Earn Your Happy

You could have the perfect offer and still get ignored. In this episode, I’m sharing the (no longer) secret weapon that will grab more attention and make you more money in your business. Storytelling is one of the most valuable skills you can build as an entrepreneur. I break down what I’m learning from studying great storytellers, how the right story can make people care about something they would normally scroll right past, and why this skill can make your ideas, offers, and brand more memorable. Plus, I share the unexpected way practicing storytelling is changing how I experience my own life. Get ready to communicate your ideas in a way people actually remember, and make what you’re selling matter to the people you want to reach.

How long have you been “working on” an idea that you could have already launched? In this episode, Chris and I talk about why your first launch doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to happen. We break down what we learned from launching Found Trip and Million Dollar Guest, why the first version is really about testing for product-market fit and getting feedback, and why you have to keep marketing even when you don’t get an immediate response. Tune in for a reminder to stop getting ready to get ready, put your idea out there, and let the feedback help you make it better.

What if your strongest, most confident, most successful years are still ahead of you? In this episode, I sit down with Alicia Erickson to completely flip the script on what life can look like in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. Alicia shares how she transformed her body, rebuilt her confidence, got sober, and stepped into an entirely new career that took off in her 50s. We talk about breaking the beliefs that tell you it’s too late, building habits that actually last, surrounding yourself with people who reinforce what’s possible, and having the courage to go after a new version of your life before you feel ready. If you need proof that you can become stronger, healthier, more confident, and create an entirely new chapter at any age, this conversation is for you.
