36| Making Business Human: Embracing Being Sucky and Leading From Your Real Life & Personality with Chelsea Riffe


Listen Later

Nowadays it seems the playbook rules for how to 'do business' are getting more and more prescriptive and rigid.

With cookie cutter offers, constant noise of the 'ultimate strategy you need NOW' and advice coming from all sides, building a business or project you love can go from an exciting passion-filled prospect to feeling overwhelming, stressful and even unfulfilling. We've made it all about strategy & hustle and in the process lost a lot of what used to make it feel human.

In today's episode Im joined by Chelsea Riffe, a master podcast strategist & mentor, host of the podcast In My Non-Expert Opinion, and female solo-travelling digital nomad, as well as being my own former podcast mentor. Chelsea knows a thing or two (jk a LOT) about whats it's like to get caught in the trap of the 'one size fits all' mentality, and has worked to create a life where her business fits around her LIFE - not the other way around. We dig into why bringing humanness, play, and fun into your business is essential to longterm sustainability and how embracing your 'suckiness' might just be the key to moving faster than you thought possible.

Chelsea is someone who's mastered leading life from her one-of-a-kind personality and utilizes that superpower, along with her real life and travel experiences, to connect with her audience and clients on a deeply human and authentic level.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How every opportunity feels fair game when you're travelling
  • Growing into a new identity and outgrowing your former environments
  • Learning how to grow one step at a time v.s. all at once
  • ‘Embracing your suckiness’ & enjoying being a beginner
  • Bringing back ‘Being Human’ in our businesses
  • Expressing your personality beyond a single ‘niche’
  • Letting your LIFE take priority (and not just your business)
  • Becoming a ‘Video Game Character’: using archetypes to embody new energies ✨🎮
