. But being informed is different from conforming. And being conscious of how technology targets us and targets our kids, making the decision as business owners to how and when we will use and leverage tech ourselves in our own marketing, and where we're going to draw the line and what's ethical to us is so important.
So today, we're sharing some pretty enlightening (and kinda scary) data and information to help you make more conscientious decisions for your family, for your business, for yourself. How are companies actively targeting you and your children? What is really going on that we're not being told and what to do about it?
Let's dive into it!

How do you raise children alongside technology?
I see so much content out there around technology and our kids. And it’s either total doom and gloom; or it is what it is, just let it be. There's no happy medium, there's no discussion around this.
As entrepreneurs, we need to be intentional about how and when we introduce technology to our kids, the way we talk about it, the way we model it, because the reality is - in some capacity, our businesses do depend on tech and also, our kids are growing up in a tech era. On top of that, my guess is that our kids see us on our devices more than the average kids, because we are running our businesses and our businesses are constantly with us. So, it's kind of inescapable. But this doesn't mean we're helpless.
I'm going to spend the next month talking about a few big topics around this idea to help us be more informed and make an intentional plan that's best for our entrepreneurial families. So, armor up! Because this is not an easy conversation, but it's a necessary one.

How many people do you know right now that just don't feel great?
Sadly, an all too common theme among entrepreneurs especially, but really people across the board, is navigating illness. And when I say illness, I mean the absence of thriving; a lot of the things we face are just symptoms we chalk up to working a lot, or having young kids, or being postpartum, or whatever it is - when oftentimes, it goes deeper than that.
Whether it's a multi-year struggle with intense symptoms and very few answers, like I've been walking through, or a diagnosis that you’re up against and have to battle, too many of us are some version of sick. So, today's episode is both an update as I've learned more about my own struggles recently, and a chance to share my heart with those of you who might be building your dreams alongside some pain.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[2:14] It’s All for a Reason

Today's episode is going to be a powerful one!
I know we all feel called to raise these incredibly confident kids. But at the same time, we want them to have humility, too and have the right perspective on the world. As entrepreneurs, we are naturally pretty confident people otherwise, we wouldn't take the leaps that we do take. We are sure of who we are, we know what we stand for and we are confident in our own ability to do something or to figure out how to do it. But, how do we raise confident people?
Is this a learned skill? Is it modeled? Is it in our DNA? And where does humility come in? How can kids be both/and? Today’s episode is an important conversation around raising humble, confident kids.
Let's raise them up right!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:

Are you trying to keep up with the Joneses?
Today we're talking about a phenomenon I've seen across the board in entrepreneurship that I think is preventing people from achieving their true potential in both business and in life and that is the need to keep up appearances.
This is stripping entrepreneurs from the possibility of the satisfaction that they're craving, so they keep pushing and trying to achieve things without ever actually feeling that fulfillment. It's used to put up whatever façade necessary to look successful, like you have this amazing life or thriving business. When in reality, you're human, like everybody else, and there are ups and downs to the journey. And with the rise of social media, there's this extra pressure and a stigma that comes with running a front-facing business.
Today, we’re talking about why I took a break from joining a mastermind myself and how to break free of the “smoke and mirrors” culture that is creating a lot of curated squares but very shallow businesses and vapid business owners.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[2:54] Why I Took a Break from Masterminds

Entrepreneurial parent, family-first entrepreneur, founder family - these are all the phrases that capture the essence of what matters to you. You're not just an entrepreneur, you're not just a parent, you're this beautiful combination of the two. And we’ve put a little definition together to continue to paint the picture of what that means.
To us, a founder family captures the entrepreneurs who have successfully integrated their family and business into one powerful mission in life together, and it results in fulfillment, freedom and legacy. We're raising luminaries, the people who will go on to inspire and influence others and who are prominent in their sphere. And in many ways, we're raising ourselves up to be luminaries as well.
If this sounds like you or who you aspire to be, today's episode is going to give you a few key shifts to becoming and working towards being that family-first entrepreneur. Because it's all about being a work in progress, the little decisions we make, those small 20 minute increments of our day that lead to the big picture, vision and legacy that we're craving and creating in our minds.

Do you have dinners around the table as a family?
I get it, life is busy. You’re trying to run a successful business, you have your family, your spouse and your kids pulling you in multiple directions - it’s a lot. But I've seen the power of simple intentional conversations and the resulting transformation that happens with the families we work with, whether it's at Camp Luminary, our mastermind members, or our Co(op) community. And I want that for you, too.
Today we are sharing the five conversations every entrepreneur should have with their family to connect, to grow and to dream big. Even if it's one dinner a week, start there. Even if it has to be at 9pm because that's the only time that everybody's home, start there. Even if it's canceling plans on a Friday night to be together, start there. If you're not quite there yet, today we're going to walk through some ways that you can reclaim authority over these categories of your life and have these really powerful conversations that need to happen!
Let's raise them up right!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[2:13] Reclaiming Authority Over Your Time
[5:31] Family Team Culture
[6:58] Family Mission
[9:30] Vision and Possibility
[10:31] Leadership
[11:39] Entrepreneurship

Today we're talking all about those soul sucking moments. Why is it that we get there and how do we get out of it?

We often talk about juggling too many balls and spinning all the plates. And if you've tuned into our most recent three-part series, you know that we're working really hard to help you have the tools and to equip you to beat overwhelm in all categories of your life, once and for all.
But sometimes, when the heaviness or the busyness of doing it all becomes your norm, your family starts to mirror that rhythm. Nothing upsets the creative process or potential for growth than a frazzled family. So today, we're coming at it from the angle of a founder-family, an entrepreneurial family who is called to more but is spread a little too thin, and they can't see their way there. Today is all about giving you some relief and some focus for you, for your kids, for your family.
Let's raise them up right!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[2:17] Frazzled Is a Choice
[7:23] The Essence
[11:14] You Have to Stop
[13:30] The Next Steps
[16:25] Why This Is Important

Today’s episode is the second part of our three part series “From Frazzled to Laser Focused” and it’s all about showing you how to stop living for “someday”, and how to live that “someday” you crave - right now.
Have you convinced yourself that this is just a season? Are you saying things like: “When we finally do X, then we can actually do Y.” or “If we could just get to this point, then we'll be able to [fill in the blank].” Do you feel overwhelmed and overworked, like you’re constantly putting out fires and you’re beginning to realize that it might not be just a season but it might just be your life?
If this sounds like you, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that you can elevate out of the chaos, you can have more peace, more possibility, more flow in your business and in your life. But the bad news is that it won't happen automatically. It won't just happen with time and hard work alone.

Do you feel like you are constantly putting out fires in your business and at home?
Like there's really no space for creation, innovation or possibility seeking, let alone fun and enjoyment? What you really want to do is dream of what's next, create for hours on end without interruption as you give birth to the next genius idea that puts you on the map as a sought after visionary and leader in your space, and then clocking out both physically and mentally after a fulfilling day's work to seamlessly transition into rocking it at home with your family?
Today’s episode kicks off our three-part series that is essentially designed to help take you from a totally frazzled and overwhelmed to a laser-focused entrepreneur who knows, with the utmost confidence and clarity, what you're called to next.
The result of this work over these next few weeks is going to help you become that family-first entrepreneur that you feel called to be, the person who is craving massive success in their business without sacrificing what matters most.

Let's just put it all on the table.
Raising kids and deeply caring about how they are actually raised (not just raising them to survive) while simultaneously growing a business and actually deeply caring about the possibility of success, can feel like a lot!
In these situations, peace can feel like a far off dream, not accessible to you because of the life you've chosen. But I would argue that entrepreneurial life has chosen you, you were designed for this.
So, how do you create that life of calm with and for your kids when you're juggling so much? Do you have to give up the career you love? Do you have to cut back? Do you have to take your foot off the gas? Is there just something broken in you or in your life that leaves you feeling like you're constantly spinning?
Well, we're going to talk about it in today's episode.
Let's raise them up right!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[2:27] Diagnosing the Problem

What would really happen if you got to that next level of success?
About 11 years ago, when I was first becoming an entrepreneur, I remember hearing some people say that they were afraid of success. And I really couldn't resonate with what they were saying. How could you be afraid of success? Success is such a good thing. And I don't think I fully understood what they meant until last year.
Since mentoring many of my peers and high level entrepreneurs, and coming into new opportunities myself, I got a little taste of this hunger for success, but fear of what it would do. What would it do to my time, my most precious resource? What would it do to my family? What would it do to our company as a whole? Would we get so big that it would be tough to manage? I started anticipating what my next level of success could potentially bring and worrying if I can grow something bigger and better without uprooting my values.
So, today we’re digging into the fear of success and how you can build your business without stripping you of your time and your quality of life.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[2:34] The Fear of Success
[10:57] What Is Your Block?

I'm so excited to bring you today’s Raising Luminaries episode because my guess is that what seems like common sense might not be common practice in a lot of families, especially entrepreneurial families that are juggling so much. And I would venture to say that most families are probably not making much time for this. This can be a really powerful new tradition in your family without a huge investment of time.
Today's episode is all about prioritizing family one-on-one time between each of the members. (So, not just you with your kids individually!)

