How do you pitch your business without sounding salesy? Dr. Forbes Riley was handed a pen at an audition and told a story about her mother instead. That answer launched a career of more than 1,500 television episodes, 197 infomercials, and $2.5 billion in product sales. In episode 2 she shares how she built a million dollar business in nine months without running a single ad, and what she has learned about getting to yes when selling makes you uncomfortable.

• The question she was asked at an audition, and why she answered it with a memory instead of a sales line

• How she filled her first paid rooms with no ad budget, four years before she ever bought an ad

• What her daughter spotted in 197 infomercials that Forbes had been doing for decades without ever naming it

Forbes is one of the most generous, most alive people I know, and this conversation shows you why.

Nobody builds a profitable personal brand in a straight line. Kimberly Olson got audited on the way there.

Dr. Kimberly Olson, founder of Goal Digger Girl Co. and a TEDx speaker, hit six figures in 90 days after nearly a decade of false starts. She walks me through what changed, from daily visibility to the mindset work underneath all of it.

The one thing she says matters more than personal branding, and why she'd rebuild on it

• What she asks herself the second a hater shows up, before she types a word back

• The shift in buyer behavior that killed her long launches, and what she's offering instead

Her story is proof that a slow start is not the ending.
