Episode Details
Back to EpisodesBeyond the Feed: The Hidden Inner Game of a Global Influencer w/ Sue B. Zimmerman
Description
To the online world, Sue B. Zimmerman is the high-energy "Instagram Expert," a serial entrepreneur who has built 18 businesses and taught thousands how to dominate the digital landscape. But behind the hashtags and the strategy lies a deeply intuitive operator who doesn't use spreadsheets to predict the future…she uses inner knowing.
In this episode, Sue B. pulls back the curtain on the spiritual engine driving her business. She opens up about the valley of a toxic business partnership that taught her to audit her energy, and why she refuses to accept the term midlife, preferring to live in her prime. She shares the visceral stories of surrender that defined her resilience…from jumping out of a plane in New Zealand to undergoing risky eye surgery to see her audience more clearly.
Corissa and Sue B. explore the intersection of Hustle and Flow. They discuss why Sue B. doesn't need vision boards, how she uses travel as a spiritual awakening, and why the most luxurious thing you can buy isn't a bag, but a plane ticket to the unknown.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Manifestation Protocol: How Sue B. declared her career to a camera propped in a tree years before it happened, and why she trusts visualizing over vision boards.
- The Partnership Audit: The painful lesson of a 60/40 business split that taught Sue B. to value her own worth and ruthlessly edit her relationships.
- Surrender as a Skill: How skydiving and lens replacement surgery became profound lessons in trusting the process and letting go of control.
- The Luxury of Awe: Why travel (from Iceland to Patagonia) is the ultimate tool for waking up a deadened spirit.
- Digital Boundaries: How Sue B.’s twin daughters taught her to put down the phone and honor the cadence of nature.
