      <title>Ep. 86 - Mindfulness and Self Awareness as a Business Owner with Gigi Thomas</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Gabrielle Thomas, founder of Gabrielle Thomas Consulting and co-founder of Under the Oaks. Gigi’s connection and love with health and wellness started on the front lines as a nurse in a hospital, then she moved into mental health and slowly made her way into alternative medicine. She worked as a practitioner for a couple of years with holistic nutrition, homeopathy and functional medicine. She transitioned even further into the marketing space for health and wellness providers. </p><p>A couple of months ago, Gigi had an aha moment. She saw the breadcrumbs of her career lead to this moment. When she was 19, she experienced paralyzing anxiety. Fast forwarding to later in life, she lost her mom and she didn’t realize at the time what she was doing but in helping her mom, she was very much involved in her healing process. Going through that as well as the grief process, she was in a very dark time with crushing grief. She realized she needed to do something for herself and for her daughter. </p><p>She started her first business as a whole food mobile service. That helped her compost that grief and it was a catalyst for getting out of the darkness she was in. From there she found healing. 5 years later, she transitioned out of that and into consulting work. She started virtual work at this time. She was pulled into the direction of marketing for health and wellness providers. She knew she needed to do this because it helps people live longer, healthier lives. </p><p>One of the most important lessons she’s learned in her career is you can’t change the outside if you don’t change the inside. So much about business is about courage and being straight with people. Courage always feels like the call to action. A lot of people believe that those who are accomplishing great things and are successful don’t have any fear. There’s a lot to be said about people who are willing to talk about their journey and the difficulty in building your business. </p><p>Gigi’s recommendation to others is being clear about where you are in the process matters. For those that are looking for their first 1000 users, content and press is very important but the tools for longer term growth is around virality and getting something out there that people want to share and get out there. SEO is an important tool as well as paid growth ads. </p><p>A common pitfall is selecting too many growth engines. The key is to master one and go really deep into it. As far as executing within your selected growth engine, Gigi likes to use a simple framework she calls now, next later. What will you do now, what will you do next and what will you do later? </p><p>We need to be mindful of the words we choose and how those words have changed meaning over time. For example, the word diva has changed. It used to be something we wanted to be but it’s become something that nobody wants to be. </p><p>Gigi says we need to become more familiar with how our own minds work and the states of mind that cause us suffering and the states that provide us freedom. Once we understand that, we will know what to do and not to do and how to handle stress and our thoughts. We also need to give ourselves time to stop thinking and it can help ideas come more freely. It helps you move forward joyfully. </p><p><strong>Bio:</strong></p><p>Gabrielle “Gigi” Thomas is the founder of Gabrielle Thomas Consulting, a practice management consultancy where she works with health and wellness businesses, brands and private practices as a strategic partner to develop sustainable and scalable systems. She’s also the co-founder of Under The Oaks, a Self Care Centre that is modernizing mental health care by focusing on holistic psychotherapy and diversity.

      <title>Ep. 85 - Tips to Become Successful on TikTok and Reach Your Ideal Audience with Noemi Aguilar-Horta</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Noemi who was a teen mom, college drop out but now she’s thriving with two 6 figure businesses from the comfort of her home. Her spouse recently retired and now they partnered in the businesses. She earns full time income working part time hours. When Noemi was little, she was in Girl Scouts and she hated selling and she didn’t want to be begging anyone for money. When TikTok came around, she knew she needed an online presence and it started out just for fun at the beginning of the pandemic and then she saw someone post about a day in the life of their business. She got the idea to do that about her own life in little clips. It forced her to get created on what she wanted to share. When her first business video exploded, it created an audience for her because people wanted to follow what she was saying. </p><p>Compared to the TikTok world, she’s small but she’s not worried for it to scale viral like some people are but she’s reaching her ideal clients and audience. First, you want to be teaching something that you’re an expert in or good at. People want to find out how-to because it is becoming a search engine. Those that are teaching something in under a minute or anything under 15 seconds with something that is super valuable are the videos going viral. The hashtags and trending video sounds are also going viral and help you get into the right audience. A lot of TikTok users are becoming affiliates and that’s why they have millions of followers. She has been able to niche down and the algorithm has been placing her with her exact audience of moms, and bilingual moms. </p><p>Noemi shows up as she is, she’s real and TikTok prefers authenticity and the people that do that are the ones that are more attracted to watch because they are relatable. People think they need to be dancing or goofy but she has had success with a boomerang she did. She has gone back on her camera roll and video clips and used those because people want to see what you are doing and it creates a trust factor. Her TikTok followers get funneled into her Facebook group which is where she does many of the offers she has and those people are ready to buy. That for entrepreneurs is very important. You must have the know, like and trust factor or you will never succeed. </p><p>Being consistent, persevering and being patient has kept Noemi’s business going over the years. Most ventures don’t go to the level you want when we are not consistent in business. That idea can be applied to anything. We have to have a reality check of what we have to do first to get to the big goals. Keep the consistency going and be patient because we want to be where other influencers are at but they all started at the same place and persevered to get to the place they are now. Sometimes there are skill sets that must be developed and if you can commit to the time it takes to learn it, you’ll be good to go. </p><p>Her favorite productivity hack is her calendar time blocking. It helps her keep track with what is going on with her family because they are her top priority. When she sticks to her time blocking, she is much more productive and intentional. She has a great team that helps her run her business so she doesn’t have to spend time doing it. She is able to focus on her clients and let the team focus on running the business. At the beginning of the month, she will block out what is happening with her family first and then she will fill in other work-related events. </p><p><strong>Bio:</strong></p><p>Noemi Aguilar-Horta, was a teen mom, college dropout, a mother of 2 super fun teenage boys, one beautiful-sassy daughter, and married to her high school sweetheart. Born in Mexico, migrated to California at the age of 1 going against all odds to not just survive but thrive in life.</p><p>She is the founder of MamáCounts, a community, and course that teaches the skill set of bookkeeping to other moms, and she also runs a six-figure bookkeeping & tax firm all from the comfort of her home.</p><p>She’s owned a successful virtual bookkeeping & tax firm for the past 8 years and has found a way to make a full-time income, working from home, with only part-time hours. She wants to teach other mamas that they can do it, too!</p><p> </p><p>Her passion is to help mamas stay home with their kids, while not giving up their career aspirations. She wants women to have the time flexibility and freedom to be the amazing mamas they are and the confidence to go after their dreams as well.</p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mamacountsbookkeeping/">https://www.instagram.com/mamacountsbookkeeping/</a></p><p><a href="https://mamacounts.com/mamacountscourse">https://mamacounts.com/mamacountscourse</a></p>

      <title>Ep. 84 -  Digital Courses for Successful Parenting with Cara Tyrrell</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Cara Tyrrell, the founder of Core4Parenting. She started out in early childhood education and pivoted to create courses to help set up parents for success in raising school, world-ready kids. She has a Master’s degree in Education and knew it could take her different directions, but she started out in the classroom. She saw year after year that kids came to the classroom less and less ready to learn in every area of the classroom. They lacked social skills, emotional skills and how to control that to respond appropriately. She left the classroom prior to the pandemic and had a nudge that knew this problem started at home and happens between birth and 5 years old. She started creating the courses and curriculum. At the time she had this idea, she went to work as a nanny. She was using strategies that became her courses and saw them work. When the pandemic hit, she saw this as her sign to take her courses to the world. </p><p>Cara says it’s vital to see the world through our kids’ perspective. The value of her courses is meant to give you tools to help your child meet the four readiness skill areas. It helps the parent connect with their child and observe who they are and what their struggles and triggers are. It is also learning how to recognize what type of words help your child stop, listen, process and problem solve with you. It helps parents collaborate with their child and develop a relationship with their child while the children still think their parents hung the moon. If we win the toddler years, we’ve already won the teenage years. </p><p>If your kids are out of the 0-5 years, you can still impact your kids by including them in the option to be part of the problem solving. When you as the adult recognize the environment is calm and collected, that is a good opportunity to open a conversation with them and invite them to be an idea maker, they will feel trusted and respected. Maybe their idea isn’t something you can approve but laying out what will happen and expecting them to respond is not the way to build the four connectors. </p><p>As a teacher, Cara knew how to organize her day and she had the framework figured out for the classroom. It was a different ballgame for an online business owner. She wishes she had known to broaden her thinking because she couldn’t walk into the online space and just teach. She had to learn the things she needed to reach the people so she could make an impact. </p><p>Cara makes a point to read The Alchemist once a year. She knows it’s fiction but it’s based on the premise that what we need or treasure is already here. She finds she can get bogged down in the weeds of doing and she goes back to the book and it grounds her. </p><p>Her favorite digital course is her American Sign Language course. It blends a lot of her loves and empowers kids with a voice before they have one. It encompasses 24 signs that we say the most to our kids in their first 2 years of life. It’s one new sign per day over the course of three weeks. </p><p>2023 is very exciting for Cara. On Jan 3, she will be launching her podcast called Raising Gen C and is about parenting post-pandemic. The trailer is up and ready to listen to. Also in early January, her live program for toddler moms will open again to help set up kids to be kindergarten ready. </p><p>Cara has a shirt that says, World Ready Kids will Change the World.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Cara Tyrrell, the founder of Core4Parenting. She started out in early childhood education and pivoted to create courses to help set up parents for success in raising school, world-ready kids. She has a Master’s degree in Education and knew it could take her different directions, but she started out in the classroom. She saw year after year that kids came to the classroom less and less ready to learn in every area of the classroom. They lacked social skills, emotional skills and how to control that to respond appropriately. She left the classroom prior to the pandemic and had a nudge that knew this problem started at home and happens between birth and 5 years old. She started creating the courses and curriculum. At the time she had this idea, she went to work as a nanny. She was using strategies that became her courses and saw them work. When the pandemic hit, she saw this as her sign to take her courses to the world. </p><p>Cara says it’s vital to see the world through our kids’ perspective. The value of her courses is meant to give you tools to help your child meet the four readiness skill areas. It helps the parent connect with their child and observe who they are and what their struggles and triggers are. It is also learning how to recognize what type of words help your child stop, listen, process and problem solve with you. It helps parents collaborate with their child and develop a relationship with their child while the children still think their parents hung the moon. If we win the toddler years, we’ve already won the teenage years. </p><p>If your kids are out of the 0-5 years, you can still impact your kids by including them in the option to be part of the problem solving. When you as the adult recognize the environment is calm and collected, that is a good opportunity to open a conversation with them and invite them to be an idea maker, they will feel trusted and respected. Maybe their idea isn’t something you can approve but laying out what will happen and expecting them to respond is not the way to build the four connectors. </p><p>As a teacher, Cara knew how to organize her day and she had the framework figured out for the classroom. It was a different ballgame for an online business owner. She wishes she had known to broaden her thinking because she couldn’t walk into the online space and just teach. She had to learn the things she needed to reach the people so she could make an impact. </p><p>Cara makes a point to read The Alchemist once a year. She knows it’s fiction but it’s based on the premise that what we need or treasure is already here. She finds she can get bogged down in the weeds of doing and she goes back to the book and it grounds her. </p><p>Her favorite digital course is her American Sign Language course. It blends a lot of her loves and empowers kids with a voice before they have one. It encompasses 24 signs that we say the most to our kids in their first 2 years of life. It’s one new sign per day over the course of three weeks. </p><p>2023 is very exciting for Cara. On Jan 3, she will be launching her podcast called Raising Gen C and is about parenting post-pandemic. The trailer is up and ready to listen to. Also in early January, her live program for toddler moms will open again to help set up kids to be kindergarten ready. </p><p>Cara has a shirt that says, World Ready Kids will Change the World. That is the legacy she wants to leave. Our world is suffering and we need adults that will add value to the world. Covid devastated our world in a lot of ways but there were people who saw an opportunity to serve the babies that grew up during Covid. </p><p><strong>Bio:</strong></p><p>Cara Tyrrell is the mother of two grown girls, an early childhood educator and the founder of Core4Parenting.

