This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Gray, an attorney whose passion is guiding entrepreneurs through the legal side of building a business.  Melissa walks us through her career journey — from serving as general counsel at a billion-dollar company to starting her own law firm. Her firm is dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and getting them set up properly with things like contracts, trademarks, and business formations from the get-go. One piece of advice Melissa emphasized? Don't just operate on handshake deals with partners or clients. She’s seen too many entrepreneurs come to her after issues arise because they didn't have proper documentation in place. Getting the right agreements drafted upfront can save you major headaches down the road. As a mom of three young kids, Melissa also shares her experience with entrepreneurship with a family. She emphasizes that to be successful, you need to be willing to ask for help, whether that's hiring someone or leaning on family and friends to give you a helping hand if possible. Melissa brings a wealth of knowledge not just on the legal nuances entrepreneurs should know, but also the importance of taking a proactive approach and finding balance as a parent.  Key Topics: Making the decision to go to law school  Finding a career that balances the left and right brain What happens after law school? What is the bar? Lifting the curtain in independently running your own law firm Bridging the gap between DIY and large law firms The biggest challenges Melissa helps her clients face  Learning to lean on your network when starting a business Delegating what you don’t have time for as a parent Work hard while your kids are young to free up your time later The highs and lows of parenthood Connect with Melissa online: Website: https://thelawspot.com/ Instagram: @thelawspot_ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-gray-72335947/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

Everyone loves a good personality test. Maybe you used to scour Buzzfeed for new quizzes to learn what your favorite cheese says about you or perhaps took an online IQ test one too many times, there’s a quiz out there for everyone wanting to learn more about themselves.    One of the most popular in the mix is Myers-Briggs, or MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This test has been around for a while now, with many people retaking it over the years to see how their personality types have changed (if at all).    But one major advantage to this particular personality test is that it can teach us a lot about our passions, goals, and even careers. Maybe you’re an ISFJ who is more introverted, but also warm and kindhearted with a desire to help others. This says a lot about the careers you not only gravitate to, but about the ones you could potentially pursue for ultimate happiness.    So this week, we’re doing a little deep dive into the Myers-Briggs world to see what types of careers your personality type could unlock for you. If you don’t know your personality type and want to follow along, be sure to take the test and then come back to find out what career path might be best for you.     Key Topics: What is MBTI? The 4 dichotomies of the MBTI Extrovert vs. Introvert Sensing vs. Intuition Judging vs. Perceiving The most common personality types and the careers they excel in The rarest, most contradictory personality type The highest and lowest earners by personality type The earnings potential throughout life, based on personality Take the Myers-Briggs Personality test here: https://www.16personalities.com/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

In the sales community, you’ll hear the phrase, “You can’t teach sales” a lot. Many believe that sales is something that you either have, or you don’t, and it’s a matter of innate talent rather than a practiced skill.    But according to Ron Earley, that’s just not true. Instead, he’s built his business around teaching and mentoring others to sell confidently, even if it doesn’t come naturally. Now, he has a six-figure business and the nickname “The Sales God” to prove that sales can, in fact, be taught.   In this episode, we take a deeper look into Ron’s life from his rocky introduction to sales and entrepreneurship, the risky investment that changed everything for him, some of his top sales tips and strategies, and what he’s up to now with Grey Wolfe Investing.    If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur but the idea of sales intimidates you, this episode will give you the confidence to adopt a different mindset and jumpstart your own success story today.        Key Topics: Starting out in the fitness industry Ron’s first hit-and-miss with entrepreneurship The risky investment that changed his career trajectory forever Deciding to mentor others to learn how to be successful in sales Finding the sales sweet spot within a niche Serotonin stories, dopamine stories, and endorphin stories What is FBA?

