This is our LAST episode of 2023! We’re taking a break from the podcast until January 2024, so we hope you enjoy this ep and all the goodness we brought to your ears in 2023. Thanks for tuning in each week!

It’s been exactly one year since we made Portugal our new home and we have LOTS to share about the last 365 days!

In this episode, we dive deeper into the topic of business simplification by exploring offer complexity, marketing bridge complexity, and three other areas of complexity in your business. We chat about the importance of clarifying, pruning, and organizing to create a more calm and flexible biz, and provide practical tips for simplifying tasks, evaluating content channels, and documenting processes.

Another launch of our WAIM Unlimited (un-boring) coaching program is in the books and we’re sharing all the exciting recap details with you...

Our BIGGEST content project to date has come to an end and we want to share our initial findings, analytics, and emotions. There are a bunch of takeaways you can apply to your business too!

This week, we wanted to record an episode about simplifying your business, but also share how we look at a topic that might become one of our coaching sessions or a bigger article/video. If you like hearing how the proverbial sausage is made then you are going to LOVE this one! We walk through how we take an idea and concept and break it down, answer our own questions, and create frameworks that we can teach. We hope you learn something that you can apply to whatever skill you teach people AND some business simplification tips! Also, maybe a few walrus bucks or muffin hair laughs?? ➡️ Get the episode show notes and full transcript at wanderingaimfully.com/180 🔗 Calm Business Confidential: 👩🏻‍🦰 Carol’s pick: Delphine of Just-Patterns.com(digital pattern-maker) 👨🏻‍🦲 Jason’s pick: Julien Nahum of NoteForms (Notion form software) AND, if you have a calm business you think we should talk about, send us an email and share it!

We have this phrase around the WAIM office (aka our living room) that’s the “Straddling Strategist.” It’s the idea that so many people are straddling between two ideas or two businesses and can’t quite go all-in on either. This week, we share a pretty big update as it’s the future of our focus in our work! We sat down last week and had a 3-hour brainstorming meeting that resulted in coming to a decision about our monthly coaching plans for WAIM Unlimited (our un-boring coaching program) AND our small side business Teachery (an online course platform). In this ep, we share all the conversations we had and how we’re embracing feeling like JCVD straddling those semi trucks! We’re excited about “Project ALL-IN” in 2024 and hope you’re excited to go along on the ride with us. ➡️ Get the episode show notes and full transcript at wanderingaimfully.com/179 🔗 Calm Business Confidential: 👩🏻‍🦰 Carol’s pick: John D Saunders of johndsaunders.co (entrepreneur and agency founder) 👨🏻‍🦲 Jason’s pick: No biz this month as “his dog ate his homework.” AND, if you have a calm business you think we should talk about, send us an email and share it!

Last week, we announced one of our biggest content projects to date, the Calm Business Encyclopedia: 26 YouTube videos and articles that are an A-Z guide to helping you build a more predictable, profitable, and peaceful business. This week, we wanted to reflect on a few of the biggest takeaways we learned while taking on this monster of a project. Things like acceptance of how we work, the importance of extra project time, finding your motivators, and ignoring what other people are doing! We hope this episode is helpful and gives you some useful insights for whatever you’re working on next. ➡️ Get the episode show notes and full transcript at wanderingaimfully.com/178 🔗 Calm Business Confidential: We want to hear from YOU!

After 5 weeks of hard work, we’re excited to announce our big content project! While it might not look like much in the first few days as we’re releasing content daily, after 26 days it will be a rich library (heyo!) of information to help you build a more predictable, profitable, and peaceful business. In this episode, we talk about getting to the first finish line of the Calm Business Encyclopedia. But, that first checkered flag is only one of many and we still have a ways to go. How have our emotions changed throughout this project? And what are we hoping this project does for us? We talk about these things and much more! ➡️ Get the episode show notes and full transcript at wanderingaimfully.com/177 🔗 Calm Business Confidential links mentioned in the episode: Jason’s pick: Holger Sindbaek of WorldofCardGames.com and Online-Solitaire.com (web games) Carol’s pick: Khe Hy of RadReads (productivity guy/mentor) If you have a calm business you think we should talk about, send us an email and share it!

If you tuned into last week’s episode, you may have wondered if we survived the video recording “mud” we’d stepped into. Well, we’re happy to report we’ve turned a corner!

Welp, the title says it all, we had our WORST day of filming videos in 10+ years of working together. Let’s talk about what went wrong and what we learned!

How are we avoiding burning out with our 26-day content blitz project? And how the heck do you avoid feeling completely overwhelmed when staring at a HUGE to-do list??

We LOVE 30-day challenges but we haven’t done one as it relates to creating content in quite awhile. Welp, that’s all about to change with a content blitz we’re embarking on starting this week!

Weeeeeee’re back from our summer sabbatical! We kick things off by sharing a slightly new format for our podcast including a new segment called Calm Business Confidential.

It’s a grab-bag episode, folks! We’ve steered clear of talking about AI but decided to dip our toes into the topic this week while also sharing that we’re taking our summer sabbatical from content creation.

What does it mean to run a business that’s barely visible to the outside world? Without social media or consistent new content, can a business be successful and profitable?

It’s Part 2 of 2 in a short interview series where we interviewed ourselves (lol!) This week, Jason is the interviewer and Caroline is the interviewee. Will Jason ask any questions not related to cinnamon rolls? Tune in to find out!

We are mixing it up the next two weeks and decided to interview… each other! This week, Caroline grabs the mic and asks Jason some hard-hitting questions about childhood, the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey, and more!

It’s a money episode! Moneysode? Let’s chat about the big inflection points in our lives as it relates to money and how you can implement some of the decisions we made into your life (if it feels right to you!)

Who out there LOVES a launch recap as much as we do?? Well, you’re getting all the details this week as we break down our *gulp* best launch yet of WAIM Unlimited!
