The New Generation Entrepreneur Podcast

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?

If you’re getting inconsistent results or having difficulty articulating what it is you do and how you can help, here’s what to focus on for effective messaging, and it’s not what you think. Many entrepreneurs assume your copy and content are what make up your messaging, but it's really an ecosystem with 3 powerful hidden elements.   This time I’m throwing it back to a previous episode all about the three elements and how to use them in your business for effective messaging. Tune in to hear me reveal what those hidden elements are and how to implement them in your messaging so that you can create an ecosystem that builds a powerful connection between you and your audience.   Like this episode?

Bigger launches are NOT the only way to make more money. Time and time again, I see exhausted entrepreneurs focused on creating a bigger launch, better evergreen funnels, and more promotions because they believe the only way to make more money.

But I'm here to tell you there are easier, faster, and more profitable ways to generate revenue inside your business!   In this episode, I’m sharing how you can generate more money without doing more promotions and bigger launches. Listen in and discover a behind-the-scenes look at our backend process for bringing in over 1M in sales, how to save your launch, simple ways to create more revenue with each promotion, what a sales machine actually looks like in a business, and so much more.   Like this episode?

I’ve been in the online space for over 8 years. And, in this timeframe, I’ve lived with my in-laws, I’ve been in debt, and I’ve had launches that flopped. But I've also created numerous 7-figure courses, launched 7-figure coaching programs, and been a part of multiple 6-figure launches. Through this broad gamut of different highs and different lows, I discovered three main themes to scale with success from each low.   In this episode, I’m breaking down each of those themes that will help you scale with success from wherever you are. So tune in to discover how I went from $40,000 in debt to a 7-figure business in 9 months, a bonus win for turning your business into a smooth-running machine, and examples and breakthroughs in turning a low point into a win. Running any business has highs and lows and it is important to navigate them with integrity and a focus on what matters most, and that's what this episode is all about!   Like this episode?

A mask that I see so many entrepreneurs wear is that of a perfectionist and it's holding them back and making the road to success more difficult, and yet so many entrepreneurs still feel the need to strive for perfection.   I'm doing something a little different this time and taking us back to a previous episode that I believe every entrepreneur needs to hear. I'm talking about the root of why some entrepreneurs hide behind perfectionism and how to escape it. I'm also diving into why perfectionism is bad for business and how imperfect action is what will really help you grow and thrive. If you're ready to leave the perfectionist mentality behind and start taking action and seeing results in your business, this episode is for you!   Like this episode? Subscribe and leave a review!

There’s a lot of change that you experience in your life as an entrepreneur, and I know I’m not the only one experiencing shifts. I am a big believer that when you share stories inside of your brand, or podcast, or inside of content, you should really be sharing stories that you've already gone through and have learned lessons from, but in this episode, I want to share what I’m going through right now, so you can see other ways of navigating the unknown without losing your personal power.   In this episode, I'm sharing my story about how this past year has been one of the most emotionally difficult times in my life, and how it’s led me to have the most personal power. So tune in to learn how your attachments can keep you living in fear (and what to do to release them), the secret to moving through change and experiencing deeper, more fulfilled relationships, what to do when your marketing strategy isn’t working and how this relates to you and your power, and so much more.   Like this episode?
