#28 TSE - Direct To Success with Minessa Konecky

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 15:58:14 -0300

This week I chat with Minessa Konecky. She is a transformation coach, writer, founder of the Social Strategy Squad, co-host of the Friends in our Phone podcast, and creator of the Roadmap to SuccessTM bootcamp. She spent the last several years helping female entrepreneurs successfully integrate business into their lives without letting it take over entirely. Her mission is to empower businesswomen to design and live the life they want to right now by using an effective blend of mindfulness, neuropsychology, social media know-how, and a f**kton of 80s and 90s pop culture analogies.
