 This week’s episode is the first of its kind on the Cubicle to CEO Podcast! We are bringing you our very first LIVE podcast recording from an event we had with Upper Left Ladies a couple weeks ago at the beautiful Vessel Society in Portland Oregon. 

My friend Jyssica Yelas, co-founder of Upper Left Ladies, and I wanted to share our conversation about how her breakeven event led to a 300% increase in organic reach and countless brand partnerships! We see this episode as a case study within a case study since we recorded this in front of an audience, and were able to have them be part of the conversation as well. This event in and of itself was an opportunity to showcase the value of putting on live events beyond short-term profits by seeing all of the attendees expanding their networks and meeting other female entrepreneurs they can relate with. 

Q&A:

  • 42:55 - Where does Jyss see Upper Left Ladies in 5 year? 
  • 43:49 - Is there anything Jyss is excited to start in 2022?
  • 44:48 - What's a partnership that stands out as a really good example or was surprising?
  • 46:30 - Who is yours ideal Upper Left Ladies community member?
  • 47:26 - How does Upper Left Ladies incorporate the woo into their business?
  • 49:56 - How do Jyss and Ellen show up as leaders when tackling something they have never done before?