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about the recession and changes in the economy.
What does that have to do with you? Well, you're a business owner, you're an entrepreneur, so it has everything to do with you! Those entrepreneurs that just sit back, don't pay attention and just worry about their own personal economy are the ones that are going to have to survive through these tough periods instead of thriving through it. But, the good news is - you can thrive through it!
To help you do this, today I’m sharing with you a small snippet of the conversation I had with a good friend of mine and my own Sales Maven, Nikki Rausch. Nikki is hosting a virtual symposium called “Recession Proof Your Business”, and you can get a free ticket to attend. Today, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of our conversation around how to recession proof your business, and what are some of the key things you need to be doing as a leader, as an entrepreneur, to get ahead and thrive through this time.
You can get the whole conversation by getting your free ticket to the virtual symposium at https://luminaryleadershipco.com/recessionproof.

Welcome back to Raising Luminaries!
Right now, a lot of you are going through transitions in your family: kids going back to school or you’re kicking off homeschool again; and I felt like it was really important to ground us in this week's episode around the idea of having a mission as a family.
We are entrepreneurs so it's really common for us to create a mission for our business, to know where we're going and why we're going there and what it looks like. But what about for your family? And what could it look like and how could it shift the needle in your life? How could it help you quell some of the chaos if you knew your purpose as a family, and how you were working as a team the same way you work with your business teams?
So, today we're talking all about writing your family mission statement.
Let's raise them up right!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[1:55] What Is A Mission Statement?
[4:40] Having the Right Discussions
[7:14] Core Values

Do you ever feel it's tough for you and your business to be swift in changes or pick up and try new things? You watch other teams or companies test a new product or pitch a new idea like it's always been a part of the plan, but whenever you look at what's ahead, you feel like there's no space for quick new changes, or like you don't have the agility or the ability to do it?
That's what we're talking about today - the permission and the necessity to be agile in your business. As the leader, how do you get buy-in from the people behind you, everyone from your team members to your potential clients? So, let's talk about how things could look with more agility in your business.

Welcome back to our last summer series episode!
As much as today’s episode is geared towards the kids, I'm pretty sure this is one that the parents should tune into too, because we're talking about dealing with pressure and burnout.
Kids get burned out too and parents are not sure how to help them. Today's episode is allowing me to jump in and support you with some ideas on how you can navigate getting burned out or having too much pressure or feeling stressed out. This is something that kids are facing, and we need to give them the tools, the resources and the encouragement to face it head on.
So kids, if you're feeling that pressure, if you're feeling stressed, if you're worried about going back to school and navigating all the things, this episode is for you!

Do you ever feel like you are working for the weekend or living for that vacation? And when you finally get to that vacation you are working so hard to get ahead before you leave and then trying to play catch up when you return that sometimes it just seems easier not to go?
If you've ever had these feelings then today’s episode is for you!
We recently took a five week vacation as a family, and we did it differently than we have in the past. So, today I want to share with you a behind-the-curtain glimpse of how we vacation as entrepreneurs and maybe shift the perspective on what vacations can mean and look like as an entrepreneurial family!

Today's conversation is all around figuring out whose opinion really matters.
So, mom, dad, whoever is listening, you should tune in with your kids on this one because after a decade of mentoring entrepreneurs, I am certain that we all need this as much as they do!
Let's raise them up right!
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[1:32] The World Is Noisy
We live in a really noisy world, don't we? It's not that we're just hit anymore with the opinions of our family or our peers, but we are bombarded all day with the thoughts of everyone.
[4:12] Whose Opinion Matters
You have to take things in and be able to discern whose opinion actually matters. Listen in to hear a few things that can help you do exactly that!

How do you know when it is time to make a change?
As a leader in business, when you know that there is another level for you, but you're avoiding doing the things necessary to get there and you're disillusioning yourself into thinking that it will just happen naturally with time, it's time to make a change. Because nothing changes if nothing changes.
So, today we're talking about the idea of being at max capacity and not possibly understanding how you can pivot, change, evolve, grow but you know there's another level available to you, both in business and personally that you can't seem to get your hands on. In this episode, we will talk through what you might be going through and some ideas of how you can make that change.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
[3:06] Being At Max Capacity
There are only so many hours in the day and you can only raise your rates so high, so there comes a point where you become capped in your earning potential or the possibility of growth within your business
[7:51] Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes
Nothing changes if nothing changes, so you have to make shifts to leverage your gifts through different modalities that will allow you to start to scale and buy back some of your time.
[9:53] The Tricky Part
Sometimes people aren't willing to do what's required to make this happen, because it might lead to a short (or maybe even longer than you expect) season of financial plateau or even intentionally going a little bit backwards to go forward.
[15:53] Map Out Your Future
Self-awareness is one of the key pieces of leadership, which is why that's the bridge to all the things that you want to access and to help you find success and possibility in your life and in your business.

Our summer series continues with an episode for the up-and-coming generation of leaders and today we're talking about the real power of family.
If there is one thing that's super easy to take for granted, it's our family. They're always going to be there, even when we aren't kind or considerate and they love us unconditionally, and are usually a part of our everyday life. It's easy to kind of overlook them, because they're always around.
Today we are digging into why it's so important to see family for what it is: one of the most important things in our lives. No matter your age, your interests or your goals, coming together with family will serve you in your pursuit of all things!

We are back for another summer series episode!
Today’s episode is an important one, because it's the foundation that everything else is built on.
Because if you don't believe that things are possible, if you don't open your mind in a way that allows you to see possibility instead of all the reasons why things aren't going to work out, you're going to continually hit roadblocks.
Fear of failure is normal, it's common. But what do you do with it? How do you approach it? How do you break through it? How do you get to the other side of it? So today, for our kids listening in (and honestly, for all the adults listening in too!), this is geared towards you and helping you expand that mindset to a place where it's going to serve you to help you get to your goals, and to live the life that you're called to live.

Today’s topic might make some of you squirm; not because it's something that makes you uncomfortable, but because it might not sit well with everybody when we dig into it.
For many of us, letting our guard down as leaders and showing our cards can feel really raw. But one of the most powerful skills you can develop as a leader (yes, it is a skill!) is vulnerability. And I don't mean just any kind of vulnerability. Today we're going to talk about what it looks like to have the right kind of vulnerability in leadership, what mistakes might be hurting your growth that you think are actually things that are serving you and your team and your business, and why it is such a tremendous struggle for so many of us.

It's time to let you in behind the scenes on one of the biggest and most successful events that we've ever run in our decade of being in business!
We just came off the heels of Camp Luminary. It was the first of its kind, a camp for entrepreneurial parents and the leaders they're raising to come together and to leave with a common mission and vision. A place for kids to be inspired and to really step into leadership and possibility and for parents to check out of business and to show up for their families!
At the time of this recording, we're a week out from having hosted our very first ever Camp Luminary, and we want to give you a behind the scenes and the 10 massive lessons that we've learned from some amazing kids. So, if you're an entrepreneur these lessons are really going to serve you in helping to lift your kids up in leadership and help you to integrate business and family from these incredible lessons we learned from these amazing kids.

Today's episode is all about becoming an entrepreneur!
This episode is all about having a heart for entrepreneurship and why it can be such a powerful gift for kids of all ages. Entrepreneurship is one of the most underleveraged and underutilized opportunities for people of your generation. Everyone's mind is one-track to college (and there's nothing wrong with college) but entrepreneurship allows you to tap into a level of freedom and possibility that just isn't available on most traditional paths.
So today, we're going to spark that interest. I'm going to help you build and create that hunger for exploring what you're good at. I'm going to talk about different ways that you can earn, different ways you can step into your strengths and how you can enhance and grow in your weaknesses.

Today's episode is a more intimate one, but it's one I've felt really called to share with you. Hopefully, it makes an impact that shifts the way you live forever.
Recently, I flew home to say goodbye to my loved ones, two of them. While death is always sad, it was some of the most clarifying and inspiring time I've experienced in a while. So, today is all about what legacy really means and why oftentimes, we're doing it all wrong.
I'll share a little glimpse into my time at home, why it spoke to me so deeply and I’ll share something that was not shared outside our family but I believe it can make such an impact that I decided to bring it here to all of you.

Another summer series episode to inspire you and your kids!
Being an entrepreneurial family sets you apart from other families. Life is different for us because we see things differently. We see opportunities differently. One of the gifts we can give our kids is the vantage point of viewing the world through a different lens than other people. A lens that looks for possibility and opportunity not for lack and limitation.
Today, we're talking about that from an angle of entrepreneurship for our kids and I'm going to talk through some ways you can start a business of your own. It doesn't matter what your age or what experience you have. The power of starting a business is not just in the money; it's in what you learn, who you become, how you grow and discover what you like or you're good at. Just because you're young it doesn't mean you can't do amazing things!

Our kids summer series continues!
This episode is for all the kids out there who are called to big things. You want to be a leader and you want to figure out what sets you apart from your peers so that you can live the great life you want to live, but you are up against a lot. You have school commitments, sports, extracurriculars, friends, devices, social media…And sometimes (just like the rest of us!) you get in a rut and forget what matters to you, lose that spark in you and you lose sight of what you love and you start to lose your inspiration. Part of growing up is that the world can try and take some of that joy and possibility from you, without you even realizing it.
So, today we're talking about how to get inspired again and how to preserve the best parts of childhood - that wild imagination and those big dreams.

What kind of a brand are you building and what does it say about you?
Today's episode is for people who want to stand the test of time in business, who want to be known for more than just a product they sell or how much money they make; for people who truly want to craft a legacy. There is more to branding than what we see on Pinterest. Logos, color schemes and fonts are the surface level stuff. What about your brand story and your mission and your values as a company? How does that appear in your messaging and in your interactions with your clients and your prospects?
Tiffany Neuman is the creator of the Legacy Brand Method and she works with business owners and entrepreneurs to help them scale and grow their brand into something that makes an impact. She helps you create an actual legacy through your brand and she is here to talk about how you can start to shift your brand from a front facing company, business or personal brand into a legacy brand.

