The Rainmaker Podcast

If you've started to resent the program you have created and are worried you are outgrowing your audience or questioning it, in this episode, Alexis and I discuss how it could just be down to a lack of awareness and intentionally about how you put the mastermind together and how you show up inside of it.Join us as we dive into the topic of masterminds with our guest, Alexis Dean, founder of The Dovetail Community of Women Entrepreneurs. Alexis shares her experience and insights on why successful women are closing down their masterminds and how you can avoid falling into the same trap.Alexis shares her tips on removing yourself as the focus of the mastermind and becoming the steward of the community instead of the coach. We also discuss the importance of adjusting the power dynamic, separating the mastermind from being a space where everyone looks at you to lead, and creating a two-way street where you can receive and give. Plus, we touch on the importance of psychological safety in a mastermind and how it takes time to receive so that you don't disrupt the balance in the community.But that's not all! We explore the impact of building a team from a following of people who aspire to be the CEO rather than hiring individuals who want to grow the company. So, if you want to learn how to create a successful and thriving mastermind community instead of running from it and closing it down, don't miss this episode!Learn more about Alexis:Alexis Dean is the Founder of Two Roads Team Development, and The Dovetail Community of Women Entrepreneurs.

Today we are exploring the dynamic relationship between a Visionary CEO with a big drive and big goals, and her talented and badass Rainmaker, who also happens to be step-mom and daughter. Tune in as we delve into how this dynamic started. You'll hear from Julia, the Visionary CEO, as she shares where her vision comes from and why it means so much to her, and from Beth, the Rainmaker, as she explains how she got behind Julia's vision and how the relationship was formed from being step-mom and step-daughter. We explore how Beth learned her skills through grit and hard work and how Julia has helped her grow as a leader. Along the way, we'll discuss their different personalities and how this dynamic works. We'll also outline the recipe for success between this duo, from not surrounding yourself with 'yes' people and being pushed out of your comfort zone to hiring students who are already bought into the organization's values.Learn more about my guest, Julia:Julia has taught over 3,200 women (and some awesome men) to say "YES" to learning tech skills (most of whom never considered themselves techy in their lives)! She is a (former) military wife, self-taught web developer, lover of location independence, and a passionate advocate for women in tech! In the pursuit of her own career and career progression, she taught herself how to code. It was love at first sight and learning this one skill has changed her life in ways that she never thought possible.Julia is incredibly fortunate to run her multiple 7-figure business from the comfort of her sofa (or wherever in the world she might be)... All because she stumbled upon tech and learned marketable in-demand skills! Empowering women and seeing others succeed is the biggest motivator for Julia. And so, she created a platform to teach others the skills that allowed her to take back control of her life and start living on her own terms.Learn more about my guest, Beth:Beth has 7+ years of experience as a marketing and ops lead. In the last 4 years with GeekPack, she has planned and executed 7 major online events, resulting in over $1.4M in revenue. Her innovation and flexibility has built a sustainable ecosystem for marketing and sales, which can ride out any market conditions.
