You might think being quarantined with your work partner AND your life partner could be challenging, but Heidi Zak and Dave Spector, married co-founders of intimate wear company, ThirdLove, have mastered this balancing act. Erica chats with Heidi and Dave about how they’re running their company and their family together during quarantine. You’ll hear all about their Wellness Wednesday initiative, getting silly with their teams on Doughnut Tuesday, and how quarantine finally encouraged consumers to give online bra shopping a try—something digitally-native ThirdLove was ready for and built for from the ground up.  Please Subscribe, Rate and Review on Apple Podcasts You can also listen to the show on: StitcherOvercast GoogleSpotify Resources:7:21 – Dave on this new working normal: “The challenge really has been so much of work, certainly in this country, is bumping into people—the water cooler conversations, right? And whether it’s about work or not about work—if it’s not about work it’s that bonding; building a relationship with somebody about their personal life or what they did last night. Or it is about work, or they’re mixed together. And that kind of conversation—the impromptu, the bumping into somebody, the going over to their desk—is frankly a lot easier than scheduling something—a meeting or having to Slack or email somebody. And I think the challenge that we face, like so many other companies—and we’re adapting too—is how do we recreate that?” 11:50 – Dave on Wellness Wednesday: “If we’re giving you the day off, the commitment is you’re not doing work, and you’re having a day for yourself. And if the day for yourself means catching up on Netflix, great. If it means playing with your kids, great. If it means time alone, awesome. But the important thing is you’re taking time for yourself to focus on your mental health.” 20:06 – Heidi on the rapidly digital relationship with customers: “I think you’re seeing today the shift from offline to online that might’ve taken three to five years occurring in six to eighteen months...I just think people are really thankful to have options that can work and make them feel safe, right? And also with a really high service level.”ThirdLoveErica’s websiteErica’s book, Bring Your Human to WorkText ‘human’ to 66866 to sign up for Erica’s newsletter where she shares how to honor relationships well and how to bring your human to work and life. Connect with Heidi and Dave:Heidi:InstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebook Dave:InstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebook ThirdLove:InstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebook Connect with Erica: InstagramTwitterLinkedInFacebook

013: 10 Best business practices for Interior Designers. by Timothy Murenzi

It may come as a surprise that Jiu-Jitsu has been my teacher in learning the best business practices. The things I learned in martial arts have translated into business. Listen to these detailed steps outlined in this episode. When you follow them, you will significantly increase your business.   It’s all about beating the competition and becoming the best you can be for your customers. Just like in Jiu-Jitsu, you must find the leverage points that work best for you. Do you want to propel your business forward? Take some lessons from Jiu-Jitsu with me and learn how. Lesson number one: To beat big you have to go small The temptation in business is to try to act like a big business. You may think it makes you more legitimate and gains you respect. But when you do that, you lose leverage. The big brands don’t have the ability to connect with customers on a personal level. As a small business, this becomes your unique competitive advantage. In Jiu-Jitsu, if you’re facing an opponent who is stronger, you won’t be able to outmuscle them. You have to use leverage and technique. In the same way, use your connection with customers and make their experience with you really stand out. You will build your following, your brand, and ultimately, your business. Lesson number two: Pay for mentorship As you begin to build your business, you must then identify someone who has knowledge of your business. Be willing to pay for their guidance and diligently put into practice what they teach. It’s all about learning how to fulfill your greatest potential. A good mentor knows that success in business is not just about the numbers, but also how to become a better version of yourself. That will translate into better focus and productivity. Lesson number three: There are no shortcuts - getting good at anything takes hard work and time In Jiu-Jitsu, the average person does not have the ability to get a black belt. It takes years of dedication, sacrifice, and hard work. To succeed in business, the same is true. As you focus on mentorship and get the proper guidance to move further ahead in the race, you must continue to run to get to the finish line. You must run hard and put in the necessary work because there’s always someone right behind you. The competition is fierce. As you work hard and build a successful business, it makes you stand out from the rest. There are no shortcuts in building the kind of business you can be proud of. Take the time to build it well. Lesson number four: Technique - adhere to the best business practices - it’s all about the fundamentals The difference between good and great comes down to details and efficiency. This is true not only in Jiu-Jitsu but also in business. This lesson has been the most impactful in my business. To succeed, be mindful of habits you are building every day. Don’t get caught up in all the new tools and software. Focus on the vital few things that will propel your business above the rest. It always comes down to these four elements: Are you building your audience? Are you converting that audience into customers? Are you working to increase the average order value? Have you established systems to increase the frequency of customer purchases? Everything you do in your business should be judged against those vital few. This is how to drive your business forward. Stick with the solid fundamentals and master them. Lesson number five: Showing up is the hardest part Showing up and consistently putting in the work - that’s the hardest part. Success is a habit. Be mindful of what you spend time on and where your attention is every day. Keep track of this so you can see what habits you’re forming. In order to become consistent in Jiu-Jitsu, I had to create the habit of showing up routinely to train. I made this happen by keeping my uniform and everything needed in a bag, ready to go. Whatever it took to create the habit of going a reality, I did it. It’s the same in business. Once you sit down at your desk, you can focus on the work ahead of you. It’s easy to do emails and respond to comments, but be ready to do the hard work - the work no one wants to do. With each habit you are forming in your everyday business, ask if it’s moving you toward your target. If not, eliminate it or, at the least, be mindful and monitor it.

