In our last episode we talked about how, after a LONG time, real-life, in-person networking events are a thing once more. Some of you might be full of joy at the idea, but an equal number of you will be horrified that you're going to have to get out there once again. So how can you make the best out of these opportunities and put yourself and your business out there in a way that still reflects your true, authentic self? To help you out, my guest today is Carrie Sharpe, a Communication Consultant, Speaker, and Co-Owner of He Says, She Says. She is also the co-host of the Speaking with Ryan & Carrie Sharpe podcast. With over twenty-five years of experience and training, Carrie coaches clients in communication and public speaking skills. We talk about how in-person networking (and pitching) should be like courtship. And don't worry, introverts - we've got your back! Topics covered include: The work that Carrie does alongside her husband, Ryan, and how they serve their clients What a networking plan is, and why you should be thinking about creating one How to approach planning for events of different sizes - from smaller in-person networking events, all the way up to multi-day conferences The way to build relationships at events without seeming gross - including how to create your ‘elevator pitch', and the importance of leveraging referrals from the people you connect with How to navigate large in-person networking events if you're an introvert - even down to where to stand in a large room Tactics to make the most out of the connections you make at events - making sure that we're engaging in dialogue and conversation rather than word-vomiting Why Carrie doesn't like to be pitched and prefers to be courted - with an example of what she means! I hope you found this episode useful and that it has given you some tactics which you can put into your next IRL events.

It’s what you do with the knowledge and how you work with a team that will make the difference. Same thing in marriage or in your job.

What is The Looney Farm and what is their unique approach to the business? Carrie Chlebanowski of The Looney Farm (a Certified Naturally Grown farm), joins us today to tell us all about her and her husband Joe’s farming operation. Located in central Oklahoma near Oklahoma City, The Looney Farm started their little homestead in February of 2015 learning to raise and grow as much of their own food as possible. After closely studying market garden legends, they transitioned their homestead into a very small, but functional market garden farm. Spring of 2019 brought a 4x expansion in their farming operations, and they are now growing a wide variety of premium produce for the greater Oklahoma City metro area. As you all know, every farming operation is different, and The Looney Farm is certainly no exception. Join us today to hear all about Carrie’s unique approach to the farm biz! You’ll hear: What’s currently going on at The Looney Farm 1:33 How much farmland The Looney Farm is working with and what kind of crops they are growing 2:24 Why Carrie decided to become a farmer 3:27 What the typical day looks like on The Looney Farm 5:41 Some strategies Carrie uses for handling the heat 7:57 How Carrie handles task management 9:21 The hardest thing Carrie has done as a farmer 12:15 How The Looney Farm communicates with their customers 14:01 About the various investments Carrie and Joe made before starting The Looney Farm 15:19 Who Carrie’s mentors in farming are 19:45 What systems Carrie would put in place sooner if she could go back in time 21:18 About Carrie’s team 23:48 What Carrie’s children’s roles are on the farm 27:10 About The Looney Farm’s key marketing tactics 29:28 The biggest mistake Carrie sees newer farmers making 35:11 How Carrie achieved the right mentality to start a farm 37:27 Carrie’s favorite farming tool 39:52 Where you can find out more about Carrie and The Looney Farm 45:03 About the Guest:Carrie is a 44 year-old reformed suburbanite who moved with her family to their 10 acre farm in February 2015. In previous lives she owned an on-location portrait business and worked in special education. Initially set up as a homestead, her family dabbled in pastured pork and poultry before diving in full gusto to market gardening in 2018. In an effort to gain the knowledge of growing vegetables and building a new ag business, she invested in intensive trainings and workshops with internationally recognized market farmers such as JM Fortier, Michael Kilpatrick, and Ray Tyler. Since then, she has made it her goal to grow the best quality, most nutrient dense vegetables possible, and in that effort The Looney Farm became the first Certified Naturally Grown farm in the OKC metro in early 2019. She hopes to learn more regenerative practices to incorporate into their model of growing in the coming seasons. Building healthy soil is one of the top priorities. Carrie and her husband Joe look forward to working together full-time soon, and find even more avenues to serve the OKC metropolitan communities through the farm. The Looney Farm currently sells at the two OKC farmers markets, a Buyers club style CSA, and through a locally sourced grocery store.

