In this episode, Candace Sanchez interviews Wendy Babcock, a TedX speaker, author, podcast host, humorist, and founder of SLAM networking. Wendy shares her very personal story of childhood abuse and how she overcame challenges into adulthood to become a successful entrepreneur.

Candace and Wendy discuss the dysfunction, trust issues, and importance of family support in abuse situations. Being vulnerable, talking about it, and sharing your story are important in overcoming trauma and abuse.

Candace and Wendy speak their truth and encourage others to become the best versions of themselves.

Episode Highlights:

03:33 When I share my story, it affects the other people that I am close to, people who were around me during those times.

04:00 Your past should not define who you’re meant to be.

06:42 My self esteem issues were bred out of that situation.

07:26 Fear - I just felt like I grew up between my childhood to my first marriage in just chronic fear.

09:06 I had this whole idea of what marriage should be and what it would look like.

12:16 You can survive whatever storm you’re going through and you can rise to your occasion and be the best version that you can be.

In this episode, Wendy Babcock and Cyrina Talbott talk about the different norms of being an entrepreneur. Cyrina shares her experience about what it’s like to be an entrepreneur in this day of age. They talk about different topics relating to the subject such as imposter syndrome and authenticity.

The two women also share their experience of being an entrepreneur during the pandemic and how that changed their mindset and perspectives.

Episode Highlights:

03:29 I think we have imposter syndrome because we think this is what an entrepreneur should be. We think things should look a certain way.

05:38 It’s a big ask for entrepreneurs to be themselves, it’s scary to be the real me and maybe you won’t like it.

08:32 I think when we share about unusual topics and talk about these things, there’s a hunger and a need for it.

10:29 I think it's really interesting that as far as the mindset of an entrepreneur, it's almost like we knock them off of that perfection peg a little bit.

18:24 The other thing that I've been realizing is we don't have to be all the things.

In this very special episode, Susan Trumpler and Melissa Blair talk about what it’s like to work with someone in your family - in particular, their daughters Lindsay Trumpler and Stephanie Blair, who join in on the conversation.

Melissa started her journey with a sales training business she started with her mother. Now she is working with her daughter, Stephanie, in their business Cultivating Sales.

Susan’s daughter, Lindsay Trumpler, has been a business partner in Beyond ROI for over 10 years, measuring the impact of sales training.

These mother-daughter teams let you in on the challenges of working with your family, managing the change in relationship dynamics when you go from family to business partner and co-worker, and figuring out how to stay in your lane. They share the importance of setting and respecting each other's boundaries and recognizing different work styles and how to learn from each other.

Episode Highlights:

04:08 One of the silver linings of covid was, she was finishing up her freshman year in college and I said come home, I’ll give you work to do for the summer and it’s all history from there.

05:53 It’s amazing that someone - at the time, 19 years old, now you’re 20 almost 21 - she gets sales and marketing.

07:08 I was good at a lot of things that she hated, and it was a natural fit, but certainly not an easy fit.

08:25 We had to figure out whose lane was whose. Whose responsibility was this or that. I think there was a lot of stepping on toes for a while.

11:40 I grew up a workaholic. You were of no value unless you worked too much.

12:07 I value my “me” time much more than Susan might. I value moving your body daily and not sitting at your desk for 10-12 hours straight. I make that a priority no matter what my calendar looks like.
