For October, Jazzy is stepping out from behind the scenes and taking over the Badass Direct Sales Mastery feed while Jennie takes some well-deserved time away to GET MARRIED!

This month, Jazzy is sharing four episodes that have personally influenced the way she thinks, works, and lives.

Her next pick is Scot Conway.

As someone who also has ADHD and dyslexia, Jazzy immediately connected with Scot's perspective. Instead of treating those differences simply as disabilities, Scot's approach helped her think about how understanding your unique brain and personality can allow you to build a life that actually works with you instead of against you.

But one of the biggest lessons Jazzy took away from this conversation had nothing to do with productivity.

It was about becoming an Oasis.

1. Your differences can become your superpowers.
ADHD, dyslexia, and other differences don't have to be viewed solely through the lens of what makes life harder. Understanding yourself can help you recognize and leverage the strengths that come with them.

2. Systematize your life around who you actually are.
Instead of constantly fighting your personality, create systems that help you work with it.

3. Solve problems instead of living in conflict.
Understanding yourself—and the people around you—can help you decide what belongs in your life and approach differences without turning everything into a battle.

Jazzy started with the “O” in OHANA: Oasis.

She intentionally began focusing on becoming someone other people could feel safe around—a person they could talk to, trust, and simply be themselves with.

Instead of trying to tackle every part of OHANA at once, she concentrated on being an Oasis.

And something interesting happened.

As she worked on that one principle, Jazzy found that the other pieces of OHANA began falling into place naturally.

“We don't have to be the same to be together.” — Scot Conway

Jennie is off getting married, so Jazzy is taking over the podcast feed for October and bringing back four of the Badass Direct Sales Mastery episodes that have meant the most to her personally.

And few episodes came into Jazzy's life at a more important time than this conversation with Liza Lomax.

Shortly before this episode aired, Jazzy had undergone brain surgery and had to shave half of her head. She hated the way she looked, was struggling with depression, and wondered whether she would ever feel like herself again.

This episode challenged her to turn some of the love she so freely gave other people toward herself.

What started with saying three simple words in the mirror eventually helped change the way Jazzy saw herself.

1. Loving yourself deserves to be a priority.
It's easy to pour love, attention, and energy into everyone around you while leaving very little for yourself.

2. How you see yourself can change.
The person looking back at you in the mirror deserves the same kindness and compassion you would give someone you love.

3. Self-love takes practice.
You don't necessarily believe the words the first time you say them. Sometimes you have to practice treating yourself with love before you begin to truly feel it.

Jazzy started looking at herself in the mirror and saying:

“I love you.”

At first, those words didn't necessarily match how she felt.

But she kept saying them.

Eventually, they became true.

And there's a pretty incredible ending to that story: today, Jazzy still keeps her head shaved—but now it's because she wants to.

The thing she once hated about her appearance became something she loves and considers part of who she is.

“In order to love anybody else, in order to take care of any other person around ourselves, we need to take care of ourself first." - Liza Lomax

While Jennie is busy getting married, Jazzy—the woman working behind the scenes to help make Badass Direct Sales Mastery happen—is taking over the podcast feed!

Throughout October, Jazzy is bringing back four episodes that made a lasting impact on her life.

First up is Bruce Langford.

This episode helped Jazzy recognize something most of us don't think about often enough: sometimes the biggest bully in our lives is the voice inside our own heads.

Bruce's lessons on mindfulness, gratitude, meditation, and paying attention to your internal dialogue didn't just stick with Jazzy—she actually put them into practice. Years later, some of those lessons are still part of her daily life.

1. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself.
Negative self-talk can become so normal that we don't even recognize we're doing it. Learning to notice those thoughts is the first step toward changing them.

2. Mindfulness can interrupt the cycle.
Instead of automatically believing every negative thought that enters your mind, mindfulness gives you an opportunity to recognize it, slow down, and respond differently.

3. Start your day with gratitude.
Taking time to intentionally recognize the good in your life can completely change the way you approach your day.

Jazzy didn't just listen to Bruce and move on.

