We Welcome Wonderful Children's Author, Bracha Goetz!

Welcome to BizVox on the Electric Secrets Variety Podcast, where veteran actor-director Scott Leon Smith steps off the stage and straight into the world of small businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits to build knowledge, spur productivity, and share a few laughs along the way.

In this larger-than-life episode, Scott welcomes Bracha Goetz, prolific author of nearly 50 illustrated children's books packed with important spiritual and life messages that help kids grow into happier, more resilient humans. Through her family-powered Growing IMPACT Publications (IMPACT = Important Messages for Parents And Children Together), Bracha turns heartfelt ideas into stories that live their unique life in the hearts of young readers everywhere!

What you'll hear in this episode:

• The delightful origin of IMPACT Publications and books like The Happiness Box, where a simple cardboard box becomes a powerful tool for teaching children to find joy within themselves, rewire their brains for gratitude, and develop essential happiness skills early—so they never have to play catch-up as adults.
• Bracha's inspiring author journey: from scribbling stories in a notebook while her young children played outside in Israel to landing her first publisher acceptance in just weeks, then teaming up with her family to launch their own publishing house on her 40th book and keep creative control, royalties, and impact where they belong.
• Golden, no-nonsense advice for entrepreneurs and creators on branding, consistency, and promotion: why doing what you truly enjoy (podcasts, school visits, one-on-one connections!) prevents burnout, how to divide tasks by passion within your team, turn every "no" or challenge into valuable feedback, and fill the internet with meaningful content that genuinely changes lives.

Whether you're a small business owner, aspiring author, parent, or creative ready to make your own powerful impact, this episode resonates with passionate craft, authenticity, rhythm, and human connection

Scott and Bracha's conversation is packed with practical wisdom, playful storytelling magic, and that unmistakable spirit that turns important messages into unforgettable experiences.
