So I first heard Eileen Wilder actually on a keynote. She gave on a big stage with Russell Branson in a big live event. And I genuinely believe she is one of the best public speakers I've ever seen or heard. And I knew I needed to get to know her. And I'm going to need to bring her to LeapCon and to a Leap Academy podcast. So here we are. This is so, so, so fun.
And by the way, in a couple of weeks, we're also going to be in LeapCon. She's going to be in San Jose, which is so incredible. Eileen, this is so fun. But seriously, Eileen for me embodies the very definition of a quantum leap. Imagine spending two decades as a pastor.
serving your community on a very humble salary, only to pivot and discover a skillset that would allow you to generate over a million dollars in a single day. Today, she is the queen of stages. She shares platform with legends like Tony Robbins and Russell Branson, and she's a best-selling author, and she teaches entrepreneurs. how to stop grinding for pennies and command premium prices.
But her story isn't just about the money. Like for me, it's about this terrifying but also exhilarating transition she had to do and the mindset shift that is required to believe you're worth more. And that's why this conversation is gonna be so incredible. And remember, at the end of the conversation, we pick a question that you ask on our YouTube channel.
And in this time, we are going to pick Richard's question because it's so relevant. And he is asking about if I want to move from corporate to consulting or coaching, how do I price my services? So stay tuned. It's going to be so incredible. Eileen Wilder, so great to have you.
Thank you, Alana. I'm so looking forward to this. It's going to be amazing.
I'm really, really excited about this conversation, but I want to take you back in time, like a decade or so ago. And a lot of our people are in their career. They're maybe stuck in a box. They build themselves over the years and they're like, I don't know if I can ever leave because I've been doing this for so long. Take us back in time to your life. like a decade ago. What was it like even?
