Intrinsic Drive®

This show was born of a desire to explore and share individual and collective experiences of pursuit, dedication, and growth - transforming discipline into habit, enjoying the process, and actualizing dreams. DO YOU REMEMBER……your lowest moment? What urged you forward? How did you pick yourself up, dust yourself off—and return to your path? Did you long for a roadmap, guide, or mentor? How did you pivot and continue your journey? In this show, we discover the deeper drives and strategies our guests employed to rise in their chosen endeavors. We learn the key decisions and defining moments forging their lives on the anvil. We learn how they commit to the process through a life of embracing their craft. Many have achieved excellence, even mastery. They impart gems of wisdom. During these episodes, we may be able to take away valuable concepts, adopt new mindsets, and implement empowering ways of being. During this podcast, we ask our guests essential questions - we discover their genesis, rise, and fall. We learn how they pivoted back on course, resuming their journey - confiding what they would redo or do differently. We learn crucial decisions forging them on the anvil. During these interviews, stories, and conversations we reveal their Intrinsic Drive™.

Kate's Take with Kate Erickson

December 14, 2022 • Phil Wharton - Wharton Health • Season 4 • Episode 7

Kate Erickson is the engine that powers the daily Entrepreneurs On Fire Podcast as well as Podcasters Paradise, an online educational resource teaching aspiring and seasoned podcasters how to create, grow, monetize, and build a sustainable business. Kate shares her mastery of business systems in her Kate’s Take podcast. In her new podcast, Nicole and Kate Can Relate—she shares entrepreneurial insights with friend and fellow podcaster Nicole Baldinu.

Kate’s path is a study in adaptation - harnessing skills from the industries of marketing, advertising, and banking. She left corporate America behind to build a seven-figure business. In 2013, Kate joined forces with her longtime partner John Lee Dumas at Entrepreneurs On Fire—an award-winning daily business podcast. These podcasting innovators continue to empower countless others to follow their lead while living the life of their dreams in Puerto Rico.

After graduating with a master's in English, Kate set her sights on becoming a college professor. Educational funding cutbacks in the state of California derailed Kate’s journey into teaching. In the third year of a position in the human resources department of a bank, she was promised a promotion which was given to another employee. Kate decided to create a new life on her terms.

Today, Kate transmits all her experience from years navigating the landscape of corporate advertising, marketing, creative writing, and harnessing the power of automation in business. It was a privilege to host Kate on this episode of Intrinsic Drive® .

Intrinsic Drive ® is produced by Ellen Strickler and Phil Wharton and Andrew Hollingworth is sound editor and engineer.
