Rozanne tells the story of how ONE phrase convinced them to make the switch, why all learning needs to involve the “Nerdy Dopamine Rush'', and how raising empathetic and independent children starts with raising yourself.

They tackle the “no pain no gain” mentality, fundamental movements every workout should include, and a more holistic approach that will keep you coming back for more, no matter what life throws at you.

When people imagine running an online business, the image of “relaxing by the beach, laptop in lap” often comes to mind. While that scenario isn’t impossible, it’s a bit of a fantasy. Growing a business, whether physical or virtual, requires hours of dedication and persistence. Success doesn’t happen overnight. An online business will present its own unique challenges, but as you’ll hear on today’s new episode, pushing through those difficulties will get you closer to living the life you want. Dave and Chris discuss what “overnight success” really means, how to utilize email and websites to foster engagement, and an actionable step-by-step guide to growing any kind of business.

• Why EVERY business needs to be “online” in some capacity, especially with COVID

Imagine with me for a second: You open your email, see a message from a budding and gracious writer who wants to provide you “content” or “value”, and it seems all too familiar. You’ve seen this before, haven’t you? Someone reaching out to establish a “relationship”, but in reality, they’ll want something from you. So, in a world chock FULL of those emails, how do you find the genuine relationship that will last a lifetime, free of expectations? In this new episode, Dave and Chris differentiate between your business and “bros”, a foolproof checklist to test the health of a relationship, and the simple but TRUE definition of friendship.

In This Episode:

• Use THIS simple gauge to know if your relationship is rock solid
• Why you need to share values, NOT “value”, in your relationships
• How to approach new people WITHOUT wanting something from them
• If you only talk about THIS in a relationship, watch out!
