Think TikTok is just dancing and viral videos? Prepare to have your perspective completely transformed. In this eye-opening conversation with Jodi Porter, Vertical Director at TikTok, we dive deep into how major industries like automotive, finance, and healthcare are redefining their approach to customer connections in the digital age.With 20 years of experience spanning agencies and digital innovation, Jodi reveals what happens when traditional brands embrace a platform built on speed, culture, and creativity. "Culture happens on TikTok every day," she explains. "When brands regularly show up, not just to advertise but to engage, they naturally become part of this culture." The result? Authentic connections that drive measurable business impact.The conversation explores fascinating transformations happening across industries – financial discussions once limited to living rooms now thrive as educational content, healthcare brands build communities through trusted dialogues, and automotive companies leverage the platform as a dynamic showroom where your next vehicle discovery begins. Behind these cultural shifts is sophisticated strategy, not just viral content. As Jodi notes, "It's less about making a viral video and more about mapping your annual brand strategy to culture in ways that drive results."Whether you're a marketing professional seeking fresh perspectives, someone contemplating a career pivot, or simply curious about TikTok's business impact, this episode delivers valuable insights about leadership, authenticity, and the future of brand-consumer relationships. Jodi's journey from traditional agencies to tech leadership offers a masterclass in career development, with gems like "Don't wait to be ready. Just start showing up like you already belong there" and "Your job isn't to have all the answers, it's to make other people feel safe trying new ones."Ready to understand how culture and commerce collide in today's digital landscape?

In this fourth installment of the Seven Transitions Every Successful Woman Must Navigate series, Kris explores the fog that can settle in after years of striving, building, leading, and achieving. When the urgency fades, when the goals have been met, when your days are no longer dictated by survival or ambition... who are you now? This is the striver's dilemma. In this episode, Kris shares reflections from two recent retreats—one with Arthur Brooks, one with Rebecca Campbell—that offered wildly different but equally profound insights. She weaves together data, mysticism, and lived experience to guide you through the discomfort (and deep potential) of Transition Four: Reclaiming Future Clarity. You'll hear: Why dreaming after success feels murky, not magical How the absence of urgency can feel disorienting instead of freeing The one question to ask before launching into your next project or business Why the next version of you won't be found in a revenue dashboard or your to-do list If you're standing in the in-between—done with what was, unsure of what's next—this episode will meet you there. Not with answers, but with the kind of questions that can change everything. Contact Information and Recommended Resources The best way to stay in the know? Get on the list.

I had the hotels booked, flights locked in, the team prepped, and the agenda ready to roll. Everything was in motion for three back-to-back events—and then, I got sick.In this episode, I'm opening up about a hard leadership moment: the decision to postpone events I had poured months of energy into. It was uncomfortable. It was humbling. And it taught me one of the most powerful lessons I've learned in 20 years of business:The plan is just the roadmap—the vision is the destination. And when the plan no longer aligns, it's time to pivot.This episode is your permission slip to pivot without guilt, pause without shame, and protect your energy without apology.

This episode is real, raw, and a little personal. I wasn't planning to get sick, but life had other plans—and it reminded me of one powerful truth: if you can't step away from your business without everything crumbling, you don't have a business… you have a job.I want to let you in on what happened when I hit a wall—physically and mentally. I had three back-to-back events, coaching calls lined up, team responsibilities, and I was also celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary. And just like that, my body said "Not today."In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to lead your business when you're not at 100%. I'll walk you through how I navigated being completely out of commission and still kept things running—without the burnout or guilt.

Welcome to a special solo episode of The Career Flipper Podcast! It's the podcastaversary!One year ago, I hit publish on the very first episode of this show, having no idea what I was doing and definitely not realizing how much it would change my life. What started in the messy aftermath of a 2022 layoff (and 400+ job rejections) became a permission slip to rebuild, to reimagine success, and to start over without a map.In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of how this podcast came to be, how flipping furniture helped me flip my identity, and how conversations with guests like:Nick Musica, a former SEO guy turned animal psychicTrish Jasinski, who bought a chateau in the south of France and left corporate to open a retreat spaceCat Cheng, a former music teacher turned Netflix-featured baker (hi, tres leches dreams)And Case Sandberg, who I met at a farmer's market and learned had just left his software engineering job to become a chocolate maker…helped me feel less alone and more alive.Oh and I'm sharing a piece of my music. I wrote a song called Just Wait, about getting laid off, getting lost, and learning how to come back to yourself.Skip to 14:28 if you want to jump straight to the song.Whether you're in the middle of your own career flip, cocoon season, or identity unraveling, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't need permission from anyone else to change your life.You can give it to yourself.

