Michael came loaded with a list of 15 ideas, and we talked through each one, from a browser plugin that detects AI-generated content to an AI that replaces $10K/day EOS consultants. We also got into fun and low-cost offline businesses like old-timey photo booths and gold-panning kiosks for malls, plus more strategic plays like a marketplace for forgotten businesses and a fund that offers minority buyouts to small business owners. We even explored how to reimagine EOS from the ground up to be fully AI-first.

If you have thought about entering the wine trade but really don't think you would be much of wine winemaker...but you really feel like you are going to love it. It actually took me many years to "love" it but hear this story. Armen is getting ready to quite his day job... head down and make it work. And you  know, it is working. Armen Ghazikhanian didn't so much dive into the wine business as wander in with curiosity, a keen palate, and a spreadsheet in his back pocket. You'll come away from this episode with more than just a newfound respect for Armenian wine; you'll discover how a career in finance can lead to the art of curating bottles that carry centuries of culture and a whisper of volcanic terroir. Armen reveals how his passion-driven side gig, Cork and Bottle, was forged as much by personal connections and boots on the ground in remote Armenian villages as by business school savviness—only to discover that the wine industry plays by its own rules entirely. Along the way, you'll learn about the surprising renaissance of Armenian winemaking after the Soviet era, why indigenous grape varieties like areni and voskehat are turning the heads of wine judges and sommeliers, and what happens when you take a risk importing unknown bottles to the US, hoping they don't just satisfy your friends but spark conversation in wine shops and restaurants across California. Through anecdotes of smuggling bottles, weathering the red tape of international logistics, and winning unexpected gold at wine competitions, Armen shares what it means to balance romanticism and reality in the wine trade. Hosts and listeners alike will come away with a deeper appreciation for how wine isn't just a drink, but a powerful carrier of memory, tradition, and entrepreneurial risk—all told with Armen's self-effacing humor and Paul's insider understanding of the business. And if you've ever wondered whether a grape from the South Caucasus can go toe-to-toe with a California cab, this episode might just send you to the nearest shop asking for a bottle of “Areni”—even if you're not quite sure how to pronounce it.   #WineTalksPodcast #ArmenianWine #CorkAndBottle #WineImporter #WineCulture #PassionToProfession #IndigenousGrapes #WineBusiness

This week Karen is joined by Artisan Perfumery Mastermind alumni Gabrielle Durand, the founder of natural fragrance brand ‘On the Nose’ perfumes. After a long career in the corporate world of HR, Gabrielle decided to take a leap of faith and follow her lifelong dream of being a perfumer. Changing your career late in life can be a very daunting prospect, but Gabrielle was determined to succeed. In this inspirational interview with Karen, Gabrielle takes us, step by step, on her journey from day job to dream job. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gabrielle had a long and successful career in HR, however the bug to be a perfumer was one that hadn’t left her since childhood. She recounts to Karen how a chance encounter with online learning led her into her dream career at the tender age of 50. Gabrielle started making perfumes as a test. Confident that she could make it into a business, it wasn’t until her friend and family started asking for refills that she realised other people were taking it seriously too. She explains to Karen how this spurred her on to take the leap into full time perfumery. The lessons Gabrielle learned in the corporate world served her well when she launched her new perfume business. She details how she used her learnings to make sure her brand was ready to launch and how it allowed her to communicate her style and vision effectively. A lot of people carry around the misconception that it’s too late to try something new. Gabrielle, who came to perfumery in her 50’s, explains to listeners why it’s never too late to make a change. BEST MOMENTS “It's not just about getting your product to a customer, it’s about making that experience valuable and memorable.” “In a year, you’re going to be a year older and you’re still going to be questioning if you should make a change. So do it now.” “It’s not just about getting the perfume right, it’s also about getting the packaging and design right.

