Welcome to Leveling Up with Lindsay, the podcast
where we dive into leadership, small business,
and everything in between. I'm Lindsay, your
host and the proud owner of White Puny Boutique,
a space created to empower women, build confidence,
and foster meaningful connections. Whether you're
an entrepreneur, a mom, a friend, or someone
just looking for a little inspiration. This is
your space to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Join me as we share stories, strategies, and
a little bit of life's chaos while navigating
what it truly means to level up in starting a
business, relationship, and personal growth.
So grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's
level up together. Today's conversation is a
really special one for me. There are some people
in your life who don't just witness your journey.
They walk it with you. Season by season, decision
by decision, doubt by doubt. Today's guest is
one of those people for me. Mandy Moon and I
started our businesses around the same time.
Before the titles, before the strategies, before
the Polish language, there were late nights,
voice notes, hard conversations, big dreams,
and a lot of, are we doing this right moments?
Mandy is the kind of leader who doesn't just
build brands. She builds people. She sees what
others miss. She brings clarity where things
feel messy. And she has a rare gift for helping
women lead with both confidence and conviction.
Over the years, I've watched her grow from a
woman figuring things out in real time into a
trusted advisor, strategist, and now the founder
of something incredibly intentional, the Legacy
Brand Collective. This conversation isn't about
quick wins or flashy success. It's about what
happens after you take the leap. It's about why
leadership can feel lonely and why it doesn't
have to stay that way. Today I'm not just interviewing
Mandy, I'm giving her the space to lead us through
a conversation she designed herself rooted in
experience, strategy, and heart. If you're a
woman building something meaningful, if you've
ever felt isolated at the top, or if you're craving
clarity, connection, and sustainable growth,
this episode is for you. Mandy, I am so proud
of you and I can't wait for everyone listening
to hear exactly what you're building. Wow, Lindsey.
Thank you. I couldn't have said that better myself.
Well, Andy, you and I started our businesses
around the same time. Can you take us back, take
us back to those early days and talk about what
that season felt like? Where were we at? Let's
bring it back to the very beginning. It is really
crazy to think about. Doesn't that feel like
literally another lifetime ago? It kind of does
and then it kind of doesn't. I still feel a little
bit vulnerable in that state. Yes. Yeah. Like
we don't, do we know what we're doing? Yes. Yes,
we do. Yes. Lindsay, you and I met, it's got
to be. Over 10 years ago, it was pretty crazy
through some mutual friends. But we had a really
unique period of time where you and me and a
couple other friends of ours, like we all just
decided to do our own thing, start a business.
And we all went different directions, which I
think is really fun. But we kind of all left
corporate America all at the same time, which
is strange. Within a few months, within a year
or so. So it was really kind of special to have
that Bond together. I think it was like a natural
thing that just kind of brought us together even
further very different places Very different
directions, but there's something that like just
naturally connected us and we step by step I
don't know. Yeah, I would say it came from a
place of like we don't know what the hell we're
doing like SOS because we were friends already
we felt comfortable like asking asking each other
for help and figuring out what to do and we all
of a sudden started the infamous group chat that
is still active to this day. We speak on the
group chat every day, but it's like our safe
spot, right? When we don't have time to meet
up or we don't have time to call on the phone
or whatever, we're in the group chat asking questions,
figuring things out. And honestly, I don't think
that I would be the same. type of person, the
same type of business owner. If we didn't have
that kind of special community at the beginning,
it really helped kind of elevate at least me
and launch and go and make decisions differently.
I completely agree. Cause there's just something
when you can feel safe and vulnerable with a
group and you don't feel alone. Like you said,
we've talked about everything from being a mom
to starting taking the leap to the most scared
version of ourselves to the happiest, most excited
version. There's just something about. not doing
that alone and the validation. It's true and
when you said that that just made me think like
every big win passed through the group chat first
like every major decision goes through the group
chat first. Love this group chat. Every big win,
every loss, every... You know, everything goes
through the chat. It's like we experience it
together, which makes it all the better. Now
that I've been in business for a long time and
you've been doing this for what seems like forever,
forever, but not forever. What I've noticed is
that that kind of connection is actually really
rare. It was really special and really rare that
we had that opportunity. And it's like, to me,
I look out and see other women doing their thing
on their own. And I'm like, Man, you need community.
