February 19, 2025Trae Bodge's Lessons on Exiting, Passion, and Carving Your Path
Trae Bodge is a successful lifestyle writer and TV commentator who made the brave leap from beauty brand founder to creating her own unique space in retail and shopping expertise. I loved discussing our shared experiences of separating our identities from our corporate personas. After Trae left RetailMeNot, she discovered that her value wasn't tied to a corporate email address or brand name, but rather to their skills, relationships, and reliability.
One of my favorite moments was discussing those inevitable TV mishaps, like when Steve Harvey and Rachael Ray mispronounced Trae’s name on air. But what really resonated was Trae’s advice about finding "white space" - not just following your passion, but identifying what people actually need and where there's room in the market. Her journey from beauty entrepreneur to becoming one of the go-to shopping experts for major networks is a testament to the power of reinvention and staying true to your expertise. And now, she's launching a foundation to help other midlife entrepreneurs, which perfectly exemplifies how success can come full circle into giving back.
You will learn:
How to network even when it’s frustrating - 3:14
How to become self made through innovation - 11:12
How to overcome a layoff - 14:20
How to gain confidence as a freelancer - 21:08

February 07, 2025What Hamilton Has to Do With Your Content & Thought Leadership
I saw Hamilton on Broadway with my daughter - the day after I gave a keynote speech at Inman Connect NYC. I had a huge aha moment for you that I wanted to share. The song “The Room Where It Happens” was stuck in my head (amazing ear worm!), and it’s about the closed-door meetings where political deals get made. But more relevant is that I sat in the speaker Green Room at my keynote. I looked around and thought “I am in the room where it happens.” I am next to CEOs and titans of industry.
How did I get here? It’s not luck or happenstance.
By using my voice. By putting content out there. By not second-guessing and overthinking. No one can hear you if you’re not talking.
In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn:
What Hamilton has to do with your marketing
What to do to start putting your voice out there
What to stop telling yourself so you can be seen as a thought leader

January 22, 2025How a Toddler's Mishap Sparked Sharon Kevil's Lockable Furniture Forti Goods
In our latest episode of the Exit Interview, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sharon Kevil, the innovative founder of Forti Goods, the company behind app-controlled lockable furniture designed to keep your home both beautiful and secure. From her background in interior design to her journey creating a product-based business, Sharon’s story is an inspiring one. Like many of us entrepreneurs, she faced challenges transitioning from a steady paycheck at a large retailer to the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship. One of the key takeaways was Sharon’s emphasis on the importance of pivoting in business. She shared that pivoting isn’t a failure, but rather a necessary iteration in the growth process. This mindset has not only helped her manage her business more effectively but has also enabled her to better meet the needs of her customers by adapting to their ever-changing demands.
Sharon also shared some golden insights for those of us who are either working for ourselves or thinking about it. The transition from a stable paycheck to the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship is no small feat. Sharon had a previous business that she closed before the 2008 economic downturn, and the thought of never working for herself again crossed her mind. But life has a funny way of bringing us back to our passions. Sharon shared her challenges, particularly when it came to funding her product-based business, and highlighted the importance of staying flexible and ready to pivot. Trust me, this episode is a goldmine of motivation and practical advice!
You will learn:
Shares how she started a safe furniture company - 4:15
The importance of pivoting - 11:33
The hardest parts about being a founder - 15:27

January 15, 2025How to Outsource the Household Stuff You Hate Doing with Sage Haus Founder Kelly Hubbell
After Kelly Hubbell was working a corporate job and did a time audit she realized she was spending another 22 hours managing her household! That realization that she needed to outsource more tasks led her to found Sage Haus.
Kelly is a mom of three and Sage Haus, is her platform dedicated to helping busy parents reclaim their time and energy by building their village and outsourcing the mental load. Her mission is to ensure moms (on any budget!) get the support they deserve so they can feel more present in everything they do—whether it's enjoying time with their families, growing their career, or pursuing personal passions.
Kelly and I have a great conversation about the stigma of the ‘supermom,’ how to truly value our own time, and figure out who we can hire to help us. She gives ‘permission’ to parents looking to lower their stress, have a more harmonious home and has empowered thousands of parents to go from chaos to control, helping them build a village that includes the right family assistant, house manager, or meal prep chef. She also shares the challenges of launching her own business and the pivots within that.

How she’s expanded and pivoted her business - 8:06
How to run a time audit - 11:52
How to figure out who to hire - 16:08
