070: Difficult experiences don't have to define you, with Andy Ptacek Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever let a challenge or a difficult experience in your life start to define WHO you are and how you see yourself? Our guest today knows a thing or two about that, and she's now sharing her story in the bestselling book "New Again" in hopes of helping others find new perspective on life, and the inevitable challenges that come with it.

At the peak of the recession, Andy Ptacek co-founded a marketing company. 10 years and a thriving business later, Andy was diagnosed with brain cancer--what her first doctor called "IN-OPERABLE" brain cancer--at just 32 years old with 2 little boys at home.

Understandably, It rocked everything. First, in a scary way. Then, in a grateful way. The journey was agonizing at times, but perspective taught her that she wasn't damaged. The experience actually grew her self-awareness, her ability to love, her patience, her worldview, and her faith.

The "old Andy" had grown into something new –something better– and she believes we all are capable of this, even without a massively traumatic experience to shake us awake.

In this episode we talk about:

Choosing to pivot and why Andy started a business in the middle of a recession
What Andy's battle with brain cancer taught her about priorities and gratitude
Learning to be "new again" after a traumatic experience

068: Starting a business by fulfilling a need with costume designer Jessica McPhaul Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

The best business ideas are often born out of a desire to fulfill a need, and our guest today knows a little something about that.

Jessica McPhaul got her start making costumes for a small youth theatre in Arizona when she was 16. A few years later, she moved to LA to attend fashion school and has been working steadily in film/tv ever since...including some shows that you've probably heard of including Dancing with the Stars and House of Cards.

Her fashion background, combined with a gap that she noticed in the industry, led to her launching not one but TWO different companies - Heywood and Ringo (the custom suit company she launched with her husband) and Naked Rebellion (the women's intimate line with a shade of nude for every woman on the planet).

The stories behind these two companies are so cool and I can't wait for you to hear them! And my hope is that today's conversation will help get YOUR wheels turning, because there may just be a need that YOU could fulfill with your next big idea.

In this episode we talk about:

How Jessica's experiences working in fashion + costume design inspired the two businesses she started
The gap she noticed in the lingerie market that wasn't meeting the needs of real women
Using our purchasing power to support small business this holiday season!
