  • Building a Purpose-driven Business with Dominiece Clifton
    Sep 27 2024

    In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m thrilled to introduce Dominiece Clifton. Dominiece is a serial entrepreneur, coach, and business branding strategist who empowers aspiring female entrepreneurs to create exit strategies to ditch their 9-to-5 jobs and live more fulfilling lives.

    In this episode, she’s sharing a pivotal moment for her that came up during the pandemic. Like most of us during that time, Dominiece was facing personal and professional challenges. It was through a meditation practice that she created a 90-day challenge focused on nurturing her mind, body, and spirit, leading her to discover her passion for entrepreneurship as a wellness coach. Together we reflect on how the pandemic provided many of us with a necessary pause to reevaluate our lives.

    Now, 4 years later she is thriving! She’ll share her methods for maintaining consistency despite life’s challenges, her experiences with astrology and human design, and the importance of setting clear boundaries to balance entrepreneurship and motherhood.

  • 36 Life Lessons on my 36th Birthday with Lynzie Smith
    Sep 13 2024

     Welcome back to Common Wealth Conversations. I'm your host, Lynzie Smith.

    I recently turned 36 and I'm really excited to come into this space and share a bit more of my own vulnerability and my heart as I continue through my own entrepreneurial journey. In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I wanted to reflect on 36 life lessons that I've learned over this last year.

    I've had another immense year of growth, and at times it’s felt like change has been coming at me from all vantage points! I feel like my growth has rippled through most of my relationships in my personal and professional life, including my most important relationship with myself. I’ve been pivoting and evolving continuously, and I’m focused on supporting like-minded female entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs through my own experiences. My hope and intention is to connect with those of you who see yourselves in my journey.

    If you’re listening to this episode and it feels a bit too on the personal side for you, I’ve also redirected these 36 life lessons into business-related insights on my LinkedIn. Check out my LinkedIn profile!

  • From Crisis to Clarity with Ben Mollin
    Sep 6 2024
    As entrepreneurs, we often face challenges that test us both personally and professionally. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of embracing change and finding new paths. I am thrilled to have Ben Mollin on the show today. He’s a celebrity hairdresser turned endurance athlete, who, in his words, "killed his career instead of himself," and is now a ‘California sober’ ultra-runner focused on suicide prevention. His story is so powerful, it is going to resonate with you in so many ways. Ben's story is the definition of resilience and reinvention and honestly as an entrepreneur myself, I've already learned so much from him. Today's conversation is deep. As a trigger warning, we're talking about loss, mental health, suicide prevention and survival. Trust me when I say that Ben's honesty and vulnerability will move you. I am rarely in tears on this podcast, Ben's ability to tell his story is next level. He's the first to share that sometimes stepping away is exactly what we need to open up new doors in our lives. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben last year at Beauty Gives Back (shout out to BGB!) and our conversations really stuck with me. I’m so excited to give him a big hug at the upcoming Beauty Gives Back event hosted on Sunday, September 15th, just outside of Chicago. If you’re in the Midwest, there’s still time to grab a ticket, grab yours now! If you’re attending, I’d love to meet you in person—please say hi if you spot me!

  • How Community Can Transform Your Business with Lynzie Smith
    Aug 19 2024

    In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m sharing some key takeaways from the Beauty Biz Brunch, hosted by Brandi Taylor. She is a coach and the host of the Beauty Biz Network Podcast. The event was held at Marlo Beauty Studios locally for me, here in Metro Detroit. This experience was both eye-opening and inspiring.

    In this episode, we’re going to talk about the importance of community and its role in business. At the Beauty Biz Brunch, there was so much talk about the power of community: how a well-nurtured community can fill in the gap in your marketing strategy to attract dream clients, the impact of connecting with like-minded professionals, and working with aligned brands to drive and diversify revenue.

    I’m bringing some of the practical advice I shared as a keynote speaker on how to build meaningful relationships and leverage your network to support and grow your business initiatives into this episode.

    If you’re a service-based entrepreneur looking for guidance, consider applying to our next round of the Common Wealth ‘Peer to Peer’ cohort program. In this program, I focus on networking and relationship building with dream clients, like-minded pros, and aligned brands providing you with the support you need to develop new revenue streams. With the help of our 3 guest experts, you’ll go from idea to launch in 3 months time. This approach helps you diversify your revenue and buy back your time!