Choosing a career can be complicated. When we’re young, we have our whole lives ahead of us, but that can often feel suffocating or intimidating for students who aren’t sure what they want, but are being pressured to make important decisions before they’re ready.    That’s why our guest this week, Beth Probst, set out to change the course of career prep for teenagers for good. She saw that kids as early as middle school needed comprehensive guidance to figure out what really makes them tick and wanted to give them the tools they need to explore on their own.   In this episode, we talk about what career development tactics are actually helpful to teenagers, what kids can do to prepare for college, and how Beth’s company has developed tools that actually help kids set themselves up for career success all the way through college.    If you’re still in school, or a parent of a child who is starting to think about what their future will look like, this episode will give you the guidance to start preparing for the future now.     Key Topics: Using joyful exploration to help kids figure out what makes them tick Starting a career in tech as a sales engineer and moving up the corporate ladder Preparation + opportunity = luck Failure is feedback Transitioning from the safety of a stable job to entrepreneurship Getting to the core of teenagers’ needs, skills, strengths, and values Hiring others to help with the work vs. doing all the work yourself The benefits of the test and learn mentality Filling the need for educational path planning for kids Kids are extremely skeptical of the value of higher education How to leave college with marketable skills that get you hired Combating career illiteracy Getting kids to be willing and open to receive guidance on career planning Internships vs. co-ops Easing the transition from college to career Connect with Beth online: Website: https://www.gettingatthecore.com/ Instagram: @gettingatthecore Linkedin (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethprobst/ Linkedin (Business): https://www.linkedin.com/company/at-the-core-llc/ Find more from Courtney Page: Instagram: @courtneyaustinpage Website: https://www.glowstatecoach.com/ Interested in 1:1 Coaching or Hiring Courtney for a Speaking Engagement or Workshop?

It’s a stressful world we live in, and one that’s even harder to navigate if you’re a young girl.    This week’s guest, Dr. Tim Jordan, uses his pediatric medicine expertise to help girls cut through that noise to learn how to build self-trust, self-worth, and a strong intuition to guide them through life.

But with the right attitude and tools, the average person can turn their financial future around faster than they realize.   Annie Yang wants to challenge the stereotype that millennials must delay important milestones due to financial setbacks and teach people practical tips for saving money and staying out of debt. She doesn’t tell people to just stop eating out or buying unnecessary things; she wants to reach those who might already be making those sacrifices and still struggling, because she’s been there, too.    Annie has had a rollercoaster of job experience since she graduated high school and decided to delay college, but all of those experiences taught her to save up, be resourceful, and never rely on others to dictate her financial future.

When we find ourselves in a toxic workplace environment, we naturally look for relief and an escape from work stress elsewhere. People will often gravitate toward meditation, yoga, wellness retreats, or pretty much anything to take their minds off of what’s happening at work.    After all, we spend the majority of our days working, commuting, and stressing about our jobs. So if that becomes toxic or unhealthy, it’s normal to seek an escape. But what happens when those wellness efforts turn toxic, too?   This week, I’m exploring at what point wellness becomes toxic and how to prevent your escape from becoming more hurtful than helpful. If you’ve ever felt pressured by wellness trends, fad diets, or felt like your efforts are too imperfect to maintain, this episode is for you!   We all need wellness in our lives, but we don’t want that to become another source of stress and discomfort. So join me to learn some ways you can achieve more balance in your life.  Key Topics: Toxic workplaces vs. toxic wellness How the wellness industry markets “relief” from unhappiness At what point does wellness become toxic?

Unless you’re living under a rock, you’re probably aware that the fashion and beauty industries have some major issues with animal cruelty and sustainability. It’s unfortunately part of the current reality behind many major fashion and beauty brands.    But fortunately for us, there are people like our guest, Suveria Mota, who are looking to change that. With a lifelong passion for fashion and shoes fueled by her parents’ careers at Tiffany’s and Macy’s, she’s putting her dreams to work to remove animal cruelty from the fashion industry.   It wasn’t (and isn’t) an easy dream to make a reality — she couldn’t even find a shoe factory at first to produce her designs. But with tenacity and determination, she now has her own eco-friendly luxury fashion brand that she’s looking to expand and compete with major fashion retailers.   Suveria’s story is a fascinating example of the accidental entrepreneur that can teach us about getting over imposter syndrome and pushing for our dreams no matter what. Key Topics: Fashion has been an influence from the beginning Trying to make it in the acting business in LA The documentary that changed her outlook on fashion Identifying a gap in the market for luxury vegan footwear Receiving the first vegan shoe samples that launched her business There’s no such thing as a wasted experience Why shoes?

Networking is one of those dirty words in life that always elicits eye-rolls and groans. But it remains one of the most valuable and useful ways to get into doors that might not otherwise open through traditional job applications and interviews.   While we often view networking as rubbing elbows at a dinner party or attending boring networking events, it’s not always like that. More often, it’s friends we meet throughout life, either through an early job, a family friend, or even a parent at our kids’ school.
