    Ep249 – How to Be Better at Sales with Joe Graham
    2025/12/17
    Sales doesn’t have to feel pushy, awkward, or manipulative—but for many entrepreneurs, it still does. At its core, sales is really about problem-solving, building relationships, and helping people make confident decisions. When done with integrity and intention, sales becomes less about pressure and more about service. This conversation explores how systems, mindset, and human connection can transform the way we sell. In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I sit down with sales expert and my longtime friend Joe Graham for a real, honest conversation about sales and life. Joe shares his journey from growing up on food stamps to becoming a top-performing enterprise sales leader, along with the lessons he’s learned along the way about integrity, resilience, and building sustainable success. Get ready to be inspired by Joe as we talk about: Why sales is really about problem-solving-not persuasion or pressure How removing emotion from sales starts with building a bigger pipeline The importance of systems, follow-up, and always setting a clear next step Why relationship-building beats funnels, tactics, and one-call closes How women entrepreneurs can lean into their natural strengths in sales Simple ways to gamify sales and stay motivated as an entrepreneur Why integrity and long-term trust will always outperform short-term wins If sales has ever felt heavy, intimidating, or misaligned for you, this episode is a must-listen. Joe brings practical wisdom, real-life experience, and a refreshing reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice who you are to be successful in business. Listen in, take notes, and then ask yourself where you can simplify, systemize, and show up more fully in your own sales process. And when you’re done, be sure to connect with Joe and let him know what resonated most. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Ep248 – Stepping Into Her Speaker Era with Jessica Hammock

    Ep248 – Stepping Into Her Speaker Era with Jessica Hammock
    2025/12/03
    There comes a point in every woman’s journey when she feels that pull to use her voice in a more meaningful, more expansive way. It’s the moment when sharing information becomes sharing transformation — when your story becomes the very thing that opens doors for others. In this episode, I’m exploring what it truly means to step into that calling, honor the message in your heart, and navigate the resistance that often rises as you move toward bigger stages. It’s a powerful reminder of what happens when you say yes to your own voice. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Jessica Hammock, a speaker and mental health leader who recently stepped into her biggest speaking opportunity yet. Jessica and I worked together inside my Speak Easy program to shape her keynote, and in this conversation, she shares the behind-the-scenes journey — the challenges, the spiritual nudges, and the breakthroughs — that brought her to that stage. I can’t wait for you to hear her transformation. Join me today as Jessica and I discuss: Why shifting from teaching to storytelling can dramatically deepen your impact How Jessica recognized the message she was truly meant to share — and the “divine download” that guided her The resistance and unexpected challenges she faced leading up to her keynote, and the grounding practices that carried her through The powerful meaning behind her message of Hope Steelers, Hope Dealers, and Hope Healers The surprising opportunities that opened up after her talk, including paid speaking invitations and new visibility How showing up early and staying late at events can exponentially increase connections and bookings Jessica’s expanded vision for speaking on larger, faith-based, and transformational stages Jessica’s story is such a beautiful reminder of what can unfold when you trust your voice and share your story with intention. If this conversation stirs something in you — a desire to speak more, to lead with your story, or to get on bigger stages — I want you to know that it’s possible for you too. Your voice matters, and your message matters. When you’re ready, come explore what’s available inside my Speak Easy program or any of the storytelling resources at LIGHTbeamers.com.

  • Ep247 – Overcoming Your Fear of Visibility and Stepping into Your Calling

    Ep247 – Overcoming Your Fear of Visibility and Stepping into Your Calling
    2025/11/19
    Visibility is a word that tends to stir up big feelings—sometimes excitement, but often fear and resistance. I know firsthand how intimidating it can feel to put yourself out there, to be seen, and to let others witness your work and your story. But I also believe visibility is the doorway to deeper impact, aligned opportunities, and powerful connection. In this episode, I want to explore what visibility really means and why it matters so much on your personal and professional journey. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the insights that came out of a recent retreat I hosted, where visibility was one of the most transformative topics we explored. I dive into the real reasons we struggle to show up, the hidden fears behind that resistance, and the perspective shift that changed everything for me and the women in that room. If visibility has ever felt heavy, scary, or confusing, I created this episode with you in mind. I invite you to join me today as I discuss: Why it’s completely natural to feel resistance around being seen The surprising truth that many of us fear success more than failure The reflection questions I guide my clients through to clarify their vision The mindset shift that reframes visibility as service—not self-promotion How your unique voice, story, and delivery reach people in a way no one else can More than anything, I want you to remember this: you were not called to hide. Your voice, your experiences, and the stories you carry were meant to help someone else—and visibility is how you deliver that impact. As you listen, I hope you feel encouraged to take one brave step forward and show up just a little more boldly today. If this episode speaks to you, please share it with a friend who needs the reminder, leave a review, or send me a message—I love hearing what resonates.
