A Sampling Of Amberās Guest Interviews
& What The Podcast Hosts Had To Say
Having Amber on the show was an absolute delight! She was prepared and fully engaged, which made interviewing her so much fun.
Her expertise in productivity and time management was not only enlightening but also incredibly practical. One topic that I really enjoyed was putting the customers first. I can't emphasize how important that is and I appreciate how Amber shared about it.
Amberās approach to NOT working 24/7 was a breath of fresh air. When we work that hard, we simply dilute our high-value activities - and we all know that leads to burnout and unhappiness. My audience loved that part, and so did I
~ Sarah Walton, The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Amber was a fantastic guest on the podcast. Her depth of knowledge and real-world experience in productivity made for an incredibly valuable conversation. Our listeners walked away with practical strategies they can immediately apply to improve their work lives.
~ Laura Thornton, The Business of Beautiful Spaces, Interior Design Podcast
Having Amber on That Big CEO Energy was effortless. Her conversation style and her knowledge on productivity and all things business is unmatched. Interviewing Amber felt like I was sitting right there on her couch chatting about how to make life smarter and not harder. A huge thanks to Amber for being willing to share her heart and her brain with me.
~ Kallai Plummer, That Big CEO Energy Podcast
Amber De La Garza is quite literally one of my all-time favorite guests. Without exception, each time sheās been on the show she has taught me something that Iāve taken to the three businesses that I manage and operate.
Amber consistently challenges business owners on the thinking that being busy equals being productive. One of the most insightful lessons from Amber that I, and my audience, have learned is that productivity, or lack of it, is a result of your mindset.
Amber challenges us to consider that rather than to do lists and spreadsheets, productivity is a result of how we think about time and our use of it as business owners, as the CEO's.
Her insights into the next level thinking about efficiency, productivity and creating the outcomes that drive our business forward are spot on and actionable. Every time she is on the show I receive emails of praise for her from my listeners!
I am grateful to know Amber because she has made a tremendous impact on my businesses as well as in the businesses of my listeners.
~ LuAnn Nigara, A Well Designed Business Podcast

I featured Amber as a guest on my podcast, Becoming Limitless, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. When I approached her to guest on my show, she made booking in an interview time easy and provided a unique topic idea for us to talk about with a linked blog post for me to read to understand her framework in more detail. This made it so easy to ask great questions!
Beyond giving a fantastic interview which was well received by my audience and full of practical, actionable strategies, she followed up with relevant links and images so I could prepare the episodeās social media content.
She re-shared all clips and content I posted from our episode and went above and beyond to do a 10m Instagram Live on my page to promote the episode. As an unexpected surprise, she created her own social media post to share the episode with a bonus audio clip.
Iād highly recommend Amber as a guest on your show!