You need support. How can we support you? And
it's impossible, right, to support everybody
that needs help on your own. But I really truly
believe that support group is what made me who
I am as a business owner. If you're listening
and you have that group of friends that you guys
are communicating with and... bring all of your
highest wins and your lowest lows and your vulnerability
to each other, but you can also empower, inspire
and motivate. I think you can kind of resonate
with this a little bit. And if you don't keep
listening. When we had that group check going
in the beginning and we're getting through these
times, I also remember saying, you know, late
nights where I was like, I just don't know what
I would do without this outlet. I think it is
so powerful. And at the time, I didn't realize
how powerful it was until probably now. Yeah.
You know what I mean? It definitely is a moment
of reflection, especially when I'm working with
businesses, I'm working with people, I'm working
with entrepreneurs every day, and I see the struggles
that they have, and they are consistent. Like,
you might be an entrepreneur, or you might be
a business owner, or you might be a leader out
there thinking, nobody knows the struggle, you
know? That's just untrue. Struggles are consistent
with everybody. No matter what you're dealing
with, somebody out there is dealing with it.
dealing with it or has dealt with it, there is
a path, there are solutions, there are ways to
work around it, but you don't know what you don't
know. And sometimes when you're so close to it,
it is so helpful to have that group with different
perspective to kind of help pull you out of your
imposter, I don't know what I'm doing, like constant
phone calls to Lindsey. That imposter syndrome.
I mean, honestly, I don't know that I've spoke
with one person that hasn't dealt with that in
a time in their life. And if you have it more
powerful, no more power. They're lying. Power
to you if you haven't listened. They're lying
and it's lies. I love that. So imposter syndrome
is something I think everyone has battled with
at different times in their lives. Having this
group of women, each of us as our own business
owners. And I think they're definitely looking
Looking back in the grand scheme of the last
10 years of us being friends and this group chat
going and even us going from corporate to that,
there are definitely like cycles, patterns, I
guess. And as everyone needs someone to lean
on emotional support system, your hype girls,
all the things, ultimately it is up to you to
put something into action. And I think that's
kind of what we're going to talk about. Yeah,
absolutely. So the group chat is very, very helpful.
As Lindsay said, The hype girl status is super,
super important to have your people that encourage
you. But hype only takes you so far. You can
only get your friends to be like, you got this
girl, you know, for so long before, like you
said, Lindsay, you have to take action. And there
are many of us who are action oriented. You and
I are very like action oriented. But when you
don't know what action to take, you know, when
you get to a place where we've never been here
before, we don't know the roadmap, we don't know
what to do. What you people like you and I do
instead is we just try this and we try this and
we try that and we try this and we're just going
and trying until we're all of a sudden hustling
and burnt out and like you can't do anything
anymore. We were lucky enough to get introduced
to... Kent, who we call our business dad. Business
dad. Kent is our strategic advisor. He has a
company called 4G Consulting. Yep. Lindsay and
I have been working with Kent for years. Yeah.
Years and years. Gosh, I think we're going on,
is it three years for me now? I've known Kent
for, so we both have for a long time, but really
working side by side with him has been the biggest
blessing of my career. Like it has changed the
trajectory, not only of my career, but of my
confidence and standing in my strengths. Yes.
I would agree with that. Having a strategic advisor,
having somebody who knows you and who we feel
has our best interest in mind is probably the
best thing you could ever do for your business.
Kent asked me to join 4G advisory about a month
ago, which was so crazy. I feel so honored. It's
like a full circle moment. When I heard of this,
I was like, if anyone out there has, you know,
worked with Mandy in the slightest, met Mandy,
saw anything on her socials in her, you know,
past and all that she has done. Her career is
incredible. Your career. I'm saying her. She's
right here. Your career is incredible. And knowing
Kent. I talk about my business advisor a lot
to my friends and family, and I mean a lot. Like
I look at him as honestly an arm of my family
at this point because I trust him. I'm so fortunate
and I know you can say the same, that we can
trust him with like literally our everything.
