What happens when two business besties sit down and ask each other the questions we usually skip?

In this special episode, Anna and Selena take on Vanessa Van Edwards' Conversation Challenge, created to celebrate the launch of her new book, Conversation: How to Connect with Anyone and Make Every Interaction Count. Instead of our usual Keep, Ditch, Try, we traded seven questions from Vanessa's list, and things got real (and a little ridiculous) fast.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why kindness is a superpower, not a weakness, and how it landed a $30,000 contract
• Doing it scared, from freeway fears to hiding your big star energy behind everyone else
• The dreams we almost gave up on, the books we still want to write, and the people who shaped us

Your turn: pick five questions and ask someone you love this week. Stick around for the bloopers at the end.

We recently spent a few days at Military Creator Con in Arlington, Texas, meeting incredible content creators and learning how they built their brands. This Community Bite features Moni Jefferson, CEO and founder of the Association of Military Spouses Entrepreneurs (AMSE).

You can't pour from an empty cup, and Moni knows that better than most. She runs a global community for military spouses building businesses, and in this quick conversation with Anna, she gets honest about what it actually takes to keep showing up for yourself first.

In this episode, we talk with Moni about:

• Why showing up for yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, has to come before showing up for everyone else
• The perfectionism trap so many business owners fall into, and why it's time to ditch it
• Why she's pushing herself onto bigger stages beyond the military space, and encouraging other spouses to do the same

Grab your coffee and get ready to give yourself permission to go first.

We recently spent a few days at Military Creator Con in Arlington, Texas, meeting incredible content creators and learning how they built their brands. This is the first in a short series of Community Bites, quick conversations we recorded live at the conference.

If you don't tell your story, how is anyone supposed to connect with you? That's the question Mike Starr, owner of Blazing Star Barbecue and a 21 year Air Force veteran, opened with, and it set the tone for this whole conversation.

In this episode, we talk with Mike about:

• Why sharing your story, even the vulnerable parts, is what turns strangers into raving fans
• The barbecue trailer that sat in his yard for two years, and what it taught him about knowing when to pivot
• Why trying multiple things and doubling down on what gets traction beats sticking to one plan out of fear

Grab your coffee and get ready to rethink what you're holding onto in your business.