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! Do you feel the pull to write your book but find yourself procrastinating, doubting your abilities, or waiting for the perfect moment to start? What if the very resistance you're facing is a sign you're on the right path? In this episode of Alchemy for Authors, I'm diving into the hidden messages behind creative resistance — what it's really trying to tell you and how you can move through it. I'll share why resistance often shows up strongest when you're about to create something meaningful, along with practical tools and mindset shifts to break through fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism. If you've ever wondered why writing your book feels so hard—and whether that struggle means you're not cut out to be a writer—this episode is your reminder that resistance isn't a stop sign... it's a compass guiding you toward the work you're meant to do.

Daily Study: I teach a lot about being focused in your calling. However, there are seasons that require you to divide your focus between a day job and your calling. In those seasons, it is not a lack of faith to do both—if it is directed by God. When God leads you to stay on the day job, it is because your day job is part of His strategic plan to get you to where you need to be. In today's study, see how the Apostle Paul used his tent-making business (a.k.a Day Job) to support and succeed in his calling.

It's easy to leave a job when you're miserable. It's way harder when you're happy. And David Wise loves his day job.  And that's why the 34-year-old freeskier has decided to push to make his fourth Olympic Team despite being one of the older competitors in freeskiing.  "I still love going out there and grinding and doing this day in and day out, and so I don't want to stop before I feel like I'm done," David said.  David is a three-time Olympian who has won two gold medals and a silver in ski halfpipe.  His trophy case is full of titles and awards he's won since he was a teenager. At 34, he's a veteran of his sport. But that's not the only thing that makes him stand out.  David is also married and a father of two.  That's unusual in his sport and he's always said having a family has given him a balance many athletes lack. His daughter homeschools and sometimes travels with him to training and competitions. "Now, my daughter's 13 years old," Wise said. "She has teenager problems." On this Dying to Ask:  How to know if you're really happy at work  The question David asked himself and his family when deciding to go for a 4th Olympic Team. What David is not willing to do to stay in his job And advice on how to achieve work-life balance from an Olympic dad   Check out my TV story on David Wise here:    Other places to listen CLICK HERE to listen on iTunes CLICK HERE to listen on Stitcher CLICK HERE to listen on Spotify

Die Berliner Rapperin bleibt sich auch nach 20 Jahren und auf ihrem fünften Album "Pretty World" treu – und ist damit wichtiger denn je. Die Bezeichnung "singender Sozialarbeiter" wurde manch einem Liedermacher verpasst und hat oft ein G'schmäckle von "Betroffenheitslyrik". Insofern ist Vorsicht geboten, Lena Stoehrfaktor eine "rappende Sozialarbeiterin" zu nennen. Denn, ja, sie ist Sozialarbeiterin und, ja, sie rappt. Und natürlich fließen die Erfahrungen aus ihrem "Day Job" in ihre Musik ein. Aber was sie daraus seit über zwei Jahrzehnten strikt im Do-It-Yourself-Ethos macht, hat – Nomen est omen – nichts mit romantischer Verbrämung zu tun. Nicht zu Unrecht urteilt der Tagesspiegel: "Als Rapperin und Sozialarbeiterin kämpft Lena Stoehrfaktor für Freiräume in den Köpfen der Menschen." Auch auf ihrem kürzlich erschienenen fünften Album "Pretty World" lassen geschmackvolle Beats bouncen und mitnicken, bleiben melodische Hooks im Ohr – und wirken die direkten Texte lange nach.

