In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom about Conventional Wisdom, I sits down with Kelly Schuknecht, Founder and Chief Elevation Officer of Two Mile High Marketing, for a candid, deeply human conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, and learning to trust yourself when there is no clear roadmap. Kelly shares her own unexpected career path from studying Spanish and spending 20 years working behind the scenes to taking the leap into entrepreneurship and stepping into the spotlight as a thought leader. She speaks openly about starting a business later in life, how being laid off became a turning point rather than a setback, and why waiting to feel “ready” can quietly keep you stuck.Together, Kim and Kelly reflect on the mindset shifts that happen when you move from employee to business owner especially the challenge of letting go of doing everything yourself and redefining what meaningful work really looks like as a leader. Kelly also opens up about her fear of public speaking, moments of imposter syndrome, and the uncomfortable growth required to build confidence, visibility, and momentum.This conversation also dives into: * Why you don’t need a linear career plan to succeed * The connection between storytelling, language, and thought leadership * Getting comfortable with sales by reframing it as service * Why personal branding can feel awkward but still be essential * Learning to listen to your intuition instead of external expectations * How leadership confidence grows through action, not perfectionListen, learn, and don’t forget to share with someone who needs this! Listen on Spotify @Kim Miller - Hershon https://open.spotify.com/show/3roK1Ay... Listen on Apple Podcast @Kim Miller - Hershon https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Website :https://www.kimmillerhershon.comConnect with me on Linkedin : / kmillerhershon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
