Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Visionary Woman Podcast season two. Woo! I am so excited today because we have a very powerful guest with us, someone who has been very involved in the Haiglands community. We have Brie Kane. Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_00 0:23

Oh, I'm so happy to be here. Hello, everybody.

SPEAKER_01 0:27

Yes, so for those listening who don't know Brie, maybe this is your first little introduction to her. She's gonna, you know, share her story with us and give her all the magic that she has to offer. But she is a millionaire mom that built her business literally from the kitchen table, helping moms also build a business using their existing skills. She's a savage, she's scrappy, she's here to win. She's an absolute queen, Brie. Thank you again for being here.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Oh, so happy to be here. Let's freaking go.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

Yes, so let's get right into it because this podcast, you know, we are really highlighting the stories and the legends, if you will, of visionary women in our world. And, you know, to become a legend, truly, it starts somewhere. So take us back to the early days, take us back to the beginning with your story.

SPEAKER_00 1:24

Ooh, okay. Well, we're gonna go back to childhood because I think, like a lot of you who are listening right now, I really grew up in the day and age where to be successful, to validate your worth in society, you had to go to college, get a good job, get the raises, get the promotions, and that defined who you were. And, you know, both of my parents grew up very poor, and they both put themselves through advanced education. And so it was extra emphasis in our family of like, oh, you're gonna get all the scholarships, be involved in all the things. And so I did. But then I found myself, I was 26, I was a director at a public university, and I just remember sitting in my office looking out the window at the college students in the green, and I felt jealous of them. And I'm like, what is wrong with me? Because I have everything that I thought I wanted. Like I have the title, I have my own office, I have a team that I lead. And it was in that moment that I'm like, oh, S H I T, like, uh-oh, I don't think I want what I thought I wanted. And I still, you know, lived that life, and it wasn't until I had my first baby that truly it was like the defining moment where I went back to work for three months because I thought that was what I should do. I'm like, this is my identity. I don't know who I am without this. And but I cried every day. I made it three months. I felt like I was handing over half my heart at daycare when I would drop her off, and eventually it was enough. Enough is enough. Like, this is not why I became a mom. So then it became this question of like, who am I? And you know, I've always been someone who's driven, ambitious, like if I'm gonna do something, I'm like all freaking in. And so I tried a bunch of different things from home. Um, direct sales, I donated plasma, I mean, you name it, I tried it. And nothing really stuck. And then, but I was in direct sales at the time, working my tail off. Um, you know, and I had risen up the ranks, but even so, like the commissions were our family's monthly grocery bill. And my husband said, All of that time and energy that you're putting into someone else's business, what if you put that into your own? And at this point, I'd had three children total and just knee deep in motherhood. I'm like, I want something of my own, please. And so I started investing, um, just learning about business because I'm like, I don't know what I could offer, I don't know how to run a business. So the most logical thing was like, well, let's work with people who've done that. Um, so six months in, I had invested about 20K and I didn't have the money. I like I was psychotic. I'm like, I'm just gonna put it on a card, and then when I make millions, I'll pay it off. And I have, but like, I was just like, let's freaking go. This is what I know I need to do. But six months in, 20K in investment, I had earned a grand total of $132. I was like, oh, something is not working, it's not happening, and I'm doing the things. And so in that moment, I started applying to full-time roles on Indeed, which was like, oh, dagger in the heart, because you know, I'm like, I'm a mom, I'm home with my kids. But then that led me to the virtual assistant industry. I saw a role with a life coach out of California. It was 15 hours a week, super flexible. It didn't say anything about being a VA, but I was like, where do I find more roles like this? So I went on this like internet detective slew thing. It led me to the VA industry, and in three days of that, I had booked a 2K a month client. In 30 days, I'd booked four total clients, and in my first full month, I hit 5K. And like my jaw was just on the floor because it was everything that I wanted in motherhood, and the take-home was more even than being a director at a university, and so then I realized this is everything I wanted as a mom, and I know all the other moms want this too. And so I started teaching women and moms how to do what I had done, and that now has grown. We have over 500 graduates in the last couple years, and you know, community of 15,000 virtual assistants, and I also help founders build and scale with teams and place teams using the VAs that I've trained and have a VA conference that Tom and Anna will be at next month. So it's just is grown into this beautiful thing, and I really just see that I get to pioneer the future of work for women in a way that you know fits our dreams, our lifestyle, the flexibility that we need because we also raise children and we want to have this rich, beautiful life inside of womanhood and motherhood.

