When Brennen and I started this podcast, we knew the topic of getting unstuck would resonate but we didn’t realize how many people would have such powerful and interesting stories that they were willing to share with us like the one from Jennifer Iannolo, whom I interviewed on our show today. She went from being in the world of luxurious food and wine and starting the FIRST food podcast to learning she had a debilitating disease that forced her to switch gears and change careers...and boy did she change careers. Check out the episode to find out how she got unstuck in a major way!

This week our show is brought to you by our introductory Getting Unstuck Program, which is a FREE course. I can speak from my own personal experience as to how fearful and anxious I was at times once I stepped out on my own and decided to build my own consulting business,. I had a vision and a mission, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to work and how it was all going to come together. I pushed passed the fear and then enlisted my own advice, which is detailed out in Goal Magic’s Getting Unstuck Program, and I can tell you honestly and with complete sincerity that this stuff works, folks! I now have 3 signed contracts and more inquiries about my work than I can manage in any given day.
