“I feel so lucky that running has made me feel empowered and given me a lot of confidence. Finding that throughout high school was something that was really life-changing for me. I really want the younger generation to have that opportunity and to see the power of sport and the power they can find in themselves and in their team, and in connecting with others who have similar goals and passions. I really want to inspire that younger generation and see all the great things that they can do.”   Welcome to U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team Trials Week! The Trials officially kick off tomorrow, June 18, at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, OR, and today's guest, Elise Cranny, is definitely one to watch. Elise runs professionally for Nike and the Bowerman Track Club, and she will be competing in both the 5K (June 18) and 10K (June 26). Elise comes into the Trials with the fastest qualifying time in the 10K, and the third-fastest time in the 5K (behind her BTC teammates Shelby Houlihan and Karissa Schweizer), and she is fit, both physically and mentally. Just a few weeks ago, Elise won the 1500m event at the Portland Track Festival, running a 4:02 and earning both a personal best and an Olympic qualifying time (though she won't be going for the 1500m at the Trials). Before going pro, Elise was a standout runner at Stanford University. She was a 12-time All-American, and finished second at NCAA Championships four times. On this episode, Elise talks about her path to the Trials, her dreams for making her first Olympic team, her history with RED-S, and her experience as a Voice in Sport mentor.

Instagram has long been one of my favourite social media platforms - until it came to using it for business.I had always found it a place I went to for inspiration, to keep up with my friends and peers and witness some beautiful photography.Then over time the platform became increasingly promotional and showy and less about #nofilters and #reallife and as it did, I struggled to figure out how to use it authentically and effectively to gain new leads and clients for my business.So when I first came across Elise Darma on Instagram, with her refreshing style, wonderful travel images and equally valuable Instagram musings, I thought 'This chick is doing it right'.I continued to watch her journey, how she posted, what she posted and how she cleverly weaved in promotions to her blog content, courses and her webinar on teaching entrepreneurs how to use Instagram to grow their business.Unlike so many other folks I was watching from the sidelines, Elise was actually teaching how to get leads and sales in a more personal and effective way. So I hired her for a personal Instagram strategy session and made some changes to my profile and things started to click.During our session I learned, not only some Instagram strategies, but how much she loves being a digital nomad (like I was at the time) and how Instagram had allowed her to become the founder of a content marketing agency for e-commerce brands called Canupy.While growing the agency, Elise has traveled to Bali, Hawaii, Australia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Spain, Portugal, the British Virgin Islands (and got to visit Necker Island while there).Figuring that she was growing her clients Instagram accounts so successfully, she realized she could walk the talk and show others how to do it by growing her own personal brand @elisedarmaIn less than a year she reached over 60,000 followers! What's more she founded a second business to help others achieve their own "travelpreneur" goals. Along the way he’s been featured for her Instagram expertise in publications such as Forbes, Entrepreneur, Brit + Co, Elite Daily, Teachable and Later.Today, Elise works one-on-one with clients so that their own businesses (and Instagrams) can thrive, and so they can build their own life of freedom and travel. You can see how aligned we are in our thinking, and what's even cooler is in our interview, she shared how she found me early on in her journey and how that impacted her....She's the perfect example of how to get paid to be you, by figuring out your sweetspot and monetising your skills, knowledge and talents into multiple revenue streams.In this episode you’ll learn:How Elise went from 9-to-5 to a full-time entrepreneurMeaning behind her content marketing agency "Canupy"Why Elise hired a business coachSales strategy to get paid for your course before you even create itElise’s advice for marketing through InstagramHow to make connections through Instagram Direct MessagesWhy it’s quality, not quantity that matters when it comes to followersResourcesLearn more about Elise over at EliseDarma.comInstagramGrowth Boss - Swipe the strategies Elise used to grow her clients’ accounts to over 250,000 cumulative Instagram followers and generate over $907,331.49 in tracked revenue to businesses (and counting!).InstagramGrowth Boss Masterclass - In this masterclass, you'll learn 3 ways to gain 1,000 Instagram followers in 30 Days without being an “Insta-Model" or spending hours in the app each day See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Elise Keith is the founder and meeting maven for Lucid Meetings — an online meeting platform that helps teams run highly productive meetings. She’s also the best-selling author of Where the Action Is: The Meetings That Make or Break Your Organization. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Elise began her career in business and the fortuitous twists and turns that led her to where she is now. Why Elise was motivated to strike out on her own after observing far too much discord and dysfunction in the company she initially worked with. Elise’s observations about the structure of larger companies for making decisions and her decision to create a product that would help smaller companies structure meetings so that they could make the transition from concept to reality without the drama and dysfunction that was prevalent in her own organization. The things people need to bring into meetings to solve problems and move forward: intentionality, purpose, structure. And how having a system aided in that. The importance of following a process when conducting meetings, including having rules that work for your organization. How Amazon conducts meeting sand why it works for them. Not to mention how similar rules might work for other organizations. The way your business conducts meetings reflects on your entire operation. When you get things done in your meetings, prospective clients notice. Why meetings need structure and not just a set of rules or a code of conduct to follow. Structure can be anything from “icebreakers” to moments of silence before getting into the meat and potatoes of the meeting. The three main components of the meeting operation system: performance criteria, meeting flow models, and support. The importance of measuring meeting results. If your meetings aren’t productive, the way you’re conducting meetings has to change. But, how do you measure the results? Why you need to know, going into the meeting, what kind of meeting it is or what kind of meeting you need to schedule.
