Ep. 128 What if the blueprint for handling judgment, mastering your message, and staying aligned in your business has been sitting in OZ this whole time? In this magical, insight-packed episode of High Vibe Table Talks, host and Wicked superfan Merchon Hargrave breaks down the entrepreneurial lessons woven throughout the new movie Wicked For Good. From Elphaba’s ability to rise above public criticism to Glinda’s obsession with perception, Merchon shows how the characters’ journeys mirror the emotional and strategic realities every entrepreneur faces. Recording from her bedroom during a chaotic season (because entrepreneurship is real), Merchon shares why accountability matters, how marketing builds your “reputation bank,” and why your motives are more important than your metrics. Most importantly, she reminds you that creativity isn’t a luxury — it’s your power source. If you’ve ever battled self-doubt, struggled with visibility, or wondered whether your message truly matters, this episode will shift how you see your work… and your magic. 🔑 Key Takeaways Other people’s opinions are none of your business. Elphaba’s North Star mirrors how entrepreneurs must stay grounded in purpose, not perception. Words shape worlds. Language — in storytelling, marketing, and personal branding — has the power to shift public opinion. Marketing is your bank account. Keep making positive deposits through consistent visibility so one negative moment doesn’t define you. Good vs. Kind. Your motives matter more than the performance of being “good.” True impact comes from genuine intention. Creativity isn’t extra — it’s essential. Imaginative thinking is a business advantage, not a distraction.
