  • The Most Underrated Superpower Every Business Owner Needs
    2026/08/31
    When I was growing up, my grandfather used to tell me, "Theresa, you ask too many questions." I was always curious—about his life, his experiences, how things worked, and why people did things the way they did. What I didn't realize then was that all those questions were helping me develop one of the most valuable skills I've carried into business. Curiosity became especially important when I started working in the scientific world. I had failed every science class I'd ever taken, yet suddenly I was talking to cancer researchers about highly technical equipment and experiments. I didn't know everything—but I knew how to ask questions. I got curious about how things worked, why they mattered, and what impact they could have. That curiosity eventually helped me move into leadership, build my first business, build my consulting business, and help hundreds of founders understand how their businesses actually work. In this episode, I'm breaking down why curiosity is such an underrated business skill and the three questions I want every business owner to keep asking: How does this work? How can I make it better? And what impact do I ultimately want to make? Because whether your business is growing like crazy or you're facing hurdle after hurdle, curiosity gives you a way forward. Instead of assuming you know the answer, you start asking better questions—and that's where growth begins. Stay curious. It may be one of the most valuable things you bring to your business. Key Takeaways: • Curiosity is an incredibly powerful—and often overlooked—skill for business owners. • You don't have to know everything before you can figure something out. • Asking better questions can help you quickly build knowledge in unfamiliar industries. • Understanding how something works gives you the foundation for improving it. • When something isn't working, curiosity helps you investigate instead of immediately giving up. • Don't blindly copy competitors' pricing, processes, or decisions without understanding the thinking behind them. • Business numbers tell a story, but you have to be curious enough to understand what that story actually means. • Look beyond vanity metrics like likes, clicks, impressions, and top-line revenue. • Stay curious about how you can make the business better for yourself, your team, and your customers. • Most importantly, stay curious about the impact you want your business to make.

  • You Can Be Powerful and Unfinished
    2026/08/17
    There are seasons in life when everything you thought was secure suddenly starts falling apart. That's part of what I wanted to explore when I invited my dear friend Denise Soler Cox back to the show. Denise and I met back in 2017, and I've had a front-row seat to so much of her journey. She's a storyteller, filmmaker, speaker, coach, and now the author of What Will They Say? While writing the book, Denise was also living through one of the most financially difficult seasons of her life. More than $200,000 in business disappeared, her family had to leave the home they had lived in for years, and they moved into an 800-square-foot basement apartment. And yet, in the middle of all of it, Denise had a realization that became one of the most powerful ideas in her book: "I can be powerful and unfinished." We talk about what it means to hold both truths at once. You can be struggling, angry, grieving, or uncertain and still be powerful. You can be a work in progress without being broken. We also go much deeper, talking about the shields we build to protect ourselves, the ways we can unknowingly tie our worth to other people's happiness, and what happens when we finally stop protecting ourselves and allow ourselves to be seen. Denise shares the deeply personal story behind the hardest chapter of her book and what she learned about forgiveness, motherhood, healing, and the legacy she wants to leave for her daughters. Because maybe our legacy isn't about how much we accomplish or how much we can endure. Maybe it's about how deeply we're willing to live while we're still becoming. Key Takeaways: • You can be powerful and unfinished at the same time. • Difficult seasons don't mean you're broken. • We often don't realize the shields we've built around ourselves. • Your worth isn't determined by how much you can endure. • You can accept your past without allowing it to define your future. • Authenticity requires letting yourself be seen. • Sometimes you have to create more than you ultimately use. • Your legacy is about who you are and who you help others become.

If something in this conversation hit you, don't brush it off. Maybe it's the idea that you can be powerful and unfinished. Maybe it's realizing you've been protecting yourself without even knowing it. Or maybe you're beginning to think differently about your own worth and legacy. Whatever it is, sit with it.

A sought-after voice on culture, identity, and belonging, Denise has spoken on 400+ stages including two TEDx talks and SXSW 2026. She has partnered with Ralph Lauren, Amazon, Microsoft, and L'Oréal, among others.

  • The Mindset Shift That Changes How You Lead Your Business
    2026/08/10
    I was frustrated. I had already meditated and journaled, but somehow, I still ended up doom scrolling through social media, comparing myself to everyone else and feeling like everything was harder than it needed to be. Then I read something about abundance that made me look at it differently. What if abundance isn't about how much money, customers, or success we can get? What if it's a lens we use to see what's possible? In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between looking at your business through a judgment lens and looking at it through an abundance lens. We'll talk about comparison, fear, creating instead of consuming, and why Main Street businesses have a unique opportunity to do things differently. Because sometimes you don't need another strategy. You just need to ask, "What's another way?" Key Takeaways: • Abundance is a lens, not a destination. It's less about what you have and more about what you see. • Comparison creates a lens of lack. Constantly looking at what everyone else is doing can make you believe you're already behind. • Fear can turn opinions into perceived facts. When you repeatedly hear that businesses can't be profitable, your brain can begin treating that belief as reality. • Small businesses have an incredible advantage. They can often move faster, experiment more freely, and create deeper personal connections. • You don't have to follow your industry's norm. Just because other businesses operate a certain way doesn't mean you have to. • Create more than you consume. More software, advice, articles, and trends don't necessarily create better results. Action does. • Look for your next best step. You don't have to solve everything today. Find one meaningful thing you can create or change. • Celebrate the micro wins. Small victories are evidence that things can move when you take action. • Place your attention on what's possible. What you consistently focus on influences the decisions and actions you take. • There's always another way to look at the situation. Shifting the lens can change how you lead, how you respond, and what you create.