Parents, entrepreneurs, you are great at casting vision. We do this all the time - we are looking into the future, we are planning. But how often do we sit down with our kids and ask them what their vision is?
Today we want to talk to the kids about what it means to cast the vision for their lives. Whether or not you become entrepreneurs is not the point. It's about having eyes on where you're being led, and where you're being guided, and where you want to go next so that you can put together the stepping stones to get you there.

I believe that wisdom in business comes from diversification, from discerning what ways are the best ways to bring in additional income streams into your business so that you're not fully reliant on "all your eggs being in one basket."
That's why today, I'm having Dustin Heiner on the show. Dustin is the founder of Master Passive Income and Successfully Unemployed. In today’s episode, we dive into a lot of the things that come with diversification, building passive income streams and the freedom that comes with that.
As a father of four Dustin also offers great perspective around why this is so critical when it comes to building generational wealth and legacy that we get to pass along to our children.

It is summertime! A lot of us are going on road trips or taking vacations to the beach or doing different things together, as a family. Since all of our episodes are geared towards you, the entrepreneur, we wanted to shift our Raising Luminaries episodes for a couple of weeks and gear them towards your kids. That way, when you're in the car or when you're doing something as a family, you can have this short little clip that is not just directed at you, the parent, but your kids can tune in and gain value from it.
So, in today’s episode we're speaking directly to children of entrepreneurial parents. Because let's face it, sometimes messages they hear from anyone other than us (their parents!) are the ones they actually hear and absorb. It's from that place that we want to create messages for your kids around the ideas of the entrepreneurial spirit and leadership and why it's so necessary to develop these entrepreneurial skills.
And by the way, this is a small taste of what we have created inside our Raising Luminaries Co-op. We will be opening the doors in the fall so if you want to get on the waitlist, go to luminaryleadershipco.com/co-waitlist.

Today’s episode marks a special milestone as our 100th episode!
100 episodes and nearly a full year later, I feel like I've learned some of my most powerful leadership lessons in that timeframe. There have been many times in the last year where I've leaned on my closest family and friends to get through some of my toughest times. It’s been hard, but at the same time, it's been so moving, inspiring and joy-filled because we were exactly where we're meant to be. Sometimes I can't even wrap my head around all the grace and true possibility that's come during this time.
So, to mark this special milestone I've distilled the last 100 episodes into the five most powerful and life-changing leadership lessons that were too good not to share and also not something you’ll hear in the mainstream, because these are not obvious metrics of leadership and growth!

Your sibling relationships are the longest relationships you'll probably ever have. If life goes according to plan, you outlive your parents with your siblings; you know your siblings long before you meet your spouse. So, it's a bond that you have for an entire lifetime. Yet we don't put a lot of attention and energy into it.
When we talk about the idea of creating family teams, and having a mission together as a family, one of the ways that we can do that and strengthen that is through sibling relationships, and putting energy and focus there. So, today's episode is all about that - how can you help your kids bond together as siblings and not take for granted that beautiful relationship and what it can be and how that can ultimately lead to more possibility as a family.

Are you ready to build and lead a team who is aligned with your mission? In today’s episode, I am bringing you two of my favorite people to tell you how they are doing it along with their best tips so you can do it too!
Anna and Ryan are a husband and wife duo, they're members of my Incubator program, and they are masterful in their space. They are the owners of Refuge and Co and they are a photography team. Today they are here to talk about the immense growth that they've seen in the last year and the way they have grown and expanded their team.
They don't just have people working for them; they have people working with them in their mission. Their team is not just checking off task lists, they have people who are rooted in the mission, and part of a culture that they've created that is going out and making a positive ripple effect in the world.
Today's conversation is all about how you grow and lead a team. What does that look like? What are best practices? What are the mistakes to avoid? This conversation is really going to expand your mind to the possibility of adding people who are going to get behind your mission.

Sometimes it feels like everybody's just doing life separately. There's so much going on between work and kids, and everyone's kind of in their own lanes, on autopilot. But what would it look like and, more importantly, what would it feel like if your family made a shift - a shift from being a group of individuals doing life in tandem to actually operating as a team?
This is something that not everybody is conscious of. It's not something that we all focus on or even think of, especially in today's culture, but it is something that we as a family are focusing on really heavily, and I wanted to share the wins that we’re seeing and how we're teaching our kids the power of being a family team. And trust me, it changes the energy and the dynamic in your home. Big time.

Today’s episode is one of those podcast episodes that every single business owner on the face of planet Earth needs to hear!
I am joined by the go-to expert in sales, Nikki Rausch, who has also become a dear friend of mine. She has supported me, mentored me and given me so many great ideas and learnings around sales. She comes to the table with over 25 years of experience selling to prestigious organizations, such as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. But she realized her passion and her gift was really in serving entrepreneurs and helping them step into possibility when it comes to scaling and selling.
Today's conversation gets really strategic, really tactical. Nikki shares so many things that you can apply immediately to see growth in your business, changes that will immediately affect sales in your business. But, on top of that, we had some great conversations around leadership, growth and possibility.

There's a difference between raising kids who do their best, and raising kids that feel the pressure to do their best.
There's a difference, because that intrinsic motivation is coming from two very different places. And as entrepreneurs, we might be a subset of the parenting population that's doing more damage than good in this category (I know because I keep messing this one up personally.) We may be preaching one thing while modeling another.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about how this is affecting our kids who are under more pressure than ever and what we can do to raise hard working kids who give it their all because that's just who they are innately, without feeling like they're drowning under the weight of having to do it all.

Who knew that there are so many parallels between training horses and leadership in business and life?
In today’s episode, I am joined by Joe Misner, a world-renowned wild horse trainer, for an incredibly powerful conversation. When I think of the entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership, there's so much that mirrors how horses operate and how they go against the grain. If you are a leader in business, or if you're looking to become one, you need this conversation. Joe’s curriculum that he uses for training his horses, all of his five C's, are directly applicable to how we lead in business and even how we lead at home.
I am so proud of this conversation because I don’t think I have ever spoken to someone quite as humble and kind as Joe Meisner, a person who is making such a massive impact.

Today we're diving into how to intentionally prepare for summer as an entrepreneurial family. We can get pretty strategic when we're going into a busy season for work, but what does it look like when we're gearing up for a slower season, or a season where our family will be the focus, or when we're intentionally gearing down after a busy season?
We are going into summer, the kids are home, and we're all wondering how we're going to juggle it all. We tend to think that things will just naturally happen, that we will naturally break out of our “hustle” mode. But what if we come into it like we go into a launch or a season of intentional growth in our business, and we planned for it, we strategize around it, we communicated about it, we looked forward to it and we geared up for it? How would that look and feel differently for our kids?

There are plenty of people out there who are seen as thought leaders - those who are in authority in a field or a sphere or on a topic. Thought leadership and wanting to become a thought leader is getting thrown around a lot lately but do thought leaders actually lead? Are they focusing on themselves and their authority or are they helping others and looking at who they’re taking with them? Because to me that is what leadership is all about. It’s about who you are taking with you.
You want to know the health of someone's leadership? Look at the health of their team. You want to know the health of someone's leadership in their family? Look at the health of what's going on in their home. Some of these thought leaders have team members who are not being elevated and kids who aren't singing their praises and spouses who don't see the same magic that is perceived by the masses.
So, today we're going to talk about the fact that, from my vantage point, thought leadership and true leadership are not necessarily synonymous. This is such an important conversation that's going to help you step into thought leadership, something that you're working towards while also leading well in your business and your home.

Today, I want to talk to you about creating whitespace as a family. You've heard me talk about creating whitespace in your business and I've walked you through my week to week strategies to have more whitespace so that you can show up consistently. I’ve also shared a little behind the scenes of my quarterly whitespace retreat where I go into visionary mode. Now it’s time to make sure you have that same intentionality with your family.
It is so easy to pack our schedules as people with businesses and kids. Between work stuff, and the kids’ school and extracurricular stuff, house that needs tending to, friends to see, and family to take care of, you may feel like you don’t have an ounce more to give. Trust me, I get it!
But the same way you might feel at max capacity in your business and the thought of creating some whitespace makes you uncomfortable (because you feel like you are not being productive yet you know it is literally the difference maker in the success that you're seeking!) the same reigns true for your family.
This is not just a season, this is now a habit. This hustle, this hurry is a habit and the only way to have that connection, contentment, vision and thriving that you crave as a family is through the creation of more margin. So today, we're talking about what that looks like, how to undo what might be a little bit broken at this point in terms of habits, and how to bring your family along with you.

The Raising Luminaries Co(op) is finally here!
I’m sure that as an entrepreneurial parent you feel called to your mission to raise leaders and establish a business and a life that you don't want to escape from. You want to do both in harmony with each other, in a way that allows you to step into your next level of success in both of those worlds.
You are called to this movement for a reason. There's a reason that you've been gifted these children. There's a reason you've been gifted this call and this mission in business and it's time for you to honor both in a way that is in integrity with who you’re called to be.
We have created a better way and we've created a community and a home for you to walk this path.
In today’s episode, I share with you 13 reasons why you are called to this movement and the impact that is going to make on your life, on your business and most importantly on the lives of those little leaders that you are raising.
P.S. The doors close on May 17th!

