2025-12-03 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online Event
You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Laurie Hardie in our 83rd Episode on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025 from Noon to 1pm (PST) as we discuss “Living a Legacy.”
🎙️ Meet Our Guest: Laurie Hardie
Laurie Hardie is a beloved Seattle radio host, author, speaker, podcaster, and coach who has spent more than three decades helping people share their stories with courage and clarity. As a former single mom of three—and now “Grandma LaLa” to six—Laurie understands the profound value of capturing life’s moments, honoring our experiences, and passing wisdom from one generation to the next.
Laurie is passionate about helping women speak in a way that truly connects. During the pandemic, she made a powerful discovery: many podcasters, Zoom facilitators, and online leaders believed they were communicating inclusively, but their methods were unintentionally isolating listeners. Drawing from her 35+ years in broadcasting and her degree in social services, Laurie now teaches people how to make their voices more inviting, intentional, and impactful.
Her newest offering, the 7-Day Podcast Pro program, blends storytelling, communication strategy, and on-air experience to help anyone launch or elevate their podcast with confidence.

Laurie reminds us that your life is made of hundreds of moments, and each one has the power to touch someone else’s heart. Your legacy begins the moment you decide to hit record.

2026-03-18 12:00 - 13:00
You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Molly Klipp in our 85th Episode on Wednesday, March 18th from Noon to 1pm (PST) as we discuss “Teaching AI with ChatGPT: Build your DNA Clone + Create On-Brand AI Imaging.” (Fast!)
Molly Klipp is the founder of Carefree Beauty Permanent Makeup and the Profit Coach with Beauty Business Mastery. With 43 years in the beauty industry and two successful companies behind her, she helps women feel confident and seen through permanent brows, eyeliner, and lips that simplify daily routines.
Through Beauty Business Mastery, Molly coaches independent beauty professionals to systemize and strategize their businesses so they keep more of what they earn, reduce stress, and build a business that supports their life, not runs it. Her style is practical and warm, with a strong focus on clear offers, consistent client care, and simple money systems that create real profit.
Married to her best friend for 48 years, Molly is a mom of four and a proud grandma. She brings heart, experience, and straight talk to every room, helping beauty business owners shorten their learning curve and grow with confidence.
Using ChatGPT as your voice, to simplify, speed up and create great content for social media, websites, any courses you teach, emails, the list is endless! Also, how to use your avatars to have fun and eye catching graphics that YOU create! Simple and fun!
In this enlightening presentation, you will learn:
– You already have a voice people trust — we’re just teaching AI to speak it.
– This isn’t about more work… it’s about more leverage.
– Your next level is closer than you think. When you talk into the microphone and let your Clone multiply your words into posts, reels, and images, you’re not “keeping up” — you’re leading with confidence.
– Stop borrowing other people’s content… clone your own brilliance, and let AI multiply it.”