So when Mandy brought this up to me, I was like...
Are you kidding me? Absolutely this aligns so
perfectly in my mind Not just because I love
them as friends that feel like family But as
an outsider seeing what they're doing their mission
their values and everything There is not a stronger.
I think partnership. I'm very excited to be able
to even just the I'll say this, Kent asking me
to join 4G advisory as a strategic advisor feels
like a full circle moment because Kent has like
poured all of this time energy effort into helping
me grow my business. And I feel like I've learned
so much, not only from my own experience out
on the field, but just from working so closely
with Kent and just to have the validation for
him to be like, you're ready. I totally feel
it. And I just feel empowered to share all of
these strategies. that I've learned from Kent
from my experience on the field with other women
in business because that cohort that we had that
was so rare I so strongly feel everybody needs
that everybody needs that everybody deserves
to find their people everybody deserves they
deserve to find their people because it should
not be lonely at the top you should not feel
lonely and isolated as a business owner you shouldn't
have to feel like you're compromising your relations
in order to be, quote unquote, successful, it
should go hand in hand. Your work life should
match your home life, and things should be aligned.
It should feel right. I love that. I could literally
speak from a mountaintop to this. As starting
a business on my own, I legitimately felt, yes,
you have friends, great friends, great family
who support you, but it is a very lonely place.
And in the beginning, I was definitely the one
who was like, I'm gonna prove myself, I'm gonna
do all these things, running, honestly, like
a chicken. in my head cut off because I thought
I had to prove and we've talked about this Mandy
and I so many times like the hustle moments all
the things but what I stand in now that I had
to go through myself a little bit and I do not
recommend is not doing it alone Kent and you
and the incredible community that we've built
kind of on the back end business -wise is that
you should have Your own team on the back end
if you're a business owner or a really strong
leader I'm telling you you should not do this
alone But be strategic about this and it has
to align like Mandy said it I love how you say
it that way Don't do this alone If you're even
looking to start a business if you're two years
in a business if you're five years in a business
and you're like I'm tired. I need help Don't
do it alone I strongly encourage you to keep
listening here because this is going to be pretty
incredible. Let's talk a little bit now we're
going to get to the fun stuff. The fun stuff.
There's one thing that I feel passionate about
and I know I listen with all ears when Mandy
talks about legacy and in her branding and you
maybe can give people a little bit of background
about your branding experience because there
are many times with people who come to me with
marketing questions and actually I just had a
senior and I meet I'm mentoring someone now.
Yeah and we're talking about different things
with branding and I instantly bring you to the
table in that piece of marketing. Anyways, but
what makes us so much stronger is you always
talk about legacy brands. Explain a little bit
of background and then talk to everybody here
of what that means. To me, a legacy brand is
a business or a brand that's rooted in clarity.
Conviction and consistent actions. So when I
work with clients I like to work with people
who are not just out there building their business
Selling things to sell growing to grow I want
to work with people who are thinking about the
end in mind thinking about the story They want
to tell the impact that they want to leave through
their work. So a legacy brand has alignment between
their values, their decisions, the systems they
create, and then the story that they tell. A
lot of times I'll come into a company as a brand
marketing consultant, and they'll ask me about
advertising spend. They'll ask me about the actual
function of marketing, but won't take a look
at... what they're actually trying to say, the
impact that they're trying to leave, and that's
just not a good fit for me. Legacy brand focused
people are people who focus on impact. They want
to be aligned first before they grow. So, legacy
brands are built with the end in mind. It's the
story that's going to be told about you. the
story that's going to be told about the work
that you do and the impact that you leave. At
the end of the day, all we have is our legacy,
right? When we're gone, when we're dead and gone
and all of our stuff is gone. All that's left
are the stories that are told about us. And for
the people that are out there thinking, I want
to make massive impact. I want to help. I want
to make a difference. I want to change by way
of my business, by way of the work that I'm putting
out into the world. Those are my people. Legacy
is something so important to myself and I'm going
to take it a little more deep. I used to work
in the corporate America world. There were often
people who left the room and you unfortunately
were like, oh man, you know, they brought the
whole attitude down or there's someone that walked
in a room that inspired the heck out of me that
I was like, I need to have a higher frequency.
