Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter

This summer, we have both been inundated by launches - client launches, launches from people we follow, and launches in our own businesses. So, we’re sharing some of our lessons and takeaways about launching - and that leads us to the big, brave discussion about sales feeling sleazy. Manipulation, marketing to people’s deepest fears, selling from desperation and scarcity, and more.  Check out our...

We’re back to talk about ChatGPT again. I know, I know, but hear us out: we’ve learned a LOT more about how ChatGPT actually works and why some advice out there about how to use it totally sucks.

Everyone is always talking about how little they work and all the mountains of money they make, so we thought it might be interesting to share a peek behind the curtains at what our days are like at this point in our businesses. Amanda is almost 2 years into business and Sarah is about 4 years into business, and this is a glimpse at what our daily lives actually look like. There’s no four-hour-wor...

What does that look like for you?  (Also, follow our time off adventures over on Instagram!)  Check out our YouTu...

Because of the nature of what we do, we get to see so much behind the scenes of sooo many different types of businesses. We get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly!
