The Power of Podcast Touring, Living with Bipolar, and Thriving as an Emotional Entrepreneur with Powerhouse Scout Sobel

Welcome to another empowering episode of our podcast! In this episode, we will explore the intersection between entrepreneurship and experiencing mental health challenges. Most importantly, we will learn how to align our purpose and power to find our dreams, meet our mission, and help others find their lives in alignment.

Entrepreneurship is often portrayed as an exciting journey filled with opportunities, innovation, and success. However, beneath the surface lies a reality that many entrepreneurs face—various challenges. It has been said that entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride of emotions. Entrepreneurs go through many emotional highs and lows, from the excitement and enthusiasm of a new enterprise to the frustration and sadness of setbacks. Therefore, we must realize that our emotions don't define our life's purpose and human value. We must also practice self-care and meditation, foster a support network, and cultivate a growth mindset. Because as our guest speaker says, "We have the power to change our current situation. And we are in control of ourselves more than we think."

Our guest for this episode is Scout Sobel, a trailblazer in the media industry for utilizing Podcast Tours as a powerful form of PR. She founded Scout's Agency in February 2019 after recognizing the power of podcasting as a long-form, intimate medium for founders to tell their stories and expand their businesses. Her signature Podcast Tours™ places female entrepreneurs as guests on podcasts. Over the past three and a half years, Scout's Agency has grown 600% since year one, booked over 2,000 podcast episodes, cultivated a database of over 5,000 podcasts, and has run over 150 Podcast Tours™ under Scout's leadership. Scout has also lived with bipolar disorder for the last 15 years. She was once unable to function in society. Still, after finding entrepreneurship and taking radical responsibility for her emotions, Scout can now live a life of purpose. She is the author of the bestselling book, The Emotional Entrepreneur: The Emotional Guidebook to Entrepreneurship, the host of The Emotional Entrepreneur Podcast, and the co-host of the top-charting podcast, Okay Sis.

Join us as we dive into the fascinating power of our emotions and how it adds value to our entrepreneurial success. Let us learn from the life of an empowered woman who helped entrepreneurs effectively navigate the highs and lows of their emotions. Indeed, Scout's expertise will greatly benefit everyone who aims to find the right business that fits them and that they can effectively perform with satisfaction and fulfillment.
