In this solo episode of the Landmark Collective Podcast, Amanda dives into why in-person business conferences are one of the most transformative tools for Alaskan women entrepreneurs. She shares personal experiences, lessons from recent events, and the powerful benefits that only face-to-face connection can offer.

From networking breakthroughs to real-world education you can’t get from online courses, Amanda explains how stepping away from the day-to-day grind resets your creativity, sparks new ideas, and expands your opportunities. She also talks about the unique challenges of running a business in Alaska — from isolation to travel costs — and why our state desperately needs accessible, high-value conferences tailored to us.

This episode also includes a BIG announcement: Landmark Collective and CJC Dynamic Solutions are officially hosting the She Means Business Conference on January 31, 2026, in downtown Palmer. With keynote speaker Molly Blakely of Molly B’s Cookies, hands-on workshops, speed networking, masterminds, and a full day of tools and strategies, this conference is designed to help you grow your Alaskan business your way.
