From Hustle to Hell Yes

Brian Anderson of Fathering Together joins the podcast today, shining a light on the power of community and why community pairs so well with movement making and business building.

Tara captured my attention with her keen emphasis on repeatable processes, and the fact that she really knows how to frame negativity in a transformative way. 

Plus, she tells the best stories, you'll want to listen up especially when we start talking about how her multi level marketer friend wasn't selling candles after all, Dawn dish soap and what we can learn from it. And her meaningful unique hook pointers are solid gold - and more important than ever if you want to stand out online.

I’ve heard a lot of successful business owners talk about their “biz bestie” but they don’t often share what that relationship looks like, how it started, and how they really help each other. Today I’m interviewing one of my business besties - the amazing Laura Russel of The Joyful Uprising. We'll be talking a bit about her business, self care strategies, and a whole lot about how we support each other in our weekly meetups, keeping us on track and pushing us both in the best of ways. 

I almost certainly would have quit my business if not for Laura - she’s basically my invisible business partner and I’m really excited to share how this type of relationship works and how it can be a really powerful part of your web of support as a business owner.

Have you heard that old adage, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."? 

I'm here to tell you that as far as your business is concerned, it can be (and should be) both!

Small business owners and entrepreneurs are known for forging their own path, and often solo (at least in the beginning). But, as one business owner I talked to put it, “My collaboration crew is crucial to my success & mental wellbeing." And yet another framed it this way: “In my experience, all of my business success has happened when my community has helped me make it happen.”

It's no secret that having a web of support behind you and your business makes the journey less of a lonely struggle, but there are a lot more benefits beyond that AND some key ingredients to look for as you create your own small biz squad.

Purpose and Pleasure. 

To me, these are also the keys to being a resilient human, and building a resilient business. On today’s episode of From Hustle to Hell Yes, we’re going to focus on that last one: PLEASURE. You’re inherently resilient - all humans are - but we all need reinforcements, you know what I’m saying?!

Time. It’s a tricky thing. And our relationship to it… well, it’s complicated.

“I’m so busy” is practically an anthem in our world. 

And sometimes I wonder… what are we so busy about? 

Let's take a look at our relationship to time and what that has to do with resilience.

Online business was a world I didn’t know how to navigate AT ALL when I shifted to being completely online! Maybe you can relate - you see the sales copy and tactics seemingly successful business owners are using and you try them on, you try to mimic what you see other people doing… but something just feels… off. 

Enter Mia Francis-Poulin and Copy Haus, where I found the exact inspiration I needed to step fully into my integrity and create my own path: the Copy Haus Manifesto. 

In this interview, Mia shares her insights on:

>>> Changing her entire business model

It’s estimated that around 70% of people will suffer through it at least once in their life.

Perhaps you’ve experienced it yourself.

So what is this insidious condition? Imposter syndrome. 

This week on From Hustle to Hell Yes, I’m putting imposter syndrome under the microscope. Join me as I dig into:

Rachael Kay Albers is a creative director, business comedian, and brand strategist gone wild. Think of her as the court jester of online business. When she’s not muckraking about marketing and the intersections of pop culture, branding, tech, and identity, Rachael runs RKA ink, a reinvention studio and branding agency for businesses that burn the rulebook. And today, we’re going to talk about what RKA knows best - branding. 

This is NOT an intro to branding conversation we’re about to have. We’re busting myths and having real talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of brand strategy.

Whenever I hear an entrepreneur asked, "What do you attribute your success to?" I know what's coming next: "Hard work."

Hard work is just one tool in your toolbox when you're building a business. Today, we talk about the other tools you can use to get the job done.

Marisa Corcoran is an actor-turned-copywriting mentor who helps business owners write with creativity and real dazzle. She helped me re-energize my website when it needed a significant overhaul. I can literally look over my email analytics and tell which emails I sought her advice on - because the open rates and click through rates always go way up! Today we dig into:

So buckle up, because this is gonna be a ride!
