   S1 E7: The Role of Humor in Business

   What can horses, entrepreneurship, international moves, and humor teach us about success? In this episode of Level Up USA's The Edge (https://leveluppromotionsinc.com/), we sit down with Kirsty to explore her remarkable journey from a horse-obsessed young girl in the UK to building a successful career in the United States. Along the way, she shares the lessons she's learned about pursuing your passions, adapting to new environments, and staying true to yourself through every stage of growth. Together, we dive into the often-overlooked role humor plays in business, how it helps build relationships, break down barriers, navigate challenges, and create authentic connections in professional settings. Kirsty also opens up about balancing personal passions with career ambitions, overcoming stereotypes, and finding fulfillment without sacrificing the things that matter most. Whether you're an entrepreneur, professional, or someone chasing a dream of your own, this conversation offers valuable insights on resilience, authenticity, and why sometimes a sense of humor can be one of your greatest business assets.

   S1 E6: Building Businesses Without Limits

   In this episode of Level Up USA’s The Edge, we sit down with entrepreneur and business mentor from South Africa, Grant Sherwood, for a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, personal growth, and the mindset required to build a lasting legacy. From growing up as a self-proclaimed “dreamer” in South Africa to building multiple successful businesses across marketing, transportation, consulting, and real estate, Grant shares the real story behind the success, the setbacks, sacrifices, limiting beliefs, and lessons that shaped his journey. He opens up about overcoming personal challenges like divorce, rebuilding his mindset, and learning how personal development directly impacts business growth. The conversation dives into everything from leadership and discipline to fitness, fear, identity, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. Grant also explains how helping others unlock their potential has become more meaningful than material success, and why legacy, not luxury, is now the driving force behind everything he builds. This episode is packed with perspective for entrepreneurs, aspiring leaders, and anyone chasing bigger goals while trying to grow into the person capable of achieving them.
