Financial fun with Kevin Conroy
Kevin Conroy has become not only an incredibly successful entrepreneur, but our guru of all things finances and long term planning for financial freedom in our future.

A Quick Pitt Stop: dog walks, pictures, technology & 7 yr old judgement
Hi my loves! Welcome back to a quick Pitt stop! Today on my daily walk with the pup, I was reflecting on the project I had to do with my kiddo. Him judging himself in pictures of him. Why do we judge ourself anyway?! Is this holding you back from your next level self? Who you are in one snapshot of time is NOT what defines you. Who you were 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 6 months ago, or even yesterday does NOT define you. YOU get to define who you are an...

A Quick Pitt Stop: An aha moment. a little bit woo, a little bit psychology a whole lotta energy.
This episode is in direct response to an episode hosted by Rachel Hollis- she was interviewing Ben Hardy and they speak to the 80-20 principal with a twist. (Rachel Hollis podcast episode 313: How to become your FUTURE self faster) The idea of 80-20 principal is that 80% of results come from 20% of the effort we put in. So basically 80% of our income in our biz is from 20% of our clients, of our service or our product. example: 80% of our sleep quality occurs in only 20% of our actual sleep (REM), 80% of our behavior comes from 20% of our tho...
