In this open (and often laughter-filled) conversation, Anne shares her epic journey of creating and growing GGI.
She reminds us that rewards aren’t always monetary and what you get that’s even more powerful.
Anne also shares the power of showing up and being able to tell your story well.
And at the end, she shares the most rewarding part of being a Meaningpreneur.
After we stopped recording she added that freedom is also an essential element for her.

Learning to tell your story well is critical for every business owner. The resource I mentioned for speaking is Toastmasters International.
Some excellent books on storytelling are: all of Bernadette Jiwa’s books and Resonate by Nancy Duarte.
You may also remember Anne as the person who inspired me to create the Meaningpreneur Solo Business Retreat.

Wonderful interview and priceless takeaways! “Genuinely show up” resonates with me the most, and then “your product is secondary to you”. Thanks so much, Anne and Stephanie!
Many thanks, Iliana! Anne is such an inspiration to so many people. Thank you for sharing your key takeaways.
Really enjoyed listening to Anne about GGI. Would have liked to have heard how she has monetarised GGI, if at all? Thanks for the interview Stephanie.
Great question, Alexandra. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that GGI has not been monetized and that it is a non-profit organization. Appreciate your feedback, glad you enjoyed the interview!
