👏🏻 I am so excited to introduce my friend James Dunn to the podcast! James is a motivational mindset coach and podcast host, who turned his life around after being arrested for attempted armed robbery at 17 years old. You heard that right! Sometimes things happen in our lives that can create a voice of self doubt, questioning and not believing in what we are capable of. Well James is passionate about silencing that voice and helping people get out of their own way, taking them from unsure, to unstoppable! Tune in to hear his powerful story of transformation and how he got to where he is today! One thing I also love about James is his authenticity, so if you’re a Mama listening to this episode and your kiddos are around, you might want to put the air pods in for this one, because we do let a few F bombs fly and even chat about why in the episode! So let’s dive into this juicy chat! 🎉

🔥 Key Highlights:
• When you stay true to yourself and how you genuinely communicate, you might repel some people, while also attracting the right people.
• James shares his story of growing up adopted with an alcoholic father, and how the need for attention would eventually escalate to his attempted armed robbery arrest and other crimes- a pivotal point in him deciding this was not the path he wanted to be on.
• You can have all the right advice and wisdom, but until you can take action, implement it and put in the work, you won’t see any changes.
• Finding like-minded people who are in the same in-between stage as yourself, who are overcoming similar challenges.
• Growing your business or podcast is like a marathon. You need to build the foundation slowly over time, so you can actually be ready for your dream goals and opportunities.

I hope James’ story inspires you to work through your own limiting beliefs and what could be holding you back from living the incredible life you deserve! If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend you think might need to hear it right now! 🥰

This episode specifically, is all about a formula I’ve crafted to ensure your success as a guest on someone else’s podcast. This recipe is perfect for taking hold of the opportunities that can come with being in front of a whole new audience and presenting what you have to offer so they are hooked! 🪝

💡Key Highlights:
• Going through my “PROFIT” strategy letter by letter, step by step.
• Being strategic and preparing as a guest for that specific podcast.
• Expanding on and utilizing your freebie, or some other kind of offering.

☕ Over the weekend, on a morning walk with matcha lattes in hand, my friend asked me, “How did you grow your email list so quickly?” I had just finished explaining that we had grown the Podcast(h)er email list last year by over 650 people, AND we only started half way through the year! So in today’s episode I’ll be discussing how taking the time to develop some truly powerful lead magnets that your ideal listener needs and wants in their life, is one of the secrets to expanding your reach, your overall credibility and growing your audience. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy and let’s dive into the goodness of lead magnets and how to make it work wonders for you! 🌟

🔑  Key Highlights:
• Gracefully extending an open invitation of value to your audience and avoiding “spammy” qualities.
• How your lead magnet is just the start of building a genuine relationship with your community.
• Sending your audience a variety of quality emails to create that bond and foundation of trust.
• Do you need multiple lead magnets?
• Not just relying on word of mouth and tips for getting it out into the world.

🧲 I also have a little bit of fun homework for you that will make your lead magnets stronger! Go into your personal inbox and observe what emails you tend to open vs the ones you consider cringe. See what you can gather here! Remember, lead magnets are not just this magical tool to collect emails, it is the catalyst for creating deep connections and expanding your community! So get started, even if it’s messy! 🥰
