Lady Business Radio With Jessica Kupferman

Dr. Venus Opal Reese has an amazingly inspiring story. But what I enjoyed most about this interview is how 100% unapologetic she is for being herself and charging what she charges and working with whomever the heck she wants to work with, and anyone who doesn’t like it, be damned. Enjoy this wisdom-filled episode filled with Venus’s inspiration, encouragement and permission to be who the heck you want.  

Mignon Fogarty inspired me big time during a session at New Media Expo this past winter. She started her podcast Grammar Girl 8 years ago and quickly turned it into a network of her friends giving quick tips. Now partnered with MacMillan publishing, QuickandDirtyTips.com is ALWAYS in the What’s Hot category on iTunes and Mignon is the writer of over 7 books on writing and grammar. In this episode, learn what it was like to be put on the spot to correct OPRAH’S grammar as well as what it’s like to take a HUGE partner and relinquish some control over your baby.

Catherine and I have so much in common - namely, our obsessions and flaws.

It turns out, you’re not born knowing that your mission in life is giving women a voice. But when both your parents are public speakers, it sure does put you on the right path.

Jessica shares some behind the scenes dish from some of her favorite guests as well as talks about why she started the show and what's changed in a year.

One of the things I love most about Leela is how brutally, painfully honest she is. In this episode, she is generously open about her flaws, the lies we tell ourselves and how to create transformation from it (via personal experience) and how to truly embrace femininity in your business.

Andrea Beaman is super fun to talk to and an open book. I had a great time grilling her about what foods heal,  serve as great pick-me-ups and how to eat better food for you and make the best of a crappy co-op. Enjoy!

I’ve known Nichole for a while online and always admired her but never had more than a 5 minute conversation (even though I’ve wanted to!) In this episode, Nichole shares her vulnerable journey in and out of a mastermind as well as what happens when work takes over your life.

When I was in high school,  I looked up to Allison as the girl who gets things DONE. 10 years later, I picked up a Working Woman magazine to see her face being featured as the CEO of MomCorps, a company that helps moms find flexible work so they can create their own schedules. In this episode, learn how she’s made that work for herself, despite being the head of a multimillion dollar corporation.

Leah Manderson wants you to know that when she gives business and financial advice, she’s 100% certified to do so. In today’s episode, learn how she was featured on Forbes, Yahoo, PopSugar and the Chicago Tribune - and how YOU can do it too! (Thanks, Leah!)

Fellow Comm major Nikki Elledge Brown is what she calls a “communication stylist.” Girlfriend and I TOTALLY geek out on communication and theory - why people behave and buy - and after that, she had some really neat stuff to say about 5 figure launches and growing pains. Enjoy!

Sally Hope has a life I often dream about. She’s ridden around the country in an RV, cowboy boots and french mani her signature style, with a Hope-ful approach to life and her hair smelling of freedom. Ahh. In this epsiode, learn the behind the scenes of her Wildheart community, her RV experience and why she chose to park - permanently - in Montana.

  Oh, how I love to interview designers. It’s a bonding experience like no other. Christie and I have been like ships in the night for years - since we are both designers we never need each other’s services and therefore never worked together. In this episode, we chat about her super interesting biz model, what she’s learned from sharing everyone ELSE’S courses, and how to grow some decent veggies. Yay!

Rosy cheeks a flush with irritation at marketing #fails and bad business practices. Polite Canadian demeanor. Insanely hilarious sense of humor. He’s my ideal guy, right? This January I got to meet him and his absolutely lovely other half, Allison, co-host of the UnPodcast and Stratten button-pusher - which makes for PERFECT radio chemistry. In this episode, we talk...well, about a lot of shiz.

I love talking to copywriters so I can dish about their pet peeves. Shanna Trenholm is a writing dynamo with a flair for using UNIQUE words to describe JUICY clients and their products and services.

Inspirational! PLUS: 20% off her already low price vegan and gluten-free cookbook!

Lorrie King is an amazing lady with an amazing job. After visiting India a few years ago to assess educational needs, she learned that teenage girls there are always falling behind in school because they’re getting their periods - and they have no supplies, no access to soap and water, no way of dealing with it. In this episode we talk about how she’s now helping the situation - and how you can too - as well as a healthy debate about cultural practices (ours and theirs) and how they can inhibit medical care. FASCINATING!!

Karen Yankovich is a social media consultant and not a coach, thank you very much. (A girl after my own heart!) However, she IS a dream interpreter - and very heart-centered entrepreneur. In this episode, you’ll learn why she says LinkedIn is FUN - never heard that one before - and ways to get through to your audience that will keep you top of mind. You’ll also hear her interpret one of my scary dreams! http://bit.ly/1j0yN90

It’s my birthday week – and what better way to celebrate than to introduce you to one of the two people who helped put me on this earth – my dad. Don’t worry, the episode is still relevant, as my father was an entrepreneur who came up with a BRILL idea in 1982 and it carried him all the way until this year, when his business Carpel Video will finally close it’s doors. Listen to my pops dish about ladies in the workplace, what it was like to employ my MOM and why everyone in my family is self-employed.
