I met Amervis at a Las Vegas networking group and we instantly connected. Her story led her from poverty to corporate America, to becoming an independent consultant. Hard work and stepping out of her comfort zone have always led her toward growth. Pushing through her fears that she didn't have what it takes to go out on her own, she finished her most recent book and started connecting with other women who could mentor her.
Amervis can be reached via her website https://amervis.com/

Martine Dowden was just so great to talk to and filled with information that we couldn't fit our conversation into just one episode. Enjoy part two of my talk with Martine.
Martine Dowden still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up but while working it out she co-founded and is the CTO of tech company Andromeda https://www.andromeda16.com/
A coder who loves the process of creating and developing, Martine chatted with me about her process, her company and her background in a conversation that was so great it has been broken into two episodes.

Michelle Hausbeck, owner of Hausbeck Brand - A Creative Company, always had the dream of being her own boss, always had the entrepreneurial spirit and being surrounded by a family of creatives — artists and entrepreneurs — motivated her to follow suit. She crawled her way up the ladder of various ad agencies before launching her own business. Hausbeck Brand and LG Designs have similar approaches and business models.
Straight from the Hausbeck Brand website:
“Hausbeck Brand uncovers brand insights and creates innovative design solutions. We work with clients of all sizes, from large to small businesses, in a wide range of fields and industries, including gaming, hotel/casino, restaurant, security, non-profits, real estate, law, education, coaching, health/wellness, personal branding, and many others. We are firm believers that every step involved in developing and marketing a brand has a goal. Knowing the goals before the design process begins is key. This helps create a strategy not only for design and marketing, it also guides the creative development for the brands content, voice, imagery, usage, and marketing placement.
We are a team of professionals, made up of digital marketing experts, content writers, PR agencies, photographers, videographers, executive coaches, and corporate trainers. We all are aligned in the belief that talent, street smarts, and persistence is the perfect mix to create success for our clients.”
On this episode, Michelle talks about her tips for success — forging strong relationships and having a consistent daily routine — along with covering some of the things she and her company do, from brand development, management and design to keynote speaking.
Michelle believes the only constant in life is change and we all have a choice. In how we are going to react, overcome the situation.
