I just got off a Libsyn Connect call where I was a guest on @podCast411 with Rob Walch. We got real nerdy about half-way through 🤓
And yesterday I was interviewed by Seth Resler for his new Community Case Studies podcast.
Both will be out in the next few weeks!

In the past 24 hours I've seen three powerful woman leave major roles at the company they worked for.
Two seem to be going self-employed, while one is transitioning to a "sister" company.
That's a lot of change in my world, but all I can think about is "Watch out world, here they come!"

Words that don’t mean what they used to:
“Bad” now means good/awesome.
“Slap” means excellent, impressive instead of challenging someone to a duel 😄
“Let’s Go” is said when celebrating the end of a great performance rather than at the beginning.
“67” means basically nothing instead of a value.

There are three things I hear people regretting not starting sooner:
#1. Saving for retirement
The benefits of saving sooner than later, even small amounts, can have huge implications on your future. The Compound Effect is real.

But I used to travel a ton for a day-job and yearned to work from home. Now I want to go to in-person events all the time? 🤪
