You deserve to know what's going on and a well researched perspective on the topic so in today's episode, we'll be unpacking how and why the EMTALA protections were rescinded. I'll explain who this affects, key points to remember, and advice on family planning I am implementing as well.

If you are letting your money sit in your Venmo or PayPal account, there is very little upside and a lot of downside to doing this. That money is not fully protected from fraud of bankruptcy from the holder, that money could get frozen for no apparent reason, and it's not accruing any interest. Listen in as I explain why you should move that money to your bank account TODAY.

Sales gets a dirty scammy rep but the truth is, if you can’t sell people you can’t help people. Charging people is not immoral, it's required for their success.

If you have a good product or service, you have an obligation to be good at sales. I’ve closed over 2.3 million in sales and only had $7,000 in refunds which is .3% of total sales. Unheard of in my industry.

“If your product or service is good enough it sells itself” is such a lazy approach to business. When it comes to most clietentel, they have limiting beliefs around spending money on themselves, mom's and women especially.

A tip I have for sales that a lot of people miss: bridging the gap. In this episode, I'm going to explain how a lot of people fuck up sales by talking about themselves too much and not enough about solving their potential prospects problems. We'll also talk about what to look out for during the call and how to personalize your program for what they want in real time.

Something recently happened inside my company that inspired this episode and reminded me the value of effective leadership especially in today's age. We had a payment issue for a client which could have derailed their entire experience with us but my team member not only took responsibility but took extreme ownership in owning the mistake and making it right quickly.

This is a testament to hiring value first but also how I show up as a leader and what I instill in my employees. Listen in as I explain more of the story and share 6 ways to improve outcomes through feedback.
