Am I the Only One?

37: Entrepreneurship is Sweet! With Zach and Alexandra Vraa

This weeks episode is a sweet one! Today I sit down with Zach and Alexandra Vraa, the founders of A to Z Creamery. A to Z Creamery was born during the craziness of the Covid-19 pandemic. Zach, a foodie and naturally creative person, took quarantine boredom to his kitchen to pass time. He started churning out custom ice cream, sharing it on social media, and before he knew it he was working his dream job as a super premium ice cream maker.
His wife, Alex, who supported him from the start also was the voice of reason behind Zach's big dreams. With her own successful career in finance, Alex helped Zach take A to Z from a creative idea to a business that now is booming across the Twin Cities. Today they sit and chat with Cait and share their take, on making entrepreneurship work as a couple, building dreams together, assessing and taking risks, and building a dream as a team.
This is the perfect episode if you have a dream on YOUR heart and need help sharing that idea with your spouse! Truly, this is a power couple in the making and it is exciting to have them on the podcast as this business is booming! You will love this couple!

35: ”But What Will Someone Think Of Me?” - Let’s Squash FEAR of Judgement!

In today's episode we cover the two categories, I believe we fall into of why we care so much about what others think about us! You are either a people pleaser or you want people to think you are perfect. Neither of these are good and neither of these will lead you to your dream life!
It is time that we start living our own truths, living out our own dreams, being our authentic selves, and learn how to start actually doing the things we want, and not care so much what others may or may not think about us. Because news flash, at the end of the day, people really care more about themselves and what you should care about, is taking that first courageous step to be YOU and live YOUR dreams.
Because at the end of the day, you are the one who lives with your regrets, not those who are watching from the sidelines!
Today is going to be an awesome episode, so enjoy! Remember to subscribe, review, and share the podcast with those on your social media and who would find value in this in your life!
