    EP 110: Creator Economy, Courses, Kajabi Hero Live Event, and AI

    This week's episode is interesting as it takes you through my  experience of speaking at the Kajabi Hero Live event alongside some of their most talented creators. The invitation itself was a honor, as I've always been focused on the work rather than seeking recognition. Today, I'm thrilled to share my journey at the conference and the invaluable insights I gained from being in the presence of Kajabi's most influential creators.

    EP 109: Master Where You Are

    EP 109: Master Where You Are

    In this week's episode, I wanted to address a concept: embracing the beauty of staying where you are in your journey. It's essential to recognize that there's absolutely nothing wrong with mastering your current stage over a consistent period of time.
     
    As I've been engaging with numerous entrepreneurs, a prevailing sentiment has emerged—a collective stress to constantly strive for the next big thing. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that rapid scaling often brings unforeseen risks and unattended consequences that are rarely openly discussed. Throughout the episode, I provide details into the intricacies of this topic, breaking it down for you and providing valuable insights.
