We talk all about how she launched this brand with her husband, her approach to scaling, and what it's like to build business relationships.

She has a rock-solid mindset that has kept her focused on the path forward and grounded in her beliefs that everything happens for a reason. Listen in to hear more about how Brittany runs one of the fastest-growing spirit companies!    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How Brittany convinced people that Skrewball was more than just another flavored whiskey  Getting over the initial hurdles of finding distributors and getting into the beverage industry  What Brittany would tell herself if she could go back to when she was first launching the business  The best advice that she's received from other successful CEOs How Brittany and her husband's personalities and skill sets complement each other    RESOURCES Thanks to Indeed for supporting Earn Your Happy.

Yeng was one to watch as she took her husband's wacky idea of combining peanut butter and whiskey and turned it into a shelf-stable product and Hollywood favorite that reached national distribution in just one short year. An industry disruptor and a woman making waves in a male dominated industry, she is a highly educated woman juggling parenting while running a leading spirits company, creating a brand that goes beyond just whiskey. Skrewball is a lifestyle that is welcoming to all manner of weirdo, maverick and misfit that brings people together in a world of uncertainty. When Yeng isn't taking over the spirits industry one bottle at a time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and getting off the grid while traveling to far remote places with her family.

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to The Big Leap audiobook, but something new really sticks out to me each time I go back to it. I've been thinking a lot about Gay Hendricks' concept of ‘Upper Limiting' when you are about to step a giant step into something bigger. That's when all of the inner saboteurs, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs come back in. I've realized that in order to quiet those voices, I need to fully immerse myself in my goal. I share how this idea has shown up in my religious childhood, my fitness competition years, my time in network marketing, and now as I'm getting ready to launch Lite Pink. I talk about ways that I've safe-guarded myself to stay on track and build the mental strength that it takes to make those quantum leaps to my dreams.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to make sure that we're always walking on the path of purpose  What it looks like to be fully immersed in things that light you up Creating an environment that supports your growth  Confronting the areas of your where you're self-sabotaging    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We're answering two listener questions today about navigating imposter syndrome and figuring out where to focus your energy. Lauren and I agree that imposter syndrome isn't necessarily a bad thing一it's actually a sign of growth and proof that you're evolving. We talk about how we approach uncharted territory in business with a curious and confident mindset. We also discuss how we prioritize things on our to-do lists and why it's so important to write things out. One of our go-to methods is to map out our timelines, which helps us feel less overwhelmed with everything that's on our plate.

Chris and I have been noticing that there are gaps between where we want to be and where we currently are, and we're discussing the tangible ways that we're closing those gaps. I realized that I was giving myself a lot of space for excuses by working from home, so I've switched up my workflow and I've already noticed a major difference in my productivity.

One of the consistent themes that I notice with the amazing entrepreneurs that I have on this show is their ability to confront their fears and believe that they're truly meant for more than the status quo. Lauren and I are reflecting on that, plus talking about how we've learned to empower each other and play bigger with Lite Pink. We discuss learning how to fail forward, what it takes to expand your network, and how to create a work environment where employees feel supported to take risks. I share how I've helped Lauren build up her confidence and grow from an assistant to an A Player. We also touch on the role that mortality plays in our drive to create this legacy-building company.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What has helped me step up to the challenges of launching Lite Pink  Detaching from feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness  Connecting with people who are going to support you in upleveling  Qualities that separate an A Player from a B or C Player  Why leading from fear isn't an effective and sustainable way to run a business    RESOURCES The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We're joined by our good friend Lindsey Schwartz of Powerhouse Women for today's He Said, She Said! We each share one moment or event of expansiveness when we did something that felt either scary or irresponsible or unreasonable, but it became this moment that radically upleveled us. I talk about how back in 2009 when we were starting over again from scratch, Chris and I rented an apartment in a ritzy building in Minneapolis, even though it was tiny and out of our comfortable budget range. We wanted to be around people who were at the level we wanted to be at, and over our 18 months of living there, we made it happen. Lindsey talks about her decision to attend her first mastermind event and how she learned to make decisions based on what her future self would do. Plus, Chris touches on his decision to go all-in on his FinTech company and partner with someone who can help him get to his $100 million goal.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Getting yourself into the environments where people are at the level you want to be at  Evaluating who you're sharing your ideas with  How to make the most out of networking events  Asking bold questions and being transparent about numbers  How to know when you're dreaming big enough  Why it's good to sometimes feel like the least experienced person in the room    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

She's also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.   After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don't have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone! 

If you've listened to any of our recent He Said, She Said episodes, then you know that Chris and I are super into NFTs and investing in the Web3 space.

We're answering listener questions today about how to prepare for the unknown, what it's like to go from concept to launch, and simple ways to get noticed by the people that inspire you. I explain how I do my ‘if this, then that' exercise to be more solution-oriented and take action instead of sitting in the surprise.

It's always so refreshing to have real, honest conversations about entrepreneurship with women who also have big visions. I'm joined by fashion powerhouse sisters Gorjana Reidel and Iva Pawling to talk all about what drives their creativity, how they lead from their intuition, and ways that they support themselves mentally as businesswomen, mothers, and wives. Gorjana and her husband Jason are behind the multi-million dollar gorjana jewelry brand, and Iva is the CEO and Co-Founder of Richer Poorer, an elevated essentials brand. They share how growing up in an immigrant household shaped their work ethic, what their biggest business challenges are, and what they do to relax and recharge.

