You're listening to the first official solo episode on EB25! From now on, a bonus episode will be released the first Monday of every month!

These episodes could be solo episodes with just yours truly, or they could be episodes on trending topics where I bring in an in-house guest.  I haven't officially named this segment of the podcast, so if you have any ideas... Let me know. ;) 

On today's episode, I share my personal growth and journey through hosting EB25 for almost two years. I also go into the top success traits of the successful young entrepreneurs I've brought on the show. 

Enjoy!

Today's interview is with financial coach and content creator, Tess Wicks. We talk taxes, anti-budgeting, credit card hacks and break down some of the financial barriers and logistics that can sometimes seem extremely daunting. 
 
Tess's YouTube channel, Wander Wealthy, empowers women in their 20s and 30s to get educated and build confidence around their finances, travel desires, and personal development journey. From one-on-one coaching to her online money program, Tess has helped high-performance female business owners get a grip on their personal and business money management. Tess doesn't teach how to coupon or cut back on expenses, but how to strategize and optimize your financial life, build a budget that actually works (even if you suck at budgeting), and afford the things you want in life, because you can have anything, just not everything.
 
Feel like you're in a financial rut? Spend an hour with us at today's interview and see the light!

It was an honor to be able to talk with the legendary Brandon Steiner about his entrepreneurial journey on today's episode! We covered topics that don't normally get covered in interviews with him. These questions give so much context to how he managed to buy the Yankee Stadium and create the sports empire he has.

Brandon's authenticity, core personal values and continual desire for growth definitely show through in our conversation.

I love bringing guests on the show who have a little age, wisdom, and experience on the rest of us. It sheds so much light and perspective on where we might be in our journey today and how we should view where we are.

A little about Brandon Steiner-

He is the CEO and Founder of Steiner Sports. Steiner began in 1987 with a one-room office, $4,000 and a single Mac computer. Today, Steiner Sports is the most successful memorabilia company of its kind with over $35 million in annual sales. Brandon's mindset has always been to be fearless – that mentality has helped him secure partnerships with the most elite names in sports; Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr., Chris Paul and the New York Yankees among others. Brandon is also the bestselling author of "You Gotta Have Balls" and "The Business Playbook."

I walked away having stuff to implement right away and those things have already made a big difference in my life!
 
One of my favorite quotes in this episode is: "Instead of trying to change the world, I'm just going to try and change myself and become the best version of myself that I can be."

A few weeks ago, I had Jarrod Warren on the show and we talked about WHY the hustle mentality is driving millennial entrepreneurs to an early grave.  After ending that interview we realized we weren't nearly done talking about this topic. So, I invited Jarrod on for a part 2! We talked about the WHY in episode 75 and in this episode we talk about the HOW. Namely- How to create SUSTAINABLE peak performance for our lives. Hustling isn't bad, it's just the way we hustle that can be bad and have extreme and not so great results in the near future. We really dig into two main points in this episode. Two super unexpected things that you're doing or partaking of that are sabotaging your peak performance. I was super surprised by these two points. Jarrod even gets a little scientific which was fun too to have on the show.
 
For those of you who didn't listen to my first episode with Jarrod, I highly recommend listening to his first episode. But just to give you a quick summary of who Jarrod is in case you don't want to do that: He's the founder and host of the Success 101 podcast where his goal is to help others find a way to live more optimal through new concepts and ideas, that can be accomplished without experiencing burnout, fatigue, and an unproductive mindset. Super successful and amazing businessman.
 
He speaks about this stuff because he was there. He had hit rock bottom because he worked too hard without balance. I love learning from people who are living passionately from their experiences.
 
Anyways, sit back, relax and enjoy this show where we really dig deep into HOW we can maximize our peak performance and work SMARTER not harder.
