W+M 038: An Interview with Amanda Berlin
Amanda Berlin is the creator of Pitch School which helps entrepreneurs pitch themselves to the media and get coverage that grows their businesses. In this episode Amanda and I discuss the importance of the self-talk and little stories we tell ourselves about money. How each mini message turns into a day of mini messages which turns into a year and then becomes our life where we’re telling ourselves that we’re not good with money or not worthy of making more. Amanda teaches us how to shift and reposition those stories for abundance and wealth.
