A doozy of a question for us on this week's episode!

"How do you build generational wealth in your business?"

And because we know our lane, we brought in expert advice! Mindy McCubbin is a Certified Financial Planner and the founder of Truman Wealth Advisors. When we asked Mindy this question, she recommended the book, “Every Family’s Business” by Thomas Williams Deans, as one of their services is exit planning, and this is the blueprint they use.

And you'd be correct in thinking...that's all they shared?

No, friends.

This topic brought up:

• - thoughts on passing down money to kids
• - how money is (unfortunately) not a common topic
• - how do we talk about and teach our kids about money to help them make decisions later?

I don't think this will be our last episode on money, so if you have more questions or are interested, please share them in our Google form or DM Amanda on IG!

This week, we're digging into hiring!

A write-in, "Hiring! What's the secret sauce? Can you all dive deep into the ever-so-slightly painful process of 'hiring' - from where to post, to red flags (this has been a hard one for me!), to balancing your gut with hard and objective strategy."

We'll admit we are not HR, and we're not talent scouts. We dive deep into the complexities of the hiring process, sharing personal experience and practical tips.

A book recommendation is The E-Myth Revisited, and the banana bread story came from the wonderful Brandi Spurling with Spree Culture Co on her blog, which you can find here!

Key takeaways:

• Knowing your company's mission and vision will create alignment right off the bat
• While being objective is essential, don't ignore the gut feelings you get
• Don't be afraid to always be accepting applications, so you can keep the hiring door open

Have any hiring tips you've found helpful? We'd love for you to share in the comments below!

Think of this as Part 2 of Episode 11, as we continue the conversation about marketing and branding and how they play into building a growing business. But, the kicker of this one is…

Self Awareness.

How many times a day do we do things because it’s just what we’ve always done, or it’s how we’ve seen other people do it? We didn’t actually count, but it’s a shit ton. And because of that, there’s been a sense of vanilla in the world. Samesies as the cool kids would say (or maybe they don’t anymore?).

Today, we’re talking about how being self-aware helps you make decisions that will truly shape the business you’re looking to build.

Key Takeaways:

• In a world of vanilla, it’s not hard to stand out and be authentically you
• Finding balance in work and life is incredibly important to be aware of
• As long as you’re a solid person doing good things in the world, say the things you feel you need to say…even if they’re hard
