The Clockwork baby countdown is ON and Adrienne is taking you behind the scenes this week into her own 4-week maternity leave / vacation preparation. And the first question we’ve got to dig into for all the mama’s out there is … WHY a 4-week maternity leave?!

As Adrienne prepares for her upcoming maternity leave, she asked Mike for his best 4-week vacation advice. Since he’s been on 2 already and about to take his 3rd in December, he’s learned a lot about how to physically and emotionally prepare for 4 weeks away from the business.

I was chatting with a long-time client this past week and she was sharing with me some of the decisions she was making around where the team was spending their time, if they’re going to continue with some big projects and and how they’re testing different things for the future to maximize their ROI.

With Halloween just days away, at first, I panicked when I realized we didn’t have any candy for all the cute little neighborhood trick or treaters...and then put my big girl panties on and headed to Costco (mistake #1).

We needed a bunch of other things too that people should never buy in bulk, like greek yogurt, and almond milk, spinach...so this wasn’t just a candy only trip.
