The Best Life Podcast Danny-J Johnson & Jill Coleman

We had a listener ask the question: should you start a business with a friend? And while this might sound funny coming from us, our answer is a resounding HELL NO! We might seem like the dream team now, but we’ve both had some failed business partnerships in the past that met sticky ends. But if you’re really considering it, there are a few questions you need to ask. Sure, business partnerships can work, but it’s going to take a lot of extra thought.

How do you know when the time is right to level up? And when the time is right, how do you get there? Wanting is really easy, but it’s the doing that’s hard. Jill and Danny have felt “ready” to level up many times in their businesses, but it wasn’t until recently that their actions started matching their words. Are you ready?

Danny is in the process of adopting a puppy, and while we aren’t usually over-thinkers, this time feels different. So how do we overcome it?

So trust your gut, and trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way.

Let’s normalize taking a break. Our society focuses heavily on constant productivity and hustling 24/7 but let’s be honest, it’s just not sustainable! Sometimes your creative well dries up or you just need a little more rest, and that’s normal. If you don’t make time for yourself, the universe might just force it upon you. Soooo… let’s just all take the rest of 2021 off, yeah?

Are you a people-pleaser? Many women are, and unfortunately it seems to be a trait passed down through generations. Maybe your people-pleasing is rooted in good intentions, but we think it’s kind of selfish. If you’re always worried about making everyone else happy, you’re never going to find happiness for yourself. It’s time to take back that power.

Ever heard of Filter Anxiety? Showing your face without a filter can be down right terrifying—especially for those of us that are getting older. We try to love our own faces but let’s be honest, sometimes we can look and feel like shit, and a filter takes away a little bit of the sting. Is using a filter ethical? Are we obligated to show the world our natural selves? Let’s talk about it.