What if you stopped settling for “just enough” and started building a business and a life that's bigger, bolder, and unapologetically yours? In this episode, Shauna Lynn opens up about the invisible barriers holding women back from scaling their businesses beyond boutique-level success. Drawing from personal experience and eye-opening statistics, Shauna Lynn explores why women often limit themselves to comfort zones, the hidden worthiness gap many don't even realize they have, and how deeply ingrained money mindsets shape pricing decisions and growth potential. But this conversation isn't just about naming the problem; it's about action. Shauna Lynn shares real-world examples from top companies that prove working smarter, not harder, is possible. Plus, she introduces three mindset exercises designed to help you rewrite your relationship with wealth and start envisioning the leader you want to become. If you're ready to shift from surviving to thriving, without sacrificing your values... this episode offers clarity, inspiration, and practical tools to help you get there.Timestamps:(05:15) – Why women-owned businesses stay small and the invisible barriers keeping them there(11:42) – The “enough” mindset and how it quietly limits your business growth and income(21:09) – Real-world examples of companies thriving with premium pricing and working less(34:30) – How to raise your prices and optimize without overwhelming yourself or your clients(47:56) – Three money mindset exercises to help women entrepreneurs start dreaming biggerResources:Set up a free Introductory Business Planning Session with Shauna Lynn: AboutShaunaLynn.com/planLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastTake The Accidental CEO Assessment: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/ceoquizRead Two Second Lean by Paul Akers: https://amzn.to/3GJL4o8

You're not trapped by your business, your team, or even your schedule. You're trapped by the stories you've been telling yourself about what has to happen next. In this third installment of the special mini-series on the seven transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it's time for something new, Kris unpacks the beliefs that quietly hold you back—the false truths that keep high-achieving women stuck in businesses they've already outgrown. She gets right to the heart of the stories we cling to when we're afraid to move on, and dismantles them one by one. Like the belief that if you step back and the business doesn't thrive, you've failed. That if you're no longer running things, you've somehow lost your relevance. That wanting something new makes you ungrateful—or worse, that letting go means it was never enough to begin with. Here's what we explore: Why it's not your job to make the business live forever How to let go without guilt, shame, or fear of becoming invisible The difference between relevance and resonance—and why resonance is what actually matters What it means to be a woman in transition and still be powerful How to redefine your value outside of what you produce This episode is not about dismantling your success—it's about unhooking from the beliefs that keep you small, tired, and holding on too tightly.

We're excited to bring you a special cross-over episode from our friends at the 'Think Fast, Talk Smart' podcast. Host Matt Abrahams joined us and recorded this live session at the Stanford Seed Transformation Network Summit in Cape Town, exploring the authentic communication strategies that every entrepreneur needs to master.Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three Stanford Graduate School of Business professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever wondered how customer stories come to life in global tech companies? Welcome to a fascinating conversation with Alyssa Maschi, Head of the Customer Reference Center of Excellence at Lenovo.Alyssa's career journey defies traditional expectations. Starting in nonprofit work, she made a bold transition into tech through channel marketing before finding her way to customer advocacy. Her candid admission that she "had to Google what customer reference marketing was" when applying for her current role reveals an important truth: career paths rarely follow a straight line. What carried her through these transitions? The soft skills she cultivated along the way, communication, relationship-building, and adaptability.Building Lenovo's customer reference program from scratch presented enormous challenges. Alyssa shares how she established the operational foundation, engaged with sellers, recruited customers, and eventually expanded from a single business unit to a company-wide center of excellence. Her role evolved from hands-on implementation to strategic leadership, focusing on program expansion and securing executive support. This evolution offers valuable lessons for anyone tasked with building something new within a large organization.The conversation takes an honest turn when discussing corporate politics and finding advocates. Alyssa credits her success in scaling the program to having a VP who believed in her work and provided the platform to pitch directly to the CMO. For women navigating large tech organizations, this highlights the critical importance of finding champions who can elevate your work to higher levels. When leadership guidance is lacking, Alyssa recommends returning to strategic foundations and expanding your internal network, practical advice for maintaining momentum during uncertain times.Looking to position yourself for promotion?
