ROAD TO GROWTH : Success as an Entrepreneur

Maria Koropecky - Author, Writing Coach and Creator of Crystal Mapping #podcast

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Maria Koropecky. Did you know that introverts make up 81% of all people who want to write a book someday? Maria Koropecky is well aware of this fact, and as a result has set out to build a creative writing coaching business that is geared towards the quieter creatives amongst us, helping them to get their ideas flowing and overcome writer’s block. Her vision is to help budding authors write books of influence, by encouraging them to have a crystal clear vision and smash through any roadblocks that stand between them and success. MARIA'S BIO Maria helps her clients, either in one-on-one or in group sessions, to tap into the energy of colours, chakras and crystals, so they can find their voice, shine their light and share their gifts. She understands the immense power of crystals and gemstones, and has used her knowledge of them to create a unique approach to coaching called Crystal Mapping.
Her work seeks to help people figure out where they are in life and where they would like to go next by drawing on the wisdom of crystals. Alongside her Crystal Mapping Sessions and Write From The Heart coaching program, Maria is also an up-and-coming novelist writing from Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. Her own forthcoming novel, Who is Donna Tiva?, which will be the first in a three-part series, was inspired during her solo backpacking trip across Spain at 50, and it follows the journey of a single woman as she searches for love, her life being lit up and guided by the colourful characters she meets along the way. She also has a wealth of qualifications that inform what she does, ranging from an Honours BA in English Literature to certifications in Life Coaching & Mentoring, to Spa Therapy as well as Crystal Reading.

Rachel Brownstein - Vegan Food Experimenter, Sexpert , & Public Speaker #podcast #Mindset

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Rachel Brownstein. Rachel was brought up in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Rachel first turned to sex work due to a desire for independence. Keen to earn her own money and choose when she worked, she started out working as an escort and a lap dancer, before becoming an actress in the adult film industry, working with studios in Los Angeles. This saw her thrust into a completely different world where 13-hour sex scenes and STD-testing became a normal part of her working week.
After eight years working in the sex industry – including five appearing in pornographic films, Rachel is keen to unpick the stigma that still surrounds sex workers. Her career saw her earn a good living and travel the world, yet since retiring from porn, she has been fired from two jobs by bosses who couldn’t handle her past.
Now a public speaker, Rachel is keen to talk about the realities of being an adult film actress and is writing a memoir about her life in porn. She can speak candidly about her own experiences and the reactions she has had from other people since leaving the industry. Rachel has strong views about the need for clear and honest sex education for young people so that they don’t grow up using porn as a yardstick for their own sexual relationships. She also advocates for sex workers to be given more of a voice when it comes to the laws which govern their industry.

Harry Sanders - Director and Founder of StudioHawk #mindset #growth #podcast

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Harry Sanders. Harry is the director and founder of StudioHawk. His main role is to innovate, adapt and lead in the world of SEO to ensure Studiohawk is always at the forefront of new adaptations in the industry.
Harry was first introduced to the world of SEO at 13 after his father fell victim to a dodgy digital marketing agency who promised him the world but ended up delivering very little. Harry started undertaking the work himself and quickly fell in love with the mix of logic and creativity that SEO brings. This started to rank his father's business and several other websites he owned, which landed him his first job in the working world at the age of just 14 years old after being offered a role training their team within a digital marketing agency.
He loved the world of SEO but after working in different agencies for 3 years he ended up dissatisfied with how these companies operated, trying to be everything to everyone and stretching the services until they became jacks of all trades but masters of none. So at 17 he decided to go at it alone. StudioHawk was born…
A specialized company focusing on one thing… growing your organic search presence. Nothing more and nothing less.
On the basis of no lock-in contracts, a strong focus on education, and strict discipline for saying no to projects they didn’t think would work or disagreed with, StudioHawk has since grown five years later to become the largest dedicated SEO agency in Australia. Since then the company has gone on to win the Australian Business Award for Marketing innovation, SEMRush’s Agency of the year 2019, as well as the MyBusiness, Marketing, Advertising, and PR award for 2019 as well.
It doesn’t stop there, however, StudioHawk has since expanded to London and is in the midst of launching an SEO learning centre partnering with universities and education facilities to give the next generation, as well as business owners and CMO’s alike, the tools and understanding of SEO – because the more people that properly understand SEO, the better results people will achieve.
When not focusing on SEO Harry is likely playing Runescape, Dota 2, Skateboarding, Hiking, or most likely attempting (poorly) to do all at the same time in the interest of ‘efficiency’.
