Welcome to the 13th episode of Take the Leap's third season. In this episode, we’re joined by Mady Spry, professional dancer turned marketing entrepreneur and the founder of High Topp Marketing. Mady shares how burnout during COVID sparked an unexpected pivot from hospitality into social media marketing, how she taught herself (hello, YouTube University), and why entrepreneurship helped her build confidence, income, and boundaries.
Some of our favorite takeaways from this episode include:
- Self-taught skills count. From TikTok + YouTube learning to real-world trial and error, Mady built confidence by doing the work and improving along the way.
- Imposter syndrome is expensive. Early on Mady downplayed her rates and now encourages entrepreneurs to trust their expertise and charge accordingly.
- Consistency beats random bursts. Dormant accounts and 18 stories a day, then nothing for a wee,k won’t build results. Social media success takes time and repetition.
