Delegate 2 Elevate – Get Sh!t Done

Send us Fan Mail

What happens when a Navy recruiter-turned-entrepreneur realizes he’s the bottleneck in his own success? You get JC Chanowsky, a business strategist and founder who’s built not one but three companies, scaled past seven figures, and learned to delegate the right way.

In this candid convo, JC and Bonnie swap stories about military life, marriage + business partnerships, offshore vs. U.S. support pros, and the real first hire every business owner should make (spoiler: it’s not bookkeeping).

You’ll walk away with:

• The truth about working with remote overseas support professionals
• Why failure is the secret sauce to growth (and why hiding mistakes kills culture)
• How hiring a coach can collapse years of trial-and-error into weeks of clarity
• Why your admin may be the most valuable investment you’ll ever make

Get ready for golden nuggets on mindset, marriage, and management… plus a few laughs about Navy “sales” skills and Bonnie’s off-duty CFO husband.

What’s stopping your business from scaling—and are you guilty of holding it back?

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Whitmoyer, founder of MyBiz Coaches and host of The Biz Coach Show. Eric has built, bought, and sold businesses, opened more than 150 retail stores, and now coaches entrepreneurs using his Six Core Competencies Framework.

We talk about:

• Why most business owners only work in their “$300/hour zone” one-third of the time
• The #1 delegation mistake (hint: it’s about assumptions, not skills)
• Why 80% of business owners who try to sell…never do
• The messy truth about letting go of your inbox, your spreadsheets, and your control
• How to think about delegation as a leadership skill, not a luxury

Whether you’re running a solopreneur shop or leading a multi-million-dollar business, this conversation will help you see where you’re stuck, what you should stop doing, and why you need to stop treating delegation like a four-letter word.

What does it really take to let go of your life’s work — and hand it off without breaking the relationships that matter most?

In this episode of Delegate 2 Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie sits down with Elizabeth Ledoux, founder of Transition Strategists, Denver chair of Tiger 21, and author of It’s a Journey. With over 30 years of experience helping hundreds of entrepreneurs navigate succession, Elizabeth brings wisdom, empathy, and practical tools to the conversation.

They dive into:

• Why succession is more about people than numbers
• Elizabeth’s personal ranch transition story and how it shaped her work
• The first things she ever delegated as a solopreneur
• Why “be brave” might be the best succession advice you’ll ever hear
• The magic of her free tool, the Objectives Matrix:   https://transitionstrategists.co/objectives-matrix/#:~:text=Download%20for%20free-,now

This isn’t just a conversation about selling your business. It’s about legacy, relationships, and — yes — surfing when the surf is up.

You know the signs: your calendar looks like Tetris, you’re drowning in back-office busywork, and “I’ll just do it myself” has become your not-so-cute mantra. In this solo episode, host Bonnie Schutz breaks down five big red flags that scream it’s time to delegate—like now, not later.

From bottlenecks to burnout, Bonnie shares the real-life visuals (yes, even pressure cookers and white-knuckle steering wheels) that drive home why delegation isn’t a luxury…it’s the pressure release valve for your growth.

This isn’t about offloading tasks. It’s about elevating your role as a leader. If you’ve hit a plateau, feel constantly “time broke,” or just laughed in guilty recognition while nodding along, this one’s for you.

Today’s guest is Lefteris “Lefty” Koutinas, an award-winning filmmaker who helps entrepreneurs look like Netflix originals instead of LinkedIn lectures. As the founder of The Persona Club, he’s on a mission to tell 1,000 stories, turning real lives into binge-worthy documentaries.

In this conversation, we cover:

• Lefty’s journey from international DJ to documentary filmmaker.
• How he learned the power of delegation — and why delegating doesn’t mean doing less.
• The concept of cross-delegation with his wife as his behind-the-scenes partner.
• Why your story will always outshine your product or price.
• The mindset shift entrepreneurs need to move from quick content to lasting legacy.

This episode is packed with golden nuggets (including wisdom from Lefty’s grandfather you’ll never forget). If you’ve ever wondered how to build a brand that people feel instead of just see…this one’s for you.

Today’s episode is a little… unplanned. Two podcast sessions canceled, Bonnie got dolled up anyway, and what’s left is an “F-bomb day.” But instead of spiraling, she’s leaning into the power of delegation — the good side no one talks about.

Bonnie gets real about:

• What to do when your calendar suddenly clears
• Why delegation isn’t just about efficiency but about freedom
• How to choose between tackling the to-do list or taking a guilt-free break
• Why your team (and even your tools) are the secret to peace of mind

Whether you need permission to take a nap, binge Netflix, or finally tick off that procrastination list… this episode is your reminder that delegation gives you options.

In this candid birthday-recorded episode, Bonnie chats with Dr. Mandy Marziaz, a functional medicine doctor and transformational coach who helps women navigate menopause and midlife with strength, intention, and vitality.

Together, they explore:

• The dangers of hustle culture and burnout (including Dr. Mandy’s own experience with long COVID).
• Why high-achieving women struggle to delegate, and how to start small when outsourcing.
• How tools like an “evidence journal” and even an Oura Ring can act as delegation partners.
• The mindset shift required to invest in support, let go of “I’ll just do it myself,” and embrace intentional living.

This episode is about more than delegation—it’s about aligning your mind, body, and soul with the way you really want to live and work.
