Jessie Gardner was on a solid path to success in her role and had just been promoted to a Director level position. She should have been excited and feel full, but she realized she was anything but happy. That awareness woke her up and stirred something deep inside that called for more.

In this interview, Jessie shares how her life changed after that wake-up call and how she morphed that experience into a movement and a gift subscription box business to inspire people to seize the day, shake things up, and be a positive disruption in the world. Her Hey Soul Manifesto is inspiring. Check it out: http://heysoul.co

Sharon Kan is the co-founder of Pepperlane, a community designed for moms to monetize their skills at any level.

We hear the key things moms state as a challenge (hint: it's around mindset and cultural norms). Sharon describes the main challenges she wants to address as she ignites the passion in moms with skills to monetize their gifts at any level. Sharon states that there are 80 Million mothers in America and 60 Million work while 20 Million are either unemployed or stay-at-home moms.

Phoebe Mroczek is a business coach, entrepreneur, and adventurer, leading a movement to help women shed the shoulds and un-become the person people want you to be to allow you find the person you know you are deep down.

In my interview with Phoebe, we unravel her mysterious background, hear her philosophy on life and business as she reveals the mission behind her latest project, her new podcast.

In her own words...

"I woke up at 18 and found myself living out my childhood dream as a Division 1 soccer player, yet suffering from health problems and having just suddenly lost my dad to brain cancer..."

"Sh*t got real. Real fast."

"I scribbled in my tear-drenched journal: 'Do what you want to do NOW. Right now. Don't wait.'"

"In that moment, I committed to a life of love, passion and curiosity."

"By the age of 30, I'd traveled to more than 55 countries on 6 continents, been cage diving with Great White sharks, camped in the Serengeti and motorbiked across Europe."

"And my professional experience has been just as colorful and adventurous:"

"Over the past ten years, I've grown my portfolio with several ventures, including a six-figure online marketing business that I built in twelve months to help established entrepreneurs launch online courses and products, and the Mind Your Business Podcast, a show with over 900,000 downloads."

"While working with successful industry leaders, I realized that the most successful business owners knew far more about life than just the numbers or strategies. This sparked an obsession to understand how to become happier on a holistic level and question society's metrics for success."

"Now, I now help passionate female entrepreneurs redefine what it is to be fully alive, successful and more importantly, their best selves so they can create a life and business they fall in love with everyday."

"Ultimately, it is my mission to help women gain the confidence and courage to live an extraordinary life that impacts the world."

Lori Geischecker is a serial entrepreneur, a Business and Social Media Strategist and Voice Over Artist. I finally convinced her to sit down and record her Amazon FBA experience so I can share it with you. I've witnessed her use of Amazon FBA to make a financial impact when things got sticky with her dad's health and astronomical care expenses. She shares how she got into selling online way back in the day and the features that attracted her to Amazon when she was in the midst of focusing on her two businesses. We've been friends for many years and don't get to see each other often enough, but you may recognize her voice if you've been listening for a while.

Lori created a comprehensive cheat sheet for you to help you get started with an Amazon FBA if you've been thinking about it for a while or if this interview sparks your interest as it has mine.

You can grab her cheat sheet here:

Mentioned in this episode

Best tools to use to scan prices and Amazon position on your phone (you need an FBA account to get all the info)

- FREE Scanpower app

- Amazon Seller Central

- You need an Amazon FBA account. It's easy to set up but will cost you a $39/month fee, so you plan on earning at least that with your sales to break even.

Lisandra learned about disaster planning the hard way. Her own business failure was the catalyst that pushed her into working as a disaster planning specialist helping businesses manage risks, prepare and prevent permanent closures. Most businesses do not plan for unexpected disasters, the things that wouldn't pop into mind. In this episode, Lisandra discusses the importance of having a contingency plan in place when things are solid i.e. "times of peace" so we're not left scrambling with what ifs or we could haves. She specializes in working with restaurants, but any business can benefit from this type of planning. Mentioned in this episode...
