Loved this one! It’s so funny because I’ve been following you (Jess) for some years now. Then my friend JUST introduced me to Myleik yesterday and then this podcast came out. So then I introduced my friend to you! I do not believe in coincidence but divine connections. I’m so inspired now I can hardly contain it! And I Love the diversification. I always wanted to see more women of color on your show!
I love that these moments of divine connection happened for you so quickly right around the launch of this show! That’s awesome and I’m so glad you enjoyed Myleik on the show, she’s incredible. : )
I’ve been loving listening to these interviews. It’s so inspiring to hear about the challenges and successes that other entrepreneurs face as we navigate this together! Thank you! 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed the episode!!
Two thumbs up for this episode. I love Myleik’s story- she’s so inspiring!
Amen! I couldn’t agree more.
I loved this episode and the blogcast’s summer plans are phenomenal! I cannot wait to hear what you have in store for us this June concerning money. This could not have come at a better time!!
That’s so great to hear! Also, if you want more money conversations, you can also sort the Lively Show episodes by the topic of money if you go to thelivelyshow.com and click the money topic button – there are about 4-5 episodes already that cover different aspects of $ that won’t be addressed this June. : )
Love Myleik and I’m so glad to have found you through her. I am binge listening to your podcasts.
I’m so glad you enjoyed getting to know Myleik and that you’re enjoying the other shows as well! : )
Thank you Jess & Myleik! This podcast was awesome! Looking forward to the summer series! For those who liked this podcast here is a great article I found with highlights from Myleik’s podcasts: http://thinkandgrowchick.com/mentor-head-53-life-lessons-myleik-curlbox-ceo/
Thank you so much for sharing this article, Sara!
I know, I’m so sorry about that! I’ve written Stitcher about this – I have no idea why it’s stopped working a few times over the past year. I’ll keep reaching out to them so it will hopefully be resolved soon.
