Feeling all kinds of I*N*S*P*O

I run a small business and have been listening to this podcast because I absolutely love the mix of self help, inspiration, practical tools, and business growth.

Alexis has such a natural way of talking, interviewing and weaving in some humor! It makes me feel like I’m sitting down to coffee with her and the guest during each episode.

This podcast has guided me toward learning about my inner creative calling, learning and implementing how to use very practical marketing and business strategies, and hearing sage advice from women all over the world who run their own business.

When you are a business owner, it can feel lonely and overwhelming- even if you try to handle things with grace. This podcast has taught me how to embrace playfulness, create more of a game plan to invest in my marketing, and how to pick myself up when I have fallen down from a lesson/mistake.

I’m so grateful for this podcast, Alexis brings life and authentic energy toward being able to manage business and life decisions!! Don’t miss out!!

Positive Shining Light!!

Alexis is such a positive shining light! So many ideas and support for so many of us in the changing Hollywood life! I’ve been in the business for 30+ years and feel blindsided as well as all my friends. Listening to this amazing woman is inspiring and makes you think!!! Thank you!!!

So Needed

I am loving this podcast. As an industry professional myself in process of making a pivot, I love having this podcast to reference and gain insight from. Alexis is such a fabulous host. The podcast quality is also so well done. I am truly grateful to have this thoughtful space for inspiration and knowledge when leaving the entertainment industry. If you are in that boat or really any industry and want to pivot it’s definitely worth a listen.
