    Toni Will: Quiet Rebellion, Radical Clarity

    Toni Will is the General Manager of the Kalamazoo Wings professional hockey team, a role she's held for over a decade after a 13-year career in banking and a brief, pivotal stop at the Chamber of Commerce. She's a speaker, coach, conference organizer behind empowHER, host of the Women In podcast, and author. She is also the force behind Rainbow Ice, making the Kalamazoo Wings the first professional hockey team ever to dye the ice rainbow in a statement that everyone is welcome. In a culture where drinking is practically in the job description, Toni made a quiet but profound decision to go alcohol-free in October 2020. What followed wasn't just sobriety — it was a full reclamation of identity, clarity, and the kind of leadership that only becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your ability to cope. This is a conversation about what it means to redefine yourself — as a leader, as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and as a person who decides that "normal" simply isn't working anymore.

    Amy Porterfield

    This conversation is with someone I have literally known for my entire life. We actually grew up together, and while we have gone on to forge our own paths in life, we reconnected for this conversation where she provides so many nuggets of wisdom that you're probably going to want to take some notes. She's an ex-corporate girl turned online marketing expert and CEO of her own multimillion-dollar business. Through her best-selling courses and top-ranked marketing podcast Online Marketing Made Easy, she has helped hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs to trade burnout for freedom, income, and impact and find professional autonomy, independence, and success far beyond what a corporate glass ceiling would traditionally allow. She has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, CNBC, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, and her company has twice been awarded the Inc. 5000 Award as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. She runs her growing business from Nashville, Tennessee. She recently released her New York Times bestselling book: Two Weeks Notice. She is such a kind and amazing human being, and she shares tons of amazing insight in our conversation. I'm confident that if you aren't already, by the end of this episode, you will most certainly be a fan. I invite you to think outside the lines with the lovely, Amy Porterfield.
