Is it possible to be an entrepreneur and have serenity? Successful business owners challenge the idea that these two entities cannot co-exist with lively discussions of real-life business woes, their secrets to success, and where they land on the path to finding serenity in both their business and personal lives! Who are the voices in the podcast? A group of business owners with diverse skill sets coming together to share stories of starting their businesses, as well as their successes and challenges, all in hopes of imparting knowledge and inspiration, and a chance to feel connected with others. Our podcast features a panel of six, charismatic women: an accountant, a lawyer, two grant specialists (tax credits and government grants), a risk and finance consultant, and a marketing expert. Our virtual fireside-chat style is casual, yet informative, while we address a wide range of topics and questions from entrepreneurs who don’t know where to turn to for direction. Drawing from our real-world experiences in the often daunting world of entrepreneurship, we provide resources and advice for business owners. Whether you are in the early planning stages, you run a well-established business or you are looking to expand your operation, we can provide you with the guidance to thrive in these ever-changing times. Our podcast is a forum to give back and help our community of amazing entrepreneurs while we aspire to achieve the elusive notion of “Serenity Now”.

Normally none of our panelists use profanity in our podcast but when our panelist, Peggy Aulenback brought up an essay she had read in the Harvard Business Review entitled “The No Asshole Rule” – we were all quite intrigued.
The essay was written by a Stanford professor, Robert I Sutton. The topic of the essay was so popular that it was followed by a book entitled: The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t.
The theme of the essay and book are that bullying behavior in the workplace worsens morale and productivity. A rule is suggested to screen out the toxic staff—the no asshole rule. The author insists upon use of the word asshole since other words such as bully or jerk “do not convey the same degree of awfulness”. In terms of using the word in the book’s title, he said “There’s an emotional reaction to a dirty title. You have a choice between being offensive and being ignored.
Tune in while our panelists discuss the paper, admit to what kind of asshole we may have been in the past, discuss assholes in the workplace and how to deal with clients that have displayed this behavior. This episode has a lot of honest, reflection, laughter and more! Enjoy and please share!
