Stop Playing Small: Rewriting Your Money Story in the AI Era with Jen Fontanilla

Are you tired of the "starving artist" narrative? Somewhere along the way, entrepreneurs were sold the lie that if you follow your passion, you must struggle—and that money is optional. Today, we are ripping that narrative to shreds.

Joining hosts Julie Lokun and Dominick Domasky is Jen Fontanilla, a certified money coach, TEDx speaker, and former financial advisor who has worked with industry titans like Disney, Sony, and Warner Brothers. Jen walked away from the traditional financial world to help visionaries stop playing small and start charging the premium prices they actually deserve.

In this episode, we dive deep into the "Woo and the Work"—the intersection of subconscious money stories and practical business strategy. Whether you're a freelancer looking to ditch the 9-to-5 or a seasoned business owner ready to scale, this episode is your roadmap to financial confidence.

Inside The Episode:

• The Woo vs. The Work: Why strategy alone won't save you if your subconscious money blocks are still running the show.

• The "Gamification" of Success: How Jen leveraged faith and a "screw it, let's try it" attitude to land major corporate accounts.

• Transitioning from W2 to 1099: The honest (and sometimes messy) truth about leaving your job, managing equity, and building a sustainable nest egg.

• Pricing Your Worth: How to stop talking yourself out of your rates and start owning your expertise.

• The Power of Language: Why "fancy" marketing kills sales and how speaking your client's "raw" language converts more leads.
