This is episode 37 of the Pam Sowder Podcast, with your host, Pam Sowder! Pam has over 2 decades of field and corporate experience and was voted one of the most influential women in direct selling. She helps match the daily needs of distributors to everyday life challenges.

This week, Pam is excited to bring you another fantastic guest — Cortney Bohr! Cortney is a top 10 money earner at It Works! Global. In fact, she is the first person in the history of It Works to make it to the top of the company twice! At only 24 years old, Cortney seems to have come on to the scene out of nowhere!

Cortney was born and raised in Martin City, Missouri, a small town with a population under 1,000. She originally joined It Works in April, 2014, when she was only 19 years old. Back then, she was going to school full-time while also juggling two jobs. Before she started in this industry, she always knew she wanted to work in the health field, so discovering It Works aligned perfectly with her passions!

In this week's episode, Pam and Cortney discuss her passion for industry, what some of the hardest obstacles have been during her journey, how she has managed to overcome self-limiting beliefs, what it really means to "work hard," and what it means to be authentic. Cortney also gives a sneak peak into what a day-in-the-life is like for her, the traits she looks for in those she recruits, and how she "stays in the game" — bringing her best self to work everyday!
