Part 1: The Women Who Built the Industry: Amy Porterfield, Adley Kinsman, Stacy Tuschl, Leanne Lopez Mosley & Ashley Brock on Influence, Identity & What It Costs
In a first-ever Woman of Influence Table Talk, I gather five powerhouse women in one room for a no-holds-barred conversation about what it really takes to build, hold, and protect true influence. I’m joined by Amy Porterfield, Stacy Tuschl, Leanne Lopez Mosley, Adley Kinsman, and Ashley Brock five women who have collectively built multi-million dollar businesses, generated billions of views, scaled iconic brands, and earned their elevation by doing the work most women aren’t willing to do. We open the conversation with the question every woman in business needs to sit with: when did you first realize you had cultivated real influence, and what did it cost you?
This is a raw and grounding conversation about being misunderstood, raising your standard when it’s the most inconvenient, the people-pleasing patterns that quietly cap your influence, and why you cannot have any form of real influence and still chase universal approval. We talk about Amy’s decision to retire a $60 million program and the public backlash that followed, Stacy’s framework of “$100 million CEO” thinking, Adley’s concept of Cringe Mountain, Leanne’s evolution into Rich Queen and Soft Girl Millions, and Ashley’s identity-shifting realization that she was a thought repeater, not a thought leader. If you’ve ever felt the tension between being liked and being free, this episode is your invitation to choose the latter and stay tuned for Part 2.
