667: Show Up! No Matter Who's There, Show Up for Yourself Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

Keep showing up! Even when no one is there. Are you showing up just for others or are you showing up for your vision and yourself? Whether others are watching or not, the Universe sees you and knows that you. Show. Up. Be the example for yourself and for others in your commitment to your vision. Here, I share how a run in the park (and a missing truck) reminded me about the importance of showing up!

Show notes

On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, I share what I learned from listening to Ed Mylett's podcast about the value of doing just one more. One more rep, one more step, one more minute working on that project not only puts you way ahead of the competition in the long run, it gives you more confidence and a sense of accomplishment than you had the day before. So do it: Just. One. More.

Listen to how getting up earlier and committing to my accountability group with the Support is Sexy mastermind was my "just-one-more" moment.

663: Lesley Jane Seymour, Founder of Covey Club and Former Editor-in-Chief of 'More' Magazine, Tells How to Reinvent for Your Second Act Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

Lesley Jane Seymour is a legendary magazine editor, who has been editor-in-chief of some of the most well-known women's magazines in the world, including Redbook, Marie Claire and most recently More magazine. Full stop. And when More magazine closed up shop and folded in 2016, Lesley opened herself up to what might be next after a long, successful career in media -- an industry that was constantly changing.

Enter CoveyClub, of which Lesley is the founder. CoveyClub was created when hundreds of Lesely's loyal readers approached her on her personal social media channels, asking her to create something new for them. 627 followers took a 54-question survey that allowed Lesley to create a roadmap to the CoveyClub offerings.

CoveyClub is described as a virtual and IRL (in real life) club platform built by — and for — members and has generosity and "welcomeness" at its heart. All members believe that the more you give, the more you get. Hence the CoveyClub hashtag: #LearnGetConnect.

On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Lesley shares what it's been like to go from longtime employee to entrepreneur, how entrepreneurship pushes you to confront your vulnerabilities, why she was uncomfortable -- at first -- accepting support and what you need to do to reinvent for your next act.

661: Insider Secrets No One Ever Tells You About Startups from Cheryl Contee, Author of 'Mechanical Bull' and CEO of Do Big Things Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

Traditional startup advice doesn't always apply to female or minority founders. Nontraditional founders don't always have the same resources as other entrepreneurs -- but investors, business books, and blogs assume you do. They won't know you're the first person to go to college in your family. They won't know you don't have access to a "friends and family" funding round. In her new book, Mechanical Bull, serial entrepreneur Cheryl Contee identifies and helps you prepare for those speed bumps.

Cheryl Contee is an award-winning CEO and her latest entrepreneurial venture, Do Big Things, brings together a diverse team that uses new narrative and new tech like blockchain, AI, bots and machine learning to make the world a better place for everyone. Previously, Cheryl was the co-founder and CEO of Fission Strategy, which helped the world's leading non-profits, foundations and social enterprises design digital ecosystems that create change globally. She is also the co-founder of groundbreaking social marketing software Attentive.ly at Blackbaud, the first tech startup with a black female founder on board in history to be acquired by a NASDAQ-traded company.

Cheryl not only has receipt, she has unique insight into what it takes, and what women experience, when raising capital for a startup you believe in despite what sometimes clueless, sometimes insensitive investors think. And on this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Cheryl shares her journey building her startups and being in the room to pitch her ideas, why pivoting is inevitable and authentic relationships are crucial, and how mechanical bulls tell us a lot about gender inequities.

660: Commit, and Then Recommit, and Then Recommit to Recommit to Your Goals Jun 30, 2019

Show notes

It's that time, mid-year already, when we start to reflect (and probably beat ourselves up) about the things we said we were going to commit to doing at the start of this year but we have yet to even start.

It happens. What will separate you from the rest and get you to take the first step is that you have to commit to recommit, and you may have to do that again and again. Stumbling or never starting that goal isn't anything to be ashamed of. What matters is what you're going to do TODAY.

659: How to Build a Global Beauty Brand with Integrity with Longtime Curly Hair Expert and Entrepreneur Ouidad Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

"It's not about the money; it's about the customer."

Ouidad is a name synonymous with curly hair care. 30-plus years ago, however, she was a hairstylist from Beruit, Lebanon, who fought (literally in some cases!) to have people recognize the value and beauty of women with curly hair. In 1984, she became a pioneer in the hair care industry when she opened the first salon in the United States that was exclusively for curly hair. People told her she was crazy, what they didn't realized was she was determined.

Since then, Ouidad has created a trademarked cutting technique for curly air, opened hundreds of salons around the country, and has a line of beloved hair care products that are top-rated by her customers and by many beauty and hair editors. In this Throwback Thursday episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, she shares the value of integrity when building your brand and handling your business.
