  • Building a Legacy of Human Connection | Jennifer Prendergast

    Building a Legacy of Human Connection | Jennifer Prendergast
    2026/11/10

    Jennifer Prendergast was working in the travel industry when COVID wiped out a major job opportunity. A small side hustle became The Expert Talk, where she now helps organizations understand how nervous-system states shape behavior, relationships, and the way people work together.

    In this Legacy series conversation, Jennifer shares why legacy isn’t only the big work we put into the world. It’s also the imprint we leave in everyday interactions: a moment of kindness, a steadier response, or a conversation that changes how someone understands a colleague or family member. She and host Kandas Rodarte explore how self-awareness and small intentional shifts can ripple outward into stronger connection and trust.

    "When we are choosing the way that we show up as much as possible, then we are actively intentionally putting out imprints that are in alignment with who we are and what our values are." - Jennifer Prendergast

    They also talk about online anger, doom scrolling, social media algorithms, and the challenge of finding healthier ways to handle stress. Jennifer explains why changing a behavior can affect your relationships—and why gratitude and noticing small moments of joy can help shift how you feel and show up.

    What You’ll Learn
    • Why Jennifer sees legacy as the imprint we leave on the people we meet
    • How noticing your nervous-system state can help you pause and choose a response instead of reacting
    • What may be happening beneath online hostility—and why understanding it doesn’t excuse harmful behavior
    • How social media feeds can reinforce anger and keep us scrolling
    • Why changing your habits may shift your relationships, and how to make room for the grief that can come with that
    • How gratitude, “twinkles,” and small moments of appreciation can help you feel and share more joy
    • Why Jennifer sees safety, belonging, and connection as foundations for workplace productivity
    About Jennifer Prendergast

    Jennifer Prendergast is the founder of The Expert Talk. After a career in the travel industry was upended by the pandemic, she turned a side hustle into a business helping people and organizations better understand human behavior, nervous-system responses, and connection at work.

  • Second-Act Business Goals for Women Over 50 | Liz Scully

    Second-Act Business Goals for Women Over 50 | Liz Scully
    2026/11/03

    Most of us set business goals that fit neatly into a spreadsheet. Liz Scully thinks women in midlife and beyond can do much more with the wisdom we’ve built, and she makes a strong case for dreaming bigger. This conversation covers second-act ambition, legacy planning, and the practical steps that protect your business and the people you love.

    That matters because many solopreneurs are the only person who knows where the passwords, accounts, and client details live. If something happens to you, your family inherits the mess. Planning for that now is one of the kindest things you can do, and it frees you up to think about what you want to build next.

    Liz is a good person to guide this talk. She spent 20 years on big Hollywood films, won an Emmy, and now works as a business strategist and Mastermind evangelist. She hosts The Biz Book Broadcast and helps entrepreneurs simplify their business models. She also went through a year of probate, bank hurdles, and UK inheritance taxes after her sister, a practicing attorney, died without a will.

    What You’ll Learn
    • Why a will, your device passcodes, and your bank directives should live together in one place
    • What to include in a business continuity plan for a one-person company
    • How to set second-act goals that make you glow, not just goals that hit an income target
    • Why a personal “Real Liz” email to new subscribers can beat automation alone
    • How to reverse-engineer a big legacy dream into small, doable stepping stones
    • What classic children’s books and cookbooks can teach you about your offers and opt-in culture

  • How to Restart Your Business After Breast Cancer

    How to Restart Your Business After Breast Cancer
    2026/10/27
    Seven breast cancer survivors share how to restart your business after breast cancer, from setting boundaries and rewriting limiting beliefs to building a support team that lets you step back from running everything yourself. Host Kandas Rodarte, who has lived with metastatic breast cancer since 2014, explains why gratitude and community are practical business strategies for women rebuilding after a major life disruption.This episode contains some strong language.If you’re a woman solopreneur trying to restart your business after breast cancer, this episode gives you practical ideas from women who’ve done it. They talk about who’s really in charge of your journey, how to say no without guilt, why your body is your best teacher, and how to protect your time and energy while you rebuild.This matters because most business advice assumes you have unlimited energy and a clear calendar. These guests built or rebuilt their businesses around treatment, recovery, and real life, and each one brings something you can use this week. Several of them also have strong views on why nobody should rebuild alone.What You'll Hear:You’re the person in charge of your journey. Get opinions from your doctors, skip Dr. Google, and give the people around you grace when they react in unexpected ways.Beliefs you inherited aren’t more true than the ones you choose now. Merit Kahn shows how to look at the beliefs running your business and decide which ones stay.“No” is a complete sentence. Say it without guilt, listen to what your body tells you, and put rest and the things you love on your calendar.Time blocking protects your energy. Pick your interview days, your no-meeting days, and your treatment days, then build your business around them instead of squeezing your health in around it.Nobody should rebuild alone. Hiring a number two, leaning on a home team and a work team, and finding your own community can make the business better, not just survivable.Meet the guestsDeb Krier is the founder of Wise Women Communications, host of The Business Power Hour, and creator of TryingNotToDie.LIVE.Merit Kahn is a keynote speaker, stand-up comedian, and BRCA1 previvor who tours her one-woman show, Optimistic Personality Disorder.Deb Davis is a commercial photographer, founder of Detroit City Headshots, and author of The Faces of Transparency.Jenny C.
