Are you operating in integrity with your price point? Moreover, are you working in harmony with your expertise? It's so easy to fall out of sync with our own teaching and methods from time to time. But, being a shoeless cobbler is risky in more ways than one - it can rob us of our credibility, legitimacy, sanity, and even health! How can we rise to the occasion of raising our rates, while remaining true and compassionate toward ourselves?

This week, Annie P. (notorious low-ticket evangelist) changes her mind about high-ticket selling with the help of sensational salesman and exceptional human, Isaac Ho. Isaac pulls so much inspiration, strategy, and even mentorship out of Simba's journey from Pride Rock and back again and asks each of us the questions - are we scavenging for grubs when we should be dining only on the finest zebras? And, how can our own growth and success elevate the people who have always had our backs?

How are you navigating the weird, wild world of digital marketing? Where does your true essence end and your online persona begin? And - is an ethical reckoning coming for coaches, consultants, and other service providers?

This week, Annie P. is joined by comedian, whistleblower, and branding all-star, Rachael Kay Albers. Rachael is known for her keen observations, no-nonsense voice, and resilience AND she's been the go-to branding strategist for many of entrepreneurship's biggest, shiniest names. She brings a heaping helping of hilarious truth to this episode and reminds us to look for the best practices that are older than the Internet.

How are you showing up in your business - as an expert, as an advocate, as a supernova? Or are you playing it safe? Putting yourself out there day-after-day is freaking HARD - it requires so much of us: courage, confidence, grit, faith. But we can so easily undermine all these traits with spray-and-pray marketing efforts and misplaced humility. What would change if you fully owned your expertise and took up more space?

How formal (and stuffy) does your business really need to be in order to be taken seriously? Are we still living in a "dress to impress" world, once we've left corporate confines? And - how can we lean into our own internal navigation in a world where everyone has an opinion (even if they've never run a business before)?

This week, Annie P. sits down with the poster-child for living out loud, Jenny Ambrose. Part scientist, part artist, all powerhouse, Jenny knows a thing or two about standing out in crowded markets, connecting with buyers on a deep, emotional level, and not sweating the small stuff even while honoring the small details that make us unique. Then, Jenny and Annie embark on a journey in Moana - and once they start talking about Te Ka and Te Fiti being two sides of the same brand, who knows how far they'll go.