      <title>Ep. 83 - Pivoting, Iterating and Avoiding Burnout with Content Creation Specialist Jen Liddy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Jen Liddy, a former high school teacher who left the profession and became an entrepreneur. Today she is a Content Creation Specialist who helps people shift their exact right audience into their ideal clients. In the middle of her teaching career, she realized she was working really hard, was well educated, loved her job, and wasn’t making any money. She wondered what she was doing wrong. She left teaching in 2007 when her son was born and went on to become a college professor. During that time, phones were coming into the classroom and she felt less like an educator and more like someone policing a classroom. It wore her down and she realized she was always looking for an out. She experienced some resistance from her peers as she told them she was leaving education. She was told things like, “you’re just a teacher”, “what about your retirement.” She wants other teachers to know they are smart and creative and can do other things. You don’t have to have a business degree to start a business. She still teaches but the difference is the people she’s teaching want to be in the room and they care about learning. </p><p>Jen says it’s easy to burnout when you’re a business owner, especially when you’re a solopreneur and don’t have a team yet or feel like you don’t know what you’re doing. You’re in a period of gathering information and learning from others and imposter syndrome can lead to burnout. It’s important to be on the lookout for burnout and notice what you’re feeling. Jen’s business went from general accountability coaching to general business coaching and then she found out she liked content and pulling words out of people’s heads. She kept leaning into words being her thing and organized and sequential and she narrowed her niche. The more specific you can be with who you help, the easier it will be to be well known for something. She likes people to understand you can create a business that works for you based on your strengths and the way your brain works for you.</p><p>She created a membership called the content creator’s studio. It was an online creation classroom and she marketed it and she always had just over 30 people in it. She knew it was working and realized that people always tell you to go big and scale, and she realized she can’t help a huge number of people at once but can do more with a smaller group. Her challenge has been to trust her intuition. Trusting yourself that you’ll pivot and iterate is hard and scary and you have to take that leap. Surround yourself with people online or following people online that align with you. </p><p>Jen is a big podcast listener and she recommends getting as much information as you can from podcasts versus courses. Find the people who get you and if you do invest in a course, she wishes she would have invested in someone who would have put eyes on her business.

      <title>Ep. 82 - Short Form Content Success with David Bennett</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with David Bennett, the founder of The Metabolic Body Reset. He has mastered the short form video and has over 200k followers. David has not only grown his following but also a community to teach others how to grow their own short form business.</p><p>David’s recommendation is telling people what they want. He can give you the science and biology on the topics he teaches about but he knows people want to hear about their problem and how they can solve it on their own. Sometimes 30 seconds of redirection is what people need to hear to help motivate them. His top video that went viral was his first video and it was simply David holding 5 pounds of fat and it was 15-20 seconds long and he posted it under his business name. He had a half a million views when his son pointed out to him that his video had gone viral. He did another video at the beginning of this year for the 3 reasons you can’t lose weight that your doctor isn’t telling you about and it went viral as well. There’s two things, knowledge and consistency that you have to merge to get to where you want to go. To have those, you have to see results. </p><p>David thought he was going to have to do dancing, lip synching and other things to become popular but he found all he had to be was himself and giving short, little nuggets of information and that is easier than sitting down and writing a 30-40 minute presentation. David took a long form blog post and kept whittling down the original content to make a 1 minute short term video. No matter the field, we all have the content. </p><p>David started with a chiropractic business and he started moving to an online platform with his metabolic platforms and the success with his short term content has helped him move forward with his business faster without spending money on advertising. It helps him with the know, like and trust by getting in front of people. It has helped move people onto his email list and build his client list. If you have a lead magnet already such as a PDF, open it up and use it for 20 seconds and encourage people to enter their email to grab the free content. It doesn’t have to be complicated. You can be successful without the latest technology. </p><p>David wishes he would have had the knowledge to use the technology when he got started to help him get ahead of the game with where he is now. When he first started doing live videos, he used to be so concerned when the kids would walk in on the video but people loved those because you are relatable in those moments. You’re getting to know the personality of the person and not just know the person by their profession. </p><p>The biggest mistake he feels he made was not jumping into social media earlier. He was very hesitant to get on video and he didn’t want to post on all the platforms but realized that’s where all the people are. He tried direct mailings and other traditional forms of advertising but he learned to modify, adapt and overcome by incorporating social media. If you conceive it, then you believe it, and then you become it. </p><p>David’s favorite quote is, Perfection is never done, done is never perfect. You don’t have to have the best lighting, or the best whatever. You never know what is going to be a success but you have to be consistent and you can be successful. He says stop chasing the algorithm but start talking. </p><p>David wants his legacy to be helping whomever he can whether it’s metabolic coaching or short form content. Understanding your why in any field is very important and he wants to leave that legacy to his children and other people so they can reach their goals. </p><p>David recommends when working with content on social media is what he calls the 24 hour rule. There are going to be mean people. He lets those comments sit for 24 hours before he deals with it and most of the time, someone else will take care of that for you. </p><p>Bio:</p><p><br />David is the founder of The Metabolic Body Reset, LLC, the Empowered Living Institute, LLC, and TeachinVideo.com.  David has been working with clients since 2004 to help enable them to take back control of their health and their life.  David has a Law Degree, Chiropractic Degree and is certified in Functional Medicine.</p><p>David specializes in helping people overcome and reverse Metabolic Syndrome (weight gain, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood sugar & excess body fat), using the same methods and formula that he used to overcome his own weight and health issues and achieve Metabolic Freedom.  </p><p>David has recently expanded into helping practitioners step out of their comfort zone and get amazing results using short-form videos on social media, without ad spend (teachinvideo.com).  He is a member of the Leadership Council of the Perfect Practice Mentorship and enjoys helping guide & coach mentees on their journey to freedom in their business.  </p><p>David is inspired by his wife and two children, and in his spare time coaches both his daughter’s softball team and his son’s baseball team.<br /> </p><p>Links:</p><p>http://empoweredlivinginst.com   </p><p>metabolicbodyreset.com  </p><p>teachinvideo.com</p><p>@metabolic.body.reset </p><p>@empoweredlivinginst </p><p>@teachinvideo</p>

      <title>Ep. 81 - Landing Pages and Website Conversion Building with Bob Sparkins of Leadpages</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Bob Sparkins, the Sales Marketing Manager at Leadpages. Bob is a former high school history teacher and he teaches business owners around the world how to leverage digital marketing to impact more people with less effort. Bob’s primary role is the public face of Leadpages by speaking on stages and panels in person and virtually. He supports people who want to share Leadpages with their audiences and the education piece is for their affiliates and future customers so they understand how to build a business online. </p><p>Bob became a high school teacher right out of college and it became a 10 year career. He loved working with teenagers. Testing became more prominent over learning and social studies was never a priority over the curriculum fields. The itch of making more money and impacting the world in a different way developed during this time and eventually became a profitable business teaching others marketing. He got more involved with affiliate marketing as part of his coaching and he did so well teaching others how to use Leadpages, the CEO reached out to him and asked him to officially join the company 8 years ago.</p><p>Bob’s biggest challenge in his career was knowing the balance between taking a big risk and playing it safe. For a lot of entrepreneurs, the ability to take a risk is a real challenge especially if you are going from month to month and hoping to be in the black and not in a deficit. He didn’t have big savings leaving teaching and he felt like he was on a hamster wheel trying to generate revenue and it was difficult to have the patience and have a proper launch or repurpose it for each of his products. For the first 4-5 years of his business, he never had the chance to optimize any one thing because of this. If he could do it again, he would have had the patience to optimize one product more prominently and move it forward at a deeper level versus spreading himself too thin. </p><p>Leadpages was created 10 years ago in a loft in MN to solve a problem of helping someone put out marketing pages rapidly without a big team, design skills or the ability to code. If you struggled with WordPress and needed to get a page out there quickly to showcase your business in 10 minutes, you could free up time to help serve people that will join your audience as a customer. You can sell your services or products as well as showcase a LinkedIn profile to generate more leads to buy your main offer. </p><p>Bob fostered building a community and his best advice is to make sure you see yourself as a brand, even if you’re an individual. You may not want to be an influencer but you are that person to the people following you. You are the person they look up to and don’t let your ego shout on the rooftops but you should be proud of the people that look up to you and you need to be visible. Let people recognize you as a face and not a logo of a company or an avatar. They will respond to you as a human being and be willing to be that human being. </p><p>Asking for help was one resource that helped Bob out the most. He knew he couldn’t go to the next level without help so he hired a business coach and was part of a mastermind group. He met his wife at one of these events. He recommends finding someone who can lead a group of people and become a cohort. What he loved about the group he was in, you’re not the only person getting the advice and you can cheer each other on and then be coached by your peer group. He prefers a group with a mentor vs a 1:1 mentor. Another resource was continuing to want to learn. Using a mind mapping software that helps you visualize where you want to go in your business is something else Bob recommends. You won’t spend all your time writing down on a document all the nitty gritty details and it will let you dump your ideas quickly so you can free up some of your brain space. </p><p>Bob’s favorite quote is “that which we persist in doing becomes easier not because the nature of the thing changes, but our power to do improves.” Ralph Waldo Emerson </p><p>Bob hopes to leave a legacy of people having an easier time in whatever it is he has helped them understand. </p><p>Bob is excited about an upcoming training camp. He will be teaching people how to come up with your offer, how to craft the words for the offer, how to turn it into a great landing page and optimize it for sales. </p><p><strong>Bio:</strong></p><p>As the Sales Marketing Manager at Leadpages, Bob Sparkins champions the customers of the top landing page and website building conversion platform and the audiences they serve. A former high school history teacher and academic team coach, Bob has taught business owners around the world how to leverage digital marketing to impact more people with less effort since 2006.

