What if I told you the key to unlocking your business growth isn't more content, but a radical shift in your approach? In this episode, we're dismantling the old ways of selling as I share the new way to sell on social media.  Why is this episode so important? If you are still selling the old way of just posting about your products and trying to sell to everyone, then I guarantee that you will be left behind. The only way to successfully sell on social media today is to use a LOVE-LED™ approach, to lead with helping, to speak directly to the person that you want to and to be known more for the problems you solve than the products that you sell. I encourage you to do the scary thing and make this shift in how you show up on social media, because you’ve got something impo

Let’s be real: if you’re feeling stuck, hesitant, or too scared to take the next step, you’re probably caught up in a red light story. What’s a red light story? It’s the narrative you tell yourself about your business, your company, your products—and most importantly—yourself. These stories quietly creep in, convincing you to hit the brakes on your dreams. But here’s the truth: your success is waiting on the other side of those doubts.  In this podcast episode, I share something deeply special—an audio from a limited series I recorded for Optavia. Over the past year, we’ve had the privilege of working with so many incredible Optavia coaches, and this episode features my friend Kristen, one of their amazing leaders. What we talked about was too good not to share with you. Whether or not you’re with Optavia, this conversation about red light stories is a game-changer for anyone in our profession. So, are you ready to stop hitting the brakes and start building momentum? Listen to Learn 4:30 - The importance of m

Today, we’re diving into a powerful concept: the three types of momentum that drive real business growth—personal, team, and company momentum. When you learn how to leverage all three, you’re not just building a business—you’re laying the foundation for sustainable, long-term success. This is essential for anyone serious about thriving in this industry. I want this to shift how you think about momentum and growth because mastering what I’m sharing today isn’t optional—it’s critical. Let’s get to it and build something that lasts. Listen to Learn 1:23 - What personal momentum is, how it serves you and the ways that it can also lead to overwhelm and burnout 3:44 - Why team momentum is the real secret to long-term growth  6:17 - Some of the reasons that company momentum will start to slow and what you can do when this happens 7:17 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 7:58 - The two specific things that determine team momentum  10:56 - The simple formula for success i

Feeling stuck or frustrated in your network marketing business? Watching your team struggle and wondering if you’re doing something wrong? You’re not alone. I recently had a conversation with a past client, friend, and fellow leader who’s been feeling the exact same way. In this episode, I’m diving into a problem that’s plaguing in our industry: mismanaged expectations. We have a lot of unrealistic expectations, which are often fueled by hype marketing like I talked about in the last episode. When we measure our success by the wrong metrics or fail to celebrate the progress we have made, we risk burning out or even walking away from the dreams God placed on our hearts. But here’s the truth: the fact that you’re still here—listening, showing up, and leading—means you’re already successful. It’s time to have some tough but necessary conversations about what needs to change in our industry and within ourselves. I truly believe the best days for network marketing—and for you—are ahead. Let’s face these challenges

Let’s be real: social media is packed right now with what I like to call “hype marketing.” You know the posts—“biggest launch in the history of network marketing,” “a compensation plan like nothing you’ve ever seen.” It’s constant. But here’s the truth: these tactics aren’t just overused; they’re actually driving people away and undermining your business’s credibility. If you’ve been caught up in this approach—maybe because it’s what’s being taught or you’re following what everyone else is doing—I want you to know that it’s ok and you can start doing things differently. In this episode, I share the four reasons why hype marketing is hurting your business and I reveal what you can do to start building a lasting business with heart over hype! Listen to Learn 5:00 - How hype marketing sets bad expectations and has you marketing from a place of fear  8:10 - A real life example of what I’m seeing in the marketplace at this time 10:27 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its messag

As you may have heard, recently Beachbody was the latest company to announce that they are moving away from their current business model to affiliate only, and essentially eliminating the incomes of all of the leaders and coaches that have built businesses with them over the years. Today, I want to use Beachbody as an important case study of what we are seeing happening across the profession today, and ultimately, what’s wrong with our profession today. In this episode, you’ll hear what this situation means for our profession, and I share the key lessons that we can pull from it that demonstrates what we need to do better. This is an important conversation to be having, because if we don’t learn from this, I guarantee you that unfortunately we will continue to see more of this type of thing happen. While challenges lie ahead, I firmly believe our brightest days as an industry are still to come. We may face rough seas, but rest assured, we’ll be here to help you navigate through them.

Today I’m sharing another episode of our “My First $1k” interview series, where I’m interviewing students of our Love Serve Grow™ program that not only have hit their first $1,000 commission month using what we teach them, but they have since been able to create consistent $1,000 months. Like in our last interview, today’s guest Patty shares her story of being stuck before joining Love Serve Grow™, making $400 to $500 in commissions each month. She talks about the struggle she faced by not knowing what to do to reach consistent $1,000 months, but how everything changed once she became a part of Love Serve Grow™ (spoiler alert: Patty also maintained $1,000 months for 5 months straight after first reaching that level)!

I’m excited to introduce Renee, a dedicated Love Serve Grow™ student. Renee shares her transformative journey, detailing how, after 12 years in her profession—mostly with one company—she had only managed to achieve a $1,000 commission month only a few times, primarily during Black Friday sales. Before discovering Love Serve Grow™, Renee's average commission ranged from $500 to $700. Quite frankly, she felt stuck with the strategies taught by other training programs… In this episode, Renee discusses how Love Serve Grow™ gave her an authentic approach and helped her break through her previous income barriers. Not only did she achieve her first $1,000 month organically, but she also sustained this success for several months following our program. Stay tuned for the next episode, where anothe

And that’s trying to grow a team. Now I’m not telling you not to build a team. But if you’ve been in your business for a while, if you’re doing all the things that you’re supposed to be doing, and you’re still NOT earning $1k every month, then you need to acknowledge that you’re doing something wrong.  To help you with this, I’m going to present a very different way of thinking that may sound counterintuitive, but if you shift your mindset and practices based on what I share in this episode, you’ll soon be selling and serving your way to $1,000 months.

Today I’m sharing an interview with you that I recently did with one of our community members, and someone that has been a long-time listener and supporter of this podcast, Kristen Glass. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to be a leader, as this is something I’ve been exploring a lot on the podcast lately.

Kristen is somebody that I respect and admire, because she is someone that truly embodies being a LOVE-LED™ leader. Like what we teach our students to be inside Love Serve Grow™.
