Something on Your Mind?

Kim joined Govindh Jayaraman on the Paper Napkin Wisdom Podcast last week to discuss her journey finding comfortable in the uncomfortable, business ownership and her daily morning routine: 4:30 a.m., rescue dogs, reading, writing and silence.

Do you wake up at the crack of dawn, like Kim? We want to hear about your morning routines — how do you set yourself up for a productive day?

Watch the full episode now. Link in the comments.
New Happy Hour Hustle episode out now! Kim sits down with Meredith Klein, the woman behind the iconic hat and the Substack everyone in comms actually wants to read, @meredith.and.the.media. 

Kim and Meredith talk about personal branding, networking without the ick, why “believe it until you achieve it” beats “fake it till you make it,” and what it takes to really own your worth.

Meredith is a communications executive with nearly two decades of experience at some of the biggest names in the game: Walmart, Pinterest, and Jet.com, to name a few. She's the author of Meredith & The Media, a wildly popular Substack on the latest news, moves, and trends in media, featuring exclusive interviews with leading journalists on what's driving their coverage. She’s a PRWeek 40 Under 40 honoree and regular contributor to Inc. She’s the person in the room who actually knows everyone and makes sure everyone else knows each other too. Basically, if comms had a connector-in-chief, it would be her. 

Grab a martini (with extra olives) and get ready for some F-bomb filled wisdom. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and watch the whole episode on Youtube!

The way you show up at work shapes how people remember you.

Last month, @alyshiahull joined @bodespeaks on Happy Hour Hustle to talk about what workplace authenticity really means. Alyshia is a New York-based freelance journalist who writes for Business Insider, Fast Company, USA Today, Inc., and Entrepreneur. If you are ready to bring your authentic self to work, episode #134 is for you. 

Listen to Happy Hour Hustle on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube. Link in bio.
The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of @bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to @smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.
