TLS 483 10 Things That Have Helped Me "Outfit" Better

Today’s Lively Show episode is one of the most inspirational so far! I’m talking with Kelly Krause, an Austin native who works for South by Southwest Interactive about her recent journey to regain her health intentionally. Since April 1st, 2013 Kelly has lost 137 pounds and has completely changed her relationship to eating and exercise based on a simple, strong-held values. Despite her heavy travel schedule, Kelly has remained devoted on this journey and has...

Today’s episode has been a long time coming. It started last fall, when The Lively Show was just an idea waiting to happen. On a tiny white leather couch at a New York City event, Joy Wilson (aka Joy the Baker) helped me understand the world of podcasting. And she promised to be on the show. Today, in episode #20, she did just that. Joy is well known baker, cookbook author, blogger, and podcaster. But she also happens to be a most joyful and charming&nb...

Today I’ve got a special guest on The Lively Show that you may not be familiar with, Noah Kagan. He’s a taco loving, introspective, completely open, Austin-based entrepreneur who is well known for founding AppSumo.com and his early involvement in Facebook (he was employee #30). He also shares great business insights and life hacks on his blog, OkDork.com. In this week’s show, we’re having a “lively” conversation (I don’t often throw that term around, but it’s true)...

Happy Lively Show Day! I’d like to ask you a question about an idea I am considering. A few people have been asking for more podcast episodes, so… I’m thinking about making an audio version of the written posts on Tuesdays, too. Which means I’d still post the content in writing (like normal) and I’d read the Tuesday post aloud as a short podcast episode. Thursday’s longer interview episodes would remain unchanged. This would be for those who prefer to liste...

Happy Lively Show day to you! Today I have an awesome new episode with Lindsay Ostrom, the blogger behind the incredibly popular Pinch of Yum. Lindsay’s food blog has tons of great recipes, eCookbooks, and helpful income reports (great for those looking to monazite their blogs). She and her husband Bjork – the business half of the blog – also have a site called Food Blogger Pro where they help food bloggers take things to the next level. In today’s episode, we are talki...

Today’s episode of The Lively Show has a special guest…. Mr. Lively himself! When I first started dating my husband, I called him Mr. Lively on the blog. Back then, many readers assumed it was a pseudonym. In fact, one or two readers even shared their disappointment when they learned that Lively was, in fact, his last name. They preferred the idea that it was a nickname based on his personality alone. Me on the other hand? I was thrilled to adopt the Lively last name ...

Today’s show is a huge honor for me! I’ve been a big fan of Erin Gates of Elements Of Style for many years and I have loved reading her blog and learning from her as a designer and following her life and career. In this episode we talk about her exceptional career path and book deal. But our main topic is perfectionism (starting at 18:30) – how Erin has learned to make the most out of it and appreciate it for what it is, rather than fighting to change herself....
