Juliet Funt is a Productivity Wizard. She is a renowned Keynote Speaker, CEO, Author and tough-love advisor to the Fortune 500.   In this episode, Juliet gets into the tactics of how and what to do in order to create more space in your day and life. You’ll learn how to recognize that you’re doing too much, how Juliet helps companies and individuals reduce busyness and why space to recover, think, and be strategic, is the key to your efficiency.   If you are a person in constant rush, throwing your hands in the air right at the brink of burnout, Juliet discusses what you can do to create more space and give yourself permission to “Opt-Out”.   If you are employer, Juliet gives you actionable tools to avoid being a casualty of the great resignation, and retain your talent.   You’ll also hear Juliet break one of her own rules, and share her ultimate Why Not Now? story; a story that she has never shared during a podcast interview before that involves her traveling to 14 countries in 2 years whilst still running her business and schooling her 3 children. Lastly, Juliet gives you her step approach to dealing with anxiety around email, managing our inboxes and scheduling meetings.   Juliet’s new book “A Minute To Think” is out now.   Learn more about Juliet here: https://www.julietfunt.com/   Enrollment for the next Renegade Accelerator is now open.

Sandra Campos is a three-time CEO, having led some of the biggest retail and fashion brands in the world. She is also a two-time founder, a member of multiple private and public boards, a contributor on CNBC and an absolute expert on the consumer.   One of the things that stands out most about Sandra is her ability to understand the macro picture of things - whether that be culturally, or when it comes to her personal life.   In this episode, Sandra shares a life changing Why Not Now? moment that has influenced everything she has done since. This moment in time ultimately became the best career move she has ever made. Sandra explains the pivotal events that led her to a crossroads of having to either look for a job in corporate America, or create an entrepreneurial experience that would enable her to forge a balance between career and family. She took a leap of faith, chose the latter, and the rest is history.   Sandra explains how she arrived at making the decision, how that applies to your own decision making process, and why you should think entrepreneurially even if you aren’t an entrepreneur.   You’ll learn what makes Sandra so decisive, how she considers decisions and the tools she uses in her decision making process.   Sandra is someone that doesn’t sit still very often, but she has learned to take the time to appreciate the things in her life. She shares why focusing on what truly matters, being happier and more content will lead to more productivity naturally.    Learn more about Sandra, here: https://www.instagram.com/sandracamposnyc/ Watch the full episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/AfKRwhdgsq4   Get Amy Jo’s newsletter: amyjomartin.activehosted.com/f/21 Follow Amy Jo… Facebook: www.facebook.com/AmyJoMartin Twitter: twitter.com/AmyJoMartin Instagram: www.instagram.com/whynotnow/ Buy Amy Jo’s Book: amyjomartin.com/book

Her new book “Lessons In Leadership” is out now.

This is the final episode of Amy Jo’s 3 part series all about reinventing your relationship time and money. We encourage you to listen to Part 1 (Ep 313) and Part 2 (Ep 314) before pushing play on Part 3. In this last installment, Amy Jo focuses on the money side of things. To be clear, this is not investment advice, but you will learn how to potentially earn more and save more. Amy Jo shares her specific money story and how that has changed over the last ten years. The net/net? Sacrifice does not equal success. Period. Our earning potential is highest when we are expanding our capacity and optimizing our bandwidth. Sometimes that means spending money to create more time. Amy Jo explains how. She also shares what she is looking at specifically in her budget, and how she uses that data to determine if she is operating at her full earning potential. You’ll learn the importance of assigning a value to your hours, and start making decisions based on the value of your time, as well as the difference in approaching finances from a confident place as opposed to doing so out of fear, and with a scarcity mindset. Finally, Amy Jo takes you through the 5 Renegade Rules as a refresher so you can apply the rules to what you’ve learned over the last 3 episodes and beyond.
