Jim Pehkonen, Mary Reiss Farias- Out On the Skinny Branches What if everything you've worked so hard to build has quietly become the very thing holding you back? In this energizing second conversation on Out On the Skinny Branches, host Jim Pehkonen welcomes back entrepreneur, author, and publisher Mary Reiss Farias to challenge the way we think about success, freedom, and creating a meaningful life. After spending 37 years immersed in gymnastics as an athlete, coach, and business owner, Mary discovered a powerful truth: building a successful business doesn't necessarily mean building a successful life. Through her Economy Creators philosophy, Mary introduces the exciting possibility of creating a "YOU-shaped economy," where your talents, passions, experiences, and personal priorities become the foundation of your professional success. Together, Jim and Mary explore how entrepreneurs can reclaim their time, establish healthier boundaries, and create businesses that support their lives rather than consume them. But the conversation doesn't stop with entrepreneurship! Mary shares her passion for helping people discover their voices through publishing, storytelling, and bringing meaningful messages into the world. From empowering aspiring authors to helping established writers finally get their books noticed, she believes everyone has a story worth sharing. Jim adds his own experiences of personal transformation, the influence of our past, and the importance of intentionally designing the next chapter of life. What would change if you stopped allowing your work, your past, or other people's expectations to define your future? This episode is an invitation to rethink success, rediscover what truly matters, and recognize that you have far more freedom to create your future than you may realize. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a dreamer, an aspiring author, or someone ready for a new chapter, this conversation may inspire you to stop simply making a living and start creating a life you genuinely love!
