Transcript
- 0:01Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
- 0:05helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
- 0:09flow without sacrificing results.
- 0:11Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
- 0:15according to your human design.
- 0:17I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:22Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
- 0:25I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I am so happy to be here, not by myself today,
- 0:30but with my good friend, Jess Burgio.
- 0:33Jess is, I'm honestly, I'm going to deviate from the traditional
- 0:37bio, and I'm going to talk about what I know about Jess.
- 0:40Jess is one of those people that I creeped for a long time on Instagram.
- 0:43I watched her, I saw her, the way that she engaged with people, the way that
- 0:48she showed up, and I was drawn to her.
- 0:50I think that she's a great example of what being magnetic is, where it's
- 0:54not so much that you're necessarily investing thousands of dollars
- 0:58with people off of one post, but it was just like, I want to know her.
- 1:02I want to get to know her.
- 1:04And then I had a ticket for something, and I offered it to Jess because it was an
- 1:08event in her town and we got to meet for the first time right there at that event.
- 1:12And now here we are, I've been on her show.
- 1:14She has an amazing podcast called Unscripted, which is incredible.
- 1:18She has the most amazing guests, and she's one of the best interviewers
- 1:21that I've heard in a really long time.
- 1:23I love, love, love her show and I love her energy.
- 1:26She's a community builder.
- 1:27She's a former stylist and salon owner.
- 1:30She has this wealth of experience and I think is just this amazing example
- 1:35of what someone does when they're just determined to succeed and they're willing
- 1:40to put in the work to see how every step unfolds along the way, and just
- 1:46remaining dedicated and really driven.
- 1:49So Jess, welcome to the show.
- 1:52Oh my gosh.
- 1:53Thank you.
- 1:54What a beautiful introduction.
- 1:55I love that so much.
- 1:56Could you write all that down?
- 1:57And that will be my new intro.
- 1:59Well, tell everybody what I didn't tell them.
- 2:02Introduce yourself, let listeners know a little bit
- 2:04about you that I left out there.
- 2:06Well, I am a self proclaimed high energy hype girl.
- 2:09Like she said, there's something that I naturally am gifted with, which
- 2:13is bringing people into my world.
- 2:15Sometimes it doesn't always bring people in, and hopefully I'm learning now that
- 2:19sometimes it pushes the people away that aren't meant to be in your world.
- 2:22So I just love a good vibe.
- 2:24I love creating a good vibe.
- 2:25It's why I loved and thrived in the salon industry for many, many years.
- 2:29I think.
- 2:29And once I met Nicole, I got to learn a little bit more about why that
- 2:33was possible through human design.
- 2:34And it's one of the things I know we're going to dive into, but I'm a mom.
- 2:37I have a almost 13 year old who's in sixth grade.
- 2:39That's been interesting to navigate and has thrown my life
- 2:41for a curve ball, for sure.
- 2:43I now do have a podcast.
- 2:44Yeah, it's called Unscripted.
- 2:46I've been doing the podcast for almost four years now.
- 2:48We just hit our 300th episode.
- 2:50And I've learned so much just about myself and about commitment and
- 2:53consistency through the podcast, which I tell people that I think I found
- 2:57my voice through podcasting and the ability to connect with so many people
- 3:00at such a high level in a very focused way, has literally changed my life.
- 3:05And so that will be the next book, it's my first announcement.
- 3:07I was talking to Jake about, I want to write a book around how
- 3:10a podcast can change your life.
- 3:11But I get the honor of coaching other women in the entrepreneurial space
- 3:15who are usually at some sort of a pivot in their life or career where
- 3:19they're looking to make a change.
- 3:20So I have a lot of people moving from corporate into the coaching
- 3:23space, people who maybe have tried entrepreneurship in the past, but
- 3:26didn't have a clear strategy or plan.
- 3:28Didn't really know how their skill sets or soft skills fit into
- 3:31potentially what they wanted to do.
- 3:32And so I get to play in that world of helping people figure
- 3:35things out and take action.
- 3:37So that's what we've been up to over here.
- 3:39I love that.
- 3:40And I love the way that you approach things.
- 3:42There is such an open hearted perspective and way that you
- 3:45approach life and approach business.
- 3:48And I do want to say, because this is a human design show, Jess is actually
- 3:51a really rare human design type.
- 3:53She's a 4/1 emotional projector, which projectors are already 20%.
- 3:59Then we cut that in half by making you emotional.
- 4:01And then we go and add the 4/1, which the 4/1 profile is the most rare of profiles.
- 4:07Means that you have a fixed fate.
- 4:08And this is one of the things, when I see people living their design, even
- 4:12without knowing that they're doing it.
- 4:14That feeling like you're on a track, you may not know where it's going, but you
- 4:19trust the track and you trust yourself.
- 4:22That is everything about a 4/1.
- 4:25You can't be pulled on somebody else's journey.
- 4:28It's your journey.
- 4:29And that journey is you discovering yourself, trusting yourself,
- 4:34and it can be interesting.
- 4:37And then you have an open G Center, which through the different environments
- 4:41that you're in, through the people that you meet, you're picking
- 4:45up, do I belong here or don't I?
- 4:46Is this my place?
- 4:47Is this not, are these my people?
- 4:49Are they not?
- 4:50And the more you're in community with the people that are right for
- 4:53you, the more your path unfolds.
- 4:55That's where your direction comes from.
- 4:58So, it's so interesting.
- 5:00I love to call out whatever my guests are on the show.
- 5:02I'm like, let everybody know what your design is.
- 5:05Yeah.
- 5:05And I always take extra notes when you are talking about me, because I always
- 5:08hear something that I didn't hear the last time, or that I'd forgotten.
- 5:11And so it's these, this is literally one of the most powerful things.
- 5:15Obviously, if you're listening to this podcast, you're
- 5:16interested in human design.
- 5:17I would imagine.
- 5:18But there's so much depth to what you can continue to learn about yourself.
- 5:21In different seasons of your life, different things will land differently.
- 5:24And so every single time I talk to Nicole, I learned something different,
- 5:27or I'm reminded of something, or something makes more sense in my
- 5:30life that didn't make sense before.
- 5:33So I'm a huge fan of your work and how you approach things.
- 5:36And for always bringing it back to the things about us that
- 5:38make us uniquely different.
- 5:40Because a lot of people are searching for that.
- 5:42And so this is such a beautiful way to find that in you.
- 5:45Thank you.
- 5:45And I think there's a common misconception with human design that you need to
- 5:49be lost to go and to have to find your path, but it's the little clues.
