Once Upon a Time, Bitches with Branden Lanette
Meet Branden Lanette, The Women's Mindset Coach and author of the amazing new book, 'Once Upon a Time Bitches.' She joins Gina for a can't miss episode.
Branden knew many successful women at the top of their game, who just weren’t happy. With that realization, she set out on a long and often difficult journey. Her now very distinctive brand was built out of decade of rejection. With a passion for writing and a vision to help women in business, she kept pushing until finally landing a two book deal. Now she’s onto book number five and running a thriving mindset coaching business.
Branden talks with Gina about her path as an author and coach, how anybody can be somebody, how a book is like a baby, the smart way to scale, and an ultimatum that backfired. They continue with some very deep conversation on relationships, self-worth, and finding balance.
It’s an amazingly inspiring episode about not giving up on that part of you that keeps you alive and gives you purpose, and how embracing who you are doesn’t mean sacrificing accomplishment. Listen now and thank us later.

Going Rogue: Childlike Wonder
What can we learn from a child? (Other than the fact that Gina has a course at Sales Gravy called Selling Like a Child). Today Gina and Rachel talk about the experiences from their childhood. The enthusiasm, frustration, passion, disappointment, wonder, failure, dreaming big, persistence, ingenuity, and new ideas. Just think about how that reflects the positive and negative paths in sales. Maybe there is still a child within us all, and that get what they want.
Come and grow with Sales Gravy
