This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Mary Marantz, a Yale Law School graduate, podcast host of The Mary Marantz Show, speaker, and author of the book Dirt. During our chat, we focus on Mary's unique background as a girl growing up in rural West Virginia, and how her family and its history inspired Mary to rise to the top and claim success on her own terms. We explore Mary's approach to dealing with Imposter Syndrome and her advice for leaning into your vulnerability as a way to inspire and connect with others.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Intentional Advantage podcast with your host, Tanya Dalton, an entrepreneur, best-selling |
| 0:09.7 | author, nationally recognized productivity expert, and mom of two. This season is all about |
| 0:14.9 | strategies for success, helping you confidently step into leadership, purposefully, intentionally, |
| 0:20.6 | and mindfully. |
| 0:22.2 | Are you ready? Here's your host, Tanya Dalton. |
| 0:27.2 | Hello, hello, everyone. Welcome to the Intentional Advantage Podcast. I'm your host, Tanya |
| 0:32.7 | Dalton, and this is episode 194. And today, I have a fabulous guest for you. |
| 0:40.1 | As you know, all season long, we've been talking about strategies for success. |
| 0:44.6 | And when I was sitting down thinking about who would be an amazing guest for this season, |
| 0:48.8 | I thought about Mary Morance and her beautiful book that just came out called Dirt. I was lucky enough to get an |
| 0:57.0 | advanced copy of her book and I wrote an endorsement. And here's a tiny little excerpt of what I |
| 1:02.6 | said when I wrote the endorsement for Mary's book. I said that Mary's words are equal parts |
| 1:08.1 | poetry and pain, sadness, and soaring redemption. Her story is an incredible one |
| 1:15.4 | that I know you're going to resonate with. Even if your background is very different from Mary's, |
| 1:20.2 | which it probably is because she has a very unique background, I know you're going to really |
| 1:25.0 | connect with her message. Mary Morantz is a Yale Law School graduate, and she is the first in her immediate family to go to college. |
| 1:33.6 | She grew up in rural West Virginia in a very, very rundown trailer, which we're going to talk about in this episode. |
| 1:41.6 | But she's also the author of the book Dirt. And she's the host of the |
| 1:45.3 | Mary Morantz show, which debuted in the iTunes Top 200 podcast list. Her writing has been |
| 1:51.5 | featured in Southern Living, Business Insider, Thrive Global, MSN, Bustle, Britainco. She's an amazing |
| 1:58.4 | woman with an amazing story. So let's dive into that now. |
| 2:01.9 | Mary, I am so excited to have you on this show today. This is going to be so much fun. Oh my gosh, Tanya, I have been looking forward to this. Like, I just feel like when you came on my show to talk about your book, which gosh, like, is that getting close to a year ago we were just talking about. I just fell in love with you. And I was like, I want to be friends with this woman. I will make this happen. |
