After a 15+ year career as a producer on high-profile television shows, Shannon Russell needed a change. She found herself spending too much time commuting and missing things in her kids' lives that she wasn't feeling good about. So she made a change, segued into a ‘second act,' if you will. She now runs a successful STEM education franchise. She is passionate about teaching kids how to build and think like engineers. After her successful transition, friends and acquaintances looked to her for help in making their own transitions, so she launched Second Act Success, a podcast and coaching practice where she helps women find their own successful ‘second act.' Guest BioShannon Russell is a Career Coach and Host of the Second Act Success Podcast. After spending 16 years as a Television Producer, Shannon pivoted to open her own business running a successful franchise in her hometown. Now, as a certified Career Coach, Shannon added another venture to the mix with Second Act Success, where she coaches women on how to change careers, start a business, and follow their creative passions to the fullest in order to produce their best life. She lives at the beach in New Jersey with her husband, two boys, and her chow chow pup.Show NotesShannon Russell spent the first 15+ years of her career as a producer for MTV, which included all the fun and wild things you think it did. It was a career she loved and had been working towards since she was in the first grade. But at some point, she realized it wasn't fun anymore. Her commute was 2 hours each way, which meant she couldn't be the producer she wanted to be and she was missing things in her kids' lives that were making her feel bad. She realized her priorities had shifted and now she would rather be home with her kids than on a shoot somewhere exotic with some rock star or celebrity. When the show she was working on got canceled, she arrived at a fork in the road: she could either jump into the next project or figure out something that fit her life, family and priorities better. But being a TV producer was all she knew how to do and she didn't immediately see how her skills would transfer into something else. As a boy mom, she spent an inordinate amount of time playing Legos and wondered how she could find a job that would allow her to teach other kids how to build and think like engineers. She found a franchise opportunity called Snapology, which allowed her to be a business owner and yet have the support system necessary for someone who's never owned a business before. Once she got into it, she realized that her producer skills did translate. She was used to pitching shows to studios and celebrities. Now she was pitching classes and seminars to schools and other partners in the community. A producer takes ideas and brings them to life, which is kind of what growing a business is. Today, she owns one of the top Snapology franchises. The business has grown and is successful. Then a new idea started bubbling up. Talking with the moms of the kids who were in her classes, they asked how she went from being a producer to owning a franchise and teaching classes for kids. Then they asked if she could help them figure out their transition. She launched Second Act Success as a podcast, which has turned into career coaching and courses on transitioning into your second act. In this episode, you will learn:1. How Shannon Russell transitioned from a successful career in television to owning a successful franchise business.2. How she used her television producer skills to build her business.3. The value of coaches, whether in your personal or professional life4. Sometimes, the path to happiness and fulfillment is not a straight line.

Snapology Founder and CEO Laura Coe talks about her company and how it provides interactive, STEM / STEAM programs for children featuring technology and/or popular building toys (such as LEGO® bricks and K'Nex® toys).

Laura Coe is the Co-founder & CEO of Snapology. Snapology was founded by Laura and her sister Lisa Coe. They decided to start their business after seeing the love their children had for creative play using building blocks and other materials that snap together. Laura found that her son's love of LEGO's helped calm him down when he was dealing with mild behavior issues. She looked for local programs that he could join, but could not find any that fit. Together the sisters came up with the idea of offering enrichment classes and camps to teach science, technology, engineering, mathematics, art and literacy concepts.Today we are discussing with Laura the history and present growth trajectory of this wonderful kids franchise. Snapology is a low cost, home-based, mobile business teaching robotics and STEAM principles through classes, camps, parties and other events. At Snapology, they understand that children are meant to learn through play. When children are actively engaged in hands-on, interactive learning activities, their creativity flourishes and they show a greater interest in school.

Laura Coe is the Co-founder & CEO of Snapology. Snapology was founded by Laura and her sister Lisa Coe. They decided to start their business after seeing the love their children had for creative play using building blocks and other materials that snap together. Laura found that her son's love of LEGO's helped calm him down when he was dealing with mild behavior issues. She looked for local programs that he could join, but could not find any that fit. Together the sisters came up with the idea of offering enrichment classes and camps to teach science, technology, engineering, mathematics, art and literacy concepts.Today we are discussing with Laura the history and present growth trajectory of this wonderful kids franchise.