- 5:53It's the things that tell you I know where I'm going, but if I just had this
- 5:56little bit of information, that one little thing can make so much click
- 6:00that could help you figure out if that decision, that thing that's been on
- 6:03your heart, that maybe you've been denying and you feel the pull toward.
- 6:08That one thing, like hearing that your conscious sun is gate 37 and it has to do
- 6:12with community, and that your fixed fate is going to have to do with community,
- 6:16and friendship, and family, that might help you deny or accept an offer, an
- 6:22invitation, a piece of recognition that comes to you and helps you either
- 6:26take a step or walk away from it.
- 6:28So I appreciate you saying that, and I'm happy that you get that experience
- 6:32when I talk about human design.
- 6:33It's always my hope.
- 6:34But I want to talk to you about podcasting.
- 6:37And when I have friends on particularly, I think that there's a great benefit
- 6:42to people hearing a conversation that we would have even if we didn't
- 6:46have microphones in front of us.
- 6:48And I think that you and I both have grown our business, I think
- 6:51we have that in common where the podcast changed everything.
- 6:55The podcast, for me, gave me focus.
- 6:58It gave me a little playground for me to test and workshop.
- 7:04Like a gym.
- 7:05I got to work out my message.
- 7:06I got to work out my brand.
- 7:09I can get on stage now and not even think twice.
- 7:12If I really were like blocked and was like, I don't know what I'm going to say.
- 7:15If someone went to go pull me up out of an audience and say, do you have 10 minutes?
- 7:19We need you to fill.
- 7:20If I was totally blocked, I could go back and just look at podcast episodes.
- 7:24And I could say, I've carefully thought through 280 ideas
- 7:31that I have to choose from.
- 7:32I have this bank of material that is so valuable in so many ways.
- 7:38Can you talk about your experience with podcasting and what
- 7:43it's done for your business?
- 7:45Hmm.
- 7:46There's so much there.
- 7:47I agree with you on now having a arsenal of conversations
- 7:51that I can bring to the table.
- 7:53And that's, what's always so fun and interesting when people have
- 7:55me on their show of like, what do you want to deep dive into?
- 7:57I'm like, listen, I've had just about every conversation you could
- 8:00possibly think of between the 300 plus episodes I've done for my own
- 8:04show, probably another hundred.
- 8:05I've been a guest on someone else's show.
- 8:07And then 20 plus years of having all varieties of clients in my chairs at
- 8:11the salon, you know how it is when you sit down with somebody to get your hair
- 8:14done, you tend to share or overshare.
- 8:16And so, that is true for me as well.
- 8:19I feel so much more rooted in my message.
- 8:21I'm able to convey a message from start to finish much more concisely than
- 8:24I ever was before I had a podcast.
- 8:27I've refined how I approach conversations, I've studied my own tape, if you will,
- 8:31and many other interviewers that I love of how do I become better at what I'm doing?
- 8:36And everything's a rep.
- 8:37And like you said, it's a playground to discover, what do I love talking about?
- 8:40What gets me excited to sit down in front of the microphone?
- 8:43Who do I want to have these conversations with and being
- 8:45able to steer the ship, right?
- 8:47Knowing that I'm a projector.
- 8:48There's just things that we know, and we have these intuitive nudges
- 8:51that like, I don't know how I know this, but I know this and I
- 8:53know energy and I can read people.
- 8:55And so when I vibe with somebody, we have really great episodes and
- 8:58it took me about two years before I actually got the guts up to start the
- 9:02podcast because I was like, everybody else, am I going to be consistent?
- 9:05Am I going to be able to do this?
- 9:07Every week for forever.
- 9:08Cause there's really no end date.
- 9:10It's not like a six week gym challenge.
- 9:11But you can, there are actually no rules.
- 9:14So if you are someone who's thinking about starting a podcast and think,
- 9:17Oh, well, there's no end date I could never, you can end it whenever you want.
- 9:20You can take a break whenever you want.
- 9:22You can put out one episode a year if you want.
- 9:24You can use the platform, however you see fit.
- 9:28Obviously quantity is just as important as quality these days,
- 9:31but the quantity will help you get the reps in to develop your style.
- 9:35Do you love doing solo episodes?
- 9:36Do you love being funny?
- 9:37Do you want to be educational?
- 9:38Do you want to be known for a specific topic?
- 9:41And so that's what you can play with.
- 9:42And I had an agency for a while where this is exactly what we did.
- 9:45We helped other people start and launch their podcasts.
- 9:47And I got to see myself come through in their shoes many times with the
- 9:50fear of will I have enough content?
- 9:53Will I have enough to say?
- 9:54And if you're living your life, you will have plenty to say.
- 9:57And you at times just have to be brave enough to share what you're
- 10:00going through and document it in real time, instead of perhaps waiting
- 10:04until you figured something out.
- 10:06That's why social media is so popular is because the people who
- 10:08are willing to document the process of something is far more exciting
- 10:11than watching someone's after story.
- 10:12We want to be taken along on the ride, and you can do that with a podcast.
- 10:16And aside from that, I've made so many connections with friends because if you
- 10:20think about how much time you get with one person on a podcast, It's probably a lot
- 10:25more than you're getting with a variety of people that you love in your life.
- 10:27You might not get one hour of undivided attention with your best friend.
- 10:31And here I'm getting one hour of undivided attention from a guest
- 10:35that I probably couldn't even afford to do a coaching program with if
- 10:38really we put that on the table.
- 10:40So when I realized it was going to give me access to people I might
- 10:43not otherwise ever have a chance to say even hello to, I was all in.
- 10:47Because as someone who is just naturally curious, I call myself a nosy bitch,
- 10:51but somebody very nicely said, no, you're just a very curious person.
- 10:54I said, I like that better.
- 10:54That sounds more professional.
- 10:56I thought that's what makes me such a good interviewer is because I'm
- 11:00not afraid to ask the hard questions.
- 11:02I'm constantly thinking of questions to ask people.
- 11:05I'm my mom now, I'm the person that says hello to people in the elevator.
- 11:08I annoyingly will compliment somebody in the grocery store line, or if
- 11:12someone seems like they're in a bad mood, I'll try to make them laugh.
- 11:15And so all of those soft skills that you might be someone listening, thinking, I do
- 11:19that, that would make me a good podcaster?
- 11:21Those are the little things that can help you be just a little bit different
- 11:25than anybody else who might have a show.
- 11:27And that's another thing that's kind of the problem is, there's
- 11:30this new era of, everybody's doing that now, there's no room for me.
- 11:33Or those people only blew up on Instagram or podcasting because
- 11:36they've been doing it for 10 years.
- 11:38Well, I was a hairdresser.
- 11:40How many hairdressers are there in the world?
- 11:41And nobody, when I went to beauty school said, you shouldn't go to beauty school.
