Fearless Business Podcast

 

Today Jamie talks with someone we’ve heard a lot about that’s usually behind the scenes: BreAnne Gillepsie, Director of Operations at Hashtag Legal!

 

BreAnne worked in the fashion industry for about 13 years when it became time for a career change. She was then introduced to Jamie by a mutual friend and the rest is history! The ladies talk about what BreAnne does as Operations Director, what it’s like to work directly with the founder of a company, and how she works with Jamie’s personality type as a visionary and founder. 

 

They go into more detail about: 

> BreAnne’s job responsibilities at Hashtag Legal and her favorite things to do

> How she stays organized in a company with many things going on

> Which tools she uses to stay organized

> Advice for a founder that needs all the help

Many of us have blurred the lines of time management. Especially while so many are trying to figure out how to balance time for work, time for family and time for ourselves… all in the same 4 walls.

The ladies cover all things time management in this episode, including:

> Common mistakes people make when thinking about time management

> The difference between a list and a system

> The myth of multitasking and tips for “single-tasking”

We have said it before and we’re saying it again - processes are important! Mary loves them and Jamie is learning to love them more and more! 

 

Due to the pandemic, many families are working from home, schooling from home, homing from home. It’s A LOT. It can result in missing any semblance of work life balance and the lack of boundaries can cause issues. If the boundaries aren’t set, the burnout is real. 

 

This month we will be going into all things productivity and business operations. Jamie and Mary talk about the benefits of hiring someone to manage operations for you. Listen in for some lessons and (side note) if this is a skill you have, it isn’t always easy to do for your own business! 

 

We will be bringing on experts in these areas while retraining ourselves to manage our productivity and business operations like champs! 

 

Please join us in the HQ and let us know - do you color code your calendar? Or are you just thankful to have one set up? Feel free to share pictures for inspiration!

Allyship is at the forefront of many of our minds. Many of us are asking the valid question: “What can we do to help?!” Today Jamie is talking with Jennifer Hutton of the membership community Building Allyship. She is working to help us all answer this very question! 

 

Jennifer is a pediatric physical therapist that works with the developmentally delayed population, as well as children with neurological and orthopedic diagnoses, both congenital and acquired. Jennifer loves to showcase her “pop stars” and share creative treatment ideas on Instagram (be sure to follow her there!). 

 

As a Black woman, Jennifer knows what it is like to identify as different, and it has helped in her quest to be an ally for children with disabilities inside and outside of the clinic. Now she is educating others on how to be effective allies to BIPOC and other marginalized communities through her membership program Building Allyship. Her mission for Building Allyship is to facilitate a space of connection, accountability, community learning, and to help others strengthen their voice and stance as allies in their own communities. 

 

Jamie and Jennifer talk all about Building Allyship and how it came to fruition. Some of the topics they cover are: 

> How Jennifer saw the need and made it her own

> How she made the decision that it was time to go out on her own

> Following signs vs setting goals

> The importance of community

Happy September! Back to school - whatever that looks like for everyone!

 

This leads us right into what we want to cover this month. We’ve chatted a bit about this before with Hilary Erickson in Episode 95: You Can Create a Course, and more and more people are offering a community as a part of a course they’re selling. But focusing on community, for the sake of community, hits it home in a different, more emotional, way.

 

Courses, memberships and communities are not as easy as some may think, but we’re hoping to be able to help ease the fear of the whole process.

 

Stay tuned for more in the month of September as we bring you experts to talk about:

> Selling courses

> Cultivating community

> Marketing your product

> And protecting your product! (Diving deeper into what we covered in Episode 79: So Have a Copycat)

 

Please join us in the HQ and tell us what has been the most valuable course you’ve taken. What communities and memberships are you a part of and just totally love? And if you have your own course, membership or community - share it with us so we can celebrate you!
