How did a single radio conversation inspire Dr. Shelly Hipsky to collect stories?
She had this incredible story, and it really touched my heart. It touched my heart so much, and I started typing like a maniac on my laptop. She's telling me this story, tears are coming down my face, and I was like, oh my God, I need to have this story. And I said, you know, are there other people out there that have stories like you have? She said, yes, and you should be the one to tell them.
Dr. Shelly Hipsky is a visionary, empowering and purpose-driven CEO, award-winning author and the founder of Inspiring Lives International, where she leads a global movement dedicated to uplifting women through media, education and coaching. Through her work, she equips women to discover their purpose, build confidence and create meaningful lives, leaving a legacy of leadership and empowerment around the world.
You have to be able to see what the possibilities are. I just needed to look at these three words and figure out what the heck was going on there. And I was like, it's a trilogy.
Where was the pivot that came into all of these different branching businesses that you have?
There was a moment.
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis Brando. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago was the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dreams.
All right. And we are back with another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast. I am joined today by Dr. Shelly Hipsky of many different businesses. All right. And you're actually in two separate episodes on our platform.
I'm excited about that.
You're in Next Level CEO, I believe, and Women in Power.
Yes.
A powerful CEO, a powerful woman is joining us here in the studio. So give me a little bit of background on you. How do I get from the point A of a young Shelly to point B, the Dr. Shelly Hipski that's sitting with me today?
That's a loaded big old question, isn't it?
Feel free to give me your story at length.
At length, ad nauseum. Okay, I can give you being little Shelly. I'm not going to take it all the way back there, but I am going to take it to being the teacher Shelly because I was a tenured professor of education for a decade and I absolutely adored that. While I was a teacher, as a professor, I had my undergraduates and master's degree students were future teachers. My PhD students were all going on to lead businesses or school districts. So while doing that, I was meeting incredible people. I was meeting interesting people. And I was writing because it was like publisher parish in the professor world. Meeting these people, going on media, starting to talk to people, starting to collect their stories.
And there was a moment where I did a radio show. OK, I did this radio show.
Before the land of podcasting was a thing, we used to do radio. All right.
Exactly. So I'm doing a radio show. And they came back to me and they said, you know, Dr. Shelley, you need to re-tape this because it didn't go well the first time. Apparently, there was a glitch in the tech. He said to me, he said, you know what, I want you to meet somebody before we do that. And that person, when I called her on the phone... I called her up. She had a business called Mind Your Business. Good name. Yeah, it is a good name, isn't it? But she had this incredible story. And it really touched my heart. It touched my heart so much that I'm talking on the cell phone. And I was like, hold on. I put her on hold. I put her on speaker. And I started typing like a maniac on my laptop. So I'm like, I'm getting her story.
She's telling me the story. Tears are coming down my face. And I was like, oh, my God, I need to have this story. I need to. And I said, you know, are there other people out there that have stories like you have, Claral? And she said, yes, and you should be the one to tell them. And I said, OK. So we go back. I go back to record this interview with this on this radio show in Michigan.
