Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Shrinking and Rise with Cassandra Crawley Mayo – Ep.391
Q: What were the top two challenges you navigated when starting your own business?
First, the transition from a corporate environment where resources are readily available to running a business on your own, including building a personal support network and managing finances. Second, dealing with the barrage of offers and potential investments after becoming a best-selling author, requiring discernment to avoid scams and wasted money.
Stop Shrinking and Rise with Cassandra Crawley Mayo – Ep.391
Q: Tell us a little bit about your last corporate role and what led you to leave.
I was vice president of client relations, working from the president's office to retain business and understand why deals were won or lost. Despite external success, I felt a growing internal unease and a calling to do more meaningful work, which eventually pushed me toward retirement and starting my own venture.
Financial Freedom Smarter Not Harder with Ira Kaganovsky – Ep.390
Q: Where did Freedom come from and what's next for the brand?
Freedom began when I adopted a product idea from a friend and evolved the branding and packaging to appeal to high-end retailers. The next phase has been expanding beyond deodorant into wipes for hotels and airlines, pivoting as needed to stay profitable and scalable while maintaining a mission around health and sustainability.
Financial Freedom Smarter Not Harder with Ira Kaganovsky – Ep.390
Q: Tell us how that phrase, start your own business, has turned into Freedom Deodorant.
I ended up starting my own financial firm, then a few years later, after personal experiences and a medical scare, I redirected the business into natural products. The idea for Freedom came from a combination of necessity, opportunity, and ultimately taking control of a brand that could scale—starting with natural deodorant and then expanding into wipes for hospitality and travel.
Turn Authentic Relationships Into Referral Revenue with Sarah Hubbard – Ep.387
Q: How do you approach messaging to be precise and effective in networking?
Encourage recording and reviewing your 30-second pitch, simplifying language, avoiding broad claims, and tailoring the message to be specific to the audience and context.