- 11:44There's already enough hairdressers in the world.
- 11:46Nobody was talking like that back then.
- 11:48Nobody says you shouldn't go be a doctor.
- 11:50There's too many doctors in the world.
- 11:52And so it's interesting how in the online space.
- 11:54We feel like everything's oversaturated because we're inundated with so much
- 11:58shit, but at the end of the day, like I said earlier, you can be for
- 12:02somebody or you cannot be for somebody.
- 12:04And so when you choose a platform like podcasting, you really can go
- 12:08all in on who you are and develop a brand as you create conversation.
- 12:12And so, I started off actually with a podcast called the
- 12:15beauty inspires beauty podcast.
- 12:16Where during COVID and my salon was closed, I started interviewing
- 12:20my friends in the beauty industry, asking them how they were doing.
- 12:22Are you okay?
- 12:23What's happening in your world?
- 12:24How are you coping with all of this?
- 12:26And then the conversation kind of ended there and we moved into, and
- 12:30by the way, you're super successful.
- 12:31How did that happen?
- 12:32How did you get into the industry?
- 12:34What are you doing now to diversify your income?
- 12:36What would you have done differently when you started?
- 12:38And that's where I was like, wait a second.
- 12:40I'm really good at this.
- 12:41I actually really like this.
- 12:42And now I want to talk to more than just hairdressers.
- 12:44Oh, shoot.
- 12:45Have I pigeonholed myself into the podcast being called beauty inspires beauty.
- 12:49Now I could have taken it one way and stayed talking only to beauty
- 12:53professionals, which are entrepreneurs.
- 12:55Or what I wanted to do was expand my reach, still include the beauty
- 12:58industry, but talk to more early stage entrepreneurs about how they could
- 13:01develop a personal brand, whether it be through podcasting or just starting to put
- 13:04themselves out there in a different way.
- 13:06Because in my background, 25 years ago, we didn't have social media.
- 13:09We barely knew how to use the internet for promotion.
- 13:12I did guerrilla marketing.
- 13:13I used to get all dolled up, go to Nordstrom's, pass out my cards.
- 13:16That's how I built my business was from referrals and guerrilla
- 13:18marketing, not from social media.
- 13:20And so when people are coming into the space now, they're
- 13:23like, how do I do all of this?
- 13:24There's a lot of overwhelming stuff when it comes to podcasting, but it's
- 13:26actually more simple than you think.
- 13:28And I have a resource.
- 13:30I know Nicole can help people with podcasting too, but there's a lot
- 13:32of great resources that can help you get out of overwhelm and into action.
- 13:36But, all that to say, yeah, podcasting has changed the trajectory of how I'm able to
- 13:42show up and how I'm able to reach people.
- 13:43Because with a brick and mortar space, with a one to one in a location, I
- 13:48couldn't speak to a lot of people.
- 13:50I could impact the small group of people that I got to see in the
- 13:52daily and those around me, but I didn't have a big enough reach.
- 13:55And I knew that where I was at in my life and business, I wanted to
- 13:58create more impact in a bigger way.
- 14:00And the podcast is giving me that opportunity.
- 14:03Yeah.
- 14:04And I think one of the things that people really discount is, of course there's
- 14:08that question, will I have enough content?
- 14:10Will I have something to say for weeks and weeks and weeks on end?
- 14:13Because I have people who come to me for human design and
- 14:15they're like, I'm a reflector.
- 14:17Can I have a podcast?
- 14:18Am I going to have the energy for it all the time?
- 14:22And I'm like, it's all in the way that you structure it.
- 14:24I had a manifestor who is interested in starting a podcast, but she's like, I
- 14:28hate everything that I do eventually.
- 14:31And I'm like, well, you're a manifestor.
- 14:32That's just normal for you.
- 14:33You're going to say, this makes me sick.
- 14:35I don't want to do this anymore.
- 14:37But I was like, what about the concept of seasons?
- 14:40Recognize where you're putting up a blocker.
- 14:42Do you want it or not?
- 14:44Cause if you don't want it, that's a different story, but if you want it and
- 14:47you're afraid, it's really the fear that I think puts up the blockers where your
- 14:52brain starts to say, that sounds scary.
- 14:54That sounds confronting.
- 14:56I'm afraid of the judgment.
- 14:58I'm afraid of the, who does she think she is kind of thing,
- 15:01and all of the excuses come up.
- 15:02What if we run out of content?
- 15:04What if it doesn't grow?
- 15:06What if it just takes up a lot of our time?
- 15:08What if I hate it after six months?
- 15:09What if I hate it after six weeks?
- 15:11Most podcasts don't make it past 20 episodes, which is a staggering statistic.
- 15:17So here's the thing that a lot of people don't understand, I don't think,
- 15:20is that if you hang out in the game, And you have a good quality podcast.
- 15:27I'm not talking like crazy production or anything like that.
- 15:31If you do that and you hang for a while, you will already be
- 15:36toward the front of the pack.
- 15:37You just end up there because everybody else falls off the race.
- 15:41So if you're just willing to put in the work, which that was another thing
- 15:45that I wanted to talk to you about that I think could benefit everybody
- 15:48here, particularly the people who are at that early middle stage of their
- 15:52business, the value of the long game.
- 15:56If you're looking for a podcast, or your offer, or your launches, or whatever
- 16:02to pay off in four to six weeks, you're probably going to be disappointed.
- 16:10And I know you haven't had this, like you've had a lot of different
- 16:14businesses, you've tried a lot of different things, but what is
- 16:18your perspective on the long game?
- 16:20Because I think it's also interesting from a projector's standpoint where I
- 16:24think there's a common misconception that projectors don't have energy.
- 16:27I should say that Jess has three motor centers defined, so you
- 16:30are a highly energetic projector.
- 16:33But from this projector's perspective where you don't have sustainable
- 16:37energy is really the thing.
- 16:39You need to take those breaks.
- 16:41What is your perspective on playing the long game and allowing things to build?
- 16:45Because you've done that, I think, with relationships.
- 16:48You've seen things and said, that's an opportunity.
- 16:52And then it doesn't seem like you've expected instant results,
- 16:55and you've stayed with them.
- 16:57Do I have that right as far as your experience with that?
- 17:01Oh yeah.
- 17:02And nobody told me, just like maybe no one's told you until this very
- 17:05moment that nothing happens overnight.
- 17:08And I think, fortunately and unfortunately my hair business
- 17:11did kind of happen overnight.
- 17:12And so I did have a warped sense of things being able to be easier than
- 17:16they were, but if I look back over my career, it was a long game, yes, but
- 17:21it was a long game of being consistent and being available and doing the work.
