308: Thriving as a Woman in Business with Angela Guice

This is a tour de force conversation about being a woman business owner and how to navigate changes in the economy that we’re all seeing and experiencing right now.

My guest is Angela Guice, the founder of an Emmy-award-winning Los Angeles-based production company that has worked with clients like The Walt Disney Company, Netflix, Hulu, BET, Warner Media, NBCUniversal and DreamWorks.

Angela and I worked together on creating her new keynote around the importance of personal branding and how your uniqueness, even what you may perceive as a weakness, is actually your strength.

In this episode, Angela and I talk about:

• Her roots and why she wanted to work in Hollywood
• The weaknesses she perceived she had and how they turned out to be what set her apart
• The framework we created for her keynote
• How she’s navigated changes in the economy, from the impact of COVID on the filming business in 2020 to what she’s seeing now
• Specific things you can do now to thrive in your business
