I am so excited for this electrifying conversation with the multi-talented Natalie Franke! We are diving deep into the thrilling world of innovation and why embracing the "gutsy" mindset is the key to rocking your entrepreneurial journey. Sometimes we hold ourselves back from trying something new because of fear. But here's the truth - you can't win big in the marketplace by merely repeating what worked for someone else or what worked yesterday. Let's break free from those chains of fear and unlock our creative potential!

Natalie, an author, community builder, and neuroscience nerd, is going to share her awe-inspiring story. From leaving her corporate job and following her dream of being a photographer to founding the incredible Rising Tide community, she's got a tale that'll leave you feeling inspired and ready to conquer your goals!

We'll uncover the key aspects behind building a vibrant and supportive team, even during times of growth and change. It's all about taking those swings, learning from the misses, and eventually hitting that home run. Natalie's going to share how embracing failure and trying new things can lead us to spectacular success!

From there we're diving into the fear of success, friendships as an entrepreneur, and filtering out the noise in today's content-heavy world! Fear of success can manifest in our lives and impact our decisions and opportunities but we can curate our inner circle to ensure positive growth and support. Don't miss Natalie's practical advice for entrepreneurs seeking to create a thriving culture within their companies AND in their personal lives!
