How many powerful ideas die because someone feels guilty for wanting more?

In today’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Meg Calvin shares what she kept seeing at conferences - people pulling her aside, lowering their voices and almost confessing their book ideas like secrets.

Not because their ideas were bad - but because they were wrapped in shame, fear and the belief that wanting to share their work, or earn from it, somehow made them greedy or wrong.

This changed everything for ex-preacher Meg, and became her turning point for helping others. The work she does now is about trusting your instincts and putting meaningful ideas into the world - without guilt attached.

If you have ever talked yourself out of sharing something that mattered to you, this episode will hit close to home. 

More about Meg:

Meg Calvin is a Kansas based author, coach, and book coach who helps entrepreneurs and leaders turn the ideas in their head into published books that build authority and grow their brand. After years in ministry, including preaching from the age of 13, Meg now supports clients through the full journey of writing, marketing, and selling their books, with a focus on clarity, confidence, and creative integrity. She is also an improv performer with the troupe Snark Side of the Moon, and brings that same presence, play, and sharp communication into her coaching and speaking.