      <title>Ep. 80 - Copywriting and Content Creation with Crunch Ranjani, Digital Nomad</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Crunch Ranjani, a digital nomad since 2018. She is a conversion copywriter and content creator. She is a firm believer we need more diversity, equity and inclusion in our communities. Today, she is located in Singapore where she is originally from. She has a residence in Mexico and says it’s a great place for digital nomads. </p><p>One thing Crunch wishes she would have known how much work it is. People romanticize remote work and realistically, you’re not working on the beach with your laptop. There is also the challenge of the inner work to overcome your mindset that wants you to stay in a comfort zone. That is a self limiting belief and may not be true. Working through those ideas can be challenging to quiet those inner demons. It helps to have a support group or community to support you and bounce ideas off. It took her years before she realized she needed that kind of support to help her through those tough times. </p><p>Crunch fell into entrepreneurship and freelancing because she was maintaining a travel blog and a friend told her that she was a good writer and asked her to write show notes for a podcast. From there, Crunch listened to podcasts as part of her job and she started thinking about how she was freelancing and what happened if she took the next step and found more clients. She took the opportunities as they came her way. She heard in a podcast that someone needed a writer so she reached out and then more clients came her way. </p><p>The best resources and mentors that have helped Crunch was the BizChicks Podcast host. It was through her inspiration that Crunch was inspired to start her own business and be the boss of her own business. It takes courage to say that. Heart Centered Entrepreneur Anna Rapp- was her business coach and she helped her build a solid foundation for her business that could support the lifestyle that she wants. Your biggest resource is your network. If you can tap into your network, you can ask who is most likely to send you the right kind of support you need.</p><p>Crunch’s biggest tip is to show up and be consistent about showing up. That is how you build those relationships on social media or your website. It’s important to do it even when you don’t feel like it. Those relationships will pay dividends for years to come when you nurture them. </p><p>Crunch’s biggest challenge has been finding balance in all of this. It takes self-discipline to be an entrepreneur because you don’t have a boss keeping you on task. She has also encountered swinging to the other end of the spectrum and not knowing how to have work become all consuming. Having boundaries help you maintain peace of mind and work better in the time you’ve dedicated to working. </p><p>Crunch’s take on impact and legacy is feeling content if she makes the difference to one person. She loves being able to share to people in other communities that there are different opportunities and lifestyles that are possible like her working remotely. Her legacy is that she is sharing her story. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Bio:</p><p>Crunch is a conversion copywriter + content creator for change-makers and entrepreneurs who want to make an impact with the money and influence they have in their business. A firm believer that we need more diversity, equity, and inclusion in our communities, Crunch helps like-minded business owners harness the power of words to get their message heard by more than just their 213 Instagram followers and create a bigger impact in the world.</p><p>Crunch’s superpower is writing snazzy blogs and articles, and turning the monologues you’ve been doing on Facebook/Instagram Live into a summoning spell that magically conjures up your ideal clients + appeases the Google gods. When not fingers-deep in writing articles for her brilliant clients, Crunch can be found traipsing the world in search of new places, people, and palate-pleasers.</p><p>Fun facts: <br />I'm a digital nomad and have been living nomadically since 2013, and working remotely as my only source of income since 2018.

      <title>Ep. 79 - Master Marketing and Brand Voice with Jackie Sunga</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen as Brooke speaks with Jackie Sunga, a certified master marketer. She has grown her own business to surpass six figures in one year. Jackie is a former educator and in 2017 a music colleague was following her on Instagram and told her she was good at social media and asked her to manage her nonprofit social media. Jackie knew she wanted experience in the digital marketing world and saw this opportunity as her way in. Jackie’s sister saw this and told her email marketing is more effective than social media marketing. This motivated Jackie to research and learn copywriting on her own. She realized how important a skill this was. Fast forward a few years and her husband graduated from medical school in 2020 and she saw this as her opportunity to work full time for herself. That summer she used Instagram to create content and a therapist found one of her reels and reached out to Jackie to help write emails for her course. She had a ROI 7x over. This confirmed to Jackie that she found her niche and pursued this full time. Jackie’s first paid job resulted in a lot of referrals from her first client. Jackie knew she didn’t want to niche so far down to only therapists so she took a look at who her ideal clients would be and removed services she didn’t want to offer anymore and focus on what her clients needed most. </p><p>Jackie wished she had known branding just about her visuals but as a combination of your verbal brand strategy, your message and how that relates to your overall vision as it relates to your business and your core values that drive every decision that you make.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listen as Brooke speaks with Jackie Sunga, a certified master marketer. She has grown her own business to surpass six figures in one year. Jackie is a former educator and in 2017 a music colleague was following her on Instagram and told her she was good at social media and asked her to manage her nonprofit social media. Jackie knew she wanted experience in the digital marketing world and saw this opportunity as her way in. Jackie’s sister saw this and told her email marketing is more effective than social media marketing. This motivated Jackie to research and learn copywriting on her own. She realized how important a skill this was. Fast forward a few years and her husband graduated from medical school in 2020 and she saw this as her opportunity to work full time for herself. That summer she used Instagram to create content and a therapist found one of her reels and reached out to Jackie to help write emails for her course. She had a ROI 7x over. This confirmed to Jackie that she found her niche and pursued this full time. Jackie’s first paid job resulted in a lot of referrals from her first client. Jackie knew she didn’t want to niche so far down to only therapists so she took a look at who her ideal clients would be and removed services she didn’t want to offer anymore and focus on what her clients needed most. </p><p>Jackie wished she had known branding just about her visuals but as a combination of your verbal brand strategy, your message and how that relates to your overall vision as it relates to your business and your core values that drive every decision that you make. The further she gets into brand messaging and studying big brands and what makes them popular, is to be so in tune with what your values are and from there your visual brand strategy can follow. </p><p>As entrepreneurs get started with their own programs, Jackie suggests instructional design/curriculum design is really important.

      <title>Ep. 78 - Building a Business You Love with Hani Anis</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Hani Anis, founder of Anis Collections and the marketing company Kahani Digital. She started her first company in 2017 while she was still in college at the age of 21. She was doing marketing in corporate investment banking and decided to take 6 months off and work on Anis Collections. Fast forward to 2020, when she got a VC job in corporate marketing. She was approached during Covid by her friends in the freelancing spaces. In Sept/Oct of 2020, the world started working again and she had a corporate job, a company and freelance projects. She knew she didn’t have that much time on her hands. She sat down during the holidays with her family and expressed her struggles and she decided she liked the freelance, small business route. She decided to resign from her corporate job. With Kahani, she had all the work coming in but no name, no branding, no employees. She knew this wasn’t what she planned for. It goes to show that starting a business can go an untraditional route. She was able to get traction by word of mouth. </p><p>With her digital marketing company, she didn’t have a business plan like with her fashion company. Her promise to herself was to say yes to opportunity and that will lead to momentum. When hiring, you are investing in your company but in the beginning, that person adds a load initially until they start to take the load off. Her first hire came from a friend who knew someone who needed a job in the industry and as she moved forward, she used interns and contract people found by posting in her networking group. She found that people can be trained in marketing and it wasn’t technical. She wanted to find someone who was a good fit to the team and the client. Relationship building is important and without that, it can hurt you.</p><p>The major hurdle she had was internal struggle to maintain clients so it didn’t affect her employees. Her retention rate has been great but it’s something she still thinks about. Work life balance has also been a struggle. She has very clear boundaries for her employees about not working outside of their working hours and balancing their own lives with vacation time. As a founder, she felt like she could never take a break. That didn’t work well. She was working 7 days a week and she realized that she had a team that she could let go things to her team. She gradually got to the point of taking weekends off and making time for vacations. </p><p>Hani encourages other people to take on entrepreneurship where they love what they do on a daily basis. Know you can have fun with it and not have an insane amount of pressure to make it a multi-million dollar thing. Don’t scale it so much that quality is affected. It’s ok if it’s just your passion. Looking back she wishes she would have looked at the moment and savored it a little more. Now she’s at a point where she appreciates the small wins more because those moments are important. When you struggle with impostor syndrome, fake it til you make it. When she started out, she had to fake confidence in public until she built her confidence. </p><p>She hopes to wrap up 2022 but slowing down more personally and giving her team more time to focus on the creative aspects of the business. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>I started out as most South Asian kids do -  aspiring to be a doctor. I did all the AP classes, internships, research, and hospital volunteer work but then eventually got to Organic Chemistry in college and decided that medicine was definitely not for me. Distraught, I came home to my dad and said, " Now what do I do"? We decided that business - particularly finance - would be a good fit and turned out, it was. Fast forward to my senior year of college and with the help of my friends and family, I founded Anis Collections, a luxury South Asian bridal boutique that helps brides, grooms, bridesmaids, and groomsmen find their dream outfit for their big day. This business is truly my passion project and my favorite part is doing fittings with clients and watching them react to my custom creation. </p><p>I still went off and got a full-time position in Investment Banking, where most recently I was working on digital strategy for a Venture Capital firm. Through the pandemic, I was also freelancing and working for Natalie Barbu's agency. I learned that I loved working on small businesses through my agency work and found that being a South Asian founder myself, there was no agency that really catered to that niche. The more I worked freelancing for South Asian-owned and founded brands, the more I realized that this is the market I wanted to help. In February 2021, I quit my full-time position in VC and went freelance full time. Through word of mouth and my network, I was able to book more clients and the business doubled in less than a month of me leaving my job. I then worked to establish a name, branding and hiring out my team. </p><p>Kahani means to tell a story and that is exactly what we believe in doing for your brand through social media and digital marketing.</p><p>Links:</p><p>Instagram: </p><p><a href="https://instagram.com/kahani.digital?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">https://instagram.com/kahani.digital?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=</a></p><p>Kahani Digital: <a href="https://www.kahanidigital.com/about-kahani">https://www.kahanidigital.com/about-kahani</a></p><p>Join Allobee:</p><p><a href="https://www.allobee.com/plus">https://www.allobee.com/plus</a></p>

