Mind Your Business

What separates the good from the great is persistence, not giving up, especially in uncertain times. This applies in all area of life.

Andy Grammer has taken the music world by storm with a succession of pop hits, seven of which are certified gold or better. However, if you were to ask Grammer what he’s most proud of he would tell you that he relishes in the privilege to impact fan’s lives through music and culture. His latest album Naive went straight to #1 Pop Album the day of release and included his latest hit single, “Don’t Give Up on Me.” As a writer and poet, Grammer has written hundreds of songs with other Grammy nominated artists (One Republic, Galantis, R3hab, Backstreet Boys, Miranda Lambert, and Hunter Hayes), and many of them have been placed in TV and Film.

His journey was far from an easy one - and he had to work unbelievably hard for his talent and success every step of the way. He played and busked on street corners in California for years before somebody took notice of him, and gave him a chance! His story is full of perseverance and is inspiring, motivating and actionable for everyone to learn from.

He created a money making empire creating viral videos featuring...his Grandma! Ross started off on the app Vine, building a massive following, but in 2017 the app was suddenly shut down leaving Ross with nothing. Ross questioned if his future in social media would happen, but like all great entrepreneurs, he persevered. Ross is an absolute savage with social media and building a brand, and he is sharing that wisdom with me today. If you're like me and struggle with social media, staying consistent and persevering through times, this is the interview for you!

Today I am chatting with Colton Underwood. Colton is best known as starring on The Bachelor, but what a lot of people don't know about him is that he is the founder of the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation. This phenomenal foundation is a US wide non-profit organization helping to support and improve the lives of patients living with Cystic Fibrosis. Colton used his new found platform to grow the charity across the country. I loved that he took this opportunity in the spot light and used it to fuel such a beautiful mission. A great episode highlighting the importance of our achievements, and just how we want to be remembered.
