Stepping Fully Into Your Genius Zone with Rachel Huff

You’re an expert at one thing that you know the market needs, but you’re feeling tugged to do something else—something that just might be in your genius zone. Do you go for it? Communication maven turned agency matchmaker Rachel Huff did—and she shares her experience.

We discuss:

The challenges of starting a new business on the cusp of a global pandemic (with two tiny children and no day care).

Generating the courage to pivot from what you’re very good at to your genius zone.

The importance of building a new pipeline after a pivot—and allowing enough time for it to jell.

Giving yourself permission to lean into your genius—even when other “experts” try to change your mind.

Why creating and sharing your point of view is so critical for soloists.
