Bold Business Podcast

Imagine being able to achieve anything you set your mind to, not because you have more hours in the day but because you use the ones you have more effectively. That's what this It's Your Business program covers.

We all experience moments of stress and unproductivity, but these can be significantly reduced, or even eliminated, when you transform your relationship with time. By understanding what you can truly control and reframing the pressures around productivity, you can revolutionize the way you use your time. This could mean saving time, finding time, or even manipulating time by making strategic decisions within its constraints.

In this program, you will hear about the true cost of poor time management, learn strategies to enhance your effectiveness by embracing constraints and discover the untapped creativity that can be unleashed by reframing your perspective of time.

Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting; Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors; and your host Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction, discuss accountability and how consistent action is THE factor in achieving your biggest goals.

Forget viral. Forget overnight success. Forget shortcuts. Are you willing to live in a tent to chase your dreams?

The startup failure rate is staggering. A fundamental quality for success is the readiness to acknowledge and embrace your weaknesses as you shape your vision, build a team, and engage in the right work. Curiosity and, importantly, clear communication are also vital to this process. Even when it feels like you're repeating yourself, it's crucial to find the mantra for your vision, ensuring others understand and join you on your journey.

In this episode, you will hear details about what is really in your control, how life is a pitch, and that even when surrounded by ambiguity, you must take the next step.

Jess Dewell candidly talks with Robert Herr, CEO of The Empower Project, about his insights on passion, determination, and the hidden costs of building a business and achieving one's dreams.

Trusting yourself in the present moment may seem simple, but it's easier said than done. The expectations surrounding how we use our time slow us down, making it difficult to tap into our creativity and innovation.

While mindfulness in business is a popular concept, we aim to take it further by advocating for a more comprehensive approach. This involves setting yourself up for success by integrating mindfulness into your daily routine and tapping into your inner creativity.

To do this, it's important to shift your thinking away from current thoughts about mindfulness in business. Instead, focus on how mindfulness can make your work more fulfilling and enjoyable and how your challenges are worth the effort. Doing so can unleash your full potential and achieve greater success in all aspects of your life.

In this program, you will learn questions to ask, experiments to gather information, and how to shift the lens you use to assess challenges. Trusting yourself begins with creating and protecting your environment — inside and outside yourself. As you tune in, think about your traits — focus primarily on the ones you may see as weaknesses, and figure out how these characteristics are actually your strengths. Innovation from the inside allows new and different ways of working to emerge.

Jess Dewell facilitates a BOLD discussion about how to change our relationship with time to be more creative in business and the connection between mindfulness and creativity with Catherine Morgan, President at Point A to Point B Transitions, Claire Uncapher, Clinical Nurse and Intuitive Life Coach, and Dr. Janice Campbell, Acupuncturist and Herbalist.

With a slight shift in thinking, you can become an even more global citizen. Since technology connects us more than ever, it is easier to think beyond our local community, take ethical action to help and commit to using our advantages to help others.

For many, the difference between passion and drive is blurred. Through reflection for self-awareness — rooted in values and integrity — intentional action becomes possible. The impact you want to have, the participation in something bigger than yourself, is BOLD. And it may take a lot of hard work to become the person you need to be to do it.

This program will present two questions you can ask yourself to reflect on and confirm that your values align with your actions. You will also learn what limiting beliefs do and how self-awareness can be a tool to navigate through them. Finally, you will learn the power of thinking more significantly than your current community to be an active global citizen, bringing opportunities to others.

Jess Dewell talks with Charlie Bresler, Co-Founder of The Life You Can Save, about his consistent alignment with his values to be an impactful global citizen and why it is BOLD to be a global citizen and allow others to have some of the advantages you do.

Business longevity results from tenacity, small wins that compound, and saying "no" decisively. When you shape your decisions with nonnegotiables providing constraints, there is less to evaluate with regard to removing overwhelm and freeing up time to spend doing the real deep work necessary to build a thriving business.

Effective communication is necessary to maximize the compounding effect of your choices. That comes from clearly articulating and sharing more than the vision, including the nonnegotiables for the way to do work. It can be difficult to persist, yet sticking to your decisions and continuously taking the next step illuminates the best possible next step to take. This effort compounds and the small wins add up.

In this program, you will hear how the foundation to grow — including what you don't do — is necessary to look to the future, about the importance of consistently coming back to work even when it is hard, and that willpower and effort create momentum to push forward.

Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting, Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors, and your host Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction, discuss accountability and how consistent action is THE factor in achieving your biggest goals.

