Drudgery Dream or in Between?

Every week we start off by asking where our hosts are on the DDiB spectrum. This week we found out that Angela is closer to Drudgery working on the “not fun” parts of running a small business. Cob on the other hand is way closer to the dream because they are getting ready for a big speaking gig this week.

Balance Vs Harmony

When talking about work-life balance it is important to find out what that means to you. What does balance mean to you? How does that relate to harmony? What our hosts have found is that balance is hard and harmony is necessary.

Effective Communication

We’ve all been there; having that difficult conversation with a coworker, or even with a partner. How do we manage these difficult conversations? Our hosts dive DEEP into difficult conversations and what to say, and more importantly what NOT to say.
