[02:58] – Being consistent is the golden ticket to success
[03:39] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: At the beginning of Go2Kitchens, Leslie was fighting in a world full of health care professionals. She was a cancer survivor who had a message to tell. She began to force her way into peoples’ lives and stepped into the belief that this might not be the right choice for her. She didn’t think she was good enough
[05:51] – “You don’t have to be pushing everybody’s buttons to get noticed”
[07:04] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: Leslie’s biggest ah-ha moment was the moment she hit the “Go Live” button. She knew live streaming would be something she could start with. She live streams on 3 platforms: YouTube, Facebook, and Periscope. She hit the “go live” button with an avocado in her hand – not knowing what to talk about – until she saw her image on the screen
[09:13] – Leslie uses Periscope for its unique, real-time comments feature
[10:07] – Average viewers per broadcast is anywhere from 3K-10K, and Leslie’s goal is to answer at least 75% of the comments

- Share an internet resource, like Evernote, with Fire Nation – Live Leap
- If you could recommend one book to our listeners, what would it be and why? – Nudge – “it’s the best business book I’ve ever read in my life”
