I've been talking a lot about changes lately, and this episode shares one of the biggest changes to my business yet. The person who helped me build this business, our integrator and Chief Operations Officer, Taylor Cooper left the company. It’ll be impossible to replace her and, of course, she left on good terms. So before she left, I wanted to have her on the podcast to talk about the very beginning of how we met and all the way through building a multi-million dollar company.   In this episode, we're telling the whole story of how this company came to be what it is today. Taylor helped me build the agency, which was bringing in $600k a year... and she was alongside me when we shut the agency down and focused on launching our courses. Tune in and you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look into hiring, firing, and building a rockstar team, how to find the right integrator for you, the ups and downs of working with me, communicating, and trusting each other, and so much more. Plus, you'll hear what Taylor is up to now!   I’m beyond thankful to have Taylor in my life and on my team. Join us in celebrating her time with us and discover what worked for us along the way, as well as what did not.   Like this episode? Subscribe and leave a review!   Connect with me on Instagram!

I started my business broke and living with my in-laws. I tried LOTS of different strategies, frameworks, and online courses… but there was ONE move that fast-tracked my success the most and that's when I worked with James Wedmore. He showed me how to launch, systemize my business, market, and put a course together, and most importantly, he helped me turn my business into a machine. Since then, I’ve mentored hundreds of students inside of Business By Design on how to do the same.   In this episode, I'm breaking down how you could get 6 figures within 6 months and systemize your business just like James did for me. Listen in and discover the 8 focus areas for fast results when you join BBD through our link, why creating a program is NOT your first profitable step, the processes needed to scale the business quickly and efficiently, and what you can accomplish in the first 6-months to help you scale in the future. I want you to make money first, and then grow with profitable assets (which I break down in this episode!)   Like this episode? Subscribe and leave a review!   Connect with me on Instagram! 

The right mentorship can change the course of your life. I struggled for about five years when I started my business. The biggest reason? I was stubborn and I thought I knew “enough” on my own. Then the universe shoved Jim Fortin and James Wedmore into my life. I went from living with my in-laws to a multi-million dollar business owner. Oftentimes, disruptions in your life help you create disruptions in your industry, very similar to today's guest.   In this episode, I’m sitting down with college professor turned 6-figure entrepreneur, Dr. Ai Addyson-Zhang. From overworked and underpaid, Dr. Addyson-Zhang stood up for her beliefs even in the face of bullying and heckling, left education, and created a thriving business. Tune in to learn empowering insights from someone who changed careers when it was far from popular or accepted, powerful mindset shifts for entrepreneurs who want to scale, how Dr. Addyson-Zhang landed a feature with Katie Couric, and several interviews with large publications (like Forbes and Pearson), and created a TEDx Talk, and so much more!   Like this episode?
