Facebook Ads, Leadership, and Flourishing With Monica Louie

Original Air Date: October 22, 2020

I love getting to interview people who are grounded in their own genius. 

Yes, the tactical knowledge and tools that I learn about are amazing – sometimes they’re life changing. 

What I really love about these sorts of people, though, is how they emphasize the ability we all have to truly live our own greatness. 

Boldly.

This week’s guest, Monica Louie, is all of that and more. 

Monica is a Facebook and Instagram ads strategist who helps ambitious online entrepreneurs increase their impact with high-converting ads. 

You may have heard her on the Smart Passive Income Podcast, the Boss Mom Podcast, the Art of Online Business Podcast, or her own podcast, Flourish to 7 Figures. 

Along with her premium agency, Team Flourish, Louie manages ads for 6- and 7-figure online business owners, has managed more than $2 million in ad spend, and has taught hundreds to successfully run their own ads through her online training program, Flourish with Facebook Ads. 

Whether you are looking for epic strategies for running Facebook ads, or really have no interest in running an ad, you will draw something valuable from this conversation. 

Yes, we went all in on FB/IG marketing tactics. 

But we also talked about Monica’s journey from being in massive debt to building her dream company. 

Monica shared huge insights on leadership, building a team, cultivating a growth mindset, and how to bring your vision to life. 

I’m telling you – Monica is a genius, and it shines through in this interview. 

Do yourself this favor and dive into this episode. 

Yeah? 

Yeah. 

Alright then.

Work-Home Balance, Self-Ownership, and Authentic Leadership With Lucas Tindell

Original Air Date: November 2, 2020

The moment I finished this interview, I went into the next room and told Adaora: “that was the best interview ever.”

She looked at me incredulously. “You say that every single time,” she said.

I know and it’s true and for real this was epic

Let me make the case. 

Lucas and I had an honest, vulnerable, and powerful conversation. 

Right at the beginning, we discovered some similarities and connections between us that gave us both spiritual goosebumps.

That set the stage and tone for a real, honest, heart-to-heart conversation.

Lucas went on to share his powerful and inspiring journey. He was transparent about his ups and even his downs.

Lately, I’ve noticed that many people tend to paint perfect pictures of their lives where everything is always going right.

Lucas, on the other hand, shared his struggles in life and business with me – in the hopes that we could learn from the lessons that he’s had to learn the hard way.

He delivers some really valuable gifts for all of us in this interview.

I really hope you will do yourself a humongous favor and listen to this conversation.

And if you’re not already convinced that this will be one of the best hours you can spend, then let me share a little bit more about Lucas.

Lucas Tindell is an author, public speaker, corporate trainer/coach and host of a live video podcast. Lucas has spent over ten years working in key leadership positions focusing not only on organizational development but primarily on the development of people.

He now serves as a leadership development consultant, working with global leaders to identify strengths and areas of development for sustainable growth and improvement. 

Are you ready?

Let’s do this.

Gifts For You Ep. 13 Featuring Crysta Tyus and London Jones

This week we bring you our 13th episode of this series; a conversation with Crysta Tyus and London Jones.

Here is the background on this project:

In the last few months leading up to my daughter’s birth, I began a podcast project.

I had a few intentions with this project. 

I wanted her to have a set of recordings that could serve as a time capsule of what life was like just as she was arriving.  And for her to begin life already surrounded by a community who was invested in her. 

In the end, I interviewed over 20 people for this project.

I began these recordings in the late summer of 2019.  

Little did I know what was awaiting all of us just around the corner. 

As I’ve been relistening to these recordings I have found deep meaning in each conversation, and I hope you will appreciate them too.

That is why we are starting the 2022 season of THE Celebration podcast by sharing a newly edited edition of these interviews. 

The series is entitled: Gifts For You. 

It will span 13 episodes in total. 

I hope you enjoy it.
