A lot of entrepreneurs are workaholics by nature. Oftentimes they tend to neglect their well-being and end up putting healthy habits at the bottom of their priority list. While hustle is important if you don't take time to rest and recharge your body and mind it will eventually catch up to you.   In this week's episode, Dan and Ildiko have a conversation about some of the healthy changes they've made to their diets and wellness routines ever since Ildiko got sick. They chat about the foods that they feed their kids, how the whole family avoids sugar, and Dan sheds some insight on what it's like to turn 50 years old.   “Hustle is important, don't get me wrong, but at some point, you also have to take care of yourself.” – Dan Caldwell    Episode Highlights:  The importance of a healthy diet How to develop a morning and evening routine Why Ildiko doesn't consume any negative media How Dan and Ildiko prioritize sleep Dan's self-reflections from what it's like turning 50 Why resting can often be your superpower   The Daily Greens Dan is taking!

We’re on the podcast today talking about the power of story. Stories are the oldest form of marketing because they impact the heart and soul. Stories can have a profound effect on the success of your business, too, because today’s businesses are all built on connection. Once you have a connection with your audience, they become your number one supporters and oftentimes, customers. People want to know your struggles and your wins. They can relate to those moments because it’s likely they’ve been through the same thing or something similar.   We want to encourage all of you to tell YOUR story. Don’t be shy, chances are the story you don’t want to tell is the story you need to tell. You’ll be surprised at the questions you get from your followers on social media or the supporting DM’s you’ll receive that celebrate your journey.    Episode Highlights: How today’s businesses are built on connection through story The oldest form of marketing How to create your personal story The relatability factor How to practice working on your speech and how to overcome the intimidation Building a story Arc Watching Ted Talks for inspiration   “The story you don’t want to tell is the story you need to tell.” - Ildiko Ferenczi   Resources: Bo Eason-There’s No Plan B For Your A-Game Donald Miller - Building a Story Brand Goalcast     Connect with the Pretty and Punk Podcast: Pretty and Punk Website Pretty and Punk Podcast on Facebook Pretty and Punk Podcast on Instagram Spicy Lil Pepper on Instagram Punk Ass on LinkedIn

Pink Lily brings women an ever-changing assortment of apparel, footwear, and accessories. In 2013 Tori and her husband Chris had their first baby, Jackson. While on maternity leave with no income, Tori noticed the bills piling up. She started experimenting with online marketplaces selling various items to help make ends meet. Her online community of friends quickly grew from a few hundred members to over 10,000 in a short period of time.

Today’s episode is all about how to stay motivated. Entrepreneurs with kids have a lot going on in their family life and within their businesses. Juggling both these things is a full-time job, and it’s easy to become unmotivated and just start going through the motions with our kids and within our businesses.

The tips below are a few things that have worked for us, but, everyone’s different. We’d love to hear what you guys do to stay motivated with your kids and within your business, when you feel like giving up.   Our 5 Tips on How to Stay Motivated: Remember your “why” Find inspiration Surround yourself with like-minded people Celebrating small wins Focus on the positive things in your life   “I want to build other women and men up.

Today, it’s just the two of us on the podcast and we’re debating the question “Are entrepreneurs born or are they made?” While the answer is probably a mix of both, Ildiko and I are discussing our thoughts on the controversial topic. Some people believe that entrepreneurs are born with something special, something different. Perhaps, but, business acumen can also be taught, and creative ideas can be nurtured.   In this episode you’ll find that Ildiko and I have slightly different views on whether or not entrepreneurship are born. We’d love to know the audience's thoughts on this. What do you think about entrepreneurship? Maybe you have kids who seem like creators or visionaries, we’d love to know! Please tag us on instagram and leave us a review.   “Entrepreneurs are born with certain traits” - Ildiko Ferenczi   This week on Pretty and Punk: The different types of entrepreneurs The drive to prove yourself Growing up with money vs. starting with nothing Fostering your kids interests, as a parent Embracing your god given talent   Connect with the Pretty and Punk Podcast: Pretty and Punk Website Pretty and Punk Podcast on Facebook Pretty and Punk Podcast on Instagram Spicy Lil Pepper on Instagram Punk Ass on LinkedIn

We’re on the podcast today telling our stories of how we each made our first million dollars. We’re not telling you these stories to brag, but rather, to inspire you. Oftentimes in business we get so beat down that we begin to lose hope, while we struggle to keep our heads above water. This episode is to show you guys that we’ve been there and have felt like giving up at times. But, we stayed the course, just like you’re going to do. You have to stay strong and keep working harder and harder. You’ve got to act like there’s no Plan B. It’s like running a marathon, if you keep moving forward you will eventually reach that finish line.   That’s why we’re on the pod today, to inspire you with our stories of how we got started and eventually manifested our dreams. In our journey we’ve found that hearing other people's success stories has kept us motivated and made us feel like we weren’t alone.

