Save Transcript: Hey everybody, if you listen to last week’s episode, we talked to Rodney Smith, who was really starting a movement with his lawn cutting business, cutting people’s lawns for free, that needed help. And he created a movement where people started doing this all over the country and becoming part of his organization. And so I wanted to talk about that a little bit more and dive into it. And so today I have with us a expert on creating movements. So if you have a business, or you have an idea for a business, or even if you want to help an organization that you volunteer for, create more of a movement, this episode might really help you. So I’m excited to share with you a little bit more and have you hear more about starting a movement. Welcome to the art of living big. My name is Betsy Pake entrepreneur, author and personal success coach. This is the show that brings you stories and small ideas to help you live a big life. I hope this once a week podcast will inspire you, motivate you and encourage you to think differently about what could be possible for your life. Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let’s go live big. Hey, everybody, I am here with my friend today. Ashley Bowden. Hey, Ashley, thanks for being on the show. Thanks for having me. So tell everybody I Well, I feel like I say this every single week. Like I really love you. But I only have people on I really love. But there’s something special about you. And people will know what I mean, when this interview is over. But tell everybody what it is that you do and who you who you’re who you be. Yeah, totally. And so as you know, my name is Ashley. And I work with women who are on a mission to help them create movements to go along with their brands. So I’m really big into working with people to if they don’t know their message already to discover it. And then if they know it already, to help turn that message into movement so that they can really grow their business in a meaningful way. And then at the same time, I also run, I also like live the talk because I run my own movement called the imperfect boss, and which is all about liberating women from perfect and getting them to really own who they are in the online space. Which is so hard because there is so much noise online. And there’s so much of like showing us like this perfect Instagram profile and this perfect website and right there is like this undercurrent of like we all have to be perfect to be worth something. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think we have all felt like the sting of that in a way. Yeah. So how do we get over that? Like, what do we do? I think honestly, part of it is just, which is what really happens through these campaigns that I do is just, and getting ourselves to a place where we can just bring who we really are. So bring the good stuff, and also bring the messy stuff and use that in a way to connect with our audience to connect with people. So and so for example, you know, like, in my own life, I could say, you know, I wasn’t always this confident, like, there were times where I really felt insecure. And I really felt like I didn’t have a voice and it was and you know, through discovering who I am, that I was able to start really increasing my confidence. And then I can start to share that story start to share those kinds of imperfections with people. And it really creates a sense of connection not only with my audience, but just in general,
