Day in the Life

Katie Hunt of Tradeshow Bootcamp was one of my first PR clients that I started working with late last year and I'm so honored to be a part of her incredible team.

If you aren't familiar Katie, Tradeshow Bootcamp offers educational workshops (both online and in person!) to creative entrepreneurs who want to learn how to sell wholesale, exhibit at tradeshows, and learn about a variety of business topics.

She's coached over 700 brands, some of who have products in Anthropologie, Hallmark, Target, and more. The TSBC alumni community and the support they have for one another is exceptional and I feel super lucky to get to be a part of it.

In today's episode, you'll find out:

• Why she doesn't schedule meetings before 10am.
• How her and her husband tag team the mornings.
• How she went from working in her corporate job in the law industry to work in the creative entrepreneur space selling stationery on Etsy.
• How Tradeshow Bootcamp came to be and what motivated her to start this business.
• How she keeps track of all of the moving pieces of her business.
• The moment she felt ready enough to finally leave her full-time corporate job and take her business full-time.
• Why she doesn't outsource her social media management for the TSBC brand.
• One of her biggest struggles she's had running a business and being an entrepreneur.
• Her fears about outsourcing and hiring a team.
• A big misconception people have about being an entrepreneur.

Ever wonder what a day in the life is like for an Online Life Coach? Now's your chance!

Kali Rogers of Blush Online Life Coaching was one of my first business BFFs and now good friend and client.

Kali's story of how she started her business is so inspiring to me and I love her witty personality and generous demeanor. She's helped me have a lot of business breakthroughs and I feel so fortunate to call her a friend.

In addition to chatting about how she started Blush, we of course chat about a typical day in her life. She doesn't stick to the traditional entrepreneur mindset of getting up at 5 am, which is a refreshing revelation as many people assume to run a successful business you have to be a morning person.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

In today's episode, you'll find out:

• Why she's not a morning person and why she gave up coffee for good.
• How Blush came to be and how she pitched herself to a big company (and failed).
• How Blush works and who it's for.
• What Kali thinks people misconceive about being a life coach.
• What the difference between life coaching and counseling is and the stigmas behind each.
• Why Kali hates having her day completely planned out ahead of time and why setting intentions works best for her.
• Why Kali doesn't formally "exercise" and walks instead.

I have to admit, talking with Andrew was one of the most fun conversations I've been able to record thus far. He was just so easy to talk to, it felt like we had been longtime friends.

Anyways, Andrew shares a lot of the juicy scoop on what it was really like to work for one of the biggest Hollywood agencies in the world, William Morris Endeavor (WME).

If you are familiar with the popular show Entourage, Andrew was basically like a real-life Lloyd (Ari Gold's assistant). As a super fan of that show, you can imagine my excitement at getting the inside scoop.

• How he decided to quit law and go into the entertainment industry
