Carly Gilleland
The Growing Pains Podcast
11/09/22 • 37 min
Storytelling through video has been a passion of Carly’s since the first video she produced in high school about her special needs sister. Seeing the impact the video had on her classmates gave her the drive to create a career telling stories that motivate, inspire and shed light on different perspectives. This is the foundation of her video production agency she started in 2016, the good vibe media. In the last 8 years, she and her team have produced high quality video for over 500 clients in a variety of industries. In 2021, her team set a big (and scary) goal to raise $100k in 60 days to start the build out of their dream studios. They surpassed their goal in July 2021, and officially opened the doors to the good vibe studios May 2022.
While she owns two businesses and has built a team of amazing female filmmakers, she is proud to say that her #1 gig is motherhood. She has a 10 year old daughter and her son is expected to arrive January 2023!

Candice D'Angelo
The Growing Pains Podcast
11/02/22 • 47 min
Candice went from doors being slammed in her face, being told ‘no’ repeatedly, and almost getting fired on multiple occasions...
To winning MAJOR multi-million dollar accounts, becoming sales rep of the month for multiple months, and the go-to sales rep for training newly hired sales reps how to hit the ground running in becoming an expert too!
There is much emphasis on giving a quick win and an instant gain, but that’s not a long-lasting, sustainable solution — especially when it comes to sales.
Candice gives business owners real, tangible results from repeated proven techniques that are transferable to any industry.
