151: It's Not That Deep: Business Pivots and Permission to Keep Going with Sara Dean
About this episode
Sara Dean discusses her podcast pivot and the lessons learned from her journey in business and life.
Mari welcomes back Sara Dean - host of Shameless Leadership podcast with 970 episodes and millions of downloads - as The Crew's newest business coach faculty member. Sara shares how she seamlessly pivoted her podcast from Shameless Mom Academy after 8 years and 900 episodes (spoiler: she made it a grad school project), why she said yes to joining faculty despite being extremely sought-after, and her son's favorite phrase that became her biggest life lesson: "Mom, it's not that deep." They discuss the through-lines in career pivots versus chasing noise, why getting enough rejection means you're asking enough, how three to five years of nos led to Sara's easiest and biggest contract ever, and why women's egos hold us back while men's overconfidence propels them forward. Plus, Mari admits she recorded their 2021 interview from her car because her house was chaotic, and neither of them realized September 2021 was actually four years ago, not "like a year and a half."