SPEAKER_01 5:59

Yes, shout out to your husband for being like, hey, you should start a business and you just going for it. I also feel like I want to highlight something because your story shows something very symbolic. That moment where you were trying so hard and you were just like, I need to make this work, I'm going all in. And right when you were about to throw in the towel, something comes, boom, you find the VA, and you're like, What is this? And you find this whole new realm, and then that's where it takes off. And I feel like so many entrepreneurs go through this, it's like you wanna give up, it actually is probably gonna take longer than you think, you're not gonna get the results right away that you might think, but then you just need to keep going and trust.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

Mm-hmm. 100%. You know, I think the narrative too is like everything great comes from pleasure and desire, and yes, that's true. That's the North Star. However, I would argue that our the catalyst for change often is when something is so uncomfortable. Like I felt like I was at rock bottom when I'd invested so much and didn't feel like I had really anything tangible to show for it. But that was what created that pressure, the internal like combustion of like I gotta go find something that works. And even, you know, in the business I've built now, I think you know this. Like, we're like our identity up levels is what creates like the next level of success. And for me, often that's like, oh, like I want more, I want different, like it's like this itchiness of like I need change, and maybe that's like a character flaw, but I it's created a lot of magical things in my life.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

No, you're so right, it is so uncomfortable. I feel like, yeah, we need to highlight that because it's not gonna be easy. But how can we enjoy the discomfort of the becoming of that identity of the little deaths and rebirths that we always go through? It's like, yeah, you gotta be a little bit of a masochist to be an entrepreneur.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

I feel like yeah, like I think the truth too is that growth is painful in a way because you're constantly, if we know from like neuroscience and brains, they our brain and our subconscious wants to keep us safe, it wants to keep us comfortable. But we know that like the whole point of growing is to like expand into our edges, expand into the discomfort zone, expand into new identity, ways of being, doing all of that. And I think that's the the secret power of entrepreneurs is they get very comfortable being in their edge.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Bingo. I love that. You said that so beautifully. So, yeah, okay, so you're mom, you're powerful, you're scrappy, we know this now. And you got into the realm of VA, you have a VA conference, but for those listening, who do you serve exactly and like what is the transformation that you help them create?

SPEAKER_00 8:54

Oh, oh yes, let's talk about it. It's my favorite thing. So I always like my um my current like mantra around the virtual assistant industry is that you can make internet money as a VA, you can out-earn corporate, you can out-earn your husband, and this is all from home in flexible part-time hours. So basically, what I help women do is look at everything that they've done in their work experience, but also their life experience. So even if you've been home with kids for years, all of that counts. We do an analysis, we look at what you love doing, what you're passionate about, and also what you're like gag me, like I never want to touch that with the 10-foot pole. We turn that into services that you can offer business owners. And I always recommend, too, when a woman comes into the VA industry, to go like pick a lane and own it. And sometimes that takes working with a couple of clients to figure out what that is, but you're really not calling yourself a virtual assistant, you're calling yourself an executive operations partner or you know, social media strategist, you know, something like that. And it's all based on your experience. So it's a business built off you, and everyone's it's different. But then we help you, you know, I so I run the VA Leadership Academy, and it's this amazing, I call it Disneyland for virtual assistance. It's this whole world where you know, we have a job board, so we give you the best roles in the industry every day. I give you agency clients through my agency. There's 500 women in there, some of them are doing 20k plus months in this industry, 10k, 5k. Some women who are like in the throes of motherhood, they're at 2K, which is amazing. It's life-changing. And so, you know, you can come in, be in this whole world, be elevated. It's like osmosis, who you're surrounded by, what is normalized is who and what you become too. So, yeah, we give them freedom.

SPEAKER_01 10:45

Wow, I love that so much, and it's so true. Yes, who you surround yourself with is who you become. And I love the community aspect of your work. And I want to highlight something too that you mentioned because even just changing the name from virtual assistant to something like that feels more meaningful is powerful because I feel like we are moving away from this top-down leadership where it's like the CEO's in charge, and then the VA or executive assistant even is beneath them. But I feel like we're moving into this world where it's like actually the VA is just as important as the CEO because they're the you know, the foundation, the glue holding everything together.

