It’s the season finale of Bold Company, and in this episode I’m sharing my own transformation with all you bold listeners. As a photographer, I’m embarking on a personal journey to unblock my creativity, which has been buried deep for a long time. I’m also making some major shifts in the way I do business. I’m moving away from the status quo of online marketing (the “sales funnel”, ie, more people = more money), and focusing on creating a new business model that is based on community and genuinely connecting with people. Listen now to hear just how I plan to make the shift, and how each guest from this season helped inspire me to make this bold move in my own business. 👇 LINKS 👇 Keep in touch on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/amy.takes.pictures Check out my website: http://www.amytakespictures.com/  

In this episode, I'm talking with Zach Spuckler who career has been characterized by "zigging when everyone else is zagging". Zach's success has been built on bold moves - like walking away from his 7-figure business as a course creator to start a new endeavour as a Facebook ads agency. At a time when all the experts were pushing a "one-to-many" approach to business, Zach flipped his business to a one-to-one service-based model, because that's the way he wanted to work with people. Zach's story is one of trusting in yourself, your instincts, and not following the money, but knowing that the money will follow you. 👇 LINKS 👇 Zach on the internet: http://www.heartsoulhustle.com/ Zach's podcast: http://www.heartsoulhustle.com/blogs My episode on Zach's podcast: http://www.heartsoulhustle.com/blogs/hsh-118-how-to-crush-5-day-challenges-with-amy-eaton Zach on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartsoulhustle/ Zach on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heartsoulhustle

In episode eight of Bold Company, I’m speaking with my friend Mai-Kee Tsang. Mai-Kee’s road to entrepreneurship was paved with tremendous challenge. Everything, from her upbringing as a “good little Asian” girl to a horrendously abusive relationship as a young adult, Mai-Kee was essentially trained to be obedient, and live a safe, conventional life. But her brave, warrior-woman spirit fought hard to change her story, and she has. Mai-Kee’s story is one of vulnerability, honesty, and overcoming significant adversity to live the life she was called for, and deserves. This interview is an absolute must-listen for anyone trying to grow a business and live a better life.  A special thank you to Mai-Kee for her brave vulnerability when speaking with me on Bold Company. Her story will no doubt inspire so many others on their own difficult paths to a better life.  👇 LINKS 👇 Mai-Kee's Website: www.maikeetsang.com The Quiet Rebels podcast My episode on The Quiet Rebels podcast   Mai-Kee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maikeetsang/ 👇 LET’S CONNECT! 👇 Amy on Facebook Amy on Instagram Amy on the Internet Amy on E-mail Musical credit: Happy Life by FREDJI https://soundcloud.com/fredjimusic https://www.facebook.com/fredjimusic/ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/u4PI5p5bI9k

In this episode of Bold Company, I’m chatting with my good friend, Kenney Fitzpatrick. Kenney recognized a lack of representation for music artists in the LGBTQ+ community and made it his mission to showcase the wide variety of talent in the queer community, through his podcast, music charts, playlists, YouTube channel, and more. Kenney has provided a platform for queer music artists to be heard, seen, and loved by music fans across the globe, and his project continues to grow by leaps and bounds. His commitment to bringing inclusivity to the music community is incredible, and highlights the profound impact we can make in our businesses when we make it our mission to do so.

It’s episode six of Bold Company, and I’m chatting with my good friend and fellow entrepreneur, Emily Arbour. Emily is a business powerhouse, and a huge player in the Canadian handmade business scene. She works for Etsy Canada, has her own retail shop where she sells only handmade goods, created and facilitates her Cheerfully Made craft shows in the Ottawa area (10 years running), and even was a maker herself before selling her handmade business, a line of soy candles. Oh, and she also created and launched a digital course teaching makers how to sell wholesale. Yeah. You could say she knows a thing or two about business. In this interview, we chat about the evolution of business, managing businesses during COVID-19, and so, so much more.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts." That quote by Winston Churchill basically sums up my entire conversation with my friend, Jackie Muscat. Jackie is a Facebook ads manager and marketing genius based in the UK. We have known each other for nearly 3 years, through online entrepreneur circles, and let me tell you... She's the kind of woman you want in your corner. Jackie has a brilliant mind when it comes to business, and because of that (and her charming accent), I knew I had to share her with you. In this episode we talk about the role of intuition in your business, being brave, what success really looks like, and ponder whether or not failure is even real. It's another long one, but worthy of every single minute. Enjoy! Note, this episode is rated explicit due to the use of the "F" word in reference to the name of business blog I was once featured on.
