Don’t be ashamed of your authenticity.

Jana N. Nagase is a film critic, columnist, and podcaster originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil. She is a member of the Critics Choice Association & Film Independent, and Brazilian International Press Association.

Since 2012 she has supported the community with the columns she writes for Gazeta News, the biggest Brazilian newspaper in the US based in Florida. This year, her YouTube channel “Jana on Camera” celebrates its 10th anniversary. Jana on Camera provides behind-the-scenes interviews with artists from big studios, independent studios, and Latino newcomers in the entertainment industry.

Jana shares her success and how she overcame many of the hardships that immigrant women face in trying to navigate the entertainment industry. She reveals her process of securing red carpet interviews from celebrities and addresses the level of preparation that’s required.

Jana created a business from what she loves doing the most, despite many people telling her she didn’t have the right ‘look’ for this field of work. Naysayers can say what they want, but this tough lady proves that love, authenticity, and following the principles of good journalism can truly make miracles happen.

The most important thing is to trust yourself and not let anybody else tell you who you are! Jana’s advice is to hold on to who you are in your heart and don’t change your essence or your accent - for anyone!!

Style isn’t just about clothes. It’s a canvas reflecting our authenticity, adapting to life’s changes, and crafting confidence in our journey of self-expression and success.

The personal narrative of Robin Fisher, an influential figure in the realm of image consultancy and style strategy, underscores the importance of embracing individual taste and navigating life transitions, especially in the wake of the global pandemic.

But it doesn’t stop there! Robin’s wisdom extends beyond personal transformation. If you’re ready for a positive energy boost and lots of freebies on personal branding, this episode is for you.

Notes:
💄 Robin is an image consultant and style strategist, named as one of the top fashion professionals in Washington DC by Capitol File Magazine: the pandemic has significantly influenced our dressing habits. 02:59
👩‍💼 Dress in a way that makes you feel confident and looks appropriate for your environment: confidence comes from showing up as a high-functioning professional woman. 04:59

Learn how to be resourceful with your money, and you’ll be investing in a better future.

Vera Jimenez is a weather person, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who shares tips and tricks for making your money work for you. So many money-making gurus gatekeep their knowledge and make opportunities seem few and far between, but this is not the case because there are plenty of opportunities for smart investments and managing your money wisely.

The key is having the passion for obtaining your goals and starting your ventures, but quickly switching to business mode and knowing when it’s time to sell and move on. Seek out networking groups, take a course, listen to a podcast, and pay it forward by sharing what you learn with other women. Don’t let your money scare you, make it work for you!

🏭 Vera was the youngest of 6 kids in a family without a father: her mother dreamed a life for Vera that doesn't involve working in a factory. 03:29
💼 Vera's mother saw entrepreneurship as misery, uncertainty, and fear, but Vera wanted to be her own boss: she started working at 15. 05:32
🚘 You're allowed to go into debt only for a house and a car: Vera leads a debt-free lifestyle. 10:13
🔵 Entrepreneurs fall in love with their idea so much that they forget to take the emotion out and think logically: Vera sold the restaurant right before Covid, bought a property she fell in love with, and then had to short-sell it. 12:26
💰 We mom-mode our businesses, so we forget to be tough: if you're going to buy property, you have to make a profit the day that you purchase it. 18:09
✅ Always look at the market you're buying in if you want to be a real estate investor. 21:03
💲 Vera owns homes, invests in a commercial real estate trust, invests with partners, and lends finances: money is energy - it goes out and comes back in, so spending well is as significant as earning well. 23:54
❤️ People move to California to feel that connection with nature: the risk-reward is valid. 30:20

The She Leads Podcast: Real Conversations with Women Entrepreneurs - The Power of Cultivating a High-Performance Team and The Right Mindset with Victoria Hajjar

To have a successful business, the first person we need to learn to lead is ourselves.

Victoria is the CEO of Ugli Ventures, a marketing consultancy for 6-figure female founders, and a podcaster. Victoria focuses on female entrepreneurs and optimizing sales and marketing strategies, team building and leadership development to establish sustainable, profitable 7-figure enterprises. She has cultivated global brands across various sectors and countries including the US, the UK, China, Sri Lanka, the UAE and Mexico.

Over the course of her career, Victoria has observed that men typically possess a mindset wherein they’re less likely to feel the need to perfect every aspect themselves before delegating tasks. Contrastingly - and generally, women entrepreneurs often feel the need to ‘do it all’ and end up focused on lower level tasks that hinder their businesses momentum. To move more efficiently towards success, it is essential to understand your business from a higher strategic level, envision what success looks like, and rise above the weeds. This high-level perspective allows one to more easily build a scalable marketing machine.

