In this Business Blast Podcast episode, host Tyler Wagner interviews Elizabeth Meunier, a staffing‑industry business consultant and Path Elements apprentice. Elizabeth shares a pivotal personal story: after graduating with significant debt and a scarcity mindset, she took a risk by attending a mentor‑recommended seminar in Long Beach, which led to a speaking role and two job offers, reinforcing her belief that "taking risks is where the magic happens." She then explains her professional mindset centered on mindfulness, active listening, and tailored communication to reduce workplace conflict and foster quality engagement with colleagues, clients, and prospects. Her core business advice is to align one’s mission and vision with their career, a process that builds courage, clarity, and confidence. When reflecting on advice to her younger self, she stresses letting go of regret to fully see life’s blessings. She defines happiness as avoiding overwhelm, prioritizing quality over quantity, and serving others. The book that impacted her most is The Path: Creating Your Mission Statement for Work and Life by Laurie Beth Jones, from which she learned that each person holds inner power to unlock wisdom and that a clear mission‑vision acts as a guiding light. Her favorite quote, by Alan Watts, emphasizes embracing change as a dance. The episode concludes with her contact details: LinkedIn (Elizabeth Meunier) and email (truewealth@pathelements.com).
Chapters
Alright everyone, welcome back to the Business Blast Podcast. Today I have Elizabeth Menier with us. She's a business consultant in the staffing industry and an apprentice with a profile generating company called Path Elements. So the first question I have for you today, Elizabeth, is what's the best story from your life that has an underlying valuable message?
When I graduated college, I had racked up a significant amount of debt, which caused me to develop a a scarcity mindset. And so at one point I was invited by my mentor to attend a seminar in Long Beach. And I almost didn't go because I didn't think I could afford it at the time, but something inside of me was yearning to just take the leap and see what happens. So long story short, it all worked out. I ended up playing a pivotal role as a public speaker for the event. And I also received two very rewarding job opportunities from CEOs that were present for the event. So what I learned from that was that it made this experience valuable because it taught me that taking risks is where the magic happens and you never know what's waiting for you around the corner.
And what's the most valuable piece of information we should know that's within your expertise or industry?
I currently work with a mindset that is focused on mindfulness, active listening, and communication. I think it's so important to be aware that everyone has different communication styles. And that's usually what causes there to be conflict within different work environments and company cultures. So when I go into any situation, I focus on providing quality engagement with my colleagues, clients, and prospects.
And what's your best piece of overall business advice?
My best piece of overall business advice would be to learn how to align your mission and vision with your career. I believe that this process does require a dedicated effort, but through it all, We gain the courage, clarity, and confidence to go out into the world with a sense of purpose.
And if you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
I would tell younger Elizabeth that you don't have to carry regret with you, because when you do, you aren't able to see all of life's blessings and lessons.
And in your opinion, what's the key to happiness?
I believe the key to happiness is that You don't need to overwhelm yourself. And it's quality over quantity. And for me, that shows up as being of service to others.
And what's the best book you've read? And what was the number one thing you learned from it?
The best book I've ever read was The Path: Creating Your Mission Statement for Work and Life by Laurie Beth Jones. And the number one thing that I learned from that book was that we all hold a power within ourselves to unlock true wisdom and share our gifts with the world. And that even at times when maybe we feel lost, our mission and vision always acts as a guiding light to refocus and recenter ourselves back on our path.
And what's your favorite quote and why?
My favorite quote is by Alan Watts. He said, "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." And this is my favorite quote because it encompasses the idea that change is life's only true constant. And oftentimes change can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming, but when we muster up the courage to embrace it, we realize that the transformational power is what makes us feel so alive.
And I have to chime in there real quick because Alan Watts is my top guy, and that is one of my favorite quotes ever as well. So that was awesome to hear that. And the last question for you, thank you again for coming on, is where can people best where people can find you online and connect with you?
