I’m so excited to chat with Copywriter Samantha Burmeister of Nomad Copy Agency.

While the world is a noisy place, so is our own brain. That’s why getting outside perspective is so powerful. Whatever trusted person we turn to can reflect back our own ideas, validate our doubts, and push back on elements that could be clearer in our business, our messaging, or our offers. It’s always scary putting yourself out there, being vulnerable. But it does get easier with practice and it...

In today’s solo episode, we’re talking all things momentum. Why? Because I’ve found it to be one of the most essential elements in running a business and in staying motivated.
