In 2013, I made the big decision to move away from everything I had ever known, and go 1,000+ miles away to Tampa Bay. In today's episode, I want to encourage and bring value to anybody moving to a new city or considering leaving their hometown. Feel free to share this with somebody you know who might be going through a similar experience.

I don't use the word "should" very often, but I do think businesses SHOULD consider having a company podcast. In this episode, I explain why this is a "triple win" for businesses, and I break down the 5 W's - Who, What, When, Where, and Why?

Everything in this episode should equip you to turn my podcast off, run to your computer and start a company podcast or show/series. Just kidding, that's a little aggressive... but seriously. It's easier than you think, and it makes so much sense.

Take a listen and let me know what you think.

In this episode, I give an overview of our pilot test, making it permanent, why it's working for us, some of the benefits and risks, and more. I also reply to some common questions people ask me regarding the 4 day work week.

I find that positive people often get held back or discouraged from posting content on social media. I know I've dealt with this, so I wanted to break down my thoughts on this episode. Hope it provides some value!

A friendly reminder that nothing in these episodes is ever financial advice.

In this 4th installment of HODL Happy Hour, Alex and I touch on a very important topic in today's society: the comparison game. So many people find themselves unhappy, envious, or angry because they compare themselves to others on social media and in real life. This episode has some great tips for overcoming this way of thinking, and how you can free yourself up for true happiness.
