Transcript

[00:00:00]

Kelley introduces Irene Riad, founder of Sightset, the Institute of Authentic Leadership Culture. Irene is an executive coach, trauma recovery coach, speaker, and upcoming author of Radical Becoming, co-authored with Brian Tracy. Her mission is to help leaders transform setbacks into legacies.

[00:02:09]

Irene shares her deep personal loss, going through a difficult divorce and, most painfully, losing contact with her son for years. She opens up about the emotional devastation and the legal and cultural barriers that kept them apart.

[00:06:49]

She describes how she experienced multiple setbacks—losing her son, losing her job, and struggling with shame and grief. She emphasizes that setbacks come in waves and often hit harder when we are unprepared.

[00:09:24]

Irene credits her support system for helping her begin to heal. She highlights how her parents, sister, and close friends provided love and care, even when she wanted to isolate herself. She stresses the importance of surrounding yourself with people who won’t let you give up.

[00:12:44]

A pivotal moment came when her father shared a powerful message about her name, which means peace. He reminded her that no matter what happens externally, she must keep her inner peace anchored. This wisdom helped her shift her perspective and start her healing journey.

[00:16:38]

Irene realized she needed to get ready for what’s next rather than stay stuck in the past. She embraced self-development, coaching, and emotional intelligence training, using these tools to rebuild her confidence and purpose.

[00:20:57]

She explains how coaching became both a healing process and a career path. Studying emotional intelligence and mindset coaching allowed her to not only help others but also understand her own emotions and triggers on a deeper level.

[00:31:30]

Irene introduces her Mosaic Integral Leadership System, a framework that helps people move from setbacks to purpose. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing how your mind operates, how emotions impact decisions, and how past experiences shape your identity.

[00:39:17]

She discusses her ongoing journey of radical becoming, choosing to believe that even the most painful setbacks serve a greater purpose. She shares that she continues to hold hope for reconnection with her son and sees her life’s work as part of her healing.

[00:49:14]

Irene’s final advice: “Believe that you are enough, even in the midst of challenges. Find what excites you, and use your mind to intentionally design your future. Your setbacks are not the end—they are the foundation of your legacy.”

Tune into this episode to learn how you can become the Deliberate Creator of Your Life! What if you shifted your belief to "everything is always working out for me?" If you have been feeling stuck lately or like things have not been going your way, this episode will inspire you to realize that YOU are in control, and that opportunities and solutions are everywhere in both business and personally.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Adam Goldman shares why buying into a franchise can be a safer path to business success compared to starting from scratch. He explains how franchises provide proven systems, support, and structure that increase the odds of success for new entrepreneurs.

[00:02:00] Kelley introduces Adam, highlighting his background as a franchise consultant and business owner. Adam has founded multiple companies, including an IT business, a real estate investment company, and a successful franchise cleaning business.

[00:03:25] Adam explains how he stumbled into franchising in 2009 while investing in real estate. Realizing that creating business systems wasn’t his strength, he saw franchising as a great way to own a business with training wheels while leveraging existing processes.

[00:06:10] He breaks down why systems matter in business. He shares insights from Atomic Habits about how a great system beats individual effort, and why franchising is a smart move for entrepreneurs who prefer structured, repeatable success models.

[00:09:10] Adam describes what makes someone a good franchisee, explaining that successful franchise owners follow systems, leverage support, and stay adaptable. He notes that if you struggle with structure or want to reinvent the wheel, franchising may not be the right fit.

[00:14:00] He discusses industry trends and how franchises in non-glamorous but essential industries (like cleaning, home care, and restoration) tend to perform better than trendy or oversaturated markets like food service.

[00:20:00] Adam talks about scalability, explaining that most franchise owners expand by adding territories rather than opening new locations, creating a model for steady, sustainable growth.

[00:26:30] Kelley and Adam discuss funding options for potential franchisees. Adam shares that many people use SBA loans, 401(k) rollovers, or financing programs provided by franchisors to get started.

[00:31:45] Adam explains how the E-2 visa program allows international entrepreneurs to move to the U.S. by investing in a franchise, making it an attractive option for people looking to relocate through business ownership.

[00:38:00] Adam’s final advice: success in franchising comes from choosing the right fit and fully committing to the system. He encourages potential franchisees to talk to successful owners in the system, understand the company culture, and be prepared to take action.

In this episode we dive into how to transform from feeling socially awkward to exuding confidence in business, whether you are networking in person or showing up on social media. We explore how fear, anxiety, overwhelm, or need for approval can sabotage your progress - and how to break through those barriers. You will also discover why being genuine, curious, and truly wanting to connect with others is the key to building authentic relationships and unlocking new opportunities in your business journey.

Annabelle Klein is a Mindset Coach, helping business owners rebel against their old habits so they can show up consistently and confidently in their business.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Helen Hunter Mackenzie explains how entrepreneurs often misunderstand scaling as building a massive audience. She shares a "go small to go big" strategy by driving value for a specific niche and focusing on long-term client relationships.

[00:01:25] Kelley introduces Helen, highlighting her expertise as a business growth strategist specializing in soul-driven six and seven-figure businesses. Helen shares her passion for helping entrepreneurs position themselves in the crowded online marketplace.

[00:03:13] Helen emphasizes the importance of standing out in an oversaturated market by becoming an authority rather than an influencer, shifting the focus from personal branding to delivering value-driven content.

[00:06:00] She discusses how entrepreneurs can use niche clarity to enhance their authority. Helen explains that narrowing down a niche allows businesses to appeal directly to their ideal clients and create impactful messaging.

[00:11:16] Helen defines a niche as solving a specific problem for a specific group of people. She shares an example of how niching down to pet owners with flooring issues is more effective than targeting general homeowners.

[00:19:03] On mindset shifts, Helen encourages entrepreneurs to embrace the courage to niche down, let go of fear, and treat marketing strategies as experiments to learn what resonates with their audience.

[00:27:30] Helen advises entrepreneurs to focus on platforms where they naturally gravitate, emphasizing authenticity and leveraging their strengths to create relatable and engaging content.

[00:38:10] Helen stresses the importance of micro-commitments in audience-building, encouraging the use of opt-ins and interest-based sign-ups to test ideas before investing significant time or resources.

[00:42:17] Helen explains that scaling doesn’t require building a massive audience but rather creating tiered services that retain clients, deliver continuous value, and generate consistent income.

[00:50:00] Helen’s final advice encourages entrepreneurs to identify their ideal clients by asking, “Who could I help the most if I only got paid after delivering results?” She highlights the power of self-reflection and clarity in business.

In today's episode, we dive into the true essence of entrepreneurship - what it really means to embrace the entrepreneurial journey. It's not just about achieving financial freedom; it's about experimenting, learning, failing, innovating, and creating meaningful impact through the services you provide. We explore the realities of entrepreneurship, from overcoming setbacks to navigating the mental, emotional, and physical challenges that come with it. The truth is while it is extremely rewarding, it's not for everyone - and that's what makes it so extraordinary!

Jose Berlanga is a Businessman and Entrepreneur for the last 40 years, having achieved millionaire status 4 separate times in 4 distinct and different industries. He embodies resilience and determination in life and business. After surviving a life-altering accident at just four years old that left most of his body covered in third degree burns, he refused to let the tragedy define his story of success and triumph.

If you’re curious about the plant-based, one-ingredient daily tincture I use to support my own health, stress, clarity, and performance — I made a simple page that walks you through what it is and why it’s been such a game-changer for me.