Adapt! Change! Evolve! These are the three things necessary to create a lasting business. The fuel for success is determining your business purpose — that as the company develops and evolves, it continues to be fulfilling even as customers and technologies change.

The insight that reflection brings is highly undervalued. Many of us use data to reflect on what happened before and where we are now, and how we look forward is based on numbers. What about you? Your team? Your customers?

Reflection allows you to see and feel how you have changed so you can fully respond to the way those around you have changed. Leading a company denotes the expectation of being an example. The more you are willing to acknowledge shortcomings, desires, and strengths … the more insight you can bring to coaching for personal growth at every level.

Jess Dewell talks with J.J. Parker, co-founder and CEO of Tightrope Media Systems which makes the Carousel Digital Signage Software and Cablecast Community Media products. Discussion is about creating a lasting business by focusing on bringing people together to do their best work. Tune in to learn the importance of founding values, business purpose, and self-awareness in leading a company through multiple changes and focusing on your company's current state and future goals to adapt and thrive.

Leading your team requires a variation of the skills you've developed to lead yourself. Communication becomes exponentially important — not only to create expectations about how to do the work, but also to celebrate success and meet each person where they are at (i.e., so they understand their goals align with the company's). Tim Fortescue, Founder at 40 Watt Coaching, talks about knowing what you will do to achieve your goals — and helping your team do the same.

Reflection is often undervalued as a tool for moving forward, and is essential to avoid backtracking or pivoting as new information and results become known. It is necessary to celebrate wins along the way, too — and reflection builds in the time and opportunity to identify wins. Small wins build momentum, reinforce the way you work in your company, and deepen relationships through shared success.

In this program, you will hear how to discover and plan for your grandest ideas by planting seeds for the future, knowing your performance levers, and persevering when it gets difficult. Jess Dewell talks with Tim Fortescue, Founder of 40 Watt Coaching, about taking the time to really know yourself and what you want to do.

It is important to understand the fundamentals of accounting to be able to make good business decisions. This includes having an outside set of eyes that are honed from the manner in which technology is changing the way CPAs work.

Data is necessary to know where you've been so you can make the most informed decisions possible. That means collecting data — the right data — and using it to optimize the evaluation of several good ideas. Risk is always a part of good ideas, and the cost of debt today doesn't have to make things harder or unreachable; it just requires understanding how such risk will help you today.

This program is about the exciting developments surrounding how technology can create more opportunities to better understand what it takes to achieve your growth goals. It emphasizes the importance of committing to expanding the ways you think, and provides insights on how to change with the world as it changes around you.

Jess Dewell talks with Dave Hartley, Partner in Charge at Anders CPA, about the commitment it takes to bring 30 years of experience forward while navigating change to help clients stay competitive in their markets — and why it is BOLD to be innovative while surrounded by quickly changing marketing conditions.

It's incredible how often we can hold ourselves back from growth by not doing the critical work. But the truth is, with intention, awareness, and conscious choice, we can cultivate effective decision-making and become true leaders. Knowing ourselves and our team can unlock our full potential and achieve great things.

Surrounding yourself with individuals who have your business' best interest in mind — who also complement your thinking processes — not only offers support in making sure you don't miss anything essential but also allows an outside set of eyes to help you keep the information you need … and let go of the rest (for now). Reduce your confusion and increase your confidence by seeking advisors and consultants who understand exactly where you are on your business growth journey.

In this "It's Your Business" program, you will hear about the importance of finding an accountability sounding board, embracing the discomfort of consistent action, and knowing the distinction between the inside and outside game of decision-making.

Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting; Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors; and your host, Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction, discuss and offer actionable takeaways for moving through knowing what to do and taking consistent action to get things done.

The disparity between the desired and actual image may limit business growth, making office changes essential for real revenue change. Elevating your office/work space attracts the clients you want to attract for real business growth.

Entrepreneurs and healing arts practitioners must recognize that the story being told is crucial for connecting with their ideal clients. While scary and even intimidating, specialization is the journey necessary to find the unique market space to be of the most service and value. This important work shows the connection points between digital and physical brand image consistency.

In this program, you will be given two questions with which to use and evaluate your brand identity for the asset it really is; for learning how to connect digital and physical marketing efforts; and for exploring the entrepreneurial journey of a growing company designing a welcoming and on-brand image for healing arts practitioners.

Jess Dewell talks with Carolyn Boldt, VP / Director of Design at CrossFields, about why it is BOLD to create a positive energy exchange between your service and the client you serve. They also delve into the potential growth (and revenue) business owners might miss out on when they fail to use their office as a marketing asset.
