Closers.io

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we are joined by Joanna Horton McPherson, a six-time founder, executive coach, and impact investor. Joanna shares her profound journey from a public speaker at age 13 to a guide who helps high-performing women leaders heal their core wounds and amplify their voices. She delves into her unique "True Influence Method," which goes beyond surface-level presentation skills to address the "underground work" of leadership—confronting self-doubt, worthiness, and the "mother wound" to unlock a leader's full visionary potential and legacy.

Joanna explains how she works with clients as a strategic partner, using her background in acting and meditation to help them build authentic connection and scale their influence. She discusses the long-term, deep work required for transformative change and her mission to empower women leaders who naturally nurture their families and communities to leverage their empires for global impact. The conversation also touches on her upcoming book, "Brave as Hell," and her philosophy on client acquisition through authentic presence and being a "beacon" for her ideal audience.
