How I Built a 7-Figure Brand: A Conversation About Growth, Pivoting and Scaling
Manage episode 482877129 series 2771102
What if success isn’t about having all the answers—but about starting before you feel ready?
If you’ve ever hesitated to take the next step because you’re waiting to be “qualified,” this episode is for you.
In this special repurposed episode, I sat down with Alexis Teichmiller on the Circle “Making Of” podcast to talk about how I built my brand from the ground up—starting with a $19 PDF and zero business experience.
You’ll hear:
✨ How I went from law school dropout to six figures in my first year as a photographer
✨ The moment I realized my audience was asking for a product I hadn’t even created yet
✨ Why generosity has been my #1 business strategy (and how it shaped my success)
✨ The hard decision to pivot from photography to educator, strategist, and tech founder
✨ The real reason I burned the boats on past businesses to step into something bigger
And if you’ve ever felt like ambition is a luxury you can’t afford, I share how I went from survival mode to fully embracing a growth mindset.
