• #263: Direct Communication (Business Genius, Chapter 7)
    2025/12/09

    I'm sharing a powerful, eye-opening moment from a therapy session that totally flipped how I saw myself as a leader and a business owner. Spoiler: People-pleasing isn’t a virtue—it’s actually selfish. 😳

    Join me as I dive into the tough truth behind avoiding direct communication and how letting things slide to keep the peace can cost you more than you realize. From a very fake employee named Tabitha to some hard-hitting lessons on leadership, this episode is packed with insights that will change how you lead and how you run your business. If you’ve ever struggled with conflict or keeping everyone happy, this one’s for you.

    Tune in, and let’s talk about why being a “good person” might be holding you back from being a great leader.

  • #262: Time Management (Business Genius, Chapter 5)
    2025/12/02

    I'm revealing the surprising truth behind why so many entrepreneurs struggle with their finances—and how a simple weekly routine can completely transform their bottom line.

    In this episode, I break down my Money Mondays framework and explain why true money management actually begins with time management. You’ll hear how one client, Cat, turned around a do-or-die financial situation, reconsolidated her debt, and freed up $10,000 a month—all by committing to consistent systems and disciplined time habits.

    If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or frustrated with your cash flow, this episode will show you the foundational rhythm that can help you regain clarity, control, and profit. Tune in and discover why managing your time is the first step to managing your money.

  • #261: Learn and Execute (Business Genius, Chapter 3)
    2025/11/25

    In today’s episode, I’m showcasing the third chapter of my newest book, Business Genius. Let's talk about one of the biggest differences I see in entrepreneurs: the gap between learning and executing. Most people who come to me genuinely love learning—they’ve read my books, listened to my podcast, and they’re hungry for growth. But loving to learn isn’t enough. Real transformation happens when we take what we learn and actually do something with it.

    To show you what that looks like, I share the story of my friend Dianuh, a talented entrepreneur I met in a mastermind group. She built an incredible live-art business from the ground up. Every time she came to our group, she brought thoughtful questions, soaked up the feedback, and—most importantly—went home and implemented it. At our next meeting, she always had results to share. Her willingness to act on what she learned is exactly why her business took off.

    And that’s the key difference: some people learn to create change, and others learn simply to feel productive. The first group asks, implements, evaluates, and repeats. The second jumps from expert to expert, gathering information but never putting in the real work. They stay stuck, even though they feel busy.

    I’ve been there myself. A coach once told me, “It’s time to stop asking questions and start executing on what you already know.” And they were right—I needed an information diet. No more new content until I took action.

    So if you’re constantly consuming but not progressing, it might be time for your own information diet too. Because if you want to be a business genius, you can’t just learn—you have to do. The winners in business aren’t just listeners. They’re doers.

  • #260: Commitment Versus Interest (Business Genius, Chapter 2)
    2025/11/18

    Let's dive into the second chapter of my newest book, Business Genius!

    In the chapter, I share how I went from refusing workouts longer than 45 minutes to crossing the finish line of my first Ironman in 12:47:16. My transformation wasn’t about suddenly becoming interested in endurance sports—it was about commitment, surrounding myself with the right coach, investing in the right equipment, and showing up even when it was uncomfortable.

    I connect that journey to entrepreneurship. So many business owners pour everything into their business—money, time, energy—yet stop short of success by cutting corners: DIY bookkeeping, avoiding experts, skipping hard conversations, and chasing vanity metrics. It’s like training for an Ironman but only doing 90% of the workouts: enough to be miserable, not enough to finish.

    My message is simple: stop playing business and fully commit. Go all in, invest in what matters, face the hard stuff, and set yourself up to succeed. If you’re ready to commit, I’m ready to walk you through the steps that lead to real results.