She lived with her grandparents who were a significant influence to her creativity. Gorjana's childhood home was full of handmade trinkets, which ignited her passion of creation and ultimately led her to visualize gorjana as a brand.   After completing her degree in Marketing at Arizona State University she moved with her (now) husband, Jason, to California. While working in the jewelry department at Neiman Marcus, Gorjana realized she had a love for jewelry design. She soon started working with a local designer to learn all aspects of the jewelry-making business. She set out to design fun, versatile jewelry that all of her friends would want - at an accessible price point.   At 26, she did just that. Gorjana launched her namesake jewelry collection with an accessible price point that had the look and feel of high-end jewelry. During their humble beginnings, Gorjana and Jason would drive thousands of miles selling their collection and fulfill orders from their apartment. The pair ultimately grew out of the apartment and into an artist's studio in the canyon of Laguna Beach, California.    gorjana has since grown into a multi-million dollar business with high-profile customers that include the likes of Michelle Obama. Gorjana still maintains the welcoming price point and customer experience, which has allowed the expansion of their DTC stores across the country, with more store openings announced in 2022.  ABOUT IVA Iva Pawling is the CEO and Co-Founder of Richer Poorer. Iva has taken the company through fundraising, an early acquisition, and a founder buy back over the last decade. She leads the company's strategic planning, brand direction and product category expansion with an irritating level of persistence. Iva has been featured in Forbes, Inc., LA Times and included in the 100 Powerful Women of 2020 in Entrepreneur Magazine. She has spent her entire 20-year career in the fashion industry, starting out in the PR closet at Kate Spade and ending in overseeing Brand Development for her sister's namesake jewelry brand Gorjana, prior to founding Richer Poorer. Iva holds a B.S. in Communications from Arizona State University.

When you're at an event and you notice that someone is clearly not having a good time, what's your reaction? If you're anything like I used to be, you would take yourself out of the fun and try and shift that person's energy, solve their problems, and ultimately, bring your own mood down. This might be a major wakeup call for some of you who don't even realize that you're doing this and fall into patterns of feeling responsible for other people's emotions. When you start to take full ownership over your own feelings and reactions, that is one of the most powerful places that you can be in. This is a lifetime practice, but I'm sharing some tips on how I've been able to implement this in my life and the major changes that I've seen as a result of shifting out of my people-pleasing tendencies.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you can only be responsible for your own emotions and reactions  What tends to happen when you try to control the energy in a room How to be friendly while also maintaining your boundaries  Reflecting on why you might fall into these patterns  Overcoming the potential discomfort that can come with this practice    RESOURCES Thanks to Storyworth for supporting Earn Your Happy.

Lauren and I are diving in on the tech systems that we use, how we prioritize tasks, and why we keep things as simple and user-friendly as possible.

She also is great at keeping tabs on bigger-picture items. I share how I personally organize the notes section on my phone, and why it's so important to sit with your ideas for a little bit instead of sharing every single thought with your team.

Chris and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we're building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we've used to get here, and even though it'll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You're going to bump up against family and friends who think that you're going against their lifestyle, but it's important to remind yourself that you're becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it's in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday  The struggles of going against family patterns Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up in the ‘California lifestyle'  Choosing to hold yourself to higher standards and bigger dreams  Why you can't reach your goals by playing it safe    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

There's one thing that I've been able to pinpoint as a thread throughout all my success and any of the larger amounts of money that I've been able to make: I put myself into the rooms where the conversation was happening, where the bigger money was being made, and where the other people were winning. Whether it was fitness competitions, network marketing, selling personal development courses, and now launching Lite Pink, it's all because I surrounded myself with people who would push me to pursue my big dreams.

Chris and I have noticed this big cultural shift from the hustle and grind mindset to letting things flow and take their natural course. Which one is better? Like most things, I think it's best to exist somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. We talk about learning how to hustle with boundaries, giving yourself at least one day a week to be present, and practicing intentional planning. There are moments and seasons when you're going to have to give it your all, but recognize that you and your team need time to recharge afterwards.

I've definitely been guilty of deciding on something and then not fully committing to it, and let me tell you, it's not a good feeling. Now, once I decide on something, I attach someone and something to it. I have an accountability partner and put my money where my mouth is, literally and figuratively. I'm sharing why making true commitments are so important and a few tools that I rely on when life comes at me and I'm really tempted to sell out my dream.

Chris just hosted one of his weekend Elite Mastermind group sessions and we both feel so recharged from the amazing guest speakers and talented people who were in that room. I share something that executive life coach Adrian Koehler said, which is, “What do you know for sure that you spend way too much time trying to prove is false?” It made me think about where my decision making is coming from and how to lead from a place of trust.    Chris was really impacted by what Dan Fleischman, a genius marketer, had to say about people waiting for this ‘bubble' to pop. With all of the resources and advances in technology that we've seen since 2010, there's no way we're going to have a repeat of the mid-2000s recession.
