I want to tell you on this podcast, like, the key to creating relationships in your life, like the ones I was talking about, where I went to Nashville and got to interview with all these awesome people, be on awesome interviews, go out to dinner with incredible people, go listen to live music with, like some of the most epic people that I. It's like I'm living a pinch me life right now, and it's because of this. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the show.
It's time for another quick because there's.
Always time to fit in inspiration. And I just got back from Nashville for a week, which was absolutely amazing. Let me tell you, the people there are really making me feel like I want to move to Nashville. Like, I want to get a house in Nashville. Maybe not for all the time, because you guys know I am a water baby. Like, I just need to be near the water. My soul, like, let's just say I'm a different person by the water. Nashville's a little landlocked. There's some water there. But you know when you know, when you know where you're supposed to be in your life, like, location wise, I'm telling you, I am meant to be by the water. So I will be taking a lot more trips there because there is just an entrepreneur and girl group there that and couples that I just loved being around. My soul was like, so incredibly happy being in the creative energy of Nashville, which is songwriters and talent and dreams, and I just loved it. There's somewhere called the Listening Room there that if you go there, just trust me. Like, don't even. Don't even think about it. Put it in your agenda. I don't care when you're going. Make sure you go to the Listening Room. You have to book it. There's two different times that you can go. I think it's like 5:30 and 8:30. Just go, trust me. And then DM me and tell me about your experience. You're going to laugh, you're going to cry, you're going to feel so freaking inspired to go and do the thing that you want to do, like build the dreams. I'm not kidding. I wanted to, like, just start writing country songs with all of them. I was so moved in every single song that you hear, essentially. So it's singer. It's singer, songwriters, songwriters who write for famous people, songwriters who are new. You hear about 30 to 40 songs in one evening, and every single one could be a number one hit. And it's like, it's crazy to think that I may never Hear some of those on the radio, and it makes me realize just how much untapped talent is out in the world and how much just making yourself get in the room with those people and get creative. Because the songwriters talk all about how it's never. It's usually not just written by one person. It's like multiple people, and they work it out with a lot of people in the room. And you guys, this is what I talk about all the time. This is masterminding. Like, this is getting together with people in your genre and creating. That's what happens when people come together to create magic. Truly, magic happens, and you get to go see it live. Front row. Well, maybe front row feels like the whole room is front row. Cause it's pretty small. And you get to experience this in a different genre. So while I was there, I just met some really incredible people. Got to be on some podcasts as well, which was so fun. I was on Jess Zweig's podcast. Spiritual Hustler is the name of hers. And then I got to be on Caitlin Bristow's podcast, which was so much fun, let me tell you. She's been on my podcast before, and we just had a great time. So I knew I was going to Nashville and reached out to her and got to be on her show, which is in person, and was an absolute blast. Drank some of her wine, which she owns a wine company, and then got to interview quite a few people. And I. I just want to release, like, all of my interviews at once, because that's how excited I am. Like, I don't want to wait for them to come out, which, unfortunately, you guys, I'm literally. It is April right now, and I am booked all the way through November. Like, I need to chill out. I need to stop interviewing people. It's because it's such a great way to get to know people that it's hard for me to be like. Like, whenever I meet people, I'm always like, oh, my God, you have to come on the show. Because I know that I'm going to get to know them really well in an hour's. So.
Hey, y', all, if you didn't know, Earn your Happy is now a part of the Growth Day Podcast Network. This is so exciting to me because I have been looking for a really good home for the show for. I can't even tell you, years, literally. And now I've finally been able to come together and collaborate with other people who have incredible shows, and I want to share them with you. One of the shows is motivation with brendon bouchard. And you guys, if you don't know about the beginning of my career, I literally started started with Brendan bouchard's work. It's how I launched one of my very first online courses and membership sites was because he gives so much advice that you can integrate and implement immediately. And that's what you're going to get on the show. Not just motivation, but you're going to learn exactly how to get your stuff out in the world. And not just that, but Brennan runs in the most incredible group of humans who are really doing the thing out in the world that you want to be doing. So go check it out. Go subscribe to motivation with Brendon bouchard. I promise you, this is going to be one of those shows that no matter when you tune in, you're going to get value. Like, it's not one of those that you're like, God, I listened for 30 minutes and I didn't get what I wanted. Like, from the beginning, you're going to get something that changes your life or changes your business. So go check it out. Motivation with Brendon Bouchard. I know you're going to love it.