- 17:26And I didn't get into the beauty industry to think, if this doesn't
- 17:29work out in a couple of weeks, I'm not going to do it anymore.
- 17:31If this fails, then I'm not going to keep doing this.
- 17:34I never thought that once, but for some reason, now we have this perceived notion
- 17:38that things shouldn't take very long.
- 17:40And if I don't have sold out launches, or if I don't have a lot of people
- 17:43downloading my podcast, what's the point?
- 17:45And again, I coach people that have podcasts through that sticky situation,
- 17:49because even if you can get past 20 episodes, you're going to be comparing
- 17:53yourself to other people's downloads and how many DMs they get, or how many
- 17:57re shares they're getting on their podcast, or how many reviews someone
- 18:00else has that you don't have yet.
- 18:02And I say to people, did you get into podcasting for the short game?
- 18:06You have to be in it for the long game.
- 18:08You will not go viral with a podcast.
- 18:10If you want things to be quick and overnight, you better get good at
- 18:12making TikTok reels and good at really solid hooks with calls to action.
- 18:16And there are platforms where things can happen overnight, but will you be
- 18:20ready for it is always my question.
- 18:22What are you setting yourself up for?
- 18:23And so I think it takes some time to figure out where you fit in,
- 18:27in the podcast space, but also in maybe your entrepreneurial journey.
- 18:31Because if at the end of the day, you're just trying to make some money,
- 18:34we can make money doing anything.
- 18:36We can make money doing anything.
- 18:37And right now there's a whole lot less work involved in going to just get a job.
- 18:41A lot of these companies pay decently 20, 30 bucks an hour.
- 18:44You've got benefits, you've got all sorts of support and structure and
- 18:47you're told where to be and how to do it.
- 18:49And there's nothing you got to figure out.
- 18:51You just got to check that box and you get that paycheck.
- 18:53And I want to just remind people of that because it is a gift
- 18:56to choose entrepreneurship.
- 18:58No, one's making you do this.
- 19:00And so I see a lot of people that sit in that, Oh, this is so hard.
- 19:03I said, well, choose a different hard then.
- 19:05It might be hard to tell everybody you work at Chick fil A at 35 years old.
- 19:08I don't know, is that too hard for you?
- 19:10What would be harder?
- 19:11What would make you feel aligned in your life and your business,
- 19:14putting everything you have into it or just toe dipping into something?
- 19:17I can tell when someone's fully invested in something and when they're not.
- 19:21They get results or they don't.
- 19:22They're happy with the little bit of results or they're not.
- 19:25People that always find something wrong, or things don't happen fast enough are
- 19:30the ones that are actually not probably putting enough effort into something.
- 19:33Because if you put your whole heart into something, if you worked as hard as you
- 19:36possibly know, you could, if you did all the things that a coach told you to
- 19:39do, or a framework of something, and it doesn't work, that type of person is going
- 19:44to be like, I did everything possible.
- 19:45Let me tweak this, take whatever little data I got from this
- 19:48experience and make it better.
- 19:50And they keep going because they have a vision and a why for what they're doing.
- 19:54And I think with a podcast, having a vision and a why
- 19:56for me was really important.
- 19:58And I actually recorded over 25 episodes in person with video before
- 20:03I even launched my show, because I wanted to prove to myself that I
- 20:05could do this podcast before I put it out into the world, because I'm
- 20:08not somebody who likes to say, I'm going to do something and not do it.
- 20:11I do care what people think, and my reputation is my brand.
- 20:15And I think a lot of people forget that.
- 20:17And it's not to say that you can't say you're going to
- 20:18do something and not do it.
- 20:20We can all change our mind and that's fine.
- 20:22And I learned that the hard way when I chose to step away from the beauty
- 20:25industry, because I had over a book of 200 clients and I owned a salon.
- 20:30So I had employees and people that worked for me and looked
- 20:32up to me and that I mentored.
- 20:33And do you think that all 220 of those people were happy about my decision
- 20:38to step into a different field?
- 20:39Absolutely not.
- 20:41So talk about not even getting the support that you wanted.
- 20:44It came in the form of, oh, that's so exciting, but who's going to do my hair?
- 20:47What about me?
- 20:49So when I started asking myself, what about me?
- 20:52What do you want?
- 20:53That's when things started to become a little bit easier.
- 20:55And that's when I got to dig my feet in and be like, yeah, what about you?
- 20:58When are you going to put your wants, needs, desires first and create
- 21:03something that feels aligned for you?
- 21:05I didn't know how podcasting was going to feel.
- 21:07I didn't know how it was going to affect my life.
- 21:09I had hopes that it would create opportunity, but that was the only
- 21:13thing I really had an expectation on is I'm going to try this podcast
- 21:17and see if I can't create some sort of opportunities out of it.
- 21:20And It's opened up so many doors because I've put myself in rooms to learn
- 21:25from a variety of different people who do different things in business.
- 21:27While the first 20 years, I stayed around all hairdressers only learning
- 21:31from one particular industry.
- 21:33So I didn't get to learn all of those things.
- 21:35And again, back to your question of, what are my thoughts on the long game?
- 21:39In this day and age, if you are not committed to something fully, with the
- 21:42intention of playing the long game, choose an easier route, choose something
- 21:47that doesn't require as much commitment.
- 21:49Because the results will speak from the fact that you're just not as
- 21:51committed as you might think you are.
- 21:53And you said earlier about fear being a factor of why people don't start.
- 21:56I do think it's fear of what people think, but I also think it's a fear of overwhelm,
- 22:03of how much work it's going to take.
- 22:06Because it is a lot of work.
- 22:07Podcasting is a lot of mental energy.
- 22:09It's a lot of forethought into creating valuable content that's going
- 22:13to land with your potential client.
- 22:14If that's what you're using your podcast for, like a
- 22:16marketing piece of your business.
- 22:18But that's the fun part is you get to discover those things along the
- 22:21way by putting yourself out there.
- 22:23So for the longest time, I still did hair while I funded my side hustle
- 22:26business, which was the podcast.
- 22:28Well, then when the podcast started creating an awareness that I even
- 22:31existed, creative visibility for me.
- 22:33I was able to then tease out offers of what would you guys want from me?
- 22:37A retreat?
- 22:37Would you like one to one coaching?
- 22:39So I launched my first group coaching program for hairdressers.
- 22:43It was the six figure stylist course.
- 22:45And because I chose a path, I chose a launch.
- 22:48I was able to bring a couple people into my world.
- 22:51Three to be exact.
- 22:52And then I had three or four other people come around the back door because
- 22:56they saw I had put myself out there.
