148. The Final Episode In My Beyond Profit Era

Welcome to the final episode... at least for a little while. Tune in to hear the journey that led me to this choice, including the challenges of balancing work and life, and the realization that sometimes, even the things we love need to take a backseat. 🎙️🚗 Exciting — I’ve recently reclaimed full control over my content and emails which has felt really good. I've been opening up space and pulling back on some things to pour my energy into a mastermind I’ve been secretly crafting BTS.

As I prepare for a personal milestone — my 37th birthday — I reflect on the lessons learned from my sabbatical and how I’ve shifted away from the "revenue rat race." In this episode I chat about the dangers of scaling without sustainability and why doing more to make more isn’t always the answer. Instead, we ought to be simplifying and focusing on what truly matters. Those beyond profit moments. 🎂🌳🌊🌅🥾👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💋🍦