      <title>Ep. 77 - Create the Clarity to Build a Successful Business and Achieve Your Dreams</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Cassandra Rosa, a business coaching and award winning speaker and author of <i>Now What: Create the Clarity to Achieve Your Dreams</i>. She also hosts the podcast called Clarity Conversations. Cassandra knew she wanted to make a difference in the world from a very young age. She pursued a degree in psychology and in the middle of it, she did volunteer work in Africa and fell in love with it. When she returned from her trip, she felt like she needed to do things the mainstream way but kept having feelings of doing more. After about 6 months, she decided to follow her dreams and left corporate and worked on personal development. She felt like this is the mentorship she wanted to do in her life. She launched her business in 2019 and in 6 months, she left her full time job and started traveling to mentor people. </p><p>Her challenge early on was going through Imposter Syndrome. She wondered why someone would want to work with her when they could work with someone big. It held her back initially but she realized you needed to be a few steps ahead of people to create that authenticity to help people. </p><p>Her biggest challenge was figuring out what she was going to offer. When she initially launched, she acknowledged that she was creating her offering for a prior version of herself and she began to attract so many people and it allowed her to have a deeper connection and understanding what her clients were going through. </p><p>The traditional ways of making money burned Cassandra out in the first year. She learned that it’s important to balance your energies and be in the creative flow state as well as taking the action state. The ambition piece - destination syndrome she calls it, is something she redefined during the pandemic because she can anchor those feelings into each step of the journey and not wait to achieve that. It’s been more fun instead of reaching so far and feeling disconnected in the present moment. </p><p>Cassandra makes a goal to step into a certain state, such as when you want more joy and bliss and freedom, now, what can you do to feel that? The clarity will come when you can get out of your own head. Mentorship a good resource and is important to utilize to get support and using tools like Instagram to follow people who can teach you. </p><p>Her biggest failure was having launches and not hitting numbers she wanted but it helped point her in the right direction and redefining those instances into learning opportunities that can point you into the right direction. Life is a journey, not a destination is her favorite quote because it looks into the gratitude and the presence of the stepping stones and milestones we achieve along the way and basking in that. </p><p>Cassandra Rosa is an intuitive certified life and business coach. She helps female entrepreneurs create fulfilling businesses with clarity and confidence. In her coaching practice, she loves to teach her clients how to clarify their path to their purpose, connect to their inner confidence and create the fulfilling business they daydream about. <br /><br />Cassandra Rosa is a healer, Reiki master, an award-winning speaker, and award-winning author of the book <i>Now What: Create the Clarity to Achieve Your Dreams</i>. Cassandra also is a podcast host of personal development and business podcast called Clarity Conversations. It’s available on all major podcast platforms!<br /><br />I work with spiritual entrepreneurs </p><p>who are ready to…<br /> </p><p>clarify their path to purpose  - Gain clarity of what a fulfilling business looks like for you so you have not only a refined vision and mission but the tools to manifest it!</p><p>embody confidence -Form unshakeable confidence so that you achieve your goals without having the fear and self-doubt run the show.</p><p>create an impactful business  - Create a business you daydream about simply and authentically so that you no longer feel stuck with how to start.<br /> </p><p>Links:</p><p><a href="http://www.cassandrarosa.com">http://www.cassandrarosa.com</a></p><p>Instagram: Cassandrarosaa</p><p>Purchase <a href="https://amzn.to/3TNHife">Now What: Create the Clarity to Achieve Your Dreams</a></p><p>Join Allobee:</p><p>https://www.allobee.com/plus</p>

When she initially launched, she acknowledged that she was creating her offering for a prior version of herself and she began to attract so many people and it allowed her to have a deeper connection and understanding what her clients were going through. </p><p>The traditional ways of making money burned Cassandra out in the first year. She learned that it’s important to balance your energies and be in the creative flow state as well as taking the action state. The ambition piece - destination syndrome she calls it, is something she redefined during the pandemic because she can anchor those feelings into each step of the journey and not wait to achieve that. It’s been more fun instead of reaching so far and feeling disconnected in the present moment. </p><p>Cassandra makes a goal to step into a certain state, such as when you want more joy and bliss and freedom, now, what can you do to feel that? The clarity will come when you can get out of your own head. Mentorship a good resource and is important to utilize to get support and using tools like Instagram to follow people who can teach you. </p><p>Her biggest failure was having launches and not hitting numbers she wanted but it helped point her in the right direction and redefining those instances into learning opportunities that can point you into the right direction. Life is a journey, not a destination is her favorite quote because it looks into the gratitude and the presence of the stepping stones and milestones we achieve along the way and basking in that. </p><p>Cassandra Rosa is an intuitive certified life and business coach. She helps female entrepreneurs create fulfilling businesses with clarity and confidence.

      <title>Ep. 76 - Confidence In Building Your Business with Julie DeLucca Collins</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, Brooke speaks with Founder and CEO of Go Confidently Services, Julie DeLucca-Collins. They dive into Julie’s background. Julie comes from a background of teachers. She went into early childhood education herself and she loved it. Like many educators, she burned out. She had a part time job like a lot of educators do. She was a youth minister at her church and they offered her a full time position. It gave her good on the job training to create events and train volunteers. She was then recruited by Columbia University for grant writing. Throughout her career Julie learned that relationship building is key to being successful.Now she works with women and find out how she can support them to help them build the freedom and lifestyle they want.  </p><p>Julie’s favorite saying is “action gives you traction.” Action gives you momentum to give you traction to get you where you’re going. One thing Julie wishes she knew when she started out was realizing we aren’t perfect. We have to give ourselves permission to fail. It’s ok to say I don’t know how to do that and figure it out or learn. As business owners we try to do it all when we should be outsourcing because it is costing us time which is a larger commodity than money. On a weekly basis, one thing Julie does is go through her planner and categorize her tasks and associate a value to them. There are things only she can do whereas creating graphics for her social media is a responsibility for someone else. It’s not that there is less importance in a task but as CEO she is required to do the things that are income producing. Networking can grow her reach and get new clients. If it isn’t on your calendar, don’t be distracted because the little things add up. For every time you’re distracted, it takes 17 minutes to get back on task. We need to ask for help when we think we can do it all. </p><p>One of Julie’s biggest challenges in the beginning was getting clients. When we have a problem getting clients, most people don’t have a clear strategy which doesn’t create a consistent message. Throughout her process, Julie realized she needed to create a strategy and run her business like a business, that she needed to be proactive and not reactive. Don’t be afraid to look at your numbers. Talk to the people you’re servicing and make sure you’re using the language they use. It needs to be spoken in a way that services them. </p><p>The best resources that helped Julie along the way was knowing she needed to hire an assistant. It is an investment she knew she needed to make in order to clear her plate in order to do the work she needed to do. The first purchase she made was to invest in a program that allowed her to invoice and track her money. She calls this Finance Fridays. Along with that, she uses the book, Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. You need to pay yourself first, allocate for taxes, and keep your expenses in check. Find automations, do, delegate, delete and automate. </p><p>Julie wrote the book Confident You to record the stories of people who impacted her and mentored her to help her who she has become today. These people are confident in what they did, mission-drive and habits that allowed them to show up consistently. She wanted to create something the reader can identify with and how to overcome challenges and implement in your own life. When you have simple habits that can ground you, no matter what happens, you can refocus and continue on in the life you desire. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Julie DeLucca-Collins is the Founder and CEO of Go Confidently Services and the host of the popular Casa DeConfidence Podcast®. As a Business and Life Strategist Coach, Julie helps women business owners launch or grow their businesses, get clients, be productive, and achieve their dreams.

