For years, I struggled to fit in. I desperately wanted to be live my friends and those around, though what they did and who they were didn't "fit" on me. I spent many years struggling, knowing that I felt different and didn't know why. Fast forward a few decades and now I know what was missing. I discovered my "weird" was not so weird after all and as parents, we must absolutely embrace ours kids "weird." Weird is no longer bad. It's who we are an everyone has their own flavor of "weird" that must be celebrated.

Last week we dove into making our own bigger impact. Today, we're chatting about how we can help our KIDS make a bigger impact so that they can share their gifts, talents, stories, and message with the world. At OYC, we help kids do just this by giving them tools to use the devices they're already glued to and turn consumption time into creation time. With these skills, they can go out into the world to serve others, create a life of their dreams, and fund their own adventures.

For many entrepreneurs, systems are an afterthought - and not something considered fun or sexy. Having a business on both sides of systems, I can say with absolute certainty that while systems do take thought and action to implement, they are a game changer, saving time, and more. Our resident Systems Expert on the podcast is Marina Darlow - a systems' expert, and a productivity geek. She sees her job as helping impact-driven entrepreneurs get 10-20 more productive hours a week, stop leaking money, and prevent stress-fuel breakdowns.An engineer by training, Marina came to a realization a couple of years ago: working for a conglomerate is not as inspiring as she wants her life work to be. The quest for inspiration brought her to found Vision Framework, a company that builds small, purpose-driven businesses from the inside, helping entrepreneurs run their companies with ease by putting effective, easy-to-use, and fun (yep!) systems in place.

How are you going to make a bigger impact this year? Can you use audio and a podcast to do it - you bet! Find out how OYC is making a bigger impact in 2018 and how we can help YOU do the same!