She signed up for the seven-day trial Bruce offered and used it to learn how to meditate. She also began keeping a gratitude journal every morning—a practice she continues and credits with changing her life.

The episode also reinforced something else she tries to practice regularly: looking for small opportunities to help other people, whether that's through her time, money, skills, or services.

“What's happening in your mind? What are you saying to yourself? What are you allowing yourself to think about yourself?” — Bruce Langford

In this episode, Jennie and Jill discuss:

• The “why” that got Jill into direct sales and the decision to take it seriously as a business that spurred her success.
• Getting beyond the soft market of family and friends and finding a team who are interested in their own success and willing to do the work it takes.
• The blessings and surprises from focusing more on service than sales during COVID-19.
• The importance of taking advantage of opportunities for training and growth for yourself and your team.

Key Takeaways:

• Being grounded in your “why” helps keep you focused and drives your path to success.
• Someone out there wants and or needs what you are selling, don’t get stuck on the ones who don’t.
• Providing customer service that goes above and beyond brings rewards on not just a monetary level, but also on a deeper level of connection and purpose.
• Success requires consistency and constant striving to grow and improve.

"The biggest thing that I have told myself through all this is that I've got to give myself grace. And I also have to trust my ability in what I do as a consultant and a human being and providing excellent customer service. And again, going back to my why, which is helping people within and beyond the walls of my home. And as long as I'm staying true to that objective, and staying true to me, I know that this is all going to come back and come back to me whether it's monetarily or not." — Jill Ludington

About Jill Ludington: I am passionate about helping others feel confident and loved in their own skin. I help others just BE YOU through empowering with education and knowledge in theatre, open and affirming the LGBT+ community, and skincare. My mission is to make a difference in and beyond the walls of my home with love.

In this episode, Jennie and Donnie discuss:

• How Donnie walked away from a huge salary at a multi-million dollar company to follow his own dreams.
• Figuring out how to switch from operating as an employee to operating as a business owner.
• How being a guest on a podcast started a chain reaction that changed everything.
• Accepting the inevitability of things going wrong, and learning and growing from it

Key Takeaways:

• Follow your own dreams, not someone else’s!
• It’s your business, you are the one who needs to lay all the groundwork.
• Shit is gonna break, you just have to figure it out and keep going.
• Have a vision bigger than yourself. Fight as if you don’t care if you live or die. Step into your fear.

"If something's good It's the fucking universe saying go that damn direction. Because it's not about overcoming the fear. It's about who the fuck you become going through it. Yeah, it's about evolving into the next level yourself. And that's probably the biggest lesson I've learned in running a business." — Donnie Boivin

In this episode, Jennie and McKinley discuss:

• An essential companion for business

• Gamifying to create habits
• Connecting to your team

Key Takeaways:

• Technology has been business leaders’ constant companion, it’s a great tool for training and communications. Growing your business will mean that you embrace growing technologies.
• New technology shouldn’t have to require a Ph.D. to operate, it has to be approachable and easily operable for it to be effective.
• Gamifying difficult or repetitive tasks is a good way to create and sustain good habits.
• Being connected to your team, being present in their milestones, and following up on each new success is essential on growing your team and your business as a whole

About Luisa Cunha: She is a therapist and she specializes in Aromatherapy. She gives training with Aromatherapy for all women who want to find their physical, emotional, and spiritual balance through essential oils.

In this episode, Jennie and Luisa discuss:

• Developing new skills by learning from others
• All businesses have bad days
• What to do when you feel like giving up
• Business that transcends just you
  

Key Takeaways:

• Learn from other entrepreneurs, get out of your comfort zone and expose yourself to, practice, and learn one of people’s top fears: public speaking.
• All businesses have bad days. It’s important to keep going, keep your focus, and be positive, especially on those days. Know that those days give us perspective and build strength.
• When you feel like giving up, take some time for self-care. Drink some wine, take a bath, and relax. Talk about it tomorrow.
• We have to keep going if we want to help people more. If we go out of business, there’s a bunch of people that are not going to get the help that we’re going to provide.

"We can grow as entrepreneurs, we win and we give to others too. It’s a giver’s game." — Luisa Cunha
