On this episode of More Than A Title, I sit down with Sarah Dale, founder of Project 1490a community built for ambitious women ready to step into something more.

Sarahs journey is anything but traditional. She took a leap from New York City to Montana, where she discovered a whole new side of herselflearning to hunt, build, and navigate the outdoors in ways that built a level of confidence and self-reliance she never knew she had.

But like many journeys, life took a turn. After returning to New York in survival mode, Sarah went on to build an impressive career, rising through the ranks at The Wall Street Journal and becoming the first female C-level executive at an ad tech company. Still, the idea she first discovered in Montana never left her.

Years later, she finally answered that calllaunching Project 1490, a space designed to help women reconnect with themselves, take bold leaps, and pursue whats been pulling at them all along.

This conversation is about reinvention, resilience, and having the courage to bet on yourselfeven when it doesnt make sense on paper.

On this Womens History Month episode of More Than A Title, I sit down with Michelle Mitchella business and financial coach whos been helping women turn their ideas into real, sustainable businesses for over a decade.

This isnt just about business strategyits about mindset. We talk about the belief barriers that keep people stuck, what it really means to step into your role as a CEO, and how to stop playing small when you know youre capable of more.

Michelle also gets into the financial sidebecause building a successful business isnt just about passion, its about structure, discipline, and knowing your numbers. From QuickBooks to full-scale CFO support, she breaks down what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

If youve been waiting for the right time, the right moment, or the right level of confidencethis is your wake-up call.

Because the truth is, nobodys coming to validate youyou either step into it or you stay where you are. And on this show, we dont stay stuck. Its always More Than A Title.

On this episode of More Than A Title, Im sitting down with Faye Coleman, Co-Founder & CEO of Pure Genesisand this conversation is real.

Faye spent over 25 years leading at companies like Kraft General Foods, Campbells Soup, The Home Depot, Target, and CVS Pharmacy but at some point, she made a decision a lot of people are scared to makeshe bet on herself.

We get into that transition, what it looked like stepping into the cannabis space, building Pure Genesis, and how shes been able to stay grounded in community while scaling something meaningful. This isnt just about businessits about knowing when its time to pivot, trusting your experience, and moving with intention.

Fayes story is different. First Black woman out of the Industrial Engineering program at West Virginia University, board seats, industry leadershipbut the way she carries it is what stood out to me the most.

If youre thinking about your next move, or you know youre capable of more but just havent made the jump yetthis is one of those conversations you need to hear.

My guest is Michael King, Founder of iPullRank, and this conversation is a real full-circle moment for me.
Before the titles, before the accolades, before the microphonesthis is where I got my start in being a content creator. I was working at iPullRank when I first began podcasting, learning the game, finding my voice, and figuring out what impact could really look like. To sit here now, years later, having this conversation as peers, is something I dont take lightly.
In this episode, we reflect honestly on:
What we were building then and what we were learning in real time
How the industry, the work, and we have evolved since
The sacrifices, pressure, and leadership lessons that dont make it into LinkedIn posts
And most importantly, taking a moment to give each other our flowersout loud, with intention
This isnt about buzzwords or flexing. Its about trust, growth, timing, and recognizing the people who played a real role in your journey. Michael shares his perspective as a founder, a builder, and someone whos helped shape careersincluding mine.
This episode is a reminder that your title may change, but the relationships, lessons, and moments that shape you matter far more
