Permission to CEO

In this episode we meet with Chelcie Scott, the CEO of Sweat It Off. Chelcie Scott is a fitness & sports performance coach who specializes in high-intensity, interval training. When not training she's inspiring through her social platform @chelcie.scott and uplifting women by helping them overcome physical, mental, and spiritual barriers.

We dive in and get into the details behind her upbringing and inspiration towards creating Sweat It Off, life as a mother/business owner and how she manages both. We go over the definition of success, whether we think there is an end goal to the things we passionately pursue and how she addressed the feeling of imposter syndrome as her business grew.

With training being her focus, Chelcie gives her honest opinion on the importance of working out, how it can benefit you in ways outside of the gym and key tips to help you include physical fitness into your busy life routine. This is a great episode for anyone struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance!

In this week's episode, we're back for part 2 of our discussion about Paid Ads vs Organic Marketing with Maya Elious. We get personal here about burnout and the struggle between managing our personal lives and building an organic audience.

Tune in as we discuss time management when marketing, how we manage to keep up to date with all of today's social apps and deciding which platforms are worth the effort. Is it best to do everything yourself or when should we just pay for help? We go over all of this and more in our Pt. 2 series of Powered Chat with our guest Maya Elious.

"All of the social platforms are now stopping us from running the same ad so now the emphasis is on constant content creation." - Abu Fofanah

In this week's Powered Chats, we talk about one of my mentors in the life lessons I learned from her at the very beginning of my entrepreneurial journey.

You'll learn about one of the most favorite moments of my life when I wanted to leave corporate and get into entrepreneurship. This transition didn't happen right away because there was still so much I needed to learn.

I'm so excited to bring you the first of many Powered Chats.