Today, I finally get to fully reveal all the cryptic conversations I've been having with you for months around what we've been working on for nearly a year behind the scenes.
This exciting announcement is something that was placed on my heart quite a few years ago, and I ignored it. Over time, working alongside so many entrepreneurs and witnessing the pain they were feeling by being split in two between their callings in business and in raising their kids in a way that breaks the mold, I knew I couldn’t wait any longer.
Today I get to officially introduce you to the Raising Luminaries Co(op), an uplifting membership home for entrepreneurial parents who want to bridge the gap between their work and their family lives. The Co(op) will provide the resources, the tools, the community and the guidance to raise children who aren't afraid to lead, innovate and think for themselves.
This is something that is going to be so transformative not just for you, but for your kids and your business potential as well.

In today’s episode, we are talking about why cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit in your children is one of the most powerful things you can do.
We got a lot of feedback on the conversation we had in our last episode around the purpose of the school system and how it’s failing our kids. Some people were having a hard time with it, asking: “Do you want us to just go pull our kids out of school and start homeschooling?” That's not the purpose of it at all. The purpose is to bring awareness to reality.
There are so many good things that can come from your kids in school or homeschool, but that's not the point. The point is being aware of where the deficits are so that you can fill in those gaps because you feel that same calling that I feel: to raise your kids in leadership, to equip them to go against the grain and to help them become the person they're called to be.
Today's episode is building on that. There's a lot of work that we as parents have to do to infuse all of this into our kids, because they are not going to get it at school. As entrepreneurs, we have a special opportunity that other people just don't have. We get to leverage our gifts as entrepreneurs to raise our kids in that entrepreneurial spirit and to have them be entrepreneurial minded, so that they can leverage that later in life and have a huge advantage, no matter what path they go on in life.

I think today's episode is going to be one of the most powerful conversations we have on this podcast, and at the same time, it's going to be a really tough pill to swallow for a lot of people. We are talking about why things are happening the way they are in the school systems, why schools are just not cutting it alone, how they are not going to contribute to your kids becoming the leaders they are called to be, and how schools were actually strategically designed to be like corporations during the Industrial Revolution (over 150 freakin years ago!)
You didn't go the conventional route when it came to business, you shouldn't be going a conventional route when it comes to your kid’s education.
Now, I'm not saying pull your kids from school. I'm saying understand and be aware of what's happening so that you can facilitate change in your children's lives and in their growth.
Today, we are going to have a very real, very factually historically based conversation that's going to shake you up and change the trajectory of your future.

Feeling guilty as an entrepreneurial parent?
There's no doubt in your mind that solely being a stay at home parent, it's not the call for you. You love entrepreneurship and the gifts that come with it and the potential that comes from it!
Then why do you feel this crippling friggin guilt when you're working? Why do you feel like you should be with your kids, taking care of the family and leading them? How are you supposed to find the capacity to do both at the level you're called to do them?
If you could just be more productive in your work, so that you can be more fully present when you're with your kids. That's the solution, right? Wrong!
And today's conversation is going to reveal to you a better way to overcome guilt as an entrepreneurial parent that will make you feel like you're doing a great job in both worlds.

Are you comparing yourself to the wrong people? Do you sometimes look around at other business owners who are raising their kids, and you wonder how on earth they're doing it the way that they're doing it? How are they seemingly writing the books, getting the opportunities and making the money all while making healthy lunches that they're sending off with their kids to school or having the downtime with their kids? We all know that comparison is the thief of joy, so in today’s episode we’re going a lot deeper than that. Who and what are you really comparing yourself to? Having a barometer isn't a bad thing, but if it's measuring the wrong metrics, you can get pretty off course relatively quickly, leaving you feeling like you're behind in business or failing your kids.
All that stops today because we're going to have a revealing, powerful, shifting conversation.

Today, we are talking about raising leaders, not just entrepreneurs. We are talking about raising kids who are stepping into who they're called to be, who have the courage to live against the grain and to step into their purpose while having confidence and joy in that process. As a leadership podcast, we're all about outsourcing and delegation and as entrepreneurial parents, we know you have a lot on your plate. We know you’re navigating leading two worlds that are both incredibly demanding and important to you - your business and your family.
You want to do business well and you want to raise your children well, so what can come off your plate and what is yours to keep? What will make all the difference for the leaders you are raising?

Parenthood is hard.
As parents, we're presented with continual and constant challenges and stressors. Parenthood is not for the faint of heart. Simply providing the basics for your kids can feel all encompassing some days, requiring us to give it our all.
As entrepreneurs we have chosen a different path than mainstream society and the fact of the matter is - we have made this choice, not just for ourselves, but also for our families by default. Maybe you didn’t plan it that way. Maybe you thought (like most of us do) that entrepreneurship will be your own little lane that you can work in, and then you’ll have a separate lane as a parent. But the truth is that those two worlds cross because you are the common thread in both, and you are in both all day every day.
If we want to pass the best of this world onto our kids, no matter what direction they choose, we're going to have to do some extra work, because they are not going to get it from society, from the school system, from what they see on social media, and from the garbage content that's being put out and directed at our kids. The good news is that I do not believe that the answer is to just work harder and push harder, I believe that the answer is in the small things, the simple tweaks that we can make and the simple things that we do each and every day that are going to result in empowering our children to discover their own creativity, capacity , influence and power.
Preparing them for the work they will ultimately choose might just be our life's most important work. So, today's episode is all about raising kids in an entrepreneurial family. It is a different path. It's one with so much possibility and so much goodness, but it has its own set of challenges that we have to learn how to face. Today, we're talking all about what it means to raise kids in an entrepreneurial family and how you can make the absolute most of this incredible gift that you're giving them.

If you are someone who’s been in the business-building mode for a long time, but you are not sure if you’re really setting yourself up for legacy, then this episode is for you! My guest in today’s episode is a financial wizard, Mel Abraham. Mel has bought and sold numerous multi-million dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients. He's worked alongside incredible people like Arianna Huffington, Brendon Burchard and Tony Robbins. He's a certified CPA who became a true financial expert.
After a really scary cancer battle just a few years ago, Mel woke up to the idea of affluence and financial liberation for himself and for his family and that's what he's breathing into us today - this idea of how you can have your business and you can strengthen your business, but what's happening outside the walls of your business that is also providing freedom and possibility and cash flow into your world to set you up for strength, legacy and possibility beyond the “ right now?”
Legacy starts right now. Sometimes we think of it as this future thing, this concept that we're working really hard for right now, but we will have some day. This is why today's conversation is really gonna wake you up, shake you up and open your mind to the possibility of how you're leading in business, how you're leading your family and what you're leaving behind.
It's not just about money. It's about the moments.

Do you feel that heavy call in your heart to really pour into your children's growth? Do you want your kids to really find their thing, to connect to their purpose, to become these resilient little leaders who aren't bothered by the things other people think?
You see other kids, face down on their phones or numbing out in front of the TV, and you feel that spark in your gut that says: “I want more for my kids.” You have the vision, but you’re not sure how to follow through.
It is so freaking hard to find the bandwidth to help facilitate that vision and have it come to life. There's so much on your plate. You're an entrepreneur, you’re a parent and you’re a leader. Those are three really big titles that require a lot. Between running your business and keeping up with the demands of the market, not to mention the demands of your home and your health, how and where do you find the time to lead your kids?
This is an episode of hope and possibility. It's one shifting your perspective and taking on the most important call you will ever have in your life - Raising Luminaries.

This is not our traditional episode, but it is one that will serve you immensely.
On today's episode we have Michael Unbroken. Michael is an entrepreneur, a coach, a podcast host, an award-winning speaker, a bestselling author, and an advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Michael’s story is mind-bending but on top of that, the whole purpose of having Michael on today's show was to open you up to the possibility that as a high performer who is pushing for your next level of success, you might need to look deeper, past the surface.
When you're leading and you're in a role of leadership, both in your business and in your family, sometimes you don't feel like you have the space or the luxury to face what's really going on. Maybe it's too painful or it would take too much out of you and you've got nothing left in the tank because you have to give it all to everybody else, so you cannot afford to be anything but “okay”.
I hope that Michael’s story and our conversation will inspire you to see that healing and working through your traumas and focusing on what's underlying that surface, is all part of the process and it will ultimately craft you into the leader you really need to be
In this episode, Michael breaks it down with some tactical strategies and also some real life wisdom and a story that will have you in tears, while simultaneously having your jaw on the floor. He is truly an incredible speaker and someone I'm so proud to bring on this show.
Trust me when I say that this episode will leave a lasting impact on your growth, your potential and how you show up in serving the world.

Wouldn’t it be nice if our kids could rise above all the noise and not be swayed by what everyone else is doing or saying? And instead know who they are and lean into the impact that they're called to make, whatever that might look like for them.
I have that vision for my kids.
But I also live in reality and I know what we're up against. I know they’ll struggle, I know they’ll face the temptations of blending in with the masses or making choices based on what other people are doing. I get that. But the goal is to help them get to a place where they are confident in who they are, know where they're being guided, and they have the tools and the modeling from us to make choices that are going to cause a positive ripple effect instead of being swept up in that current.
So, today's episode is dedicated to helping us as parents and leaders both to model and to instill the necessary tools, values and perspectives, to raise leaders who are influencing their environments more than being influenced by them.
Let’s raise them up right!

