Where would I start if today was day one of creating a brand new brand? How can you feature multiple services and offers under one brand without confusion? Is a personal brand under your own name always right for a new business? These are just a few of the brand-related questions we’re tackling in this installment of Kylie & Jenna. Talking branding is one of my favorite things to dig into, and this discussion features your questions plus a peek inside the Jenna Kutcher brand and how it’s evolving in this new season of my life.

Lisa Bilyeu and her husband Tom founded Quest Nutrition, ultimately selling it for a cool billion dollars. Lisa's story is one of what she thought her life would look like, versus what it does look like, versus what it is going to look like is constantly unfolding.  Lisa wrote her first book, Radical Confidence, so I can’t wait to discuss all things about becoming an author, what it means to have radical confidence, and a story from the pages of her book that really shook me to my core.

If the thought of dropping thousands just to START gives you hives, I don’t blame you. Stress city, if you ask me. Instead, I’ve pulled together 8 resources that will cover your marketing, invoicing, branding, graphics, systems, and legalities to get your business idea off the ground this month for less than $1500.  Actually, the total cost comes in under $1100 (with some wiggle room). It isn’t a small chunk of money by any means, but it’s definitely more palatable than coughing up $5000 before ever knowing what your profitability might be.

Before she became a Peloton instructor, motivational speaker, founder, and author, Tunde Oyeneyin had a lucrative beauty career. She left it behind to pursue the world of fitness as a Peloton instructor, though it wasn’t overnight success for Tunde. She didn’t nail her first Peloton audition… But Tunde didn’t give up.  SPEAK is an acronym that guides Tunde’s life and pushes her forward and upward through challenges and setbacks, always reaching for her best, most purpose-filled life. In this conversation, we talk about her career evolution, building confidence, and the five words that continue to guide her (and will guide you) to live her best life.

The undertones of “achieving balance” are more associated with perfection than reaching a realistic goal that gives us full, impactful, purpose driven lives. While the intention may have been good, the execution woke up something else in us. It’s like we all forgot that balance is a moment, not a lifetime. Let’s talk about this newer word going around, and in my opinion, a word that reaches far beyond the buzz of a buzzword and can actually be used throughout a lifetime— “integration.” What is integration, how does it beat balance, and what does it look like in our own lives? We’re going to get into all of the above, PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK: jennakutcher.com/book GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/integration

Nothing bad happens when women make more money. There’s nothing wrong with a woman building a business that scales her income and impact, despite what society makes us feel about wealth and earning more money than our male counterparts. Suneera Madhani shouts it from the rooftops to remind women that aspirations as female founders are valid and absolutely possible. So together, we’re digging into one of my favorite acronyms… CEO.  What’s the difference between a business owner or a founder and a CEO? How can you up-level your business and make more money, catapulting you into the 2% club with a million dollars in revenue? How can you overcome your fears of stepping into the leadership role you deserve to claim?  PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK: jennakutcher.com/book   GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/ceoschool

I’m in this season of life where I want to focus on the needle movers and prioritize projects that require less effort but still generate results – not just short term, but long term as well! That’s why in today’s episode I’m going to share something new that we experimented with last year, something I’ve coined “lazy launching”, with lazy being a GOOD thing. I’ll share how we generated over $50,000 in one week without a ton of work, how we created an evergreen campaign that makes us money while we sleep and why this method of launching might be smart for you if you’re in a busy season.

Now that I’m a mom of two, the mom-life-CEO-life juggle looks a lot like tossing several fragile plates in the air and hoping my husband and I can catch them before they shatter on the ground. Finding ways to parent mindfully through new baby days, toddler dynamics, and growing a business has been a learning experience for us all.  Avital Schreiber Levy’s tips and guidance for entrepreneurial parents are invaluable, and I’m absolutely going to be taking notes on this one. We’ll talk about the challenges facing parents today, how to navigate working from home as a business owner with little ones who are also at home, integrating mom life and work life, and how to overcome the overwhelm that can show up when parenting toddlers and small children.

Did you know that I used to say I wasn’t going to have kids? Before I inadvertently write 10k words on the whole story here (I already did this in my book!) I decided I wanted to *talk* with you about it. Will you join me for a chat? My podcast producer, Kylie, is helping me walk through the process of how I went from hiding my true desires (and fear) or parenthood behind a thin career veil… to finally allowing those desires to bleed through.  Now, I know this is definitely not everyone’s roadmap, but I do think it’s easy to want something bad enough that we try and teach ourselves to not want it— maybe even to despise it — just so we don’t get hurt. I hid a part of me behind my career, and turns out you can’t hide from yourself for long! And for that, I am so, SO grateful. Can’t wait to share more about these life lessons with you.

Digital learning has absolutely transformed my life over the past decade and has equipped me with knowledge that I truly believe has compounded as the success you now see.  Each course I have taken has given me so many takeaways and as a course creator myself, it helps me to truly understand what my students go through and how I can better facilitate their learnings in their own lives. But in this episode, I want to actually share my recent experience of taking an online course and a few simple strategies that helped me to follow through!  PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK: jennakutcher.com/book GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/oneweek

My mom has been on the Goal Digger Podcast before, but it’s been years since I’ve had the opportunity to sit down for a recorded version of our one on one chats about life, family, and beyond.

If you are curious about my mom’s parenting philosophies, bringing up compassionate and high achieving children, what it was like seeing her daughter (me!) becoming a mother, what she really thought about me quitting my job to go full-time entrepreneur, and my mom’s assessment of what I’m like behind the scenes, then hit play on this episode right now.  PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK: jennakutcher.com/book GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/mamasue

What does it mean to reinvent yourself? Though you might be quick to assume you need to scrap everything and start with a blank slate, I encourage you to pause and consider this: The best power of reinvention lies in leveraging everything you’ve ever done – the good, the bad, the ugly, the successes and failures. Reinvention literally taps into the very real (and often unappreciated and unarticulated) skills, insights and expertise you have gained along the way. So you don’t need to try to create a new personality from scratch to reinvent yourself.   In this episode, we’re covering the concept of reinvention – what it means, how to visualize and identify the new evolving version of you, and aligning your priorities to truly step into the reinvented version of you.   PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK: jennakutcher.com/book GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/reinvent

No matter where you look on social media, content creators are using their platforms to serve their audiences with the clothing, skincare, gadgets, foods, and other goods they love. And brands are seeing the true power of an influencer with a strong voice and dedicated following. Raissa Gerona was one of the first brand-side leaders of the influencer marketing movement, pitching her idea for an influencer trip to her new employer, Revolve, as a way to build buzz, engagement, and sales through social media. The idea was a runaway hit, and now influencers are a key element of Revolve’s marketing strategy. In this conversation, you’ll learn about the evolution of influencer marketing, advice for starting and growing your own business as an influencer, as well as how to leverage the power of this unique type of marketing for your own products.  PRE-ORDER MY FIRST BOOK: jennakutcher.com/book GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.co

The whole “people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime” saying sounds cheesy, but really when you break it down, there’s truth to it! If every relationship in our life was the exact same, we wouldn’t grow or be challenged and stretched by those who enter our lives, heck, if we kept every friendship through every walk of life, we wouldn’t have the time or energy to go deep.  Your childhood best friends serve a different purpose than your life partner, and your siblings offer different perspectives and company to you than, say, your work friends or peers. In this episode, you’ll learn the 5 kinds of relationships I think everyone should prioritize in their life! Let’s get into it, friends.
