Into The Wild

My guest today is Erin Bury. In the decade I have known her, I've watched her grow from a PR/marketing gal to an empowered, successful entrepreneur. She worked at a tech start-up in Toronto before becoming a prolific writer and speaker. She also managed and grew an agency whose revenue she quadrupled in a matter of years before now co-founding her own start-up with her husband. She is the co-founder of Willful, an online estate planning platform that makes it easy for Canadians to create a will in less than 20 minutes. At Willful she's responsible for driving the company's mission to make it easier for Canadians to prepare for and deal with death in a digital age. Erin also keeps business in the family as her other company, The County Wine Tours, offers bicycle tours of Prince Edward County. Her father acts as one of the tour guides. In This Episode, You Will Learn About: How Erin's mother, a fellow marketing guru, has influenced her with great advice like "positivity is a choice" The pressures and obstacles of running a business based on an uncomfortable topic like estate planning Her biggest mistake early on was not understanding the finance and funding side of a start-up Why she recommends getting a business coach, especially for first-time owners Her journey from journalism grad to entrepreneur How Erin started seeing problems as things she could solve instead of leaving them for others The importance of personal branding and how it ties to success Why she believes in providing value to facilitate connections in her networks Learning to lead: leaning into who you are as a person and motivating through empowerment over fear The inherent masculinity of leadership and perceived weakness of empathy Financing your start-up: why it's important to understand investor types for seeking funding Understanding and planning your business model The intimidation factor and how to beat it Why revenue is sexy How Erin and her husband successfully navigate their own 'swim lanes' at the company for a harmonious home and work-life balance Resources: Willful website: Willful The County Wine Tours website: The County Wine Tours Twitter: ​@erinbury LinkedIn: ​Erin Bury Instagram: ​Erin Bury Public shout outs: Venture Deals: Brad Fields What it means to be a WILD woman: "Own your choices, make the decision and get outside your comfort zone." ~ Erin Bury -------- Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

Hey you wild women! Today I am joined by Sarah Stanley. I connected with Sarah through her impressive marathon and ultra-running background. Sarah used the knowledge she learned from farming, as a sponsored ultra-endurance athlete and health, wellness, and nutrition expert. Sarah runs the bakery 'Hannah Cakes', using her childhood growing up on an organic farm to make delicious treats that are healthy and nourishing too! The products she creates are top 9 allergen-free (no gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, corn, or shellfish). She has run countless marathons and is the author of Live Freely: Six Weeks to Detox Your Mind, Body, Spirit, Money, Home and Life. Not only does she participate in marathons and run her bakery, she also runs her life. Sarah has an almost 2-year-old boy at home, and she involves him in every part of her day. He helps her as she bakes while she teaches him valuable life skills to help him as he grows up.

In this episode, you will learn: In the early days, you had to work harder, and later, and longer than anyone especially because you are a woman Most business owners start their business because they love what they do, however when first starting, they typically emulate what already exists Copying what already exists is 'safe,' but it does not differentiate you from the competition Three strategic choices in business: 1) Choose to be the noisemaker, 2) To be the lowcost leader 3) Disruptive Cure: To create a solution in your industry that isn't already being offered, it's a much-needed difference Great branding is about creating an anti-story Companies who thrive have a disruptive cure A great logo is about what it is you want t to evoke A great brand can save your business identity "I found the start of a wave, and I rode it." - Shep Gordon You must understand what customers want and what is next Coming out of COVID, what are people going to want/crave? Focus on that as a stepping stone Typically you need to evolve your brand every few years Build your brand around a story The people you hire are an extension of your brand It's ok to wear a mask if you don't have the confidence yet What it means to be a WILD woman: "Unbridled, untethered woman who makes her own rules and who is unapologetic about what she wants." ~ Lara McCulloch, branding expert -------- Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

You become a millionaire for the person you become in the process." Not trusting that you know what to offer was one of her biggest business mistakes Oppression is not our fault Patriarchy Stress Disorder = PSD Traumatic experiences are genetically transmitted We carry traumas throughout life Women have been carrying trauma for thousands of years Everything that was every 'wrong' with women, stems from thousands of years of oppression We don't have role models in the world of women living authentically PSD does not correlate from our accomplishment Nothing is wrong with women, it's not about the mindset, it's much deeper Trauma is any experience that made you feel unsafe, that led to you building trauma adaptions to make you feel safe A woman's power has always been a punishable offense Women want to be free. It is what we desire! Everything in our culture reinforces PSD, instead of making it better Be everything that you are here to be because that gives your children permission to do it too Our actions are decided in our subconscious She calls BS on 'money mindset issues' because the reality is that it wasn't until the 80's that women could take out a loan without having a male counterpart co-sign The biggest unconscious privilege of men, in this culture, is being believed in Fear of failure keeps women in her safe cell What is holding us back is not personal, it's the patriarchy 75-90% of autoimmune cases are in women Public shoutouts: Marianne Williamson: A Woman's Worth Meryl Streep on Instagram Resources: Website: https://www.drvalerie.com/ Book: Patriarchy Stress Disorder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drvalerierein/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drvalerierein Being a wild woman means: "The woman who disobeys.