What is different about the leaders we watch and admire, who seem to stride with more confidence and everything just seems to flow so effortlessly for them? What is it that they do differently?
Today's conversation is for anyone who feels like they are having to pull people along, whether it's in their own homes or in their businesses. It’s for those of you who want to be an empowered leader who people really want to follow naturally. If you've been leaning on sheer willpower for a while now to get to where you are today, today's your level up.

Do you ever think about the power of the words we use?
Using the proper language when speaking to our kids and helping them cast a vision for their future can be so instrumental as to whether they feel like they have to do something or they're inspired to do something; whether something is an obligation or it’s something they're being called to.
In today’s episode, we're talking about one simple word change you can make as you're continuing to inspire that entrepreneurial spirit in your kids and helping them explore what's next for them in both leadership and profession and possibility.

Have you been wondering where your inspiration went?
Most of us get a start in our businesses feeling so inspired by the possibilities ahead of us. That's why we start in the first place. But we come up on these seasons throughout the years where we wonder where that spirit of possibility went.
Are we just spread too thin and we can't feel it? Was that season when we were inspired before we had the demands of also raising a family? Are we too in the weeds of being in our business that we can’t even feel inspiration because we have so much we have to get done?
In today’s episode, I'm going to walk you through a simple diagnostic checklist with 10 tests to take you from lacking motivation and wondering where that good feeling went in your business to truly inspired leadership that will infiltrate every major category of your life.
We’ve all been there, but the difference maker is what are you going to do about it? What are you doing with this opportunity to become more aware that you are not feeling the same level of inspiration and how can you get it back again?

Today's episode is a story about how I cried my eyes out at my kids swim lesson and why it actually applies to you. I don't know if this happens to you, but God has a tendency to swoop in and humble me, when I need it the most. He reminds me what matters and gives me that gift of perspective. And the thing is, the gift of perspective can be pretty short lived if you don't fully embrace it, but when you do embrace it, when you take it in and weave it into everything you do and the way you see the world, it can change everything. If you're feeling the pressure and the stress of juggling your missions in business and at home, if you're in a season of busy and hurry, if you wonder when you'll finally feel that fulfillment and the contentment of it all, let today’s episode and Amira’s story inspire you in leadership and in parenthood, and what you're going to do with the precious time you have left.

This is the one. This is the episode you need. Trust me.
I've had a few interviews that keep competing for my all time favorite and there's no doubt that this one is one of them.
There's a reason why Patrice Washington was named one of the most inspiring voices in personal development (two times!) by Success Magazine, and there is a reason that in her years as America's Money Maven, Patrice became known across many circles as the go-to resource for financial possibility.
In this interview, you get to witness the evolution of someone who didn't just step into what she was good at, but actually embraced who she was called to be, and the countless doors that have opened since stepping into that. She's doing things a little bit differently and it's making a massive impact!
Today's episode took us in directions I didn't anticipate but I am so thankful it did. Patrice and I go over what it means to redefine wealth and chase purpose over money, how to heed God's call even when it's scary and the possibility that can really come from it when you listen to where you're being guided, walking through heart wrenching hardships, bringing our children into the fray of entrepreneurship and leading them into purpose.
This is one of the most powerful conversations I ever had.

Are entrepreneurs born or made?
Do you ever wonder if some people are just designed with entrepreneurship in their DNA? It seems like they’re just made for it and they would never quit, because it's just a piece of who they are. Or do you question if nurture plays the greatest role in developing the entrepreneurial spirit?
So, let's have a little debate today and leave you with some practical tips to bring into your home to support your entrepreneurial Luminaries and feel confident that you're guiding them and steering them towards where they're actually called to and made for.

Don't tell my mother, but she's currently in competition for my favorite interview of all time. My mom took the cake with her episode…that is until I had Scott Mann on the show.
18 years as a Green Beret, 23 years in the United States Army, a father, a husband, and someone who has fine tuned his leadership skills and is making an impact around the world beyond anything I've ever seen.
Today’s conversation with Scott blew me away. I'll give you a few previews of what you can expect: (1) he had me in tears, (2) he had me laughing, and (3) he made a fundamental impact on how I will lead within the walls of my own home and in my business for the remainder of my life.

As entrepreneurs, we like to study the habits of really successful business owners in order to replicate a process or a system that's worked for someone doing something similar to what we're aspiring to do.
Today, I want to talk about combining the habits of our two most important callings in life - our business and our family. We're shifting out of having to juggle these two worlds and we're stepping into and transforming into what I call a founder family. You're not just an entrepreneur who can compartmentalize your life, having your business on one side and your family on another. It's all about how we integrate family and business.
In today's episode, I'm going to quickly cover some habits, rituals and strategies that I've noticed in studying these types of founder families. Hopefully, you can grab some of the ideas and make them your own as you design what it means to be a part of your entrepreneurial family and the growth that you are having together. I'm sure you've learned by now that you do not want your business success to come at the expense of your family and what matters most - and the only way to ensure that is to integrate these worlds.

I'm gonna give you a little hint - it is actually not about creating more hours in the day.
I know you feel spread thin, I know you feel hurried, but the way out of it is not working more and it's not getting more things checked off your to-do list. That habit is only going to break you. It's gonna burn you out and it's going to keep you from stepping into the life you want and operating at optimal levels with peace, fulfillment and prosperity.
Today, we're talking about a process that is going to help you become insanely more efficient without doing more work; to produce with prolificacy without spending more time doing it; to be more fulfilled and more present; less burn out and less hurried.
We are leveraging our energy. We are leveraging our time.

This is our most asked for topic yet!
As entrepreneurs, we can be well-meaning in our guidance and our little shoves when we see potential in our kids, but we can ultimately do more harm than good in their first experience in the entrepreneurial world, if we're not intentional and understanding of the ways to do it, and the things to avoid.
So, your kid wants to start a business? Let’s talk about how you can help them.
There's just something about that young entrepreneur that's so refreshing and today, I'm going to cover some important clarifying questions to get clear on both your kids intentions, goals and outcomes and help you navigate the conversations.

Do you know what the most common thing I hear my listeners and members of my programs say, as already successful entrepreneurs? I feel split in two. Being ambitious and excited to pursue your dreams in business, but also feeling this pull to your family is such a tough feeling to navigate and definitely one I can resonate with. How can you ever be enough to lead in two separate worlds? You can’t. Does that mean that you can't be an incredibly successful entrepreneur in the same season that you are a present parent, raising incredibly well adjusted and happy children? Well, there's a secret that not a lot of people know and it's something I learned as a young girl witnessing my mom, my dad, my grandparents, aunts and uncles in entrepreneurship. I want to share that secret with you today because it's going to change not just your business, not just your family life, but how you live. It's going to take the pressure off of you and it's going to open up space and possibility that you dream about but think is too far away because of the demand that comes with feeling split in two. So, if you're ready to breathe that sigh of relief and step into a new way of living, let's get to it.

It's such a dreamy idea to check out of work to show up for your family and have these clean lines between the two.
Except that's almost never how it works. You might be advanced enough to do what the gurus teach about having boundaries and blocking time off to be with your family and away from your work, but does your brain always get that memo or is it being pulled in so many different directions putting out a million little fires in the business?
I get it, because I've lived it.
But the most fulfilled and admired leaders have identified the difference across that super blurred line that stands between being physically present and feeling present. And today's episode will help you step across that line.

As entrepreneurs, we have the very best of intentions to figure out how to do it all. From content creation, meeting with the team, checking the tasks off of the to-do list to learning how to use all the new systems and supporting the clients. This doesn’t even take into account the fact that we have a spouse or kids, a home, dinner to cook or laundry to fold, a baseball game to drive to or a parent that might need us. The list never ends. And as a result, the only option seems to be - hurry, rushing from one thing to the next.
What if I were to tell you that that was me a few years ago. And because of this, I started to look at the few leaders I could find who seemed to do it differently. They had this lightheartedness, a clarity that I just lacked; they were able to actually be present and not rushed. They were even experiencing many moments of whitespace and margin in their days and at the same time, they were epically prolific in their work, and incredibly connected and successful in their homes.
So, I set out to see what made all the difference. And today I bring that to you!

After countless conversations with many of you, learning so much from our clients and our peers, and really just experiencing life ourselves, as entrepreneurial parents who are called to those two vocations and missions of truly crushing it in business, while at the same time raising a happy, successful family, we are now officially opening the doors to an event that is quite literally the first of its kind (and we've looked).

What would it feel like to find harmony between your ever demanding work life as you seek to take your business to the next level, and your even more demanding home life as you're looking to raise leaders?
A lot of entrepreneurs, who also have strong roots in their family, are expending so much energy trying to bridge that gap between these two separate worlds - business and family, when maybe that's not the right way to go about it. You're not a leader in two totally different arenas. By choosing both entrepreneurship and family, you are the leader of what we call a founder family.
So today's episode is really dedicated to helping you embrace this new identity, that's going to bring you more purpose and profitability into your business and more peace into your home.
No more feeling like you’re split in two - we're changing the way the game is done!

Lately, we've been talking a lot about finding your child's passion and spark to pursue a life of purpose and significance, and it has really been resonating with you guys. You've been asking for more and we want to bring you more. We want to continue this conversation because it's so important.
So, today’s conversation is all around the idea of helping our kids pursue their passion versus assigning vocation to our kids. It's very on par with what we talked about, and it's building on the conversation from the other day of preserving passion in our kids.