SPEAKER_00 11:29

100%. And I I mean I relate to that so deeply, thinking even about my own team, because I will never ever take credit for what I've built. Like I could not have done it without my team because I have a deep desire to be present for motherhood and life too. And, you know, just recently I'm like, wow, like this team that I've built, and like I don't even want to take full credit for that because I'm like, it's all of us, like the people that are alongside me, and it it is, it's ownership. It's like we come in as equals in different areas, and you know, like someone owns the enrollment process, someone owns operations, someone owns the client experience, and they are true leaders in what they do. And it's I mean, it's a beautiful thing, and it's just like we do hold a lot in our head and on our shoulders, and to have people who are like, I got you. You can breathe, like I'm carrying your vision with you and for you, and I'm like, Oh, like it like it can make me cry.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

It's so beautiful, it's so necessary, and no powerful person is doing it on their own, right? And I feel like that, yeah, that's just a great realization, too, for anybody because not everybody is actually meant to be an entrepreneur, but then it's like, how can you also create freedom for yourself, like you're helping the women do and be present in their lives while working?

SPEAKER_00 12:50

Absolutely. I actually have a hot take where I'm like some people start out trying to build a coaching business when really they should be a virtual assistant first, because it's a much more tangible and practical way to earn monthly income. And, and, and, and this was one of my strategies when I started because I always knew I'm like 30k months, even when I was at NATA, was my anchor, my North Star, like my vision. I knew that if I worked inside of businesses who were doing big things, that I would learn so much. And so I was very intentional about who I worked with so that I could, you know, absorb and learn as I was working inside their business.

SPEAKER_01 13:29

Absolutely. Yeah, I think that's a great idea too. I love that. So I'm curious what have been some challenges that you've had to overcome in this process? Take us through a little bit of the things people don't talk about so much.

SPEAKER_00 13:46

Oh, everyone loves this. Yeah, let's open the book. Um, yeah, so I think there's two things that come to mind. We'll start with the more vanilla one and then we'll go into the spicy one. Um, I am an empath. I am a recovering people pleaser. I want to do right by everybody, I want to be kind to everybody, I want to give, give, give. Um, like I remember even in direct sales, I would like win these bonuses and I would like give it all away. And people are like, why, why, why don't you just like hang on? And so a challenge that I've had is to recognize and step into like my CEO leadership and and know that I'm running a business and not a friendship, and having to, you know, have difficult conversations, make difficult decisions that are in alignment and highest integrity with the business I'm building, myself, my family, the clients I serve, but like making decisions that not everyone's gonna like, and then having the the leadership and you know emotional groundedness to not internalize other people's feelings because you know, growing up, that's that's what I did. I was a good little, a good girl, a good people pleaser.

unknown 14:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Wow, yeah. Yeah, you definitely can't internal. It's you gotta take the emotion out of it, not be cold, but just put the emotion aside.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Yeah, 100%, yeah. And that's something still I've gotten a lot better at it, but like I still to be totally honest, I care what people think. I want like, and I I think that's a beautiful thing too. It is like I want to do good by people. So, yeah. Um, okay, then the other, the spicier one I think is money, cash flow management, um, profit margins, all of that because I'm someone who, and I will say 1000% what grew my business so quickly was making bold investments and and matching my moves and identity to that too. But there came a point, you know, a couple years in where I'm like, okay, now that I've like built this business and done this thing, now it's like really time to like master the art of cash flow management, profit margins, all of that. And so that's something since the beginning of the year that I've been deep in, and it almost feels like a student. I'm like, you know, implementing the profit first system and just really learning how to hold on to more of the income because I've tended like it comes in, I'm like, oh, let's reinvest in the growth, or you know, even like we've been paying down our mortgage, so we're trying to get mortgage zero here in less than a year, but it's like I'm like, I want to like hold money too without feeling like it needs to like fly out the door, you know. So that's been a really fun, and I don't think business owners talk about that enough. I think it's really easy to like show the flashy stuff, but like tell me about your profit margins. Like, that's the real, that's the real real.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

Yes, and you're right, people don't talk about this enough, but money is such there's so many sneaky ways that it'll show up in your life, like it'll show up this weird relationship with it where it's like, yeah, I'm giving it away, can't hold it, gotta spend it all, or you know, you're you just feel tense when more money's coming in.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