Carrie’s been blogging since 2011, and in October of 2018, she sold her first blog, carefulcents.com for nearly six figures! And she’s on the show today to share with you exactly how she did it. Today we’re talking about: Why Carrie decided to start a personal finance blog when there were already a lot of personal finance blogs out there. The steps she took to quit her day job two years in and start blogging full time. Unconventional strategies Carrie used to grow her audience. Exactly how Carrie monetized her blog. How she came up with the idea to sell her blog, how she found a buyer, decided on the price and what she put in her sales contract. Blog growth strategies that Carrie’s most successful 6 and 7 figure clients are using. The most important thing to make sure you include in your blog. What pillar content is and how to use it to your advantage. Carrie’s advice if you’re struggling to get traction with your blog. The beliefs Carrie had to change about herself to get where she is today. Before we dive in, what’s crazy to me is that when I was preparing the show notes for this interview I searched my inbox for Carrie’s bio, I found this email thread from 2016 where Carrie writes: “Shannon, I just finished going through your entire Free 5-Day Website Challenge and have completely overhauled my website and membership site: http://www.carefulcents.com/ THANK YOU! This is something that's been on my list for a long time and I'm thrilled that I was finally able to get moving on it.” And then she goes on two years later to sell her blog for almost six figures. Wow. So if you’ve been wavering on whether you should start a blog, or you need a website for your side hustle, or your website frustrates the heck out of you and holds you back, seriously, you need to sign up for my free training - I’ll tell you how at the end of this episode. My favorite quotes from Carrie: “You have to invest in yourself.” “Once you put it out there, even just by thinking it, the universe just brings you the right people.” “If so many people are asking, maybe your experience can help.” “Figure out what you really love - and what you are good at.” “Niche down, you can always expand later.” “I would do stuff that I love, that I’m good at, and that doesn’t tie me to a desk.” “Quitting doesn’t mean failing.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Dave Ramsey Careful Cents (the blog Carrie sold) HashtagColoradoLife Podcast Carrie’s E-book: The Ultimate Guide to Selling a Blog: How to Sell Your Blog for Six Figures and Be Your Own Broker Bio: After being a workaholic in her twenties, Carrie Smith Nicholson became debt free and then quit her job in 2013. During this time, she founded the blog carefulcents.com and grew it into a well-known financial resource. Earlier this year she sold her business for six figures to dedicate more time to growing Hashtag Colorado Life! Over the past 7 years Carrie has worked with companies like Chase, Capital One, FreshBooks, QuickBooks, and many other well-known brands.

Chances are, if you've been a runner, a cyclist, or even a studio fitness-er for a decent amount of time, you've battled injury at some point. In their new book Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries, Carrie Jackson Cheadle and Cindy Kuzma address not just the physical side of recovering from injury, but also the mental side. Calling this a book doesn't do it justice, though; Rebound is really more of a resource and a workbook, with nearly 50 thought-provoking exercises included that are designed to give the reader tangible ways to mentally rebound from injury to come back better, faster, and stronger. Listen to this episode to hear all about how Cheadle and Kuzma came up with the concept of the book, how they made the most of the injured athletes community while writing the book, and of course, what their big goals are for the future. Here's what you'll hear in this #WeGotGoals episode: 4:26: How a sports psychology class in undergrad led Carrie to realize the strategies discussed were just as useful for athletes as they were for practitioners, and ultimately planted the seed for Rebound. 6:05: A big goal Carrie and Cindy have achieved in the past, why it was important to them, and how they got there. 10:00: Why Carrie and Cindy decided it was important to write a book expressly for athletes using research on mental strategies for recovery. 13:15: The stories of injured athletes that stood out, including Jacki Gemelos and Kevin Ogar. 17:15: How community played a role in Rebound, both in the research discussed in the book and in the actual writing process. 22:00: Carrie and Cindy's favorite mental exercises from the book, including the emotion decoder, energy conservation, and good news/bad news. 27:50: The surprising thing Cindy noticed about the phrase "everything happens for a reason" among injured athletes. 32:00: Carrie and Cindy's big goals for the future. Links and resources we mentioned: Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries The Injured Athletes Club website The Injured Athletes Club Facebook group The Injured Athletes Club podcast If you love this episode as much as we do, subscribe to the #WeGotGoals podcast wherever you like to listen to podcasts, on Apple, Spotify, and more (and hey, leave us a rating while you’re at it!).
“The way that I’m training is good for my soul right now.” Carrie Tollefson is a professional middle-distance runner and Olympian turned mom of three, broadcaster, race analyst, podcast host, running camp director, and so much more. Most recently, the former 1500-meter specialist added another impressive title to her list: 2:51 marathoner. Six years ago, Carrie was four months postpartum and ran her first marathon in an astonishing time of 3:02. She made a goal to someday run a sub-3:00 marathon, and this was her year. On this episode, the Minnesota native and host of C Tolle Run talks about her somewhat unconventional training methods, why this was the time to pursue her marathon dreams, and what it meant to her to race in a Brave Like Gabe singlet.