I need to be more on point. I want more motivated
because they came in the room and I started on
understanding what legacy truly meant. Then growing
up, I had a grandfather that I was incredibly
close with. You guys have probably heard me talk
about this and he was an incredible business
owner. We have the Minnesota State Fair stands.
And of course you don't take anything for granted.
I did not growing up. Like I was so grateful
for the time with him and the things that we
did, but it wasn't until he passed away and I
stayed for the week at my grandmother's house
before his funeral. And I put together, his...
picture board. That was my thing. Well, when
I was going through all the pictures, I found
all of these articles in the newspaper, you guys,
when my grandfather, it would have to have been
60 to 70 years ago. You know, these newspaper
clippings, these things that were mailed to him,
his achievements, and all those different businesses.
And as I'm putting these papers on this board
one by one by one, remembering how he made me
feel, remembering the impact he left with me,
looking at how he impacted so many other people.
I was so inspired by his legacy that I actually
and we've talked about this, but I forever Want
to do better. I want to leave a better impact
whether it's in a room I just got out of a meeting
or whether it is how you look at how I'm doing
business. So for me, this is incredibly important
I think it's incredibly important to be mindful
as an individual as a professional and You know,
of course if you're a business owner legacy is
something that I don't think we talk about enough.
And I think that the impact is so powerful. So
for me, I hope this is a constant conversation.
And of course, Mandy, with your legacy brand
that you talk about you've helped me take it
deeper because of my why and talking of course
about my grandfather and it's made me a better
human business -wise and individually so I love
that story and I think that that's why legacy
is so powerful and so important is you with the
passing of your grandfather his legacy lives
on and it still inspires you to stay the impact
is infinite you're inspired therefore you go
out to create more impact and inspire others
like that's why I think legacy is important to
both of us because we can see we can see we can
feel we can tell how much impact stories have
and that's that's kind of everything. So with
all of this being said you brought to me the
legacy brand collective. And you know, I think
listeners now kind of have an idea of where this
came from, but like, how did all of this turn
into the legacy brand collective? Yes. So for
the last few years, I've been out consulting
brand consulting for bigger businesses and it's
been very fun. I've learned a ton about leadership,
about strategy, about AI recently, right? I've
learned a lot about communication styles and
organizational structures. But what I will say
is that my heart has always been with the startup
entrepreneur. And I've been trying to find a
way to be able to help people in that place because
women come to me every day. They slide into my
DMs. I get LinkedIn meeting requests every day
and I meet with women every day and they tell
me their problems and I will tell you it's the
same. Everybody struggles with the same stuff.
No matter how isolated you feel, no matter how
unique your problem sounds, everybody has the
same issues when it comes to trying to build
a business and build the life that you want to
live. And I've been just struggling trying to
find a way to help all these people. You know,
I'm just, I'm out here building my own business,
working with corporate and we have all these
people here. I'm like, how, how am I going to
help now with joining Kent at 4G? I have structure.
I have the strategy. I have everything that I
need in order. to help these women, and now I
just have to go for it, right? I'm like, it's
here. It's here. Let's go. Let's go. I'm here
for it. I just am so excited. I really am so
excited to be able to offer this to people who
don't have easy access to it. This stuff, coaching,
consulting, strategic advisory is expensive,
and there's a reason why only corporate people
can afford it. Yes, very true. There's a reason
why only big businesses can afford strategic
advisors, right? Don't want that to be the case.
I want this information. I want these strategies
I want these structures to be available to everyone
available to people who are willing to Take action
willing to do the work to get it done. Absolutely.
So plain as day What is this collective the legacy
brand collective and then how is this different
from other groups out there? Yes, you know I
think early in our journey, when we started our
business, we were like, okay, what are you supposed
to do in order to network? There are all these
networking events. There are all these executive
peer groups that we could join. I remember starting
out and going to my first networking thing and
being like, everybody knows what they're doing
and I don't know anything. Everyone has a commercial.
