How to live a life with passion. When you find your passion and have the courage to pursue it then you'll live a more fulfilling life.

Joined by Patti Compton, President at Music History Hall and Music Preserves Foundation. Patti tells you to trust your gut and build the life you desire.

Episode 30: Busy versus productive

Most people are stuck in the rut of answering "I'm busy" when asked how they are doing. What's the difference between busy and productive?

Busy = ineffective. Weak. Disorganized.
Busy is not a badge of honor.

Shift your focus from busy to producing results.

As a boss…I don’t care about how hard you work. I care about how effective you are. The results. The goal is to produce results.

Lets celebrate productivity today.

Thanks @andyfrisella for inspiring this episode and giving actionable advice. BTW...I’m loving your podcast #realaf and am binge listening on Spotify.

 

Plus, telling everyone about it! I strongly encourage everyone to tune in and listen to this smart, bold, inspiring podcast.

Shanetta McDonald, Kikoko

Founded in 2015 by former journalist Amanda Jones and tech entrepreneur Jennifer Chapin, Kikoko, a cannabis tea brand emerged as a solution for women to take back their health and life with more joy. Kikoko was created to help revolutionize women’s health after a mutual friend of theirs was looking for an alternative to pharmaceuticals to alleviate the pain, anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite and nausea she felt while battling cancer.

 

The goal of Kikoko is to make life easier for women and remove the stigma around cannabis in order for people, particularly women, to make healthier decisions. If cannabis can successfully make you a more tolerant mother, allow you to better cope with all the craziness in your life, then maybe it’s time to explore it as a viable option. Jones and Chapin encourage Kikoko customers to host private high tea parties where women can sample cannabis tea in a setting that’s non-intimidating. It’s fully legal in California to host a private event at your home and serve your guests marijuana tea (if they’re over 21).

 

The female founders ever offer step-by-step high tea guides, recipes, information to educate your guests, and the do’s and don’ts at www.KIKOKO.COM
