Show Notes

Community has been the most important component for me in growing Speaking Your Brand over the past two years, from online masterminds I’ve been a part of to local women’s business groups I’ve joined.

In this episode, my guest Kat Mendenhall shares how community and mentors have been instrumental in helping her with her businesses.

We also talk about how to turn passion into a profitable business (and what the key ingredient is).

Kat is the creator of a company that makes gorgeous cruelty-free cowboy boots and she recently opened a boutique in Dallas called Mend RT vegan retail therapy.

Highlights:

  • Turning passion into a profitable business
  • The value of taking risks
  • Saying yes to everything
  • The different types of mentors you should have
  • The importance of knowing your values and standards

You'll create and refine high-impact Signature Stage Segments - the kind that set you apart as a speaker; practice onstage multiple times with our expert coaching and feedback; and professionally film your dynamic segments in front of a warm, supportive audience so you have edited video and a speaker reel to show event organizers what you can do.

Our retreat is limited to 12 women, so get all the details and request your place at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/live/.
