Today I sit down with one of my personal mentors and funny enough... my AUNT DeAnna Busby-Rast. Our conversation goes beyond this podcast, however, in the short amount of time I was able to pick her brain we uncovered a number of golden nuggets. DeAnna is an absolute sales queen, who is responsible for growing multiple different companies by MILLIONS. After a very lucrative career in sales, she took the biggest leap of her life which was starting her own business. Now, she helps people find and create fulfillment in their careers. This is a phenomenal episode, so buckle up.

Yours,

AJ

You know how TV shows take a small hiatus in between filming seasons? Yeah this wasn't that, but I figured I'd ask the question anyways.

You want the truth? Okay deal. Well, I got unorganized in between growing my business, my relationships, and my podcast. Unfortunately, the podcast took a back seat for a while.

Over time though, you learn and evolve as a business owner and now we're coming back with more content than ever before. For those who kept listening to our episodes during our break, thank you for your continued support. I'm excited to get back in the swing of things and meet some of the greatest who ever did it in business.

Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride.

Welcome to our first episode with our new CO-HOST! This was a big deal not just for me but for the podcast, because now we're able to bring two completely different perspectives to you. One(mine), is of someone who is still relatively "green" in the industry and the other, is from someone who has really learned the ins and outs of what it means to grow a successful wedding company.

Today we talk about "our" truths when it comes to growing in the industry which sets up the perfect dynamic for our first collaborative podcast.

I got the WORST haircut. Not because of the way they cut my hair, but because of how freaking awkward it was. Which got me thinking, maybe they just didn't know how to work the room. I understand, there are plenty of introverted people because I myself can be introverted. However, this is a skill that can be learned, and a great skill at that.

Learning to dance (especially from Rebekah and Derek from Vintage Ballroom) can teach you a number of different skills. Throughout this conversation, I realized just how deep these lessons run. Everything from learning how it's a language that spans the globe, to understanding what it can teach you about not just "acting" confident, but also LOOKING confident. We go really into depth about body language and teach you things you can start doing RIGHT NOW to walk more confidently.
