Andee Hart is an entrepreneur, sales strategist, mentor, and host of the podcast, She Sells Differently. While working as a sales executive for a Fortune 500 company, Andee started a passion project, Hart Design Co., of candle making in her own kitchen. What started out as a side hustle with her candles in a handful of local boutiques quickly blossomed into a wildly successful wholesale business and store front. Within a year, Andee was able to transition from her 17-year corporate sales career to full-time entrepreneurship, now also teaching women entrepreneurs how to master sales.
đKey Takeawaysđ
đ¤ đ Turn Mistakes into Mastery: Why every mistake in sales became part of her learning journey. Nobody is born a master salesperson. The key? Treat sales as a muscle you build over time, learning from every challenge along the way.
đ§ đ¤ Seek First to Understand: Rather than leaping to defend or solve, use thoughtful, open-ended questions to get to the heart of your customerâs true needs. Not only does this diffuse tension, but it creates space for collaborationânot confrontation.
⨠đ Sell with Integrity: Desperation never sells. Sometimes getting a ânoâ is the best answer. Andee shares how having the confidence to walk away from deals that arenât the right fit builds long-term trustâand opens doors to better opportunities down the road.
đ°đĽ 10 Seconds of Courage: One of the top reasons entrepreneurs lose sales? Not actually asking for the sale! Muster â10 seconds of courageâ and confidently assume the partnership. Follow upâmost people never do, and youâll stand out massively just by closing the loop.
đ¤ đŻ Itâs All About Fitâand Follow Up: Whether youâre selling products to boutiques or high-ticket B2B tech, the magic is in qualifying your clients up frontâunderstanding decision makers, budget, and whether your product is truly the right solution. And if you donât get a yes right away? Follow up! Often, your customer needs the nudge.
đ âĄGrowth Means Letting Go of Perfection: Perfectionism is your enemy when it comes to sales, so learn to ask for help, be humble, curious and open to coaching.Â

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
