What happens when a total beginner dares to pitch a marketing legend?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and telling the real story of how I landed Jay Schwedelson—yes, the KING of email marketing—on my tiny podcast (before I had any business doing so).
You’ll hear:
🔹 Why I almost didn’t send the invite
🔹 How I pushed past imposter syndrome
🔹 What actually happened on the call
🔹 And the truth about what it really takes to get in the room before you feel ready
This episode is your permission slip to stop waiting until you’re “qualified” and start taking action that moves your business forward.
✨ Whether you’re just getting started or holding yourself back from playing bigger—this one’s for you.
