The fastest way to lose an audience is to make them wait for the point. That’s why we brought on Dhara Singh—a former financial journalist who has helped 200+ entrepreneurs turn lived experience into magnetic brands—to show exactly how to craft a hook, shape a plot twist, and guide listeners toward action without feeling salesy. Dhara’s gift is part newsroom rigor, part human intuition: she listens like a reporter, then distills your story into repeatable assets that sell, heal, and connect.

We dig into the moments that matter most: the first 60 seconds that tell people why they should care; the emotional turning points that travel beyond biography; and the difference between a viral reel and a story that actually builds a business. Dhara breaks down her storytelling intensive—from a no-prep interview to a detective-style analysis that becomes a keynote outline, website copy, and a plug-and-play content plan. She also opens the black box on media pitching, with practical ways to land quotes in major outlets using HARO and similar platforms, even if you don’t have a big following.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance multiple parts of your brand—author, speaker, founder, service pro—Dhara explains why people can track a multidimensional path when the narrative thread is clear. We talk borrowed stages, podcast swaps, and why the quiet power tool is your email list. Most of all, we spotlight the missing link in so much content: a strong call to action that shows people how to experience the transformation you share on stage or in a story.

Subscribe for more candid, practical conversations with builders who lead with story. If this episode gave you a new hook or a braver headline for your life, share it with a friend, leave a review, and tell us the one moment you’d use to open your next talk.

Ever wondered what it feels like to communicate with those who've passed on? In this captivating conversation, we're joined by Nikki Blair, a gifted Coast Salish medium who's amassed nearly 20,000 followers on TikTok through her authentic and powerful readings.

Nikki shares her extraordinary journey, beginning with her first spirit encounter at age five. Born into three indigenous tribes—Lummi, Nooksack, and LaCamel—she was raised in a culture where spiritual connections were embraced rather than feared. This cultural foundation allowed her natural abilities to flourish, though her gifts didn't fully emerge professionally until 2020.

What makes Nikki's approach refreshingly different is her emphasis on boundaries and control in mediumship. "You are in control of your gift," she reassures listeners who might be discovering their own intuitive abilities. She walks us through how she protects her energy, works with her spirit guides (including her main guide Jonathan), and uses meditation to strengthen her connection to the spirit world.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Nikki demonstrates a real-time clairvoyance exercise, offering a glimpse into how she trains aspiring mediums in her mentorship program. As both a professional medium and spiritual mentor, she tailors her teaching approach to each student's natural abilities, whether they're complete beginners or practicing intuitives looking to refine specific skills.

Nikki's authenticity shines through as she candidly discusses the challenges of professional readings, from skeptical clients to the occasional difficult session. Her approach combines clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance, creating a multi-dimensional channel for spirits to communicate through signs, symbols, and direct messages.

Whether you're curious about connecting with loved ones who've passed, exploring your own intuitive gifts, or simply fascinated by the mysterious world of mediumship, this episode offers illuminating insights from someone walking the path with grace, power, and indigenous wisdom.

Allison Kindelspire, founder and CEO of WealthWalks and Wealth Collective, shares her journey from medical device industry veteran to creator of two global brands connecting female entrepreneurs through intentional networking. After realizing traditional networking events were merely sales pitches in disguise, she created a revolutionary system for forging meaningful business connections.

• Founded WealthWalks, connecting female founders monthly for intentional walks across six Australian cities and three US cities, with London coming soon
• Built a global networking brand based on the science that walking increases creativity by 60%
• Created a scalable model by matching women so they can meet without the founder being present
• Developed Wealth Collective, an application-only community for ambitious female entrepreneurs making at least $5,000/month
• Explains how delusion about success is sometimes necessary – "You have to have a sense of delusion that it will absolutely not fail"
• Shares how bringing in co-founders was crucial to scaling – "I would never have been able to do this if I would have just kept doing my own thing"
• Demonstrates how entrepreneurs can build AI-proof businesses through authentic connection and community
• Advises aspiring entrepreneurs to curate their social media feeds with inspirational figures who lift them up
• Emphasizes the importance of saying no to opportunities that don't align with your vision – "If it's not a fuck yes, it's a fuck no"
