In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great privilege of speaking with Amy Kemp, author of I See You: A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More, and Be More â Without More Work. Our conversation focused on the challenges of feeling unseen and the impact it has on personal and professional growth. Amy shared insightful concepts, including thought patterns such as âMoney is a Mirror,â among many others. She also addressed thought-provoking questions such as, âDoes putting yourself out there in a significant way lead to a magnification of frustration when you donât feel seen?â and offered valuable strategies for overcoming these challenges.
Amy Kemp is the owner and CEO of Amy Kemp, Inc. In her work within this growing company, Amy helps leaders and business professionals understand how deeply âthought habitsâ impact every part of their work and lives.
As a certified Habit Finder coach, Amy has led over 400 female business leaders through a four-month small group engagement called Encounter. This experience is designed to help clients replace subconscious thought habits that are no longer serving them with more healthy ones. She has worked through the Habit Finder curriculum with hundreds of leaders in one-on-one settings and with leadership teams at small and large companies.
In addition, Amy teaches two engaging online courses each year in the fall and spring that are designed to challenge and expand her clientsâ understanding of themselves and to welcome new, curious people into the scope of her work. Some of the most popular topics in her library of offerings are âMoney Is a Mirrorâ and âA Boundary Is Not a Wall.â
Finally, with the launch of her first book, I See You: A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More, and Be More â Without More Work, on February 29, 2024, Amy has created an opportunity for everyone to learn and engage with her and the principles that guide her coaching.
While her business and professional accomplishments are many, Amy counts all of it a loss if she doesnât invest her best time and energy in leading and loving those closest to her in #kempnation. She has been married to Ryan for over twenty years and they have three children â Avery, Anthony and Andrew.

In this episode of the Self-employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lisa McLeod, author of best seller Selling with a Noble Purpose: How to Drive Revenue and Do Work that Makes You Proud, along with four other exceptional books, about the importance of having a noble purpose in business. We discussed how making helping people the mindset of a business will not only provide a better life for the client, but also creates a more successful business and personal life. Lisa stated that people in business whose purpose is to help as many people as they can as best as they can are more successful than those that are in it just for money.
Lisa McLeod is the global expert on purpose-driven business. She is the author of five books, including her bestseller: Selling with Noble Purpose: How to Drive Revenue and Do Work That Makes You Proud.
Lisa has spent two decades helping leaders increase competitive differentiation and emotional engagement. She developed the Noble Purpose methodology after her research revealed that salespeople who sell with Noble Purpose, outsell salespeople who focus on targets and quotas.
Lisa is a former Procter & Gamble Sales Leader who founded her own firm, McLeod & More, Inc. in 2001. She helps leaders at organizations like Cisco, Roche, Volvo, and Dave & Busters drive exponential revenue growth. Lisa has keynoted in 25 countries and authored over 2,000 articles. She has made appearances on the Today Show and the NBC Nightly News, and her firmâs work has been featured in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and NPR.
Lisaâs leadership book, Leading with Noble Purpose: How to Create a Tribe of True Believers is a breakthrough book that shows leaders how to win the hearts and minds of their teams and customers.

In this episode of self-employed life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dia Bondi, author of âAsking like an Auctioneerâ, about how to ask better questions. Dia shared valuable insights on why asking questions is a success strategy and how to become better at doing it. We discussed the challenges that people have when asking questions, such as feeling guilty and facing rejection, and how to best overcome those fears. We also discussed that being able to ask questions as a skill set is not just a nice-to-have or something that necessarily comes natural or easy, but that it is a success strategy. Diaâs journey of being an auctioneer gives her great experience on how to ask questions, which she is able to share with others. Overall this episode provides excellent advice on how to improve careers and lives through the power of asking questions.
Dia Bondi is a Communications Catalyst for high-impact people. In her private coaching and programs, she works with professional C-level leaders, VC backed founders and ambitious professionals guiding, helping them find their voice and lead with it. Her workshops and talks are hosted by corporations including Quartz, Salesforce, Googleâs X.team, and Dropbox. In global sport, she helped Rio de Janeiro secure the 2016 Summer Olympics. After attending auctioneering school for fun, she translated the techniques she learned into a program that prepares ambitious professionals and especially women, to ask for more and leave nothing on the table called Ask Like an Auctioneer. Sheâs been featured on CNBC Make It, Forbes and Fast Company. Her book, Ask Like an Auctioneer, is available now. Listen to her podcast, Lead With Who You Are.
