On Purpose with Jay Shetty Key Takeaways  Engineering Thinking FrameworkEmbrace failure as discovery, foster insatiable curiosity, and iterate relentlessly The core principle: break things, test repeatedly, and view each failure as eliminating one wrong approachIf you can dream it, you can build it through iterative experimentation.Naive Optimism + Strategic ExecutionTurn ideas into action by combining an optimistic vision with a practical breakdown: define your end goal, decompose it into simple steps, identify knowledge gaps, and test incrementallyTransform fear into curiosity through hands-on building and reflection on lessons learned, rather than ego protection The Immersion Weekend Method: Dedicate 48 hours of complete immersion to explore new fascinations – consume every book, video, and resource available. This intensive sprint reveals whether something deserves permanent schedule integration and helps you fall in love with the process of incremental masteryDual-Track Success ModelAvoid binary thinking: maintain steady employment while pursuing passion projects during nights and weekends until they gain tractionThe most successful ventures pair a 10x visionary thinker with a logistics master (Jobs + Napoleon model), preventing burnout by keeping founders focused on their core love rather than pure managementContent that resonates triggers five core emotions: Adventure, humor, negativity, inspiration, or surprise More broadly: control only what's in your sphere of influence, commit to “hell yes” decisions exclusively, and recognize that outcomes revert to the mean Things are never as extreme as they appear in the moment.Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat idea have you been sitting on lately?

Carrie Stevens  - Fed Up Foods On the Knowing What it Takes to be Successful: "When you're setting up your business, you want to make it convenient for the customer, but also it needs to be convenient for us because if we can't maintain it then we're going to get burnt out and we can't sustain it." Thousands of pounds of produce goes to waste every year.  This is due to many things, often having nothing to do with the actual taste or health of the produce.  Sometimes it just isn't pretty enough.  So what can be done with all of this good food that should be consumed? Carrie Stevens has a farm, butchers animals to sell and recently purchased the business named, Fed Up Foods.  This is a business that takes less than pretty food and turns it into beautiful sauces, relishes and pickled produce. Fed Up Foods got its start in the local farmers markets, thanks to Wisconsin's pickle law. Carrie Stevens is building on that foundation to bring locally sourced, shelf-stable products—ranging from pickle relish and maple ginger beets to cranberry applesauce—to more retail shelves and customers. Discover the surprising details behind what it takes to buy and run a canned goods business, from PH testing and food safety to sourcing "imperfect" produce and managing labels and inspections. Listen as Carrie explains her journey and what she has learned from building her sustainable food businesses. Enjoy!

Because, you know, muddled cherries kind of look like cranberries in the cranberry sauce. And I picked them up just that day from the Mr. Ayan Rousch from Roush Century Farms in central Wisconsin. He gave me a nice little tour of his cranberry farm. Organic cranberries. Fantastic. James Kademan [00:00:20]: Sounds like another podcast guest. Yeah. Yes. Carrie Stevens [00:00:22]: So, yeah, just a little cranberry sauce in your old fashioned. James Kademan [00:00:27]: How about that?

