You're in for a treat with today's guest: Bob Beverley, minister-turned-therapist. He's on a mission to make his 70s his best decade yet, and to let his light shine. We talk about a little bit of everything, from chasing your passion at any age, to putting yourself out there when it's scary, to why you should give less f*cks. Can't-Miss Moments from This Episode: "It's too late for me, go on without me!" drama is not allowed here: Bob shares what put him on the path to becoming a therapist at 34 (and if you've been feeling like you're behind, this one will inspire you to keep moving)... What do you do when overwhelm shuts down your forward momentum? Bob and I have some tough love about what comes before confidence... Have you tried saying it out loud to someone? I reveal my "self-induced peer pressure" trick for keeping me honest and accountable (because otherwise I'd break all my promises)... How to conquer fears when they pop up (and no, this doesn't involve suddenly becoming fearless)...This one will have you fired up to get out there and light up the world with your gifts. Listen now! Bob's bio: Bob Beverley is creator of The Sharp Club and author of The Daily Sharps. He has been a psychotherapist for over 25 years in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York. He works knee-deep in the trenches of despair, violence, confusion, hopelessness, and the human struggle for growth and well-being on a daily basis. The wisdom offered in this club has been road-tested in the emotional emergency ward he’s always worked in. He has written several books including Dear Tiger: A Book for Tiger Woods and for Us All, How to Be a Christian and Still Be Sane, The Secret Behind the Secret Law of Attraction (with Kevin Hogan, Dave Lakhani, and Blair Warren), and Emotional Elegance, with a preface by David Allen.

Today I'm joined by the FABULOUS Aleasha Bahr. We're talking about where the "ick factor" comes from and what most people get horribly wrong about selling (which inadvertently adds the "ick"). We'll show you how to rethink your relationship with sales - a critical step to building a successful business. This one is like a whole high-level sales training packed into 40 minutes... listen now! Can't-Miss Moments: My "walk of shame": the thought process that led me to dropping flyers on local businesses at 5am (and what I learned from my MISERABLE failure)... SPOILER ALERT: you're ALREADY a natural salesperson. Aleasha reveals all the subtle and obvious ways you might be fighting against your own nature (and success)... Attention beginners: being new to sales or to your business isn't automatically a sign of weakness. Here's when it's an advantage (and we walk you through how to make the most of that advantage)...  Aleasha rips apart the idea of "charge what you're worth" and replaces it with a simpler idea that'll help you land deals faster...   Angie rant: I get up on my soapbox about why siccing the pitchfork mob on "problem clients" can backfire (and what do instead to when you've been wronged)...  Aleasha's bio: Aleasha is a woman in a male dominated industry who is calling out the common lies perpetuated in sales. Primarily, the lie that you have to do things that feel “weird” to win sales and experience hundreds of reps and rejections before you can be “good” at sales.    The truth is, nothing is one size fits all - especially not something as dynamic and unpredictable as sales.    She loves giving people a refreshing alternative - the Matchmakers Sales Method - Because if it’s a fit, it’s a fact and there’s no “selling” involved. And enjoys giving people the permission to lean into THEIR personal strengths instead of acting like someone else. In her experience, it ALWAYS sells more!    She's been featured on Rocky Mountain Marketing Podcast, Sales Game Changers, Business Innovators Radio and Outside Sales Talk.  Resources and links mentioned: Aleasha’s WebsiteAleasha on InstaAleasha on FacebookAleasha on LinkedInSales is NOT a Dirty Word on Apple Podcasts (check out my episode here!)Support the showLet's collab: Book a chat Work with Angie Get the PTKA book Let's connect: Angie’s FB Page Angie on IG Angie on YT I find a lot of my guests via PodMatch.

I sat down with physician turned entrepreneur Dr. Christopher Loo expecting to chat about his journey from medicine to business. But we ended up covering a little bit of everything, how we're conditioned to be good workers to how we have to get good at giving AND receiving if we want abundance to flow. Join us for rants about corporate greed, why aiming for an "A" is holding you back, and our take on which marketing tactics NOT to use. Can't-Miss Moments from This Episode: To cold pitch or not to cold pitch? I share a rather interesting pitch that'll show you how NOT to reach out (and what to do instead to increase your odds of success) Universal truth: generosity needs to flow. But did you also know THIS thing needs to flow (and without it you'll be stuck in a vicious cycle)? SPOILER ALERT: a network is not something you build, it's something you GROW. Are you accidentally ignoring it because you're in build mode? Tenants, toilets, and trash:  what Dr. Loo learned from his crash course in running a real estate business  Confession: my least favorite class in grad school was entrepreneurship. Why? I couldn't figure out how to get an A! And if that isn't business (and life) in a nutshell, I don't know what is. Listen for the full story...Trust me, you'll laugh, reflect, and walk away with concrete ways to build authentic connections and kick ass. Don't miss it! Dr. Cristopher Loo's bio: Christopher H. Loo, MD-PhD, is a physician who became financially free at the age of 29 and retired early at the age of 38 as a result of making strategic investments after the 2008 financial crisis. He is passionate about the intersection of social media, Web3, digital assets, metaverse, and AI for thought leaders and influencers. He is a graduate of the MD-PhD program, through the Baylor College of Medicine and Department of Bioengineering at Rice University, and is the Founder and CEO of Financial Freedom for Physicians Podcast.

