The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth

Hey, listener. I just love this week's guest, and if you don't already, you will after this episode. Nicole Kerns is a small town Iowa mom known for her DIYs shared with hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers. She seemed so approachable that I got the guts to DM her and invite her on the show. I'm so thrilled to have her, and yes, she is exactly as awesome as she seems on social media.  Key...

Hi Listener!   If you've been around here awhile you have caught on that I'm not always straight laced and professional. I was getting ready to speak once and had to describe my target audience. The best I came up with was like, a teenager business, you know? You can't be a little baby business, you have to know some things.  This totally clicked and was such a great way to describe those growing...

Hey listener! I can't wait for you to fall in love with today's guest, Jill Carr. I knew she'd be a fast friend when we first connected on Instagram (with a voice memo, of course! A girl after my own heart!) After our first zoom call I knew I couldn't keep her to myself and had to invite her on the podcast.  Key Takeaways: Jill Carr helps rural women extend their voice with podcasting. She offers...

Hey listeners! This interview has been a bear to schedule but was SO worth it! We finally got our time zones aligned for Kylie Kelly to join us on The Found Podcast.   Kylie is a business coach specializing in helping moms have the maternity leave they want and maintaining a healthy balance after baby. Hosting a virtual summit helped build her social media community from scratch, and now she helps...

Hey everybody! I'm so excited for the first episode of the new year!   The 365 days ahead of us lay out like an open book. How do we do this life ahead of us? Are you, like me, visualizing what could be?   This episode focuses in on what we can be doing now to nuture our best year yet as entrepreneurs. 2022 was a great year for me, but had a lot of internal struggle. I'm excited to start 2023 in a...

Hey Listener- can you believe we reached the final episode of the year? It's a solocast after a fall chock full of interviews with amazing female guests.   I hope you enjoyed the interviews as much as I have! I hope you enjoy this episode too. I'm recapping the year: The wins, the challenges, and proposals for a new metric to evaluate our year… In ways OTHER than wins and challenges. The Wins I ch...

Listeners, I'm so pumped for this week's podcast guest.   If you're a long time listener of the show, or at least for the last year, you know that I feel so strongly about energy work. I had the opportunity to cross paths with Erin McGuire at the Empower Her Summit this year and knew I had to share her with this audience. Erin is a coach and energy healer through her business Pure Light Healing. A...

  Hey there, listener. Join me while I sit back and super fan over today's podcast guest, Whitney Sullivan. At one point I stop and suggest I pay her for a therapy session because she is just that good! We also geek out over our shared interest in (obsession with?) enneagram types and Ted Lasso.   Whitney is a motivational speaker and leadership coach based out of Bozeman, Montana. She has a great...

Hey there, listener!  This week on the podcast we have Brooke Happe of B. Happe Designs (like "Happy." What a perfect name!) I've followed her for a long time and am a big fan of her hats and RV lifestyle. When I finally got to work with her this year I knew she HAD to be a podcast guest. Brooke's story is so cool. How often do you meet product-based business owners who travel the United States in...

Hey there, listener! I'm so giddy and literally fan-girling over this week's guest, Laurel Smith of Laurel Denise.    Laurel started her creative business back in the "dinosaur days" before social media. Guys. She literally had to CODE A WEBSITE. (That stuff just boggles my brain!) Her business has had to make many pivots over the years, and she takes us through that journey in today's podcast.  ...

I started this year knowing a change or shift was coming. I found myself overcommitting by starting self-help books and courses that I haven't finished, thinking maybe THIS is the shift. I'm closing out the year feeling uneasy with all of these open loops.   My message to myself and my listeners is this: Close those loops. Imagine the loop of a roller coaster (even though I don't like roller coast...

If you don't feel like posting, to put it simply, don't. Your audience can feel the energy you bring to content creation, and you want to bring your best. It's totally okay to take time to be present in your real life, or to take a break for a season.   Do what you can to care for yourself to bring yourself up to a higher energy. Rest, connect with family, journal, etc. Instead of creating content...

Not necessarily harder, but definitely more complicated. Remember social media is just one element of a marketing strategy. I encourage you to consider six components.   Strategy: Have steps or a plan of what you want social media to accomplish for your business.   Content Creation:  I find a content calendar helpful in visualizing how to put my strategy into practice.   Management: Some folks lik...

I started this mini episode with a reflection of who I was as a junior in high school and how completely different I was a college freshman. I've grown and changed many times over, as you have too. It's normal and GOOD to change and evolve.   Social Media is going to do that too. We need to roll with the changes as social media and digital marketing evolves into "Version 2.0."   One thing that has...

I was recently in a masterclass with Melanie Ann Layer and she made a statement that has really stuck with me.   "In the beginning, before I made this transition in my life and my business, I realized I was navigating my life as a response."   We are business owners because we are leaders in our own unique way. Then our lives become a hamster wheel hustle, moving from day to day and task to task....

Welcome to our FIRST second-time-appearance guest episode! This one is super special because Andrea Mausser was my first ever guest back in 2020 when this was the Small Minded podcast. We've both grown so much in those two short years, so it is cool to catch up!   Andrea Mausser is a mindset and transformational coach through her business Choose Your Journey. It is her first year to be full-time s...

Hey listener! Welcome to another episode of the Found podcast. I'm so excited to bring Mariah of Wander Design Co to the podcast. (Although, why has it taken this long!?)   Mariah and I go back a ways to when we were put together in a breakout group at the Empower Her Summit. She's a great friend and a highly recommended Instagram follow. It MIGHT seem like I stalk her feed, but it's just so good!...

Hey listeners! Welcome back, especially to those of you with service-based businesses. In this podcast I share strategies for packaging and pricing your offers.   Ugh. Did your stomach drop? Pricing can be a vulnerable topic, and I've shared my discomfort about money conversations in the past. I'm happy to be much more confident now, and excited to share my answers to this common question. Key Tak...

Hey there and welcome to this week's episode of The Found Podcast! Today I'm chatting with my longtime social media friend and recent real-life friend, Maddie Peschong.   Maddie is a photographer turned brand photographer and coach. She's just so sweet and authentic which really comes through in this week's interview. Her advice is simple and straightforward, and she shares strategies you can appl...

Hey friends and welcome back to the Found podcast! I'm still lovin' the rebrand and hope you are too!   Today I'm talking about a newer concept, and even if you haven't heard of the exact term, you know what it is.   Thought leadership. Think about who you go to, whether in person or virtually, when you need someone to teach you something or give advice. Those people are thought leaders in their c...

This week's episode of the newly rebranded pod features my exceptional new friend, Ingela Onstad. Ingela is a high performance coach who helps professionals work through mindset issues to show up as their best selves in the public eye.    She has great insights for us to reflect on how our mindset is supports our success.  Key Takeaways Ingela is an accomplished opera singer and has travelled the...

Well, what do you think?    I'm so excited to share the podcast rebranding with my beloved listeners.   Earlier this year I was struggling to set my intention or word of the year.   Which is telling in hindsight. I eventually went with shift, which has characterized this year perfectly.   Over 100 episodes and two years later, the podcast is ready for a shift. This is NOT a big 180. It's more like...

The "call after the call" with guest Nina Gibson was so good we had to record just a little longer...plus a special secret from Molly Knuth about changes coming to the podcast!

Hey, listener.   I had the best time with my new friend Nina Gibson for this week's podcast episode and it definitely came through in the recording. Meeting Nina on Instagram was like finding my soul sister. From a commitment to helping female entrepreneurs, to being a little "woo," this girl speaks my language.   I love the way Nina speaks and how she is so open and sharing of herself. I think yo...
