Martinis and Your Money Podcast

Today is the last Friday of the month, and regular listeners know that on the last Friday of the month, we host the happy hour on the podcast, where we gather great friends to drink cheap drinks and talk about money topics. 

Since the beginning of this podcast, which now dates back over 8 years, we always had a set group of people who joined for these episodes. Starting in 2023, we're testing rotating seats for Happy Hour. This decision has come for a few reasons; first of all, the monthly commitment required to co-host the happy hour is difficult for people to make when they have other businesses and interests, as these seats are voluntary. 

Secondly, I've heard for years that many of you want to join a happy hour and share your thoughts. I'd love to listen to them because I have shared drinks with many of you in person and would love to do it virtually. Finally, this is an excellent way for us to amplify many of this community's voices and discuss topics you're passionate about. 

Joining us for this month's happy hour is a long-time listener, Rebecca, and the topic she wanted to cover is one that many of us are currently feeling or experiencing, and that's burnout. Rebecca shares why and how she knew she was in

In my first podcast episode of 2023 I talked about financial seasons and how I’ve witnessed a number of Financial Gym clients and honestly myself, feel as though we’re not in what feels like a winning season and addressing the motivation challenges that come to us when we feel like that. Seasons change, though, and I’m sensing more energy from my clients and I feel it in myself to make changes so I’m dedicating the month of April on this podcast to motivation and change and this episode and as well as last week’s, are addressing the topic of productivity.

I feel like the pandemic threw a number of our routine’s out the window and where we may have gained time with less commuting and more work from home options, I think a number of us have struggled with finding a good balance between life and work. 

Joining me today is Mike Vardy, coach and host of the Productivityist podcast to talk about the idea of time crafting and manage and craft our days to work better for us. And now here’s Mike.

In early 2023, I talked about financial seasons and how I’ve witnessed several Financial Gym clients and, honestly, myself, feel as though we’re not in what feels like a winning season and the motivation challenges when we feel like that. Seasons change, though, and I’m sensing more energy from my clients. I feel it in myself to make changes, so I’m dedicating the month of April on this podcast to motivation and change. 

Today I’m addressing the topic of productivity. I feel like the pandemic threw a number of our routines out the window, and where we may have gained time with less commuting and more work-from-home options, I think a number of us have struggled with finding a good balance between life and work. 

Joining me today is Jeff Sanders, author and host of the 5 AM Miracle Podcast, to talk about the one small change he made in his day that literally changed the trajectory of his life.

I’m excited to kick off the month with Abagail and Emylee, the two business fairy godmothers behind the Boss Project and co-hosts of the chart-topping podcast, The Strategy Hour. They joined me to talk about how uniting their separate practices made them a better team, how they help their business owner clients reignite their offerings, and build the businesses they want to run. Whether or not you run a business, there’s much to learn and motivate you in this episode.
