Imagine waking up one day thinking you have a common cold but then the illness never goes away.  You become frustrated, irritated, miserable, and maybe even you start losing hope of ever getting better.  Or even worse, what if you were told you could die? 

Now think about the things that you would do instead because of the amount of time you have left. 

That scenario is exactly what happened to our guest this week, Ari Meisel, after he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. He decided he needed to make changes in order to survive. He realized with the time his body would physically allow him to work, he needed to find ways to optimize his time. In short, his disease inspired him to do less. He began optimizing, automating, and outsourcing all of his daily tasks in his business and life to be able to accomplish the things that mattered most to him at the time of his diagnosis; allowing him to limit the stresses of everyday life.

In life, most of us grow up in a society where the term failure carries a negative meaning. If we fail we immediately take the idea of failure and make it meaningful to our own identity. We start telling ourselves, “you failed because you’re not smart,” or “you failed because you’re not pretty enough.” 

From a young age, we’re told that we have to follow a specific path that will lead to our purpose and what we’re supposed to do in life. We stick to what we’re comfortable and what we’re good at because failure isn’t an option. We know that if we stick in our comfort zones that we will continually be successful. But when we do that, we sacrifice our future selves and what we could be. 

We stick to this idea of conformity so much that it’s nearly impossible to leave what we have, to try something else that can make us happy and more fulfilled.

In this episode, we sit down with Goli...

So you want to quit your 9-5 and start a business? That’s AMAZING! But have you ever considered HOW to even get started? Or is this just a one off dream that you’re hoping will one day come to fruition? 

Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy. It’s not going to solve all your problems. It requires dedication, patience, leadership, knowledge, HUSTLE; the list can go on and on. 

Friends, there’s a difference between a Dreamer and a Doer! Do you clearly know which one you are? 

On this episode of the Push Podcast we’re talking all about what it takes to be an Entrepreneur and why if your friends or family members tell you to quit your day job today, DON’T! 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie & I discussed… 

• Having a “What in the world” and how Eddie takes retelling stories to a whole other level (02:17)
• Everyone says they would love to leave their 9 to 5, but no one...

Friends! Why are we so caught up in the FEAR of everything? Some of us are scared to make that career change, some of us are scared to make that big investment (even if it’s in ourselves, might I add). Maybe  you’re scared to have a DIFFERENT perspective than your friends & family, and some of us are even scared to just say NO! 

But this year is different! I’ve got 2020 vision and I’m seeing the life I envision for myself CLEARLY! And I want  you to too! 

Today is a HUGE day for myself and my family, because I’m announcing one of the biggest transitions of my life… I’m selling The Cake Mamas!!! 

YES, the bakery I built in 2009, based off a little dream, from my home, with ZERO DOLLARS to my name, with my husband’s EX, and zero knowledge of the food/baking industry! (STUPID, right?!) 

The bakery that has employed over 100 talented bakers, decorators and amazing customer...

“Rejection doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough; it means the other person failed to notice what you have to offer” -Mark Amend 

We all suffer from rejection! Rejection in relationships, rejection in the workplace, and even rejection of ourselves! Rejection is what you make of it. 

You can either look at rejection as being not good enough or not deserving. Or you can look at rejection as the universe simply telling you, not yet. 

So many of us choose to suffer in our comfort zones, unhappy, and feeling a lack of motivation throughout our daily lives because we are so scared to face rejection. We’re terrified of the consequences we “might” face; the disapproval of our ideas, the lack of belief in our ideas, and being told you’re not good enough or deserving. 

We seek answers on how to push past rejection, when in reality the only way to become confident is to be REJECTED! Imagine being...

Do you ever stop and wonder, “WHAT IN THE WORLD?” 

In short, “what in the world” is another way of saying, “what the hell,” or just simply wondering why a certain situation is happening! 

But when I sit here and tell you, we’ve had some of the world’s most INTENSE, BIZZARE, and just plain STRANGE “what in the world” moments, you probably wouldn’t believe me unless you actually witnessed what we’ve experienced! 

So this week we decided to tell you some of the WEIRDEST “what in the world” moments that have stood out to us over the past couple of years. 

Sit back, relax and maybe grab a drink or some popcorn cause you’re gonna wanna listen to this episode on REPEAT! 

To give you an idea, here's a breakdown of what Eddie & I discussed…

• The origin of “what in the world!!!” (01:13)
• The homeless guy inconvenient...

Faith is a touchy subject for a lot of people. Either you’re a BIG believer in faith, you have some faith, or you don’t have faith at all. It’s really up to the individual. However, for me, faith is something that has kept me in constant gratitude and has been something I have turned to in times of struggle, animosity, and fear of failure. 

We all turn to faith for different reasons, whether we do or not. 

This week we’re diving into the idea of faith with the help of our guest, Dr. Jim Reeve. 

Jim is the founding pastor of Faith Community  Church, which has served his community for more than 40 years! 

Not only has Jim had a HUGE impact on our lives, but he was an influential part in saving our marriage years ago. 

Being that this is the Push Podcast, we’re not only going to touch on his spiritual side but we’re also gaining insight into his approach to life and his greatest...

Do you ever just wish you had someone or something to help you stay accountable and keep on track with your goals? 

Unless you’re involved in a higher level coaching, mentorship program, or even school; you probably don’t have anyone or anything keeping you accountable besides yourself and maybe your loved ones. 

If you struggle with keeping yourself accountable and staying on track with your goals, then you’re in luck because Eddie and I have come up with our own rendition of an “Adult Report Card” to help you gauge whether you’re currently passing or failing through life! 

Now is the perfect time to REVISION your life and see where you’re falling in categories like: 

• Communication
• Creativity
• Decision Making
• Leadership
• Self-Confidence 

By diving into these various life categories, we want to PUSH you to take ahold of your life and really focus on where you can improve to help take you...

We all have one relative that we think just doesn’t understand us! Or maybe it’s really us who doesn’t understand them? 

OR maybe it’s your own child you don’t understand. 

Have you ever thought that maybe this lack of understanding is because of the generation you were born in? 

This week we’re discussing understanding the 5 living generations: The Silents, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millineials, and Gen Z. 

And surprisingly, when coming up with what to discuss during this episode, we learned a lot of people actually don’t know what generation they fall into. Not to mention, each generation has completely different priorities of what aspects in life should be prioritized. That being said, of course, you’re not going to understand some of the decisions that other generations make. 

But, we have the tools to be able to understand each generation and utilize this information...

Parenting is tough! But parenting teenage girls, is a whole other level! And if you’re a parent to teenagers then you know the struggle! 

As a parent, it can be difficult to navigate when and how to ask your children certain questions. How much privacy you should give them? What age is appropriate to give them certain freedoms? When is the right time to ask what’s bothering them? When to stop reassuring them that they can talk to you about everything? The list goes on and on…

So we decided to sit and have a conversation with two of our daughters, a 14 & 16 year old. Needless to say, it was a very enlightening  conversation. 

We discussed school, what they think of us as parents, our different personalities, the #MeToo movement, the future, privacy and so much more! 

Basically, everything a parent would wanna know when communicating with their kids, we asked! Find out what our kids said about our biggest wins and...