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link fundedrawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie and today we're welcoming slash preparing to learn from Carrie Stevens of Fed Up Foods. Carrie, I'm so freaking excited. We're talking about food, which is always good. Carrie Stevens [00:01:00]: Always good. James Kademan [00:01:01]: We're talking about pickles, which is always good. Carrie Stevens [00:01:02]: Absolutely. James Kademan [00:01:03]: And we're talking business. So I feel like we got the trifecta here. Carrie Stevens [00:01:06]: Yeah, absolutely. James Kademan [00:01:07]: How's it going today? Carrie Stevens [00:01:08]: Good, good. James Kademan [00:01:09]: All right, tell us the story. What is Fed Up Foods? Carrie Stevens [00:01:12]: So Fed Up Foods is a woman owned Wisconsin based artisanal canned goods company. So I purchased the business this past August. So I'm fairly new to it. However, it has been around for about five years. So it was started by a woman in central Wisconsin and her, her background, she was a produce buyer at the food co op and, and kind of different roles like that, very involved in the farmer's market and she saw a lot of produce going to waste and that was bothersome to her. Well, you know, and if you, we also own a farm, I'll talk about that more. But for a while I was getting produce from the grocery store, feeding it to our animals when it's, you know, there's a lot of beautiful produce, but you know, what happens to that produce after they can't sell it anymore. James Kademan [00:02:03]: So you would get the stuff that was blem essentially or just didn't look pretty. Carrie Stevens [00:02:07]: Yeah, or it was too, you know, I had been there for a couple weeks and it was okay, it was going mushy or whatever. James Kademan [00:02:14]: Pigs like it, humans don't love it. Carrie Stevens [00:02:15]: Right, all right. Yeah. And humans go, so, so anyways, what do you do with that, that produce as it's going bad or almost going bad and it's not selling? So the previous owner had started with Doing some home canning, home pickling. And in Wisconsin there's a pickle bill. So you can pickle at home and sell at farmers markets up to a certain dollar limit. James Kademan [00:02:40]: That's fairly new, right? Carrie Stevens [00:02:42]: You know, I don't know the, the history of it. James Kademan [00:02:44]: Okay. I mean last 10 years or something like that, I feel maybe, maybe. Carrie Stevens [00:02:49]: And then there's like there's the cottage baker law too. So that's a different one. Bakers, they can just bake in their house and sell. James Kademan [00:02:56]: Is there a limit like you can't for bakers? Carrie Stevens [00:02:58]: No, I don't, I, I do not believe so. But don't quote me on that. James Kademan [00:03:01]: Okay? Carrie Stevens [00:03:02]: Contact your lawyer for that. All right, fair. But for picklers canners there is a dollar limit. So Once you hit $5,000 in sales for the year, then for the year you flip over to not being under the pickle law. So the previous owner had grown, the business, passed the pickle law. So that means I now produce out of a commercial kitchen. I have all sorts of licenses and fun inspections. But that also means the product I'm producing is PH tested and I temp test everything so it is safe to consume. Carrie Stevens [00:03:41]: But that, so that started, she started from that under the pickle law, making it in our house, selling it at farmers markets and grew a business to where it's in retail stores, food co ops, kind of boutique stores or stores that specialize in local products. So shelf stable product that is taking a consumable product that is going to go bad and preserving it. So, so you can put it in your pantry and eat it when you get to it. So I purchased the business and have, am continuing the same recipes, getting restocked in the same stores, selling through website. We also sell it through our farm. So we have a customer base that purchases from our farm, so we sell through there too and just kind of looking at different new avenues as well. But it's been quite the learning experience we've started. My husband and I have started a business before but purchasing a business is a little different. Carrie Stevens [00:04:46]: So a lot of interesting learning but you know, good, bad and otherwise. Right. Some good things, some things that I'll change but it all is a good learning process. So, so it's been, been interesting and you know, little bumps through the, in the road. But you know, my husband keeps reminding me that one thing at a time and just it's. And it's going to take time. So with any, with anything it is going to take time to figure it out. I burnt a whole batch of pear sauce. Carrie Stevens [00:05:18]: And you burnt a whole. James Kademan [00:05:20]: How big is the whole batch? Are we talking a cauldron? Carrie Stevens [00:05:22]: Like a hundred? Some jars. James Kademan [00:05:24]: Well, that's a fair amount. Carrie Stevens [00:05:25]: That's a fair amount. Yeah. I mean, but my kids still like it, so. Hey. James Kademan [00:05:28]: Oh, well, there you go. Maybe it's a new product. Right? Carrie Stevens [00:05:30]: Burn. So white elephants at Christmas. Going to be fun. James Kademan [00:05:34]: If people drink Zima, they'll eat burnt pear sauce. Right? Carrie Stevens [00:05:38]: I mean, it's not totally burnt. It's just a little burnt. James Kademan [00:05:40]: All right. A little t. It's charcoal, right? Like, what is that, tequila? Carrie Stevens [00:05:43]: Like a zest of charcoal. James Kademan [00:05:47]: Tell me. So you have a farm that you butcher stuff at, right? Carrie Stevens [00:05:51]: Yeah. So we raised beef, cattle, pigs, chickens, chickens for meat and chickens for eggs and sell all direct to consumers. So we purchased the farm seven years ago, moved onto the farm. It'll be six years ago this fall and pre pandemic. So fall of 2019, we took our first steers to the butcher, sold to friends and family. And then when the pandemic hit, I said to my husband, and maybe I should have taken these words back, but I said, hey, I think we can sell this. And now we. So that was fall of 2019, when we took two steers into the butcher. Carrie Stevens [00:06:33]: Now we take anywhere from three to five steers into the butcher every month. And we do about 50 pigs a year. I did 450 meat chickens last year. I'm gonna double it this year. James Kademan [00:06:50]: Wow. Carrie Stevens [00:06:51]: Because I sold out in about two weeks. James Kademan [00:06:53]: Holy cow. Carrie Stevens [00:06:55]: Yeah.

