Episode 230: How to Stop Worrying About Money with guest Dakota Grady Regardless of your financial status, career type, or business you own, many of us worry about money. How to make it, keep it, and live debt-free. We aren’t taught how to manage our finances in school, so we often learn the hard way. Even if one appears to be making a significant amount of money, there is a good chance they aren’t managing it well. When a crisis hits, it can cause a lot of disruption, stress, and overwhelm. Or you may want to retire, but like the average American, you have very little savings. Not enough to create a comfortable life. So, what are you supposed to do? In this episode, financial coach, author, and speaker Dakota Grady joins us to help us understand how to stop worrying about money, change our stories, and begin to create generational wealth. Since 2010, Dakota has coached people on creating a budget, crushing debt, saving for emergencies, and moving toward their financial goals. He knows what it feels like to struggle financially, growing up in a low-income family of nine, living on welfare. Dakota was determined not to live a life of financial hardship as an adult and learned how to handle money wisely. If you are ready to go from crisis mode to financial security and transform your finances, tune into this episode.   Connect with Dakota: https://www.dakotagrady.com/ Connect with Carolyn: carolyn360.com

Episode 224: Having Fun with Video Games in the Workplace with Scott Novis We have entered a new era with more and more people working remotely.  It’s safe to say, many companies will permanently adopt some form of a hybrid workforce.  There are many reasons why working remotely is a good idea from cost savings to no more long commutes. However, a hybrid workforce does not come without challenges.  Many people find themselves working in isolation and feeling disconnected. They used to stop by a colleague’s desk or have lunch with a friend. There were after-work activities and celebrations for birthdays and major events.  People didn’t realize the impact these activities had on team building and keeping employees engaged. There was already very little fun at work, but now it’s almost non-existent. This new normal can easily lead to unproductive employees, lack of communication, and resignations. Is it okay to have fun at work? As a team member or leader, what can you do to create a strong team and create an environment where people, including you, are fully engaged and want to come to work? In this episode, Scott Novis discusses how playing video games, might just be what your team needs to go from surviving to thriving.    Connect with Scott: https://www.bravous.com/play Connect with your host, Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com
