Yeah, we all know 2020 was... different. And we also know that New Year Resolutions don't have much chance at making it past February. So this episode isn't about 'let's review our year' and set big audacious goals (although that can be fun). I'm actually not big on spending hours reflecting back, and I know some self development teachers advocate a review day, but honestly, who has the time. So when my mastermind buddy shared her 321 exercise with me I thought I'd do it myself and share it with...

Along with her business partner, Margy Feldhuhn whom I interviewed on the show a few weeks ago, Jessica has quickly scaled Interview Connections to over $1M in annual revenue with nearly no direct marketing or advertising. Their team of in house ...

This episode was inspired (or rather ripped out of me) from the pain of seeing so many women still in the same place after years and years.

One thing I've noticed over and over in the online coaching and education industry is an abundance of marketing training, but a lack of great teaching and experience in Managership. My guest today is Kris Plachy, who more than fills that gap. Kris earned her stripes in corporate start ups and brings some serious gravitas to the entrepreneur management space. She definitely stands in a class of one. Management and leadership isn't an either/or - they are a vital partnership and both sides of the ...
