Industry Leader Interviews is a new series in The High-Level Entrepreneur podcast featuring industry leaders. In this interview, I have invited a special guest - Hayley Lloyd who is the founder of InAwe, an app that teaches breathwork & manifestation.

Hayley built a 7-figure coaching business and became a millionaire - and then walked away from it all to start over. She's had an incredible journey: from struggling with alcoholism and debt, to running a successful 7-figure business, to trusting her intuition enough to leave it behind and build InAwe from scratch.

In just over a year, Hayley grew InAwe's Instagram account to over 100k followers - something she credits entirely to manifestation and alignment. Because when you follow your true purpose, things just fall into place.

Today, we dig into her full story - the rock bottom, the rebuild, and the leap - how breathwork & manifestation have shaped her results, and what it actually looks like to trust your intuition enough to leave something successful behind for something bigger.

In this episode, I talk about why so many six-figure entrepreneurs struggle to move to the next level - not because they don't know what to do, but because they struggle to trust themselves, stay the course and make decisions aligned with the entrepreneur they want to become.

I also speak about self-trust, identity, long-term thinking & growth, and what actually changes when you stop making decisions from your current identity and start acting like the future version of you - especially when growth requires you to do things that feel uncomfortable, invest, raise your standards or go bigger than you've gone before.

Industry Leader Interviews is a new series in The High-Level Entrepreneur podcast featuring industry leaders. This summer, you'll have a new interview every Thursday - and after the summer, the series will continue sporadically with a new guest.

This interview is conducted in Swedish, and features Jennie Zetterström - a PR & crisis communication expert and true industry leader in her field. Jennie has broken every expectation of what's possible as a PR consultant - going from selling hourly rates to building a personal brand that made her the obvious choice in her industry, publishing a book, attracting premium clients and 2x her revenue without working more.

In this episode, Jenny shares how she built her industry leadership through media visibility & personal branding - and why the shift from selling her time to selling premium packages changed everything. We also talk about how to become a more compelling speaker, how to get featured in media even without a big following, and how the right visibility can give you a level of credibility that accelerates your industry leadership.

This interview features Marianne Lehikoinen - a seven-figure entrepreneur, founder & business strategist who helps experts build scalable, system-led companies that can grow beyond the founder.

In this episode, Marianne shares her nearly 10-year entrepreneurial journey - from starting her first business at just 20 years old, taking bold risks long before success was guaranteed, and building a $1M+ business, to navigating the leadership challenges that came with fast growth.

We talk about why the business model that got her to her first $1M wasn't the one that took her further, how she transformed a founder-dependent business into a scalable company, and why sustainable growth requires becoming the leader your business needs at every new level.

This interview is conducted in Swedish, and features Dorotea Pettersson -  a growth partner and industry leader who helps entrepreneurs build the structure, systems and planning they need to scale their businesses. 

In this episode, we talk about why structure isn't the opposite of freedom - it's what makes freedom possible. Dorotea shares why so many entrepreneurs lose momentum by operating without clear systems, how to build a sales and client journey that actually supports growth, and why delegation starts long before you hire someone.

We also discuss Dorotea's journey from lower-priced offers to premium services, the mindset shifts that came with charging more, why surrounding yourself with people who think bigger matters, and how the right environment can completely change the way you grow your business.

Erica shares how she positioned herself as something completely different from a business coach or traditional copywriter, how she hit over $100K in revenue last year simply by selling through her copy to premium clients, and why most entrepreneurs overcomplicate their content. 

We also get honest about the harder side of entrepreneurship -  how childhood trauma can show up in your business in ways you'd never expect, what it actually takes to push through the tough periods without giving up, and why investing in yourself is just as important as investing in your strategy.

In this episode, I talk about a challenge that almost every six & multi-six figure entrepreneur I work with brings up at some point: feeling like you're always the most ambitious person in the room. 

While other people see you as inspiring, successful and confident, you may find yourself craving deeper conversations, bigger goals and people who genuinely challenge the way you think.

I share why I believe this can become a real business problem, how the people around you influence what's possible for you, and why being surrounded by the right mentors, peers and expanders can change  what's possible for you and your business.
