Episode 06: Momentum + Doubt

November 16, 2018

In this episode, Elise & Scott Grice open up about their insecurities, self-sabotaging beliefs, and internal battles with the slippery slope of vanity metrics, growth, “6-figures,” perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the “cool kids” club.

“Growth, in its most simplistic form, means something is changing, developing, and becoming something new. But we so often tell ourselves that what we’ve experienced in the past will be true for us again in the future. Which is the opposite of what growth means. Growth means it’s going to be different in the future.”

Episode 05: Minimalism + Distractions

November 7, 2018

In this episode, Elise & Scott Grice open up about their journey to redefine the “American Dream” by downsizing their home, simplifying their business, eliminating their to-do list, and prioritizing their lives, time, health, and freedom.

“Our identity gets so wrapped up with our physical belongings here on earth, when in reality our worth—our self-worth—has nothing to do with what we own. And untangling that and separating ourselves, our identities, and our worth from what we own and how much money we make is a journey we all have to go on.”

Episode 04: Mistakes + Failure

October 29, 2018

In this episode, Elise & Scott Grice open up about the unglamorous side of entrepreneurship, including the painful mistakes, costly failures, messy growing pains, big pivots, and battles with burnout, balance, identity, and leadership fatigue.

“If you’re looking for a sign to remind you why you’re called to create, lead, and make something bigger than yourself … then this is it. This is your sign telling you that you don’t need a sign. Because by showing up day after day, despite how not ready you feel, you’re already doing everything you need to do to achieve everything you were meant to achieve. And the only sign you really need is the glass ceiling above you, which was always yours to break.”
