Cubicle to CEO

Today’s guest is a self-professed “mama bear” and true champion for small businesses, and someone I admire immensely. Meet Natalie Franke Hayes, an entrepreneur, mobilization marketer, community builder, and neuroscience nerd. As co-founder of the Rising Tide Society and the Head of Community at HoneyBook, Natalie leads over 77,000 creatives and small business owners while fostering a spirit of community over competition around the world. We chat about why the lessons we learned at our first or entry level jobs should not be overlooked, how to love the people we serve more than the craft we do, her best tips for building strong, fast growing communities, and why competition isn’t a bad thing if you pursue it in the right way. There’s honestly too much goodness in this episode for me to tease here, so set aside the space to really soak in Natalie’s wisdom, and let’s push play.Connect With Natalie nataliefranke.com On Instagram On Twitter If you enjoyed today's episode, please: Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @missellenyin & @cubicletoceo so I can repost you.

Her company, FTLO Travel, hosts group trips for solo travelers in their 20s and 30s who are looking to connect with new people through sustainable, curated travel experiences in amazing destinations around the world. Similar to my own journey from Cubicle to CEO, Tara left her corporate job without a backup plan to leap into entrepreneurship. We chat about what she would have done differently in her business if she could start over, why FTLO Travel advocates for sustainable, slow tourism, and how she has pivoted her company multiple times through difficult situations, most recently in the midst of a global pandemic that shut down travel for months.Connect with Tara: www.ftlotravel.com  IG: @ftlotravel  IG: @taracappel ___If you enjoyed today's episode, please: Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @missellenyin & @cubicletoceo so I can repost you.

Want to know how I made over $102,000 in a 6 month time span last year? Download my 6 Figures in 6 Months Income Report at the bottom of my homepage: ellenyin.comIf you’re familiar with my six figures in six months income report, today’s guest is the woman who inspired it. In early 2018, I discovered Elise Darma’s blog where she shared her income reports at the end of every month, detailing how much revenue she made in the business, where she spent her money, what her profit margins were, and how much she paid herself. I was inspired by her transparency and tired of the lack of accountability from industry gurus who made flashy claims about their earnings without revealing expenses or profits, so I decided to release my own monthly income reports from January through July of 2019.We discussed both the benefits and drawbacks of sharing your personal finances with the Internet in depth in today’s episode. For those of you who are unfamiliar with her work, Elise is an Instagram Strategist and agency owner who has collectively grown Instagram accounts to over 250,000, brokered hundreds of deals between influencers and brands, and been featured in publications such as Forbes, Brit + Co, and Entrepreneur.Listen in to hear why being an overnight success is a lie and what it’s like to be a digital nomad running a multi-six figure business, including her personal experience at the now infamous disaster, the Fyre Festival. Connect With Elise storyvault.co https://elisedarma.com/ https://instagrowthboss.com/ On Instagram On YouTube If you enjoyed today's episode, please: Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @missellenyin & @cubicletoceo so I can repost you Leave a positive review on Apple Podcasts Subscribe for new episodes every Monday  Learn more about your ad choices.
