Our Editor's Take

It's a Good Life is a motivational podcast for entrepreneurs. The host is Brian Buffini, the founder of one of the largest coaching businesses in the US. Born in Brooklyn, Buffini grew up in Ireland and founded Buffini & Company after returning to the US at the age of 19. The organization coaches businesses and entrepreneurs and offers motivational resources. This is its companion podcast.

When it comes to entrepreneurship, the implied measure of success is money. The more money an entrepreneur can make, the more successful they are. It's a Good Life sets itself apart from other podcasts in that it uses happiness as a benchmark. According to Buffini, a successful entrepreneur is one who has found "the good life." Everyone defines it in their own way. But it's a combination of financial success, personal growth, and family time.

In every episode, Buffini picks a focus topic. The host provides techniques for people trapped in the cycle of consumer debt. He offers advice on how to control one's financial environment. The podcast differentiates between self-serving and altruistic ambition. It's a Good Life stresses the importance of a vision and a strategy to help small businesses grow.

Buffini sometimes invites a specialist to talk about one aspect of the good life. Raechel Yeaman, a REALStrengths expert, is a frequent guest on the show. She explains how a better understanding of one's strengths can have an impact on one's skills as a salesperson. She also addresses the feelings of shame and pain people have toward money and how to overcome them. Matt Mayberry is a speaker, author, and consultant. He believes that office culture is an essential component of a thriving business.

Entrepreneurs who are looking for more balance may find great value in It's a Good Life. New episodes debut several times a month.