Yeah, yeah, you it's like you're waiting for the shoe to drop or something. It's so interesting, and I mean that's something too. Like, I so like in my journey, I um December 2022 was a $70 month. January 2024, so 13 months later, was a hundred K cash month. And I remember having that, and you'd think that I would, and I was like, I was crying, I was on top of the world, I was like, I can't believe this is real. And immediately after that happened, my body went into pressure and scarcity. And I'm like, how do I replicate this? How like it, it like almost like crashed me a little bit, which you know it goes, like I probably just had to normalize the identity, but it was a very real thing, and I do think that this happens like when you hit this like crazy big milestone, and then suddenly your body's like like squeeze.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

No, what you just shared is 100% it happens all the time. Sometimes you actually don't feel amazing when you hit your income goal because now it means more responsibility, now it means a standard that you have to uphold. Now it's like, oh no, are we gonna be able to do this again? And all of your limiting beliefs, even just about yourself, right? Because our money and our worth and our like who we are is so intertwined for some reason.

SPEAKER_00 18:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:16

And I'm so happy that you said that because it is a common experience, but it also just feels like SHIT.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Yeah, it's almost like it happens, and it's like, you know, quantum leap. Like you can never really reverse engineer. I mean, yes, you can look at the strategy, but I think it like what it it takes us back into logic mode, and we're like, how do I repeat the steps exactly? Like, that's just not how it works. It's like being in that the quantum energy and magnetism and ideas and innovation and and full sense. But I think, yeah, sometimes we hit the big thing, we're like, oh, how do I like three-step this?

SPEAKER_01 18:54

Exactly. And I feel like there needs to be this level of like normalizing the fact that things are not linear, just like day moves to night and the oceans crash forward and back. There's always gonna be this like expansion contraction, expansion, contraction. It's just like kind of a lot of the universe when you think about it. Everything says that.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

Yeah, seasons and like planting crops, like nothing's blooming all the time. There's a harvest season.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

Yeah, exactly. So, okay, you working with women and helping them, you know, not just become virtual assistants, but the nice titles that you gave them. Let's get into the tools, the systems, because I feel like this is another thing with women that we don't like to talk about as much or is a headache, is the tech side of things. You know, so tell us what tools, what systems helped you step out of the hustle and back into your drone zone of genius.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

Well, I don't know if you've ever heard of it. There is an amazing tech platform that does everything for you. It's called Hey Clients. Have you ever heard of it?

SPEAKER_01 20:09

This is why we're here.

unknown 20:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

I can't, I can't even like say enough good things about it. Um, yeah, so we I use Hey Clients to run the back end of my business. We do all of our email marketing, all of our sites, um, you know, CRM, we have the like automation, I mean everything, calendar management. And it was so fun because as I was getting it set up, I I took so much um thrill in clicking cancel on like 10 other tech platforms. Like it was like a game. I'm like, cancel, cancel, cancel, like absolutely epic. So yeah, we use hey clients, and like this is not you know, you didn't ask me to say that, but like that's what we use and we love, and we actually inside of the VA Leadership Academy, we have a certification and in really helping our VAs master the different technical skills that clients hire for project management, you know, funnel building, email marketing, all of that. And so we actually use Hey Clients for most of those and show them, you know, how to how to create funnels and you know take them through that process.

SPEAKER_01 21:18

Yes, I love that. I feel like a lot of people, even when they join Hey Clients in the beginning, they don't realize that it is meant to be the entire backend of your business. Yeah, oh my gosh, and it is such a necessary thing, and the thing I love about Hey Clients, and I know you do as well, it's like, yeah, you don't need any other subscriptions, you don't need to manage anything. It makes it way easier if you're the one doing it, but also for your team.

