BIO:

Robin J. Emdon, aka The Procrastination Slayer, is the creator of GetResultsology® – The Science of Getting Stuff Done! and host of the GoalBusters podcast (100+ episodes). His journey from chronic procrastinator to accountability coach began with a face-palm moment in 2019: despite being a trained life coach, it had taken him ten years to finish a six-year home-study degree — stalled by years of procrastination. That embarrassing realization sparked a three-year deep dive into academic studies and science-backed books on the topic.

Based in South Devon, England, Robin now helps solopreneurs, creatives, and independent professionals achieve up to 33% more of their goals through brain-based strategies, accountability, and his momentum formula: Do it today. Profit tomorrow. Repeat!

In this episode of Unleashing Your Great Work, Amanda sits down with Alice Draper, founder of Hustling Writers and host of the award-winning podcast My Rejection Story. Alice is on a mission to make publicity accessible by helping creators and entrepreneurs build what she calls rejection resilience.

Alice shares her personal story of caregiving during the pandemic, facing loss, and discovering that life becomes richer when we stop self-rejecting. She explains how rejection shows up in our brains as real pain, why building a “rejection muscle” is essential, and how community makes the process of visibility more sustainable.

You’ll learn:

• Why we regret the risks we never take more than the ones that didn’t work out
• How to build rejection resilience through small, low-stakes experiments
• Why publicity is less about hustle and more about collaboration
• The surprising “fake assistant” hack to pitch with less fear
• How partnerships and platform-specific collaborations can grow your reach

If you’ve been holding back from pitching, posting, or putting yourself out there, this conversation will give you both courage and concrete strategies.
