  • Ep 373 | The Shift I Didn’t Expect to Make This Year

    Hey Winner,

    In this episode, I’m sharing a change that’s coming to the podcast and the heart behind it.

    After reflecting on our Grow Your Biz without Social virtual event, Implementation Week, and the conversations that came out of both events in May, I realized I want this podcast to serve you with more intentionality, depth, and relevance instead of simply keeping up with a publishing schedule.

    So today, I’m talking about why the podcast is moving into seasonal episodes, what this shift will look like moving forward, and when new episodes will return. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, pressured to constantly produce, or unsure how to build sustainably in this season of business and life, I think this conversation will really encourage you.

    Rooting for you ~ Gabe

          • Ep 371 | Using Referral-Based Marketing to Your Advantage as a Service-Based Business Owner with Morgan Law

            Hey Winner,

            If marketing has ever felt uncomfortable or forced, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. I’m joined by Morgan Law, a bookkeeper and educator, to talk about a different approach—one that’s rooted in relationships, trust, and the work you’re already doing well.

            We unpack how referral-based marketing can become a steady and sustainable way to grow your business without feeling like you’re constantly promoting yourself. Morgan shares practical ways to turn happy clients into natural advocates, how to build genuine referral partnerships, and how to ask for referrals in a way that feels aligned and easy.

            If you’ve been craving a more grounded way to grow, this episode will meet you right where you are.

              • Ep 370 | How to Hear God’s Voice and Discern the Real Root of Your Struggles with Heather O’Brien

                Hey Winner,

                If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing decisions, overanalyzing every move, or wondering why your business feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you.

                In today’s episode, I’m joined by Heather O’Brien, prophetic healing coach, author, and host of the Heal with God podcast. Together, we explore why so many entrepreneurial struggles aren’t actually strategy problems at all, and what changes when we slow down long enough to ask God what’s really going on beneath the surface.

                Heather shares how fear, unresolved pain, or old belief systems often masquerade as procrastination, burnout, or confusion, and how learning to discern the true root brings clarity and peace even before circumstances change.

                If you’re faithful, capable, and doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode offers a gentler, wiser way forward.

                  • GBWS | Making CEO Decisions that Move the Needle with Christy Beard

                    Hey Winner,

                    If your ideas are strong but your energy feels stretched thin, this conversation is for you.

                    In this episode, I’m joined by Christy Beard, founder of Virtually Structured. Christy helps women-led service providers turn scattered operations into simple, reliable systems so their business actually supports the life they’re building.

                    We’re talking about decision-making at the CEO level. Not making more decisions. Making better ones. Especially in seasons where your vision feels big, but your capacity is limited.

                    Christy breaks down why decision overload quietly stalls growth, how to lead without defaulting to hustle or guilt, and what it looks like to build structure that creates clarity instead of pressure.

                    This episode is for entrepreneurs who are tired of carrying everything in their head and ready to lead their business with more confidence, focus, and calm.

                                Hey Winner,

                                It’s easy to assume that if your business feels inconsistent, the problem is you. That you just need to be more disciplined, more focused, or more motivated. But what if the real issue isn’t your effort—it’s your structure?

                                In this talk, I’m joined by Chelsi Jo Moore, who shares how to organize your life and business in a way that supports consistent growth without constant pressure. We talk about why businesses stall when everything lives in your head, how simple systems create stability, and what it looks like to build a business that doesn’t depend on you being “on” all the time.

                                If you’ve been feeling stretched or inconsistent, this episode will help you find a steadier way forward.
