ATG 66: Break free from entrepreneurial poverty. My conversation with small business expert Mike Michalowicz
All It Takes Is A Goal
03/28/22 • 50 min
So, you started a business or a side hustle with an amazing vision. It fulfills you and it serves others. You dreamt it would give you plenty of time and money so that you could live the way you please. However, the reality is that you’re not making enough, you’re working your tail off, and your soul is being diminished in the process.
If that’s you, my guest, Mike Michalowicz, the author of the wicked popular "Profit First," would say you’re in entrepreneurial poverty, but he’s here to change that. Mike is a speaker, author, and small business expert. He’s helped thousands of people around the world start businesses they love and grow them into thriving organizations. He joins me for a brutally honest conversation about coming back from extreme losses, prioritizing profit for your business or side hustle, and overcoming “superhero syndrome.” For more from Mike, check out his new book, Get Different.

ATG 34: Grizzly Bears and Gill Nets: Discovering what matters most in life with "Alone" Producer Ryan Pender
All It Takes Is A Goal
08/16/21 • 41 min
You’re completely alone in the wilderness. You only have 10 pieces of gear. If you can tough it out longer than nine other people, you win $500,000. Also, there are bears. And maybe a wolverine here and there. How long do you think you would last?
This is the actual premise of one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Alone. One of the show’s producers, Ryan Pender, joins me this week to tell me the surprising lessons people learn about life and themselves when they’re completely isolated and solely focused on their survival. Even if you haven’t seen a single episode, you’ll love this conversation and how lessons from the wilderness can apply to your life.

ATG 110: Two Words That Will Set Any Goal Up for Success
All It Takes Is A Goal
01/30/23 • 24 min
For years, I used the “Goldilocks” method when I started new goals - nothing too big, nothing too small. Needless to say, it never got me where I really wanted to be. Then I finally discovered that I was doing the dreaming phase of goals all wrong. I learned that at this critical stage of planning goals, there are two words that are like rocket fuel for your goal. These two words will give your goal the oomph it needs to actually get off the ground and keep you moving forward when challenges arise. Tune in to find out what they are!

ATG 118: Dare to Dream Big: Master the Art of Boldness for Goal-Driven Success with Jennifer Cohen
All It Takes Is A Goal
03/27/23 • 47 min
What does it take to live the life you truly want? In today's episode, I explore this question with author Jennifer Cohen. Jennifer shares her belief that boldness is a learnable skill and reveals an approach that can help you overcome the fear of failure. We discuss the importance of vulnerability, embracing failure, and creating daily habits that lead to success. Jennifer also offers valuable advice on the difference between bold moves and big risks, while emphasizing the significance of not putting others in harm's way.
My favorite was hearing Jennifer's journey from being a self-proclaimed "master of failing" to having a "PhD in getting right back up again." Plus, you won't want to miss our playful debate on who would win in a fight between Paw Patrol and Clifford the Big Red Dog!
Join us for an entertaining and empowering conversation that will challenge you to embrace boldness and create the life you've always dreamed of. Are you ready to be bold?

ATG 68: How to make 200 million cookies from a college dorm room – My conversation with Tiffany Chen
All It Takes Is A Goal
04/11/22 • 36 min
In 1999, Tiffany Taylor accidentally stood up Leon Chen for a date (she was ice skating at the mall with a friend). As an apology, she baked and delivered a batch of warm cookies, and the concept of warm cookie delivery was born. Shortly afterward, the pair launched Tiff’s Treats with just $20 and a big dream during their sophomore year at the University of Texas. Since then, the founders have married and their business has grown to include 68 stores and more than 1700 employees. Co-founder and author, Tiff Chen, joins me for a conversation on starting the entrepreneurial life at such a young age, dealing with pushback, managing the roles of spouse and business partner and so much more. For more from Tiff and Leon, check out their brand new book, It's Not Just Cookies: Stories and Recipes from the Tiff’s Treats Kitchen.In this episode:
