Sabrina sits down with Elena Ledoux, attorney turned multi-business founder, immigrant entrepreneur, and the definition of fearless logic in motion. Elena's story begins with helping a friend clean houses in Las Vegas just to make rent and evolves into multiple multimillion dollar companies, including Boss Security Screens, one of the nation’s fastest growing safety brands.

In this episode, Elena shares how self-doubt and logic can coexist, why emotion doesn’t belong in business decisions, and how scaling successfully requires both heart and systems. She unpacks her journey from welfare to wealth, the difference between being “driven” and “disciplined,” and how losing her mother gave her a lifelong mission: helping women and immigrant entrepreneurs reach their full potential.

This is one of those rare conversations that mixes grit, humor, logic, and humanity a true masterclass in resilience and results.

In this inspiring conversation, Sabrina sits down with Linda Nelson, CEO of Greenscapes, who transformed her mother’s small sod business into a $20+ million landscaping powerhouse. Linda shares how she grew up on a farm, leaned into her tomboy roots, and carved out space for herself in a male-dominated industry—without sacrificing her femininity or values.

From hiring women’s softball players to lay sod in the early days, to now leading a 285-person team, Linda reflects on what it takes to scale, sustain culture, and empower employees for decades. She dives into the power of passion + purpose, the importance of mentorship, and why she believes her job has never felt like “work.”

Whether you’re scaling toward your first million or dreaming even bigger, Linda’s mantra will light a fire under you: “Go on and be bold.”