SPEAKER_00 21:44

Yeah, 100%. Well, and I think like this is something we should talk about because if you are listening to this and you are an entrepreneur, you're a founder, you're probably a visionary, you're the idea person, I'm just gonna tell you right now, and I bet you'll agree with me, like. Like you, your time is not best spent mastering Hey Clients. Yes, use it, but I would highly recommend you, you know, go through. I know Hey Clients has an amazing directory, and a lot of those VAs on there are from the VA Leadership Academy, which is so fun. So, you know, it's like use it, but keep your time in the visioning, the client facing the public, the content, the expression, and have team you know build and run.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

100%. And on that topic, I won't say much now because there's some things going on behind the scenes. Tom and Anna, the founders of eClients, are creating literally like game-changing things to help you build your business, send emails, get the funnels going. That's all I'm gonna leave there because Anna and Tom, you know them, Brie. Like they they are business coaches, they've worked with so many women, and there's always that that is kind of the thing that is stopping people from getting to where they wanna be. True is the tech side of things. Because you can't be just doing it doing everything on your on doing it manually. Like, we gotta have the systems to support the creative process, to support this like energy that you're bringing, Brie, of like, I'm hungry, I'm a mom, you know, I want to just be with my family, and I want to make it, but it's like yeah, you need to have the systems to support you.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

So stay tuned, everybody. Stay tuned. Yeah, and I don't know if um I haven't chatted with Tom about this, but last I talked to him, he was thinking about making the big announcement at VA Fest. I don't know if that's still the plan, but we will find out next week. Yes, so exciting!

SPEAKER_01 23:56

Amazing, yeah. So, okay, I want to talk about to um the women that you work with. Like, what is a common challenge that you see within the women that you're working with? And yeah, what's the common challenge that you see, and how would you recommend to overcome it?

SPEAKER_00 24:17

Yeah, okay, I love this. So honestly, what I would say is that a lot of the women come into the academy because they know that they've had an amazing career, they know that they have the skills, but what I would say is the biggest hurdle is they don't have evidence and proof yet in building their own business to the point of like hitting their income goals. And so honestly, the work that we do in the beginning of the VA Leadership Academy, and just I mean, if you work with me in general, we do a lot of identity and self-concept work because I there's another hot take. I think most business owners start with strategy when they decide to build, but if your identity does not match, you're putting a square peg in a round hole. And it's it's the reason why two people can have the same support, resources, and strategy. One of them's on a rocket ship in outer space, lassoing the moon, the other person is on planet Earth looking up at them, wondering how they did it. It's the identity, it's the self-concept. And this was, you know, back I had my first $66 month in the fall of 2022, and yes, I felt like I won the lottery because people were buying things. But even then, I was embodying and had decided that I am a 30k month woman, and I reverse-engineered like how does she dress? I changed how I dressed, I changed how I spoke, I changed how, you know, how like social media and content, um, and then I just made decisions of scalability through that lens, even when I was at ground zero, and it's what created 30k plus plus plus months from there. And so that's really what what we start with is helping um, you know, helping your identity match your goals because the strategy is really freaking obvious when you do that.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

Yeah, wow, that's so important because I feel like most people are just like, I'm gonna grind and I'm gonna hustle and I'm gonna give it all I got, and then they're almost doing it from this place of almost like hatred for where they are now. Yeah. Scarcity. From scarcity. This is a repellent. It is, it is, and then it's also gonna burn you out and you're gonna feel not good about yourself.

SPEAKER_00 26:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

So I love what you said about reverse engineering it because it's not really like fake it till you make it, it's more so fake it till you are it.

SPEAKER_00 26:30

100%. And if we know from a neuroscience perspective too, that our identities are neuroplastic, and the more we reinforce our identities and our beliefs that match, that it creates new neural pathways, so the conscious becomes unconscious, and also that beliefs and thoughts create chemicals, it's like changes our physiology in our body when we change our identity.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

Yes, it's so true.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

You cure yourself of ailments, it's true, it's true.

SPEAKER_01 27:02

The mind is powerful. What we believe is creating our reality and shaping our reality, even how like even how we hold ourselves and how we stand, smiling alone changes the chemicals in our brain. Frowning. It's so cool.

SPEAKER_00 27:18

It is I think it's just like I think it's almost astounding when you tap into creation and then you realize like it is an infinite game. You there's no limit to what I can do, the only limit is what I believe I can do.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

Exactly, and that is that is the mother archetype, too. You know, like the mother is literally everything babies, worlds, you know, ideas, businesses. It's beautiful. I love that. So I want to pin on something because I feel I see this a lot in the coaching industry of just like 100k months, 500k months, million dollar months, even 30k months. Like that can feel can feel very big, like you said. Somebody's last wing the moon, and you're looking up and you're just like, how is that even possible? Like for the woman who's listening to this, who maybe is a mom, she's been working her business for a little while now, she wants to just get to where she wants to go. What would you say to her right now?

