I met today's podcast guest, Erin Disbennet, in Cabo, Mexico, at a mastermind retreat. It quickly became apparent she is the more beautiful, younger, female version of me. During our interview, Erin explores how she realized she had to become vulnerable to get uncomfortable and leave her former job to create her own company.

Erin Disbennet
At 27 years old, Erin Disbennet is a firecracker ready to destroy the status quo of societal norms. That is why they call her "the queen of positive disruption"!

Erin is also the CEO and co-founder of Amplitude Sports, a sports marketing agency revolutionizing the way companies invest in sports partnerships (set to launch summer 2021)!