- 22:57And say things to me like, I already make six figures, Jess, would you
- 23:02be able to coach me on X, Y, or Z?
- 23:04And that's when I started to really realize the mindset around my industry
- 23:08of what does six figures mean?
- 23:10And I was like, what does six figures mean to you?
- 23:12Is it literally 100, 000?
- 23:14Or do you make 999, 000?
- 23:18And I started to see people shift and think differently, cause in
- 23:20their head, six figures meant I hit 100, 000 in my business.
- 23:24And so it was fun to dig into that mindset around the glass
- 23:27ceiling for us in this industry.
- 23:28You could make more, you could do more, you could have more.
- 23:31What do you want?
- 23:32Who are you?
- 23:32And it just led me into this curiosity, because for the longest
- 23:35time I was in that box, I thought I had hit the glass ceiling.
- 23:38I've proven to everybody that I could be a successful hairdresser.
- 23:41Because let me tell you, when I was 19 years old, deciding to go
- 23:43to beauty school, everybody was like, that's not a real career.
- 23:45You need to get a real job.
- 23:47But 20 years later, I quote unquote, prove them all wrong, but realize as I sat
- 23:51making just shy of 200, 000, is this it?
- 23:54Is this as good as it can be?
- 23:55Am I just going to sit here and for the next 20 years be okay with A, only
- 23:59making this amount of money, B, never having tried to do anything else and
- 24:03put myself out there in a different way, and C, the amount that I was
- 24:06working, I was so much away from my son.
- 24:09I wanted to explore creating opportunities for myself that would
- 24:12allow for me to have flexibility that was different than a brick and mortar.
- 24:16And so to say that I was super invested in playing the long game was full, because
- 24:19my why was to be home and available during the times of day that my son needed me.
- 24:24And I really couldn't do that even with my owning a salon.
- 24:27So there's a lot of levels to that, but I think ultimately the question
- 24:31is, what legacy do you want to try to create while you're still here
- 24:35so that you can actually enjoy it?
- 24:36I had a conversation yesterday with a woman who's in her fifties.
- 24:38She's got a multimillion dollar business.
- 24:40They make spray tanning products, and all the devices that go
- 24:43with it, and the machinery.
- 24:44And she doesn't need a podcast, but she loves getting into rooms.
- 24:48She loves networking.
- 24:49She loves building community.
- 24:51And she wants to expand the business even more.
- 24:53And she's recently moved from LA to Phoenix.
- 24:55And that's how I met her at one of the Laurie Harder's
- 24:57girlfriends and business events.
- 24:59And we connected the other day cause she saw me post something about podcasting.
- 25:02And so she said, hey, I'm talking to a few other producers about starting my show.
- 25:06I would love to pick your brain.
- 25:07I said, sure, no problem.
- 25:08So we get on a call yesterday.
- 25:09We talked for about an hour and there was all those things we just talked
- 25:12about, that fear of I'm not really sure exactly what I want to talk about.
- 25:15I do think it's focused on the beauty industry, And then I started asking
- 25:18her questions and she's like, I know so much about this industry and
- 25:21I've built this and I've done that.
- 25:22And so, long story long, I said, here's your homework.
- 25:25I want you to make a list of all of the things that you've accomplished
- 25:27in your life, big or small, all the hardships you've pushed through, all
- 25:30the things that you've managed to figure out that haven't taken you
- 25:32down or taken your business under.
- 25:34And then I want you to create a list of all of the fun guests
- 25:37you'd want to have on your show.
- 25:39Who would you want to bring in from the industry that could provide value?
- 25:42And at the end of it, we discovered she did really want
- 25:44to talk about the industry.
- 25:45She wanted to be connected to more beauty professionals.
- 25:48The irony is, what is my background?
- 25:5020 years in the beauty industry.
- 25:52So then the conversation led to her needing a VP of marketing,
- 25:55her needing help for this.
- 25:57She kept going, well, you'd be really good at this.
- 25:59You could help me with this.
- 26:00You could do this with me and my business.
- 26:02And fun fact too, is I'm a two on the Enneagram, which is a supportive helper.
- 26:06So I love this role of helping people figure things out while also being.
- 26:10Of use.
- 26:11So it was just an interesting conversation that whatever comes from it, I don't know,
- 26:15but we were able to give her some clarity that yes, a podcast would be really fun
- 26:18for her because like I said earlier, we either have done something that we
- 26:22can then share with the world to sell our products or services or knowledge.
- 26:25You've either created something by doing it, or like me, you want to
- 26:30do something while you're creating, which is the podcast and it's
- 26:33become what I'm now known for.
- 26:34So it was just a cool conversation to get to have with her.
- 26:37And then I woke up to a text this morning saying, thank you so much for sharing
- 26:40your time with me and giving some insight and shifting my perspective on this.
- 26:43I definitely do want to start a podcast.
- 26:45And I definitely know I need some support and help.
- 26:47Let's talk some more.
- 26:48So it was cool.
- 26:49And if I hadn't been chatting about it on Instagram, if I hadn't been sharing
- 26:52it, if I hadn't put myself in that room, I would have never met this woman.
- 26:56So it's crazy the long game that can come from building the relationships,
- 27:00from continuously talking about something that lights you up and from just inviting
- 27:03people in to have a conversation with you.
- 27:06I want to call one thing out there, by the way, those were invitations, you're
- 27:10a projector, she was inviting you.
- 27:11She was recognizing you.
- 27:12That's what happens with projectors.
- 27:14You don't have to be selling yourself to be recognized.
- 27:17You don't have to be like, hey, I do this.
- 27:19And then someone recognizes you and invites you.
- 27:22Usually it's you being who you are and people are like, I
- 27:26think you can help me with this.
- 27:28I think you're really good at that.
- 27:29That's just how it works.
- 27:30So for all the projectors listening, that's what it looks like.
- 27:33It doesn't always look like someone calling you and being like, I
- 27:36want to invite you to this thing.
- 27:38It's you being recognized for being special in your way and your
- 27:43unique perspective, wisdom that you have to offer, your experience.
- 27:48Now, you get to decide whether those invitations are right for you.
- 27:51And especially as a 4/1, you're going to say, that's
- 27:54not my path or that is my path.
- 27:55That's how the game works.
- 27:57So I just wanted to call that out since that was there staring me in the face
- 28:01and I can't ignore those type of things, but with all of that said about the long
- 28:06game for podcasting, I want to call out that the long game doesn't have to be
- 28:11this horrible uphill sludge of doing tech work and slaving over things.
- 28:18It seems like you have picked your pieces that you want to grow, that
- 28:22you want to play the long game with.
- 28:24And this is something that I want listeners to take away.
