Three words stopped time.

“Mom, I’m gay.”

That moment cracked Heather Hester’s world wide open — and from the mess came a movement.

In this raw, electric conversation, Heather shares how she transformed fear into advocacy, pain into purpose, and compassion into a system that actually scales.

We talk about:

• What really happens when your brand is born from heartbreak
• The myth of “nice” versus the strategy of kind
• How to operationalize empathy without losing authority
• Why the best leadership lessons often start at home

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay soft in a hard world — or how to build something real after everything breaks — this episode will hit you straight in the gut (in the best way).

Sometimes, the safe path just stops working—and that’s where this conversation begins.

In this Redux replay with Kaine Pointin, we revisit his timeless advice on building a high-ticket business rooted in alignment, not burnout. Kaine breaks down why charging premium prices, working only with people you love, and capturing testimonials aren’t just tactics—they’re the foundations of freedom.

If you’ve ever wrestled with pricing your offers, filtering clients, or finding the courage to say “no” to misaligned work, this conversation hits like a truth bomb you didn’t know you needed.

📝 Show Notes

Welcome back to the Table Rush Talk Show! Today we’re bringing you a Redux replay of my conversation with Kaine Pointin—a high-ticket strategist from Oxford with a simple but powerful ethos: overdeliver, charge what you’re worth, and only work with people you truly like.

In this interview, Kaine shares:

The three non-negotiables he teaches every high-ticket entrepreneur.

1. How to reframe pricing so you stop underselling yourself.
2. Why values alignment matters more than volume in client selection.
3. The power of testimonials and case studies in dissolving objections.

This isn’t just about sales—it’s about creating a business that feels good, sustains you, and attracts the right clients.
