Bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker Annie F. Downs joins me to share how she built a thriving business by staying in her zone of genius—and letting go of everything else. In this honest and energizing conversation, Annie pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to pursue big goals without burning out, from hiring before you feel ready to embracing radical accountability as a form of self-care.

We dive into how personality tools like the Enneagram influence team dynamics, why asking for help is a game-changer, and how to build a sustainable life around the things only you can do. Whether you're a solopreneur or building a team, this episode will challenge you to think differently about growth, boundaries, and the support you actually need.

Ever wonder why some accountability methods work for you while others don’t? Turns out, your personality type plays a big role in how you stay motivated and follow through on your goals! In this episode, I sit down with Katie Loesch, a corporate trainer and expert in personality assessments, to explore how understanding your unique strengths can transform the way you work, communicate, and hold yourself accountable.

We dive into the Take Flight Learning model, a fun and intuitive take on the DISC personality assessment, where each personality type is linked to a bird—Eagle, Parrot, Dove, or Owl. Katie explains how different personalities approach accountability, goal setting, and time management—so you can finally find the best system that actually works for you.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay on track with your goals, this episode will help you align your accountability approach with your natural strengths—so success feels easier, not forced! Tune in to learn which bird best represents you and how to use it to your advantage. 🎙️🐦
