Find Your Tribe Annie Weller

This week I have the amazing Sarah from Another Mother Runner. Sarah and her business partner started their business in 2010 after co-writing Run Like a Mother together. Putting yourself out there and being vulnerable is important to growing your business but one of the greatest gifts we can receive as business owners is help! As Steve Jobs said, "Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people."

This week is one of my oldest friends from my crazy and wild days in the entertainment industry. I can truly say that Kermet is one of the nicest, most special, awesome dude in the entire world. I love the fact that he walks his talk when it comes to his personal and professional life.

In this episode, I have the amazing Abigale Otchere from the Motivational Mondays Podcast. She shares words of wisdom and inspiration from across the pond…in fact she is was in China when we recorded this episode! We discussed needing to find who we are and how to get motivated, finding strength and confronting challenges and our conversation reminded me of an episode with Sam the Therapist, Recognizing Strengths and Confronting Challenges.
