E249: Shana Francesca - Living Life by your own rules
04/04/24 • 35 min
In Shana's own words:
Growing up, I watched the people around me and saw so much pressure to pretend. Most people were scripting their lives from the dictations of their parents and society...here is how you become a female or male adult...do these things, don’t do these things...this is the life you ‘should’ be leading...what your life should look like...this is the life you want; this binary is the only acceptable way.
I was born into an abusive household and was raised inside an evangelical Christian cult. Because I experienced my life almost entirely as high control and was punished for being myself. Imaginary worlds were my only safe space and books became my friends and mentors.
My life doesn’t look at all like my childhood. I spent the last fifteen years studying psychology as an amateur, building on my emotional intelligence and personal awareness moving through life and healing. I have changed so much in the last 7 years and as a result, so has the business since I started it part-time in 2016.
Several years ago while leading group coaching for entrepreneurs and business owners of varying years and decades of experience I realized my scholarly studies were taking up more and more space in the world.
Through the process of building the firm and connecting with clients, I realized that our mission is larger than I originally imagined. I needed to let our ethos, our culture and the brand take up more space in the world, support and work with more people in a deeper and more expansive way.
My work went from focusing on empowering others to design their lives through intention to recognize the power of my work with leadership as well as in our individual lives and now focuses on Intentional and Ethical Leadership and Living.
We empower people, and those who are also leaders, to connect with curiosity, respect, and accountability to transform their lives and leadership. To build community and connection and to move away from the idea of a lonely leader at the top to understanding the power and strength of a community of voices driving innovation and profitability through a healthy culture.

E248: Robert Indries - Achieving anything YOU want
In Robert's own Words:
I was born into a modest family in a very small town in Transylvania, Romania. I spent the fist part of my life on farms, caring for livestock and working land. When I was young, my family told me “If you want to learn, you can learn in any school.” I think that’s the pre-school version of “You can achieve anything you want to achieve, no matter where you are right now.” And that’s exactly what I continue to believe. Traveling gave me an ideal vantage point to observe common mistakes and successes in businesses on a world-wide scale. This mindset has helped me to build an empire of 8 businesses generating 7-figures yearly, to travel over 100,000 miles visiting 17 countries, speaking in front of thousands of people in 3 different languages, and to maintain a loving relationship with my gift from God, Diana, and our close family and friends. Throughout these years, I have also: * Generated over $500,000,000 in business value for my clients. * Delivered on over 200 projects for clients in 19 different sectors. * Consulted over 1,000 professionals to achieve 2-10X higher levels of effectiveness. * Created athlete-level health and an amazing marriage in between. If you're ethical, ambitious, and have capital, I'd love to help you achieve your vision and leave an ever greater impact. Just email [email protected]