- 28:27They think they need to do everything.
- 28:29And people are doing a lot of things not very well.
- 28:32They're playing a short game with a lot of things, except like Instagram.
- 28:36So they'll show up on Instagram and they'll do their thing.
- 28:39They're not doing all the other pieces around it that are helping to drive people
- 28:44to it and building real relationship.
- 28:46And I wanted to call out that you have played the long game
- 28:49with key pieces of your business.
- 28:52I think, similarly to me in that way, where there are things that
- 28:56we said, these are my avenues.
- 28:58This is how I want to grow my business.
- 28:59And for you, you've been diligent and dedicated to relationship building and
- 29:05building real strong connections with people, getting into the right rooms,
- 29:10making connections with strategic partners and friends, and really building community
- 29:16within this entrepreneurial space.
- 29:20That's the top of the funnel.
- 29:21I want to call this out to people because they miss this stuff.
- 29:24They're like, okay, I'm going to build my podcast.
- 29:26And it's like, okay, now that you've built it and you get that running
- 29:29and this is becoming muscle memory and it's something that you do.
- 29:33Now, how are we going to drive people to it?
- 29:36What's your drug of choice as far as your top of funnel?
- 29:39Do you want to buy ads?
- 29:41Do you want to get into rooms?
- 29:43You can choose several, but you have to do them.
- 29:48People think that people are just going to magically find everything that we do.
- 29:51And there are ways that you can tune it so you can use SEO and things where
- 29:54people can find you, but you do have to be doing something on the other end.
- 29:58And I think you've done that incredibly well with that long game.
- 30:01Cause I know you network with very high level people, but I know
- 30:04you also network at all levels.
- 30:07Have you seen the people who get into the room and we do the ask and give,
- 30:12you have an ask and then a give.
- 30:14And the ask is like referrals, clients, that's what they're asking for.
- 30:19I need clients.
- 30:20And they think that like people who just met them, who have no idea what they
- 30:25do are going to just start referring.
- 30:28And that's not building relationships.
- 30:32Have you had that experience in your networking past?
- 30:36I suppose I've been witness to it.
- 30:39What's interesting about that question is, I definitely have an
- 30:42air of like, don't mess with me.
- 30:44I don't know where it comes from.
- 30:46I've always had it.
- 30:47I used to get the whole, I thought you were a bitch until I got to know you vibe.
- 30:50I just feel compelled to share that because energy matches energy.
- 30:54I wouldn't dare ask somebody that, it doesn't happen to me that often.
- 30:57I think if a room has been set up properly, the asks
- 31:01come in a different way.
- 31:03And so specifically that question, no, but generally when people
- 31:07are talking about what they need, it is, they need more clients.
- 31:09They need more visibility.
- 31:10And so to that, I'll say you need to get yourself on more podcasts.
- 31:14You need to be promoting yourself just as much as you need to be asking for things.
- 31:18As far as projectors, if we have any of those listening, it is about getting an
- 31:21invitation, but you can't be invited to things unless people know that you exist.
- 31:25And so, when I first put my first course out, nobody knew I existed.
- 31:28They knew I was a hairdresser, but there was nobody to know me.
- 31:31I didn't have a social media following.
- 31:32I didn't have any sort of platform whatsoever.
- 31:35And after I sat and thought, I'm like, how can you create
- 31:37visibility while also adding value?
- 31:39How can you ask for something if you haven't given anything yet?
- 31:41And so that's where the skin in the game came for me was the time
- 31:44investment, the money investment using what network I did have to parlay
- 31:47that into another growth in network.
- 31:49Like, hey, thanks for coming on the show.
- 31:50Who else do you know that would make a good guest on the show?
- 31:52And just really doubling down on all of that and always asking
- 31:55people, how can I serve or help you?
- 31:57And generally, the clients will come from that.
- 31:59And again, I came from a referral based business.
- 32:01So I learned early on to ask for the business from people
- 32:05that I was already working with, or who already invested in me.
- 32:08And so if you want people to invest in you, if you want people to refer you
- 32:11business, what are you doing for them?
- 32:13So my question to you is, do you follow them?
- 32:15Do you re share their stuff?
- 32:17Are you doing things without being asked with no real intention behind
- 32:20it, other than to support people?
- 32:22If you are that type of human, I promise you that long game plan
- 32:26will pay you back huge in dividends.
- 32:28People will think of you because you are always constantly commenting on
- 32:31their stories, or posting stuff about them without asking them for anything.
- 32:34This doesn't mean you have to go buy their courses or programs or spend
- 32:3710, 000 to be in their mastermind.
- 32:38Whilst that does help to get you noticed.
- 32:42You want to be sharing people's stuff without being asked
- 32:46long before you have an ask.
- 32:48So that's building the runway with relationship capital.
- 32:51And I think it was something I didn't know I already did, but working with
- 32:54people like Jeff Fenster, Lori Harder, Chris Harder, I learned that you
- 32:58have to put some skin in the game.
- 33:00And a lot of those things don't take any money.
- 33:02They just take forethought and time.
- 33:05And that's why I stay around a lot of my mentors because I see them
- 33:07commenting on other people's stuff.
- 33:09I see that's how they get into their worlds.
- 33:11And luckily, I've had some really great mentors that have shared
- 33:14how long it actually has taken them to accomplish X, Y, or Z.
- 33:18And so for me, that gives me hope that it's not taking me any
- 33:21longer than it's supposed to.
- 33:23That my journey is not going to look like anybody else's.
- 33:25And anytime I try to quit on anything, I know who to go to talk to, who's
- 33:29going to encourage me to not, looking for the proof to keep me in the game.
- 33:32But, as far as running a room and asking for something, my favorite
- 33:36recent quote that I've heard is, try to be as interested as
- 33:39possible versus being interesting.
- 33:42Yeah.
- 33:43Being curious about people is the key.
- 33:45To really be able to look and see the people who are in front of you and
- 33:49get curious about, what do you do?
- 33:52And I feel like you're built this way.
- 33:54I mean, you're a four line.
- 33:55So typically four lines just know how to interact with people.
- 34:00And you have the channel of community.
- 34:01I mean, you were a hairdresser, you were a stylist.
- 34:03So people have probably fueled your life for a long time.
- 34:08I have zero four lines in my design.
- 34:11None of them.
- 34:12I did not naturally know how to make lasting connections with people, because
- 34:18the five has a weird relationship with connection and how people see us, which
- 34:25I didn't know until later in life.
- 34:27It helped me not take it so personally.
- 34:28Yeah, we've talked about this.
- 34:29That was interesting when you share that with me.
- 34:32But one thing that really helped me was, I would always feel like
- 34:35I hadn't done enough for people, which that's a five thing, guilt.