She dives deep into the mindset shifts that helped her release scarcity, trust her intuition, and stay grounded during the uncomfortable transition from generalist to specialist — including the difficult moments, the doubt, and the imposter syndrome that every practitioner feels but few talk about. Baley also opens up about her recent personal diagnosis, how it changed the way she approaches self-care, and why focusing on her own wellbeing is now a non-negotiable. The conversation then explores her decision to expand her team and bring on her first associate doctor. From getting ghosted by a potential hire to a wild "full-circle moment" where her future associate turned out to be the same student she contacted over a year earlier, Baley shares what it really looks like behind the scenes when your business grows faster than you expected. This episode is a must-listen for practitioners navigating early growth, niching decisions, burnout cycles, or the fear that comes with leveling up. Baley's story is a reminder that wealth is personal, alignment matters, and your practice gets easier when you build it *your* way.

I was recently a guest on Suzi Dafnis' HerBusiness podcast, and we had an amazing conversation about the challenges women entrepreneurs face.I share why it's so important to prioritize yourself.As business owners, we're often pouring from an empty cup.The solution? Start with a daily practice that tells yourself, “Me first, then everyone else.”I explain how doing so not only boosts your well-being but also improves what you give to your business and relationships.We also talk about the challenges when one partner grows in business and the other doesn't. It's important to communicate and support each other through it.Relationships need growth, and so do businesses.They're both powerful teachers in our lives, but we have to do the work to keep both thriving.Learn more about Suzi and the HerBusiness Network by following https://www.instagram.com/herbusiness/Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer?

“ It's really hard out there. Other people will beat you up. You don't have to do it to yourself.” - Jennifer Bisceglie This week on The Entrepreneur Gene - a featured series of Succession Stories - Host Laurie Barkman talks with Jennifer Bisceglie, Founder and Executive Vice Chair of Interos.

Are you one of those people constantly juggling time between your business, family, and self-care? What if the secret to building a successful business isn't about perfect balance, but about mastering repetition?Being a new parent, for instance, can drastically affect your day-to-day tasks, but the process is the same over and over. You don't need a total overhaul. Focus on tweaking your repeatable systems to manage both your business and personal lives.In today's Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos answers a question about balancing business as a parent. You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Balancing lifestyle and business as a parentLeveraging content creation while spending quality time with the familyImproving lead quality and conversion by prequalifyingShifting mindsetValuing personal time and increasing business efficiencyAs someone with an infant himself, Balazs suggests scheduling the week and documenting it to create content. Instead of going all in on fun and letting your business fall apart, or only working and neglecting your family, you can link the two by adding them to the calendar and then showing your process in managing responsibilities in reels or stories.Another key is knowing who you work with. When you're busy, you can't afford to waste time on people who aren't serious. So, prequalify your leads by setting up an application form that does the job for you. "Everything here is intertwined, but you still can't be working when you're with family, or else they'll feel neglected and ignored, and you're not present. So you still have to find a way to do this fun family activity while you also make content for the business." - Balazs W KardosCatch this episode to learn more about having a system that works for you and your family as you enjoy your freedom lifestyle in network marketing.Want a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

I'm so excited to share this intimate Q&A episode with you! These are the kinds of questions I get asked most often inside my coaching containers, from close friends, and honestly—the ones I ask myself too. In this conversation, I open up about how to know when it's time to evolve your message, the biggest leadership lessons I've learned this year, and what it really looks like to align your business with your highest self. I also dive into staying connected with your partner while building a business, why I don't believe in balance (but do believe in rhythms), how my relationship with my body has shifted over the years, and the role faith plays in everything I do. Plus, I share the ways I've learned to protect my energy while staying soft, open, and deeply loving. This episode is full of heart, honesty, and the behind-the-scenes truths I know so many of us need to hear. Liked this episode?

But only when and where that reciprocity can flow both ways.” - Julie Solomon  “ There are moments of the day that are going to require different rhythms based on the needs of my children, the needs of my partner, of my husband, and my needs, and I can no longer outsource that rhythm to someone else's idea of balance that is wrapped up in this, you know, curated and glorified idea around guilt. That's never made sense to me. I don't know how mom guilt is gonna somehow make me a better mother. I haven't figured that out yet, so I just don't relate to that. But I do relate to the necessary rhythm and just letting yourself off the hook when it comes to balance, because I don't think that it exists.” - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
