About this episode
Every dreamt of owning your own cafe, or starting your own business?
Feeling lost and want to create a life you’re in love with and build the courage to go for your dreams?
This episode is full of ups and down, lots of laughs and serious conversation that covers everything from how to think outside the box to get what you want, the less-than-glamorous side of chasing your dreams that social media doesn’t show, naturally using our passions and voice to create change, and how to overcome obstacles that stand in your way.
Brodie Green is one of Danielle’s long term friends and the charming, funny and wise trail-blazing owner of the award wining Seadog Cafe on the Gold Coast in Australia.
From feeling lost for 26 years doubting his path in life to realising his dream, Brodie turned a 4x4 ATM bank space into an award winning takeaway coffee shop and finally stepped into his purpose.
Using coffee to impact change for womens rights, his tiny ( one of the smallest in Australia ) cafe is being talked about on an international stage and through his unique approach to finding outside the box solutions, and building his confidence - Brodie is pioneering the way cafes are doing business , and undergoing a personal revolution along the way.
In this episode Brodie gets real about:
- How he stopped doubting himself after 26 years of feeling lost and stepped into his dream
- What his coffee has to do with Donald Trump
- The harsh comment that flicked a switch for Brodie to move towards what he wanted
- The thing you may be doing that is leading to disappointment
- Why he gave away over 500 cups of coffee in one weekend
- The emotional conversation with a customer that validated Brodie’s purpose
- Using knock backs to build his confidence ( and how you can do the same )
- Finding the courage to step out and do our own thing
- Building community and creating change
- ‘Copy Cats’ and what to do about it
- Tweaking and pivoting the way you reach your dreams and goals
- How to create a life you’re in love with