- 34:38Five line guilt.
- 34:39I haven't done enough.
- 34:40I haven't fixed enough for you.
- 34:42But then just opening it up to people to say, how can I support you as well?
- 34:45What can I do to support you?
- 34:47I see you're doing this.
- 34:47What can I do to support you?
- 34:49And that's just a question that I've put in my mind.
- 34:52It's not the natural thing.
- 34:53I'm very head down working a lot.
- 34:55But when I connect with people, it's like, let me make intentional connections.
- 35:00And the podcast has helped so much with this too, because it's given
- 35:04me this avenue to focus on people.
- 35:07Like, let me showcase you.
- 35:09Yeah.
- 35:10And let me get super curious about you, and let me ask you great questions
- 35:14and expose you to my audience.
- 35:15And I think that's an underrated piece that a lot of people don't think of
- 35:19when they're thinking about going into podcasting is it establishes you as
- 35:24an authority, but it's also a really beautiful gift that you can give the
- 35:29people that you want to showcase.
- 35:32In the beginning, it can sometimes feel like I'm not in
- 35:35a place to lift somebody up.
- 35:37I'm not big enough.
- 35:38And I definitely fell into that trap.
- 35:40I don't have a big enough show to ask them to be on it.
- 35:44And then I had to get over that quick.
- 35:46So it trains you to get over your stuff quickly if you really
- 35:50are committed to the show.
- 35:51Yeah.
- 35:52But I got over that quick and then I realized, what a gift it is.
- 35:56Like, I had people that were way more established than me that were very
- 36:01excited when I invited them on my show.
- 36:03Or they asked to be on my show.
- 36:06And I was shocked.
- 36:07And it made me feel really good about myself.
- 36:10Yeah.
- 36:10And it made me feel like I was more established than maybe I
- 36:13was giving myself credit for.
- 36:15And then people would say I was a great interviewer and I asked
- 36:17great questions and it was like, oh, maybe I am good at this.
- 36:21The confidence that I got through this journey.
- 36:25Cause when you're building a podcast, if you're building a good one, I
- 36:28think you're building a message.
- 36:30And you may not know exactly what that message is on day one, the full thing.
- 36:34You should have an idea so that it's actually producing something
- 36:38for you, but the act of showing up does so many things for you.
- 36:44If you're showing up and you are putting out a podcast episode every
- 36:48week, I've been doing this for three and a half years now, and we do
- 36:52two episodes a week at this point.
- 36:54We've been doing that for eight months, I think we've been at the two episodes.
- 36:59It's a lot.
- 37:00I'm not going to lie to you.
- 37:01There's a lot of work that goes into the show.
- 37:03A lot of thought, a lot of energy, but also at the end of the day,
- 37:06I'm very proud of this show.
- 37:09And I CTA this with some serious confidence when I'm
- 37:13like, listen to my show.
- 37:15And it is the greatest lead magnet.
- 37:17Little soldiers out there working for me every day.
- 37:19Cause people are listening to episode 100 after they listen to episode 280.
- 37:26They're finding all of these old things.
- 37:28I don't have to create new content every day.
- 37:31When I feel like I need to have some downtime, I can take it off
- 37:35knowing that the podcast is going.
- 37:38I'm not completely absent.
- 37:39And I've built a loyal following on the podcast where my people come back
- 37:44and new people find me every week.
- 37:47I'm curious if you've ever had this thought, but I always say that
- 37:51when you're doing things in the physical world, it helps you believe
- 37:55that your dreams are possible.
- 37:57So if I have a vision for I make money in my sleep, which is something that
- 38:01we see quotes on Instagram about, we have that vision, we have that thing,
- 38:06but if you don't actually have a way for people to pay you while you're
- 38:09sleeping, then there's a part of you in your brain that's saying bullshit.
- 38:13You can't do that.
- 38:15I know that when I go to sleep, people are listening to my show because I
- 38:19see downloads change from the night before to when I wake up the next day.
- 38:23While I'm in the shower in the morning, people are listening to my message.
- 38:27They are deciding whether I am the person for them or not.
- 38:32And I'm sure you have people like this who've listened to your show for a while
- 38:35and you don't even know they exist, and then they come into your world and they
- 38:39say, I know I have to work with you.
- 38:41Or, I know you're my person.
- 38:43And that comes from you being dedicated enough to show up and give them
- 38:48something to binge, and to listen to and go deep enough with you.
- 38:52Cause they're not gonna know that from a 15 second reel with a great hook.
- 38:58Unless you're selling a course on how to do Instagram reels and grow
- 39:01to 200, 000 followers in a minute, unless you have that course and that's
- 39:07your business, that's not going to drive people to send you thousands of
- 39:12dollars, but a podcast will, because they can actually go deep with you.
- 39:17Cause you're going deep.
- 39:18Yeah.
- 39:19I think one of the girls in my mastermind specifically said, I've
- 39:22been listening to your show for over eight months, and that's what
- 39:25got her to join the mastermind.
- 39:26When I started talking about that, inviting people to check that out.
- 39:29And yeah, it was the consistency of her listening to me in her ear
- 39:33for eight months before she reached out and wanted to work with me.
- 39:37And she's actually the only one in my mastermind right now,
- 39:40currently there's seven women, that is in the beauty industry.
- 39:42So it's crazy because I know for a fact, had I not had so much
- 39:47skin in the game with my podcast, I don't think any of these women
- 39:50would have joined my mastermind.
- 39:52Four of them have started podcasts.
- 39:54Two of them worked with me individually before joining the mastermind.
- 39:57And then two of them went through my podcast course and started their podcasts.
- 40:02And then the first one who was a one on one client, we held her off for a while
- 40:06cause she wasn't clear on her message yet.
- 40:07And we worked through that before she started the show.
- 40:09Cause she wanted to be very, very intentional.
- 40:11Her topics are a little bit more sensitive and specific.
- 40:14And so with the right guidance, these four women have moved from corporate
- 40:19environments into the entrepreneurship space, but because they also wanted
- 40:23to have a podcast, that was the secret sauce of the extra layer that got them
- 40:27to work with me versus maybe another entrepreneurship coach or someone who
- 40:30could help them with their career.
- 40:32So I know it to be true.
- 40:33And the other two, I think the credibility came from the podcast as well, because
- 40:37not only does the podcast speak for itself, like you say, with the downloads,
- 40:40but is it gives me more than enough content to speak about throughout the
- 40:43week to share the two episodes that I'm also doing throughout the week.
- 40:46So on any given day, I don't have to think about what I want to share on the show.
- 40:50I at least have those two juicy episodes that I can
- 40:53promote, re promote, talk about.
