Summary

I truly believe that failing is the best way to learn life’s most valuable lessons. If you’re not failing, you’re holding yourself back from living up to your true potential and from being wildly successful.  I had the pleasure of interviewing a brilliant email marketing expert and copywriting course creator, Tarzan Kay (isn’t her name just fabulous?). Tarzan was never financially secure growing up and well into adulthood. Born into an intensely Christian family, (where she could only wear dresses, couldn’t watch TV, etc.), she was basically forced to focus on finding her life’s purpose.    Tarzan credits her strict (& often tumultuous) childhood for who she is today. As a teenager, she fell into a life of drug use but found the incredible strength at age 20 to slam on the breaks and not allow herself to continue down that dark path.   She became one of the world’s best copywriters (charging thousands of dollars a day for her amazing work) and has since focused her career on creating online courses to help other entrepreneurs learn the incredible skill of writing to sell (a.k.a copywriting).  Now a mom of 2, she’s the breadwinner for her family and wouldn’t have it any other way. She has found her life’s purpose and candidly shares all the failures that brought her to where she is today.    She also opens up about the truth behind how the marketing industry feeds into unrealistic expectations for your business (no one talks about this!) As you listen to this episode, you’ll also hear:   The fascinating story behind her name (this is EPIC) The one thing she wishes she knew when she first started How your failures ultimately lead to your biggest successes The intense moment she “woke up” and gained awareness at a whole different level (brace yourself for this one—it’s utterly fantastic) I can’t wait for you to hear this! Love, Kim xo Reference List: Tarzan Kay’s courses (https://tarzankay.com/) Swipe files of her awesome sales emails (https://tarzankay.com/emails) Tarzan Kay’s IG: (https://www.instagram.com/tarzan_kay/?hl=en) “Copy Caboose” (launches March 2021!)     QUOTES USED: “You can write all you want, but if you can’t sell, you’re not going to be successful.”   “Your biggest failures become your best stories.”   “Failure is how we learn. If you don’t admit where you’ve failed, you’re holding the business back.”

Well, hey there. Welcome to the Kim Constable podcast. Nobody cares. Work harder. Got another great

0:14.7

interview for you this week. I'm really pumping out the interviews at the minute, aren't I?

0:18.2

But it's because so many amazing people are coming to me.

0:22.4

And today's guest is absolutely no exception. Her name is the fabulous Tarzan K. Calrissian.

0:29.7

Yes, that may sound like a character from Star Wars. And you would be correct because it is a jungle superhero and a character from Star Wars because Tarzan actually has a

0:40.1

very interesting story around her name, which she is going to share with us in this interview

0:44.6

in the podcast as well as lots of other incredible truth bombs, which I just cannot wait to

0:50.0

unleash on you. Tarzan and I met, when did we made about three years ago, I think it was.

0:56.2

I actually found her through Amy Porterfield, who if you listen to this podcast, was on a couple

1:00.1

of weeks ago. And she used to be a copywriter for Amy. And I reached out to her, knowing that

1:06.4

she was Amy's copywriter, and she must be fabulous. And I asked her to do some copyrighting for me. And she

1:11.8

came back and told me that of course she could, but her day rate was $5,000. And I was like,

1:18.3

$5,000 for one day. So immediately what I thought was, well, shit, she must be good. And damn,

1:25.2

was I right? She is truly one of the most talented copywriters I have

1:30.4

ever met and worked with in my entire life. And not only that, she and I have since become best friends.

1:36.6

We actually, a year and a half ago now, before all this coronavirus shit, we went to New York

1:42.1

and we went to a conference in New York and we spent the four days

1:45.5

together at the conference, but also, you know, we shared a hotel room. I booked just a suite. We shared

1:50.6

a bed. It was her birthday. I brought her coffee and sang happy birthday tour and it was the most

1:56.4

amazing time. We really got to know each other and cement a very strong friendship, which

2:01.2

had been built over the internet and through working together. And she truly is one of my

favorite people. And I'm so delighted to interview her today on the podcast. You are going to
