Last week’s Love Means Business Community Connections event was such a great reminder that the best relationships are built when we think about not only what we can gain—but what we can give.

A sincere THANK YOU to LMB community member Will Greenblatt - Public Speaking Coach for sharing The Real Value of a Value Exchange and showing us how exchanging expertise can build accountability, strengthen relationships, generate testimonials, and even create future opportunities. And thank you to Candice Van Dertholen| Global Speaker | Energy Practitioner for leading our guided networking and everyone who joined us to celebrate, learn, and intentionally connect.

Keep Loving. Keep Learning. Keep Leveling Up.

🚨 NEW PODCAST CLIP: The Jet Fuel for Burnout 🚨

“It’s okay to not be perfect. It’s okay to make mistakes.”

In this clip with Heather Kidwell, Emily Green talks about why letting go of perfection isn’t weakness—it’s one of the healthiest things you can do.

And if this conversation speaks to you, we wanted to make sure you knew about something before it’s gone.

❤️ Fellow Love Means Business community member, and our featured podcast guest in this clip, Dr. Heather Kidwell, is hosting the Reignite Your Inner Flame Summit in Myrtle Beach on August 8–9, and Love Means Business is proud to be a sponsor.

This isn’t another conference packed with sessions and to-do lists. It’s two days to truly exhale, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived. If you’ve been running on empty, this could be exactly what you need.
There are only 13 general admission tickets remaining.

🎟️ Tickets are $99 and you can save $10 with code LETSGO at reignitesummit.com.

✨ MEMBER SPOTLIGHT ✨

“If you can imagine a way out or another path, then guess what...there is one.” — Fred Griffith

In his conversation with our founder Emily Green Fred shares:
🎭 What acting taught him about confidence and commitment
💼 The leadership lesson that surprised him most as a business owner
🎤 Why he’s passionate about helping others believe it’s never too late to reinvent themselves

His story is a powerful reminder that our past doesn’t define our future…and sometimes the greatest opportunity begins with simply imagining what’s possible.

What does it take to speak effectively on stage? Brian Lafontaine shares his top three tips with us:

1. Connect Immediately
Take a moment to in the first few seconds to connect with your audience. Make eye contact with a few people to help ground you as you start.

2. Start with Confidence
Know how you want to start. The exact first words that you want to say in the first 5 seconds. (And, no...not just “Hi my name is.....and I’m so glad to be here.”

3. It’s about the audience.
Be there for the audience. Make it about them.

Thank you, Brian, for these amazing tips! We’re excited for our August special collaboration between Brian’s Speak Easy and the Love Means Business Speaker Support & Referral Community!
