This is a unique episode where Max Vandenberg and I share the behind-the-scenes story of bringing Race Service and Ornamental Conifer all the way across the world to Germany for the Porsche Brand Store.

We had the chance to sit down in person while we were there and talk about exactly how this insane project came to be, and how we pulled it off against all odds! Moments like this don't normally get the chance to have their story told after all the dust settles, so I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite moments and stories about how it all came together.

This very well might be my favorite episode I've ever done! This week we sit down with the legendary Seth Godin!!! I can't believe I'm writing that!

James Kirkham is not only the co-founder of Race Service, but much more importantly, he is a dear friend and mentor who has changed my life for the better ever since the day we met.

He has an incredible story of never giving up and dreaming bigger than anyone I've ever met! He's sacrificed just about everything in pursuit of those huge dreams, but he is proof that if you never stop and want it bad enough, anything is possible. For that reason, this episode is one that I will forever cherish

Outside of work, we also talk about her desire to grow as a person, the value of understanding culture, and what she's doing now in her pursuit of fulfilling her purpose.

This episode is a little different from the others. I had a thought that I was inspired by and wanted to share it in a short episode. 

The main idea being - by taking pride in your work and owning your passions, you'll find the drive to master your craft and succeed. Find something you love and be unapologetically proud of it, even if it's just a hobby or side interest. By doing so, you'll attract the right people and have the fuel to keep improving and growing.

How do you know if and when it's time to make a career pivot or big life change? My dear friend Babs Szabo joins me this week to discuss that exact topic.

Babs had a remarkably successful career in music as a co-founder of Emo Nite & Ride or Cry, then ultimately decided to fully change it up and make a big life change in search of more happiness and fulfillment.

Both her and I have had similar experiences and know how scary it can be, so we wanted to share some of what we learned to try to help anyone else out there who may be feeling the same way.

THE PODCAST IS BACK!!! I figured this would be a perfect episode to come back with too. Gordy and I have been talking about doing more episodes together were we just chop it up as friends, talk about current topics, and share more insights into our personal work. This episode is exactly that!

I'm taking December off to record some more episodes and do some much needed podcast updates! Expect WAAMF back at the top of the year better than ever.

The first ever Ellise podcast is here! I'm so impressed by Ellise's story.
