Hey friends, welcome back to the show. I am really excited for today's conversation, because if you listen to last week's episode, I actually did a little recap on mic check retreat and what it was like, What I enjoyed, and today we are actually releasing the live in person, podcast panel interview that we did at the retreat, included on this panel were a couple of really special people to me. The first is Layli amati. Lali was actually my very first like podcast client outside of my corporate job. And it just, you know, it was a full circle moment when I got to bring her in to speak at Mike check retreat as a speaker, but also as a panelist, as we just celebrated our five years together working on her podcast. So lately is an educator, speaker and conference host with a heart for serving clients and fellow entrepreneurs through her coaching work as the host of so here's a thing, and the founder of the creative educator conference, she believes in leading with heartfelt encouragement and honest guidance. As a longtime entrepreneur, she's not afraid to dig into tough topics or transparently share her own experiences the good and the bad. Laylee is passionate about her goal to equip you and your ability to make a difference, create impact and to build a life doing what you love. Now, the next panelist was someone I actually met this year at another podcast conference at podfest. I heard her speak, and I was like, ideal, this is this is who I want at my retreat to come and speak so Danielle Desir Corbett is an accomplished travel and personal finance creator and host of the highly rated travel podcast the thought card, which aims to inspire financially savvy travelers to explore the world while living on their own terms.

Bree began blogging in 2011 and continued to blog because of the rich blogging community she encountered after three years of being part of that community, she saw an area where many bloggers were in need of knowledge and resources to turn their blogs into full time businesses. Once thrive. Was founded in 2014 her passion for seeing others succeed was fueled, and that passion has driven her to continue growing thrive, to educate more bloggers every year.

So I brought all three of these women together because they each had a different experience in their own right and their own you know, where they're focusing their time for their podcast, and what they're using their podcast for. And I just thought it was a really powerful tool to bring these women in, but also they have a wide variety of knowledge.