Everyone knows everybody else's commercial, you
know, like, and just feeling so on the outside
and feeling so lost and so like, I do not belong
here. All these networking opportunities that
feel like you have to put on a curated front
in order to be taken seriously. But there wasn't
a place I could go to be like, I don't actually
know what I'm doing, but you should hire me anyway.
There wasn't a place to go. I don't actually
know what I'm doing. I need structure. I need
a roadmap and a safe place to ask these questions.
And so the Legacy Brand Collective started out
of that need for myself. When I first started
and when you and I first started, when our friends
first started, we had a safe place. to ask those
questions. Everybody needs a safe place to ask
the questions. The difference is now I have structure,
strategy, experience to add to that safe space.
So it is a cohesion of a place to get real deep
and to figure out your values, your brand alignment
before we dive into strategy, structure, finances,
all of that. The Legacy Brand Collective is really
a curated experience. It's really really specific
for the right type of person. And when I say
the right type of person, I do not mean the person
who has it together, the person who has their
shit together. I don't mean that type of person.
The Legacy Brand Collective is for the business
owner who is ready to... make a change, who's
ready to stop hustling just for hustle's sake,
who's ready to grow their business in alignment
with intentional, actionable steps, who needs
the roadmap. There are a lot of masterminds,
there are a lot of executive peer groups out
there. What makes the legacy brand collective
different? For me... Starting with alignment
first, before we start on strategy, before we
start talking about action items, alignment is
key. You need to understand your brand values,
you need to understand messaging, you need to
understand everything that makes you go, makes
you tick, before you can even think about making
those other decisions. What business owners often
fail to do is take the time to do that for themselves
first. You're so busy running and doing and going
and making things work, taking the time to step
back and really think about those things for
yourself. feels like a luxury, but it is not.
It is essential to get aligned. So we focus on
alignment first in order to attain sustainable
growth. Second, we focus on connection and strategy.
You need to have that safe space. You have to
have that group chat. You have to have the group
chat. You have to have the safe space in order
to ask the questions, but you also need strategy.
You need both. You can't just have that soft
safe place to land. You also need that push and
you need the roadmap and you need the strategy.
The legacy brand collective does both. We have
the collective and we have the roadmap. We also
are focusing on AI, which I think is very scary.
It is, but it's huge. It's huge. It's not going
away. You know, and I understand there are a
lot of people very, very scared of it. The really
fun thing about partnering with Kent and 4G advisory
is that we've created our own proprietary AI.
So it's safe. It's not chat GPT where your financials
or your customer information or your strategies
are out there in the world. It's private. It's
proprietary. And through the legacy brand collective,
you can get access to that proprietary AI without
the giant like dollar sign piece that comes with,
you know, most corporate situations. Also, it's
a very small cohort. Sometimes networking groups
get big, they're scary, they're loud, you know,
there are people walking around trying to sell
you their goods or services. And there's a time
and a place for that. And I think that part of
networking is very important. But this cohort,
the focus is very different. We're not here to
sell to each other. We're here to help each other
grow and to help our business grow in a sustainable
way. So a small cohort, six to eight to 10 women
maximum. Additionally, it's a 12 month commitment.
It's a high accountability, high support environment.
So if you decide to join the collective, first
there's an application process, a high vetting
process. I want to make sure I find the right
fit people for the project. It is high accountability,
but it's high yield reward. You're going to get
a ton out of the experience. Well, I love that.
I think it's important. Do not be afraid of the
process in this application. I think it's very
important to align the right people. in this
cohort too. It doesn't mean you have to have
the same, it's not going to be the same businesses,
right? It's going to be different, but it just
- All different industries, all different backgrounds.
