Recruit the Employer

I'm a big believer in loving your coworkers. Think about it: you spend 8+ hours a day alongside these people! For many of us, that's more time than we spend with a significant other or outside-of-work friends. If we allow ourselves, our workplaces could be a place to find and nurture rich relationships.

If you want to shower your coworkers with some gift-giving this holiday season, I've compiled an episode full of my FAVORITE things to gift your team.

And for some extra fun, I invited my co-worker to join me! On this episode, my Marketing Manager Sarah jumped in on the holiday fun with me! So these are our favorites together for you to love on your co-workers this holiday season.

Today is a REALLY fun episode that was not originally planned when we were mapping out Season 3. Mostly, because we had no idea that I was going to get featured on Jenna Kutcher's Goal Digger podcast.

After that interview, I got a boatload of followers, connections on Linkedin, emails, and increased my following a lot. So I polled my audience and asked if they wanted to know how I got on Jenna Kutcher's podcast. And I got a resounding "YES!"...so I'm giving the people what they want today!

BUT today's episode is not just going to teach you how to get on a major podcast. I also want to help you:

• Change your mindset & get over the fear of rejection
• Show you how to set goals...and follow through on them
• How I prepared for the interview
• Share what I learned from that experience...and what I still have to work on
• And then share with you the exact script I used to land the interview

Be bold. Be courageous - you never know what is on the other side of an ask.