How many times have you found success and growth in your business at the expense of your sanity, your family or your joy in the process? It doesn't have to be that way. Today's episode will actually give you tangible and tactical ways that you can develop and go from a stressed out entrepreneur into a healthy CEO, building this empire of a business without the burnout. Leave the burnout behind, don't wear it as a badge of honor. You don't need it anymore! There's a better way and it involves both strategy and intentionality.

Today's episode might be a kick in the gut and it might ruffle some feathers, but I come in peace.
Today we're talking about how we can really build and cultivate that connection with our kids. It's something that, if I had to guess, is one of the biggest desires on your heart because it is one of the biggest desires on mine too. We start our business with them in mind even if they are not in existence yet, with this vision of having the freedom to be a present parent.
So, let's get down to the core of it. How do we build that connection? No matter what their age is, no matter how many different directions we're going in, no matter how stressful life is or how many different plates we’re spinning, you deserve…they deserve that deep rooted, real connection.
Also, in today's episode you will find a sneak peek on our up-coming in-person event for our fellow entrepreneurial parents who are raising Luminaries of their own!

How often do we, as adults, lose our passion or lose sight of the things that we were once passionate about?
How can you preserve that passion in your children? One of our key jobs as parents is to preserve that passion and not let the world take it.
Today, I'm gonna tell you a story that highlights this about one of my team members and one of her kids and, hopefully you take this and do it with your own children.

I've been so eager for this episode to drop because I know that this conversation with Mike Zeller is going to be one that stays with you for a lifetime!
Gearing up for this particular conversation, God just kept dropping in my lap these hints that you, my wonderful listeners of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, needed to have these conversations around the idea of shifting away from just pursuing what is easy, comfortable and what feels like it will bring success and tapping into who you're called to be and what you're meant to do, things that will bring you those feelings of fulfillment and joy.
During his career, Mike studied under industry masters like Tony Robbins and Russell Brunson, his business has skyrocketed and he's got over 600,000 followers on Instagram. But, none of that even holds a candle to the depth of conversation that we have today around the concept of really discovering the genius within (which is also the name of his book). He has an actual process that he talks about today; a four step process to help you discover your true zone of genius, that category of your work life and your personal life that is going to take you into a state of flow where you feel both productive but also purposeful in what you're doing.
Let’s get to the episode!

At Luminary Leadership, our focus is very heavy on helping you raise leaders as you build your empire and giving you the tools and the resources to do it. The other day, while I was having a meeting with my creative director Caitlyn, we both had a very stark realization that the school system and society are not helping any of us do that. It's not helping us raise leaders. It's not helping us build confidence in our kids.
Caitlyn showed me a picture of her daughter's progress report from grade school and my jaw dropped. It blew me away. I have to share it with you today because it's going to make your jaw drop too when you really think about what the schools are doing to our kids (disclaimer: Not every school, but I'm talking in general)
Today we are highlighting something that sometimes flies under the radar, but it is stripping our kids of possibility, creativity and confidence and it needs to be addressed.
Let's raise them up right!

It is time for a yearly review.
To me, New Year’s resolutions set an unrealistic expectation that things will be different just because the clock struck midnight, without acknowledging how to make them different.
In a way, it's similar to the definition of insanity where we step into a new year with a new resolution, but we didn't change anything about ourselves.
So, today's episode is one that's going to help you shift life on its axis, in the direction you actually feel called to go. You'll be able to see the fruits of your labor, you'll be able to see the change and evolution of yourself and your business by looking backwards to go forward.
We're going to dissect last year and I'm going to teach you specific ways to peel back the layers on observing the last year so that you can actually build the year you want to live, that will take you into the long term vision that you have for your life.
This year, don’t just start planning and getting excited without making sure that you take the time to look at the last one and see how you can improve, tweak and develop in a way that is going to make the necessary turns to guide you towards where you actually want to go. And if you need some help with that, don’t forget to do the True North exercise at https://luminaryleadershipco.com/truenorth/.

We set our vision and goals for this year as adults, as entrepreneurs. But what about our kids?
To close out last year we did an episode around this idea of helping our kids to set goals of their own. But, today we want to give those goals meaning and breathe life into a vision that will really speak to our children.
Goals are just the stepping stones to something greater. They're not the end-all be-all. So, let's talk through how to help our kids rise above a New Year's resolution and step into casting an actual vision for where they feel called to go.

Are you “running” your business; are you “running” your family?
Well no more, because it's time to lead.
This is your year to lead, so no more operating day-to-day or even quarter-to-quarter, no more spinning your wheels or constantly feeling behind, wondering what you need to do to move the dial.
I'm not really into the whole New Year, New You thing because it doesn't really account for all the work that's required to become an elevated version of yourself. But I am behind making a shift from stressed-out-and-spread-thin business owner and parent into the leader you're called to be.
So, today's episode is all about how to shift fully into leadership this year, how to choose to lead and what that looks like. If you are ready to step into your next level, to feel aligned and connected, to know you're in the right place, working towards the right things then this episode’s for you.

‘Tis the season… for goal setting.
This is something that our children can and should be doing at all ages. Goals help us align our actions with our values and bring what's most important to us to life. Don’t get me wrong, I don't think goals are end-all be-all, but they are the stepping stones in pursuit of the vision of possibility of what's next for us.
There's this staggering statistic out there that over 90% of people never actually accomplish the goals they set for themselves. That's uplifting, isn't it? It's likely that most people never learn the skill of goal setting. And I believe this is something that we can teach our kids along with the value and the character trait of grit, to accomplish what they set out to achieve.
Teaching a growth mindset can start young and it can include our children in the goal setting process. It's super actionable, it's something that they can chip away at, work through and start to introduce this concept into their lives.
I encourage you to listen all the way to the end because we are ending this episode, season, and year with some laughter! You will get to hear some behind-the-scenes bloopers from yours truly. So sit back and enjoy some funny (and even cute!) bloopers that happened these past two seasons of the podcast.
And, as always, let's raise them up right!

Where do I go from here?
Entrepreneurship is an evolution, because you are a perpetual evolution and your business should continue to grow and change with you. Many entrepreneurs, at some point in their business, get a desire to pivot or to make some kind of transition because they are being led into something else. This is totally normal, but it can be challenging. So how do you do it?
In today's episode, we are breaking down the “how to” behind pivoting your business.

Teaching our kids to get back up!
This is one of the most important pieces to the Raising Luminaries puzzle. Teaching our kids to keep getting back up, to develop a level of toughness that allows them to forge ahead despite everything life is bound to throw at them, will automatically set them apart from their peers. Because today’s culture does not teach this; toughness is not currently a virtue, resilience is not valued.
In today’s episode of Raising Luminaries, we go over what this looks like, what role we play in it and how can we encourage resilience throughout the years with our children?

Do you ever feel like it's Groundhog Day?
One of the most common themes among you, my listeners, is that you feel like you're so in the weeds of today, that it's hard to see how the vision is actually gonna play out. You have vision, but you can't see how those dots connect.
The common thread among entrepreneurs who feel the glory of that wholesome success in both their life's work and in their homes with the people they love, is that they are present in today without feeling stuck in the weeds and committed to building a future-thinking business.
So, where do you start? What deserves your focus as you go from being constantly on defense and reactionary to offense? Well, I’m going to tell you exactly that in today’s episode and the end result will be you feeling aligned and hopeful for what's next!

Confidence is a critical component of developing in leadership, both for us and for our kids.
As business owners, no matter what level we’re at, we often struggle with imposter syndrome, desperation for worth, security, approval and validation. I think the answer to all those things ultimately boils down to having true confidence that's innate.
So (per usual) my mind goes straight to: how can we set our kids up to struggle less with this concept, because I believe that raising confident children and setting them up well for their future is absolutely possible.
Confidence isn’t something that we're just born with, or that just others struggle with, it’s something that we can learn and develop as we grow.
In today’s episode of Raising Luminaries, I share six secrets that can help you take action on helping your kids.

You are open to doing things differently.
You want more for your children and their future than the average person and you're willing to fight for it. But sometimes it feels so hard to break down what already is; the ways of operating that have already been installed into everyday life within your family.
It's a lot harder to undo things that are conditioned into our kids than it is to teach them something new. It's tough to reverse course, but it's possible and it’s powerful. So, today we're talking about undoing habits and opening the door to new habits that start to change everything.

Today’s conversation has been a long time coming!
Trust me when I tell you that you're going to want to listen in and likely rewind and relisten.
So often we're all striving for the next goal, for the next vision in our lives, for the thing that we most want. But it comes at the sacrifice of us. It comes at the sacrifice of joy, of purpose and meaning. And when we really think about it, what we're all really craving is that significance.
In today’s episode, Tanya Dalton and I have a conversation about exactly that.
You might know Tonya for her previous book Joy Of Missing Out, but today we're talking all about her most recent book On Purpose: The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success.

Do you have a public speaking opportunity on the horizon?
With COVID somewhat weakening (fingers crossed!), summits and conferences are starting to happen in person. If you are able to secure a speaking opportunity, how do you prepare for it? In this episode, I am breaking down my process for how I prep for a speech with confidence and hope it can help you do the same!
I recently went out to Arizona to speak at a leadership conference on the very last day, on a topic that I've become pretty accustomed to speaking on, which is vision. I've spoken in front of over 10,000 people and in rooms as small as 10 people, but this particular talk was the one I'd been dreaming about giving, industry leaders all in one place. Before I took the stage for one of the most elite audiences I've spoken in front of, I started to realize that I had a process I utilized to prepare for my speeches.
Today, I'm sharing what that actual process was. What did I do to write it and practice it, how often did I go through it, what did I do to physically prepare to be on stage, what did I do to emotionally and mentally prepare for this speech? I'm walking you through my personal strategy to deliver a speech with confidence.

