The Jackie Serviss Show

This episode explores the parallels between two of my favorite things: Seeing the world and building a business. I recorded it after a three-week family vacation to England and Sweden, one of many trips we’ve taken over the years. Travel is a big part of my identity, and I absolutely love it for its own sake. That said, I’m struck by how many aspects of it actually help me be a more effective, res...

In this episode, I chat with Lukas Hermann, an inspiring entrepreneur from the fascinating Software as a Service (SaaS) world. He’s the creator of numerous digital products, including the ingenious Stage Timer, a web-based timer app that supports stage presentations, events, and live streams with synchronization between devices. I first got to know Lukas on Twitter, where he has a powerful presenc...

In today’s brief episode, I lay out one of the most common limiting beliefs I see founders and entrepreneurs make. Limiting beliefs aren’t always about a lack of faith in our own abilities. Sometimes, we place limitations on others, especially when it comes to our company. When your business is your baby, it’s easy to slip into the mindset that no one can do things as well as you. But when we insi...

Join me in today’s episode, where I chat with two incredible mergers and acquisition attorneys, Omeed Tabiei & Joe Prencipe. Founders of Optimist Legal, this powerhouse duo is redefining law in the Software as a Service (SAAS) space. Don’t look to these two for stodgy advice from people who don’t get business (which is often the case in the legal field). Not only are they highly successful law...

In today’s episode, we get real about leadership. Heading a business is not a static role. To retain top talent and nurture the performance you want from your team, you have to be honest with yourself about how you lead. This means asking a few questions: Are you making assumptions about what your team knows? Have you ensured your team has crystal clarity about their roles? Are you investing in yo...

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with the founder of the COO Alliance, Cameron Herold.

There is so much I loved about our conversatio...

Happy New Year! In today’s episode, I share my thoughts on how to start the new year off in the best way possible. Here’s a hint: It doesn’t involve resolutions. Instead, I invite you to consider what rituals will best set you up for success, including the ritual of self-investment. As a new chapter begins, you’ll inevitably see as many self or business development courses and offerings as you see...

In this episode, I cover how to make the most of the beautiful stillness between Christmas and New Year's. This magical time of the year is often one of the few chances we get to take a sacred pause. It’s the perfect time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going. I offer you an alternative way to approach the changes you want to see in the new year. Rather than adopting rigid reso...

In today’s episode, I talk about how your biggest strength is also your Achilles heel. One of the biggest tendencies I see in founders is defaulting to their area of expertise when they’re scaling, need to support a client in a custom way, or hit a growth edge. For me, it's recruiting — I'm really good at connecting the dots between people and companies. I know I can rely on those skills...

Does your mission play a role when hiring talent? It should. In this episode, we talk about why what you stand for matters more than you might think in recruiting.

Welcome back to the Jackie Serviss show. In this episode, we’re going beyond business and getting a little vulnerable.

What is your current approach to hiring new talent? Like most leaders, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about hiring new talent until you need new talent. Hiring is a rather reactive part of business for many leaders. In this solo episode I am going to explain why it’s important to take a proactive approach to hiring. It’s important to always be hiring. “Always hiring” doesn’t mean inte...

Join me as I chat with Laura Sinclair about reinventing yourself in the entrepreneurial space.
