You want your business to make an impact in the community and world around you. In fact, I believe that when your business is generous and supports a cause your customers can rally behind, they’re more likely to keep buying from you.
My guest today, Jenn Hawley, has a deep passion for bridging the gap between profit and purpose. After nearly 20 years in the private sector, Jenn decided she wanted to use her business skills to help women and children in poverty. Jenn now serves as the Senior Director of Corporate Engagement for World Vision—a humanitarian relief organization that serves nearly 100 million people in nearly 100 countries around the world.
Today, Jenn shares why she believes in the power of partnerships between businesses and nonprofits. Plus, how you can turn your company into a force for good that stands out in a crowded marketplace and the long-term benefits for your internal culture and values when you and your employees are part of a cause that’s bigger than yourself. Whether you’re just starting a business or a seasoned CEO, this conversation will give you the tools you need to make your mark in a way that’s sustainable, ethical, and impactful.

Scott and I are celebrating 30 years of marriage this month. (I know, I know. He’s put up with me for a long time!) We’ve walked through many different seasons together—and Scott has been my rock through it all. Literally, since we got married when I was 19!
Today, to celebrate 30 years of marriage, I’m doing a special Q&A episode with Scott. We’re answering a lot of the questions you’ve emailed in over this past year—including marriage, business, and empty-nesting, and more!

My guest today, Tina Wells, turned a business that she launched at sixteen into an award-winning marketing agency. She would go on to have clients like Dell, The Oprah Winfrey Network, Kroger, Apple, and more. But her massive success came with massive burnout—and she needed to rethink how she thought about work and life.
That’s how Tina developed her four-phase plan called the Elevation Approach, which helps you launch the business while experiencing the joy and meaning you’ve always wanted.
Today, Tina shares the big “aha” moment that led to the foundation of her two-decade-long business and why she was drawn to entrepreneurship at such a young age. Plus, she reveals why more entrepreneurs need to be talking about burnout and how to conquer the fear that no one will buy what you’re selling. And—Tina shares the one business trend every business owner needs to be integrating into their strategy right now.
