Earlier this year, I sent out a short survey for my audience to fill out. This survey gave me some very insightful data about who they are, what they do and what they need help with. 

This is something I aim to do at least once a year, but it should really be more if possible. 

Regardless, I’ll be sharing some insights so that you know what type of information might be helpful for you to collect, along with a rapid fire Q&A to answer some questions received in the survey.

Ever wonder what you'd change if you started your business over?

This episode is a little different… and totally unplanned. I’m pulling back the curtain on a mini interview I did with Cubicle to CEO at the Make Your Mark Live event, and while it was short, it stirred up big reflections.

Inside, I’m answering two powerful questions that got me thinking deeply about my business journey: what I’d remix, and what I’d repeat. And no, my answer isn’t what you’d expect.

Then I’m coming back on the mic to share even more insights I didn’t say in the moment, including a spoiler you haven’t heard anywhere else.

What you’ll learn:

• The one shift that would’ve saved me hours (and headaches) early on
• Why a few minutes with Ellen Yin left me reflecting on my entire business journey
• The thing I stayed true to, even as everything else evolved
• A behind-the-scenes look at something I’ve never shared publicly (until now)
• How a simple change can make showing up online feel way easier

If you’ve ever asked yourself “what would I do differently?” or felt unsure about how to stay true to your brand while growing your biz, this episode is 100% for you.
