    Selling doesn’t have to feel like a cringe-worthy, pushy experience—especially when done with confidence and authenticity. In this episode, we’re flipping the script on sales with Conor Brown, founder of Vacation Kingdoms and co-host of this show. Conor has mastered the art of turning conversations into meaningful client relationships, and he’s sharing how you can do the same.

He explains why it’s easy to promote someone else’s brand but often difficult to confidently sell our own work. Through mindset shifts and practical strategies, he breaks down how to sell without feeling salesy—so you can focus on helping your customers instead of second-guessing yourself.
