In this episode, Steve, Mary, Richard, and Chalene discuss:

• Being thankful for setback years and the joy that comes from getting through those.
• Developing Chalene, the brand.
• The first step to monetize your expertise in the new media world.
• Co-creating with your audience, not in a test tube.

Key Takeaways:

• Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up.
• You have to embrace new media, the old ways aren’t coming back.
• It’s not about a huge following, you have to have your foundation in place first.
• People want to be successful – they don’t value a lot of content as much as they value their time.
