Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of The Hearth.

I'm so excited for Season 2, and I'm so happy you're here.

This season we will be exploring what success in business can look like.  How do you define success in the business world?  What does that look like to you?

This season my wonderful guests and I will be sharing with you different ways success can look like, aside from the numbers.

Yes, making a profit is important.  But this season I'm really going to challenge you to strive for more than just that.

In today's episode, I am going to talk about the 6 shifts I'm witnessing from the way things used to be in the business world, to how they are today.

The 6 shifts are:

1. Wealth- hoarding, specifically in the stock market.
2. Second, hustle culture.
3. Proft first.
4. The idea that burnout is expected.
5. Work = Suffering.
6. The idea of independence and hierarchy.

If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.

One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.

Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.

Last, if you’ve got a burning question, a comment, or a situation you’d like my eyes on, you can email me at candice@fortressandflourish.com.
