Summary
There’s this myth about being a grown-up, especially, being a parent, that it’s a time where the play ends and the serious work begins. That laughter and surprise and curiosity and spontaneity, very often the things that got you where you are, need to cede to more responsible behavior.
But, what if the exact opposite was true?
What if the real secret to a life well lived, was to never let them go. Better yet, to build your waking hours around them? That's what we’re talking about on today’s episode
My guest today is Tina Roth Eisenberg. Over the last 9 years, she’s founded:
- Swiss-Miss.com: A design-turned-lifestyle blog
- CreativeMornings: A breakfast conference for creative pros now hosted in more than 100 countries every month
- Tattly: An artist-driven temporary tattoo company
- Studiomates: A flourishing co-working space in Brooklyn, and
- TeuxDeux: A task-management app
All while raising a family and even documenting her son's epic 2-year old meltdowns at ItsHardBeingTwo.com. And it all seems to come from a place of deep service and play, a desire to connect with people and help them connect with each other.
By the end of this conversation, you'll be looking at business and life differently, and very likely searching the internet for confetti!
