🎙️ EPISODE DESCRIPTION

“Would you bet on a teenager to build a multi-million-dollar online empire?”

At just 19 years old, Drew Carmichael has already generated over $3 million online — $400,000 for himself and more than $3 million for clients. But his success story didn’t begin with shortcuts. It began with grit.

Drew’s family history traces back to surviving a Nazi concentration camp — a legacy of resilience that shaped his relentless work ethic. That same hustle drove him to hit six figures before adulthood and eventually launch The Cultivator, Australia’s plug-and-play growth engine for e-commerce stores and service businesses.

In this powerful conversation, Drew shares the exact playbook entrepreneurs need to fix broken offers, patch underperforming funnels, and turn paid traffic into predictable profit. He breaks down the most important metrics to track, the marketing trends to leverage in 2025, and how to scale internationally — even when battling imposter syndrome.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “too young,” “too late,” or “starting with too little,” this episode will challenge that belief.

Because leadership isn’t about age.

Tune in and discover how to build, scale, and lead with confidence.

What if your brand isn’t something you create… but something you uncover?

In this powerful episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, Vicki Noethling sits down with holistic brand therapist Hersh Rephun to explore why self-awareness is the foundation of authentic branding.

After achieving success in several niche businesses, Hersh found himself frustrated. He knew his mission — but struggled to articulate it in a way that resonated. That frustration led him on a five-year personal development journey. Drawing on two decades of experience in brand strategy and creative direction, he emerged with a breakthrough philosophy: Know yourself before you brand yourself.

Today, Hersh serves spiritual and conscious entrepreneurs who want to package their passions, talents, and skills into high-value personal brands aligned with who they truly are.

In this conversation, Hersh and Vicki dive into:

Hersh shares candidly about losing his business during COVID and how that setback became the catalyst for his greatest breakthrough. His message is clear: branding isn’t about logos and taglines — it’s about identity, truth, courage, and integration.

If you’re building a business rooted in purpose and want your brand to reflect the real you — not a curated version — this episode will challenge and inspire you.

Because leadership confidence begins with self-awareness.

What if the very thing you’ve been trying to “fix” about yourself is your greatest leadership advantage?

After receiving a surprise ADHD diagnosis during the first year of her PhD, Skye Waterson turned personal struggle into purpose. Instead of forcing herself into traditional productivity models that didn’t work for her brain, she leaned into research, psychology, and lived experience to create practical, sustainable strategies designed specifically for neurodiverse entrepreneurs.

Skye went on to research and write more than 50 articles with a combined readership of over 250,000, and today she is the founder of Unconventional Organization, an internationally recognized coaching platform helping ADHD entrepreneurs work with their brains—not against them. With a background in psychology and firsthand understanding of neurodiversity, Skye has supported more than 800 entrepreneurs and executives in getting focused, following through, and growing without burnout.

She is also the host of the ADHD Skills Lab, which quickly became a trusted resource in the ADHD community with over 150,000 downloads. Skye has been featured on podcasts such as The Productivity Show, Faster Than Normal, ADHD Disrupt, and with the New Zealand Disability Employers’ Network.

In this powerful and practical conversation, we unpack what ADHD really is, how it impacts entrepreneurs, and how leaders can build businesses that support focus, consistency, and growth—without overwhelm or shame.

In this episode, we discuss:

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, inconsistent, or frustrated trying to “do business the right way,” this episode will give you clarity, permission, and tools to lead—and grow—more confidently.