Yes. If you're on the same page and you're here
for the same mission is what is the most important
to you. If you are the doer wanting to take it
to the next level. The doer wanting to take it
to the next level. I'm not looking for people
who want to show up. Prime and prepped and pristine
and curated I'm looking for the woman who wants
to show up raw who wants to show up and get shunned
Yeah, you know like you almost have to what I
found to be the Strongest growth period is when
I opened my whole self up Vulnerable as vulnerable
as I could be Doug you made me dig like really,
really deep into my whys. And then I was so fortunate
to have a business consultant. And of course
you in my circle to push me into the next action
steps. I'm a doer. I always have been, but for
me, it's like slowing down to align my values,
my worth in my work and moving forward. Yes.
I think that's Actually, the problem with most
doers is we will just do. We will just do, do,
do, do, hustle, hustle, hustle until something
works. Why do that when you can have a roadmap?
Why do that when you can have support? Why run
around when you don't have to be doing that?
Love that. So the legacy brand collective, this
is for doers who want to feel proud of how they're
leading, how they're living, how they're building
businesses. It's for you girl. I love that. It's
like standing in your confidence more than you
ever have. And I think that how I said that was
pretty vague, but like I've gone through this
process myself and I am telling you what standing
even in the, you know, The economy, the world
is a roller coaster in standing in what you bring
to the table, standing in your values, standing
in what you leave as far as your legacy. This
could not be more important for your growth and
your leveling up. Correct. So who is the legacy
brand collective for? Who's a good fit for the
collective? Because if we're honest, it's a good
question. It's not a good fit for everyone. Yes.
And that's really hard for me to say because
I'm an Includer. I want everybody to be included.
I don't want to leave anybody out. experience
this process really is for a specific type of
woman. We're looking for women who are two to
five years in business, I would say. So you've
taken the jump, but you are really looking for
your next step for the roadmap. Or maybe you're
someone in business who is like making a large
pivot, a big change, and you need, again, a roadmap
to make that big change for yourself. We're also
looking for women who are ready to be like truly
vulnerable, who are ready to say, I need help
in this area, which is hard to do. We're told
to fake it till you make it, right? You gotta
fake it till you make it. You walk in the room,
pretend like you know what you're doing, otherwise
you won't get taken seriously. We're not looking
for that in this space. We need people who are
going to say, hey, this is where I want to focus
because I need help here. And if you can't say
that, that's okay. You're not ready for this
quite yet. We're looking for women who are really
interested in leveraging collaboration, leveraging
networks. I would say that was a huge part of
our successful group chat, right? Leveraging
each other's networks, really holding each other
up. And then also we're looking for women who
are truly interested in sustainable growth. We're
not looking for quick fixes. We're looking for
long -term strategy. And for people who are truly
just willing to be coachable and accountable.
People who will be accountable for the actions
that they take for their next steps. I mean,
I think you can sum that all up as you're a doer.
Yeah, you're a doer like me and Lindsay doers,
doers. So what I love so much is the platform
that you're providing the organization behind
this behind the leveling up essentially. But
here's what I would love to know like the outcome.
Ultimately, This is going to be a collective
group of incredible women. But when they go through
this, tell me how you want people to feel when
they're coming out of this. Like a 12 -month
commitment, you're going through a process of
one -on -one together, you know, group effort.
It's going to get, I'm sure, intense, vulnerable,
very inspiring and motivating. So anyways...
when the 12 months is done, what does that look
like? What are you hoping people walk away? Yeah.
Yes. At the end of the day, I'm going to tell
you that I'm going to say that there are going
to be a lot of really specific outcomes after
experiencing the Legacy Brand Collective. But
if I was going to sum it up in one line, I would
say that women will look back at this decision
to join the Legacy Brand Collective and say,
That was the year that changed everything for
me. What I hope that people experience are clarity
in decisions, confidence, and the direction of
your business. What we didn't have, right? Confidence
in the roadmap, confidence in where we're going.
