The Power of Proximity & In-Person Communities with Karina & Stacey

We all know there is immense power in community (or at least, we should –and if not, consider this your sign to learn more about it by tuning in!).   But I truly believe this power source of community stems from coming alongside other people, building connections, putting yourself out there, supporting each other, and realizing the value of taking a chance and just going for it.   You know what’s even more powerful? When your community meets in person –because the value-add of proximity amplifies all of the amazing benefits of being a part of a community!   My two guests today are prime examples of how transformative communities can be for your mindset, your business, and your life –and I am pumped for this conversation!!   Today, I am talking to Stacey Stufflebeam and Karina Baldwin. You probably remember Karina from episodes #84 and #137, but in a nutshell, she uses her background in Sport & Performance Psychology to help female Business Owners become the best version of themselves while calming the f*ck down and actually enjoying the success they are finding.   Stacey Stufflebeam has been an online yoga teacher (RYT 500/eRYT 200) for over 16 years and specializes in helping high achievers go after their dreams and find peace in the present moment.   In this double guest episode, we’re talking about the beauty of community, why in-person retreats are so transformative, how a community can support the acceleration of your business, the power of proximity, and how our 2023 Baja Business Retreat pushed Karina and Stacey out of their comfort zone and gave them the confidence to go for it and get shit done. Plus, so much more!   If you’re ready to take action, hit that play button, and let’s go!   Leave a 5 star review on iTunes!    Episode Highlights: [00:50] How everybody knows everybody [2:45] Meeting at the junction point of the 2023 Baja, Mexico Business Retreat [6:13] Why Stacey pre booked her flight to the retreat before she applied [8:50] What Stacey experienced from attending the Baja business retreat  [12:30] How co-hosting a business retreat is different than non-business retreats [15:56] The challenges and perspective of serving people outside of your industry [17:00] Learning how to do business differently than others in your niche [19:19] Sharing space with women who make money and support themselves [21:00] The power in proximity and working together [25:53] The benefits of retreats for your business [26:50] Their mindset going into the upcoming retreat   Need help getting shit done? https://www.facebook.com/groups/getshitdoneclub  Send us podcast ideas at info@kelseymarieknutson.com    Links: Show notes: https://www.kelseymarieknutson.com/podcast   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelseymarieknutson/  Hangout on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/getshitdoneclub    Try my favorite greens!
