Today Lesley interviewed Sandra Chuma, who shared her inspirational story of living in a mud floored hut in Zimbabwe to going to college to building an 8-figure company – before realizing she was still totally unhappy. After finding herself crying on the bathroom floor she stepped back and reevaluated, founding Worthy, a company dedicated to showing you how to get clear on what you want, and how to attain it while honoring yourself.

Today Brad & LL recap the great convo that Lesley had with Erika Quest from our last episode. We dug deeper into “System Two” thinking, when to work for free, smoke and mirrors, and constantly prioritizing yourself and your projects.

Lesley was joined by self-proclaimed “Certified La Pistola” Erika Quest, who brought her high energy and quippy responses to an encouraging conversation about being an entrepreneur in the fitness space, sprinkled with a dash of her corporate advertising background. They tackle the idea of working for free vs getting paid, brain health, prioritizing yourself and when to use smoke and mirrors.

Brad & LL take a closer look at Susanne Puerschel’s wisdom that she so eloquently provided in the last episode, discussing the value of prioritizing yourself, why you must take a moment before jumping into the next thing and asking questions when facing hard problems.

Ballet took Susanne Puerschel at a very young age from a normal childhood into the spotlight, before it all came crashing down. After moving from Germany to New York she started a family, her own ballet company, climbed the corporate ladder and started a 7-figure business. Together, she and Lesley cover hitting rock bottom, putting yourself first and breaking the generational cycle, and how you can create anything that you want in this life.

Brad & LL break down that fantastic convo from last episode with Erica Hood, digging into manifestation vs taking action, reviewing Erica’s three step prep formula to taking that messy action, how to invest in yourself and when it’s time to STOP learning more and just get started.