How on earth could we expect to raise leaders of our own without talking about Ferris Bueller?!
Today, we're talking about life lessons from Ferris Bueller. Stay with me for a second, I have a point to this crazy concept.
I miss the 80s and 90s. I love the movies that came out of those generations, one of which was one we all watched. So, today we're talking about some of the learnings that might be counterculture that came from the movie Ferris Bueller and why they are amazing teaching points when it comes to raising luminaries.
This might be one movie you're bringing back into your repertoire and reliving the magic of an 80s movie!

Can our gifts become our limitations?
If you're anything like me, you come alive in your work and little by little, you start to see what you were put on Earth to do. And that is a powerful moment in an entrepreneur's life, when they see themselves beyond just a set of learned skills, when they see themselves as a purpose-driven leader with a passion for their calling. But does there ever come a point where it becomes too much? A point where our greatest gifts become limitations for us? I think it does and I think it's a dangerous trap that we can easily fall into.
So, in today’s episode we're talking about the pitfalls to avoid and the patterns that start to show up when you're teetering into that limitation and how to leverage our gifts without building walls that are preventing us from becoming who we’re really called to be, all while feeling good in the process.

I was never much of a reader growing up, until I read a book that changed everything for me.

"I feel spread too thin."
This is a common thread that I hear across all my clients, listeners, mastermind members and really just in conversations with my peers and friends.
A lot of entrepreneurs believe that with more time and success comes more peace and freedom, but there are people who have had many years under their belts and massive levels of success who still feel like they're being split in two, many of whom have the consciousness to create schedules that give them the space to be with family or to honor the things that matter, but they still feel pulled in too many directions. So, how do we break free of that feeling?
Today, I'm walking you through what has helped me shift from that feeling of being spread too thin to having more capacity and to feel more intact and more at peace as I navigate a very full life. It is admittedly a work in progress but I have seen a lot of change that's breathing life back into my work and connection back into my relationships and I want to share it with you.

Today’s topic might sound counterculture.
Right now we live in a world where we are constantly trying to fill every moment of our own time and our kids' time with another activity, something that we can do with them to keep them entertained and happy. So, today's topic might sound like a counterculture idea, because today we're talking about the concept of enabling boredom.
Enabling boredom goes directly in line with the possibility for growth and leadership for our kids and as usual, this is something we should be putting into practice for ourselves; creating that space, that margin in our lives to have nothing that we are accountable to or nothing to entertain us or distract us and to see what comes from that.

Today, we are bridging the gap between the two worlds - Luminary Leadership and Raising Luminaries.
My guest today is Emily Oster, an economics professor at Brown University, and a writer of books on pregnancy and parenting: The Family Firm, Cribsheet and Expecting Better. Our conversation today is all about the power of giving your kids the space to make their own choices as they develop in leadership.
Emily is speaking from both experience and from a place of science backed data. So, today's episode is about raising Luminaries, raising leaders, giving your kids the space to develop and grow based on actual science.

We are living, parenting and raising our businesses and babies in this feel-good culture.
Do what feels good in the moment, self care, self focus, do what's best for you, immediate gratification. These are the things that are being promoted and preached all day, every day on social media. But what if that was the actual recipe to degrade the possibility for the development of true leadership, which ultimately is the determining factor as to whether we tap into our potential and success, both in adults and kids.
Today we're talking about something critical - the idea of honoring sacrifice. Doing what feels best right now, guarantees only that: to feel good for a moment in time, but everything worth holding onto and working towards requires some level of sacrifice. So, how can we model sacrificing the right things to our children and teach them sacrifice comes with huge benefits?

Today's episode is, literally and figuratively, all about stepping into a new season. We have officially wrapped up season one of the Luminary Leadership Podcast and we are kicking off season two right here, right now!
What does it look like to consciously choose to craft a new season for your life, for your business? I believe life happens in seasons, but sometimes we get a little passive and allow those seasons to hit us when they may, instead of actually mapping them out and choosing to kick them off. If you've been in a season of rest, maybe it's time to hit the gas or if you've been in a season of constant work maybe it's time to lean into the season of family. If you've been in a season of hustle, perhaps it's your time to elevate into a season of strategy.
In today’s episode, I'm walking you through how I consciously shift from one season into the next, both in my life and my business and how I intentionally grow into leadership, new opportunities and our family's vision.

Discipline is such a key component of developing leadership. Even as adults, we need our own levels of discipline in order to grow, evolve and stay committed to the path that we're on, but it’s especially important for kids. However, they're not going to self discipline in the early stages. They need boundaries and guidance.
When it comes to raising Luminaries, there are helpful ways to discipline. When we are disciplining our kids, it is really a moment of teaching and learning, or at least that's the hope. So, in today’s episode, we're going to talk about disciplining with purpose in a way that helps our kids to hear us.
Let's raise them up right!

We are living in a completely divided culture, so how do you lead in a divided world?
One of the most common questions that I've been getting lately has been: How am I to navigate my business in such a polarized world? It's a bit of a bummer that we have to have this conversation, but that's just the nature of the world right now. But it excites me too, because I have the joy of leading people with a myriad of different political opinions, personal values, visions for their future, religious beliefs - and although sometimes it can be challenging, there are actual ways that you can show up in congruence with who you are and with truth. You can do it from a place of integrity and leadership, not taking full responsibility for everybody else's emotions and make a positive impact in the world, despite the chaos happening around us.
My hope is that this conversation can encourage you to level up to what's possible in leadership.

As entrepreneurs, we choose this path because we know that it can lead to a different way of life. We're called to do more, we have this idea that we want to breathe life into and monetize. But, do you ever wonder whether your kids will choose this path? Will they choose entrepreneurship too? And why is it that some kids choose the same path as their parents while others tend to run in the opposite direction from the path their parents chose? Like with most things, it comes down to modeling. What was their vantage point on our entrepreneurial experience?
Today, we're talking about how we can best introduce and model entrepreneurship for our kids to see if it lights a spark in them and how we may be inadvertently turning them off to it. What can we do to help light that entrepreneurial spark for them through our own words and our own actions?
I want to remind you guys that we have a free workbook that is so instrumental in identifying those sparks in your kids and cultivating that little entrepreneur in them. So, make sure you go to https://luminaryleadershipco.com/raising-luminaries-spark/ to get a copy of the workbook so that you can help your kids identify their spark.

Trust me when I tell you that this episode is going to be one of your all time favorite episodes! Today we have the John Lee Dumas on the show. You probably know him as the host of one of the top podcasts of all time, Entrepreneurs on Fire. John turned his podcast into a media empire that generates over 1 MILLION dollars in revenue each MONTH. He has produced 3,000+ episodes with over 100 million listens! These stats are insane.
So yeah, he has blazed a path in entrepreneurship and podcasting. You don’t want to miss this episode!
John’s first traditionally published book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success, gives the roadmap to financial freedom and fulfillment. He breaks many of those pillars down in this episode, and it is exactly how he built his own business from the ground up. It is truly going to blow your mind!
Without further ado, the myth, the man, the legend himself, John Lee Dumas!

As parents, there's nothing that we want more than to see our kids thriving, to see what makes their eyes light up, what makes their heart beat faster, what are they drawn to.
Sometimes it's really hard to identify those things, and society tells us if those things that they feel really connected to are not aligned with conventional ways in which kids are supposed to operate, then those kids are weird and we have to get them more focused on math, reading, sports.
In today's episode, hopefully, I’m reminding you of all the reasons why that's not true and that it's our job as parents to cultivate that in them, to identify that spark in them, to fuel those flames and to do it in a way where you're leading them and guiding them towards wherever they're called to go. Today, I want to walk you through six ways to really notice that spark in your child and how to cultivate it.
Now, there's a process we have called The Raising Luminary Spark. It is an exercise, and a workbook that you can walk through yourself and with your children to really figure out what are those things that light your kids up. It could be things that you're totally overlooking, so head over to luminaryleadershipco.com/raising-luminaries-spark to grab it. The workbook is really comprehensive and it's something that you can use over and over with each of your kids and you can even do it with yourself if you're feeling a little lost or like you need some clarity in your own life.

Are you a dreamer and visionary but your spouse is a realist and more detail-oriented? Or vice versa, you are the detail-oriented and task driven one while your spouse is dreaming big? Well, this episode is for you if you want to learn how you can get on the same page and work together!
I tend to attract a lot of dreamers, visionaries and thought leaders to my show and my content. So, if you are the creative engine of your business, but have either a spouse or significant other that doesn’t necessarily operate the same way, today’s episode is all about how to get on the same page as your person as you dream big and they tend to lean into their realism, their details, their pro/con lists that kind of suck the joy out of the experience of dreaming big. This can be a dividing point in a marriage.
But because we know the power of people working together and really leveraging each other’s strengths, I am going to help you. This is something my husband and I had to do and have to continually do because I'm the dreamer and he's the details guy.
So listen in to find out how you can work together to achieve your goals and dreams!

