Lady Business Radio With Jessica Kupferman

I don’t get to talk to many retailers on the show, so I was really excited to interview Lara about her hand-crafted hula hoops and how she sustains her family run business. What’s so fascinating about Lara is that besides doing everything “in the fam,” she found both her purpose in life and the love of her life at the same music festival.

I have literally been learning tips, tricks and best practices from Mari Smith since my first day on Facebook and Twitter. Her sunny disposition, her passion for marketing and her solid know-how has made  her one of the most sought-after marketing speakers and best selling authors about social media. In this episode,  Mari opens up about her humble beginnings, her greatest business bummer and her decision to start wearing other colors besides turquoise! Without further adue....

I love the title Brand Stylist because it so perfectly describes someone who helps women entrepreneurs with their branding - styling things to match their personality, their lifestyle, their essence. Amanda Genther may look 14 (sorry, girl) but her wisdom and marketing savvy are as sharp and en pointe (if not more so) as any of her more seasoned colleagues, myself included. Bonus:  I loved talking to her about millenial marketing.

Raw. Courageous. Vulnerable. Gorgeous. Put-together. All of these words describe Andrea Owen on the outside. From her website and Facebook photos, you see a woman who slightly resembles a younger (and way hotter) Tracy Pollan and exudes confidence, sass and class. But in this episode, Andrea opens up about how being beautiful and put together all the time can eat away at you until you’re a self hating lunatic. Bonus story: a bathroom incident that will make you laugh your face off. Wish I could chat with her all day!

NY stylist Alexandra Greenawalt has a lot of opinions about the fashion industry. In this episode, you’ll learn all about the rules we should listen to and ignore in order to create a signature style.

The amazing story of how Erin Giles created a niche for herself simply out of the goodness of her heart. This girl was broke as a joke but saw a video about sex trafficking that made her want to take action. She didn’t have cash, but she used her connections to create a movement and now she teaches business owners how to do that too. In this episode, Erin gives great resource and insight into the business of doing good and how we can do good  in our businesses.

I spend a lot of time sitting on my tush, so you can imagine my hesitation at talking to someone whose clients have dubbed her “The Body Whisperer.” In this episode, you’ll hear Erin Burch test my strength and knowledge about...well, even my own system. Plus great tips on how to have a happy bod!

Publicity coach and business strategist Selena Soo is a very smart cookie with some amazing stories (and even more amazing connections!). In this episode, Selena talks about how to play a different and more effective game by using generosity and building relationships.

Sometimes I love to interview gals who consult about similar topics because I like to commiserate about the challenges and tribulations of our clients. But the conversation I had with Alicia Cowan was so much more! In this episode, we talk about how she’s managing being bi-coastal (or, more accurately, coastal) as well as the new Gmail (she loves it!!) and how you can hate Twitter while still using it.

Tangela Ekhoff has done the almost impossible - she’s connected with the Hollywood bigwigs by being a TV supferfan. Her hilarious YouTube recaps about the show Scandal has brought her some serious media attention. In this episode, she’ll share how to connect with YOUR dream-come-true peeps as well as how to be more realistic about working for your money.

Think of it - if all the attorneys of the world were happy and well-adjusted, then their clients would be treated differently, their colleagues, their spouses….this is Ann Thomas’ mission. To coach attorneys to success and happiness. In this episode, she shares common success blockers and how to get past them as well as her new journey to working with her spouse.

I thought for a little while I was living a parallel life to Theresa. Every time I see a post of hers on Facebook, she’s watching what I’m watching or wrangling a cat that looks exactly like mine. It’s true that a lot of our past times are similar - but I learned a lot from hearing Theresa talk about how she runs her business. Hopefully you will, too!

Ellen Ercolini and I have so much in common! Both raised by small business owners, both helping the small business owner increase their bottom line, both frustrated by parents who won’t take our advice! Learn how Ellen advises her clients play by their own rules.

Andrea Vahl has done the impossible - she married her love of one thing with her love another and made it work into a super successful business. Andrea is a social media speaker and consultant - but she’s also a lover of improv theatre. She put them together and made Grandma Mary - Social Media Edutainer! In this episode, Andrea shares how she created Grandma and how she came to grow her social media biz and get in with the big boys.

There were so many great marketing nuggets from my interview with David Newman that I took four pages of notes. We chatted about getting into speaking. We talked about having a sales system. I was so pumped after our chat that I finished creating a course. Hopefully, it’ll inspire you, too!

Tory Johnson has struggled with her weight her whole life. It was something she decided she would just put on the back burner and move on from - until someone at Good Morning America decided she needed "a stylist." She decided she had enough of the fight and has dropped 60 pounds and counting! In this short interview, Tory shares why she wants to help the rest of us make the shift, too. 

Kimberly Riggins doesn't put up with excuses, negative self-talk, or any BS. That said, it's always fun to hear her all fired up about her passions - especially since her voice, to me, is as high as Minnie Mouse's. In this episode, Kim and I talk about her latest endeavor: teaching women about their money archetypes and what happens when those bitches aren't in sync. SO interesting!

Shannon Cherry: somehow she always has the right answers. Maybe it's because she blew through college in three years, squandering fun and rebelliousness in exchange for a job on a news team. Maybe it's because she has a brilliant mind for all things business. Or maybe it's because in an effort to achieve work/life balance, she really has come up with some amazing solutions for working less, spending less, and making more scratch.

Former bass guitarist Share Ross is not only my personal rock and roll guru but has enough life experience to fill about 20 books. Interestingly, the first one she chose to write was called "Punk Rock Knitting." In this episode, we discuss how to turn your dreams into action steps, the REAL difference between David Cassidy and Donny Osmond and how to start making epic shit happen.  

Branding Intuit Kristen Domingue looked into my soul through the telephone about 2 or three years ago and told me that, like her, I had a gift for seeing people's branding essence. At the time I was amazed I hadn't seen it before - but she was right! In this episode, we talk about that career-changing convo as well as the process for finding your purpose, the masculine and feminine approach to business, and how being of service can truly be the key to your success.
