What if the “people problems” in your business aren’t actually about your team at all—but about managing humans like tasks instead of whole, complex people?

🚧 As women scale to 6 and 7+ figures, team drama, dropped balls, and underperformance can quietly become the biggest source of burnout. You’re hiring fast, expectations live half in your head, feedback feels awkward, and every tough conversation feels like it might “break” the relationship. Managing people starts to feel heavy… so you avoid it, over-function, and do more yourself.

🔑 In this episode, Dr. Leti Alto and Beyara’s Head of Business, Laurie Wintonick, break down a different way to lead: one rooted in curiosity, clarity, and truly knowing what drives your people. From the exact interview question Laurie uses to understand a hire on day one, to real scripts for hard conversations, to how she turned a resistant employee into a raving fan, this conversation gives you a practical framework for managing people with both backbone and heart.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✅ Insight #1: Why managing people is completely different from managing tasks—and how tools like DISC, “Understanding Myself,” and one powerful interview question help you really see who you’re hiring and how to lead them.

✅ Strategy #2: A step-by-step way to handle underperformance without blowing up the relationship—from setting clear, measurable expectations, to using “what” questions instead of “why,” to co-creating a 30–45 day turnaround plan that 80% of the right people can actually meet.

✅ Mindset shift #3: How to stop taking team issues personally and start seeing them as solvable patterns—using curiosity, customized communication, and what truly motivates each person (time, money, recognition, titles, flexibility) so you can build a culture where people feel seen, stay longer, and perform at a higher level.

What if the only thing between you and a wildly profitable, freedom-filled business isn’t a better strategy… but the courage to finally burn the boats?

So many high-achieving women stay in golden handcuffs—holding onto the “safe” job, undercharging, overworking, and telling themselves they’ll feel ready once they’re more confident or have more money saved. Meanwhile, their business stays stuck in the messy middle: half-built, full of potential, and quietly draining their energy.

In this conversation, Leti sits down with online business powerhouse Amy Porterfield—who’s generated over $120 million in revenue across 16 years—to talk about what it really takes to go from corporate employee to CEO, claim your desire to be rich, and build a business that runs on systems instead of stress. Amy shares how she left Tony Robbins’ company, why her first launch made just $267, how she broke through the fear of asking for “as much money as possible,” and the simple systems and structures that now support her 20-person team and 4-day workweek.

If you’ve ever wondered when to finally leave your job, how to stop building from scarcity, or what systems actually matter as you scale — this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a loving but firm nudge forward.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✅ Why courage—not confidence—is what actually gets you out of your 9–5 and into entrepreneurship (and how Amy made the leap even with tons of doubt and a “sexy” job she could’ve stayed in forever)

✅ How to shift from money shame and scarcity to true abundance—including the real stories behind Amy’s first $30K launch, her “something bad has to happen” belief, and the exact practices and support she used to rewrite her money story

✅ The simple systems that protect your time, team, and energy as you scale—from project management rules to meeting cadences and the structure that makes a 4-day workweek possible

What if “feeling stuck” isn’t failure—but the signal that your business (and you) are evolving?

When the wins slow down, problems stack up, and what used to work stops working, high-achieving founders slip into firefighting—burnout, bottlenecks, and decision fatigue—without ever stepping back to define the outcome.

In this episode, Leti reframes the messy middle as a normal season of growth and gives you a practical playbook: regulate your state first, choose the outcome before taking action, and get closer to your customer (F-O-W-T-W G-A-G-I-G-I-G-I: find out what they want, go and get it, give it to them)—with support from fresh eyes (coach/peers) and community.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
• Insight #1: Why the “messy middle” isn’t a verdict—it’s a signal to zoom out, normalize change, and design where you’re headed next.
• Strategy #2: The outcome-first reset: define the result that matters, get fresh perspective, and use customer conversations (surveys/focus groups) to realign offers.
• Mindset shift #3: The chokehold is the founder’s psychology—manage your mind and state first, then move with simple, bold actions for the next 90 days.

✅ A simple way to anchor tough seasons with your written “why” so you lead outcomes instead of blame
