Magic Mind contains minimal caffeine, and the caffeine it does have comes from the matcha tea. It also has all natural ingredients, adaptogens to help decrease stress and nootropics to boost blood flow and cognition.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Brit Kolo from Marketing Personalities. Brit first joined me on the podcast back in 2019 to talk about how to use your Myers Briggs personality type to decide what type of marketing to do in your business. In this episode, we're taking it one step further to talk about how to make strategic business decisions that feel aligned. Often times when we're not making decisions that feel aligned, we can feel burnout or resentful towards our work and our business and we share tools and strategies to fall back in love with your business and feel aligned with the work you're doing and the clients that you're working with. 

Enjoy!
