Michelle Fox (@MichelleMFox) is another MBA student at UN Reno. After my talk to her class, Michelle expressed interest in learning about the podcasting process. I thought that the easiest way for her to learn was to be a guest. I got to learn more about Michelle and her interest in work-life balance through our conversation and I think she has some interesting thoughts on the subject. I hope you enjoy this interview.

I was incredibly fortunate to meet Stephanie Quilao (@skinnyjeans) at PodCamp AZ 2009. She’s an amazing woman who left her corporate life behind to start blogging in 2005 and in the process found the one thing that she “simply can’t shut up about.” I personally love her passion for food, hydration and generally taking care of ourselves and I know you will enjoy meeting her as well.

Beatriz Alemar (@balemar), or Bea as I simply call her, is someone who literally caught my attention with smart comments on Brazen Careerist. Being someone who loves a smart mind, I reached out to her and quickly found out she was even better on Skype than her smart posts made me believe. She’s a consultant by day in the realms of social media and helping non-profits put wins on the boards but by night I’ve hooked her into doing a new podcast with me! I’m thoroughly excited to introduce you to Bea! Enjoy.

Kelly Garcia (@butterandme) started her business of baked goods not because she had a great business plan but rather that she had too many folks asking her to make cupcakes for their get togethers. Kelly and I talk about how she started her business and the charity event that she’s hosting next week, Cupcake Love In. I love Kelly’s story because it’s not the entreprenuer-by-choice path that is fairly rare in the entrepreneurial community.

Mimi Ford (@mimiford) is someone who I look up to immensely. It’s not every day that I get to speak with the second half of a dynamic entrepreneurial duo who loves to take part in IronMan triathlons. Mimi and I get to talking about her love of the sport, the immense amount of training that it takes and how she’s using her training time to help create content for her and her husband’s blog (http://tylerandmimiford.com). I’m happy to introduce you to Mimi! Enjoy and help wish her the best of luck in Kona!

Katie Brooks (@kreganb) came on my radar when she submitted her application for IWearYourShirt. After doing a little more research on her though there’s much more that she brings to the table. A graduate student at Florida State University in media studies, an amateur foodie and a passion for sewing are just the tip of the iceberg that we got to covering in this episode. I hope you enjoy meeting Katie.

Amanda Ryan (@naturecreations) is representative of why I spend so much time in online communities. She’s smart, entrepreneurial and is never afraid to create a little content. On top of that her voice is almost a dead give away for Amber MacArthur’s which in my mind means she’s a perfect person to give a little Canadian flavor to a podcast. I was happy to record with her over the weekend and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Neeley Neal (@neeleyneal) is someone who was mentioned to me twice in conversations in the last year. Given that initial experience I started to follow her and watch her from afar. Little did I know that Neeley was actually an entrepreneur who’s building something that I couldn’t be farther from her intended user but I still think the idea is brilliant. Neeley’s is a former NFL Cheerleader and rolled that knowledge in to becoming the founder of SidelineStar.com. Sideline Star is an online community for cheerleaders and their coaches with all kinds of resources directly from professional cheerleaders. This interview was actually Neeley’s and my first conversation on the phone so I was getting to meet her just like you all are. Enjoy!
