A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.com

In this episode, I wanted to bring Amanda Banks on the show to discuss her 2024 initiative of “Authentic Influence”.

Prior to recording the episode, my business partner John Woerner met Amanda and they discovered that they had many similarities in the gymnastics world, even practicing/working with the same coaches in the same places! This reunion of sorts led to them discussing their respective business philosophies which led me to invite John into the episode, hit record and see how it played out.

What followed was a VERY rich discussion around the problems inherent with today’s social entrepreneur/thought leader/influencer movement, forging a healthy culture and other valuable takeaways. 

Some highlights:

Entrepreneurship, influencer marketing, and personal branding. (1:09)

Leadership and memorized stories. (7:17)

The impact of good and bad coaching on personal growth. (15:39)

Authenticity and influence in the digital age. (26:34)

Leadership, clarity, and kindness in business. (40:38)

Consumer behavior and social media engagement. (56:37)

Coaching techniques in gymnastics. (1:23:06)
