The power of a good story is life changing.

 

I got connected to today’s guest through a good friend who recommended him so highly, I knew I had to invite him on the podcast. Jude is an incredible storyteller through documentary films and has so much wisdom about entrepreneurship, branding, and telling the story of your work.

Jude Charles is an author, filmmaker, and consultant. He helps entrepreneurs make money by using the power of storytelling. For over 15 years, he’s helped entrepreneurs bring their stories to life through documentary films. He digs deep to find the compelling story that no one else knows and then leverage storytelling to strategically scale their business. He’s been blessed to produce stories for Google, Coldwell Banker, and Steve Harvey (just to name a few). Plus he’s been featured as a speaker on conference stages and on 100+ different podcasts.

In this episode, Jude shares the real talk of becoming and staying an entrepreneur, how to tell powerful stories, and where to find the courage to tell your own.

“Relentless courage looks like the idea of just never giving up.”

    by | May 16, 2023 | Podcast, Success

    Here’s a story that will move you to new heights.

     

    I got emotional when I talked to today’s guest on the podcast — even though I already knew her story. She is an incredible woman and friend and I have loved learning from her in the past year about style, confidence, and choice.

    Sarah Foley is a transformation coach and keynote speaker who goes by Vertical Blonde. After experiencing life literally flipping her upside down from a debilitating ATV accident in 2012, Sarah learned how to experience the richness and beauty of life. She has been featured on major stages and platforms all over the US, including being featured multiple times on the Tony Robbins podcast and being featured in “Your Second Act” by Patricia Heaton. Sarah’s helped thousands of people of all abilities gain confidence, redefine what’s possible and become the icons they are.

    Today Sarah is passionate about guiding and witnessing the shift in others as they embrace their Vertical self.  She loves helping others feel beautiful from the inside out as she shares the tools and perspectives that help them understand that they are capable of experiencing their beautiful, rich and successful lives right now.

    In this episode, Sarah shares the incredible story of her life, her choices, her mission, and what is possible when you decide to become an icon, no matter what life gives you.

    ““We have a way of tapping into who we are based on where we’re going, not who we’ve been practicing being.”

      I met today’s guest at an event earlier this year and I loved her story and her mindset about intention and priorities.

        Podcast: EP 102 Starting Small to Go Big with Lindsey Schwartz

        Podcast: EP 102 Starting Small to Go Big with Lindsey Schwartz

        by | Apr 25, 2023 | Podcast, Success

        I have a big girl crush on this woman.

         

        I was introduced to Lindsey through a friend a little while ago and immediately fell in love with her energy, her content, and her work. I’ve followed her, listened to her show, and loved what she’s doing. But when I got to meet her in person at an event we both spoke at this spring, it really sealed the deal for me. She is as great in real life as she is online, and I am so happy I get to share her story and magic with you.

        Lindsey Schwartz is an entrepreneur, top podcast host, and best-selling author. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.

        As a sought after speaker, Lindsey travels around the world inspiring women to get out of their own way and into action around their big ideas, and helping them create the careers they’ve always dreamed of.

        After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we’re not meant to do business (or life) alone!

        In this episode, Lindsey shares the story of how she moved from her comfort zone to community leader status, what gave her the courage to take a big leap, and how you can tune into your own powerhouse self and do the same.

        “It’s really bold and it can be really challenging to leave something that’s going well.”

        Podcast: EP 101 Sales + Dating? Be magnetic in all of your relationships

        Podcast: EP 101 Sales + Dating? Be magnetic in all of your relationships

        by | Apr 20, 2023 | Podcast, Sales, Success

        I’m sharing a metaphor that I think you’ll like.

         

        I see so many similarities between sales and dating. They both require trust, time, and connection for them to be successful. Teaching people how to successfully sell their work is one of my favorite ways to coach, and it is so similar to successful dating. I wanted to share some of my best tips in this episode that you can apply to either area of your life — or both!

        In this episode, I lay out the key pieces of successful sales and dating, the big turnoffs to avoid, and how to set up your sales funnel (or dating approach) for success. I hope you enjoy this mini coaching session and if you’re interested in working more with me on this, I share some options for you at the end. 

        “One of the ways you gain trust . . . is by asking questions and learning to listen.”

        Podcast: EP 100 The Heart Knows the Way

        by | Apr 13, 2023 | Podcast, Success

        friends, we are at episode 100 on the podcast.

         

        My heart is so full as I celebrate this “century” podcast episode. I felt prompted to start a podcast years before I did. But as I said in episode 1, imperfect action is how we get things done. To look back on the last 100 episodes, the last 3 years, and all the conversations this show has sparked is so joyful for me. Thank you for listening.

        In this episode, I wanted to share 3 clips from past episodes that I especially loved as a celebration of what this show has created. First you’ll hear from my friend Kute Blackson, followed by my mentor Jack Canfield, and finishing up with a super special message from someone dear to me, the poet Mark Nepo. Here’s to the next 100 episodes friends — join me!

        “We’ve talked about open hearts and dreaming bigger and mindset and growth – to sales and marketing and success to the heart work and relationships – the willingness to heal and expand.”