When we took the show on the road in 2018 (literally), we ended up at the desk of Angela Proffitt, celebrity wedding planner, connector, and small business guru. She is a treasure in Nashville. She has her own podcast and we were guests on it as well - Weddings Unveiled. She has an adorable accent. But the adorable stops there (well, it stops with her adorable Southern smile, I guess) and the badass begins as soon as you hear her talk about her business, her priorities, and her journey. Buckle up, Y'all! Big Takeaways Angela Proffitt is a Celebrity Wedding & Event Planner, Entrepreneur and Productivity Consultant with over 16 years of experience within the Events Industry. As the industry's leading creative disruptor, she has become a trusted resource and ally because of her commitment to exceeding the expectations of her clients and her passion for educating her audience. Her mantra "you don't know, what you don't know," fuels her books, online classes, live events, and consulting. Angela mixes her background in psychology and technology to plan and design for clients and businesses. It's a unique twist on your average wedding planning experience. She has been voted "Best Event Planner," by Nashville Scene, highlighted as having the "Best Business Practices" by Success Magazine, appeared on ABC Family in the “Job or No Job” series and TLC's “Extreme I Do's. Her extensive list of clientele have included: Kellie Pickler, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Patrick Carney of the Black Keys, Jason Aldean, Eddie George (former TN Titans player) to name a few. She currently serves as a consultant to growing businesses in the wedding industry. Angela delivers tools that enable industry professionals to best serve their clients and believes that everyone has the ability to change a couples overall experience; all they have to do is plan for it! Colors. There was a lot of eye opening stuff in this interview for us. The personality system ‘True Colors' is what Angela uses to staff, and to decide HOW to work with clients. (Link below) Sometimes, you just have to follow your heart. Even if that means canceling a lucrative reality show contract, knowing you are going to get sued, calling off an elaborate wedding very close to the wedding date and getting married alone on a beach. Sometimes you are Kellie Pickler and this happens to you. Hey! Be a crazy person that backs everything up on your computer! Learn from Angela! Be efficient. Utilize the cloud! Streamline! Adopt a system! Angela is a big fan of ‘time blocking'. It seems pretty awesome. It also seems like quite a project to get a handle on it...but once you do...BALANCE! Angela vets her clients before they even walk in (or call) for the initial consultation or intake. When a person inquires with her, they answer questions and share their Pinterest board, which pretty much tells Angela everything she needs to know. Because she is looking for specific things. (Based on the True Colors identifiers.) Apparently, it's pretty similar to Tony Robbins stuff. Opposites attract? Hmmm….Angela has a different take. Angela walks us through what the typical process is for her team when they plan a wedding with clients. The timeline is a well-oiled-machine and Angela has her team, including herself, utilized in a very specific capacity for every job. Systems in place. It's fascinating!

The short answer is: I stopped trying to plan my life around what I was ‘supposed' to do.” - Angela, on her origin story, in a nutshell (but there's way more to it, of course) “I said, you know what? I'm really proud of you. I don't give a shit about being on tv. This is about your love and about you starting a life. Marrying your best friend.” - Angela, to Kellie Pickler “Because I have worked my butt off to educate our market on the type of people that we serve...we really don't have to go through the qualifications too much because everyone that comes here knows the expectation. They know that we create an experience all around psychology and that we use technology.” - Angela, on how she stands out in the wedding industry “This was a strategy. This was intentional. And I am exactly where I am because I made it happen.” - Angela Get In Touch EMAIL: thebigweddingplanningpodcast@gmail.com FACEBOOK: @TBWPpodcast INSTAGRAM: @thebigweddingplanningpodcast BE SURE TO USE THE HASHTAG: #planthatwedding TWITTER: @TBWPpodcast PHONE: (415) 723-1625 Leave us a message and you might hear your voice on the show!

Key Takeaways: When coming up with a plan to follow for the New Year, it's important to find out what worked best in years passed.
