Join us for a LIVE finale show of the Refund where we return the concept that you cannot radically transform your career / business / work with guest and foodie + travel influencer Kimly Curry presented by lululemon Experiential at the Mall of America.

VC BABY. Let's talk about it. We hear the two words "venture capital" and think of Sicilon Valley (both the location and show on HBO. And yes, this guy F*CKS). As founders, regardless of size or stage of our business, we're always thinking about capital and how to acquire it in order to scale faster.

Should you listen to this podcast episode? What's for dinner? When does that contract need to go out? Am I ready to hire my first assistant? Welcome to the endless cycle of decision fatigue.

Let's talk about ENERGY. More specifically, masculine vs. feminine energy. How are you presenting yourself to the world? Do you tend to embrace a direct and on-to-the-next approach? Or are you more fluid and connected to those around you?

As Alec Baldwin infamously said in Glengarry Glen Ross: "A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. ALWAYS be closing, always be closing." Or if you've never seen that ICONIC FILM (which you should), you've probably heard the phrase "closers get coffee" or you think about being sold a car at a dealership.

It's here! The Refund's season one finale, LIVE from the Neu Neu in Minneapolis. During this live show, hosts Sara Schultz and Jordyn DiOrio rebrand the concept of "sacrificing" in their lives and business with honest and entertaining stories. Gone are the days of feeling like parts of us need to suffer in order to achieve our dreams. Cheers to living on our own terms.

In a world where hustling and grinding is fetishized every day in our culture and social media feeds, we are here to say NO MORE! We believe in creating harmony in our lives and businesses. HAVING A LIFE YOU SAY?! Yes. On this episode of the Refund we return the old idea that running a business = having no life.

Think about when you're aimlessly walking down an aisle at Target (with your Starbucks latte). What entices you to grab something new off the shelf? Is it the color combination? The funky packaging? Or the overwhelming "I gotta have this" feeling that takes control and before you know it it's in your cart? That my friends, is the power of branding.

OKAY, but who are we REALLY? In a world where we are told to do everything and be everything, it can be draining. And as business owners we cannot do it all, even when we try, (plus it's not even fun being stressed out all the time!) In order to truly focus on your goals and step into who you really are, you must understand where you feel elevated and where you need to delegate.

The old saying still rings true, you ARE the company you keep. But what happens if you need to FIND new company as you venture off into entrepreneurship? Running a business means surrounding yourself with a rad team of folks who support you, challenge you to be better and just GET IT.

As business owners, we're asked ALL THE TIME: "how are you scaling?", "are you growing fast enough?",  "do you have the capital to scale the business?."

On this episode of the Refund, we define and differentiate the difference between Growing and Scaling your business.

Yes, you read that title correctly, you CAN self fund a successful business. 💰 Adriana Carrig, a self-made, serial entrepreneur most known for her successful jewelry brand, Little Words Project, joins as our special guest.

As successful serial entrepreneurs running independent businesses, Jordyn DiOrio and Sara Schultz believe the world is better with MORE: more women owned businesses, more wealth, more magic, and more champagne 🍾 But before we can add MORE, we need to return old business 'rules' that are taking up too much space in our lives, holding us up from soaring and scaling our biggest dreams.
