My guest today is a chef, life coach, and future podcaster.  On top of having a solid and consistent social media game, she has built a successful coaching business where she works with clients both in and out of the kitchen - and her passion for both really comes through in today’s episode.  I am talking about Chef Vanessa Lee and through her business - The Seed - she is helping clients learn that cooking AND self-love can truly change your life. 

Now, while this is very interesting and important work in and of it self - and I have actually had the opportunity to cook live with Vanessa and I would encourage you to check out her cooking classes and give it a shot yourself - you can find her at @theseedbyvanlee on instagram and theseedbyvanlee.com -  the main reason we started talking is because she wanted to figure out if podcasting was something that made sense for her and her business.  She is a chef, yes, and that may not scream “START A PODCAST” - but you’ll hear in today’s conversation why podcasting makes sense for Vanessa and why it may be right for many business owners out there.

Today’s conversation is intriguing and has something for everyone - it will be especially helpful if you are considering starting a podcast, but not sure if its right for you or how to get started.  Vanessa’s journey is unique - but includes lessons that are relevant for all of us.

My guest today is Craig Daigle, who has built a tribe simply by showing up as himself in an authentic and unfiltered way.  After losing over 130 pounds, it was never his goal to lead others to do the same, but by sharing his story, he found others start to gravitate toward him.  Craig has since gone on to grow a successful health and fitness coaching business in the network marketing space and it all started when he decided to take ownership of everything in his life and stop allowing himself to blame external factors for the challenging circumstances he faced. 

Anything worth pursuing is going to be hard; whether that’s getting yourself in shape, starting a business, or launching a podcast.  But today we talk about “choosing your hard” and why that choice will determine whether you live a life of regret or a life of fulfillment.  I like to call Craig a “future podcaster” because, though he hasn’t started a podcast yet, I can certainly see it in his future.  I think you will see why when you listen to today’s conversation.  Although, he is not a podcaster (yet), we discuss how some of the same principles that have made him successful in the coaching space can be applied to launching and growing a podcast.

My guest today is an author, speaker, business and life coach, and on top of that he’s been podcasting consistently for over 5 years.  You can find his books “The Leap of Your Life” and “The 1% Rule” on Amazon and check out his podcast “The Resist Average Academy” where he is dropping at least 1 episode a week.  My guest is none other than Tommy Baker, who, on top of all that I just mentioned, has been a big part of my life and business for the past almost 2 years. 

Tommy is the model of consistency and in our conversation today we talk about some of the key ingredients that have helped him remain consistent for 5 years of podcasting.  We also talk about some strategies he has used to land some big name guests and secure consistent advertising, which has allowed him to make his podcast what he refers to as his “pillar platform.”

Tommy has a very successful coaching business and like so many business owners, his podcast started out as a marketing tool to drive customers to his business - but because of his consistency and creativity, it is turned into much more.  This conversation is packed full of useful tips and information, whether you’ve been in the podcasting game for a while or you’re just getting started.
