How are you, really? Jenna Kutcher wants to know.
Jenna is a small-town Minnesota mama obsessed with all things marketing who turned a $300 Craigslist camera into a seven-figure empire. She also has a #1 rated podcast with millions of downloads, a suite of massively popular online products and programs, and a soon-to-be-bestselling book (not to mention a rock solid marriage and two gorgeous kids!).
But when I sat down behind the mic with her for this episode (her second appearance on the show!) I didn’t want to pick her brains about “how to build a global brand” or the “15 marketing tips she swears by”, I wanted to delve into all of the OTHER stuff that makes all her hard work worth it — the behind-the-scenes *juicy* stuff that we so rarely get to hear from someone THIS successful.
And let me tell you, she did not disappoint.
Tune in to this HUGELY inspiring interview to hear the divine Ms Kutcher’s insights on what to do when you’re struck by ‘mama guilt’, her take on “doing it all”, the support systems she has in place that make business and mamahood possible, why she didn’t tell anyone she was writing this book, her surprising creative process, how she’s intentionally creating her own experience of motherhood, her secret to massively fulfilling friendships, how she slowly uncovered her ‘why’ (and how you can dig up your own too), how she’s fuelled by both peace and purpose, and what it takes to build a life you TRULY love.
