So I have something special that I’ve been working on with online business expert Danielle Prahl that starts MAY 1 and this week’s episode is directly related to it. If you do not know who Danielle is (scroll down for our previous episodes together!), but she has been the secret weapon of some of the biggest multi 6  & 7 figure earners in the online business space - not only helping them through launches from mindset to strategy and execution but also helping them find new ways to monetize (I’m talking names like Jenna Kutcher and Jasmine Star to name only a few).     She and I really wanted to create something that is fun and accessible to EVERYONE listening who really wants to learn to leverage the online space to build their brand and business, but who might not be currently able to invest what it takes work with us one on one.   So we decided to create THE MASTERMIND! Click HERE for more info  Now, for this week's episode... Danielle and I discuss  the 7 excuses that you need to give up today to get the most out of your business and your life. These are the most common ones I hear in my business (and I know she hears them in hers!). We discuss why they are BS and how you can start moving past them!

The Beauty Lounge has been voted Ventura County’s #1 medical spa and they offer state of the art lasers, skincare, and aesthetic procedures to a wide range of customers from tweens and teens with breakouts to 50+ year old men who want to compete with their younger counterparts.   And even if you don’t follow beauty content on Instagram, you might recognize them and the Beauty Lounge from the huge influencers posting about their frequent visits. Names like Jake Paul, Erika Costell, Amanda Cerny,  Becky G, Austin Mahone - It's a who's who of young influencers and celebrities.    It doesn’t matter if you have no interest in beauty, we’ll be digging into social media, business, and branding.

Veronica has been establishing her name and reputation in the beauty community for years and now with the combination of great work, Instagram, and influencer marketing, people travel from far and wide to see her and her team.    In this episode, we talk about the effects of Instagram on the beauty industry and on people’s expectations of what they should look like, what’s popular right now in the world of aesthetics, insights into how to attract and work with influencers, the difficulties of balancing the business with content creation, how they’ve grown their business, what’s next and more!    To connect with the Beauty Lounge:   Instagram   Website   To connect with me, Brittany Krystle: * Free Linkedin Training  The LinkedIn Laws Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Website Facebook #beyondinfluentialpodcast

I truly believe there is something to learn from everyone who is influential in their space and my guest today does something very different from the guests I’ve interviewed so far, but he is incredibly influential and impactful in his space and needs to be in a place of constant creation and connection to do it.

“If someone says they can’t go through the door, or the back door, or the side door, I’m coming down through the fucking chimney. You've got to figure out a different way to get what you want, it’s not always going to be the same way as everyone else.” - Lauryn Evarts Bosstick   I’m particularly excited for this episode because it’s an interview with someone who is brought up on this show A LOT as an example of a personal brand (and overall brand) who is doing it right and killing it in their space. I've mentioned her, guests have mentioned her...   My guest this week is Lauryn Evarts Bosstick, the creator of The Skinny Confidential, which is it’s own media empire, including a blog, a book, an incredibly successful podcast and she’s not stopping there.  Lauryn’s collaborated with a who's who of brands from Nordstrom to Victorias Secret  TopShop, Free People, SHAPE, Reebok, Nasty Gal, Elizabeth Arden, Skinnygirl, Benefit Cosmetics, Roberto Cavalli, Urban Decay, Urban Outfitters, and more!   On last week’s episode, I interviewed Lauryn’s husband the CEO of Dear Media and also one half of The Skinny Confidential podcast, Michael Bosstick. If you have any interest in the business of podcasting, monetization, the future of audio, influencers, you’ll want to check out that episode.    And Michael and Lauryn do a lot together - business wise, brand wise, and obviously they are married, but it was never a question to me that I really wanted to interview them separately because they are worth knowing separately.   They both provide so much value and experience in so many areas that are relevant to this audience that it wouldn’t have done it justice to make it one show. They really are such a power couple and I’m honored to know them (they really are class acts on top of it!).   Before we get into the show, I want to give even more context on why Lauryn’s brand is one to watch. I started following her journey in 2016 after I met her and Michael when they came in for a filming of The #Askgaryvee Show. How hard she worked was obvious then and the growth and the evolution of her brand in the last three years is completely a result of her hustle.     Lauryn's brand is a true case study of building brand the right way. This is a woman who lives and breathes her brand and Her execution is frankly flawless.  I’ve dealt with a countless number of personal brands at this point and here’s a difference I want to note for people. There are plenty of people out there who are very calculated about their brands, Lauryn is intentional. And that’s a huge difference. She IS the skinny confidential.   Some people know their audience down to the last detail, but don’t fully know how to execute on that, but Lauryn is great at delivering exactly what they want and building a true community. Again, people throw around the words community - her Skinny Confidential private Facebook group, which you should definitely check out if you’re a woman because it’s only for women, IS active. I can personally say I’ve met some great women from that group. You can check out any photos, videos or posts from live events she does - she gets a huge turnout. Even just check her comments on Instagram. She gets engagement.    All while also being a master at monetizing in a way that feels organic. She’s one of the few influencers in the space who has gotten me to convert based on her recommendations. I’ve been watching her adapt and grow as a business woman and I’m so excited to see what she’s building next. We literally ran out of time, but I could honestly have talked to her about just her brand for hours. I can’t say enough good things about the value she dropped in this interview. She’s told her story a million times so I didn’t want to waste time there, you can head to theskinnyconfidential.com/about if you want some more background context, but we cover all parts of her business from her content process, to her different income streams to how she’s strategically evolving her brand.   Let’s just get into it, please enjoy my conversation with Laura Evarts Bosstick.   To connect with Lauryn: Instagram The Skinny Confidential TSC Podcast My episode on TSCPodcast To connect with me: Free Brand Audit Free LinkedIn Training Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Website Facebook

I get a ton of questions related to podcasting and the business of podcasting and on this episode we’re going deep!   My guest this week is Michael Bosstick, the CEO of Dear Media, a podcast network focusing on female hosts and voices. He’s also the co-host of a The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast that he records with his wife Lauryn Evarts. At the time of this recording, their podcast has 26 million downloads and counting. I’ve been a listener since the early days of their podcast and I love that they’ve embraced podcasting as a medium. Michael is also a serial entrepreneur in his own right, which we’ll get in to in this episode.    I had a great conversation with Michael around 6 months back on podcasting that I wish was recorded, so I really wanted to have a conversation with him this time on the record about all things podcasting.   We talk about what he’s building at Dear Media, podcast networks, podcast monetization, podcast platforms, growth, distribution, influencers, the future of audio… if it’s related to podcasting we talked about it.   With that, pease enjoy my in-depth conversation with Michael Bosstick.  To connect with Michael: Instagram Dear Media TSC Podcast IG To connect with me: Free LinkedIn Training Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Website Facebook
