Intentional Business: Strategies for Sustainable SuccessIn this episode, we dive deep into the concept of being intentional in business. With a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, we share how intentions, rather than just goals, can sustain and inspire business ventures across different industries.Setting intentions to prevent burnout is something that is often overlooked when the focus is solely on goals. Goals can become overbearing and lead to weariness, while intentions remind us of our foundational purpose.Intentions are tied to the reasons why a business was started and help maintain its momentum. Whether you're a business owner, manager, or employee, these practices will help you feel inspired each day!Throughout the episode, several questions are posed to aid in setting meaningful intentions:1. What kind of owner or employee do you want to be?2. Which parts of your business feel heavy?3. Where are you saying YES to out of fear, rather than alignment?4. What does success look like for you, NOT social media?5. What kind of clients or projects energize you vs. drain you?6. If you trusted yourself more, what would I do differently?To relate, I (Olivia) shared my journey as a wildlife and travel photographer, elaborating on how I shifted away from family photography that didn't inspire me.And Pat discussed his motorcycle detailing business, focusing on quality over quantity and developing a clientele that values his services enough to keep coming back.Both instances illustrate how setting intentions can transform business practices and personal satisfaction.With actionable questions, this can guide you to aligning your business practices with personal values, promoting a peaceful and fulfilling career path.**New episodes come out every other Monday!**Don't forget to SHARE YOUR intentions once you've done this practice!Xo, Liv and Pat

Creativity and Art; is it genetic or is it from being exposed to it our whole lives? That's the real question we explore while recording on the family yacht in The Bahamas.Olivia (a wildlife and travel photographer) and Pat (a Marine Corps veteran) introduce the episode with Olivia's sister Alexa, her dad, Scott, and her mom, Sharon Jacobs.Alexa explains her path from underpainting for their dad, Scott to finding a looser, more textured style, describing how deadlines and high-volume gallery demands affected her inspiration and how leaving that situation helped her reconnect with making art.Scott recounts early signs of Alexa’s talent, his own creative development (including his early influences owning an art gallery at 19, adopting the name “Escotete” for unbiased feedback on his paintings, and later leaning into photorealism after becoming the first licensed artist by Harley-Davidson in 1993.He emphasizes persistence and making connections to succeed as an artist as well as a love for creating.Sharon describes her creativity through interior design and organization, as well as having two parents that were artists. The group discusses how travel and environment influence inspiration. Olivia shares her imposter syndrome about not enjoying painting and the moment she found her calling as a photographer.They talk about creative blocks, stepping away rather than forcing work, experimenting with mediums, and the future of art with AI-generated art.TIME STAMPS:- 00:00 Meet the Hosts: The Hunter & the Hippie Podcast Teaser- 01:06 Welcome Aboard: Recording on a Yacht in the Bahamas- 01:38 Creativity in the Family: Inherited or Learned?- 02:48 Does Paradise Spark Art?