I'm obsessed. I'm back. I'm super recharged. I'm so excited about my company. I'm so excited about glossy right now, you guys. Like, I'm excited that I have new challenges and new problems to solve because let me tell you, selling a product every single day is freaking challenging. Like, I went from launching different things, you know, every couple months to literally having to make sales every single day of my life. When I say I am in a new arena, I am in a new arena. I am having conversations with people, new people, new networks at warp speed. Cause I'm like, girlfriend, we gotta learn this game and we gotta learn it fast. So I'm excited about that. I'm also excited just for all of you who have tried it and who are on subscription, let me tell you how important subscription is not only for the products so people can really experience all of the incredible results which, you guys, the results are insane. Go to get glossy.com and read some of the reviews. Stay on this product. If you are on it, stay on this product. Because I'm telling you, we spent so much money on putting this probiotic in these skin ingredients in there because we wanted them to work. So we went with fewer ingredients because we didn't want what the industry calls a fairy dusting to be able to put it on the label and say that, you know, it does X, Y and Z. We wanted the amount of ingredient in there to be a game changing amount. And if you check out the clinical studies that this probiotic has on it, it is insane what it's doing for female athletes and what it's doing for repair and what it's doing for your immune system and what it's doing for body composition. So this was formulated out of all of the results that we got from surveying everyone. So not just what we wanted, but also I surveyed over 5,000 women and the main objectives were that they wanted to feel lighter and they wanted to look better. And so I'm like, how can we do this with, how can we make this a beauty and wellness product? And what does it mean that they want to feel lighter? So we really dug into that and people felt like they weren't digesting their food properly. They felt like they were bloated, they just didn't feel good in their bodies. And they also wanted to be drinking more water and have glowy skin. And I'm like, yes, ladies, yes. This is me. This is me too. So that's why we went hard on focusing on skin and gut, because we wanted this packet of hydration, this hydration formula to do more. I literally feel like I'm a girl standing in front of a hydration packet saying, do more. Like I looked down at my hydration packet that I was drinking one day before glossy and I was like, why is this just really expensive salt and sugar with maybe a few vitamins in here? Like, I want this to actually do something for me where I see a result not just like, hey, I think this is hydrating me and I'm spending, you know, $40 something dollars or $50 something dollars on this packet of something that I don't actually know if it's working or not. And it might be making me feel bloated because it's too salty. So that's why we did this company, you guys. And I couldn't be more excited about it right now. And if you want to try it, you guys, there is code happy for 15% off. So go to getglosi.com and go check that out. It's code happy, trust me. Just go try it. Put your 30 days in and see how you feel. And if you want to, you guys, I am collecting before and after pictures of the 30 days and then of the 60 days and of 90 days. And if you purchase the product, we'll let you know that there are incentives along the Way to go. And not only leave a review, but to send in those pictures, you get some super cool incentives. So go grab your glossy. Also, I want to tell you on this podcast, like the key to creating relationships in your life, like the ones I was talking about, where I went to Nashville and got to interview with all these awesome people, be on awesome interviews, go out to dinner with incredible people, go listen to live music with like some of the most epic people that I. It's like I'm living a pinch me life right now. And it's because of this. This is what I want you to take away from this podcast. Be the great aggregator of your genre. Be the great aggregator of the genre you're in. So you guys, if you just are, you know, if you just got into the product space, if you are in the courses space, if you're in the personal development space, if you're in the podcast space, get people together. I don't care how you have to do it. I don't care if it starts on a zoom and you say, hey, do we want to get together once a month? I will manage it all. I will send the invites, I will work hard, I will get rejected in order to make sure we have at least four to five people on this call once a month, where we all go around and we say what we need and we help each other out as much as we can. Now I want to tell you some next level stuff. Some of you are not ready for this, but this is where you need to go. You need to work really hard to add value to the people in your space and get them together for free. So whether that means, hey, I'm gonna travel to Nashville and I'm gonna book a dinner that I pay for all by myself to get these three to five to 10 women or people together who are all podcasters, because I know that if I get them all to meet and I pay for that dinner, that I'm gonna be someone that they think about when something that I need comes up or when an opportunity comes up. And this is next level, you guys, this isn't gonna be for all of you and where you're at right now. But if you want to do some next level stuff in your life, if you want to build your career out, if you want a next level network, these are the things that you're going to have to do. And now it doesn't have to cost money. Maybe when you travel somewhere, okay, so that'll cost money. Or maybe it is in your town, maybe you do Live somewhere like a Chicago, a Nashville, a New York, a California. Or maybe you do have some hustlers in your small town. Like, go get them together, get together on a walk, get together at a coffee shop. But the next level is to just take a little bit of cash and pay for a dinner and say, you know what? It's on me. I want to get you guys all together. I know how important it is for everyone in an industry to be meeting up and sharing ideas and helping each other out. Don't expect anything out of it either. Like, when you go into it as just wanting to add value to these people's lives and get them together, that is where you are going. The law of reciprocity is created within that experience that you did for them. They will think of you. And whether the payback is in a month or whether it's in a year, I promise you that it will eventually pay you back. And not just that. Like, make sure you upload while you're there. Make sure you get great content. Make sure it looks like you're the person who gets all of these people together. Don't waste the moment. You have to take the 15 minutes we used to call it back in the day. Like, 15 minutes of fame. Like, yeah, you know what, you can work your ass off and get a magazine cover, but so many women I know got magazine covers who did nothing with it. You have to be the person to market it. You have to talk about it. You have to use that in your pitches. You have to use that in order to get, you know, on stage. You have to use that 15 minutes. You have to share about it over and over and over and over. And that's what you have to do if you're going to put one of these together. So, you guys, I'm sending you so much love. I appreciate you more than I can tell you. I literally. It would mean the world to me if you'd go and purchase Glossy and let me know. I'd love to hear what you think and I'd love to see it in your community. Let me know how I can support your community with Glossy. So until next time, everyone, earn your happy. Bye. Bye.
