Thanks to social media, It’s never been easier to connect with fellow solopreneurs from across the world. But taking friendships to that next level and meeting up in real life can feel daunting. But when Jereshia Hawk and Jordan Gill met in a Facebook group, these two entrepreneurs made an effort to connect in person and build a friendship even when it required hopping on planes. As business besties, Jereshia and Jordan have helped each other transform their businesses and mindset by sharing their skills and collaborating on business offerings. On this episode we are discussing how to turn online relationships into deep relationships that can transform your business and life.  With over 4 years of corporate Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial experience, Jereshia has led multi-million dollar projects and started two global online businesses. After 14 months of building her business, she became a #CorporateDropout and crossed the bridge into full-time entrepreneurship.

Opening up to others is one of the hardest things to do. When we do practice vulnerability, what happens is an authentic connection with another human being that is wonderfully sweet. But...knowing the rewards of honesty is still not enough sometimes for us to break the ice. It’s helpful when there is someone else to pave the way and that’s one of the many reasons why I love Ashley Beaudin. I reached out to Ashley early on in the formation of this podcast, and I’ve been excited to have her on the show since. Ashley is passionate about online community building, and she knows that it all starts with honesty + bravery. Ashley's signature movement, Imperfect Boss, helps to normalize imperfection in all things. Nobody’s perfect, and Ashley’s doesn’t just acknowledge imperfections...she embraces them. Among her many passions are donuts, meeting people, and changing lives. Get to know the real Ashley with me today as we break apart a recent Instagram post that is radically honest and incredibly real. We cover topics like her childhood, body image, sex addictions, and receiving government assistance. Ashley’s story has a little bit for everyone, and I am inspired and in awe by her bravery in the face of adversity. Shall we? Listen in to hear Ashley and I talk about: Our favorite donuts. Ashley's is a sour cream glaze while mine is anything maple bacon. Ashley’s recent Instagram post (she was on a mission to disrupt shame) and 5 of her super honest imperfections - a sexting addiction and never been kissed are just 2 of them! Feeling uncertain in your own body and the impact of your parents growing up - from feeling rejected to lacking basic self-care. How Ashley has struggled with her sexting addiction and intimate relationships. How faith and church culture impacted Ashley’s ability to grow.  Battling shame and fear when going on financial assistance.  Why Ashley ended up having 12 teeth pulled at a men’s homeless shelter.

When was the last time you were moved by a magazine? The images bringing a smile to your face. The content inspiring yo to keep going. The pages themselves creating an experience. Brooke Saxon-Spencer, founder of Belong Magazine, hopes that she can be the answer to that question. Belong Magazine is a digital and print publication that is geared towards female entrepreneurs, primarily in the arts, blogging and social media fields. However, it speaks to female entrepreneurs at all levels of growth; whether you're established or still in the idea phase. It tis meant to provide tools, resources, and a community for women business owners alike to connect and support each other. The concept for the Belong was hatched from previous blogging attempts by Brooke. As she was figuring out the best plan of action for her blogs, and in need of support when they failed, she wished there was an easy to find, and established community of women like her to talk with. And so, she decided to be the one to make one. She launched Belong in September of 2015, and by it's third issue, it was already picked up by Barnes & Noble. Even though the publication has a digital medium, she prides herself on the print form of the magazine, with vivid images, unique finishes, page weight, and as she put it, life-giving content. Her magazines are so visually stimulating, that they have even been the subject of Instagram hashtags, Pinterest tags, and used as decorative home pieces. Learn more about how Brooke doesn't balance her life, tends to her family, and invigorates her readers by encouraging them to power through the turbulent road of entrepreneurship! In this episode you will... See the growth and accomplishments in the slow rise of your business Know how to create a business out of the curation of a broader field Understand how to effectively and strategically defy modern advancements with your product or business Figure out how to create a supportive and nourishing community with you business or brand Know your limits as an entrepreneur financially, mentally, and personally Find out ways to turn your idea into a tangible product or business INSIGHTS "You have to put yourself out there. Just by existing you're not going to just grow relationships. You actually have to do the work." -Brooke Saxon-Spencer "As a business owner...there's always something about getting your finished product...and being like 'oh my gosh I did that'." -Brooke Saxon-Spencer "Not only did I do it...something that was this loose concept and idea, but I had no background and knowledge on how to accomplish this, but I did it on my own. That'd really rewarding on it's own" -Brooke Saxon-Spencer "My life is more than just about the magazine...yes there is work to be done, but am I making a good choice right now?" -Brooke Saxon-Spencer "I don't balance it all there's no possible way...when you do choose one thing over another, that other thing is getting let go and sometimes that's okay." -Brooke Saxon-Spencer "Knowing that [the magazine] is going to be in the hands of other women and encourage them is so live giving, and rewarding, and just keeps me going." -Brooke Saxon-Spencer

Welcome to Episode 1 of Office Talk! My guest is Brooke Saxon Spencer, the founder and editor of Belong magazine.

You’ll find Brooke to be amazingly authentic and inspirational. Join us!

Brooke Saxon-Spencer, is the Founder + Editor of Belong Magazine. Introvert, Starbucks addict, M&M fiend, wife to her college sweetheart, mother of three, work-from-homer, midwestern girl at heart living in SoCal, dabbler in all things crafty and pursuer of Christ. As a creative introvert, Brooke began blogging a few years back looking for “her people” and “her place”.  Blogging didn’t bring her instant friends and the cozy comfort of community just by having an existence on the internet. In fact, it made Brooke feel even more lost and alone. Brooke has a desire for people to use the screen in front of them to connect beyond that screen. To discover “their place” and find “their people". This is the soul of Belong Magazine. To create a space to highlight some of the amazing resources--networks, conferences, other bloggers, etc... The world wide web is exactly that - a gigantic, messy mass of roads through which it is incredibly hard to find any destination, especially if you don't know what exactly you're looking for. Belong Magazine hopes to be the map--or at least the navigation system. To create. To connect. To encourage. To inspire. So that you can find a place where you belong. What success means to Brooke: "Being faithful and taking the next step." Things we chat about in this episode: how reading, writing, and reflecting helped spark Belong Magazine how belong magazine came out of Brooke trying to find her place, so she wanted to create a map to help other people find one another why having perseverance pays off. She admits she doesnt always know what she is doing, but she keeps moving forward. her most recently "scary moment" was sending 500 free copies of Belong Magazine to conference. books we mention: Mortal Instruments  and Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson Belong Magazine being in Barnes and Noble locations soon!