People will experience strategic growth instead
of chaos. I mean, I think that we kind of stumbled
through it, right, Lindsay? I mean, we're just
kind of, until we met business dad, right? Stumbling
through, making decisions, hustling here, there,
and everywhere. The benefit of having a strategic
advisor or consultant is that they have the roadmap,
right? This cohort provides the roadmap and the
support. You're going to feel support instead
of isolation. Nobody should ever feel lonely
at the top. If I could leave anything in this
world, it would be that. It would be that. It
would be a change in perspective. It is not a
dog -eat -dog world out there, ladies. You do
not need to be lonely at the top. You don't have
to be... Can I say a boss bitch? You don't have
to be like, you don't have to be a crazy person
to claw your way to the top. You can build the
life that you want to live. You can build the
business that you want to build without losing
yourself. I love that. A little mic drop there,
please. Mic drop. If there's someone listening
right now and this resonates with you in any
way, shape or form. If you want to take the next
step in your entire leveling up in your journey
as a professional, as a business owner, what
do they do? Like, what is the first step in all
of this, Mandy? You know, I'm just very excited
to be launching this with you, Lindsay, in real
time. As this episode drops, applications will
be open. Literally. Boom. Literally. Episode
drops, applications open. So you can find the
application and more information about the actual
process, more detailed information about what
we're going to learn at www .thelegacybrandcollective
.com. The Legacy Brand Collective, there is an
application process. The application process
is not a sign up or an enrollment. It's simply
to see if we are a good fit for each other, if
the collective is the right fit for you and you
are the right fit for the collective. So I would
just encourage you to listen to your intuition.
Is this a good fit for me or not? Because like
I said, it is not right for everybody, but it
is so right for the right people. So ultimately
if this sits with you. If this is burning something
inside of you, you know that you can now go to
the website to fill out an application. You could
reach out to Mandy with any questions on a personal
level. Absolutely. So if there's one question
I want to leave with everyone listening to think
pretty internally. think for themselves of what
legacy means to them. If there's a message that
you want to leave and that we should leave for
those listening about legacy, what does that
mean to you, Mandy? Yeah, we talk about legacy,
this legacy, that all, you know, but all it really
is, all your legacy is, is the stories that are
told about you and your work long after you're
gone. And the more clear you can be, the more
intentional you can be about the stories that
you're telling today, the stronger your legacy
is going to be tomorrow. Mic drop. I could not
agree with you more. We got it out there. So
join the collective, join a group of like -minded
women, build your business, get after it, take
actionable steps. Live your life. Build the life
that you're proud of. Live your life. Build a
life that you're proud of. I think what triggers
it for me is when you're at corporate world and
you have corporate Lindsay or corporate Mandy
and then you have at home Lindsay and at home
Mandy and those two people are totally different
people. Like they wouldn't even like each other.
That's a good point. That's a good point. That
is a life lived misaligned. When you can be the
same person at work, at home, in the community,
and you're acting out of your values in all of
those places, that is a life aligned. You get
to wake up every day and be that same consistent
person. To me, that's happiness. To me, that's
peace, not having to worry about fitting yourself
into all these different categories. I love that.
Mandy, as we close this conversation, I want
to say this. What you're building isn't just
a program. It's not just a collective. It's not
just another space for women in business. It's
permission. Permission to stop doing this alone.
Permission to lead with intention instead of
exhaustion. Permission to build something you're
proud of, not just something that looks successful
from the outside. And on a personal note, Mandy,
you're not just someone I've interviewed today
of course. You are my friend. You've been in
the trenches with me. You've seen the behind
-the -scenes moments, the doubts, the big decisions,
and the seasons where leadership felt so heavy.
I look up to you so much, not just for your strategy
or your intelligence, but for the way you lead
with integrity, humility, and heart. So intentionally
makes me so incredibly proud to call you my friend
I know firsthand how powerful it is to have women
in your corner who will tell you the truth challenge
your thinking and still believe in you on the
hard days and I wish Truly that something like
this existed when I was just here starting Yes,
if you're listening today and something in this
conversation stirred your heart trust that this
isn't about chasing the next thing it's about
building what lasts because legacy brand isn't
built in isolation. It's built in clarity. It's
built in community and it's built by women who
are brave enough to say, I want to lead well,
not just grow fast. Mandy, I'm so proud of you.
Thank you for creating this space you once needed
and now so many others do too. So excited. Can't
wait. Let's go. I love it. Thank you for listening.