As parents, we all want what is best for our kids. . . And sometimes, with the best of intentions, we can try to control their sweet little lives in the spirit of wanting the whole world and more for them. Sometimes, we want to hand them everything on a silver platter because we just want them to be happy, fulfilled and healthy. And I think parents who also run businesses can maybe (just maybe) be even a bit more guilty of this.
There's so much pressure on kids today: getting great grades across the board, being in high-level sports and making varsity, dealing with bullying, the digital world, and all these different things that they're facing can turn us into well-intentioned micromanagers for our kids.
In today’s episode I want to present an idea that's going to flip the script and hopefully free you of this pressure that we put on ourselves - because controlling and dictating our children's path is not only not helping them, but it's actually robbing them of the lessons through failures and mistakes, that they need to shape them into who they're actually called to be.
So, let's raise them up right!

The more I do this show and realize the people that I can call friends and mentors, the more I recognize how blessed I have been along the way and how critical it is to surround yourself with truly great people. Not just great in what they do, but in how they do it and the people they are.

Together with his co-founder, Trent Sanders, and their team, he is serving big and small name businesses alike. They are sought-after experts in the marketing arena, but what sets them apart in my eyes is their genuine care for people and you're going to get a taste of that firsthand in our interview today.

In today’s episode, we are talking about the incredible power of teaching through story.
Now, you might not think this is relevant to raising leaders, but it's incredibly critical in the process of imparting the wisdom that we want our kids to take into their own lives as they step into leadership.
And there's no better way to do it than through story.
So, if you feel like you're banging your head against the wall sometimes, trying to get your kids to understand values or understand the things that you want them to embody and take on, let's talk about why you might want to shift gears a little bit and lean on story.

Discernment is a key discipline in both leadership and successful entrepreneurship and it requires your next level of wisdom. I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the most important things for you to learn how to discern, as both an entrepreneur and just a person living in our modern world: how do you know what’s a good opportunity vs. a “shiny” opportunity?
Everyone loves a good opportunity! But part of really elevating into your next level means discerning which opportunities are the right ones. Sometimes, they’re such great opportunities it would seem crazy to say no. Other times, it’s tough to decipher whether it’s something that would be a launching pad or ultimately an anchor.
So today I’m talking to you about how to discern which opportunities are for you and which ones are not. Let’s tap into it!

Today’s episode is going to be a little different from our typical Raising Luminaries, but possibly one of the most important ones when it comes to raising up leaders and bringing up children who are going to step into their purpose and their calling in life.
This particular moment in history is one of the most trying, challenging, heart-wrenching divided times that we've ever had to walk through. As an entrepreneurial parent, someone who is carving their way as they're raising a family, it seems even more heart-wrenching.
So, today's episode is a perspective shift for anyone who is feeling the burden and the heaviness of this particular moment in time and needs a reminder to why this is not a coincidence, why are we are not here by chance and why we have to shift our focus from the fear of raising our kids at this moment in time to seeing that there's a plan at play.
So I think this will ease some worry and breathe new life in your journey of raising leaders and Luminaries.

Let me know what you think of this episode by connecting with me on Instagram! Did this help change your perspective?
Would you believe me if I told you that I have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into masterminds for myself, over the last several years, and it's been so worth it?
Every single time I participate in one, there's a return on investment and that's money I've seen come back tenfold over the years. I sat for years at the same financial plateau, feeling like I was stuck in the same patterns. I finally traded in good for great the year I experienced my very first mastermind: I over doubled my profit that year, I gained countless relationships that have opened many new doors for years to come and I challenged myself to grow in ways that I never really thought possible.
After having been in many masterminds over several years and gaining knowledge from many of them, I also witnessed a lot of the shortcomings of how they were being run, how the spaces were created and nurtured and what improvements would literally make all the difference.
So, in today’s episode we're getting into how masterminds are being done wrong, what ways they could massively improve with some tweaks, what to look out for if you're on the hunt for one, and why it could be that tipping point for you going forward in your business.
And I’m sharing a lot about how we're doing it differently!

Leadership is a team sport and we are committed to raising Luminaries who recognize and embody that.
We want to look at leadership development for kids in our lives from all angles that will move the dial in their development and growth.
Today, specifically, we are focusing on the power of teamwork and how to best teach teamwork to our little and big Luminaries. This is an important skill for so many areas in life and it’s integral to leadership development.
So, how can we level up our teamwork skills and teach it to our kids in a way that’s going to serve them in adulthood?

Find incredible friends who lift you up and push you to be better, and hold you accountable to the person that you want to be and the person you're called to be.
I've found that in my good friend, and today’s guest, Anthony Trucks. Anthony is a former NFL football player, a competitor on American Ninja Warrior, an author, a life coach and an entrepreneur. He is also a former foster child, and today you will hear how that has shaped his life and how he, although not responsible for the cards he was dealt, had to choose how he wanted to play them.
So, how did someone like Anthony, someone who went through literal hell in foster care, went from feeling like he was getting passed around and not feeling the natural love from a family to having a family of his own that he loves madly, that he is raising in leadership and doing incredible things, both with his kids and the people that he's making an impact on through his business? How did he go from one to the other? And how does it come so naturally to him, or at least seemingly?
Anthony is all about taking ownership, taking back control of your life and to quote him: “making shift happen”.
Trust me, you will want to take some notes on today's episode and possibly listen to it more than once.

If you would have told me a few years ago that my husband and I would be homeschooling our children, I would have laughed until the water came out of my nose.
But, like with most aspects of parenting, comes the curveball that shows you that all of your best laid plans are irrelevant to the way life is going to ultimately play out for you. There is this wave of parents choosing to prioritize their kids' education in their homes and a lot of us are entrepreneurs.
Today's episode is all about why considering homeschool could be something worth your while. Although nothing about this show is to tell you how to raise your kids, this is just to get some gears turning on this topic.
Let me know if this is something that you would like to hear more about in the future!

How do we cultivate independence in our kids? There's such a fine line between encouraging our kids to be more independent and feeling like we're “checked out parents”. We want them to evolve and grow into these resourceful, confident little leaders, and ultimately resourceful and confident adults - but we still need to serve as bumper rails, as they continue to develop through the process.
In today’s episode, we're talking about cultivating independence in our Luminaries while learning to let go of control and fear that a lot of us feel in that process. I think you're going to find this particular episode hits home and gives you some simple ways to pull back a little bit and let them lead, even from a young age.

This is the most important interview that I will ever do!
I’ve never been more honored to sit across from someone in an interview and I’ve never had a more full circle moment of gratitude than I had in conducting this conversation. Today I got to interview my mama, Nadema Gemmell.
Before you think that this is some random interview, let me paint a picture for you of the business mogul that my mother is - she's a CPA and owner of a tax and consulting practice, she's Chairman of the Board of the Salem Cooperative Bank; during her 43 years in business, she served as a board member for The New Hampshire Center for Nonprofits as well as the President of the New Hampshire Society of CPAs.
So, this is the perfect episode for all entrepreneurs on business ethics, integrity, humility and generosity. This is the wisdom episode!

If you are here today, you care about raising Luminaries, whether big or small.So, what is one of the necessary components of successful leadership? What is that one necessary component to finding wholesome success where you are not just making money, but finding fulfillment, joy and impact?
It’s courage and today we’re going to talk about how to help our kids develop that courage muscle. And guess what? It starts with us!

Making money versus building wealth, what is the difference?
Well, we brought in an expert for this one! My guest today is one of my closest friends, and my financial advisor, Erik Potts. With over 19 years in the Financial Planning Industry, Erik is here today to help you understand the power of shifting into the mindset of building wealth versus just making money. Because let's be honest, most of you listening have the numbers, you are making the money, but what are you doing with it?
Listen in to hear about how you can create a plan, not one that's going to freak you out, but one that will empower you to create the life you want now - and in the future.

Perspective is everything in life.
It is the reason why people can live in extreme poverty, illness or tragedy, with a smile on their face and joy in their heart. It is also the reason why people who seem to have it all can feel like their world is crumbling when somebody messes up their order. It is all relative, but we can play a pretty significant role in modeling the power of having a positive perspective for our kids.
Today, we are talking about simple questions and conversations that we can bring to the table to help shape the lens through which our kids view the world in a way that’s going to add joy and resilience to the journey.

Starting a business is always a rollercoaster.
Although we are not new to business and this new company launch has been an evolution from my start-up about a decade ago, we just launched a brand new company!
So, today I am sharing with you some “behind-the-scenes” moments that were part of our launch, as well as the mistake that put us on the map.

From a young age, the words we say directly impact our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions and can ultimately affect the lens through which we see the world. In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about something that’s been a work in progress in our home and that is - how words matter.
I want to share with you specific phrases that are heavily discouraged in our home, why we discourage them, in what ways we redirect our kids to say something else instead, and the meaning behind it.

Today’s episode is all about setting the stage for the work that we’re doing at the Luminary Leadership Company and what we are intending to do with each and every one of you who are listening in.
We exist to change how things are being done, more specifically, in the world of entrepreneurship, small businesses and the way we raise our children. We don't want to just help you build an empire, we want you to see that your empire follows your leadership evolution, not the other way around.
Today, I am breaking down a four-part framework that I've developed out of my own necessity and then ultimately to serve my clients and it's not only going to help you, but you can use this at home with your kids, you can use it with your team, with your clients, with whomever you seek to elevate.
What I love about today's episode is that it's going to serve you no matter where you are in your process: whether you are speaking on the world's biggest stages, or dreaming of breaking into your next level of financial success, or signing copies of your best seller to a line of people, or trying to navigate providing for your family as a small business owner without missing out on the special moments- this episode is for you.
