Amy Jo Martin’s company Digital Royalty was wildly successful with partners like Zappos and NBA all-star “Shaq.” She seemed to be on top of the world, when she realized she had a “purpose problem.”
Amy Jo left the business to move into nature and reset. Now, she journals at home in the woods 15 miles outside of Mount Rushmore. She’s again serving as an entrepreneur, angel investor + “the third most powerful woman on Twitter,” but today she’s got her purpose in place.
Join us to hear Amy Jo’s story, see how to choose significance over success and ultimately live more inspired.
SHOW NOTES:
AMY JO MARTIN'S LIVE INSPIRED 7
1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? Playfulness.
3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? I have so many journals. Especially my 2011 - 2012 journal when I was really struggling. I'd like to be able to reflect and look back on it and continue to learn from it.
4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? My great, great grandfather who was the founder of the city that I lived near by. I would ask him about intuition: How do you know how to make things happen v. letting them happen?
5. What is the best advice you've ever received? Be where your feet are. Be present. Don't borrow from yesterday or tomorrow.
6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? I would tell her that she has nothing to prove.
7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? Gratitude is a strategy.
