#entrepreneurship #masterbrand #burnoutprevention We are opening season 2, with a dynamic CEO of multiple million-dollar brands. Jennifer “Jen” Kem is a San Francisco Bay Area-based brand-building and leadership expert who gets entrepreneurs seen, heard, and paid for being themselves. She shares her sacrifice to get a promotion by spearheading a difficult 2 year project when she worked in corporate. It began her decision to leave a job earning over $400k.: 14:33 I would have to trade off time with my children to accomplish this very well. 14:39 I was told that if I worked on this project that I would get promoted, I didn’t. 14:44 And in the moment that this happened to me, it was what I call a violation of my trust, a violation of my truth. Here’s a little more about Jen. She’s the creator of the Master Brand Method: a framework to develop powerful brand archetypes that win customers’ hearts, leveraging Jennifer’s 20 years of corporate experience and her launching of multiple companies. She uses the Master Brand method in strategic consulting for emerging entrepreneurs, celebrity brands like Oprah Winfrey Network and Steve Harvey, and major corporations including Verizon, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Bank of Hawaii. What she is most passionate about in her work today is her legacy project: Femmefluence, a platform that supports women leaders to fully rise into their influence and affluence, so they can make an even greater impact in the world. Jennifer serves up straight talk wrapped in love because she understands entrepreneurs’ challenges: She built a retail business and became a millionaire at 32, only to lose it all in the recession two years later. She is now the successful owner of three-million-dollar brand-building businesses and the mother of three children. She goes more in-depth with her story of loss after entrepreneurship stating: 24:08 I’d lost everything. I lost my business. My house and my marriage fell apart. 24:16 And so for me, it was such a humbling time. Later, she goes on to share the values, principles, and strategies that allowed her to create the three-million-dollar businesses. Look in the comments for how to connect with Jen and receive a free gift. #masterbrand #leadershipbeyondburnout #entrepreneurship #burnoutprevention #womeninleadership

Dr. Joseph (Joe) M. Burns Joe Burns is indomitable. Yet, his heartfelt, genuine approach mixed with his signature, dad-joke humor makes him approachable, allowing him to capture the room. He creates a safe space for audiences to open up and engage in the money topics we usually avoid. And he believes money should be fun! He is an expert at making complex ideas simple and using hot-seat coaching to get everyone a breakthrough (whether or not they’re on stage with him). His message of disruption, talking to money, and using simple, actionable steps to achieve the impact entrepreneurs desire has been heard around the globe. Born and raised near Salt Lake City, Utah, Joe grew up learning that money was something we had to work too hard for. Yet, there was never enough. While his incredible parents taught him the value of hard work, he also believed there had to be a more efficient way. His drive led him to work in the IT field, where he leveraged his curiosity to advance his career. Without a college degree, he became a highly specialized and sought-after systems engineer with a paycheck to match. Except for one problem… He was making money, but he wasn’t making true impact. In his words, “Why was I using my skills to help banks and corporations get richer instead of helping real people?” As he transitioned from IT guy to millionaire coach, Joe discovered his undeniable gift for talking to money. Even more, he realized it talks back – and it has a lot to say. Now he uses the best practices of both the scientific and intuitive worlds to put shape around those messages, disrupting the way audiences relate to money and helping them re-pattern their unconscious so they can unlock the answers inside of them and make money their best friend. On average, his clients more than double their monthly revenue and experience incredible personal breakthroughs. You’ll often hear him say, “It’s never about the money.”

Often referred to as “Comedy’s next great storyteller,” Jeremy's unique show has been in demand for over 20 years. He’s drawn rave reviews for his clever observations, unique storytelling style, and ability to improvise with his audience. After winning $200 in a local comedy competition, the 6’6” comedian left the rural, Southern Illinois life behind to explore the comedy scene in Chicago. Once in Chicago, it was at The Second City Comedy Theater that he first developed the “front porch” comedy that is now a staple of his act. Jeremy’s Dry Bar Comedy Special, Neighborhood Sasq-Watch, is one of the highest rated episodes on the platform. Nunes also released an Amazon Prime special titled Who's With Me?! He has appeared in The Layover, The Break-Up, Last Comic Standing, Final Witness, 2 PBS mini-series, Comcast on Demand, a National Geographic Special and heard on ESPN Radio. Nunes is also one of the most requested comedians by Sirius/XM Satellite Radio listeners. He has since returned to his rural hometown where his parents manage a trailer park. Though he really wants to cash in on that gold mine, he continues to tour instead. Well, he tours when he can, because he got elected mayor of that town! He even wrote a best-selling book about his experiences called You Can’t Write City Hall. Audiences are treated to observations of rural life, working as a small-town Mayor, tales of marriage and raising kids, and plenty of stories about his wisecracking Dad. Plus, hear the jokes that put him on the Bob and Tom radar! This one-of-a-kind act is a must see… Who’s with me?!
