Into The Wild

Hey you wild women! ⁣ ⁣ This week, I chat with a woman who wears many hats, the one and only Angie Lee. She's an entrepreneur, influencer, comedian, founder of the 8-figure wellness brand Soul CBD and host of The Angie Lee Show, a top Forbes podcast with millions of downloads. ⁣ ⁣ As a child, Angie had that feeling (maybe you, or your kids know the one) of being different. Always creative, she struggled to sit through class, finish a book, and would even paint her room a different color on a weekly basis! It all made sense after a brain scan confirmed the diagnosis of ADHD. ⁣ ⁣ Since then, Angie has learned how to embrace her neurodiverse brain, using it as a tool in her entrepreneurial endeavors. She's also become the ultimate biohacker — optimizing her food, nutrition, and supplements to help her manage her condition and succeed in business. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode, Angie and I discuss why we think that most successful entrepreneurs have inklings of ADHD, and how to manage it naturally for better cognitive function. It takes time to build these healthy habits and get dialed in, but if you're committed, you can increase your energy and output throughout the day. From exercise to salt lamps, Angie has found a way to take her diagnosis and make it her superpower in business. ⁣ ⁣ "Entrepreneurship is probably the number one job for the ADHD. If leveraged properly, it is such a strength." - Angie Lee⁣ ⁣ In this episode you will learn about:⁣

• How to use ADHD as an advantage in entrepreneurship.⁣⁣
• Investigating the healing power of CBD.⁣
• Biohacks to optimize your sleep, nutrition and movement for more productivity.⁣⁣
• Why sleeping well can change your entire life.⁣
• How to increase and manage your energy throughout the day.⁣
• How neurodiversity contributes to creativity. ⁣

Hey you wild women!

This week, I chat with Kristina Schlegel, former Silicon Valley developer, trained pastry chef, and founder of Make Bake, a food & craft company that specializes in edible baking stickers and decorations. She has over 20 years of experience creating category-defining products and customer experiences that deliver strategic, measurable growth for businesses.

In this episode, we discuss how Kristina used her knowledge and interest in baking to launch Make Bake in January 2020, and how the pandemic forced her to pause and reposition her brand. We also get real about the challenges of growing a consumer goods business, the key differences between direct-to-consumer (D2C) and wholesale models, and some practical steps for anyone looking to test their product idea. Kristina reveals why being intimately connected with your buyers is one of the best strategies you can use when growing and developing products.

We also talk about the importance of enjoying the stages of running a small business, instead of constantly being fixated on scaling up too quickly.

Whether you're in the early stages of product development or looking to refine your customer experience, join us for this great conversion!

In this episode you will learn about:

• Strategies to move your small business forward on a budget

• The value of forging close relationships with customers for product insights

• Setting realistic growth expectations that fit your life and resources

• How easily we feel the pressure to scale too quickly

• Taking the long view of success to grow your business sustainably

Jana and I discuss this system of inner healing - from releasing past traumas to reframing old narratives that no longer serve us. We also chat on the importance of addressing the deeper meaning behind what is causing fear and anxiety so you can finally step into your greatness.

In this episode you will learn about:

• The power of integrative healing
• Why healing is a lifelong journey for everyone

It's getting radically clear on what your ideal life looks like and how you can make more time space for the things that matter most to you.

Many of us struggle to delegate tasks in our business or home lives because we feel guilty, or even feel like we're failing. In this episode, Geomyra and I discuss the importance of systems, how being well-rounded is different than the idea of balance, and why asking for help is a win-win for everyone involved. Plus, why this strategy just might be the key to better relationships, more productivity, and overall achievement.

Geomyra's story is one of resilience and shows us how it's often our hardest moments that shape us into who we're meant to be. And how sometimes as humans, we need to sit in our mess before we can pick up the pieces and truly move forward. In her own words, at the end of a storm, there are plans for greatness on the other side.

In this episode you will learn about:

• How to find out what you need to get more out of your life
• How to have more dates with your husband or kids
• How to cut the noise and nonsense so you can work smarter, not harder
• How to live a more well-rounded life on your terms

Want to get ahead in business and life? Here's the solution: Pour your energy into something you love. Then commit to taking daily action towards that thing.

More importantly, screw what everyone else thinks.

Seriously, screw it.

Nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing women create very low limits because they are afraid of disappointing their mothers, worried about the backlash if they shine brighter than their peers, or feel shame in earning a lot of money because they were told it is selfish.

It's a story that I've seen hundreds of times with women at every stage in business, and this is why I had to have Jen Gottlieb, Co-founder of Super Connector Media and former VH1 co-host, on the show. She defied the odds and staked the claim to become one of the best motivational speakers ever. And hey, why the hell not?! She decided to stop pleasing everyone else to follow her dreams, and she's driving that bus 100 miles/hour down the freeway.

