Surrender. We hear this word so much but what does it mean in business?⁠⁠But how do you tell someone who's out to build an empire to "surrender" without making them cringe? ⁠How can a word that often causes us to feel powerless, like we've given up actually make us stronger entrepreneurs with more clarity and control over our businesses? This solo podcast with host GiGi Diaz dives into this topic and plays with the idea that surrender can make up better entrepreneurs.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word, “money”? How about…”debt”?Today, we’re going to talk about debt, and how to get the hell out of it. Whether you’re working full-time as an entrepreneur or from the corporate world, debt plays a role in your ability to succeed. It's an important topic to talk about and tackle but we often shy away from it cause - lets get real - debt sucks and thinking about it is definitely triggering. Erin Skye Kelly, is a total boss babe, she’s bringing actionable steps to Get the Hell out of Debt. She is a bestselling and award-winning author, keynote speaker, podcast host and entrepreneur. Her new book launched on July 20, 2021. “Get the Hell Out of Debt'' teaches financial literacy in a way that is approachable, entertaining and inspiring. Erin’s resources have helped thousands of people pay off millions of dollars in personal debt, and are inspired by her deeply personal journey of regaining financial freedom. Though she is the former owner of a mortgage brokerage, Erin found herself with over $2 million of personal debt. Erin enlisted the help of financial professionals but grew frustrated when their debt consolidation and refinancing solutions only made the problem worse. Instead of paying off debt with debt, Erin set out on a mission to truly understand how money works. In “Get the Hell Out of Debt,” Erin recorded her findings and her financial advice, along with a healthy dose of love and laughter.
