Build Your Own Stage: Creating Opportunity Through Story, Strategy, and Visibility

What if instead of chasing leads… you created a space where opportunities naturally come to you?

In this episode of Economy Creators™, Mary sits down with Nicole Borghi—known as the “Summit Queen”—to explore how entrepreneurs can stop circling the same leads and start building ecosystems where connection, visibility, and momentum happen naturally.

Nicole’s journey is anything but traditional.

From working in virtual reality and AI to leading immersive events and supporting survivors through her work with Confronting Domestic Violence, she has built a unique blend of strategy, creativity, and service. Her work centers on one core idea:

You can build your own world.

And when you do—you control the conversation, the community, and the opportunities within it.

In this conversation, Nicole shares how summits and stages are not just marketing tools—they are containers for transformation, connection, and growth.

You’ll discover:
• Why your story is the foundation of your business—and your sales
• How summits create a “one-and-done” content engine for visibility
• The difference between talking at an audience vs. engaging with them
• How to build a community where people feel seen, heard, and valued
• Why participation and interaction are the future of events and marketing
• How to use AI as a tool—without losing your voice or identity
• The importance of delegation and letting go to truly scale your business

Nicole brings a powerful perspective on storytelling—not as performance, but as connection.

When you share your story from a place of growth (not pain), you create relatability, trust, and ultimately… opportunity.

Because people don’t connect with perfection.
They connect with authenticity, clarity, and transformation.

This episode also challenges a common trap many entrepreneurs fall into:

Doing everything themselves.

Nicole emphasizes that success doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from creating systems, building support, and allowing others to contribute.

And perhaps most importantly…

She reminds us that in a world of noise, automation, and constant change, your greatest advantage is still:

You.

Your voice.
Your story.
Your perspective.

AI can support you.
Platforms can amplify you.

But only you can create something truly unique.

Janet Munro - Roots and Branches
Nancy Harrison’s story takes us back to a time when teenage pregnancy was hidden, and young girls were sent away to homes for unwed mothers. At just 17, Nancy found herself pregnant after a brief relationship with a boy who chose not to be involved. With little knowledge, no real choice, and the weight of societal expectations, she was sent away from home to have her baby in secrecy. Her daughter was adopted — but never forgotten.

Nancy went on to build a life, marrying young and raising children, while also experiencing deep loss, including the heartbreaking death of a young daughter. Years later, at age 21, the child she placed for adoption reached out. What followed was a reunion filled with emotion, healing, and understanding.

This episode explores the lasting impact of those experiences, the silence many women still carry, and the message that it was never just their fault.

What does it truly mean to rise beyond adversity—and not just survive, but lead?

In this powerful episode of Economy Creators™, Mary sits down with Brian P. Swift, J.D.—motivational speaker, bestselling author, nonprofit founder, leadership coach, and living example of resilience in action.

Known as “The Quadfather,” Brian’s life changed forever at the age of 17 when a tragic accident left him a C6 quadriplegic. But rather than allowing that moment to define him, Brian made a different decision—one that would shape the trajectory of his entire life.

He chose to redefine what was possible.

Through faith, discipline, and a relentless commitment to growth, Brian went on to earn his degree from Saint Xavier University and his Juris Doctor from DePaul University College of Law, becoming a National Negotiations Finalist. He spent over two decades in corporate leadership, training, sales, and marketing—helping launch and grow multiple successful companies.

But his story doesn’t stop there.

Brian is also a certified John Maxwell Coach and Speaker, a lifelong coach of football and basketball, and the co-founder of Swift Outdoor Accessible Recreation (SOAR)—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping people with disabilities reconnect with the outdoors and break through perceived limitations.

In this conversation, Brian shares the mindset that has guided his journey—and continues to guide the lives of those he coaches.

You’ll hear powerful insights on:

• Why “failure doesn’t exist”—only learning and growth
• How your self-talk shapes your reality and your results
• The truth about comparison—and why it steals your joy
• Why success begins with writing down your goals and living them daily
• How to adapt, adjust, and move forward—no matter your circumstances
• The role of faith, perspective, and identity in creating a meaningful life
• Why giving, asking, and serving others are key to fulfillment and success

Brian’s philosophy is simple, yet profound:

Start where you are.
Decide what you want.
And move forward—consistently.

Because the formula for success doesn’t change based on your circumstances.

It’s not about what happens to you.
It’s about how you choose to think, respond, and act.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your life is not defined by your conditions—but by your decisions.
