Ready Yet?! With Erin Marcus

Welcome to your official introduction to powerhouse Marie Hale.  She has been living the entrepreneur life for 20 years and has been brilliant enough to reinvent herself numerous times along the way, while adjusting to personal loss, business ownership, and being a mother/at-home-teacher during a pandemic.  With all that experience to propel her, Marie prides herself now, more than ever, with bein...

Business owners are often only thought of as in-your-face extroverts, who can’t wait to dive into networking and meet new people.  Not always the case! I’m happy to introduce my friend, Teresa Hnat, who is proof that introverts deserve just as much space in the entrepreneurial world as us outgoing folks.  Join us as we discuss overcoming social anxiety, following our passions, and making changes t...

So often we put off our dream job or life, because we’re too wrapped up in helping other people live their dreams.  When is it our turn? Well that answer is now!  Today’s guest is my friend, Christie Ruffino, who helps women be their best selves in business and in life.  Join us as we discuss stepping up, who we help, and overcoming mediocrity...something Christie’s built a whole podcast around.

I get so inspired when I find someone who knows their truth, owns who they are, and leans into how they were made.  Jen Coffel is just that.  We share so many things in common, including wanting to achieve more in order to help more people (and animals).  Join me as we discuss embracing our authentic selves and stepping up our game to make the world a better place.

I seriously don’t even know how to do justice to introducing you to Tonya Reid. I love her energy. I love her take on things. I absolutely love how she embraces beating her own drummer - and how she has learned to turn that into having a big beautiful life. You know you’re going to learn something from someone who had her first existential crisis at six years old, right?!?!? So….. let me introduce...

As you will hear in my introduction of my amazing guest, Tess Krebs, one of the things I have found so absolutely amazing about her is how open she is to feedback and critique. I have often said that people would rather double down on their mistakes than to ever admit they were wrong. Well Tess’s amazing accomplishments are a testament to what is possible when you’re brave enough to be open to lea...

What do you do when the company you worked for and put everything into, suddenly and unceremoniously tells you it’s over?  Well if you’re Gladys Agwai you use it as a time for reflection and insight, and then reinvent everything about what it is you do in this world. And you do it all on your own terms!  When I was asking around for recommendations of who to interview for this podcast, I was point...

It’s been a while since I’ve done it, but I absolutely love fighting as a form of exercise. So of course I was completely intrigued when I first met Piper Dominguez! Finally a woman who was as crazy as I was :-)  Turns out she has a LOT more going on than meets the eye. In addition to being a badass in the gym, Piper’s comforting embrace of her own graceful feminine side gives her an insightful an...

I’m so excited to introduce you to my friend, Debbie Heiser.  As a person who has for many years stayed very “in my head” with my approach to life and getting things done, Debbie has intrigued me from the moment I met her and learned of her ability to combine that masculine, analytical, get it done head space with her more emotional, heart-centered, be-able-to-receive feminine side. The real benef...

Ever meet someone who is doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing in the world? Somehow they have managed to take some seemingly unrelated experiences and abilities, and combined them to help people and have an impact. It’s almost like there was some divine intervention going on from waaaaaay back that had their future personally in mind.  When I first met Tamara Golden I had a feeling she...

Many people want to know the secret of being a successful entrepreneur. And so many times they think it’s that you have to have the one single most brilliant idea that will outshine everyone else’s idea. But that’s not it. In my conversation with Kim Kleeman, we talk about the truth to being a successful entrepreneur...what it actually takes….and how fast it can all change.  And since Kim’s basica...

How do you say how amazingly proud you are of another adult without sounding condescending? But that is where we are at….and I have a few years on him….. so maybe it’s ok.  I’ve been honored to witness my friend Aaron’s professional journey for almost 10 years now. From part time realtor to…. well I won’t spoil it for you!  Join us for the conversation and learn not just how Aaron grew his amazing...

Jamie Shibley is a natural giver. It’s that nature that helped her build a premiere networking group. Even her business is centered around helping other entrepreneurs give to their clients. But when circumstances turned things around and basically forced Jamie to be more on the receiving end, she ended up embracing the fact that oftentimes receiving is it’s own special version of giving. Guest Res...

Here’s a simple formula for success: decide that you are only ever going to work with or associate with the top one percent mindsets in the world….and then stick to your guns! By eliminating the noise and getting crazy clear on what exactly he should be focused on, Justin Breen has been able to create a global company in record time. If you appreciate the direct approach to offering insight and ad...

Sometimes you don’t think that you’re Ready Yet!?  But a lot of those times the folks around you already know you are! When Anna Krolikowska decided to put aside her own hesitations and listen to those encouraging voices, the result is ending up as the President Elect of the Illinois Bar Association…..only the fifth female to hold that office since 1877…...one of the youngest to hold that office……...

A lot of people will tell you that they work on building their business and helping their clients. But truthfully, there is working on your business and then working on your business absolutely no matter what, no excuses, nothing is going to stop you! My guest today, LoriAnne Reeves, falls squarely and strongly into that second category.  It’s what drew me to her and what I know will impress and i...

What happens when you have a belief you can help people, but have no plan yet on how to do it (while your wife is pregnant with twins)?  EVERYTHING if you stay open to opportunity. Not only is that what Robb Z did for himself after leaving a position in a company he fought hard to reach, to join a new business, but it’s also what he did for me when he said yes to being my coach - even though he wa...

Every now and then you meet someone who helps you finally articulate something you’ve been feeling, but couldn’t quite figure out. Today’s guest, Allison Williams, has done that for me in a profound way. I really only knew two things about Allison before this conversation. One, she was a lawyer from the east coast. And two, she was unabashedly herself - which is not the stereotypical image of an e...

It’s a different level of understanding about what is possible when you foster the right relationships that sets this week’s guest, Chris Johnson, apart. The co-creator of a fast-growing networking group, Chris sees first hand the magic that can be created when networking is done with the right attitude. You have to love a group whose motto is “no jerks allowed!” This conversation will give you so...

So many of us have incidents in our lives where one person says one thing to us and it affects our entire life trajectory. Sometimes these incidents propel us forward, but all too often, they derail all our efforts. Isn’t that crazy? Letting one person say one thing and boom - we stop! Well, I am honored to say that I was there to witness the moment when my friend, Diana Stelin, took back the trut...

If you haven’t caught on already, Allison and I are very different people :-)  That’s what makes this conversation so interesting.

We can all agree that 2020 didn’t quite turn out in any way, shape or form how anybody would have wanted or even ever been able to predict. And while there might be a lot to be able to complain about and be sad about, let’s take a moment to focus on what we have learned in the process. Growth is always in the challenge.   Resources: Website   LinkedIn Facebook  Instagram Forge Your Path. Unlock Yo...

Every time I talk to Katia Rave I learn more and more amazing things about her. Like seriously, how does one person have so many amazing experiences?  But instead of telling me all about those experiences, Katia would rather embrace everything she has done wrong and failed at because it helped completely propel her forward. No excuses. No apologies. Just an unabashed zest for more life and providi...
