July 25, 2024

Today, I’m sharing a conversation with one of my star students-turned coaches, Erika Stanley. 


Erika has truly mastered the No BS model. She's done an amazing job finding more freedom, space, and enjoyment in her life in a way that I know so many entrepreneurs wish they could. She’s also become a highly-valued and much-loved member of our No BS community.


In this conversation, she shares her story of going from agency employee to No BS owner.


Erika Stanley is the Founder, CEO, and AI Evangelist at Mile End Digital, and she's on a mission to help small business owners lead with their values and make a difference in the world. With almost 20 years in the industry and now in her fourth year of business, Erika blends heartfelt storytelling with cutting-edge technology to create a digital presence that’s both genuine and competitive.  Erika’s mantra: Live your truth, make a difference, and dive into every adventure life throws your way.
