About McKinley Oswald: For the past 25 years, McKinley Oswald has been heavily involved in working with direct sales companies and industry leaders to help them achieve success. His full-time contributions at Verb began after graduating from the University of Utah in 1998 when he became involved in the culture and direction of Sound Concepts (the company that was acquired by Verb in 2019).

Charlie jumped in at my first virtual summit in March 2021. At the time, she was struggling in her business and knew that she needed additional training and so when her upline Bridgette told her about her friend Mara who was going to be on the summit, she signed up!
Just a few short months later, she was texting me pictures of her walking the stage at her company convention and she said it all started with my summit.

Alison Margaritis: The Beauty of In Person Company Conferences
About Alison Margaritis: Over 30 years ago Alison started her personal development, health & healing journey; albeit one that ebbed & flowed with the changing stages of life. With her husband Con, raising 3 well-adjusted, heart-centered humans who are forging ahead successfully on their individual paths has been one of her greatest joys and challenges in life.
Entering the Network Marketing space with an introduction to Arbonne, 7 years ago while working full-time as an accountant, was a blessing that has brought great joy, personal growth, beautiful friendships and balance into her life. Being able to reduce work stresses & bring the fun back into everyday, the gift of choice is one that Alison loves to share with others.
In this episode, Jennie and Alison discuss:
- Trying out things with a little effort
- Attending company conventions
- Recognizing beliefs that hold you back
- A mindset of service and love
Key Takeaways:
- Try out new things with some effort. If you find a good amount of success in a little effort, just imagine how much you can achieve by giving a little more intention into it.
- Attend company conventions in person. It’s a good way to learn about the company’s culture, what are the people like and what the company values.
- There are no limits except what you believe are the limits of what you can do or what’s possible. Only you can truly hold yourself back.
- Approach clients with the intent to listen, to serve and to love rather than with desperation or with a self-centered mindset. Encourage your own team members to do their best, whatever that means for them.
“…not take those rejections or obstacles personally because it has absolutely nothing to do with you if you are offering from a place of service or love, not coming from a place of ‘I’m desperate’” — Alison Margaritis

- Move your deadline up when making your own goals and earlier than everyone else.

Jeff Hasty: Grow Your Confidence Easily
About Jeff Hasty: He studied and researched hypnosis at first for his curiosity which led him to meet a well known hypnotist who took him under his wing. That’s when he learned the true power of hypnosis and how it’s potential to help people. For years, he used what he was taught to help friends and families with various problems while he worked on his certification to become a certified hypnotist. He traveled a lot and focused on helping whoever was close to him at the time, meanwhile, doing small stage shows to hone his skills. He settled down in St. Louis and became more involved in helping his community through hypnosis.
In this episode, Jennie and Jeff discuss:
- More than just a trick
- What hypnosis can do for you
- Misconceptions about hypnosis
- How to grow confidence
Key Takeaways:
- There’s a lot more to hypnosis than just what seems like carnival tricks. It has a lot of potential for personal development.
- Hypnosis can help with pain management, smoking cessation, weight-loss, anxiety, sport enhancement and more.
- A hypnotist can’t tell you to do what you don’t want to do, your own subconscious will reject it if that’s not what you are there for.
- Do it more, and you’ll get more confident. Once you get more confident, you’ll feel like doing it more. It’s a self-perpetuating process that would lead to success.
“…understanding that even though rejection may come from it, it’s not personal, not a negative thing, that person is just not ready to accept what you’re trying to throw out there so move on to the next and don’t let that affect your confidence.” — Jeff Hasty
