#220 - Heather Monahan gets REAL about launching your Personal Brand

Heather Monahan started from very humble beginnings growing up in Worcester, Massachusetts. After graduating from Clark University, she began her career in sales and quickly advanced to top salesperson and Brand Manager within her first year in corporate America. After being harassed in her position, she left the wine business and started working for Wilks Broadcasting as a salesperson in radio.

Heather Monahan started from very humble beginnings growing up in Worcester, Massachusetts. After graduating from Clark University, she began her career in sales and quickly advanced to top salesperson and Brand Manager within her first year in corporate America. After being harassed in her position, she left the wine business and started working for Wilks Broadcasting as a salesperson in radio. A year later she was offered an equity partnership which required her to move to Saginaw, Michigan.

Heather made the difficult decision to leave her family and friends behind and move alone to the Midwest for the chance to create value and potentially sell the Saginaw properties for a gain. Within three years in Saginaw, she significantly increased the group's value resulting in a successful sale of the properties more than doubling the purchase price from 27M to a final sale of 55M. Heather then moved to Naples, Florida to begin working for Beasley Broadcasting where she started as a Director of Sales.

After one year of substantial revenue results, she pitched herself for a position that didn't previously exist and was awarded the VP of Sales title for the company. Over the next few years she pitched herself for and was awarded the newly created EVP Sales position and ultimately the Chief Revenue Officer title.

During this time Heather launched her personal brand to empower women and give them the insight and tips she had longed for as a young professional. She was the Keynote speaker at the Corinium CRO conference and held the main stage at the LOAC in NYC. Heather was recognized as a Glass Ceiling Award winner and as one of the Most Influential Women in radio in 2017. After being terminated by another woman in July 2017, Heather became a full time entrepreneur. In 2018 Heather was named the Brand Ambassador for Perry Ellis International's female brand Rafaella and Thrive Global named her a limit breaking female founder.

#212 - Brian Ross & Kimberly Resch get REAL about Conscious Content

Brian is the visionary behind Conscious Content LLC, who was born to be an entrepreneur. His passion for business led him to the University of Florida to learn business administration and quickly set him on a path which would see him start five successful companies.

Brian is the visionary behind Conscious Content LLC, who was born to be an entrepreneur. His passion for business led him to the University of Florida to learn business administration and quickly set him on a path which would see him start five successful companies. He enjoyed an outstanding career in the investment and finance industry, serving clients in public and private equity, real estate and mortgage, and teaching and advising investment strategies at the state and Federal level. A compassionate humanitarian at heart, Brian longed to do more with his time and abilities than simply turn a profit. As a result, he cultivated a significantly important niche as he worked on the documentary entitled Light in the Darkness as its business manager and began to formulate the business model to expand his vision of creating documentaries on a broader scale with his co-founder Kimberly Resch and their team Shaman Motion Pictures. This led to the formation of Conscious Content and their non-profit Conscious Humanity Inc. As CEO, Brian oversees the operations of the business to ensure the right people contribute and is creating a cohesive creative team as well as a balance of capital and fiduciary responsibility. He is a charismatic negotiator and all around “good guy.” Brian is devoted to his two daughters and lives daily by his great faith and spirituality.

Kimberly is the co-founder and creative driving force behind Conscious Content LLC. While attending the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, she majored in marketing and communications which led her to create and eventually sell a successful communication technology company. By age 25, she followed her heart into the unlikely realm of finance and emotional wellness education, developing and leading trauma recovery wellness retreats in nine countries around the world. In 2013, Kimberly returned to America to work for a family-owned business leading their marketing and public relations departments. Soon after, Kimberly developed the idea for the award-winning documentary, Light in the Darkness. She produced the film after building a strong creative relationship with Shaman Motion Pictures. Kimberly introduced the film and the principals of Shaman to Brian, who, upon recognizing the exceptional content and quality of production, began to formulate the vision for Conscious Content LLC. With her educational and experiential backgrounds coming together, she developed and launched the company with a vision of becoming “Humanity’s Media Company”, giving a powerful and compassionate voice to the global community. Kimberly oversees operations and works in close relationship with partners and investors. She is the proud mother of three amazing sons, one multipoo Jasper and two crazy boxer puppies, Phoenix and Apollo.
