11. Be Responsible for the Energy You Bring Into the Space with Amy Anderson

Today’s episode is all about energy, but more importantly, taking responsibility for your own energy. My guest is Amy Anderson from Inspired by Reflections.    Amy and I met last fall in a podcasting course. I was fortunate to be put into a weekly meeting group with her and two other wannabee podcasters, and we’ve maintained weekly zoom group chats ever since.    In this episode, Amy and I talk about taking responsibility for our energy and how it affects others. We chat about Oprah, assholes in a room, shit shields, and so much more. We are using an episode from the Yes/And podcast by Judi Holler called as the foundation for our conversation.    The Podcast Club: like a book club, but for podcasts!

9. Tips and Tricks to Selling Online with Erica Marchand

I can’t wait for you to hear today’s episode. Erica Marchand from Bear and Fox Apparel joins me, and we’re chatting about social selling.  Erica is very comfortable being in front of the camera on social media. I definitely don’t use social media to its full advantage and learned a lot from Erica in this episode. We chat about educating our customers, slipping into someone's DMs, the use of AI technology and multiple streams of revenue. If you use social media to sell your products or services, this is the episode for you! We are using an episode from the Brand Meet Creator podcast called Selling Online in a Way That Doesn’t Make You Cringe as our jumping-off point. The Podcast Club: like a book club, but for podcasts!

8. Reflecting On My Founder Story. The After-Work Drink: Irish Buck

Happy National Irish Whiskey Day! Today is another bonus “after-work drink” episode. I love these episodes! I get to sip on a cocktail while chatting about a business-related topic. In this episode I dive into the reality of living through a slower season in my business, and how my Founder Story helped me reflect on where I once was, and where I am today.  As entrepreneurs we often get caught up in the weeds. We work so hard in our business - day in and day out -  that we don't often reflect on the path that navigated us to the actual business idea, and/or celebrate how far we've come.  Today I am sharing my Founder Story and how it's helped me get out of the slump from the dreaded "slower season." I'd love to hear your Founder Story. Send me a DM on Instragram. What lead you to your business?

Please find the recipe below.  Irish Buck 1 ½ oz of Irish Whiskey  1/4 oz lime juice Ginger Ale Add ice to a tall glass. Add Irish Whiskey and lime juice.
