The hand written notes, unsurpassed customer service, the unforgettable brand experience — all of these factors and more set truLOCAL into a league of their own. When I teach the concept of understanding your businesses Unique Differentiating Factors, or more simply put, the things that make your brand STAND OUT, these are what I’m talking about.

truLOCAL is more than just a box of (delicious) meat. It’s the community they’ve built, the producers that they work with, the members of their team, and the journey in launching and scaling this epic business – that has truly set them apart.

As a long time customer of truLOCALI could not be more thrilled to share this episode with you. My experience with the brand has been nothing short of exceptional, and speaking to co-founder Marc for the first time was no different.

Marc drops some amazing wisdom in this episode that I can’t wait for you to hear. We chat about…

  • Why he left his 6-figure “corporate” career to dive into the world of entrepreneurship

  • Their experience on CBC’s Dragon’s Den

  • The roller coaster of challenges that Marc and his co-founder Greg faced in the early days

  • How truLOCAL got their first few sales & began building a tribe of Brand Evangelists

  • Deciding on a name (did truLOCAL come easy to them!?)

  • Marc’s advice for new entrepreneurs that are hung up on Naming Their Business (he shares his tips)

  • How they’re navigating the Collective Global Experience of COVID-19 (& why he’s super grateful for this time period)

106 It’s Never Too Late to Chase Your Dreams with Country Music Artist Alli Walker

 

NEW PODCAST EPISODE!

 


Alli Walker - Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

Alli Walker

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

As I write you this intro, I am listening to the most beautiful song called “Little Things” by today’s Visionary Guest, Alli Walker.

I’m in a complete love-fest with her music right now.


Alli Audiogram.pngAlli Audiogram.png

Alli is quickly garnering the attention of the country music industry with her unique style of music that she coins ‘Mindful Music’ and ‘Conscious Country’ which is authentic and vulnerable storytelling based on mental health subjects, empowering messages, life’s hard lessons, and the tough questions we ask ourselves.

Her songs are literally vibrating my soul during this unsettling, challenging, and eerie time of COVID-19. I’ve had my positive days, I’ve had my worried days, but each day… you can bet that music is playing a MASSIVE role in managing my mood.

That’s why I am so thrilled to share this episode that I recorded with Alli Walker. It should be noted that this WAS recorded pre-COVID. Alli came to my office in Toronto and we recorded side by side, before the social distancing restrictions.

Alli may be a musical artist, but more than that, she’s an ENTREPRENEUR. She’s a beacon of light. She’s a hard worker with a vision that will inspire you through your headphones.


Alli Walker IG Stories.pngAlli Walker IG Stories.png

Alli Walker is a Prince Edward Island raised singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who moved to Toronto when she was 19 to ‘chase the dream’.

Now with hundreds of shows played and songs written, she is proud to have released her Top 10 iTunes charting debut album called ‘The Basement Sessions: What I’ve Learned So Far’ and  she has been named Top Country’s ‘Top Female Artists of 2019’.

Be sure to grab your phone & screenshot the episode, sharing it on IG stories for a chance to win some VISIONARY swag.

Founder of The Modern Hustle

LET’S TALK SOCIAL FOR A MINUTE!

  • Have you found that you’ve been spending wayyyy too much time online in the past few weeks?

  • Are you scrolling Instagram 24/7 because now you have no boss to watch over you?

  • Do you want to use your time online more effectively to connect, rather than to creep & consume?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, you’re going to love this episode!

Instagram may not be the answer to your problems during this Collective Global Experience, but it can play a massive role in keeping you connected, keeping you sane, and keeping you inspired… AND KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS FIRED UP & PROFITABLE.

Since Instagram offers all of us a relatively barrier-free way to share our message to the masses, today is the day to rise up and take full advantage of the features & opportunities! That’s why I brought Instagram Coach Shannon Heth on the Visionary Life Podcast, today.

Shannon is an Instagram Marketing Coach who works with female coaches + creatives by helping them step into their 6 figure mindset + create a business strategy to get in front of their dream clients so they can double their income.

As you guys know, I’m a massive advocate of using IG to grow your Business!

I’d guess that more than 80% of my clients find me and get to know me through Insta. Cool, right?

If you’re not using it to its full potential, then this episode is for YOU!

We talk about…

102 Community Building Through Crisis with Vanessa Ortali, Founder of The Ladies Community

NEW EPISODE!


Vanessa Ortali - Community Building Through Crisis

Vanessa Ortali

Community Building Through Crisis


Vanessa Ortali has been a serial entrepreneur all of her life. 

She has always lived for the deeper meaning of life and is adamant on making a genuine contribution to the world around her, even during times of crisis.

Over her career she has worked with and trained many fortune 500 companies, leaders and celebrities.  She spends much of her time speaking, coaching and expanding her women’s community internationally.

As a business school graduate, licensed coach, and expert in events, self development, community building, and connecting others, Vanessa founded The Ladies Community (aka TLC) in 2016.  TLC has grown into an international company with more than 20,000+ members in just 3 years.

Vanessa’s passion, love, optimism and vulnerability will inspire you to connect with your soul and create the life of your dreams while finding inner peace – especially during this time of crisis.

I connected with Vanessa when I became a partner of TLC for the 2020 calendar year, where I’m now supporting her incredible tribe to offer them Business Coaching and support in taking their ideas out of their head and turning them into businesses.

Vanessa and I recorded this episode on the 1st of April 2020, during the Collective Global Experience of COVID, and therefore the bulk of our conversation is about MANAGING YOUR MINDSET AND YOUR BUSINESS DURING THIS TIME.

If you need someone to lift you out of your rut, to help you flip your thought patterns, and to support you navigating the COVID experience – Vanessa is your girl.

She’s not contracting or playing small through this crisis, she is RISING… and it’s beautiful to see all of the work she’s done in the past come to play as she leads her community with strength.

We chat about:

  • Who are you & what do you do?

  • Tell us more about TLC.

  • Describe what’s been going on with you and your business the past 2 weeks….

  • How have you pivoted your services to meet the current demand?

  • What’s been the greatest gift that these past couple weeks have given you?

  • What’s a typical day in the life for you right now?

  • Have you found any new routines that are working really well for you, right now?

  • What do you think the impact of this crisis (COVID-19) will be for Online Business Owners?

  • How can we use this time to our advantage right now, whether we have a business or not…

  • If we have to isolate or sequester for 60 more days, what would be 1 skill you’d want to pick up?

  • Tips for anyone feeling SUPER overwhelmed with how to carry on in business right now?

  • Making the “next best decision”

  • Her roots in running a lemonade stand

  • Creating a revenue structure while doing something you love
