Delegate 2 Elevate – Get Sh!t Done

Send us Fan Mail

In this guest episode, Bonnie sits down with Lisa Levy, founder of L-Cubed Consulting, to talk about what it really takes to scale a business without becoming the bottleneck. Lisa shares her “people + process… then technology” formula for sustainable growth, why most AI investments miss the mark without intention, and how delegation gets easier when you stop trying to muscle through it and instead build an operating system that holds up. They also dig into the mindset piece: you’re not “bad at delegating”; you’re often attached to parts of the business that feel familiar. If you’re ready for a smarter, calmer way to run your company (and maybe even step away for 30 days without panic), this one’s for you.

What happens when you build a business with your spouse... and you both want to be in charge? In this episode, Brittany Drozd breaks down the real keys to making it work: role clarity, swim lanes, weekly leadership meetings, and how a simple contract can protect your relationship and your business.

We also get into a practical “capacity audit” you can use with any team member: identify what’s not getting done, what’s stealing weekends, and what they wish they could stop doing. That list becomes the start of your next job description... and a smarter way to grow without burning people out.

If you’re delegating for the first time (or recovering from a hire that went sideways), Brittany shares a trust-building framework that expands responsibility without micromanagement... plus a reminder every founder needs: there’s no playbook, so stop trying to do it all alone.

Ashley Dodge is the founder of Some Startup in Colorado, a marketing consultancy for founders, authors, speakers, and creatives building something meaningful. In this episode, Ashley and Bonnie get real about what delegation can look like when you’re a solopreneur, especially when you’ve been burned before.

They dig into a concept Bonnie calls a “first” on the show… delegating temporarily. Think: bring in a pro to set something up, clean it up, create the system, then dip out once you can run with it. Ashley also shares why visibility matters more than most founders realize, including the “old website copy” problem (yep, Google still thinks you do that thing you stopped doing years ago). Then we go practical with tools and automation, including a Calendly workflow nugget that can save serious time and reduce email back-and-forth.

If you want more momentum with less mental load, you’re going to love this one.

Jenn Adamson is an executive wellness expert, registered nurse, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author who helps high-achieving leaders enjoy their success without losing their edge. In this conversation, Jenn and Bonnie unpack the difference between high functioning and high performing …and why so many leaders look “fine” on paper while privately running on chronic stress.

Jenn explains how chronic stress chips away at decision-making, drives down innovation, and can even lead to talent loss. She shares a powerful healthcare analogy (code blue) to show why acute stress is survivable, but chronic stress is costly. They also talk about the “real” delegation conversation …why we resist help, what self-worth has to do with receiving support, and how entrepreneurs can focus on revenue-generating activities instead of hiding in busywork.

If you’re carrying too much, doing it all “because it’s faster,” and feeling that stress show up in your body and brain …this one will land.

Lisa Carman, founder of Resonating Resumes, joins Bonnie for a real conversation about career reinvention, LinkedIn strategy, delegation, and building a business that actually fits who you are.

Lisa shares how she moved from corporate life into resume writing and LinkedIn branding, why she chose not to scale her business in the usual way, what she learned from hiring help too late, and how she now uses AI as a tool without giving up her personal touch. They also talk about money blocks, networking, intuition, and the value of finding the right people to support your next act.

This episode is especially valuable for professional service providers, entrepreneurs, women reinventing themselves, and anyone who knows they are doing too much on their own.

Money is emotional. Especially when you’re a creative, a founder, or both. In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Allie Beckmann, RFC, founder of Liberated Financial, a Denver-based, women-owned firm offering investment management and flat-fee holistic financial planning for creatives, entrepreneurs, and values-driven humans.

Allie shares how her background in theater, social justice, and trauma-informed facilitation shapes the way she helps clients make values-aligned decisions with their money. They dig into why your values should be at the center of every financial move, how to start delegating earlier than you think, and what changes when you treat creativity as a core pillar of your wellbeing.

If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting support and worrying about the “cost,” this conversation will help you see delegation, money, and creative energy in a whole new way.

In this eye-opening episode, Bonnie sits down with intuitive strategist and Soul Language founder Jennifer Urezzio for a grounded, refreshing conversation about the role intuition plays in leadership, delegation, pricing, boundaries, and everyday business decisions.

Jennifer breaks down what intuition actually is, how it shows up in your body, why emotional safety impacts your ability to outsource, and how to identify clients who will support (or sabotage) your success using her famous Peanuts character method.

If you’ve ever felt torn between logic and gut instinct, or if delegation scares you more than it should, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence you didn’t know you needed.

Founders, here’s the delegation truth that changes everything: it’s not about whether you can do the task… it’s whether you should.

In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Chris “Schwally” Schwalbach, serial entrepreneur and fractional finance leader, to unpack how growth-stage leaders create leverage without burning themselves out. Chris shares his “next three hires” framework (yes, even if you’re not hiring yet), plus the operating cadence that makes fractional partners feel like real teammates, not vendors.

You’ll also hear a powerful concept that most leaders skip over: the skill of receiving help. When you structure communication, expectations, and accountability the right way, delegation stops feeling risky and becomes a growth engine.

If you’re building a team, working with fractional support, or trying to buy back your time in a smart way, this episode is for you.
