Ambitious Podcast

Most business owners know they need more leads, but what actually keeps a business from scaling is usually what happens after the lead shows up. Part two of the ecosystem series picks up right where part one left off and covers the last two pillars of the framework Kate uses to build and scale seven and multiple seven-figure businesses: Convert and Scale.   Under Convert, Kate breaks down three ou...

If you’ve invested in coach after coach, course after course, and your business still isn’t scaling, the problem might not be what you think it is. You’ve probably been given micro direction for a macro problem.   In part one of this two-part series, Kate breaks down the ecosystem, the exact business model behind her multiple seven-figure business and the framework she uses with clients scaling to...

The ceiling in your business is almost never a strategy problem. It’s an internal one. And today’s guest, Liv, has built an entire body of work around proving exactly that with women scaling from multiple six figures all the way to nine.   In this episode Liv and Kate break down the three invisible weights that quietly cap your growth before you ever notice them: meaning weight, future weight, and...

This is the conversation Kate has most often behind closed doors with women in business, and the one almost nobody is having publicly. Because naming it feels disloyal. But if you’ve ever felt like the person sitting across from you at dinner is quietly the ceiling on everything you’re trying to build, this episode is for you.   Kate breaks down the three dynamics that show up most when a partner...

You’ve felt it. The content that used to work isn’t working the same way anymore, and nobody has given you a straight answer on why or what to do instead. This episode is that answer.   Kate breaks down exactly how online content and marketing changed, why educational content as we knew it is no longer the strategy, and what’s actually winning right now. We cover the shift from follower-based to i...

$6.3 million per minute. That is how much money is being spent during Black Friday. Not per hour. Per minute. And if your business isn't intentionally positioning itself to be one of the options your ideal client is already planning to spend on, you are quite literally leaving money on the table every single November.   This episode is the full Black Friday playbook and it's one Kate runs...

If you've been posting consistently, showing up on stories, putting in the reps, and still feel like your content is going nowhere, this episode is going to be the most useful thing you listen to this month. Not because it tells you what to post. Because it tells you what job every piece of your content is supposed to be doing, and why your marketing is probably missing half of them.   Kate th...

You might have a premium price. You might even have premium results. But if the people closing into your offers are draining your energy, questioning every boundary, and expecting more than they paid for, you don't have premium buyers. And that's not a leads problem. It's a positioning problem.   This episode is the one Kate pulls out when someone tells her they want to level up their...

You refined the script. You adjusted the wording. You practiced the objection handles. And they still didn't close. If that sounds familiar, this episode is going to change the way you think about sales completely.   The script is not the problem. It was never the problem. What's happening on your calls that has nothing to do with what you're saying is what's costing you the close....

You know who she is. The future version of you. You can see how she runs her mornings, how she responds to problems, how she shows up in her business. You've pictured her. You've journaled about her. You've told yourself you're becoming her. And then the alarm goes off, or the client messages, or the brownie is sitting right there, and you choose the old version again. And you have...

You still love your business. You're not ready to walk away from it. But somewhere between where you started and where you are now, it stopped being fun. The milestones barely register. The creativity feels forced. Your body is exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix. And the version of you that used to wake up fired up feels like a different person.   This episode is for the entrepreneu...

More people on payroll. More expenses going out. And somehow, you're still working the same hours you were before any of them existed. If that's where you are right now, this episode is the one that finally explains why.   The problem isn't that you hired the wrong people or that you need a better project management tool. The problem is that you delegated tasks but kept all the respons...

You didn't sign up to post your morning coffee. You didn't sign up to document every corner of your house or have strangers know your dog's name. And if building a personal brand means becoming an influencer, you want no part of it. The problem is that's not what a personal brand actually is, and this episode is here to clear that up once and for all.   Kate has been in this indust...

Something has shifted, and you've felt it. Getting leads, warming them, converting them - it all feels harder than it did a few years ago. This episode is the explanation you've been waiting for, and more importantly, the update your business model probably needs.   The funnel you built in 2021 is not the funnel that works in 2026. The market is more saturated, buyers are more skeptical, a...

Same numbers as last week. Same as the week before. You're doing everything right, and nothing is moving. That's a plateau. And the plateau itself isn't the real problem. The voice that shows up next to it, the one that says this is permanent, that you've peaked, that whatever you had is gone, that's the problem.   This episode is the resource Kate comes back to herself, and th...

Nobody posts the messy middle of planning a business around a baby. You see the pregnancy announcement. You see her back at her desk a few months later. What happens in between, the finances, the team, the client conversations, the fear that the whole thing falls apart the moment you step back, that part nobody talks about. Until now.   This episode is for the woman who wants to have a family and...

Comfort is not lazy. It's actually one of the most sophisticated opponents you're going to face in business. It comes to the table with logical arguments, reasonable timelines, and a really convincing case for why now is not the right time. And if you're not paying close attention, you'll lose to it every single round without ever realizing you were in a negotiation at all.   Today...

Nobody hands you a manual for this. There's no parent to call when a client ghosts an invoice, no older sibling who's been through a slow month in their own business, no family member who can tell you what it actually feels like to be the one holding the contract. When you're the first entrepreneur in your family, and especially the first woman, you are the roadmap. You're not foll...

Getting dressed every morning shouldn't feel like a problem to solve. But for a lot of women, it does. The same ten pieces on rotation, the Pinterest boards full of outfits that never translate, the pile on the floor before a night out. Today's guest is personal stylist Jamie Lewis, and this episode is everything you didn't know you needed to hear about style.   What makes this convers...

You have results. Real ones. Clients hitting milestones, sending voice notes, sharing wins you genuinely didn't expect. And yet somehow, when it comes to marketing that proof, it either feels like you've already used it, like you're repeating yourself, or like every post looks exactly the same as everyone else's before and after. Today's episode is the masterclass on fixing tha...

What does it actually look like to build a nine-figure brand from a moment of total financial collapse, a herd of borrowed goats, and the decision to never walk away? Today's guest is Brent Ridge, co-founder of Beekman 1802, and this conversation is one of those episodes that will genuinely stay with you.   Brent's story starts in 2008. He and his partner Josh had just lost their careers i...

You want sales coming in while you sleep. You want to stop feeling like the second you step away, the revenue stops too. That desire makes complete sense, but there's a reason so many entrepreneurs spend a year chasing passive income only to end up more exhausted, more confused, and no closer to the freedom they were after.   Today's episode is the conversation the passive income space isn...

Eight years in this industry, and the one thing that's never changed? Everyone online has an opinion and they're saying it like it's law.   High ticket is the only way to scale. No, passive income is the move. Master organic before you touch ads. Ads are a waste when you're small. Charge your worth. Batch your content. Outsource your zone of genius. The bold, all-or-nothing takes a...

Your discovery calls aren't failing you, they're talking to you. The no-shows, the reschedulers, the people who ghost halfway through the application, the calls that feel great but never close, every single one of those is a signal. Most people just don't know how to read it.   That's what today's episode is about. Not a generic sales pep talk, but a real front-to-back breakdow...

Save this one. Seriously. Bookmark it, download it, do whatever you need to do so that the next time you're sitting in the feeling of I can't keep going , you can come back here.  Because that day is coming. Maybe it already came this week. The moment where you question whether you're cut out for this, whether it's ever going to work, whether the smartest thing you could do is just...
