  What If The Best Marketing Is A Conversation? with Jessica Rhodes

  Aug 17, 202644 min

  Send us Fan Mail I had the opportunity to chat with Jessica Rhodes, founder of Interview Connections, to talk about why podcast guesting is the rare kind of marketing that builds real connection instead of leaving us burned out. We share practical steps for getting booked, what makes a pitch feel professional, and why relationships still matter more than automation as AI changes the landscape. • podcast guesting as connection-first marketing for remote entrepreneurs • feeling “full” after interviews as a sign of alignment • building instant credibility and social proof through guest appearances • confidence gains from real-time feedback with a host • choosing interview topics based on client problems and transformations • pitching like a human instead of an AI template blast • including a one sheet with headshot, bio, links, topics, and questions • finding active podcasts using Listen Notes, Rephonic, Podmatch, and groups • quick research hack by searching where peers have guested • Jessica’s origin story as a new mom and virtual assistant • scaling from hourly work to packages, pricing, and an agency model • returning to CEO role and reshaping the company vision • competing with low-cost AI tools while protecting quality • handling change, grief, and identity shifts as a founder • why rest and nervous system care improves business results Connect and follow Jessica https://interviewconnections.com/ https://interviewconnections.com/podcast/ Are you ready to streamline your business and elevate your client experience?

  Purpose Through Faith And Awareness with Malaysia Harrell

  Jul 20, 202657 min

  Send us Fan Mail Malaysia talks about what spiritual alignment actually looks like when you are successful on paper but struggling inside. We connect trauma, grief, purpose, and peace, and we get honest about what it costs to keep performing instead of healing. • spirituality as alignment and awareness rather than religion • repeated patterns in work and relationships as a signal to look inward • reframing a survival job as an investor in your purpose • unacknowledged trauma and grief living in the body • miscarriage loss and creating rituals and support that women rarely receive • Malaysia’s near-death sepsis story and why self-advocacy matters in healthcare • preparing for what you pray for by building systems and practicing stewardship • recognizing alignment as peace even during change, grief, and chaos • combating loneliness through community, creativity, nature, and prayer Follow Malaysia https://www.instagram.com/malaysiahharrell download your copy of "The Becoming Manifestation Guide" Are you ready to streamline your business and elevate your client experience?

  The Art of Receiving with Kay Rashad

  Jul 6, 202652 min

  Send us Fan Mail Kay talks about why receiving feels so vulnerable for so many women, from compliments and gifts to support, money, and bigger opportunities. We name the habits that keep us shrinking and share practical ways to build self-worth, confidence, and emotional capacity so we can let good things land. • why giving is easy and receiving can trigger guilt and self-doubt • how rejecting a compliment rejects the giver’s joy too • fear of success and “waiting for the shoe to drop” mindset • affirmations, journaling, and speaking worth out loud • a simple breath-and-pause practice to actually receive praise • using encouragement in DMs and being mindful of online negativity • over-apologizing, trauma patterns, and taking up space • replaying conversations, anxiety spirals, and learning to move on • confidence as the result of receiving and showing up fully • dimming our glow to avoid growth, loss, or visibility • health, chronic illness, gratitude, and asking for help Connect and follow Kay https://www.instagram.com/discovering_kay Are you ready to streamline your business and elevate your client experience?
