In today's episode of The Luxe & the Short of It podcast, Madeleine is joined by Erica Bailey, host of the Innovative Entrepreneurs Podcast and the President and CEO of CWG Digital Marketing and Design Studio.

During the conversation Madeleine and Erica explore the art of building something truly sustainable—whether in business, strategy, or personal growth. Erica shares a refreshing perspective on what it takes to transform ambition into action, emphasizing that success isn't just about chasing the spotlight but about creating a lasting impact.

You'll hear about the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and resilience. Instead of rigid formulas, Erica champions a more fluid, test-and-learn approach—one that embraces failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback. She highlights the significance of surrounding yourself with the right people, understanding the "why" behind every decision, and ensuring that core values remain at the heart of every endeavor.  

This episode serves as a compelling reminder that true success isn’t just about external achievements but about crafting a life with purpose, intention, and an unwavering commitment to growth.