      <title>Ep. 75 - Tips to Avoid Burnout While Working From Home with Allobee CEO Brooke Markevicius</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen is as Allobee CEO, <a href="mailto:brooke@allobee.com">Brooke Markevicius</a>, shares an update on Allobee and her journey in entrepreneurship and the life of a founder. As a female business owner, she has found it is really hard to go far without self reflection and an analysis of not just how the business is doing but how you are doing as a business owner. It’s important to assess if you still love what you are doing. Brooke spent time over the summer reflecting on this and determined she loved the company, the team, what they are building, but did she love what she was doing on a day-to-day basis. She felt she was dealing with burnout. She knew she needed to grow the business but felt the pressure to grow and scale the business and move faster. It was unsustainable and questionable if that is how she should do business. When we start moving fast, are we losing the quality and relationships that we should be building? She believes in gut-checking and asking these questions. </p><p>Brooke shares the three things that helped her overcome being on the verge of breaking down. Society isn’t built for a woman to be a business owner especially as a mom and caregiver. Brooke has friends that are founders and business owners that she could share in this and not feel so alone. Brooke has always been ambitious and wanted to meet her goals but being so goal oriented can mess with your mind and be very exhausting. </p><p>Brooke and her family spent the summer at their farmhouse in North Carolina. It was a blessing to have a place to get away and be together. They had no childcare and both she and her husband work full time. Brooke was scared how they were going to pull it off but her husband kept telling her they could do it. Next she shares 3 tips to avoid burnout: </p><p>Tip 1: Get Away - Get out of your current physical location where your stress has been. Our bodies are aware of where we are at and it can be refreshing and hopeful to get away. It got Brooke out of her normal routine. She was forced to not work all the time because she didn’t have a choice without childcare. She also didn’t want to work all the time in this new place where it was beautiful and she wanted to enjoy time. It gave her a new perspective of what she had been missing. </p><p>Tip 2: Look at the impact you are making as a business owner - Zoom out and look at the impact you are building. Brooke researched how much Allobee had paid women for their work. Allobee paid out almost $1 million dollars to women since 2020. Her goal was to get women paid for flexible work. Brooke realized she had reached that goal. Knowing that helped her destress a little. She knew she was reaching the Allobee’s mission. She also looked at how many businesses Allobee had impacted and helped support people. Over 70,000 hours were given back to business owners so they could run their business and enjoy their families and life. </p><p>Brooke blocked her time starting in September so she has time for herself. It hit her that she had no time for herself and no flexibility in her own life which was counterintuitive to what she was trying to build for others. Is the impact you are making in align to what your goals are? </p><p>Tip 3: Find something that you love outside of work - Brooke’s good friend <a href="mailto:eve@everodsky.com">Eve Rodsky</a>, is the author of Free Play and Unicorn Space. Brooke didn’t put into play what Eve taught in Unicorn Space. She realized there was no Brooke outside of Allobee or mom life. She reread the book and sat on it for a while. She’s been thinking a lot about what this looks like for her but she encourages everyone to read the book and to make time for things you want to do and are not things that everyone wants you to do. She realized that trying to rediscover what that is for her is part of why she was experiencing burnout. </p><p>Find something that makes you joyful and fills you up. Women are leaving ambitious “careers” for things they love for things that bring them joy and happiness. Find the right balance of ambition and joy. Brooke is still on that journey but it’s something we all need to find. </p><p>Stay tuned for a great season of Allobee Radio! </p><p><a href="http://www.allobee.com/plus">www.allobee.com/plus</a></p><p>Code: ALLOBEERADIO</p><p><a href="https://www.elle.com/life-love/opinions-features/a40835443/women-rejecting-traditional-ambition-2022/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">https://www.elle.com/life-love/opinions-features/a40835443/women-rejecting-traditional-ambition-2022/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email</a></p><p> </p>

      <itunes:summary>Listen is as Allobee CEO, Brooke Markevicius, shares an update on Allobee and her journey in entrepreneurship and the life of a founder. As a female business owner, she has found it is really hard to go far without self reflection and an analysis of not just how the business is doing but how you are doing as a business owner. It’s important to assess if you still love what you are doing. Brooke spent time over the summer reflecting on this and determined she loved the company, the team, what they are building, but did she love what she was doing on a day-to-day basis. She felt she was dealing with burnout. She knew she needed to grow the business but felt the pressure to grow and scale the business and move faster. It was unsustainable and questionable if that is how she should do business. When we start moving fast, are we losing the quality and relationships that we should be building? She believes in gut-checking and asking these questions. </itunes:summary>

      <title>Ep. 74 - A Conversation with Author Hitha Palepu</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen in as Brooke speaks with her friend and author Hitha Palepu about her new book, “We’re Speaking: The Life Lessons of Kamala Harris: How to Use Your Voice, Be Assertive, and Own Your Own Story.” Hitha talks about how writing this book was a team effort with her husband and family helping and supporting her through this process. Through all of her research, the one thing Hitha really appreciated was learning more about Kamala’s mom. She was one of the few Indians that were allowed to emigrate to the United States. Her advancement of research and moving up in her field reminded her of her own father and his experiences with speaking with an accent, looking different, and hitting the ceiling quicker in her career. Hitha could see how Shyamala mothered and it mirrored how her own mother mothered her growing up. Everything had an element of family and that is something women are able to relate to more. </p><p>As she was writing the book, Hitha started her daily routine the same way Kamala started hers. She would have black tea and honey with raisin bran and worked out every morning. She returns to those rituals and daily practices whenever she needs to feel grounded. </p><p>Hitha and Brooke talk about some of the false narratives from her own life that Kamala’s experiences helped with. Hitha talked about pitching to investors and the amount of time you have to prepare to be told no with no context or reason. Hearing I eat no for breakfast helped her understand each no got her closer to yes. Eat no for breakfast is her love letter to female founders and business owners who deal with this all the time. Stay focused on the vision, mission and impact you know you’ll make. People are encumbered by what has always been that they cannot see what could be. It’s a Kamala-ism that she always returns to. </p><p>Brooke asks what is one thing that has happened because of the book. Hitha has heard from unexpected readers including a COO who was impacted on how to lead differently. It meant the world to her that this book isn’t just helping readers be their best selves but that people of power are learning how to lead differently. </p><p>What is next for Hitha? She wants to explore how to support startups and will also be doing more speaking events. Her focus this summer is long walks, resting and writing a children’s book series. </p><p>Giveaway:</p><p>We are giving away 3 books.  To enter:</p><ol><li>Follow @hireallobee on IG</li><li>Follow @hireallobee on Twitter</li><li>Subscribe to the podcast</li><li>Leave a review</li></ol><p>We will pick 3 winners May 15th!”</p><p>Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hitha-palepu/were-speaking/9780316283052/" target="_blank">https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hitha-palepu/were-speaking/9780316283052/</a></p><p><a href="https://instagram.com/hithapalepu?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/hithapalepu?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=</a></p>

      <title>Ep. 73 - Overcoming Challenges with Tiffany Griffin</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tiffany is a psychologist by training and moved to North Carolina to start her professional journey in academia. She soon realized that this was not a good fit for her and she then moved to Washington D.C. where she worked as a federal policy maker in health policy. During those 7 years, she enjoyed her time in the government and also became a mom. She decided she wanted to do something entrepreneurial and moved back to North Carolina. She started making candles 5 years before launching her company with her husband as a hobby. She thought Bright Black would be a side job with research being her primary job but Bright Black took off.</p><p>Tiffany wrote her business plan in the midst of a government shutdown while she was still working in DC at the end of 2018. She pulled together 5 years of thoughts and ideas. Their goal is to use scent to tell a story and it was a good way to have tough conversations about stereotypes and misunderstandings of black cultures. They wanted to break the connection between black and negativity by having a beautiful product that also allows people to have a good experience with dialogue and researching on their own to then share with their own communities. </p><p>The work Tiffany did in the executive branch was on resilience. This experience helped her with the rapid growth in the midst of the pandemic and the challenges the pandemic placed on the company with supply chain shortages. They source everything from the US but still experience challenges. They still experienced growth because people were home and burning candles. They didn’t have jars or other materials available to keep up with growth. Despite these challenges, most people were very kind and understanding of their challenges. They communicated a lot and eventually made it through. </p><p>Her biggest hurdle has been the supply chain issue of 2020. It was important to Tiffany to keep the same packaging for her product and she ended up making her own. Hard work hasn’t been enough. From the outside people think she’s crushing it but Tiffany has had moments where it hasn’t felt that way. Those moments have been hard for her.</p><p>Her focus this year is to get her production space set up and figuring out how to engage with the public again. She knows this interaction is important to her brand. They are negotiating a contract with a large retailer which would give them a lot of momentum in addition to new limited edition scents coming out. </p>

      <title>Ep. 72 - A Conversation with Pamela Pekerman</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Pamela has been a serial entrepreneur for over 18 years. Her current venture is Hustle LIke a Mom. She is there to bridge the gap between mom life and entrepreneur life between pickup and drop off. She came to create this venture out of frustration. She was and still is a journalist on tv and in print. She knew she wasn’t the only one in her 30s where something wasn’t jiving. She knew there had to be a better solution so this was solving the problem for herself which helped solve it for other women in the community. </p><p>Pam’s best advice for building community is not being afraid of starting literally in your backyard. Don’t be afraid to start with your first five to ten friends if they are the right people for your community. There is nothing wrong with being narrow and exclusive. You don’t need to appeal to everybody. Not everything you have to offer will be for everyone and that’s ok. Pam said whenever she has gone too wide with her community, those are the times she has failed. There are good lessons to be learned from failing. You can be more successful with the right 50-500 people than you can with 500,000. </p><p>Pam gives strategies for getting started. The first step before marketing is to figure out your dream customer and make her real. Where does she live, does she have kids, etc. The one piece that people miss is not making her real beyond the purposes of your company. If you are a jewelry customer, make her real beyond how she styles herself. Give her a full existence such as does she have a family, what career is she in? When you’ve made her that real, you’ll pinpoint where she will spend, what Facebook groups she would be in. Then you can move on to the next step, which is what are you selling? Pam was hesitant with hiring out VA services but spending money on the right person, coach or summit saves money in the long run. </p><p>Once you’ve decoded your community and who your customer is, the next step is figuring out what you are selling. Couple that with whom you want to attract. Pam likes to keep it as simple as possible. Come up with your two sentences, your messaging, and it should be something that anyone can remember and tell someone else. It shouldn’t be catchy but messaging that resonates. It takes 7 times for someone to remember what you are talking about.</p><p>If you would like to learn more about Pam and her business, Hustle Like a Mom, visit the links below. </p><p>Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.hustlelikeamom.com/group-coaching">https://www.hustlelikeamom.com/group-coaching</a></p><p><a href="https://www.hustlelikeamom.com/quarterly-planning-party">https://www.hustlelikeamom.com/quarterly-planning-party</a></p><p>Freebie </p><p><a href="http://hustlelikeamom.com/plan-pro">http://hustlelikeamom.com/plan-pro</a></p>

