Quotes from the Episode

It’s your duty as a human being to work on yourself, so that starts to be reflected on the outside.

Over the years what I’ve discovered is that marketing is like a detective, and marketing starts to show the things that really are not working within your company.

Earth school is hard.

It’s also a call to practice discernment. What really is going to feed me? What really is my passion?

What if you quit labeling things as good or bad? This is an experience I’m going through right now. Instead of labeling it. What am I to learn from this?

You have to be willing to just crack yourself open, which is really hard, and it does take vulnerability.

April Porter: The Secret Sauce for Startup Success

“They say, I’m still working 60, 80 hours a week. I got into this so I could pick my kids up from school and so I could attend their soccer games that are after school and I haven’t been able to attend one. I got into this so that we could go on great family vacations. And I haven’t been on a vacation now in five years. More people are coming to us for those reasons…it’s the lifestyle sacrifices that are causing people more pain than taking home a paycheck that isn’t what they thought it would be.”

Jane Megown: How a House Fire Ignited Success

It’s not about me selling and, you know, me making money. It’s about you being satisfied and happy with what you want and what you need. And I’ve always had that kind of philosophy, and my dad had that, too. And people recognize you’re not in it for yourself, you’re in it for them. And you’re sincere, and it really goes a long way.

Sylvia Owens: Basketball & Boardrooms

Leadership is not about the leader. And I equate this back to basketball. When you have coach or coaches, they can’t go out on the court and shoot the ball and dribble the ball and pass the ball. But coaches have to be really good at getting work done through others. And so from a leadership perspective, that’s how I see it. As a leader, I have to be really good at getting work done through others.

Debi Corrie: Failures Fuel Future Success

“Gallup just got done with their survey for 2022. They found 25% better profitability in companies that have great employee cultures. Because when you have happy employees, happy employees make your customers happy. Happy employees want to invite other people to come work at their company. Happy employees want to share their ideas to make the company better. All of a sudden, you’ve created this culture where people want to contribute, and that’s the reason we do what we do.”

Shalia Ford: Transforming Trauma Into Triumph

“I think that what I’m able to do in the program is to create the brave space that women need to be vulnerable, to do the internal work that has to happen, to have great and deep, thoughtful, reflective conversations, to bring in a lot of other great women. But at the end of it, that she’s breaking out of that chrysalis and she’s got her wings.”