Hey you wild women! My next guest has fifteen years of experience in education, starting as an ESL teacher before joining a private school as an admission and outreach director. Her experiences traveling while home-educating had her questioning her past beliefs around parenting, how we learn, and the education system. It also highlighted the need for community. This led her to launch her podcast Honey! I'm Homeschooling the Kids, which is a platform to share ideas, stories and information about the joys and challenges of home education and self-directed learning. The podcast also serves as a place to bring together a collective voice for change in the broader education system. Currently, she's an unschooling mom of two, podcast host, and school board trustee. I asked Robyn to join me on Into The Wild because, during the time of the recording we have been asked to self-isolate and stay home. Because of this, we are now all homeschooling and trying to work from home. In This Episode, You Will Learn About: Many parents are now suddenly homeschooling and working from home We are all on this journey, whether we realize it or not we all make a difference in the world and why we are here is to complete that journey Her reason for homeschooling: To not have to stick to a schedule so that we can travel Our brain needs to be constantly learning in order to maintain our brain health Our natural curiosity become undermined as we enter the school system If we keep that curiosity going throughout life, we will be more confident Don't look to someone else to give you your meaning Homeschooling is like a mirror being held up to you You have to trust yourself My biggest mistake was trying to recreate school at home Letting your kids know that you don't know everything To have confident learners are a reflection between positive self-beliefs, motivation, and autonomy We are expecting our kids to be very independent right now, and many have never had the chance to. So we need to give them, and us parents, some grace, to be more independent Homeschooling also involves learning lifeskills.

Today I am speaking to a lady who has helped thousands of women achieve their weight loss and health goals their own way. From her home in a tiny east coast town, she is now helping hundreds of members from all over the world lose weight and live a more balanced life, their way. She believes that accountability is the glue that ties commitment to the result. Her community is over 1500 members-strong and growing. Growing her business at the same time as raising her family, she has encountered her own entrepreneurial vs. parenting challenges, all while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Josée Cormier is the founder of Your Way Weight Loss, which focuses on strategies, guidance, and accountability for weight loss success. Just skimming her Instagram account is WOW! The transformations her clients have had from working with her and her team are unreal. I know some of these women myself, and they've all said that it's been the BEST program they've ever tried. In this episode, you'll learn: Every choice matters Weight loss is a byproduct of doing Your Way Weight loss (Josee's program.) Working on a can-do mindset is the real success factor in a lifestyle change. Changing someone mindset is the first step to losing weight How to not let your beliefs limit you How to not put things on hold because you are a mom That mistakes are just bad choices and the best lessons learned That thinking you're the only person that can run your business is a limiting belief Starting a company based on a huge need is the ultimate success. If you're in it only for the money, you won't succeed You must create accountability for yourself to perform at your best. You can't always rely on others. To be a wild woman means to stop hiding!

It's really difficult to translate the things you do for other people with your own business. That's why excellent copywriting can take away the ambiguity in what you do or offer. My guest today, Abbey Woodcock, explains that copywriting is important from day one and that copy that's done well doesn't feel like copy, it's a conversation. In this episode you will learn about: Where you look is what you find Look to where you want to go "Not everything is a revenue event, but everything is a relationship event." - Brian Kurtz Don't think about the revenue that potentially comes from your network, think about the relationships Biggest mistake in launching a live event We have so much to offer the world than just raising children Equal opportunities for women means that we have to contribute in our own way Women can do anything! Interviewed an NYC state governor with her kid on her side Girl power! (Emergency doctor taking calls with a baby on her back.) Copywriting is important from day #1 Copy that's done well doesn't feel like copy, it's a conversation Wherever you're showing up in your business, you want that voice to be consistent It's ALL about your voice Common myths in copywriting Myth: if your product is amazing, you don't need copy. You still have to persuade It's an obligation to have good persuasion if your product is amazing Add curiosity in email The better you get at something the more imposter syndrome you will have (Dunning Kruger) Imposter syndrome is a sign that you're being ethical in your business The more you learn about a topic the more you realize you don't know Public shout outs: Be Present Box: www.familyacademy.co/bepresentbox Brian Kurtz Resources: Learn more: https://freelancecoop.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbeywoodcock/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abbeywoodcockinc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lifeandwriting Book: https://www.amazon.com/What-They-Hear-When-Write-ebook/dp/B07SLNBDBW/ ---------- Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

In this episode, I speak with Kareen Walsh, founder of Revampologist, you will learn that getting clarity about your small business is about the why and what. Your strategy shows you how. Don't build your business on the how or else you will always be hung up on that. To be successful in business, you need to stay nimble, check-in with yourself every 90-days, and get very clear on what actions you need to take daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. You will also learn that the first two action steps towards building a higher level of fulfillment as you go after achieving your goals are to 1. Get clarity around what you really want and, 2. put a strategy together to achieve it. And always keep your eye on the goal.

Taking your first step into starting your business is insanely intimidating. What do you do? What is the first thing you set up? A logo, a website? Do I do my own bookkeeping, should I incorporate? WHAT? When I started one of my first digital businesses back in 2007 I thought that branding was the most important thing. So I spent money on a logo, started blogging like crazy, put SO much time into setting up the virtual storefront, but no one came! I really didn't know much back then to be honest. Today, I am an award-winning entrepreneur and grew my previous company to over $1 million! ---------- Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.
