I’m so excited to share today’s Extraordinary Women Radio interview with you with my good friend, Meghann Conter. Meghann and I are collaboration partners – we do strategic thinking together, make referrals to one another, cheer each other on and lean into each other when things aren’t working the way we’d like them to. And Meghann – I’m thrilled to say is on fire right now in her business and her life. She’s in the flow. She made some pretty big shifts in her life in the past year though – she had to let go of the things that weren’t serving her - the things, as she says, “that had to be left behind” in order to get to her BHAG – her big hairy audacious goal. Meghann is vulnerable in sharing her story today. Nine months ago, she felt called to leave alcohol behind – for her life, her relationships and for where she wanted to take her company. And when she made the decision – life shifted, her business shifted and she shifted. Her raw story of struggle opened the door to huge transformative expansion. I l

Today’s guest on Extraordinary Women is Dorie Clark, author of Entrepreneurial You, Stand Out and Reinventing You. After being on the talking circuit for her book Stand Out, speaking around the world on how to become a thought leader and recognized expert, Dorie had an epiphany that led to her next book, Entrepreneurial You. She realized that being a thought leader wasn't sufficient - you have to learn to monetize that high repute. While she still believes that it is essential in today's modern economy to build a brand as a recognized leader in our field so that we're not a commodity, she knew there was more to building a successful business. So she set out to talk to 50 leading entrepreneurs on the subject. What Dorie learned from those interviews, was there's not one way - people are succeeding in a lot of ways. The key, however, is that they have multiple income streams. The entrepreneurs that she spoke to had mastered the skill of managing multiple income streams, which provided resiliency in the downt

Today’s Extraordinary Women Radio guest is Gotham Gal and angel investor, Joanne Wilson. Joanne has a portfolio of over 90 companies, such as Lately (you might remember my episode a few months ago with founder Kate Bradley Chernis), Food52, Sweeten, Vengo, Nestio, Flip, Clutter, and Union Station. Joanne shared, “In general, I’m looking for really smart, scrappy founders that have tenacity, that are out of the box, and are survivors.” Joanne has had many careers before she found her way into angel investment, and she shares some of her reinvention stories in our interview today. She believes that necessity is not only the mother of invention but also of constant reinvention because as an individual, a company, or brand, you have to be able to think ahead to stay ahead of the curve. Sometimes, what you think of as a misfortune, like losing a job, is actually a blessing in disguise. Joanne co-founded the Women’s Entrepreneur Festival in 2011 which is a conference for a community of women entrepreneurs. While
