    Bet on Yourself - Launching Your Own Company

    After suddenly and necessarily leaving a job she loved, Maggie McClure faced a future without an income. Trusting her instincts and her skills as an operational process genius, she forged a path forward to create her own company, Fractional Magic. In this episode we talk the feelings that come with leaving a job, how to decide what's next, and the steps to opening your own LLC.  About the Guest:  Maggie McClure is a woman who can out-processize the pants off any problem while cracking jokes that'll make you snort-laugh. This self-proclaimed "most capable class clown you'll ever meet" found herself in a bit of a pickle when she suddenly bid adieu to her cushy job (for reasons that any humane person would totally understand). With two hungry boys at home and the weight of being the family breadwinner on her shoulders, Maggie had approximately 72 hours to pull a rabbit out of her hat. Spoiler alert: She didn't just pull out a rabbit; she conjured up an entire business faster than you can say "trauma-induced diet plan." Drawing on her knack for turning chaos into clockwork, Maggie launched Fractional Magic, offering fractional operations management that's part science, part sorcery. Maggie's superpower? Creating connections between workflows, documenting clear processes, and making her clients' lives easier than a Sunday morning. Maggie proves that with the right mindset (and a healthy dose of humor), the only way is #upwardalways. https://www.fractionalmagic.com/ Resources Mentioned: Ikigai, The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life Ikigai Test Podcast Intro and Outro  Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/moire/new-life Thanks for listening!

    Say You're Sorry

    Conflict can be difficult, but it shouldn't be avoided. Sue Carter talks about how taking accountability, and saying sorry, can help build trust in relationships. Resources Mentioned: Radical Candor by Kim Scott About the Guest: Sue grew up in wartime Bosnia and at 17, after the war ended, immigrated to USA. She was placed in North Dakota and after earning her associates degree from ND State College of Science, she decided to attend Longwood University, where she got her bachelors and masters, both in sociology.

Besides working two jobs, Sue is also active in Rotary club and volunteers as an EMS/firefighter in training. She loves her husband, their dog, reading professional and personal development books, running, and yoga. And also traveling and learning about other societies and cultures.