She shares her perspective on what it's like to be the one leading people, embracing our power as women, and what we need to get better at in leadership. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Yes, even tech experts are real people, and you will see how. Where Carol's tech interest emerged from, and the path that led her to be CEO of an early stage tech company. How she spoke her intentions loudly from a young age, and how we can start to use our words and declarations to manifest our visions. Why Carrie refers to Carol as the “Martha Stewart of the tech world.” That women have come into their power, and women question their own abilities much less than they used to. That it starts with the belief that you are capable and worthy of sharing your story and using your voice. How Carol got deliberate about choosing her travel and managing her time to be present at both work and home. The highly risky decision to turn down Google, and the lesson of doing what makes you happy and believing in yourself. What Axonify is, and they use three core cognitive principles to turn a few minutes a day into a team's long term success. Examples of how Axonify had a massive impact on a company's ROI, behavior change and safety. What's next for Carol both personally and at Axonify. Why Carol feels so strongly about being a mentor, and her advice for entrepreneurs.

Quotes: “Even if you run a tech company, you can still struggle with technology.” “Start believing in yourself, and that you don't need to be anybody other than who you are.” “I'm a huge risk taker in many ways, and I come from a belief and confidence in myself.” “You will have many ideas, so don't work at something for 4-5 years that is going nowhere.” “You need sheer intestinal fortitude to be an entrepreneur.” “Spend your money wisely.” Mentioned: Axonify Journey Into the Inner Circle: Carrie Doll @CarrieADoll – Twitter @carriedollconsulting – Instagram Carrie Doll – Facebook Please rate, review and follow the podcast!

Today I'm talking to fearless freelancer and WordPress expert Carrie Dils all about how she transitioned from 1:1 client work to monetizing her knowledge on a bigger scale. If you want to move beyond time-for-money in your side hustle, this is the episode for you! Carrie has been around in the WordPress and web design community for many years – I’d even seen her name around well before I decided to start freelancing – I’d be working on a website at my day job and run into a snag, start googling and her blog would come up quite often. Her name is Carrie Dils, and I came across her again when I booked a new web design client with a pretty challenging project. I was researching how to do something, came across Carrie’s website again and saw that she had a way to just book a paid consultation call by the minute – which we’ll talk about later in this episode. So I booked a call, got some advice and then invited Carrie on the podcast to talk about how she monetized her WordPress knowledge beyond one on one client work. In today’s episode, Carrie and I dig deep into: The tipping point where Carrie took the leap from day job to full time side hustle. Creating multiple streams of revenue outside of 1:1 client work as a web designer. How to do content marketing as a web designer. How to easily sell your expertise – in any subject – by the minute. How Carrie dealt with imposter syndrome when she was first starting out The #1 skill to have as a web designer. Why you shouldn’t try to do everything yourself in your web design business. Why Carrie shifted from writing Genesis and WordPress tutorials for freelancers to teaching them how to be a successful freelancer. Carrie’s #1 piece of advice for a new web designer. Carrie’s advice on pricing. The belief Carrie had to change about herself to get where she is today. Just a quick heads up – you’ll hear some background noise in this interview – Carrie had to duck into a coffee shop to do the interview, which is totally cool with me! So let’s dive in to my interview with WordPress Expert and Fearless Freelancer Carrie Dils. So if you’re a web designer or you’re thinking about freelancing, head on over to peptalksforsidehustlers.com/freelance and that’ll send you over to my blog post all about how I got my first web design client, and you can get your hands on a freebie – my 7 Step Website Consultation Checklist and script that will walk you through how to do a consultation call with a potential client.
