In this episode, I spoke with Paul Zolman who shares his journey from a background of anger to understanding the significance of love. Paul grew up in an environment that fostered anger, and he spent many years grappling with anger issues until he decided to make a change. After his divorce, Zolman utilized the concept of the Five Love Languages to develop a cube game aimed at helping him express love more effectively. The game serves as an educational tool for understanding and implementing the Five Love Languages in daily life. Understanding these love languages led him to a path of self-improvement and he believes that this game will do the same for others. We talk about the challenges of launching a new product-based business and the benefits of seeking out the right partners to outsource with.
Paul Zolman is a love language linguist. In other words, he knows all the love languages to give them away and has the ability to see them coming his way. You can too!

My guest today lives a unique lifestyle that most people would love to live. Jean Marie DiGiovanna lives home-free as a mobile businesswoman (she does not like to use the term digital nomad - and she explains why the term isn't quite right for her in the episode).  From how she got started, the lessons she's learned and the misperceptions of what this lifestyle takes to live - we cover it all! 
Jean Marie DiGiovanna is an international keynote speaker, leadership development expert,  certified executive coach and best-selling author.  With her body of work on Renaissance Leadership and over 25 years of experience across the globe, she helps leaders and their teams shift the way they think, lead and communicate rapidly creating a culture of increased trust, collaboration and innovation.
Join me as we talk about:
[00:00] Welcome Jean Marie DiGiovanna !
[02:33] Jean Marie does not consider herself a digital nomad - then how does she define her lifestyle?
[06:05] Jean Marie talks about the transition from having a home to being home-free. The challenge was as much mindset shifts as it was downsizing her things.
[08:56] Jean Marie talks about one unexpected benefit of her lifestyle and one mindset shift that people have a hard time with.
[11:17] What has been Jean Marie's favorite locations to date?
[12:45] A mobile lifestyle takes some mind shifts (and its not for everyone) but finding your best way to work might be one of the best things you can do in this lifestyle. You also need to make sure your own perceptions aren't holding you back from being successful.
18:52] We talk about the practicalities of a mobile lifestyle: is it safe? how do you balance life so you don't always feel like you're on vacation? Is it super expensive to live this way? Travel tips?
[24:27] Jean Marie's Favorite Quote "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman"
