Summary

Several years ago, when I started The Sculpted Vegan, there was one specific investment I made that would forever change the course of my businesses: Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy Amy (who calls herself “The Queen of Baby Steps”, and you’ll hear why) has been a huge source of inspiration to me. Last year, she reached the $10 million dollar turnover mark, has been featured in Forbes for breaking the glass ceiling, has sold more than 40,000 courses, has a mailing list of over a quarter of a million subscribers, and the list goes on! She is truly an incredible businesswoman, mentor, and friend. I have been a champion of hers for many years, so you can imagine my delight when she agreed to be on the podcast! (It’s really going to blow your socks off) Listen to how she talks so candidly about: Her successes AND failures (if you know me, you know I love failures!) How increasing awareness surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement became the catalyst for positive changes in her business practices How she got started in the industry and the moment she knew she wanted to be her own boss 2 things she says that stop people from reaching true success How she really feels about her husband The biggest lesson she has learned in life You’re going to absolutely love this podcast! Reference List: Digital Course Academy ( does not open until March 2021, so no link) Amy’s podcast (https://www.amyporterfield.com/amy-porterfield-podcast/) Amy’s Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/amyporterfield/?hl=en) Amy’s Clubhouse (@amyporterfield) Forbes Article: (https://www.forbes.com/sites/celinnedacosta/2019/08/27/how-one-woman-broke-through-the-glass-ceiling-and-built-a-multi-million-dollar-online-course-empire/?sh=31bf93077def) Grant Cardone (https://grantcardone.com/) Quotes used: If people hate you and talk about you, that’s great! That means they will spread your name far and wide. Just because you didn’t know, doesn’t mean you’re not responsible. Lead with compassion. People are fighting battles we know nothing about. Freedom lies in the capacity to pause between stimulus and response.

0:13.3	threw that one in the end there today. Because that's kind of the theme of today's podcast,
0:18.3	which is going to just blow your socks off.
0:23.7	Today, my guest is Amy Porterfield.
0:25.5	Amy Porterfield is not only one of my mentors.
0:29.7	She is someone who has been a huge source of inspiration for me.
0:34.0	And also, she is part of the reason I have been able to be successful online with the Sculpted Vegan because it was her program, webinars that convert, which is now no longer webinars convert, which is now Digital Course Academy, which enabled me to use the webinar system that she taught to grow the sculpted vegan into the success that it is today. Well,
0:55.5	part of the reason why it is the success that it is today. Amy is the most incredible entrepreneur.
1:02.4	Last year, she hit the $10 million turnover mark. She has been featured in Forbes, as you know,

1:17.6	Hobie. She has a mailing list of over a quarter of a million subscribers. She has sold over 40,000
1:23.0	courses worldwide. And she is a mentor to many and just incredibly inspirational in every single

1:44.1	would not normally be an interview.
1:46.5	I'm sure that Amy would do, except that I have been a champion of Amy's for many years and I have tried to help her in as many ways as I possibly can just to say thank you for everything that she did to help me over the years to be successful.
1:58.8	So I think this is a little bit of a mutual backscratching episode, to be honest, but I'm very, very, very thankful that she did,
2:05.1	um, she did agree to become a guest today or to come on the podcast as a guest because this,
2:10.1	I think was one of the best conversations I've ever had on a podcast. I really have had some
