I’ve had the privilege of knowing Dr. Courtney Beck for years—we earned our PhDs together at Florida State University—and I can say with absolute certainty that she is one of the most inspiring, kind-hearted, and driven individuals I’ve ever met.
Courtney brings a rare blend of authenticity, energy, and vision to everything she does—whether she’s teaching in the classroom, leading a podcast, mentoring others, or building her business Plenty of Positivity. As the host of the Plenty of Positivity podcast, Courtney has created a truly uplifting platform that celebrates community, connection, and the power of storytelling. I was honored to be a guest on the show and saw firsthand how intentional and thoughtful she is about highlighting meaningful conversations that spark joy, hope, and action.
Her background as an elite-level gymnast and NCAA All-American speaks to her work ethic and perseverance, and her transition into academia and entrepreneurship reflects her versatility and passion for helping others grow. Courtney’s mission to build a more positive world is not just a tagline—it’s something she lives and breathes every day.
If you’re looking to connect with someone who will inspire you, support you, and remind you of the good in the world, Courtney is that person. I’m proud to call her a colleague and a friend.
