How to leverage the "ordinary extraordinary" with April Pertuis
Today's guest is April Pertuis of LIGHTbeamers, and we're on a mission to help you put yourself out there and share your story with confidence. We dive deep into why YOUR story matters... even if you think it's boring AF. We get real about the struggles of comparison, the importance of curiosity, and why those "ordinary" stories might be the most extraordinary of all.
Our challenge to you: If we can't find an interesting story in your life, I'll give you your money back.
Can't-miss moments:
- The one question April swears by to spark your curiosity and problem-solving skills (even if you swear you have ZERO creativity or worthy ideas)...
- Confession time: I didn't share my digital nomad stories because I thought they weren't interesting (and April shows me how my infamous laundry scar proves I was dead wrong)...
- Hitting the tipping point: April reveals the final straw that made her walk away from her news reporter role for good (it's way cooler than you might think)...
- Living the double life: when April's first TV reporting job didn't quite cover all the bills, she turned to a surprising side hustle...
- You start a podcast to get tons of listeners, right? Wrong... here's the real reason April started her Inside Story podcast (and it might change how you think about starting your own show)...