      <title>Ep. 71 - Building Your Community: A Conversation with Justin Minott</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, Brooke talks with Justin Minott. Justin is an entrepreneur who got his start creating a non-profit that allowed him to accomplish his goal of traveling the world. During a trip to Africa, the idea to source coffee was born and he took that idea back to Canada and started a coffee shop there. He then moved to North Carolina and expanded his idea of a coffee shop to fulfill the local need of opening one that is family friendly. </p><p>Justin talks about his biggest challenges: sustainability and scalability of your venture. When impact is at the center, it makes you approach your business differently. His coffee shop in Canada used this idea as they used 25% of profits to reinvest in communities in Africa. It also increased the quality of the coffee because helping the community clean their water was also cleaning the coffee which improved the quality of the coffee. They would reverse engineer their business plan based on the impact, not the other way around. Getting and running as an efficient business so you can scale while having the impact that you want is challenging. That is why he is an impact business coach now. </p><p>As an impact business coach, Justin gets a great amount of joy by seeing people win. The driver for him was thinking often about his legacy and how it aligns with how he wants to be remembered. When he reflects on running businesses, the impact there was the community he could create, but when he got a glimpse of investing in the lives of other impact entrepreneurs, the impact was exponential by his sharing what he has learned with others. A good business coach isn’t a cheerleader, but someone who collapses the timeline and gives the entrepreneur the straightest path to where they want to go. The customer/client has to be the hero of the story and he helps entrepreneurs achieve that. </p><p>Justin is also really good at building community. His best advice for fostering community is bringing people together towards a larger vision that isn’t  just hanging out, but adding value to people’s lives. It is having a compelling and clear vision for what you want to accomplish and building that community. It’s important to figure out why that matters to you. As entrepreneurs come together, what can we share so we can navigate this landscape in the best way possible? This journey is collaborative and that is the power of community. Justin says barriers to community is the facade of having it all together and that you have to present in a certain way and can’t look like you don’t know something. The lack of vulnerability and transparency in the entrepreneurial space is one of the biggest barriers to a connected community. Vulnerability and authenticity is power. Inauthenticity is exhausting and you can fit in but you will never belong. When you are you, you’ll find your people. </p><p>Justin plans on creating momentum throughout the rest of the year with consistency and focus. He is going super practical this year, one foot in front of the other. Perfect practice makes perfect. He enjoys going fast but to go fast is to go slow.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, Brooke talks with Justin Minott. Justin is an entrepreneur who got his start creating a non-profit that allowed him to accomplish his goal of traveling the world. During a trip to Africa, the idea to source coffee was born and he took that idea back to Canada and started a coffee shop there. He then moved to North Carolina and expanded his idea of a coffee shop to fulfill the local need of opening one that is family friendly. </p><p>Justin talks about his biggest challenges: sustainability and scalability of your venture. When impact is at the center, it makes you approach your business differently. His coffee shop in Canada used this idea as they used 25% of profits to reinvest in communities in Africa. It also increased the quality of the coffee because helping the community clean their water was also cleaning the coffee which improved the quality of the coffee. They would reverse engineer their business plan based on the impact, not the other way around. Getting and running as an efficient business so you can scale while having the impact that you want is challenging. That is why he is an impact business coach now. </p><p>As an impact business coach, Justin gets a great amount of joy by seeing people win. The driver for him was thinking often about his legacy and how it aligns with how he wants to be remembered. When he reflects on running businesses, the impact there was the community he could create, but when he got a glimpse of investing in the lives of other impact entrepreneurs, the impact was exponential by his sharing what he has learned with others. A good business coach isn’t a cheerleader, but someone who collapses the timeline and gives the entrepreneur the straightest path to where they want to go. The customer/client has to be the hero of the story and he helps entrepreneurs achieve that. </p><p>Justin is also really good at building community. His best advice for fostering community is bringing people together towards a larger vision that isn’t  just hanging out, but adding value to people’s lives. It is having a compelling and clear vision for what you want to accomplish and building that community. It’s important to figure out why that matters to you. As entrepreneurs come together, what can we share so we can navigate this landscape in the best way possible? This journey is collaborative and that is the power of community. Justin says barriers to community is the facade of having it all together and that you have to present in a certain way and can’t look like you don’t know something. The lack of vulnerability and transparency in the entrepreneurial space is one of the biggest barriers to a connected community. Vulnerability and authenticity is power. Inauthenticity is exhausting and you can fit in but you will never belong. When you are you, you’ll find your people. </p><p>Justin plans on creating momentum throughout the rest of the year with consistency and focus. He is going super practical this year, one foot in front of the other. Perfect practice makes perfect. He enjoys going fast but to go fast is to go slow. If you want to get to fast, you’ve got to go slow. The second piece of advice is figuring out how to get more of who he is accessible to a community. His focus has been digitally since he takes on a few clients at a time but it still allows for scaling as people have more access to him at a lower cost. The key is to build that community without the expectation that they will give you something back. Celebrate with them their successes instead of expecting something in return. </p><p>You can find more about Justin or follow him at @justinminott or visit https://www.justinminott.com/</p>

      <title>Ep. 70 - A Conversation with NY Times Bestselling Author Eve Rodsky</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen as Brooke and New York Times Bestselling Author Eve Rodsky discuss her new book, <i>Find Your Unicorn Space</i>. Eve shares her work with her previous book, <i>Fair Play</i> and how it has led up to her new book. The books have shown her that the antidote to burnout isn’t walking around the block, but being interested in your own life. She says having a four word audit is important to determine who makes your decisions and that there is a cultural movement to have people make different decisions about how they work, such as new decisions not based on assumptions but choice. </p><p>Eve is trained as a lawyer but she has been involved in organizational management specifically with family foundations. That lens of how to design an organization has led her to understand that how we spend our time is subversive. She noticed that her husband had time to watch tv but she was doing household duties until her head hit the pillow. She said this creates a cycle of rage and resentment and we need to learn to fill our time nutritiously. </p><p>When Eve researched how people feel about home life, the word that came up often was drowning but when she unpacked what that meant, the next two words that came up were overwhelm and boredom. These trends were triggering for Eve and she wanted to tell people how others have found how to rediscover the talents and curiosities that make you uniquely you. </p><p>Unicorn Space is active pursuits that make you come alive. It’s not a hobby because people associate “infrequency” and “nice to have” as hobbies. How do you get there? It’s not a passion because that connotes we all have one that we can return to. We are allowed to change. Eve feels like she changes her passion sometimes daily. The connection with the world and completion are the other two pieces to Unicorn Space. Eve’s rest is the restorative practice of her Unicorn Space. It is a mental and physical space you can go to outside of your usual roles. </p><p>Eve asks you to journal what is one thing that is important I am doing today that is outside of your usual role. </p><p>Her word for the year is flourishing. Languishing was the word of 2021 and so she likes the -ish and wants to figure out ways to restore yourself through the active pursuit of flourishing. She wishes that for all of the listeners. </p>

      <title>Ep. 68 - Finding Joy &amp; Purpose through Freelancing with graphic designer, Karla Pámanes</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Karla is a graphic designer who worked for a cable company for 10 years where she learned if you want something, you have to ask. From there, her family moved and she then worked for an agency and freelanced on the side. This is where she was introduced to Allobee. When the pandemic hit, she lost her job at the agency and decided to go home to Mexico for the summer where she began to focus on her freelance work. She lost her dad last year and wanted to use this opportunity to help support her mom. Her mission is to teach others similar to how her dad taught others in his career as a teacher. </p><p>In the past year, her business has taken off. She learned it was important to have a plan and set goals to have something to work towards. She learns from other freelancers from all industries and has invested in coaching to help build her community. Believing in herself has been the most important tool. Networking is also key by making real connections and friends. They don’t have to be in person. Be of service and help other people because everything you give comes back to you. She also learned it was very important to be present in the communities. (10 min mark recast) </p><p>To maintain productivity, she lives by her calendar and makes time to meditate. She sticks to her non-negotiables like being present for her family. She uses Asana for organizing projects. The resources that helped her along the way were a couple of courses she took called B-School and The Free Mama Movement. </p><p>To keep momentum for the rest of 2021, she sets quarterly goals and adjusts them when necessary.

      <title>Ep. 67 - A Journey of a Freelancer with Allobee Expert Copywriter, Jill Mokaya</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Brooke speaks with Jill Mokaya, an Allobee expert in copywriting. Jill’s background is in education. She taught for 15 years and has experience not only in the classroom but VIP Kid and other remote teaching opportunities. She has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in Art. She has certifications in copywriting courses. Allobee was her first introduction to offer her services to an agency. She had only worked with small business owners and solopreneurs. She was inspired by the level of organization and structure from the beginning. </p><p>In 2010, Jill felt called to go overseas to teach English as a second language. The second major shift in her life happened when she came back to the U.S. in 2015 where she went back to public school teaching. After she had her son, she longed for more and was no longer excited about teaching because she wanted to be home with him more. Jill knew she wanted to work from home and knew she could thrive in an online environment because of her side hustle with VIP Kid. Jill was attracted to freelancing when she stumbled upon the Free Mama Movement program. She joined the community and got immersed in the training and videos. After a while of this, Jill decided to jump in and start her LLC and self-teach several programs. </p><p>In her first month, she secured two retainer clients that stayed with her for 6-9 months. She was determined to learn by doing. As Jill worked with social media, CRM, email sequencing, and others, she realized that she wanted to niche down to copywriting. She attended a webinar on copywriting and realized this was her strength and she wanted to pursue it. </p><p>The one thing Jill wishes she knew when she began her career is taking messy action can lead to some of your greatest moments. She learned quickly you don’t need a fancy website, elaborate sales page before you declare that your doors are open. She says to focus on relationships and the benefits of what you are trying to offer or sell and how to master your craft.</p><p>Her biggest challenge happened recently as she dealt with the feast or famine that comes with freelancing. She was used to steady business and then experienced a period of time where there wasn’t as much work. She reflected during this time to determine if she needed to pivot and step out of her comfort zone and connect with a different target audience. The seeds she planted during this time have started to grow. </p><p>Join our hive! <a href="https://allobee.ac-page.com/hive-membership">https://allobee.ac-page.com/hive-membership</a></p>

Jill was attracted to freelancing when she stumbled upon the Free Mama Movement program. She joined the community and got immersed in the training and videos. After a while of this, Jill decided to jump in and start her LLC and self-teach several programs. </p><p>In her first month, she secured two retainer clients that stayed with her for 6-9 months. She was determined to learn by doing. As Jill worked with social media, CRM, email sequencing, and others, she realized that she wanted to niche down to copywriting. She attended a webinar on copywriting and realized this was her strength and she wanted to pursue it. </p><p>The one thing Jill wishes she knew when she began her career is taking messy action can lead to some of your greatest moments. She learned quickly you don’t need a fancy website, elaborate sales page before you declare that your doors are open. She says to focus on relationships and the benefits of what you are trying to offer or sell and how to master your craft.</p><p>Her biggest challenge happened recently as she dealt with the feast or famine that comes with freelancing. She was used to steady business and then experienced a period of time where there wasn’t as much work. She reflected during this time to determine if she needed to pivot and step out of her comfort zone and connect with a different target audience. The seeds she planted during this time have started to grow. </p><p>Join our hive! <a href="https://allobee.ac-page.com/hive-membership">https://allobee.ac-page.com/hive-membership</a></p>

He works to sell advertising to authors, largely independent authors. They do email, social media and primarily support the authors by giving them access to advertising for readers.