Turning a side hustle into a full-fledged day job is an ambition many share, but the journey is anything but straightforward. In this season of "Building Better Habits," hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche delve into the strategies, challenges, and mindset shifts required to transition a side hustle to a day job successfully. Below is a summary of their conversation, enriched with practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. The Mindset Shift: Taking Your Side Hustle to a Day Job One of the central themes in the episode is the distinction between treating a side hustle as a hobby versus a serious business endeavor. Side hustles often start as passion projects or supplemental income sources. However, as Rob highlights, to transition your side hustle to a day job, you must shift your mindset from “icing on the cake” to “building a foundation.” This involves seeing your side hustle not just as a way to earn extra money but as a business that demands focus, consistency, and strategic planning. Michael emphasizes the importance of defining success early on. Whether your goal is creative satisfaction, financial freedom, or professional growth, clarity around your “why” will guide your decisions and ensure you stay aligned with your vision as you turn your side hustle into a day job. Why Focus Is Key When Turning a Side Hustle to a Day Job A recurring challenge for side hustlers is the temptation to take on every opportunity that comes their way. Michael shares his own experience of rebranding his business from a broad consulting service to a niche company focused on quality assurance and test-driven development. This shift allowed him to streamline his offerings, making his brand clearer to clients and his work more enjoyable. Both hosts stress the value of niching down. Instead of trying to serve everyone, focus on a specific audience or service. For example, if you're a web developer, decide whether you want to specialize in creating websites for photographers, startups, or e-commerce businesses. By narrowing your focus, you can position yourself as an expert in your field, a crucial step in transitioning your side hustle to a day job. Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Growing Your Side Hustle to a Day Job Rob discusses the dangers of saying “yes” to projects or tasks that don't align with your brand or goals. These detours can dilute your identity and consume valuable resources, leaving you overwhelmed and disconnected from your original vision. He advises entrepreneurs to evaluate every new opportunity through the lens of their long-term goals. If a project doesn't align with your core mission, it's okay to say no—or, better yet, refer it to someone else in your network. This protects your brand and fosters partnerships that can lead to mutual growth. Building Habits to Transition Your Side Hustle to a Day Job As your side hustle grows, the need for delegation becomes inevitable. Rob encourages listeners to document repetitive tasks and think about how they might eventually hand these off to a team member or contractor. This step is crucial for scaling your business without becoming overwhelmed. Michael shares an example of using AI tools to simplify complex tasks like code reviews and testing. While not a substitute for expertise, these tools can save time and allow you to focus on higher-value activities. The lesson is to leverage technology and systems to optimize your workflow and free up your time for strategic decision-making. Resources for Making Your Side Hustle a Successful Day Job Rob and Michael recommend several resources for those looking to take their side hustle to the next level: Books: The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss offers actionable advice on delegation and automation. Podcasts and Talks: Gary Vaynerchuk's content and TED Talks provide inspiration and insights into entrepreneurship. Networking: Join local business communities, like the Chamber of Commerce, to learn from others who've walked the same path. The Habit Challenge: Aligning Actions with Vision The hosts propose a habit-forming exercise to help entrepreneurs stay focused. For seven days, identify one activity that doesn't align with your business vision. Spend five minutes brainstorming how you could outsource or eliminate it. This practice builds awareness and sets the stage for long-term growth by encouraging you to focus on tasks that truly matter. Final Thoughts Transitioning your side hustle to a day job is both exciting and challenging. It requires a combination of focus, discipline, and adaptability. By clearly defining your niche, building systems for growth, and aligning your actions with your long-term vision, you can turn your side hustle into a thriving career. As Rob aptly concludes, “Success isn't just about paying the bills; it's about building something you truly love.” So, take the leap, stay focused, and embrace the journey of becoming a full-time entrepreneur.

In this final part of my conversation with Susan Merrell (author of Shirley: A Novel, teacher in the MFA in Creative Writing & Literature at the Lichtenstein Center of Stony Brook Southampton, and co-creator, with the novelist Meg Wolitzer, of the BookEnds Fellowship novel revision program) we talk about where her personal throughline is leading her next and she shares how she's been writing two different books for the last eight years (OMG). We covered: • Her two current book projects: one about a man haunted by a story he's read and another about living full-time in a “vacation town” thought to be abandoned in winter • Real estate privilege • The books she includes on her writing syllabus and why • Finding inspiration in everything, including cereal boxes • Giving up the plum nature of her current life vs chasing the dream. • Her friend's philosophy—whatever move you make tends to be the one your feet took you to • Why silence is her pick-me-up of choice • Her friend's magnificent roasted chicken Connect with Susan at susanscarfmerrell.com.
