Authentic Connections with Taylor Burke

HAPPY FUCK YEAH FRIDAY BEAUTY INSIDERS!

 

My guest this week is Taylor Burke. Let me introduce you a little bit before we dive into the topic for today!

 

From a very young age Taylor's passion was entertaining, being in front of the camera, and sharing stories. In fact, growing up, she always got in trouble in school and during cheer practice for being too talkative. Teachers would move her seat literally every single week and they would say “how can you talk to everyone!???”.

 

By the time Taylor was in 5th grade she knew she was supposed to be some type of entertainer/host. She always told everyone that she wanted to be like Giuliana Rancic or Ryan Seacrest. 

 

Taylor wanted to be successful. She puts it out into the Universe that she wants to be a millionaire, have a large house, a Range Rover, have her own show, have a world-renowned podcast, because speaking it is putting into existence. Fast forward to today - she is on the path and is now a podcast host who is absolutely making an impact.

 

On this episode we are talking:
- Being Authentic & The Fear of Failure

- The importance of Branding
- How marketing can directly impact your bottom line
- Letting go of the fear of DIVING DEEP
- Speaking to your audience
- Podcast Tips & Tricks

- Building habits

 

If you have ever considered starting a podcast or heard that little voice telling you to do so, or if you are already a podcaster - this episode has some incredible insight for you! Take a listen and let me know what your biggest takeaway is!

 

Where Are My Independent Beauty Pros with Lynzie Smith

Ok, Beauty insiders - this episode is a must listen if you are in the beauty industry! 

 

My guest today is Lynzie Smith, an independent Hairstylist and Makeup Artist. 

 

In 2012, Lynzie launched her business as an Independent Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist. While navigating the process of Entrepreneurship in the Beauty Industry, Lynzie began offering Coaching Services and hosting Networking Events and Workshops to other Beauty Professionals looking to leave the traditional structure of Salons and Spas and become Independent. In the process, she learned so much from the Artists she was coaching. This led to the idea of launching a Platform designed specifically for the Solopreneur in the Beauty Industry, providing a space for all members to contribute their success stories, ask for support, learn from one another, and easily network with others who've shared a similar journey!

Independent Beauty Pros launched in April 2020, and quickly grew with a Community of Members of Independent Hair Stylists, Barbers, Makeup Artists, Manicurists, and Estheticians. IBP is inclusive to all Independent Artists in the Beauty Industry, because while the services offered may be different, the business requirements to be successful are the same. Creating this space for all Independent Artists also creates new opportunities for Cross Promotion and Referral. 

As the Founder of IBP, Lynzie truly appreciates the hard work that goes into successfully building a business. Her passion for Networking and Education creates a truly collaborative approach to promoting others, she sees herself on this platform as an IBP Member. We each have something unique to share, and we'll always have more to learn!
