I originally met today's guest, Amanda Cook, online. A couple of months later, I received an email from Julie Gray recommending that we get to know each other. So we met up via Skype and had an amazing conversation about business and life. I instantly knew that I wanted to have her as a guest on this podcast.
Amanda has built an amazing community around her first business, Vintage Amanda, which is a website for her health coaching business that's all about herbal beauty products and healthy eating. It's grown so much, that she started a second business, Wellpreneur Online, to help teach welllpreneurs around the world how to build an engaged audience around their business, grow a targeted email list of fans, and then convert those engaged fans into clients.