He’s on a mission to encourage people to share their stories and build authenticity in their lives.

2020 has been a whirlwind. Many people lost loved ones, while others experienced the joy of working from home and got to spend more time with their families. Some people lost their businesses or their jobs, while others saw an opportunity to start a new business or side hustle. Regardless, this year hit everyone hard. While most of us got knocked down in some way during the wrath of COVID-19, the important thing is getting back up and counting the blessing that you do have.   In 2020 you may have learned more about yourself than in any of the previous years of your life. You probably learned what you do like, what you don’t like, how you like to spend your time and the importance of health and family. So, in this episode we’re discussing what we’re looking forward to in 2021, the adjustments we’re making in our family, of course sharing our New Year’s Resolutions, as well as consulting you guys on the best type of resolutions to make and how to stay accountable to them.   “Less than 8% of people make it to the end of the year with their New Year’s Resolution.

Dan and Ildiko are on the podcast today to talk about how they initially decided to raise their kids without a nanny, but are now shifting their mindsets and are open to possibly bringing a nanny on board in the future. Then, they walk the listeners through a few things to consider when hiring a nanny and why the people that kids spend the most time with, have the most significant impact on them. This leads them into a bigger conversation about how the things they used to value most have changed and they’re no longer focused on shiny objects as a metric for success.   The important thing to remember when listening to this episode is that having a nanny is personal choice and doesn’t reflect positively or negatively on you as a parent.   “It shouldn’t be kids that stop your from living out your dreams—and that whether you have to make them part of it, or you bring them into the business, or you do the business while you’re also raising your kids, that should be possible.” – Dan Caldwell    This Week on Pretty and Punk: Why deciding to have a nanny or not have a nanny can be one of the most important decisions parents make when raising kids The difference between a nanny and a doula Why optics matter and how your kids become influenced by those they spend the most time around How Ildiko and Dan got over the “fantasy” of traveling the world while a nanny raised their kids How to reframe what success looks like for YOU The importance of transitioning from focusing on obtaining “things” to focusing on values based living Why Ildiko got rid of her collection of fancy bags and shoes The factors that should go into deciding who the right nanny is for your kids   Connect with the Pretty and Punk Podcast: Pretty and Punk Website Pretty and Punk Podcast on Facebook Pretty and Punk Podcast on Instagram Spicy Lil Pepper on Instagram Punk Ass on LinkedIn    

Whether it is a work of art, a collectible piece of history, an autograph from an inspirational athlete, or a quote from an entrepreneurial leader, these things in which we surround ourselves with, have a profound affect on us.  Knowing that these great Individuals have encountered challenges in their lives, and have found the courage to triumph over them, defying the impossible and changing the world, is both inspiring and it gives us strength.  The most successful individuals in the world are known for collecting art, autographed items, and for using quotes to derive inspiration.  We've found a way to bring all of these things together in a way that will both inspire you, and give you long term investment value.     Today on the podcast we’re sharing our journey into creating Billionaire Collectables. Several years back, we wanted to launch a business that we were both inspired by, a business that we could wake up feeling excited to work on. We tossed around a few different ideas, including Ildiko’s Bikini Line, which started to get some momentum, but just didn’t feel right. One night after watching The Walk, a movie about Philippe Petit, the man who walked across a wire between the tops of the Twin Towers, we started having a deep conversation about how entrepreneurs would be inspired by this film and other great athletes, inventors and CEO’s. We thought it would be amazing to create pieces of art based on these high performing people, which could be displayed in homes, offices, lobbies etc... We took this idea and ran with it and created our first pieces to sell. Coincidentally we’re both collectors and actually had some pieces in our own collections that we used for Billionaire Collectables first items to sell.   We hope this episode gives you some inspiration to put the wheels in motion on your side hustle or business idea. An important takeaway is that you shouldn’t force your idea. The best ideas will reveal themselves to you in prayer or meditation. Talk to your spouse and make sure you’re both equally excited about an idea.   "It felt right, your gut will tell you. You’re going to fall on such amazing blessings and signs if you just ask for them and that’s what happened." - Ildiko Ferenczi    This Week on Pretty and Punk: Why Dan and Ildiko gave up the red carpets and living in the fast lane Why trying to force a business idea never works How inspiration can be found through meditation or prayer The importance of legacy Why Ildiko wanted her first born son to grow up watching her and Dan create businesses they’re passionate about The importance of figuring out how to “sell” Why word of mouth can still be the best publicity What the process is like for hunting down extremely rare and valuable collectable pieces Why you always have to kept dreaming   Connect with the Pretty and Punk Podcast: Pretty and Punk Website Pretty and Punk Podcast on Facebook Pretty and Punk Podcast on Instagram Spicy Lil Pepper on Instagram Punk Ass on LinkedIn Resources: Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How To Sell Your Story in a Noisy Social World – Gary Vaynerchuk
