In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we’re joined by business coach and “accidental entrepreneur” Lianne Kim for a powerful conversation about redefining success, building a sustainable business, and embracing a life-first approach to entrepreneurship. From solo backpacking adventures in Southeast Asia to running a thriving international community of mompreneurs, Lianne shares how she built a values-aligned business that allows her to work less—and win more. We also unpack sales mindset shifts, team-building tips, and what it really takes to grow without burning out.
Catch Lianne on Instagram and tune in to her podcast, The Business of Thinking Big, where she shares mindset, strategy, and hustle tips to help you grow your revenue and serve more dream clients. Planning to be in Toronto? Check out MamaCon, her annual conference for mom entrepreneurs, happening November 7. Curious about the book Lianne’s currently loving? It’s Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten.
