04 Jun 2024 | Introducing Yourself With Confidence | 00:20:55 | |
Today we’re exploring (and finding solutions to) the question: Why is it so hard to talk about ourselves and our work? We’re unpacking how to talk to real people about what you do and why it matters. On a client call, at a dinner party, at a networking event, we find ourselves feeling flustered and ramble-y when inevitably asked the question: So, what do you do? Enter: the elevator pitch. This little blurb captures your big ideas with just a few words. It gives you the clarity to make a memorable first impression, no matter the context. So that you have the confidence to introduce yourself and and your brand in order to get the values-aligned visibility you want—aka become known and “put yourself out there” on your own terms and connect on a human-to-human level.

14 Feb 2023 | My Journey Toward Purpose & Progress | 00:14:50 | |
Hello, hello! Welcome to the very first episode of the Purpose & Progress Podcast. To be honest, the idea of having an episode entirely about me made me VERY uncomfortable. But as I thought more about it, this hesitance to talk about ourselves is the exact issue my clients struggle with. And because integrity is one of my core values, I decided to walk the walk and put myself out there as a confident, conscious business owner, just like the women I work with and highlight on this show. So, this episode is an introduction to who I am as a woman and business owner, my journey to where I am today, and the why behind this podcast.

This is a super special episode because it’s our 1 year podcasting anniversary! And at this 1-year milestone, I’m reimagining the podcast and reallocating resources across my business. Something we all need to reflect on, whether we host a podcast, run a community, offer a line of products or services, or anything in between. So in this episode, I’m sharing some changes that are coming down the pike and the reasons why. (Spoiler alert: 2 big reasons are audience feedback and alignment with my values. No surprise there.) And I’ll be using my podcast and business as an example, but I invite you to translate these ideas of evaluating your goals, your potential for impact, and especially your time, money, and energy bandwidth to whatever it is you’re excited about and actively working toward.

01 Oct 2024 | Harnessing The Power of Positive Peer Pressure | 00:21:17 | |
Even as someone who *hated* group work growing up, I’ve come to not only appreciate, but actively seek out and create collaboration and positive peer pressure. Because leaning on a supportive and dynamic peer group makes everything easier. And because we’d all be lying if we said that doing it (life, business, marketing) is easy on our own.

It’s no secret that lots of us in the entrepreneurship space are really into personal development and personality types. And it makes sense, right? The better you know yourself, your values, and all your strengths (and your corresponding weaknesses…), the better you can show up as the leader your business needs. In my experience, entrepreneurship is one big self-actualization journey. For the full show notes, visit https://www.ashleesang.com/episode20

05 Dec 2023 | Getting Outside Perspective to Tap Into Your Own Intuition | 00:14:27 | |
While the world is a noisy place, so is our own brain. That’s why getting outside perspective is so powerful. Whatever trusted person we turn to can reflect back our own ideas, validate our doubts, and push back on elements that could be clearer in our business, our messaging, or our offers. It’s always scary putting yourself out there, being vulnerable. But it does get easier with practice and it is worth it. Because perfectionism doesn’t benefit anyway, but purposeful progress does. However you get your outside perspective, I hope it brings you the clarity, confidence, and sense of strategic intuition you’ve always had, but haven’t tapped into recently.

Hello, hello! Welcome to this solo episode and the introduction to our 2nd monthly theme: Cash. We’re gonna touch on how brand messaging makes you more cash, but also how your values guide how you spend money. Like lots of you, I’ve always been a go-getter. A self-starter. And yes, a perfectionist. I’ve struggled with anything that’s not possible through sheer determination. But I’m coming to learn that in entrepreneurship, that’s not scalable or sustainable. So, the solution: outsourcing. That big, scary, exciting, “sophisticated” thing we hear so much about, but drag our heels so hard on.
