b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck


Nov 22, 2022

You want something, you work with people to get it done, the end.

<p>

But what if that’s not the way you create real success? What if instead, it’s all about continually planting seeds – or magic beans – that will grow into things you haven’t even thought were possible?

<p>

<p>

This week, Erin tells a story about how some magic beans she planted are growing into donuts. Well, a speaking gig at a donut company. She then reflects and reverse engineers how things like this come about, reflecting on the biggest lessons she’s learned as an entrepreneur, and how you can apply those lessons to your corporate career.

<p>

<p>

In this week’s episode we’re sharing 3 simple ways to plant these beans that will grow into mind-blowing, unexpected success.
