The Film Festival Doctor - Rebekah Smith
Friday Jan 29, 2021
Friday Jan 29, 2021
Are you really doing what you love? Are you fulfilling your soul purpose? Our next guest found out her soul purpose, thankfully before it was too late!
Rebekah Louisa Smith was earning her PhD, headed to the life of an academic. She had a plan completely mapped out until one day at a conference someone gushed about life as an academic and suddenly she realized, it wasn’t her passion. She didn’t gush over teaching film!
But fortunately, she was also simultaneously working at the Abertoir Horror Festival in Wales, traveling around to festivals all over Europe, gaining a tremendous amount of knowledge about film festivals, as she recruited filmmakers to the prestigious horror festival. She began giving advice to filmmakers who wanted to get into more festivals, win awards and gain visibility that would lead to sales revenue. Then it hit her, that’s what she loved doing! She had a marketable skill that she could turn into a business. Rebekah ultimately became recognized worldwide as The Film Festival Doctor, an innovator in her field. Her company has won more than 800 awards for her clients and has supported 850 creatives to achieve their filmmaking dreams.
In today’s episode we learn more about Rebekah’s amazing career, and how she realized that her “hobby” could truly become her life-long dream career. She also talks about how her super-niche view allowed her to create a market that was just waiting to be discovered.
In her new book, Born to Do It: Becoming the Leader of a Business Niche Using Powerful Spiritual Techniques (https://amzn.to/3fhm1Xb), Rebekah wants to save you the same headaches she experienced, and she provides a roadmap to business success that embraces the spiritual principles that righted her ship. It’s a book for someone just contemplating the entrepreneurial journey or for anyone already growing a business that is struggling or in need of revitalization.

Generating Referrals Without Asking - Stacey Brown-Randall
Monday Jan 25, 2021
Monday Jan 25, 2021
Would you like to know how to generate double, triple or even quadruple the number of business referrals you receive each year, without having to ask (or beg) for them? Our next guest helps her clients do just that.
Stacey Brown Randall is the multiple award-winning author of Generating Business Referrals Without Asking (https://amzn.to/2H9C78M), host of the Roadmap to Grow Your Business podcast, and national speaker. She has had the privilege of helping well-known corporations and franchises but her focus is on small business owners and solopreneurs in the real estate, financial, and professional services industries.
In today’s episode we talk about how “asking” for referrals is not only uncomfortable but is ultimately an unsustainable practice. She built her methodology by using her own coaching company as a guinea pig, and knew she was on to something when her clients were even more interested in her referral generating methods than in her coaching services. She also reminds us that it is important for all of us to incorporate business development, every single day.
Stacey has been featured in national publications like Entrepreneur magazine, Investor Business Daily, Forbes, CEO World, Fox News and more. She received her Master’s in Organizational Communication and is married with three kids.

Constant Course Corrections - Jodi Hume
Monday Jan 18, 2021
Monday Jan 18, 2021
Have you ever wondered if there was someone you could call, in a pinch, that would give you excellent business advice without any judgement? Our next guest does exactly that!
After a 15-year career as COO of a growing architecture firm, Jodi Hume shifted gears and made a name for herself over the last decade providing on-call decision support and facilitated leadership conversations for startup founders and entrepreneurs throughout the United States, Europe and Australia.
In this episode we have a frank conversation about why some people create boxes for themselves that they can’t get out of when they feel they have no one to go to. We also talk about the keen differences between trying so hard to hustle that you burn yourself out. (sneak preview, we discuss reminding ourselves that we are our own Golden Goose, and if you really did own a Golden Goose, you wouldn’t burn it out. You would pamper it!)
While Jodi works 1:1 with a small number of clients, she also convenes roundtable conversations for entrepreneurs, and each week, and she co-hosts So, Here’s My Story… a podcast built from real, honest, business stories with poignant take-aways and plenty of humor. You can also find her at the mic as lead singer of her band, The Wafflers – and if you ask nicely, she might tell you about the time she one 1st place in a Truck Pull.
