Kassi Wilson on Becoming the Poem Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to the IGNITE Your Dream Podcast!

This week's episode is with brilliant poet + kindred soul, Kassi Wilson.

Kassi Wilson is a poet, indie author, and native of Minnesota. Kassi spent her childhood at the lakes immersed in water and sunshine. She's cultivated a love for the natural world that inspired her debut poetry book Growing Gills. Her newest poetry book—Fire and Flourishing is a captivating collection of poems that captures the aftermath of a cross-country move during wildfire season. Poems delve into themes of change, grief, hard lessons, growth, motherhood, and love's resilience. The through line is a deep desire to rise above the status quo and flourish with a reignited passion for life. Kassi's writing resonates with women, wives, and moms offering solace and inspiration.

In this conversation Kassi shares her journey to poetry and how, in a sense, she has always lived inside of it, even before the words ever landed onto paper.

I can't wait for you to listen!

Leslie Zane on the Power of Instinct Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to the IGNITE Your Dream Podcast!

I am absolutely geeking out over today's podcast guest, Leslie Zane- genius marketer and trailblazer of over 30 years- talking about my very favorite topic: the subconscious mind.

Known as the pioneer of "Instinct Marketing," founder of the first female-led brand consultancy that still exists today, and author of new book "The Power of Instinct," Leslie Zane is a renegade. She is revolutionizing how organizations shape consumer decision making by focusing them on changing instinctive behavior – the decisions that consumers make on autopilot.

Zane's perspective defies traditional thinking. She maintains that what consumers say is unreliable, that indirect cues are more effective than direct persuasion, and that successful ideas, brands, and political candidates have multiple associations, not just one defining identity trait. But, like many unconventional thinkers, her ideas were dismissed for years. With a chuckle, she admits, she's had a 25-year head start practicing what behavioral science theorists are beginning to explore and consider today.

We talk about all things brand identity, marketing and how to catalyze growth in our businesses. Today's episode is a masterclass in marketing, so grab your favorite journal + a pen and let's dive in. I can't wait for you to listen!

Courtney is an entrepreneur, podcaster, unfiltered human, and self-proclaimed Ambitious Hippie.

Her and husband Michael launched their first business, a brick-and-mortar insurance agency almost 10 years ago, 2 months after they got married with no money and no clients. That agency went on to be the fastest-growing agency in the state, ranking in the Top 50 of over 20,000 agencies year over. She then went on to start an online fitness business growing it to a multiple 6 figure business in less than 6 months, climbing to the top of a network marketing company,building an SEO business for Insurance Professionals and starting their sales training organization: Weaver Sales Academy to bridge the gap between corporate training and what it takes to be successful as an insurance professional.

In addition to hosting Ambitious Hippies, Courtney and Michael also host the top-rated and fastest-growing podcast for insurance professionals, The Insurance Buzz.

In 2021 after spending years chasing plastic trophies and external validation Courtney and Michael decided to make it a mission to not delay their dream life and start sharing with more high performers the importance of adventure and fun while building their empires.

In today's conversation, Courtney shares the journey she has taken to meet herself. Plus, we dive into our experiences with infertility, what our "cringe mountain" is, why the Ambitious Hippie movement is so important to Courtney, and much more.
