In this episode of Business Brain, Dave Hamilton and Shannon Jean kick off the new year with an insightful discussion on embracing chaos, managing schedules, and giving more compliments. Shannon shares two things he loves about the New Year: selling exercise equipment during peak season and setting resolutions, particularly focusing on giving intentional and authentic compliments. He notes how giving compliments, especially to men who are often under-complimented, can uplift and improve social interactions.
The conversation then shifts to managing chaos in personal and professional life. Dave describes his packed January schedule, balancing conferences, rehearsals, and travel while ensuring he stays productive and energized. He emphasizes the importance of mindset and planning to thrive in chaos rather than just survive it. Shannon shares a personal story about juggling tasks during a family vacation and how intentional planning leads to a sense of accomplishment.
They also highlight the role of having the right partner in life, calling the right spouse a “force multiplier” in managing chaotic schedules. Both stress the significance of shared family calendars and tools like Calendly to coordinate busy schedules and prevent burnout.
They wrap up by encouraging listeners to embrace chaos, give more compliments, and use effective tools for time management. Listeners are invited to leave reviews and keep living a “charmed life.”
