🎙️ Episode 16: Firefighters, Navy SEALs, and Ninjas In this episode, I’m diving into sales leadership through three personas: the Firefighter, the Navy SEAL, and the Ninja. It’s a conversation about how we show up as leaders — not just to solve problems, but to create sustainable, scalable impact. I share how a recent compliment on my leadership style led me to realize that what feels natural to some of us isn’t always common practice and it’s time we bring that awareness to the forefront for sales leaders, managers, and consultants across every industry. 🔥 Here’s what...

🎙 Episode 13: FROM BOOKSTACKS TO EARBUDS: HOW LEADERS KEEP GROWING In this episode, we’re flipping the script a little. This one’s not about sales strategies or closing techniques. This one is about growth. Real, continuous, intentional growth. Every month, I post my book stack, and without fail someone asks, “How do you read so much?” The truth is… I just built it into my life. I swap mindless TV for meaningful pages. I carry a book everywhere. I make space for learning like other people make space for Netflix. But not everyone’s a reader — and that’s okay. In this episode,...

🎙 Episode 12: WHY SCRIPTS KILL TRUST (AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD) This is a solo episode that every salesperson, coach, and leader needs to hear. Let’s be real: the quickest way to kill a sale (and your credibility) is to sound like you’re reading from someone else’s script. Authenticity can’t be copy-pasted — and neither can trust. In this episode, I unpack one of my core beliefs: you don’t need a script to sell — you need preparation, personalization, and presence. I share a true story from early in my career, when I thought mimicking a top performer’s words would unlock...

While the details change depending on who tells it, the lesson stays the same: sales success has far less to do with scripts, value stacks, or flashy decks, and far more to do with connection, common ground, and authentic conversation. Mandy shares how this timeless lesson applies to modern sales and why the best salespeople don’t obsess over tactics—they focus on people. She also gives a peek into...

🎙️ Episode 17: Sales Start with Vision

If your sales feel scattered, inconsistent, or heavy… this episode is the reset you need. Today, we’re breaking down why every powerful sales motion starts with vision. Unpopular opinion, it’s not scripts, not tactics, not hustle…Vision.

Because when you’re clear on where you’re going, the way you sell, lead, and show up becomes intentional. And intentionality creates confidence. Confidence creates consistency. And consistency creates conversions.

Inside this episode, we dig into what it actually looks like to build a vision your team can rally around, how to anchor your daily actions to that vision, and why clarity is the difference between a team that performs and a team that burns out.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • Why vision is the foundation of every high-performing sales culture
  • How to create clarity your team can feel, not just hear
  • The link between vision, accountability, and daily habits
  • What happens when your onboarding and coaching reinforce the wrong things
  • How to course-correct when your team drifts from the mission

Takeaways you’ll want to write down:

  • Vision isn’t a vibe — it’s a strategy.
  • You cannot ask your team for consistency if you haven’t given them clarity.
  • The way you onboard people sets the tone for the culture you build.
  • When the vision is strong, the tactics become simple.

My challenge to you this week:

Ask yourself, “Is my vision strong enough to hold the goals I keep setting?”
If the answer feels like a maybe, this episode will help you tighten it up.

Ready to align your vision with action, energy, and revenue?

If you're tired of guessing, piecing it together alone, or running a team that feels way busier than it is productive… let’s work together. I help leaders build sales systems and learning ecosystems that match the vision they say they want — and generate the revenue to support it.
If you’re ready to lead with clarity and sell with confidence, reach out. Your next level starts with vision.

If this conversation pushed you, encouraged you, or gave you your fire back… share it with someone who needs it. And as always, thank you for chasing impact with me — not just sales.
