Cultivated Conversations

We all set goals for ourselves, but just how far are we willing to go to achieve them? Today's guest, Keri White, is an extremely successful and passionate real estate agent in Los Angeles. Last year, Keri set a massive business goal and stopped at nothing to attain it- learning a lot of hard lessons along the way. In this episode Keri tells us about her life, her incredible career and she shares her knowledge and experience about working hard and staying present.

Society has programmed us to believe that in order to get what we want in life - a great career, a balanced personal life, a healthy (and hot) body - we have to follow a “traditional” path. But guess what - it’s not for everybody. Sometimes leaning in to the unconventional can lead to great success - and such was true for today’s guest, Tess Finkle. She went from being an unpaid internship to the CEO a massive PR firm representing brands, events, celebrities and beyond. With one of the most unique stories you’ve ever heard, this will leave you laughing, learning and inspired.

Sometimes, you just need to do something for yourself. This week’s guest, Diana Oh, is a celebrity make-up artist who built herself up from two gigs a month to becoming the lead make-up artist at the Late Late Show (yes, THAT Late Late Show with THAT James Corden). Hear about her journey, her essential products & tips for all make-up lovers, and the importance of self-care while on the grind.

Name your dream company. Now imagine you interview for that company and get denied not once, but 12 times. This is what happened to today's guest, photographer Ashley Streff - but these setbacks did not once deter her from pursuing her dreams. Amidst health issues and being out of work for over a year, Ashley cunningly rode the wave when Instagram first came into the market, and built a reputable career as a photographer from the platform. You'll be amazed listening to this story of persistence & resilience. 

Today's guest Carrie Murray is no stranger to the struggles of owning her own business. After a successful career in education, she opened her own school - but it failed. Why? She determined two reasons: lack of business knowledge & no sounding boards to guide her on the right path. That's why she created the BRA Network, a community for women to learn from one another about what it takes to run their own businesses. Be inspired by Carrie's no-nonsense approach to a person's value. 

What do you think your social media presence says about you? We live in a world today where we all have a personal brand via social media, whether we like it or not. Today's episode with entrepreneur and business coach Anna Wood of @BrainsOverBlonde goes into detail about how important social media is for entrepreneurs to maintain to grow their businesses. Learn about what it took for this Stanford MBA and Google alum to take the leap and start her own coaching business.

Wellness. What a buzzword. But does everyone understand what it truly means? Today’s episode with Healer Chandra Scofield highlights how she was able to leave a job in corporate America to pursue a career in alternative medicine, her true calling. Chandra illuminates how and why people find themselves stressed in their day to day, and hopes to inspire listeners to pursue their passion.
