When Opportunity Knocks: Show Up and Say YesReal Talk, Real People, Real LinkedIn – with G Haridy
This episode is full of warmth, laughter, and the kind of honest conversation you only get when two people genuinely click.
Ashley sits down with the brilliant and refreshingly real Gehan “G” Haridy-Ardanowski to chat LinkedIn, showing up as your true self, and why we’ve got to stop overcomplicating it all.
From the stories behind G’s unforgettable book title (“From Satan to Sensational HR”) to how she helps small business owners find clarity and confidence in their LinkedIn presence, this is one of those shows that feels like a proper cuppa with mates.

What holds people back from being visible online
How G supports clients with messaging and personal branding
The power of simplicity and using your own voice
Why "doing it your way" always wins
G is someone who knows LinkedIn inside out but still makes it feel like fun. She brings decades of experience in HR, training, and leadership — and now uses that to help others show up authentically and effectively. With warmth, honesty, and a few laughs, G supports her clients to stop hiding and start being seen.
Ashley and G talk about how their paths crossed (and how much G looks up to Ashley!)
G shares why so many small business owners feel frozen when it comes to LinkedIn
Why branding doesn’t have to be complicated
G’s tips on getting started when you feel overwhelmed
