Generous Change

It's day 402 of entrepreneurship and the end of 2018! We're reviewing our very favorite books, movies, wine, food, music, places, advice, realization and generous moments.

On day 384 entrepreneurship, we're exploring the beauty & benefits of conferences. We've attended a gazillion in this first year, but we're focusing on a truly transformative retreat: Ali Brown's Iconic. We're also hosting our own retreat for women in development: UPLIFT. Get on the list here!

On day 283, we're exploring the unforeseen consequences - the good and not so good - of entrepreneurship. Big Ideas: Embrace every day. Treat it like the insane gift it is. Cry when you need to. Also, throw things. We won't judge you.

On day 230 of entrepreneurship, we're realizing how fundamental creativity is to business and life. What kills your creativity? What boosts it? How can you make more? Think more? Play more? Laugh more? Be more inspired? Our challenge: be less "busy" and more creative! xo Jenna & Nancy  

It's freaking day 193! That's one half of a year of entrepreneurship. We're feeling lots of feelings - growth, excitement, pain, weepiness and happiness - usually all in one day. In this episode, we share (and remind ourselves) of the amazing Jen Sincero and her 10 secrets to badassery. We were so super lucky to meet Jen in Wichita at Watermark Books. We're still nerding out about it.

On day 148, we've been entrepreneurs for 40% of a year! Gulp. Yay! In this episode, we share our top 10 lessons from the Social Media Marketing World conference in San Diego. This thing blew us away with insanely valuable lessons for EVERYONE! We're already signed up for 2019 - come with us!

On day 106 of entrepreneurship, we're (almost) recovered from the hangover of going from employees to entrepreneurs. Out of the fog of fear comes EXCITEMENT & INSPIRATION. In this episode, we share tips from amazing bosses on how to be a better manager, better employee, better partner, better parent...just better! Whether you're considering a new job, hiring a new employee or thinking of taking the leap into a new career, these tips will remind you what we're all striving for - at work and in life.

On day 64 of entrepreneurship, we've had some failures, a lot of fear and a second panic attack. Being self-employed, making a huge life change or taking any risk is not glamorous - it's damn hard work. In this episode, we share our own failures & fears and an awesome exercise from the founders of Warby Parker that made our business stronger. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, considering going into business with a friend or just facing a big decision, this monthly 360 exercise can help you keep your priorities in perspective, talk through the tough stuff with honesty & authenticity and get you out of the fetal position and back to kicking ass.

What are you afraid of? Us? Being broke, heights, drowning and brown recluse (just to name a few). Entrepreneurship brings its fair share of fear. It can stop you from doing something stupid or motivate you. For us, it's done both. In this episode, we share tips and actual exercises to work through fear. Hint: sometimes you have to take antivirals. Boo.

Are you a perfectionist? A procrastinator? Yes and yes? You're not alone! We'll share a few tips on what (and what not) to do to get yourself unstuck.

Making a big decision? You are not alone! 28 days ago, we quit our jobs to go all-in on our new company, Generous Change. We'll share advice from our favorite mentors that helped us take the leap. No matter what big decision you're facing, we'll share tips to help you work it out.