Allobee helped with the marketing and setting up of the campaign and getting working out the kinks.</p><p>Ferol got his start at a non-profit research lab that built medical simulators. There he was introduced to technology he didn’t know existed. He started doing some of his own freelance work and it drove him to get his MBA and he began working with ReverbNation, building software for musicians. He never connected with music but came from a family of readers and always wanted to work with his wife. She was an online marketing consultant at the time. They eventually started working together and built Written Word Media and hired staff.</p><p>Ferol’s biggest challenge has been balancing family and work, especially when his father was sick. He views challenges as opportunities. The key is self-awareness during trauma and chaos and the daily struggle that comes with that. It’s important to ask for help and support when you need it. </p><p>Ferol also talks about his favorite quote, favorite read, and how he plans on momentum through the remainder of 2021. </p><p><a href="https://www.writtenwordmedia.com/">https://www.writtenwordmedia.com</a></p><p>Ferol Vernon holds an MBA from Duke University with a focus on technology and entrepreneurship.

      <title>Ep. 65 - How to Build a Successful Remote Team Culture</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen as Brooke shares her experience at creating a remote-first company during a pandemic as well as easy tips at creating a successful team culture overall.</p><p>The Allobee leadership team is all on the east coast but experts are all over the United States. We do an All Hive meeting at the beginning of the month and I asked our workforce plus our internal team, if they could use one word, how would they describe our work culture here at Allobee. In this remote time, do people feel supported, inspired, welcoming, flexible, safe? I love that supportive was the #1 culture for Allobee. If you don’t feel support, a lot will fall by the wayside. I encourage you to do a word map or something similar to find out how they define the culture.</p><p>We make sure that our missions and values are extremely defined and that everyone knows about them. At Allobee our mission is to get women and caregivers paid that have left the workforce. It is also a mission to help our business owners scale simply. We talk about this a lot in all that we do. Are you talking about your values on a regular basis? Does your team know what your values and missions are? Talk about them often.  </p><p>Recently while on vacation, I was reading a book about the 3 things a CEO should do. One of those was culture. The author said he set up a Be Attitudes, which was a great play on words for Allobee, so I created 12 Bee Attitudes. Bee happy, kind, bold, proactive, etc. We implement these on a rotating basis. We make sure these are intertwined in our communication, through events and everything we do.</p><p>How do we bring people together? Virtual world can be complicated especially during the pandemic. The majority of our force are caregivers. Adding anything extra was too much so we didn’t do too much for the first few months. We were constantly asking how people felt and started doing more recently with virtual co-working where you can work and chat with the internal team. We also have our virtual meet and greet and use the Gather Round platform. It’s fun, laid back and easy and it helps team members who haven’t interacted much. One of my favorite things with our internal team is called Breakout Boxes. I encourage you to look into them.</p><p>The tools we use for collaboration and communication are  Asana, Slack, Zoom, Loom and Circle for our membership platform. If you have any sort of membership or want more of a community feel, Circle is a great way to communicate with one another.</p><p>In a world that’s constantly changing, it’s important to adapt and enjoy something better. What’s working for us today, might not work for us tomorrow. We need to have a pulse on our team and know what’s going on and how people are feeling.</p><p> </p>

And then it quickly pivoted and got some amazing traction with Target on the heels of COVID. Then as COVID was in full effect across the country, Hand in Hand was one of the few companies that was able to provide Hand Sanitizer to the retailer Target in a very quick turn around so they could quickly get it into consumers' hands. So it was at that time that the company sort of exploded. It didn't have that infrastructure to support the growth. Julie stepped in and helped Hand in Hand quickly put together an infrastructure to support the growth and meet all the important retailer needs and the inventory needs.</p><p>Check out the episode to hear more about Julie and her time not only with Hand in Hand, but Ben & Jerry’s and 7th Generation.

Then as COVID was in full effect across the country, Hand in Hand was one of the few companies that was able to provide Hand Sanitizer to the retailer Target in a very quick turn around so they could quickly get it into consumers&apos; hands. So it was at that time that the company sort of exploded. It didn&apos;t have that infrastructure to support the growth. Julie stepped in and helped Hand in Hand quickly put together an infrastructure to support the growth and meet all the important retailer needs and the inventory needs.

Check out the episode to hear more about Julie and her time not only with Hand in Hand, but Ben &amp; Jerry’s and 7th Generation. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Vernita is such an inspirational person. In this episode she shares her journey to becoming CEO and how she hopes that her path is helping inspire her daughter. We have a great chat about how we can best serve others by remembering they are all going through something. You’ll learn in this episode that ambitious moms can make it happen but they don’t do it alone and it’s not easy. We definitely need each other to reach our dreams, be our best selves, and be strong moms! Take a listen to be inspired today!</p> <p> </p> <p>Vernita was the first employee at Natalist and currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Previously, Vernita spent a decade working with organizations and businesses in positions of leadership, asset management, program development, recruitment, and culture building. She has a B.A. in Sociology, Master's Degree in Public Administration, and a Certification in Leadership, all from Clemson University. Both her professional experiences and educational background have helped her develop a very thoughtful approach on how to manage and sustain resources—including people resources.

      <title>Ep. 58- Work-Life Balance is Dead: How to Live Well Anyway with Flip Brown</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Excited for you to listen to our first male guest interview!</p> <p>Here is some more info about Flip Brown:</p> <p>Since August of 2000, I’ve worked with well over one hundred businesses and other organizations to help them become more connected, more collaborative, and ultimately more successful. I’m honored to have served my clients who have strengthened their business relationships, deepened their awareness, and held true to their values. </p> <p>In pursuit of providing strong value to my clients I’ve obtained over six hundred hours of professional development training, which is ongoing. </p> <p> </p> <p>My hunger for knowledge and experience has led me through multiple certifications and training programs. I went back to college at the age of thirty-seven and completed a Bachelors and then a Masters degree. I’ve been a supervisor and I’ve been supervised. I’ve sat on both sides of the therapeutic relationship. </p> <p> </p> <p>I’ve worked as a psychologist, nonprofit executive, international product manager, mobile crisis team clinician, retail salesperson, and wilderness workshop leader. I’ve also been a hardwood furniture craftsman, windsurfing instructor, gigging musician, cross-country ski instructor, a cappella singer, and rabid organic vegetable gardener. In short, I’ve had multiple careers and interests, and they continue!</p> <p> </p> <p>Three other things you should know about me. First, I am extremely blessed to have a wonderful wife and life partner. Sandy Post is a remarkable human being, and as someone who knows us well once said, “She wants the best for you and the best from you.” How true!</p> <p> </p> <p>Second, I have a deep lifelong involvement in music. There is a magnet on our fridge that says, “I may be old but at least I got to see all the cool bands” and is fairly true. I have been playing in and out of groups – rock ‘n’ roll, acoustic, Americana, and Grateful Dead covers – for over fifty years. I love singing in three-part harmony, and in addition to my main instrument of bass guitar I also play acoustic and electric rhythm guitar and have recently taken up the pedal steel. </p> <p> </p> <p>Third, I am humbly working to increase the depth of my spiritual practice. After having worked through growing up in a cult religion, I now cherish my connection to the Universal Life Force  using the doorways of Mahamudra Buddhism and Sufism, among others. </p> <p> </p> <p>To learn more about Flip:</p> <p>Website <a href="https://businesscultureconsultants.com/">https://businesscultureconsultants.com/</a></p> <p>Mighty Networks: wholisticwork.mn.co</p> <p>Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wholistic-work/id1549700182"> Wholistic Work Podcast</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Check us out at allobee.com </p>

      <title>Ep. 53- Preparing for the End of the Year with Brooke Markevicius, CEO and Founder of Allobee</title>

      <title>Ep. 52-Lessons from a Seasoned Business Owner with Dana Spinola</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Born and raised by entrepreneurs, fab’rik Founder Dana Spinola has been taught from a young age that if you love what you do you will never work another day in your life. This mantra inspired her to leave Corporate America and open her first boutique in 2002. Since then, she has carried out her mission of High Style With Heart nationwide with over 40 locations and growing. As Chief Visionary Officer, Dana’s vision for her company is to make women feel beautiful inside and out, one piece of fabric at a time.</p> <p> </p> <p>Forbes called her “one of the five great American Entrepreneurs you haven’t heard of yet but should know” because of her dedication to not only building a growing fashion brand but for inspiring a culture of people to weave purpose into their companies and their life. Dana has taken this message not only onto the pages of her book, love what you do, but to stages across the country. She has been voted Business Person of the Year, Women Making a Mark, and has appeared in dozens of publications from Wall Street Journal to Elle.</p> <p> </p> <p>While Dana sits at the head of a leading fashion franchise as well as a non-profit organization, her most rewarding job is being a wife and mom to her four children, two dogs and 20 chickens! She has three wild and adventurous boys, and a strong, fearless daughter, Asher, who they adopted from Ethiopia. When she is not busy speaking or running her company, she loves dance parties with her kids and sushi date nights with her husband. She learned the love of God on a trip to Haiti after the devastating earthquake and has been on a mission to share His love ever since.

