I am the QUEEN of waiting until I feel like I have the perfectly planned out video / post to put anything out into the internet world.
But, I am finally realizing that "perfection" is a myth...and also boring.
That being said, I am finally doing something that I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember...start a podcast to give my take on the wild world of Entrepreneurship. Which could get weird fast..we will see.
We had a BLAST talking with Fitness Instructor turned Real-Estate Entrepreneur Tyler Ramey! We cover getting a job that has NOTHING to do with your degree (spoiler alert..it works out), how to overcome burnout, and maintaining your identity outside of what you "do". Tyler has had a professional path that included MANY pivots, forks in the road, and imposter syndrome 101. Buckle up and get ready for some random musical outbursts & some info that you won't soon forget.
Excuse my energy level in this podcast (and maybe turn your volume down a notch ha!) because we are PUMPED to share this conversation we had with Blake Salyer, Founder of Winze Co. & Co-Founder of Lincoln Road Coffee Lounge. He shares his journey from starting a t-shirt company to creating a give-back coffee experience in Norton Va and everything in between. One of the (many) things we loved about this conversation is how honest Blake was/is about the self doubts and struggles he has faced along his entrepreneurial career path & the incredible advice he drops on pushing through the fears, embarking on the journey (whatever that journey is for you) and becoming a person YOU believe in along the way. In the words of Miley Cyrus..."It's the cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimb." And on that note we say - enjoy this conversation with Blake!!
FIRST STUDIO POD WATCHHHHH OUT! It's finally here - episode 5 of the rpl. effect podcast! On this episode I had the pleasure of talking with the woman who can do your hair, sand a dresser, and run her small business all while giving you the best life advice basically ever ...the one and only, Lindsey Niewland. One of the absolute hardest things about pursuing a dream, a business, a new career or honestly anything out of your normal routine is JUST GETTING started! If you feel stuck, unmotivated or like your voice doesn't matter in the world...this is the episode for you. I am really excited to share this convo with ya'll!
Well we're moving on up to the eastsiiiiiide to that deluxe podcast in the skyyyyy!..... But, seriously I am so excited to introduce you all to my first ever rpl. effect guest, Laura Quick! She is the Founder & CEO of GoodGrit Magazine, an amazing Mom, Wife, Entrepreneur and most importantly (to me of course ) my first ever Business Mentor. Today we are going to share our conversation about the importance of LIFE LONG mentorship, journaling, why being the dumbest person in the room is so important (unless you are sneaking back stage into a concert) and much, much more. I really hope you enjoy. Let us know your favorite part in the comments below!
We've made it to part 3 of my story & whoooo weee...what a story to rehash. In this episode I talk about what actually caused me to sell my first business & what the "sell" actually looked like (spoiler alert..it wasn't pretty.) My battle with mental health, hitting rock bottom, losing my "identity" & FINALLY starting over. I hope this episode can help you avoid the mistakes I made that caused me a whole lotta heartbreak. Or, if you currently find yourself in this season THIS is your reminder that you WILL be ok & your best days are still ahead! One of my favorite quotes comes from the baseball legend Babe Ruth & it says - "It's hard to beat the person who never gives up." Your only job right now is to just.keep.going. You've got this!
Part 2 of my "entrepreneurial" (one day I will be able to say AND spell that) story. Spilling the beans on the pillow company I started out of my living room, the great burlap debacle, and how a 5 hour drive + a meeting in Birmingham, Alabama helped me discover my "Why" and how you can find yours too! When you find your "WHY" magic starts to happen.
I feel like it's only right to kick this off with a little background of why you should even consider listening to what I have to say about Entrepreneurship (besides just good wholesome entertainment..of course) In today's episode (I feel so legit typing that) I cover part 1 of my story aka starting a non-profit at age 18 with a little help from Taylor Swift herself. What's something that has inspires you professionally or personally?! I wanna know all the things!
