25: Rebuilding with Purpose & Clarity to Create the Life & Business You Love: My interview on the Irie Lemon Podcast

09/01/20 • 100 min

Today’s episode is a bit different than usual. I’m sharing an update on how my business and life have changed significantly since COVID-19. I talk about rebuilding my public relations agency with intention after three challenging months, where 80% of my business was wiped out. I also share some of my biggest takeaways in overcoming these obstacles.

Then I’m sharing a replay of my conversation on the Irie Lemon Podcast with Liz Della Croce and Vincent Mcintosh, which happened when I was in the middle of this huge transition.

Listen for more about why doing more isn’t always better, the importance of refocusing and reevaluating goals, and looking inward rather than seeking external validation and affirmation.

And be sure to check out the Irie Lemon Podcast! Liz and Vince also recently launched a mastermind, and I highly recommend signing up for a seat while you can.

“The biggest thing I’ve learned is there are seasons in life, and it’s not forever. It’s all temporary.” -Liz Della Croce

24: How to Create the Lifestyle You Desire & Find Financial Clarity with Tara Jones-Williamson

In this episode of The AMPLIFY Show, I’m chatting with Tara Jones-Williamson, the founder, CEO, and success coach of Your Pretty Pennies.

I first met Tara a few years ago when we sat on a panel together for Ladies Get Paid, and we instantly connected. She is so inspiring to me, not only as a businesswoman, but as a woman. Tara learned about personal finance out of necessity as a single mom trying to make ends meet. Not only was she able to triple her salary and start her own business, but now she helps other women find financial freedom and build wealth.

Tune in to learn about Tara’s strategies for negotiating a higher salary, finding financial success, and creating your ideal lifestyle.

“If you get caught up in the additions and subtractions in life, you start to add and subtract your self-worth... You have to separate your personal value from the value you bring to the workplace, to your finances.” -Tara Jones-Williamson

26: Keep Winning: Business Through a Pandemic with Vincent Mcintosh

In this episode of The AMPLIFY Show, I’m chatting with Vincent Mcintosh, the 23-year-old owner of Irie Kitchen here in West Michigan.

Vince opened his restaurant at age 19, and you’ll hear more about how being an entrepreneur is just part of his DNA. We also talk about being a restaurant owner during a pandemic, our shared traits as Enneagram 3s, and the merits of crunchy versus creamy peanut butter.

He’s launching a mastermind this fall with Liz over at the Lemon Bowl, with whom he also hosts the Irie Lemon Podcast.

If you’re in a place of transition right now too, I think Vince’s attitude, personality, and philosophy will serve you well. Happy listening!

“The biggest thing I've learned is it takes more than just what you can do. In a brick and mortar business, you need people.” -Vincent Mcintosh