"Your subconscious is the thing that's driving the bus, and if it believes that you are the champion, it's going to help you take action in the way that is going to get you the things that you want." - Jen Gottlieb.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How to take rejection
• How confidence comes from consistently sticking with the commitments you make to yourself
• How failure doesn't ever feel as bad as the fear of the failure
• How to get really good at making NO your best friend
• The secrets to how she grew her agency

What it means to be a wild woman:

• It's to unapologetically speak your truth and go for what you want. - Jenn Gottlieb

• The best year blueprint

Not the mundane crap that keeps you busy but not productive. I am talking about sustainable ways to delegate, including procedures that teach you how to quickly and efficiently onboard contractors or employees.⁣ ⁣ These rules even apply to family life. In this episode, Dan and I discuss how we hired a night nanny when our kids were young and even outsourced daycare pick-up so that we could both jump on morning team calls without stress. We touch on everything else high performers should be delegating, like house cleaning, cooking, landscaping, pool maintenance, snow removal, and even gift buying. There is nothing you can't delegate. ⁣

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Why Dan wrote his book
• How to buy back your time (obviously)

Hey you wild women!

I know, I know, I knowwww....you hate shooting videos.

Me too!

The thought of having to get all dolled up, create the speaking notes, find the trending audio and hashtags, shoot and re-shoot one bajillion takes, and tie it all together to hopefully publish a video that goes viral, or at least your mom views and likes - makes you wonder what more you could have done with your time.

All for what? The faith that it will make you famous and get you flooded with clients.

Here's to dreaming 🥂

Or not. As this week's guest explains, "Pick up your phone and film. It's never going to be perfect. If the information is good, people won't care about the production value," she is so right. I had a little Reel go viral (248k views) last fall, and while I didn't see a direct customer come from it, I did get more relevant and engaged followers. It also helped one prospect relate to me enough to be confident in hiring me (soooo it did garner me a sale!)

Videos are intimidating at first, but Elise Darma explains to us why they are important and how to get started. Elise Darma is a marketing coach who specializes in helping not-so-Insta-famous business people make actual revenue directly from social media. She's helped over 30,000 people grow their businesses, sell more programs, and build money-making brands. Elise has been featured for her expertise in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Digital Marketer, and Social Media Examiner.

In this episode, Elise and I discuss the why behind the importance of creating social video content and the how and highlight how she stays consistent with content creation and engagement.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Why social videos are important for your business
• How to create social media videos for your small business
• How to shoot viral social media videos
• How to create a social media content calendar
• How to create a social media video strategy
• Why video is the #1 connection point for your brand

Hey you wild women!

I used to live my life in a state of overwhelm. I was busy doing the stuff that felt productive but wasn't moving the needle. It was an avoidance mechanism because I was too afraid to succeed. Success meant more hours at the office, time away from my family, and putting my health on the back burner. I could coast if I put in more hours and could stop when things started to get good. Coasting was safe and predictable, but I never progressed as a result.

That eventually led me to burnout. I never learned the suitable systems to manage my business or how to delegate effectively. Ultimately, we established OKRs, implemented great project management systems, and adopted decent recruiting techniques, but the damage was already done. The hustle burned me out, and I eventually threw in the towel.

To say I *may* have regrets, well, sure. I built a great business, just a little ass-backward. But if I had to do it again, I would first implement what this week's guest, Jadah Sellner, highlights in this episode and her book SHE BUILDS: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life.

First thing I am doing starting today: Implementing support mechanisms!

"When we operate at this high level of ambition, creativity, output, and double duty of business and home life, we need a lot of support mechanisms in place to hold us as we grow." - Jadah Sellner

In this episode, you will learn about:

• The need for a support squad
• How to keep going despite the opposition
• How to stop doing things to impress others
• Why toughness is self-defined
• Understanding what is enough for you
• Calculating your enough number
• How the constant chase for more isn't fulfilling
• How to avoid the fear cycle that leads to exhaustion

What it means to be a wild woman:

• Being connected to your capacity for pleasure and in that place of power, asking yourself, "how do I turn myself on?" Removing the stigma that this is someone else's responsibility.

The last few years have taught us how offended people have become. I don't think that the collective sensitivity is growing, but people are more open and courageous to share, in public, how they feel. Unfortunately, while many more also find comfort in blabbering their thoughts from behind their screen, most don't give a sh*t about two-way dialogue. And that's where our problems fester - when we don't provide space for others to share their opinion without scrutiny.

What Rachel shares with us in this episode is how to stand in your truth fully so that you can be all of you without worrying who you offend because..." Your existence is an offense to someone, so give yourself permission to be offensive in your truth and faith and own all the parts of you. And then, from there, be curious."

If you must claim your ignorance, please start by understanding that you aren't right, nor are they, we have different truths, and that is ok.

After chatting with Rachel, I got all fired up and ready to start doing more and shining my light even brighter - by being a lighthouse - so that I can help light the way for all to see. She helped me better understand that I am supposed to have my feelings and that what I experience, my perspective, is what makes me, me. Your thoughts and actions, well, make you, you. It's a must-listen to episode.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How to get your team to support you during the toughest times
• We should never dismiss the grieving process
• Why you should never use being offended as a weapon
• Why we shouldn't try to change someone's belief system without giving them space to explain themselves
• There is no such thing as reverse racism

What it means to be a wild woman:

• Freedom to be, whatever being means to you.
