This week, our guest Mary Davies has a tendency to not live in the moment,  which can affect wellbeing and appreciating life as it currently is. Kelsey and Mary discuss how important the present is, how we have taken the present for granted, and the moments in which the present was right where we wanted to be.

To catch up with Mary, connect with her on LinkedIn.

Author and business owner Lisa Buyer joins us this week to discuss her experience with totally burning out from always being in survival mode, which lead to a career shift.

Lisa’s story is something many of us know well: we work 10+ hours a day thinking we’re making a better life for ourselves when we’re actually grinding our mind and body into the ground. Lisa and Kelsey discuss how Lisa got out of survival mode and what she’s doing now.

This week’s guest is Robyn Johnson, who tends to go into the worst possible scenario when something doesn’t go how she expected.

We dive into how that affects her as a business owner and mother, and how our childhoods may have shaped how we try to prepare for situations.

You can follow Robyn at @AMZRobynJohnson on Twitter.

This week gets meta as Geoffrey Colon of Microsoft and Kelsey Jones discuss failure as a whole in our society. Why is failure frowned upon when it has lead to the world’s greatest innovations?

We also discussed why the nerds you laughed at in school built the technology you rely on and where our society is going next in terms of innovation and failure.

Geoffrey is on Twitter if you want to talk more.

This week, Casie Gillette joins Kelsey Jones to discuss the impulsiveness of home DIY and how not everything has to be a huge endeavor.  While Casie wants to jump headfirst into a project, sometimes there’s an easier way. It doesn’t have to be the “whole enchilada.”

Casie and Kelsey discuss homeownership, electric cars, and how sometimes, the easiest thing is right under our nose.

Dr. Pete Meyers (of Moz fame) is terrible at knowing where he is. In this episode of StoryShout, Pete and Kelsey discuss their failures in giving directions, navigating traffic circles (aka roundabouts), and how their brain goes fuzzy when people throw out the terms “east” and “north.” This episode is hilarious, don’t miss it!

Dr. Pete is pretty active on Twitter if you want to ask for directions in Chicago (or, maybe you shouldn’t).

International best-selling author Sarah Knight isn’t bad at much, which makes sense since she writes anti-self-help books about caring less about what people think and managing anxiety. In this episode of StoryShout, Sarah and Kelsey Jones sit down to discuss the art of being able to do “nothing” and how that factors into anxiety, your home life, and feeling like you accomplished something.

Though Amalia and I just met through a mutual friend to record this episode, we have something in common: we both procrastinate…a lot. Though, as Amalia states, it has never done us wrong.

We have a great conversation about procrastinating that includes:

• The logic behind procrastinating
• Why we procrastinate some things and not others
• How everything seems to always get done anyway
• How failure and perfectionism plays into procrastinating
