  • 23. Beyond the Frame: Drew Isler of Deep Cut Collections on Building a Business You Love
    Jun 19 2025

    Get ready to hit play on an episode that's all about tuning into your true calling! 🎶

    We're thrilled to chat with Drew Isler, the brilliant mind behind Deep Cut Collections. What started as a heartfelt hobby of framing wedding dance songs for friends has totally transformed into a booming art gallery dedicated exclusively to music artwork. Talk about hitting the right note!

    🚀 Drew shares his incredible journey, from realizing his passion for framing vinyl records was more than just a side gig to pivoting his entire business to cater to fellow music lovers and even corporate rockstars.

    Get ready for some seriously good vibes and smart insights that'll have you feeling inspired to chase your own "deep cuts" in life! 🎧✨

    Drew started Deep Cut Collections by framing vinyl records as personalized wedding gifts, which organically grew into an art gallery solely dedicated to music artwork.

    ➤ Music creates a profound emotional connection, and framing iconic albums allows people to visually experience that nostalgia and motivation daily.

    ➤ Traveling, especially to places like Florence, can provide fresh perspectives and break you out of a creative rut, inspiring new approaches to business and life.

    ➤ Entrepreneurship requires a mix of intense hustle (like building a website) and being the face of your company by networking and marketing.

    ➤ You don't need to be an Einstein to start a successful business; perseverance, stubbornness, and a willingness to adapt are often more crucial than raw intellect.

    ➤ Knowing your niche and staying true to your brand, even when offered tempting deviations, is vital for long-term success and clarity.

    ➤ Finding mentors and being vulnerable about your needs can open unexpected doors and provide invaluable guidance, as many successful people are eager to pay it forward.

    ➤ Staying small for a bit longer allows you the flexibility to pivot and truly understand your business before scaling up too quickly.

  • 22. 7 Lessons from a 7-Figure Entrepreneur: Unlock Your Inner Boss!
    Jun 12 2025

    Get ready to level up your life and biz with some seriously mind-blowing insights!We sat down with the incredible Dr. James Jernigan, a true seven-figure entrepreneur, who dished out the wisdom like it was going out of style.

    From the power of putting others first to mastering your mindset and making decisions that actually serve your future self, this episode is packed with"aha!" moments that'll have you feeling like a certified life alchemist!

    We're talking about transforming your challenges into opportunities and finding your purpose to fuel massive growth. Plus, we spill the beans on our favorite spicy foods and natural deodorants (because, balance, right?!).Tune in and let's turn that lead into gold, together! 🚀✨

    Key Takeaways

    🌟Altruism fuels success: When your motivation is genuinely helping others, success and financial abundance often follow as a natural byproduct.

    🌟Address the root cause: Focusing on the underlying issues rather than just managing symptoms leads to lasting progress and healing.

    🌟Mindset is everything: Your beliefs and expectations (placebo and nocebo effects) have a profound impact on your outcomes and well-being.

    🌟Uncover hidden payoffs: Sometimes, we remain stuck in negative patterns because there's an unconscious benefit or "payoff"we're receiving. Recognizing this is the first step to change.

    🌟Decide in flow, notfear: Making decisions from a calm,present state (flow) leads to better long-term outcomes than decisions made in fight-or-flight mode.

    🌟Questions unlock wisdom: Instead of declarative statements that trigger an internal "BS alarm," asking questions prompts your brain to find solutions without judgment.

    🌟Love conquers all(especially fear): Coming from a place of love, whether for a purpose, others, or yourself, is the ultimate catalyst for personal and professional growth.

    🌟The importance of self-love: Cultivating self-love,often through altruistic or purpose-filled actions, is crucial for overall well-being and confidence.