      <title>Ep. 50-Vote Like a Mama with Liuba Grechen Shirley, Founder and CEO of Vote Mama</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I got to chat with Liuba Grechen Shirley, who is an amazing mama who ran for Congress while she had a 3 year old and a 1 year old! <p>Liuba has spent her career leading organizations to empower working families both at home and abroad. She has worked for the UN Foundation and was selected as a Global Champion for Women’s Economic Empowerment by UN Women.  Together with UN Women, she launched the <a href="https://twitter.com/UN_Women/status/720138246672498688"> #IAmParent</a> campaign for Parental Leave.</p> <p>Liuba has forged partnerships between government, businesses, and nonprofits to tackle issues including economic development, access to health care, and paid family leave. She has worked with diplomats, healthcare workers and government leaders across four continents, and fought to make the use of international aid funds more accountable and less corrupt.</p> <p>In 2018, Liuba ran a historic congressional campaign to represent New York’s 2nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives. She received the highest vote share of any Democrat to run against Peter King in 25 years. Liuba raised over $2 million with no corporate PAC money and built a grassroots movement of volunteers that knocked over 250,000 doors.</p> <p>She became the first woman to receive federal approval to use campaign funds for childcare. The decision, which gained support from Hillary Clinton and 25 members of Congress, was unanimously approved by the FEC. Following her historic win, nine federal candidates used her FEC ruling to spend campaign funds for childcare— and candidates across the country followed her lead and petitioned their state and local governments for the same right.</p> <p>Liuba holds an MBA with specializations in Management and Economics from New York’s University’s Stern School of Business, and a BA in Politics and Russian from NYU. She lives on Long Island with her husband Christopher and children, Mila and Nicholas.</p> In the News <ul> <li><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/04/09/want-women-to-run-for-congress-we-need-someone-to-watch-our-kids-first/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2e4980d24f11"> Want women to run for Congress?

      <title>Ep. 43 - Fair Play-Rebalancing Family Responsibilities and Reclaiming Your Time with NYT Bestselling Author Eve Rodsky</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Eve Rodsky received her B.A. in economics and anthropology from the University of Michigan, and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. After working in foundation management at J.P.

      <title>Ep. 31 - Building a Fashion Brand as a Mom with Caren Lettiere</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today we have the amazing Caren on the podcast! I loved chatting with her because as a founder myself starting a company, it was so nice to hear from a mom who has DONE it and done it well! Democracy Jeans is one of my favorite brands and I am so thankful that Caren created it. So let me introduce you to this awesome mama. Caren Lettiere is the founder and President of Democracy Clothing, a casual lifestyle brand designed for the modern, multitasking woman who grew up with fashion, but then got busy with life.</p> <p>After graduating from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science, Caren embarked on her non-traditional career path into fashion. She began in sales at Rampage Clothing Company, where she co-founded CDC, helping it become a leader in daytime, cocktail, and special occasion dresses. She then transitioned from Dresses into Sportswear, establishing the Trilogy Contemporary Sportswear division for Rampage, and serving as President, with responsibilities over sales and design.</p> <p>In 2002, she joined Kellwood as President of XOXO, to help assimilate this newly acquired brand into the company. Recognized for her ability to understand consumers, analyze sales, and interpret fashion insights, along with her entrepreneurial spirit, Caren was tapped to build the Rewind/Jolt Junior bottoms division and assumed leadership responsibilities over sales and design. After establishing Rewind/Jolt as a junior fashion industry leader, she identified a void in the marketplace for the unmet fashion needs of women like herself. Recognizing Caren’s knowledge and expertise, her friends and peers would ask for style advice and where they could purchase clothes suited for them. She sensed a growing frustration amongst women who couldn't find on trend clothing to fit their ever- changing body shapes.</p> <p>Fueled by the passion to fill this void in the marketplace, along with her deep desire to look current herself in flattering and age-appropriate clothing, she created the Democracy Clothing Brand. Founded as a denim based casual lifestyle collection best known for its "Ab"solution jeans and pants with fit technology, Democracy embraces women of all shapes and sizes, providing them with confidence building, modern clothing that fits both their bodies and their wallets. Today, Caren is leading a dynamic dream team through a period of unprecedented growth. In November 2019, Democracy launched a shop-able e-commerce site DemocracyClothing.com to facilitate an even closer connection to the brand's loyal customers so they can look good and feel good while doing good.</p> <p>Though deeply fulfilled by the brand she's created, Caren's proudest accomplishment is the fulfilling family life that she built along the way with David, her husband of 28 years, and their amazing kids Nicole and Josh.</p> DEMOCRACY DISCOUNT CODE FOR MOMENTUM LISTENERS: MOMENTUM2019 <p>The coupon code for 20% off one order per customer with an expiration date of Jan 31, 2019</p>     <p>Links for this episode:</p> <p><a href="https://momentummarket.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visit our website MOMentum Market and Sign Up</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/momentummarket" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow us on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/momentummarket/?eid=ARCq-k_QFkkHNLbypGZc7pxHs2RpMYrTYa5LxBTJDfkhb3QCnJYobS-eZgV07XX91f9pOB--Lcmy1lzm&timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=49600755&fref=tag" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Join our Facebook Community</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/momentumpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow us on Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://ifundwomen.com/projects/momentum-market">Support MOMentum Market’s iFundWomen Campaign</a></p> <p><a href="http://democracyclothing.com/">Shop Democracy Jeans</a></p> <p><a href="http://instagram.com/democracyclothing">Follow Democracy Jeans on Instagram</a></p>

      <title>Ep 20 - Catch the Wave: Join the MOMentum Movement</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever needed time off of work to care for a sick kid? To care for a dying parent? To recover from a c-section? To learn to be a new mom? Have you ever needed a season of your life to be more flexible? Society and the current workforce is not supportive enough to give us the flexibility that we need. That’s why we’ve created MOMentum. Moms need a platform that supports them in ALL seasons. In this last episode of season one, I talk all about what MOMentum Marketplace is and how you can be one of the first to be on our platform, and I talk about what the MOMentum Movement is and how you can get involved. Did you know that 43% of highly qualified women with children are leaving their careers?

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever needed time off of work to care for a sick kid? To care for a dying parent? To recover from a c-section? To learn to be a new mom? Have you ever needed a season of your life to be more flexible? Society and the current workforce is not supportive enough to give us the flexibility that we need. That’s why we’ve created MOMentum. Moms need a platform that supports them in ALL seasons. In this last episode of season one, I talk all about what MOMentum Marketplace is and how you can be one of the first to be on our platform, and I talk about what the MOMentum Movement is and how you can get involved. Did you know that 43% of highly qualified women with children are leaving their careers? Do you want to be a part of a platform that helps get moms paid so that they can lead the flexible lifestyle they desire? We are powered by moms, built by moms, and funded by moms!

      <title>Ep 19 - The Top 5 Things I Learned About Podcasting &amp; Our Season One Highlights</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>There have been so many valuable things I have learned from a season of podcasting that I wanted to take the time to share with you my top 5 pieces of advice. In this episode, I talk all about how important it is to just show up and not worry about creating perfection, which can apply to anything in your life! To celebrate as we wrap up this season (don’t worry there’s one more VERY important episode next week you won’t want to miss!) I wanted to take some time also and recap all of the amazing mama guests we had! The goal of season one was to amplify the voices of women and spread the stories that these mamas have to share with the world. We were able to share with you 14 amazing mamas and their personal and professional stories and advice. For them, we are truly grateful! MOMentum Marketplace and MOMentum Radio is built by moms and powered by moms. These mamas are the foundation on which we grew this first season and we encourage you to go back and listen to all they have to offer. We hope this episode gives you a glimpse into the power that mamas have and gives you the courage to go after your goals no matter how scary.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links for Today’s episode:</p> <p><a href="https://www.momentummarket.io/summerschool"> Register for FREE MOMentum Summer School</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.thestephaniemarie.com/coverpagedownload">Stephanie’s FREE Opt-In for Launching Your Podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/591638617953235/">Join MOMentum on Facebook</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.momentummarket.io/podcast">Check out the MOMentum website</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/momentummarket">Follow MOMentum on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/momentumpod">Follow MOMentum on Twitter</a></p> <p>E-mail us at: podcast@momentummarket.io</p> <p> </p>

      <title>Ep 17 - From Tobacco to Tech with Brooke Markevicius</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes life takes us in different directions whether it’s a career change, a move, or journeying down a different path of self-discovery. In this episode I talk all about my own journey from my North Carolina roots to being a co-founder of a tech start-up. We can all learn so much from the places we travel and the people we meet along the way. Each part of our journey is a piece of our story; a piece of the puzzle just waiting to be put together. Every community has something to offer and an opportunity for you to leave your mark in some way. My roots began in the Carolinas where my relatives farmed tobacco, and here I am years later returning to those roots and bringing my company back to the place where it all began. It is my hope that this episode resonates with whatever season of life you are in--whether you’re going through a move yourself or trying to create stability for your family. We all have interesting and unique journeys that I believe are so important to share.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links for Today’s episode:</p> <p><a href="https://www.momentummarket.io/summerschool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Register for FREE MOMentum Summer School</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youglowmentor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visit Jessica Tatieze’s Wellness Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/591638617953235/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Join MOMentum on Facebook</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.momentummarket.io/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Check out the MOMentum website</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/momentummarket" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow MOMentum on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/momentumpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow MOMentum on Twitter</a></p> <p> E-mail us at: podcast@momentummarket.io</p>

      <title>Ep 15 - Self-Care &amp; Wellness: Keeping Your Cup Full as a Mom with Jenna Walenga</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever heard the phrase, “You can’t pour from an empty cup?” Are you struggling finding the balance between caring for yourself and caring for your children? It’s not easy mamas! In this episode, I talk with Jenna Walenga, of Jenna Walenga Wellness. Jenna is a huge advocate for self-care, which doesn’t always have to be bubble baths and manicures Jenna believes that self-care is all about honoring what you need to be whole.
