On our final episode before we take a break for the rest of summer, we invited Stephen Brown back onto the podcast to cap off Season 2! Stephen was our very first guest and it's fitting to have him back on to finish out what has been a great topic to end Season 2. 

When we began looking back at our own journey and how far the podcast has come, we wanted to finish this season out with someone who started the journey with us. Stephen gives us his insight on why it's important to take in the present and why even in our darkest days, the journey still taught us something and put us in the position we are today.

Stephen gives great examples of his own life on how his journey has mattered so much and without that journey he would not have excelled the way he has in business and in his personal life. Please tune in and listen to Stephen wrap up Season 2 on why the journey matters!

Thanks and enjoy!

On today's episode, we will give you some suggestions on how to focus on the present and enjoy the journey. Most of the time we get focused on the future all while trying to obtain certain goals and we lose sight of what's in front of us. So here's some ways in which you can try to enjoy the journey more:

• First, practice mindfulness. Take moments to pause, breathe, and fully immerse yourself in the present. Embrace the sights, sounds, and emotions that surround you.
• Second, cultivate gratitude. Take time to appreciate the small victories, the lessons learned from challenges, and the people who support you along the way. Gratitude helps us stay grounded and find joy in the journey, no matter the circumstances.
• Third, embrace uncertainty. Life is unpredictable, and the journey often takes unexpected turns. Instead of resisting change, embrace it as an opportunity for growth and new possibilities.
• And finally, set intentions, not just goals. Intentions guide our actions and mindset, focusing on how we want to show up in the world and the values we want to embody.

Thanks and enjoy!

This week we are embarking into a topic that really means a lot to us. As we approach our 100th episode, we began looking back at our own journey and what it has meant to us. For us, the journey has been fun, exciting, rewarding and gratifying. We have learned so much along the way, and because of that, we've grown as individuals.

We wanted to talk about why the journey matters this week as we wrap up Season 2 of the podcast. Today's episode is all about why the journey matters to include savoring each step of the way because once it's all said and done, you can't go back. Sometimes we lose focus of the present when we are only concentrating on the future, such as completing our goals or trying to meet certain benchmarks. We tend to forget about what is going on right now and that is wrong. We need to open our eyes up and savor each moment along the way. It's those moments that really make us grow as individuals.

The goal this week is to make you understand why it's important to take it all in and not just focus on the destination. The journey matters!

Thanks and enjoy!
