Entrepreneurs glorify the hustle…but what happens when that well-meaning work ethic leads to letting your business run your whole life?
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to throw your overworking habits out the door and take back control by planning your FUN first! Jovanni Godina and Todd Walker join me to share how ‘free time’ used to mean whatever was left over after the work day — and how they’ve successfully flipped the script on their schedules.
Tune in for actionable strategies on prioritizing your life and shaping your workflow around that.
Side effects of planning your fun first may include: getting more work done in less time, having more freedom, feeling more energized, and enjoying life more!

Jovanni has made it his mission to help those who are using business and themselves as a force for good.

With this experience and years of doing things the hard way Jovanni knows the importance in having someone guiding you.

Todd’s goal was to help his clients with their digital marketing strategy and build a network of experienced marketers to support them.
Todd currently lives in Marin with his wife and 2 children (Kyan and Kacia) and dogs (Kayla & Tika). They have a small urban farm where they grow their own vegetables and raise lots of animals, everything from chickens, ducks and quail, to angora rabbits. Todd has been sharing his passion for creativity by teaching an art class to 6th,7th,8th graders once week for the last 6 years. He loves mountain biking in the Marin Watershed (his backyard) and hiking and camping all over the West Coast.
