Happy Wednesday, friends! 🙂

On this weeks ep Erin solo intros (again) and talks about the power of friendship: both IRL and on the depths of the internet. Then, Erin and Diane discuss zooming out and analyzing team structure, Diane's passion for stress, and the importance of keeping your team happy.

Who's Diane Mayor?

Diane’s a business strategist who helps entrepreneurs build low-maintenance teams and high-performing businesses.

With over a decade of experience in the finance world in corporate, Diane knows exactly how to take small businesses from decision fatigue and information overwhelm to confidently taking the right action in the right way with the right people for their business.

As the Coffee and Converse Podcast host, she shares success strategies for life first entrepreneurs each week.

In her spare time, this spreadsheet-crazy, puzzle-solving, systems nerd is passionate about travel, live events, coffee, and Converse though not always in that order.

Diane's why:

Oooooh, Tough Question!

I used to say my core value was freedom but I've come to realize, as I stopped running away from my old corporate life, it's actually flexibility.

After years of doing the "right" thing and being told when and where I had to be and what I had to do, I now always want to be able to make my own decisions and rules and I want the same for my clients whether that's working hours, vacations, how they lead or serve, everything should be custom.

Ultimately, I view my business and podcast as a means to help online business owners to think differently or more deeply about how they do business.

Thank YOU for Wednesday!

In this episode, Erin intros solo and talks about the therapeutic power of rage walks as she actively takes one and the importance of honest organizational leadership. Then, Erin and Erica discuss Erica's start into wedding photography, focusing on the client's full experience, and navigating the dynamics of a wedding day.

Who's Erica Leman?

Erica Leman is an ethical sales strategist and business coach for wedding photographers with heart. (Also see: wife, animal lover, anti-racist feminist, friend.)

She's been a wedding photographer for 12+ years and has navigated the ups and downs of business and life while creating a consistent flow of dream clients who respect her boundaries, pay on time, and are a true JOY to work with. (You can see them here, if you’re nosey 😉)

When she's not photographing and coaching freaking awesome people, you can find her sitting on the couch in her husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling all of her pets (she has four - it’s exorbitant, she knows), editing, podcasting, and, generally, creating. She's an enneagram 2 and a manifesting generator, so she thrives when she's creating new things for the benefit of others.

She loves the wedding industry, she loves serving clients, and she loves supporting women. In being a part of this industry as a woman for over a decade, she's realized that the wedding industry targets women in how and what they sell, but the tactics used are gross and patriarchal. She's disgusted by it, and also bored. For an industry that thrives on creativity and newness, the sales strategies still being used sure are boring and outdated. Can’t we get some new stuff up in here?!

She's here to help women succeed in business and make more money because when they do, they change the world (according to the Googles), and she thinks we can all agree that this world needs some changing.

Erica's why:

I wholeheartedly believe I am here on this earth to serve and support others . For wedding photography clients, this looks like being a supportive presence and cheerleader on a wedding day. For wedding photographers, this looks like teaching them the tools I've used to succeed in business so that they can replicate that success.

Happy Wednesday, we got you a new ep! 🎂

On this episode, Erin and Alex talk about meeting Kate Thomas IRL, drawing things upside down, and failing their art classes. Then, Erin and Kate discuss navigating the art world, gaining confidence in sales, and WTF art/artists even is/are anyway.

Who is Kate Thomas?

Kate Thomas has been creating since she was a little girl. She studied Fine Art in college and hasn't stop painting since officially launching Kate Thomas Art in 2011 - her home studio currently based in Norfolk, VA. Kate has always been enamored by the forces of nature; the power of a big sky, the boldness of true mountains, and the cleansing of crashing waves and brings that through in her abstract pieces. Kate is the mom of 3, wife of one, and in addition to painting, teaches watercolor classes and loves supporting other artists in setting up businesses that work for them. She has been known to dabble in improv comedy with Alex and Erin, too!

Looking for art? Kate's got your back!

Facebook: @ArtistKateThomas

Instagram: @KateThomasArt

Or at her website https://www.katethomasart.com/ (which is currently getting updated, but will be up soon!)

Kate's Why:

It's just in me to create. It's a life blood for me. I want to use it as a vehicle to being some light and beauty into a heavy world. I want my art to invite people to connect with themselves and the world around them in a deeper way, and I want to provide a visual escape, a sigh of relief, or wonder, peace or joy to who ever needs it.

It's another Wednesday! And another Wednesday means another new pod episode! 🎉

This week Alex and I talk about Virgo season, being adults, and improv classes.

Then, Jamie and I get into burning everything down, rolling in the dirt, and her new program, Bloom. Maybe we'll pick up a couple worms along the way. 🪱

Who IS Jamie Jensen?

Jamie Jensen hails from Queens, NY and is an award-winning writer for screens of all sizes and a coach to creative multi-hyphenates like herself. The “wizard behind the curtain” to many renowned spirituality, relationship, wellness, and female empowerment brands, Jamie grew her consulting and copywriting business into a micro-agency where she built and led a team of writers before pivoting back to private work.

Jamie writes, speaks, and teaches on the power of story and has worked with over 3,000 entrepreneurs on their personal narrative, increasing their sales up to 900%. She is a graduate of NYU’s Gallatin Program and USC’s Stark Producing Program, and her two latest feature films are currently in the packaging process. When she’s not writing movies, novels, or pilots or helping clients develop their Ted talks, books, and campaigns, Jamie can be found practicing yoga, pulling oracle cards, or introvert’ing real hard with a book or online course.

Find Jamie on Instagram at @jamielynnjensen or at her website, thejamiejensen.com

Jamie's Why:

Expressing our most vulnerable truths is the most difficult and most important work we'll ever do. That's the one thing I'm most dedicated to -- interpersonally, personally, and professionally. That is what I help my clients do.