SPEAKER_00 28:25

Yeah, okay. Your dreams, your desires, the things that you feel in your heart are your compass. And no one but you can decide that they're worth pursuing. I remember in like back when I was starting, I told my husband, even though he's like, start a business, I told him my goal was 30k months. And he said, be realistic. That's impractical, that's illogical, that's just gonna set you up to fail. And I had a decision at that point do I believe him or do I believe what I know is true and possible because I see other women do it, and I decided to believe myself. And I also decided to just put my head down and do it and not keep him in the loop. And then I told him, like a year later, I was like, Well, look what I did. I did it. So, you know, it's like you you know what you want. Stop gaslighting yourself out of that if even if other people don't see it or believe it, like it's our jobs to see it first. Oh validation.

SPEAKER_01 29:20

It's our jobs to see it first, ladies. You heard it here. This is important too because we love our husbands, but also they're very logical, they're not necessarily thinking how we are thinking, or even just like knowing that anything is truly possible. They do to a degree, but also if your husband is looking at you like, girl, good luck, or be realistic, that's okay. Almost expect that from them.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

100%. And then it's like just don't make it mean anything about you. Don't you go?

SPEAKER_01 29:56

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

And then you don't make a joke. I'm like, we don't all have a Tom.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

And then you can show them, and then you know, you can broaden their horizons. But anything is possible. Let's shoot for the moon. If you shoot for the moon, at least you land somewhere high. But if you don't even try, how are you gonna get there? So true. And so, moving into speaking of Anna, you know, she is somebody who is a visionary woman, you know, she has such big goals and aspirations for her business and where she's taking it. You know, she came from the Philippines from literally nothing and has created so much. And so I really want to close this podcast by highlighting your vision. You know, you've already created so much with the events and helping so many moms.

SPEAKER_00 30:47

What is next for you? Oh, love that question. Well, first of all, we love Anna. Anna's amazing. I'm so she's uh speaking at VAFS Live too, and I'm so excited that she'll be there. We love you, Anna. Um, okay, what's next? So I was on the news last week talking about the future of work for women, the virtual assistant pathway, how it creates freedom, and that just unlocked something in me because I initially went to school for broadcast journalism, and I actually quit that degree and pivoted because I thought I was not good enough to be on TV. And there was part of me, I know, there's part of me that always wondered like what would have happened if I had pursued a career in TV. So being on TV last week, I was like, whoa, whoa. I actually pitched the producer the idea an idea of a weekly segment on like careers and jobs and local companies, and she loved it. So we're gonna be chatting here when she gets back from vacation. But it unlocked my next level identity, which is really um like media, company, and public figure energy reporting on and documenting the future of work movement for women. And then we also obviously are pioneering that too, but it's yeah, I think you know, you'll see me on Forbes and CNN, like with the mic, like reporting on you know, job market updates. Like, mark my words, that will happen.

SPEAKER_01 32:11

I'm holding the vision with you, sister. I can see it already. Yes, amazing. I love how you said next level identity. Woo! Yeah, I hope for those listening, you feel inspired to step into that next level identity wherever you are in your journey is perfect. And there's always a next level not to take away from where we are right now, but why not pursue better and better for ourselves? I feel like your story, Brie, is definitely inspiration for that. So thank you.

SPEAKER_00 32:50

Oh, thank you for having me. What a fun conversation.

SPEAKER_01 32:53

I know. Okay, so for those listening, like, how can people work with you?

SPEAKER_00 32:56

How can they find you? Yeah, absolutely. So Instagram is a great place to reach out. And I imagine that my um handle will probably be linked in the show notes, but it's at Hey, it's free Kane, just in case. And yeah, whether you are a woman or a mom who really wants to create a tangible um business catalyst business where you can earn you know amazing income from home through the virtual assistant industry using your existing skills. The VA Leadership Academy is an incredible pathway for that. Or if you are a founder who is scaling and ready for team or ready for better team, I also build and place teams from the VAs that I have trained in the VA Leadership Academy, which we train on tech, emotional intelligence, and leadership. So it's not your average checklist VA. These are truly strategic partners who drive the growth of your company. Um, I can help you with your team as well. So just DM me on Instagram. We can chit-chat and figure out what the best pathway for you is.