- 40:55So I listen to all my episodes now.
- 40:56I thoroughly enjoy listening to them.
- 40:58I get a lot out of them, especially if there's a guest interview,
- 41:00because there's always something I missed, or maybe I batch recorded
- 41:03it and it was a few weeks prior.
- 41:04So I always listened to the show and then reshare the topics
- 41:08on the show on social media.
- 41:10I do little clips out of it over on Tik Tok and we've started to
- 41:13push stuff on Pinterest right now.
- 41:15Just driving traffic back over to the podcast, which has seemed to be working,
- 41:19but nothing moves traffic like you showing your face on social media and talking
- 41:23about stuff, or getting into the rooms and telling people about the podcast
- 41:26and getting them to connect with you.
- 41:28But I'll tell you, it's really easy to get excited about sharing
- 41:30your episodes when you're creating stuff that you're proud of.
- 41:33So I'm excited to show up sometimes with no makeup on in the morning to talk about
- 41:37the latest Friday episode, or to talk about the Tuesday episode with a guest.
- 41:40So it has become a lot more fun.
- 41:42And I think that part is something you need to experience by starting it.
- 41:46Because at first it doesn't seem like fun.
- 41:47It seems maybe overwhelming and like a lot of work.
- 41:50And oh my gosh, I'd never used tech stuff before.
- 41:52I have no idea how to do all of this.
- 41:54But trust me, there are people to help you.
- 41:56There are strategy coaches can help map out content ideas.
- 41:59And then there are plenty of people who are producing shows now at a
- 42:01very affordable price that you could probably figure out how to pay them.
- 42:05And or you could figure it out yourself.
- 42:07With YouTube university and Google, there are plenty of tutorials that
- 42:11you could watch and figure it out.
- 42:12You don't have to have a full blown production.
- 42:14You don't have to have it up on a YouTube channel yet.
- 42:16You don't even have to show your face if you don't want.
- 42:18Most people listen to podcasts through audio, but if you can, go out of your
- 42:22way to hit the zoom record button, and or put your face on the camera.
- 42:25It's even more content you can pull from, from social media.
- 42:28And then little short clips that you can put on YouTube.
- 42:30If you don't want to put the full episodes up there.
- 42:33A thousand percent.
- 42:34And I think one thing I want to add to that whole thought is that there
- 42:37are so many strategies out there.
- 42:38You should be on Pinterest.
- 42:39You should be on YouTube.
- 42:40You should be on this.
- 42:40You should be on that.
- 42:42But what do you put on there?
- 42:44The podcast becomes this easy thing that as long as it's tied to your core message,
- 42:50which is tied to your offers, which is tied to what you do, then the worst thing
- 42:54that's going to happen is it's not going to drive as much traffic as you want.
- 42:58But if it gets one person who believes deeply in what you do,
- 43:02that can be a paying person.
- 43:04One anecdote is that my latest launch that we did in April.
- 43:11I think everybody that joined our program, we had 10 people join.
- 43:16Every single one of them, I believe, was a podcast listener.
- 43:19And we had some people that joined in there that have only been in our world
- 43:24for like two months, but they binged hard.
- 43:28And I have an $8,000 program.
- 43:30They didn't buy a $22 guide from me.
- 43:33They jumped in and said, I want to spend a year with you.
- 43:36And it's because of a strong connection that was built on this show.
- 43:41So you're such an example of that.
- 43:44And I know that is what you do.
- 43:46So tell everybody, where can they learn more about what you do?
- 43:50How can they stay in touch with you?
- 43:51How can they find out about the podcast services that you offer?
- 43:54Tell them where they can get all the things.
- 43:56Yes.
- 43:56Well, as you heard, I'm on Instagram predominantly every day.
- 43:58@JessicaBurgio is my Instagram handle and Unscripted is the name of the podcast.
- 44:02You have to type my name in with it because there are many
- 44:04other people that have that too.
- 44:05show title, which is another reason to not hold yourself back, whether
- 44:08it's with the title or with anything, something's already been done.
- 44:11So don't even worry about it.
- 44:12You can fit into the game, but yeah, Instagram and the podcast.
- 44:15And then we do have retreats that we run, which are called unscripted
- 44:18live retreats where they're fully holistic style mastermind retreats
- 44:22where we come together, we drop into our feminine energy in the morning.
- 44:25Then we also do some masculine strategy business stuff in the evenings.
- 44:29They're pretty transformational, I think.
- 44:31I am an in person person.
- 44:33So if you were someone who's hiding behind the idea that you're not an
- 44:36in person person, I will convert you.
- 44:38I think I'm all about the inclusion.
- 44:40I love bringing people to the table.
- 44:41And I was once told, if I didn't feel like I was getting the right invitations
- 44:45that I had to build my own table.
- 44:46So perhaps you're someone who has to build your own table too,
- 44:49but if you want to learn how to build the table, it's over here.
- 44:51And yeah, I do love doing one on one strategy coaching for podcasters.
- 44:55It's become a big passion of mine and it's the thing I get asked most about.
- 44:58So I wanted to create some resources there.
- 45:01I do have a resource that you guys can grab if you're interested.
- 45:04Oh, maybe I should start a podcast.
- 45:05I don't want to ask the girls any more questions.
- 45:07I just got to figure this out.
- 45:08Well, it's called three reasons to start.
- 45:10And one reason not to, and I think you got the underlying theme.
- 45:13I'll give it away.
- 45:14The one reason you shouldn't is if you can't commit to being
- 45:16consistent, which anybody can build their consistency muscle.
- 45:19I promise you.
- 45:20Nicole and I are very busy.
- 45:21We're both moms.
- 45:22We're both second careers in our lives.
- 45:24We're not 20 with no responsibility.
- 45:26And we've figured out how to have a podcast and make shit happen.
- 45:29So if you are trying to build a business, and create credibility, and position
- 45:32yourself as an expert in any form, a podcast can be a really fun way to do it.
- 45:36And you've got two great resources here, me and her.
- 45:39We'd love to help you if there's anything we can do, but yeah,
- 45:41come say hi on Instagram.
- 45:42Yes.
- 45:43She's @JessicaBurgio on Instagram.
- 45:45We'll link all of it up in the show notes.
- 45:47So we've got you covered there.
- 45:48Don't worry.
- 45:49You can find all of the things that Jess just called out there.
- 45:52And I highly recommend her in all ways.
- 45:55She's just an amazing human.
- 45:56At the very least go connect with her and then jump in and grab those guides and
- 46:00the other things that she mentioned there.
- 46:02Jess, thanks for being here.
- 46:03I'm so excited we finally got to do this.