Victoria believes women must do all they can to learn to delegate more effectively and focus on team building to drive business growth. The commitment mindset is something every business owner needs: create the goal, write real numbers down on paper, and check in on them every single week so you can adjust and keep the eye on the prize!

Let’s all commit to delegation for success!

Notes:
👩‍💼 Victoria is on a mission to help women entrepreneurs to success by focusing on a more feminine approach to running businesses rather than adopting the male way of working. 04:13
🤷‍♀️ How to create a successful marketing department: don’t do things alone - nurture your team. 09:38
🗝️ Delegation is the key to growth. 16:27
🧐 Hiring a team when you don’t have enough funds: who do you need in the team? 21:07
🧠 Setting your mindset up for success. Adopt the founder mindset and hit targets: the line of questioning that gets us to our goals. 29:54
⚡ Power of design thinking, setting goals, setting targets, and checking in with them periodically. 34:35
🪞 Interact with women that have achieved great things. Find your accountability partner. 36:38
⚠️ The process for everyone is the same: no one has all the answers. 41:56

11/10/23 • 39 min

Community is the cornerstone of empowerment. It’s where connections flourish and transformation takes root.

Deb Schell, a global entrepreneur with over 60 businesses under her guidance, shares invaluable insights on online community building. From discovery to strategy and implementation, she simplifies user and backend experiences. In this enlightening episode, she offers her expert hacks from her book “The Creation to Community Builder”. Communities are a big part of our lives, but often lack intentional engagement. Maintaining relationships can be tough even in private life, and social media are more distractions than help. Online communities are great for building consistency, habits, and support for a business. Do you see yourself as a Community Builder?

If you are intrigued by community building and want to dive deeper into this topic, connect with Deb for an insightful conversation.

Notes:
⭐ Deb assisted over 60 entrepreneurs in building and growing their online communities through podcasting and consulting. 01:35
✅ Community builders must place a high priority on establishing psychological safety and purposeful connections among members in order to cultivate meaningful relationships. 09:32
🤝 Having a breakout room to mingle with a few people is a great way to make people feel at ease: retreats are also fantastic for online communities. 12:22
❣️ Community doesn’t solve every problem: to build a community, you have to work on connections rather than content and comprehend real people, not just their personas. 19:19
👉 Community is about consistency and habits: we can continue to forge deeper relationships in this way instead of expanding widely, as we do on social media. 25:16
🔵 The goal of the community is to connect people around a particular topic and solve a specific problem: priority is the value, not content frequency. 27:16
💵 Community is also a beneficial addition to the business: hiring community managers and making investments in communities. 30:41
❗ The frameworks that worked for six and seven-figure people don’t work for everybody: technology doesn’t matter if you don’t have people. 36:35
💌 Dab is open to chat: for any questions, email her. 38:48

“Comedy is a serious business. A serious business with only one purpose — to make people laugh,” said W. C. Fields. Also, comedy has a tremendous effect on our lives. It improves our social life, boosts brain activity, reduces stress, improves physical health, and makes us more attractive. Enter our esteemed guest for this episode, Carole Montgomery!

With a long and varied career and over two dozen television credits to her name, Carole Montgomery is a respected veteran of the standup comedy scene nationwide.

Beyond television appearances, Carole has headlined clubs and colleges across the USA and starred in two prominent Las Vegas production shows, and captivated more than five million audience members during her decade as a Las Vegas luminary. She is the creative force behind and stars in three Showtime specials for Funny Women Of A Certain Age.

🤒 Juggling work and illness: performing 13 weekly shows in Las Vegas. 04:09
🩵 Blame Carole’s comedian career on her father: in 1979, comedy didn’t seem like a legitimate job. 06:38
🎤 Navigating the comedy circuit: when you’re a new comic, it's tough to get to the stage. 08:52
🌟 Vegas stardom at any age: Carole’s ten-year reign and selling her show at 59. 14:34
✅ Persistence pays off: earning the nickname "Pitbull” from her mother-in-law and clinging onto opportunities, showcasing that refusing isn’t inherently negative. 18:50
👉 Always ask, be persistent, and at least you’ll get an answer. 20:50
🎓 Carole and Adrienne shared examples of rejection: we can’t walk around constantly feeling rejected, just move on with your life. 24:10
💕 Inclusive comedy: supporting amazing undiscovered women's talents in the stand-up scene. 29:04
❣️ Leaving a meaningful legacy: “If I left the world tomorrow, my son could say his mom did something really important” is Carole’s inspiration. 33:33
📢 We all live so much in the present and future that we forget what we’ve done in the past: Adrienne inspired Carole to do a TED Talk, and if you want her to give a speech at your event, contact her! 38:16
