Trust isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the currency of business and relationships.

Imagine the power behind being truly seen, heard, and valued; that’s what sets leaders and coaches apart. So why do so many careers and partnerships unravel, even when we know trust matters?

The answer lies in the difference between genuine connection and empty charisma. If you’ve ever wondered how to build trust quickly and avoid feeling resentful or burned, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Episode Highlights:

12:39 - That pattern of behavior is probably not gonna set their relationships up for success because most people will not. Their intensity usually intimidates people. So most people are not gonna tell you the full truth of what you probably could hear.

18:15 - If I believe, if I don't bring it up, I am going to turn away from the relationship and I'm going to start getting resentful. I owe it to the person and the relationship to say something.

21:19 - Almost everyone will rise to the level of trust they are given. Now, there will be a few in life that don't, but most people, when you're vulnerable or you see them and you recognize them and you do all these behaviors, most people will rise up to the level of trust that they're given.

Ready to change the way you connect with others, and create impact that lasts a lifetime? In this conversation, Heather Price explores the overlooked power of handwritten notes with award-winning author Amy Daughters.

In a digital world drowning in fleeting messages, what if the simplest act, putting pen to paper, could transform your personal and professional relationships, boost emotional wellbeing, and drive more referrals?

Episode Highlights:

13:49 - The real plot twist is the person who's writing the notes probably walks away more changed than the person who receives the notes. Because you end up changing the culture of your own heart by doing this. Because you look at the whole rest of the world differently, and you realize that you can spread hope in this world where hope is.

17:55 - Handwriting is a element of our personality that we don't share with any. Anybody anymore. And the great thing about our handwriting is it represents our personality, but we also can't be perfect in our filtered world. We're going to show people our imperfections by using our handwriting.

24:29 - It's a human to human connection, rather a business to a customer connection and there's such value in them.

26:16 - I'm going to step out outside the box and I'm just going to give this a whirl and if it crashes horribly, good for that.

Is your business stuck competing on price and product, but losing out to competitors who always seem one step ahead? The financial services market is crowded, and standing out feels impossible.

But what if your client experience became your ultimate differentiator—the secret sauce clients rave about and refer? Imagine your services becoming so memorable, clients can’t help but talk about you. Are you missing the simple moves that create “shareable moments” and lead to effortless word-of-mouth growth?

Heather sat down with customer experience expert Dan Gingiss for an energizing conversation on how financial advisors—and anyone who works directly with clients—can cultivate influence and drive referrals through simple, effective customer experiences.

Episode Highlights

05:53 - Now, if you can't figure out what the image is, you don't have a shareable experience yet. But when you do figure out what that image is, you design the experience around that image.

07:02 - Now, if you can't figure out what the image is, you don't have a shareable experience yet. But when you do figure out what that image is, you design the experience around that image.

17:53 - I always make a point of paying attention to people's backgrounds on Zoom because when they got books on the shelf or when they've got different tchotchkes or whatever, I'm paying attention to what those are. Well, this guy had a giant framed Michael Jordan jersey on the wall.

25:35 - if we start off with a referral from somebody who's seen me speak, my close rate is like 90%, right? Those are the easy calls to have because they're already sold on me.

If you think building a business is just about strategy, systems, or ambition, you might be missing the real work. Over the past twelve years of running my own coaching and consulting practice, I’ve learned that entrepreneurship isn’t just a career path, it’s a personal growth journey. It will stretch your courage, discipline, and purpose more than any business plan ever could.

In this episode, I’m sharing the five biggest lessons that have shaped my journey: courage, discipline, follow-through, knowing your “why,” and leading with an abundance mindset.

I talk about why the scariest leaps are often the most rewarding, how flexibility without discipline can derail progress, and why consistency, not constant hustle, is what builds lasting influence.

I also reflect on what it really takes to stay grounded in your purpose when the grind feels endless and why community, confidence, and clarity matter more than ever.

Join me as I celebrate Women’s Small Business Month and honor the courage, creativity, and resilience it takes to build something that lasts.

Episode Highlights:

01:25 How courage shows up after you take action—not before

01:53 Why “flexibility without discipline leads to failure” (and what that really means for entrepreneurs)

02:55 The underrated power of following through on what you say you’ll do

03:26 How clarifying your “why” makes work easier, more fulfilling, and more fun

04:56 Shifting from scarcity to abundance—why there’s room for everyone to win
