Of the businesses that fail each year, it’s said that 90% of those fail due to lack of preparation.  That means that creating predictable results for your future starts with knowing where you’re going.  I always say if you want a million dollar business then you have to treat it like one long before it becomes one. In this episode I lay out what happens in the lifecycle of a business and dive deep...

In today’s episode I’m joined by Kristine Munro, founder of Illume Collective and host of Pivot to Passion podcast.  We had a very open conversation about success and it’s capacity to either fulfill or deplete us.  Like me, Kristine, built a 7-figure business, had all the awards but knew something was missing.  And one day she made the bold decision to burn it all to the ground and start over. We...

If you picked the path of entrepreneurship then you know it’s incredible to have the freedom and flexibility of that path but it’s also lined with so much uncertainty.  We can find ourselves in a storm when we least expect it.  I’ve been through the storms too.  In fact, 2022 held some of my hardest lessons in business but now I can see I was being built for something and so are you.  Check out to...

I’m back with another episode and this one felt so scary to record that I almost didn’t.  Today I’m sharing the most authentic and unedited version of me you’ve ever heard before.  I talk so much about the masculine approach to business building but there’s so much more to the success I’ve had. Equally as important to the strategy is the inner work and this is something I’ve made a practice but ea...

What’s fueling you to show up each day in your business and life?   I’m tackling this topic today because I feel like so many think that their purpose can’t evolve and for that reason they stay stuck in businesses or jobs that they don't love anymore. You are evolving as a person and that means your purpose and passion can evolve too.   In today’s episode: I’m giving a life update I’m talking...

Most people run into a new year with an arsenal of resolutions only to abandon them by the end of January.  That’s why I’m not a big fan of resolutions which often rely on willpower and checking things off of a list.  In 2019 I started the practice of choosing a word of the year and it’s been life giving AND game changing. In today’s episode: I’m explaining the powerful shift that happens when we...

One of the sneakiest little blindspots for me as a new entrepreneur back in 2008 was operating with a very wounded money mindset.  I didn’t realize at the time how I had been conditioned and influenced by others while growing to think that making and holding onto money was difficult, perhaps even impossible. Today I’m joined by Bri Firestone, the founder of The School of Betty, and we are getting...

Let’s be real, many of us get into entrepreneurship because we have a passion for the service, offer, people or product we provide.  Rarely, is it because we love the art of organization, financials and business management so it’s no surprise that a majority of the small business owners I talk to are still just winging it when it comes to annual or quarterly planning. Today my guest Amanda Wicker-...

Excited to have special guest Emily Barnard from Emily + Her Stars with us today to talk about how to use energetics in our business.  There was a time that masculine strategies along with a lot of hustle rules my world but over the past 4 years I’ve really softened and expanded my mind into playing with other ways of running a business.
