The humans behind the mic @ Curiously Guided
We’re obsessed with lifestyle-design so that’s what we share. Behind the scenes stories of people building businesses & careers that support their dream life. By exploring the deeper questions, we uncover what “success” really means.
Let’s pull THe CUrtain back…
Our Vision for the Curiously Guided Podcast:
We’re trying to round up people like us; people that want to use their skills, gifts, talents, and genius to change lives & impact this world in a way that only they can. The people that want to make money doing the shit they love in a way that FEELS GOOD, grounded, and fulfilling.
Here at Curiously Guided, we want to be a space of transparency, inspiration, and motivation to do life differently; do it your way, whether it looks messy or weird, or random. WHO CARES. No path looks the same. And we want to be a space that honors, celebrates, and shares that.
We see this podcast as everything that people won’t share on Instagram.We don’t give AF about the highlight reels. We love getting in the weeds, asking the tough questions, and doing the work while committing to ourselves & our personal growth. Because only through that lens can we truly create an aligned business and a life that we don’t want to escape from.
About Mariah
SEO Consultant & Educator and YouTuber
Hiya, I’m Mariah! I’m an award-winning SEO Consultant & Educator for business owners & small marketing teams. I’m a firm believer that showing up in search results and organically marketing your business doesn’t have to be as difficult & overwhelming as everyone makes it (which is what ultimately inspired me to start my YouTube channel in the first place!) – Since 2015, I’ve guided hundreds of clients and students to achieve page-one search results through actionable and practical strategies, ultimately inspiring them to take SEO into their own hands.
I’ve been quoted on Forbes, interviewed on Business Insider & USA Weekly, and I work directly with Semrush Academy as a Course Writer & SEO Subject Matter Expert.
About Shay
Brand Strategist | Coach | Sales Consultant
Shay here! I'm a sales consultant and coach with almost two decades of experience helping thought leaders and creators build profitable businesses online.
I started my career as a strategic planner, coordinating multi-billion dollar infrastructure investments in my midwestern hometown. Although the work was interesting, I quickly realized the traditional 9-5 life was not for me.
So after side-hustling online for years, I took my online business dreams full-time and co-founded a brand consultancy, Free the Robot Creative in 2017.
Since going out on my own, I've helped hundreds of clients grow their own online businesses, traveled to 20+ countries working remotely, started this podcast, and discovered a passion for teaching non-sales-y people how to sell more.
How can we create a life that deeply fulfills us?Trust the nudge, ask the questions,
and let curiosity guide the way
