I’m joined by life coach, speaker, and Soul Activation Technique™ creator Kelly Hopkins.

In this episode I chat with Julia Wells (a.k.a. Julia Mother Effing Wells) to talk running a pleasure based business and what that even means. Julia is a fellow introvert and first made the jump into entrepreneurship and coaching about 5 years ago and had zero clue as to what she was doing. She took courses, hired coaches, posted on social media, made offers and tried to sell yet, basically got nowhere. She eventually got sick of spending money on things that didn’t work and didn’t feel good and decided that she had to find what worked for her. She quickly realized that the thing that makes us innately female is the very thing missing in business that is robbing us of the income and impact we’re so longing to make. We chat:What a pleasure based business is (it’s not all sexual!)Prioritizing and delegatingWhy introverts are so good at relationship buildingHow to have a small audience but large businessBreaking rules and being shameless in life and businessPleasure when it comes to profitBy undoing the conditioning that says we have to work harder, crush our competition, used fear based marketing, and sacrifice until we make it (aka delay pleasure until we hit our goals) Julia’s pleasure based business took off and she now teaches others how to have the same. Julia’s Book Recommendations for the Ambitious Introvert: Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena ThomashauerUnbound: A Woman's Guide to Power by Kasia UrbaniakConnect With Julia:https://www.juliacwells.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/visibleAFhttps://www.instagram.com/juliamothereffingwells/Connect with me:www.emmalouiseparkes.comInstagram: @emmalouparkes49 Introvert Friendly Marketing Tips E-bookCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: 👉🏼 Join Introvert 2.0 this September - the small group mastermind created just for ambitious introverts like you Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?

This week I’m chatting with voiceover actor (and fellow INFJ), Jodi Krangle. Jodi’s career in voiceover began in 1995 when she spent a year in a volunteer position with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) creating books on tape. Several years later, she took the leap to venture out on her own. She’s done voiceover work in the healthcare, corporate, hospitality, political, and non-profit sectors, among others and has the knowledge behind making her clients sound good!Jodi and I discuss: Audio branding and what it isWhy and how to be consistent within your brandingThe emotional aspect that audio can bring to a brand Why audio is just as important (if not more) as visual brandingHow to go about finding music and sounds for your brandThe voiceover industry as a whole!From Disney to Depend and beachside resorts to little blue pills, Jodi has just about done it all. Through her voiceover services as well as her podcast she shares why audio branding is the hidden gem of marketing. Jodi’s Book Recommendation for the Ambitious Introvert: This Is Marketing: You Can't Be Seen Until You Learn to See by Seth GodinConnect With Jodi:https://voiceoversandvocals.com/https://voiceoversandvocals.com/podcast/Connect with me:www.emmalouiseparkes.comInstagram: @emmalouparkesFacebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert NetworkApply for 1:1 CoachingCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: 👉🏼 Join Introvert 2.0 this September - the small group mastermind created just for ambitious introverts like you Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?
