Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re helping you build clarity around your brand messaging and marketing strategies.

Most businesses think they need a big budget to market well. Nope. What they really need is clarity. Kasey helps mission-driven and visionary founders cut through the noise, get clear on their message, and map out a smart strategy—so they can stop chasing every trend and start seeing real results. With 20+ years of experience (from Red Bull to brand-new startups), she’s seen the chaos. She’s here to bring clarity. Marketing doesn’t have to feel like a dumpster fire. She makes it work for you.

And if you ever need a pep talk sprinkled with Jesus—Kasey’s your girl. Married to her husband, Jason, since 2012, she is the proud mom of a beautiful daughter named Easton Rae. She wears many hats in her world: wife, momma, preacher, marketing strategist, seminary grad, and unapologetic cheerleader. Words of affirmation are her love language, and she’ll share the hope she’s found in Jesus with anyone who will listen.

Sharing Jesus is her sweet spot. Helping others share their message with confidence is her calling.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re sharing tips and strategies to help you become a sought-after podcast guest who delivers value, connects with listeners, and stands out from the crowd.

After working for 15 years in the tech sector as a product manager for various companies, ranging from early-stage start-ups to AWS, Nikki left her corporate career to build her own business in the podcasting space. At the time, she didn’t know where her career was going, but she knew that she needed to do something that made a positive impact and felt purposeful. When she started her podcast, she had no idea it would become a lifeline for her, as she left an abusive relationship and was simultaneously faced with the sudden loss of her mom. Looking back now, she can see that the connections she made with guests while hosting her podcast truly saved her life. Her worldview expanded, her empathy grew, and it inspired her to translate her experience as a host and a guest into the business she has today – helping coaches, creatives, and other business owners become sought-after podcast guests by teaching them how to share their unique story in a way that is authentic and resonates with their ideal audience.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we're talking about how to break out of direct sales and network marketing to create your own business and follow your gifts and passions.

Kelly Parker is a passionate entrepreneur, coach, and mentor dedicated to helping women uncover their unique gifts and turn them into thriving online businesses. With a background in education and a deep understanding of personal development, Kelly guides women through the journey of self-discovery, confidence-building, and financial freedom. 

After years of searching for her own purpose, Kelly realized that many women feel stuck—not because they lack potential, but because they don’t know how to tap into their true passions. This realization led her to create this interactive workbook as the first step in her coaching program. Through her Make Your Mark framework, she helps women transform their passions into profitable, purpose-driven businesses. 

When she's not coaching or creating resources to empower women, Kelly enjoys traveling, spending time with her grandchildren, discovering new ideas, and inspiring others to break free from limitations. Her mission is simple: to help women step into their full potential and build a life they love—on their own terms.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to tap into collaborative AI to amplify your strengths, eliminate busywork, and unlock your business superpowers.

Is your AI assistant making you feel slow and stupid? Colette Mason fixes that.

While "prompt-pack bros" sell hyped template fantasies that break the moment you need them most, Colette builds collaborative AI systems that make you feel bloody brilliant instead of frustrated. No more garbage outputs. No more starting from scratch. No more AI slop.

Here's what makes her different: 42 years building systems for global investment banks, London's Metropolitan Police, and the UK government—systems that literally cannot fail. Plus she's had 12 years as a mindset coach, qualified hypnotherapist and Master NLP practitioner, who understands why humans struggle with tech and how to blitz those obstacles.

This AI developer/bona fide therapist is a rare combo.

She's the author of "Ditch Rework Build Teamwork", a book focusing on human-centred AI and creator of the R.E.A.L. Blueprint—a system that trains AI to work like a proper teammate and mentor. Her C.O.N.T.R.O.L.L.E.D. Principles work even when AI platforms change, because she builds on human psychology first, and the tech stack second.

The result? Academic research shows collaborative AI delivers 30-40% better outcomes than either humans or AI working alone. Colette doesn't sell automation that replaces you—she builds augmentation that makes you unstoppable. Prepare to take the brakes off on your life.

When she's not teaching business owners to rebel against AI industry BS, you'll find her at rock music gigs, exploring the British Isles in her campervan, Snowball, or kayaking - sometimes in fancy dress—she knows life should be as adventurous, uplifting and authentic as the AI solutions she creates.
