Thrive By Design: Business and Marketing Strategy for Fashion, Jewelry and Creative Brands Tracy Matthews

Did you know that if you believe it, you can achieve it?
In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, you’re going to freaking love my guest today,  Lia Valencia Key! She’s a bundle of joy and shares her story about reinvention and how she transformed her childhood of poverty and hardship into something positive and amazing. 
Raised with very humble beginnings and in the most impoverished neighborhood in Philidelphia, she grew up in a homeless shelter with her mother and siblings. In those dark times, her mom told her, “Your predicament does not determine your destiny”. 
Lia shows you how to always find the light within yourself and how all things are possible. She’s living proof of shattering glass ceilings as she built a wildly successful business that’s been featured on QVC, Oprah’s Favorite Things, and so many more places! 
We talk about:
The secrets of connecting to your customers and selling on a whole new level.
How to overcome adversity and not let your circumstances determine your future.
How to get yourself out of a funk and find joy when you’re not feeling it.
More inspiration you’re going to love!
You are going to love her. 
Join me as I talk with one of the most joyful people that I’ve ever spoken to! Her words of wisdom and advice on how to persevere with joy will forever change your perspective (and business)!

Are you ready to think outside of the box and discover different ways to get in front of your target audience with public relations?
I chat with my very special guest Renee Warren who talks about about publicity in your business and some alternative ways that you might not be thinking about to grow your business. 
Here’s the thing - the way that we get exposure for our jewelry brands has changed and the old-school way of pitching print magazines is not really a thing anymore.
PR these days is a lot more about your experiences and how you're getting in front of the right audience with the people that you’re either talking to or connecting with who are promoting your brand. 
That’s why Renee dives into how you can do this and some of her favorite ways for jewelry business owners to get into the press!
Renee is awesome not only because of her life-changing expertise but also because she is a busy mom who is doing a lot of things in the world and making an impact, so the wisdom she shares is incredibly important for any busy woman who wants to get her business in front of more people. 
She’s here to help you build confidence and authority and gain the industry recognition and media exposure that you deserve! 
You’re going to love this episode!

Did you know that masterminding will change your business and life forever?
Joining and creating masterminds is one of my top priorities because when you invest in a mastermind, you invest in catapulting your business to the next level. 
In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, I share how every single mentorship I’ve been in has opened the door for me (and countless others I know and coached) to create more wealth, a more profitable business, and more freedom.
We talk about:
How I took one of my past businesses from $300k in revenue to a 7+ figure brand in 3 years.
How mentorship helps you stay the course and make more money than ever before. 
Why not investing in myself during my first business was a HUGE mistake. 
More ways in which mentorships uplevel your life and business! 
Fast forward to today, and I look at investment in mentorship as an investment in my future and business’s growth…
Because my first mentorship turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. It was a profound experience that opened my eyes to all of the possibilities of what I could potentially do.
So join me as I dive into why masterminds are so incredibly powerful and how they will give you tools you might not even realize you need!

Today is all about one of the core pillars of manifesting what you want in your life and business - being, acting, and emoting the energy and vibe of what you’re trying to attract. 
Because honestly, manifestation and positivity aside, sometimes life just goes sideways and you get served (as Jason calls it) a c-r-a-p ball.
Do you know what I’m talking about? 
The thing is, we’re human, and sometimes bad things happen to good people who are doing everything right. 
As a business owner, you’re going to face challenges every single week in your business, and there will be times when you come up with negative self-talk because of the hardships you’re facing (we all struggle with it).
In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, that’s exactly why I talk about how to put a spin on gratitude and be grateful for everything that’s happening to you - even when it’s not so fun at the time. 
Because, even though it definitely doesn’t feel like it, your obstacles are taking you to the next level in your business and growth.
So how do you transform that crappy energy into a positive vibe or feeling of gratitude?
I’m excited to share some tangible advice on how to embrace challenges as a path to growth!

Today my friend Zach Rehder is giving you an on-demand tool to use whenever you need a little grounding for yourself and your business! 
In this bonus episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, Zach walks us through a beautiful breathwork meditation!
Be sure to keep this short and simple session on hand for when you ever need to step back and take a few minutes to relax and reset! 
It helps you:
Hone in on an area of your life or business you’d like to change right now
Let go of control and open space to let in healing
Let go of stress, burdens, and overwhelm you’re carrying
Focus on what your business is inviting you to feel
I recommended that you do this at a place where you can let go of everything for a few moments and even close your eyes - so not while you’re focusing on something else that needs your attention.

In today’s episode, we’re switching things up! We dive into an incredibly important topic - how every business owner needs to uplevel their mindset when it comes to money, once they hit their next level of growth. 
The thing is, we all have a glass ceiling that we eventually hit. When we hit an upper limit, we sometimes do things to self-sabotage or something explodes in our life and our business. That’s why mindset work is vital. Every one of us will face times when we need to break through our glass ceilings to get to the next level. 
This is so close to my heart because this topic has been coming up a lot lately in our community. So many are struggling with their mindset around money, and it’s literally keeping them from growing.
As I thought about this, I started looking at the goldmine of books in my Audible library on money mindset. So today is all about inviting you to binge-read them with me right now! I promise they’ll help you grow in ways you never thought possible and change the whole way you approach making and thinking about money. 
I can’t wait for you to join me as I dive into the top 5 amazing money mindset books that have changed my life!
