My journey to becoming a published author wasn’t as glamorous as I expected. After going all-in on the launch of Be Seen, I experienced the highs and lows of the process: launch burnout, unexpected struggles, and an intense learning curve.

I’ll teach how to balance your energy, manage expectations, and keep your book’s message alive long after the launch.  Whether you're thinking about writing a book or are in the middle of your own launch, this episode will save you time, energy, and frustration by shedding light on the behind-the-scenes reality of being an author.  "You will get bad reviews. If you don't, it means no one's paying attention." ~ Jen Gottlieb In this Episode: - Launch burnout: what it really feels like and how to avoid it - Managing energy throughout the book launch process - Promoting your book is a long game - The powerful credibility that comes with being an author - Reading the audible version is challenging and exhausting - Negative reviews are a sign that your book is being seen  - Book two feels harder - Book meetups for continued engagement The Be Seen book meetup in Las Vegas is happening on November 14th!

Ever wondered why some speakers light up a room while others send people reaching for their phones? It’s not always about having the perfect words. It’s about how you make people feel in the moment. I’ve watched enough keynotes, TED Talks, and conferences to spot the habits that instantly lower a speaker’s influence, and trust me, you don’t want to make the same mistakes.  Today, I’m sharing the missteps that cause audiences to disengage and how you can turn your talks into experiences that people remember long after they leave. We’ll talk about why starting with your resume is a sure way to lose the room, how to simplify your slides, and why “what if” questions beat bossy instructions every time.  Whether you’re stepping onto a conference stage or leading a Zoom training, these shifts will make your talks magnetic, memorable, and impactful. If you’re ready to raise your influence and become the kind of speaker people can’t stop talking about, get your notebook and press play!  "The best speakers invite people into the opportunity to think about what it would be like for them to change. (Instead of just telling them what to do.)" ~ Jen Gottlieb In this Episode: - Mistake #1: Info dumping instead of storytelling - How to build your story bank: 4 types of stories - Mistake #2: Memorizing your lines and how it kills your authenticity - Mistake #3: Speaking at people instead of speaking with them - Mistake #4: Starting your speech with your resume - Mistake #6: Having too many slides - Mistake #7: Telling people what to do Where to find me: IG: https://www.instagram.com/jen_gottlieb/    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jen_gottlieb     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Jenleahgottlieb    Website: https://jengottlieb.com/   My business: https://www.superconnectormedia.com/

What does it take to turn an idea into a game-changing product?

Despite the odds, she kept pushing forward, trusting her intuition and eventually landing two investors.  Hayley’s story is proof that with perseverance and belief in your idea, anything is possible. Tune in to hear how she made her dream a reality and what you can learn from her entrepreneurial journey!   "You have to love your business so much that even on your worst days as a founder, you wouldn't trade it." ~Hayley Segar In this Episode: - How a swimsuit frustration sparked Hailey’s big idea - Turning a living room vision into a real product - Navigating doubt and DIY entrepreneurship without a fashion background - Using TikTok to sell out—twice—without ad spend - Landing a double Shark Tank deal with Jamie and Barbara - How mindset work helped her overcome self-doubt - Growing post-Shark Tank and building the “Spanx of swimwear” About Hayley Segar: Hayley Segar always loved fashion, but hated swimwear. Nothing ever fit right. Until one day in 2019, after a frustrating try-on session, she said out loud: “I just want a swimsuit that fits like my favorite no-show underwear.” That lightbulb moment sparked Onewith Swim. Launched in 2021, Onewith created swimwear designed to fit like seamless underwear: dig-free, elastic-free, and edgeless. It’s gone viral for solving a problem most women didn’t think could be solved, and in 2025, Hayley brought the brand to Shark Tank, landing a deal with Barbara Corcoran and Jamie Kern Lima.

Do you ever feel like networking was made for extroverts… and you're just trying to survive the small talk without fleeing? As someone who thrives in cozy clothes with my dogs more than in a crowded room, I get it.
