Starting a new business? Stuck in your business? Want a successful life? Guest Brooke Lenhoff of the Entrepreneurship Center, Focus Suites joins the two broads for some foundational advise that often times gets overlooked when doing your own thing; the entrepreneur themselves. Understanding one's strengths is one such foundational building block that gets discussed today. Of course there are a lot of laughs too and some of the laughs come at the expense of this broad who damn near did die with her mic in her hand today..... unpredictable per usual, tune in! Be encouraged.

For the first time, the Two Broads had a repeat guest on the show. Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites, joined us again after only under three months due to all of the barriers and goals she has busted down. Goals she spoke of in her first visit and boom, they happened. If you missed Stacy's first cast discussing her, "see a need, fill a need" business idea and the weird accident she had that spurred her into action, please go listen to the Set Your Sites episode back in June. We were so excited to see this lady who is fast becoming the first in a business league all her own; a pretty big deal actually. We discuss keeping motivated and taking time to acknowledge, celebrate and sit in the milestones for a minute as the journey really is everything. Also, it seemed fitting to celebrate Stacy's win with our own milestone here at Two Broad Casters as this is our 100th episode we have recorded. It won't take you long into this cast (like immediately) to see how there is zero improvement in the tech department after 100 episodes as Lauri tries to enter the show with what she thought was a sound bite of celebration and clapping sounds and well.... epic fail. Oh well, the broads are known for this type of awkwardness at this point. Tune in friends for this episode sure to encourage and make you laugh.

The state of education is a topic that is sure to ruffle the broad's feathers. In this episode Lauri & Sarah push back against the misunderstanding of what unschooling generally really is and then it's off to the races. What ensues is a litany of amazement and grievances towards public education over the years and where it now finds us. Tune in if you like course salt.

Sarah is currently partaking in a physical fitness challenge and while walking several hours a day currently she has had time to think a lot about motivation and perseverance. The two broads discuss these two golden qualities and all under the Lauri's shroud of exhaustion which is ridiculously obvious right at the start of the show when she boldly calls Sarah, Sarah Conners!! WHAT?? Well, if you are a listener regularly, this probably won't surprise you. Which is sad, lol. Thanks for listening.

In observation of our occasional series on forgotten people groups, in this cast we discuss prisoners. Amy Jurgens is the Director for the Focus Suites Entrepreneurship Center and teacher at Southeast Community College. Amy is also teaching in the prison and shares her observations and insights about that. We talk about the bias many have regarding people who are or who have served time. One thing is for sure, no matter your thoughts or bias regarding ex-prisoners, one thing is for sure; many are coming back out it's on us out here on the "outside" to care about their re-entry.

In this episode the broads come to the mics with some salty commentary regarding the Olympics. It has its touching moments when one Broad tells of her childhood connection to the Olympics. This is a fun episode sure to get you back into the spirit of gold and we think we may get gold in the category of best post game without having been there or watched any of it. Listen now!

Tragic heroes. We are all familiar with them as they are in most stories told; via plays, movies or books. Tragic figures and cautionary tales have been in our societal culture experience in everything from The Bible, to Greek mythology to Aesop's fables. We have been exposed to stories that warn of us many things and things like regret, bitterness, greed and lies to a point where it would seem like we could all see the end results of where such things lead. However, for some, it didn't take. What happens when the tragic hero is someone you know personally and are left no other option than to feel like the main thing their life ended up being was a cautionary tale. It is a very sad experience. The two broads discuss this hard topic as well as other random things like flash naps, mob naps, generational living and more. Tune in friends.

The Two Broads have a conversation on this episode about how convenience, or a least the sales pitch of it, has led us into the really deep end of consumerism. We wonder if we are better off for it all despite the obviousness of much of it. Do we purchase without much real thought whenever something is sold as making our lives easier or better in some ways? Has all of that stuff we have bought lived up to its promise? Do we even use half of the stuff we have? Why do we think we have to constantly buy stuff? We bring up this topic in an effort to perhaps put some thought into how we are actually managing our lives though our stuff and our finances and our impulses to over buy. Perhaps we should spend a little more time being a producer of something at least once in a while as being known as consumers starts to feel heavy.
