Sandra Campos is a three-time CEO, having led some of the biggest retail and fashion brands in the world. She is also a two-time founder, a member of multiple private and public boards, a contributor on CNBC and an absolute expert on the consumer.

 

One of the things that stands out most about Sandra is her ability to understand the macro picture of things - whether that be culturally, or when it comes to her personal life.

 

In this episode, Sandra shares a life changing Why Not Now? moment that has influenced everything she has done since. This moment in time ultimately became the best career move she has ever made. Sandra explains the pivotal events that led her to a crossroads of having to either look for a job in corporate America, or create an entrepreneurial experience that would enable her to forge a balance between career and family. She took a leap of faith, chose the latter, and the rest is history.

 

Sandra explains how she arrived at making the decision, how that applies to your own decision making process, and why you should think entrepreneurially even if you aren’t an entrepreneur.

 

You’ll learn what makes Sandra so decisive, how she considers decisions and the tools she uses in her decision making process.

 

Sandra is someone that doesn’t sit still very often, but she has learned to take the time to appreciate the things in her life. She shares why focusing on what truly matters, being happier and more content will lead to more productivity naturally.

“Once you launch in, there’s no going back.” Paula Wallace is the Founder and President of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) - a world leading comprehensive university for creative professionals. Paula invented SCAD in 1979, and she has most definitely not looked back.

In this episode, Paula and Amy Jo talk through Paula’s formula for reinvention, her approach to how she makes decisions and what Paula is seeing with AI on the horizon.

 

You’ll also hear Paula’s fascinating Why Not Now? moment, which is the origin story of SCAD, as well as the pillars that have guided Paula through multiple big changes over time, and why starting with the past is so important when you begin your approach to reinvention.

This is the final episode of Amy Jo’s 3 part series all about reinventing your relationship time and money. We encourage you to listen to Part 1 (Ep 313) and Part 2 (Ep 314) before pushing play on Part 3.

In this last installment, Amy Jo focuses on the money side of things. To be clear, this is not investment advice, but you will learn how to potentially earn more and save more.

Amy Jo shares her specific money story and how that has changed over the last ten years. The net/net? Sacrifice does not equal success. Period.

Our earning potential is highest when we are expanding our capacity and optimizing our bandwidth. Sometimes that means spending money to create more time. Amy Jo explains how. She also shares what she is looking at specifically in her budget, and how she uses that data to determine if she is operating at her full earning potential.

You’ll learn the importance of assigning a value to your hours, and start making decisions based on the value of your time, as well as the difference in approaching finances from a confident place as opposed to doing so out of fear, and with a scarcity mindset.

Finally, Amy Jo takes you through the 5 Renegade Rules as a refresher so you can apply the rules to what you’ve learned over the last 3 episodes and beyond.

A solo series with Amy Jo! In this first episode of a three-part series, you’ll hear how Amy Jo is reinventing her relationship with time (and how you can too). You will learn tactical tips so you can do the same. Amy Jo has overhauled how she spends her days. The catalyst for this reinvention? Some tough, life-changing lessons. You will learn how to optimize your bandwidth (finite 24 hours in a day) and expand your capacity (infinite potential). Hint: Getting up earlier and earlier is not a strategy.

When we make friends with the data, (aka make friends with reality), we start to see tangible change. Reinvention is a daily practice.

Amy Jo has never seen the level of exhaustion in people's eyes that she sees now. After looking in the mirror, she realized that she also slipped into this boat.

Amy Jo shares what is required for reinvention. She explains the difference between your bandwidth and your capacity. She teaches how to design and execute your ideal day by using a time budget and how to conduct a time audit. These tools are invaluable for you in order to change your days.

You’ll also learn what to do if you are not feeling a sense of growth, fulfillment and joy in your life and career, and the three things you can do today to start expanding your bandwidth and your capacity.

Amy Jo is brutally honest and acknowledges she hasn’t figured everything out but the concepts and tactics she shares can make a considerable difference in how you spend your days - which is how you spend your life.
