What happens when you stop treating your story as something private and start seeing it as one of your most valuable leadership and business assets?

In this conversation, I sit down with publisher, entrepreneur, and storyteller Laura DiFranco to explore the connection between personal storytelling, community, and business growth. Laura shares how she built Brave Healer Productions from a small group of colleagues into a global community of thousands of authors, and why meaningful collaboration can transform both our work and our sense of purpose.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why storytelling creates connection in ways expertise alone often cannot

• How community can make ambitious projects feel less overwhelming

• The surprising emotional impact of sharing your story publicly

• Where the line exists between vulnerability and oversharing

Your next breakthrough, connection, or opportunity may begin with the courage to put your experiences into words. Tune in!

AI is everywhere right now, but are we using it the right way? In this episode, I sit down with web developer, SEO expert, and longtime Leading Lady Ambassador Chrissy Rey to have an honest conversation about what AI can and cannot do for business owners. We explore why AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity, the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when using it, and how to avoid creating content that feels robotic, generic, or disconnected from your authentic voice.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why some people love AI while others want nothing to do with it

• The biggest mistake business owners make when using AI

• How to train AI so it actually sounds like you

• The surprising way AI can create information that never existed

• Why publishing AI content without editing can hurt your business

• How AI can become a powerful thinking partner instead of just a writing tool

• What AI reveals about your messaging when it's completely wrong

• How SEO and AI are becoming more connected than most people realize

If you've been wondering how AI fits into your business, this episode is a practical place to start!
