  • BEING DELULU IS THE SOLULU: What it Really Takes to Convert on Social Media with Kristina Knapp

    Kristina Knapp is so much more than a marketing coach! She began her career taking underperforming Michael Kors stores and turning them into the nation's top-selling locations in a matter of weeks. She then travelled the country as a ‘fixer’ flipping retail stores for different companies. When they asked her to stay on for consulting, Elixir Media Co. was born.
    Kristina is the founder of Elixir Media Co., the host of The Show TF Up Podcast, a Marketing Coach for female entrepreneurs, and an absolute social media marketing genius.
    As an Economics major Kristina is a metrics queen and the Elixir team helps their clients develop tailored strategies that work for their unique businesses and styles while teaching them to systemize, organize and track metrics like an Instagram boss.
    Having been on her own wild entrepreneurial journey, Kristina holds strong beliefs about what it does and does not take to grow a successful business!
    🖤 How getting pregnant felt devastating but turned out to be her rocket fuel for a better business and life
    🖤 Growing up poor, not seeing entrepreneurs or having successful female role models with children
    🖤 Untethering from other people's reality opening up 2x growth and coming back to her marketing roots
    🖤 The high-highs don't exist without the low-lows
    🖤 Letting go of THINGS THAT WORK, like multi-six figure revenue streams
    🖤 Losing your fire once you've beat the odds
    🖤 Looking at strategy as a buffet rather than constraining rules
    🖤 Don't let 'production value' stop you from getting your message out
    🖤 Humans are programmed to learn through storytelling and how this applies to your marketing

    Nicole Piggott has 30 years of experience as a senior leader in Human Resources for some of the top Canadian and US multinationals delivering strategic people and business initiatives and human resources operations to ensure a high-performing engaged workforce. She has seen firsthand the incredible advantages that diversity and inclusion bring to organizations and teams, as well as the struggles many companies face in implementing and measuring progress on objectives in the DE&I space.
    Her passion for creating more inclusive work environments, coupled with her depth of expertise in the HR space, lead Nicole to co-found Synclusiv in an effort to help more organizations understand, establish and deliver on their DE&I objectives.

    📍 Understanding that the systems you used to manage need to fundamentally change
    📍 Why, as a feminist, entrepreneurship didn't appeal
    📍 What 30 years in corporate taught her that helped her excel as an entrepreneur (and what it didn't prepare her for!)
    📍 Leaning into authenticity, even if it goes against advice from successful peers
    📍 The hard truths she learned about entrepreneurship that everyone should know
    📍 The overwhelm that is part of scaling a business and yourself
    📍 No one wants to hear how hard it is to grow so quickly!
    📍 Effecting change one person, conversation and experience at a time has a ripple effect
    📍 What DEI really is... smokescreens vs real issues
    📍 What companies who ignore DEI are missing out on

    Willo has been called an Oracle, an Alchemist, a Liberator, and a Doula for Hatching Big Ideas. Her experienced guidance and masterful facilitation of individuals and groups is rooted in compassionate commitment, conscious mindset/behaviour rewiring, and channeled energy transmissions.


    As a seasoned creative entrepreneur, Willo has continually faced her fears, followed her heart, and founded over half-a-dozen businesses. Through speaking, coaching, and writing, she serves as a dynamic catalyst for high-profile leaders and rapidly evolving spiritual visionaries. Whether your genius is to love, heal, inspire, transform, teach, or ignite a revolution… now is the time!


    Willo Sana joined us to talk about her new book ‘Double Down on Your Genius: Own Your Gifts, Align Your Actions, and Flourish in Your Calling’, which released in early 2024!


    In this episode, we discussed:
    - Why coming into energetic alignment is required to achieve your dreams
    - The vulnerability and wisdom to know when to call in objective support
    - Why we all need GPS: Guidance, Perspective and Support
    - The healing and integration required both in the individual and the business
    - The self-awareness to recognize if you're derailing yourself at new learning edges
    - Why slowing down is truly required to have the leverage to speed up
    - Burnout isn't just from working really hard...
    - Growth is not a 'one and done', there are levels
