One of the reasons many people become self employed is because they believe they can have more freedom working for themselves. Whether that's more time for family or the ability to dictate what they do in a given day - they're looking for more autonomy.However, as we get more and more successful, we have a decision to make. Do we want to scale up and bring more onto our team or stay at the level we're at because that's our sweet spot?It's really hard to fight the urge to scale up - especially if part of the way that you measure success is through an increase in income and the ability to buy bigger and better things.But what if finances didn't enter into the equation of success? What if it stayed at what was important to us at the beginning - to do what we want when we want? Not to be pressured by keeping up societal norms - but to spend time with those we care about and/or traveling?This is the life that today's guest Jared Latigo has crafted for himself and his family.

When it comes to your everyday classroom teacher, a lot of them feel like their hands are tied in a similar fashion. They're not allowed to teach the way that they believe they should. Because of this, the average time that someone works in the public education system as a classroom teacher is 3 years. This is a horrible statistic. That said, students are paying for this lack of competency just as much as teachers are. It's producing people who simply aren't ready for life and the real world.

When someone hits rock bottom, they usually have a choice to make. One, they can blame everyone but themselves for what has happened to them. Many times this prevents people from moving on from where they're at. They can then choose to make the other choice. They can realize that they're actually the one in control of where they're at and make it their mission to get out of that situation and never come back. The term "rock bottom" is a relative term. Rock bottom for one person can be quite different than rock bottom for someone else. For some people, a simple habit change can be enough to help them get out of their situation. But on the other hand, the person might need a complete mindset overhaul. For today's guest, he was more of the latter. After being homeless through the ages of 6 to 16, he thought his only way to get ahead was to excel at football. When an injury killed his chances to get a scholarship, he felt stuck. Luckily, a mentor stepped up and taught him that he had a gift of communication. Ever since then, he's been on a mission to develop this gift. Doing so has given him opportunities he might not have ever considered as an athlete. Join Harrison and I as we talk with Rev. Antonio Smith Jr. about this transition and how others can make a positive impact in their community! Enjoy!

Anyone that has had a significant amount of success in their lives have probably done a fair amount of listening to those who have had more experience. When you're thinking about sports, for example, there's no team that has been successful without having coaches and a front office who perform well at their jobs. Likewise, in business and in the self-help world, it's good practice to take advice from people who have been where you're wanting to go. Today's guest, is all about enabling people to get out of their own way and be more successful. He does this through his podcast, on stage, and through his book "Going North!".

The phrase "I'd walk in 5 ft snow and blowing winds BOTH WAYS to school!" or something similar is a pre-internet meme that many of us think of when we think of stories from our grandparents. This generation, dubbed the "Greatest Generation" saw tons of changes in their lives - from civil rights to electricity and TV in every house. Over the years, technology changed the way they lived, worked, and even played. Unfortunately, with each passing year, there are fewer members of this generation around to share their wisdom. Today's guest, and regular cohost of the show, Veronica Kirin made it her goal to get perspectives from this generation about something we all take for granted today: technology.

There's been a lot said about passion in the career of an entrepreneur. Some would argue that it's important to bring passion to whatever kind of work you're doing. Others would say that the work you do actually has to have part of its roots in a passion so that we have prolonged energy to do it. I would say that today's guest would agree with the second perspective. Having been very successful in her past corporate life as well as landing a "dream job", she started feeling a yearning for more. While at the time she didn't know what that "more" was, she would later find out that it was a desire for more fulfillment. She started to realize that she needed to start living her life with more purpose. Eventually finding this purpose in coaching, Tanya Conner-Green is doing work that she feels specifically called for. Can you say the same for the work you're doing?

It's true when they say leadership, influence, and business go hand in hand. If you don't have influence in your organization, company, or team, how do you expect to get anything done? Knowing what people want and what motivates them is a big part of being influential - especially when you're dealing with the higher levels in leadership.

Starting a business comes natural to many people. You see a need and you deliver a solution. Suddenly, you have a business. Many small businesses are you're everyday cleaners, mechanics, and other local service providers.
