I want to just chat about something really quickly before I share about today\u2019s podcast. I did NOT post a podcast episode last week and I was originally disappointed with myself AND through the learning from my mindset reset I was able to rewire those thoughts.
If you \u201cskipped a week\u201d of your goals due to life circumstances, THAT IS A-OK. Sometimes our brains trick us and tell us we should be doing more. But what I say to clients is that whatever you were pulled to do in that timeframe whether it was a babymoon (like myself) or celebrating one of your best friends weddings (also me) that you should be ALL THERE. Although it may feel like business or your passion projects aren\u2019t \u201cmoving\u201d when you\u2019re not working on them constantly it doesn\u2019t mean you are behind or that you are no longer interested.
It means you are participating in something called LIFE. AND YOU SHOULD BE ALL IN WITH YOUR LIFE. The most important thing is when taking these \u201cbreaks\u201d is that you come back with the RIGHT MINDSET and you just keep going.
Ok, are you ready to hear about today\u2019s episode because I\u2019m ready to share with you!\xa0
Each time I talk to Ashley Kalinkakus, I feel like I\u2019m getting my MBA.
THIS GIRL IS A BADASS. Ashley is the Chief Executive Officer & Founder of Torigen Pharmaceuticals, a company that is focused on personalized cancer immunotherapy for the veterinary market. Wanna know how he got started? She took her graduate thesis and turned it into a business.
I took so many nuggets from Ashley - things like PIVOTING and being OK with it as it is essential for growth. We talk about how vital it is to research your market and to ask qualitative questions in order to know if you have a business. Ashley and I chatted a lot about confidence and how this young, blonde, female CEO is taking charge and in the board room & with her team at work.
Ashley believes that being confident even when feeling uncomfortable is what helps us reach our goals. WE ALL are uncomfortable when offering something that means so damn much to us.
We talk about that too- other people\u2019s opinions are important but they aren\u2019t there to deter you, they are to help you pivot and grow. Although Ashley leans heavily on her team and their input, she also makes sure to trust her process and ideas.
And most importantly, when she received challenging feedback, she used it as fuel and building blocks to make the business better. The biggest takeaway? Think Ross from friends with that damn white couch in the stairways\u2026PIVOT. And keep pivoting and trying and iterating and learning. Stay open, and enjoy the ride!\xa0