Ever felt like you were pretending to be "normal" at work when your brain is a FDA-unapproved jittery mess? You'll love my conversation with today's guest, Kristen Stelzer of Weirdly Wired Women (how cool is that name?). We're exploring how finally embracing our ADHD diagnoses helped us quiet the noise and design careers that work with, not against, our unique wiring.

Jen Hope is back for round two today, and I can't WAIT for you to hear this one. We're digging into that nebulous idea of "leadership" and why it's not a dealbreaker if you don't feel like a leader most days. Can't-Miss Moments: Jen and I rap on the "unconscious competence" conundrum, and how to see yourself more objectively (and AWESOMELY) Bold claim: resistance is a GOOD thing, and something to lean into instead of avoid. Jen and I have some ideas on how you can use those hard lessons as leverage to get where you want to go...  Car singing? Dance parties? We're getting good and ranty on what I do to get myself out of an anxiety spiral and get the energy back up... Among the things we made up as a society: money, rules, deadlines, the way things supposedly work. So why not let Jen and I help you make up a few things that work for YOU?

Today I’m joined by my Marisa Corcoran! Marisa is the brains behind Copy Confidence Society, where she helps coaches and creatives craft copy that attracts dream clients. We're both proud 'hookers with a heart of gold'—no, it's not what you're thinking (you'll have to listen to get the full story). This episode is full of so much gold. We're diving into authenticity, giving 'professionalism' the middle finger, and giving you a sneak peek into our wild digital nomad adventures... Listen now! Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode: Want to kick ass in your business? Step 1: Get to know yourself, flaws and all. Marissa and I are dishing out the deets on why it's the ultimate game-changer for success... Brace yourselves: copy is not the end-all be-all that marketers like to claim it is. Copy is a must, but it's only half of the equation. Here’s what matters more… Ever felt the urge to toss your personality out the window for a so-called "professional" mask in your business? Marissa and I are on a mission to debunk that nonsense. Here’s why your true self is the superhero your biz needs… You know the part of you that you think is shameful, embarrassing, and you kinda want to shove in your closet and lock away for the rest of time? My friend, that is your magic and Marisa and I are here to help you claim it…  Why on earth would I put someone in the trunk of my car at a business event? Marisa and I dig into how a random ride to the bar kicked off a whole tradition (one that strangely enough, has people volunteering for the trunk)… This one is jam-packed full of advice.

Say hello to Justin, well known for being one of the funniest copywriters out there. Post-divorce and some serious business evolution, he realized cracking jokes every minute didn’t feel quite right. What’s a funny guy to do when jokes have become part of the brand? Justin's here to school us on the art of rolling with punches, and embracing the fact that, like fine wine, we humans grow, change, and get better with time… Listen now!    Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode: If you've been donning the disguise of the 'professionally accepted' you to lure in clients and earn respect… Justin and I are here to snatch that mask off. We’re deep-diving into why, in a crowded ocean of competition, embracing your unique self is not just a power move but the ultimate marketing strategy...  Plot Twist: forget creating something 100% unique – it's overrated (and doesn't really exist anymore). If that’s been stopping you from getting yourself out there, Justin and I have some perspective that’ll get you unstuck and moving forward with confidence…   How often do we speak our minds versus crafting responses based on what we think others want from us? (If you claim to be 100% honest 100% of the time, I’d like to point out that your pants are on fire.) My story from my days waiting tables will open your eyes to what people REALLY want to hear…   Mosh pit marketing: how a story I kept hidden for more than six years spilled out in a professional setting (hint: alcohol was involved), and changed everything about the way I do business...  To be vulnerable, or not to be vulnerable? Where's the 'sweet spot' in opening up? Justin and I reveal how to find the fine line (and when to keep things close to the vest vs baring it all to the world)...This one is jam-packed full of advice. Don’t miss out - listen now!

Enda’s Bio: Before pivoting into Marketing Strategy and Direct Response Copywriting, Enda Ndungu was a Corporate Finance analyst.
