“Is that… Jaclyn Mellone? Go-To Gal, Jaclyn Mellone?! Is she today’s featured guest?”
Oh, why, YES! Yes, she is!!!
Now, before we dive into the marvelous conversation I shared with Jaclyn, let me give you some more inside scoop on who this boss babe is.
So, 6 years ago, Jaclyn was 32, pregnant, and was chasing her two year old… WHILE ALSOOO CHASING SOME CRAZY BIG DREAMS!
She started her business and podcast from her living room in Rochester, New York with a $65 mic and a Zoom account. Today, Jaclyn Mellone is the genius behind Go-To Gal Media and host of the Go-To Gal podcast!
Since then, Jaclyn has been featured in a number of articles by Forbes, Entrepreneur, Yahoo Finance, Reader’s Digest, Parents, and has spoken at marketing conferences around the US. She has also been named one of Forbes Top 21 podcasts for 2021 and is a top 200 marketing podcast on iTunes. Her podcast covers topics ranging from mindset business strategy to the latest marketing tactics.
Jaclyn works with experts around the globe to help them become the go to authority in their space. Her approach combines business strategy with mindset practices to help her clients bust through their blocks and exponentially grow their business. While a lot has changed in six years, Jaclyn and her husband are still chasing around their 5 year old, 8 year old, and 10 year old pup – and Jaclyn is chasing EVEN CRAZIER DREAMS. (And yes, she is still using a $65 mic and swears by her Zoom account!)
So, yeah, Jaclyn is definitely a force to reckon with!
