"Our story is our biggest asset. I packaged up my past. I packaged up my passion. I packaged up my pain. I packaged up my problems. I packaged up my poverty. And presented it as a product."

If you wonder how someone just "approaches" influencers like Billy Gene and Brad Lea and creates genuine, authentic, long-term relationships with them.

If you have ever believed that your not-so-ideal past determines your future, this episode was recorded just for you.

If you want to hear me rap, this episode is just for you.

Do you believe that self-confidence is an inherent personality trait that you are either born with...or aren't?

Jane Stewart doesn't, and her perspective will likely change the way you think about the the high performers who appear to have it all together all the time.
