Lisa Cook – Making BIG Waves in Business with Lisa Cook, Founder & CEO of kidSwim

July 8, 2020 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Lisa Cook on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

I met my guest Lisa Cook, on a 7am flight to LA (no makeup, no hair, no coffee) years ago and the rest they say is history.

Lisa started her business, kidSwim, the Premier Development Based Swim Education Company in Southern California, as a way to make some extra money during the summer. Armed with a flip phone, a paper calendar and a rental car, she started jumping in the pool with LA toddlers. That was 19 years ago. Since then, she, along with her instructors, have taught nearly 10,000 kids how to swim.

On today’s show, Lisa talks about her mindset behind creating her swimming empire and her children’s book, See Me Bubble, which is available on Amazon in both English & Spanish. She also shares how to push aside the ego to achieve success, advice on cash flow and much more.

Start delegating as soon as you can. Don’t wait until you feel like you are under a rock.” – Lisa Cook

Show Notes:

  • Her “Secret Sauce” on serving Influencers in Hollywood – this will probably shock you
  • The moment she recognized that it was time to get serious about her business
  • The astonishing (and positive) awareness that occurred as a result of the pandemic – she Now Feels Free
  • How her Biggest Challenge is something most would consider an asset
  • Why LEADERSHIP matters more than almost anything else in business
  • Advice she wished someone would have shared before she jumped in the water to teach that first lesson
  • Why waiting 24 hours can be PURE GOLD
  • The most important communication you can have with your TEAM that builds loyalty
  • And much, much, more

When the staff knows they are respected and supported, they are more willing to go the extra mile.” – Lisa Cook

Julie Deane (Part 2 of 2) – She Took Less Than $1000 and Turned it Into Millions (in 5 years) With the Idea for What Would Become The Cambridge Satchel Company

May 30, 2018 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Julie Deane on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

Last week’s Episode with Julie Deane, Founder and CEO of Cambridge Satchel, was spilling over with entrepreneurial gold and wisdom from a woman who owns every aspect of what it takes to build a multi-million dollar empire.

This week's Episode (Part 2 of 2), Julie opens up even deeper and reveals how she managed being in “survival mode” trying to keep a company afloat, dissolving a marriage and staying present for two teenage children.

Julie and I talk deeply about feminine energy and how different “energies” are playing a role in a woman’s life – both at home and at work. We also look at what I call “the unconscious emotional triggers” and how this can be a major trap that women fall into.

If I don’t take those opportunities now, they might not come again. They might not come again when I’ve decided, ‘Oh maybe I’m brave enough now.’ So grab it when it comes.” – Julie Deane

Show Notes:

  • The one simple QUESTION that stumped Julie when she found herself in “survival mode”
  • WHY she finally decided to embrace her “inner goddess”
  • The moment Julie knew it was time to “get back to basics” and let go of her EGO – this is GENIUS & not to be missed if you’re serious about growing a company that has staying power
  • The classic MISTAKE Julie sees women entrepreneurs making over & over again – BEST Learning moment for sure
  • The ONE thing you must have when you are PITCHING your idea to persuade others to pull out their checkbooks to fund your BIG idea
  • Julie’s adventures in online dating and how “Grace” was born (funny & hilarious, Julie describes in detail her encounter with a French/Latin dinner date)
  • And much, much more…

I either don’t care about something because it is not important, or I really care about something because it is important. And there isn’t a middle ground.” – Julie Deane

You don’t want to be a business person in all aspects of your life, because actually that becomes deeply unattractive.” – Julie Deane
