| 6/17/26 | One More Thing: How Big Dreams Get Built with Lisa Even | What if joy wasn’t something you waited for—but something you intentionally built into your life?In this inspiring episode of Roots and Roofs, Mackenzie sits down with speaker, author, and leadership expert Lisa Even to unpack the surprising strategy that transformed her life: treating joy like a KPI. After realizing she was excelling at work but neglecting her own fulfillment, Lisa and her husband created a system for intentionally pursuing joy in the middle of careers, parenting, and everyday chaos.From transitioning out of healthcare leadership into a thriving keynote speaking business to building a life centered around purpose instead of burnout, Lisa shares practical wisdom on entrepreneurship, motherhood, and taking imperfect action. This conversation is a powerful reminder that you don't need a complete roadmap to create a meaningful life—you just need the courage to take the next step.Time Stamps:03:00 – The Moment Joy Became a Priority05:30 – The Whiteboard That Started a Movement07:00 – Finding Joy in the Ordinary11:30 – From Healthcare Leader to Keynote Speaker14:30 – Why Every Big Dream Starts as an Experiment18:30 – One Step at a Time: Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs20:30 – The Power of Progress Over PerfectionLisa’s social media links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisaeven_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisaeven11Lisa Even’s book, Joy As A Job https://lisaeven.com/books/Connect with Mackenzie:https://www.facebook.com/mackenzie.raburn/https://www.instagram.com/mackenzieleesheltonFind more great tips on her website:www.mahoganyacres.com | — | ||||||
