You’ve probably heard it before: “You need to build a platform to grow your business.”

But most people misunderstand what that really means. It’s not just a podcast or a social feed, it’s an aligned ecosystem that works together to grow your business without draining your energy.

Too often, “platform” gets mistaken for social media followers. But real influence isn’t built on rented land. In this episode, Samantha and Leon break down what it really means to own your platform and why that ownership matters for your visibility, credibility, and cash flow.

If your content feels like it’s disappearing into the void, or your audience isn’t converting the way it should, this is the strategic reset you didn’t know you needed. You’ll learn how content turns into currency, how to rebuild trust in a noisy market, and how to create an ecosystem that positions you as the no-brainer choice.

Your platform isn’t just where you show up. It’s the engine behind your influence—and the sooner you take ownership of it, the faster your business scales

What do you do when everything looks like it's working, but deep down something feels a little off?

In this episode Samantha and Leon peel back the curtain on why they’ve rebranded the podcast again, and what this shift to Business Growth Lab really means for business owners, coaches, and visionary leaders navigating a fast-evolving world.

With ten years of podcasting experience and over three decades of business growth behind the scenes, they unpack the subtleties of misalignment in business, why sticking to “successful” things can be quietly destructive, and how to listen for the soft whispers of change before they become screams.

This isn’t just a name change. It’s a go-ahead for leaders who’ve outgrown their old versions, and want to grow something more aligned, more scalable, and a hell of a lot more you.

Your cash flow isn't just about paying the bills. It's the fuel for building the life, the business, and the impact you've always wanted.

Today’s conversation with Chris Miles will shift everything you thought you knew about financial freedom.

This episode isn’t just about money. It’s about unlocking the life you were meant to live. Chris shows you how your business can be the launchpad for freedom, not another version of the rat race.

If sales leave you doubting yourself, second-guessing your words, or feeling like you’re putting on a performance, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode with Jim Padilla, we unpack the exact shifts that turn awkward, hesitant conversations into confident, clear, and aligned sales that actually feel good for everyone involved.

We cover the psychology of objections, why sales scripts are usually a band-aid over a self-trust wound, and how to stop counting on ‘magic’ and start building systems that sell without you needing to turn into a dancing unicorn every time.

This episode is pure gold for coaches, consultants, and business owners ready to scale sustainably without sacrificing their integrity or their sanity.

If you’re ready to scale with soul, lead sales calls with confidence, and finally move from hustle to flow, this one’s for you. Jim Padilla doesn’t just drop wisdom. He generously throws down clarity like confetti.

Listen in, take notes, and get ready to sell like the pro you already are.

If your days feel like one long game of whack-a-mole, this one’s for you.

In this episode snippet, Samantha Riley and Leon Flitton break down the time management matrix in a way that’s as real as it is refreshing. From dodging other people’s “emergencies” to escaping the soul-sucking scroll hole, they’ll show you how to stop operating in lastminute dot com mode and reclaim your time like a CEO.

They share why quadrant two (important but not urgent) is the sweet spot, what to avoid in the other three, and how they’ve ditched the rigid morning routine for a workday that actually works.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• What last minute dot com really means and how to escape it
• The magic of quadrant two and why it’s where real growth happens
• The procrastination trap: how to avoid getting sucked into time-wasting tasks
• Why your ‘productive hours’ matter more than your morning routine
• The one-question shift that made their to-do list 10x more effective
• How celebrating small wins creates big momentum in your day

Your voice has the power to reach the people you’re meant to help, but only if you give it a platform that works, even while you sleep.

In this episode, Samantha sits down with Hall of Fame podcaster Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting, to break down the real reason coaches need a podcast. And no, it’s not because everyone else has one.

We talk about how your podcast educates your audience, how it shortens the sales cycle, and why creating an audio relationship builds trust faster than any marketing funnel ever could.

You'll walk away knowing when to start, how to keep going, and what podcasting can actually do for your coaching business.

If you’re tired of feeling invisible in a crowded coaching space, your voice might just be your biggest untapped asset.
