    From Trunk Sales to 6,000 Stores: What Serial Entrepreneurs Know About Starting Again — with Susie Miller

    Susie Miller went from selling cookies out of the trunk of her car to landing in over 6,000 stores nationwide — then watched someone else run her company into the ground. In this episode, Genevieve sits down with her longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur to talk about what it actually takes to keep going after something you built falls apart. They cover the real grief of selling a business, why alignment with a partner is non-negotiable, and why "starting over" is the wrong frame entirely. If you're in a season of reinvention — or you know one is coming — this one's for you. What comes up: Building Among Friends Baking Mixes from trunk sales to Costco and Publix What grief looks like when you sell a company you birthed Why scrappy beats polished almost every time How to build a life that makes room for all of who you are MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Find Susie's art: https://www.thebrightspotart.com/ Watch the Conan O'Brien clip: https://youtu.be/bs6l6CE6U9M?si=lrLOEKiPQGQAus1X RESOURCES Get your free 7-Day Sales Confidence Transformation https://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio Subscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results). https://newsletter.gskory.com/ Need help now?

  2. You're Not Being Authentic. You're Being Passive. Here's the Difference

    MAR 4

    You're Not Being Authentic. You're Being Passive. Here's the Difference

    I can’t believe I’m saying this… but there’s ONE thing bro marketers get right that women in sales need to adopt immediately: lead the conversation. If you’re always reacting—avoiding discomfort, saying “no pressure,” offering discounts, or letting prospects drift—you’re not being “nice.” You’re leaking sales out of your funnel and losing authority without realizing it. In this episode, Genevieve breaks down: Why leading = value (and reacting = lost trust) How “no pressure” becomes passivity (and kills conversions) What to say when someone asks for a discount or says “I need to think about it” Why prospects actually expect you to guide them The doctor analogy that will change how you see sales leadership How to audit your last 5 sales conversations and spot where you gave up control If you want consistent sales without hype, pressure, or pushiness—this is your next skill.

  3. The Leadership Philosophy That Kept Her Business Growing for 25 Years

    The Leadership Philosophy That Kept Her Business Growing for 25 Years

    Do successful people ask themselves different questions? Are they more disciplined… or do they simply operate from a different kind of intention? This week Genevieve Skory welcomes Nancy Bogart, CEO and founder of Jordan Essentials, for a grounded conversation about what long-term success actually looks like in direct sales. Nancy shares her origin story: leaving her career to care for a son born with a severe birth defect, becoming a stay-at-home mom to three boys, and then inventing a lotion bar that unexpectedly took off at craft fairs in 1999. After selling out repeatedly and seeing others ask to help make and sell the product, she and her husband incorporated the business in 2000 — and 25 years later, the company continues to grow. You’ll hear how Nancy thinks about boldness (including borrowing it from her mom), why desperation doesn’t create sustainable results, and how intention becomes a “line in the sand” that helps leaders stay above the noise. They also dive into personal inventory, values, uniqueness in leadership, and what to do when a company hits a downturn — including the importance of transparency, integrity, and staying long enough to actually learn the lesson. Nancy also shares practical insights on relationships, leadership development, protecting your circle, and why “it always works out” is more than a catchphrase — it’s a mindset practice your brain listens to. If you’ve been feeling stalled, doubting your next move, or wondering how real leaders stay steady through hard seasons, this episode will land.

  4. The Brutal Truth: You Might Not Be Coachable (Yet)

    FEB 10

    The Brutal Truth: You Might Not Be Coachable (Yet)

    Genevieve uses the Olympics as a powerful business metaphor to call out a common trap: confusing busyness with progress. Olympians spend years training in silence—repetition without applause—for one performance. They don’t hire coaches to keep them “busy.” They train to win, practice the hard parts, and measure results. Genevieve argues that many entrepreneurs do the opposite: they stay endlessly busy doing what they’re already comfortable with, avoid the numbers, avoid standards, and then wonder why results feel irregular. This episode breaks down: Why busyness can be avoidance in disguise How “familiar strengths” protect your routines—and stop growth What real coaching is (correction, standards, feedback) vs what it isn’t (babysitting, cheerleading, feel-good validation) The difference between loyalty to effort vs loyalty to outcomes Why standards reduce activity and increase results How to tell if you’re coachable—and why coachability is the door to mastery If you’re tired of working hard without the results to show for it, this episode will help you shift from “busy” to “training to win.” RESOURCES Free 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system) https://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/about Subscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results) https://newsletter.gskory.com/ Visit my website https://gskory.com Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DoTheDoToday Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/genevieve_skory Chapters (00:00:00) - How to Be Busy vs Making Progress(00:02:28) - Busy Entrepreneurs: The Secret to Success(00:10:19) - How to Get Out of Busyness(00:13:37) - Coaching vs. Coaching(00:19:24) - Not All People Are Coachable(00:22:11) - Looking for a Coach who Will Work With You

    If Sales Isn't Exciting Anymore...Watch This

    In this episode, Genevieve shares the number one thing people tell her after speaking engagements: “We used to do that.” The frustrating part? They’re usually talking about the exact behaviors that created growth in the first place. So why do people stop doing what works? Genevieve says it’s often not a strategy issue—it’s boredom. She walks through the early “organized chaos” phase of business where adrenaline, excitement, and emotional highs drive momentum. The problem is that this teaches your nervous system to mislabel confidence as a feeling you need to chase. When your business matures and systems start working, growth can feel calm—and calm can feel “wrong” if you’re addicted to urgency. Genevieve reframes boredom as a sign of progress: when it feels quiet and things are working, that’s the point. This episode is a call to stop manufacturing drama, stop offer-hopping, and stop chasing stimulation. Instead, lean into calm confidence, emotional regulation, and leadership presence—the skills that create sustainable sales and consistent growth. If you’re in the “boring but working” phase, this doesn’t need fixing. It needs trust.

    This Wasn’t the Plan… But It Worked

    Genevieve welcomes her first-ever podcast guest, career and life coach Rikki Schwartz, for a real conversation about resilience, reinvention, and values-based career decisions. Rikki shares her “hero’s journey” from pursuing a “safe” path (physical therapy) to realizing—painfully—that it wasn’t aligned… and walking away even though she was nearly finished. She eventually built a high-level corporate career (Ford → Waste Management), rising to Vice President, leading large teams and revenue… until one day she was laid off after 17 years. From there, Rikki discovered career coaching, the power of structure and “homework,” and eventually launched her own practice: My Turn Life Coaching—helping people move through denial, grief, fear, and identity loss so they can rebuild with clarity. This episode is for anyone who: feels stuck in a “secure” path that’s draining them was laid off or sidelined and is questioning their value is considering entrepreneurship but wants the real truth needs a framework to reconnect with their strengths and values Connect with Rikki: My Turn Life Coaching https://www.myturnlifecoaching.com RESOURCES Free 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system) https://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/about Subscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results) https://newsletter.gskory.com/ Visit my website https://gskory.com Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DoTheDoToday Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/genevieve_skory Chapters (00:00:01) - The Inaugural Guest on the Podcast(00:01:38) - How to start a business with a minimum degree(00:06:53) - How to End Your Career with a Purpose(00:11:04) - Getting out of the Physical Therapy Program(00:13:13) - What Advice Do You Have For Starting a Business?(00:14:10) - What is a Value Proposition for your Resume?(00:14:39) - Your DNA and How to Use It(00:19:24) - The Safety Affliction(00:23:12) - The Importance of Alignment in Your Career(00:25:55) - Ricky Schwartz on Looking Back on His Life(00:28:56) - What Advice Do You Have For Job Seekers?
