My guest this week started his entrepreneurial journey early. By the time Ty Bennett was 21, he and his brother had created a multi-million dollar direct sales business. He was drawn to leadership training and public speaking. He sold his half of the business to his brother and pursued speaking and writing professionally. His books The Power of Storytelling, The Power of Influence, and Partnership is the New Leadership showcase his innate understanding of business leadership. He attributes his faith as a guiding influence in his career and his family life.
My guest this week is an Author, Coach, Speaker, Mother, and one of my favorite people on the planet, Amy Ahlers. For almost two decades, she has provided coaching and empowerment to people, leaders, and companies such as Google and Oracle. Her books, Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves and Reform Your Inner Mean Girl are both bestsellers. Her podcast and her Inner Mean Girl Reform School, Find Your Calling and Lift Off Business Academy programs help women (and us men too) find balance and success in life and in business and tune into their voice of truth.
