Lynda is the Founder & CEO of Action Takers Publishing, a Speaker, 22 time #1 International Bestselling Author, Executive Film Producer, Red Carpet Interviewer, and Philanthropist. She ran away at 5 years old and was gone an entire week. She came home riddled with fears and, in turn, became a people-pleaser. At age 51, she decided to face one fear every day for an entire year. In doing so, she gained an exorbitant amount of confidence and now uses what she learned to fulfill her mission of empowering 5 million women and men to write their stories.
During our chat with Lynda, we talked about her journey to leave corporate to follow her dreams and passions after 36 years (and 49 jobs) in corporate, how she jumped, without a net, to become an entrepreneur, her decision to break through one fear every day for an entire year in 2015 (at age 51), the scariest fear she broke through, the pros and cons of jumping without a net, and mentorship (and how to find the right one for you).

EP 24: Shut Out The Noise And Tune Into What Works For You With Guest Amy Flo-Yo Flores-Young
Amy Flores-Young (Flo-Yo) is the founder of FloYo Travel and the creator of the IMPACT Retreat Roadmap. Amy ensures her clients, soul-centered coaches, consultants and speakers, experience joyful travel as they go to and from events and conferences to grow their businesses. Amy also helps her clients create in-person events and retreats that result in deeper connection with their communities, a larger reach and impact for their unique methodology/body of work, and a profitable event. As a former facilitator herself, she knows how difficult it is to manage the endless logistics while being the “face” of the room. Amy has perfected the art of weaving together the ultimate location and itinerary that both engages and energizes your guests.
During our chat with Amy, we talked about why she chose to do things differently (against the grain), why she is "ok" with NOT having a big change-the-world mission, how she learned why many in-person retreat events fail (or aren't truly profitable), and how she learned to cut out the noise and shiny objects to tune into what works for her.
Be sure to check out Amy’s website for all of her awesome free resources and listen to the episode for her discount code for $100 (per adult traveler) on any travel booking/service!
