Simply Business

Most business owners focus on increasing revenue, but very few know how to actually turn business success into long-term wealth.

In this episode I sat down with buyer’s agent and founder of SRAMA, Matt Srama, to unpack the strategies entrepreneurs are using to build wealth outside of their business through property, leverage, smart finance structures and buying back their time.

We discuss:

• The biggest money mistakes entrepreneurs make
• Why business income alone doesn’t equal wealth
• Using property to create long-term financial security
• The power of mentors, proximity & “getting into new rooms”
• When outsourcing actually becomes profitable
• Building your personal “wealth team”
• Burnout, energy management & why health is wealth
• The mindset shift from operator to investor

BUSINESS ACCELERATOR —

If your business is working but not working with you, the Business Accelerator is designed to create a more sustainable rhythm of growth.

Together, we refine your offers, streamline systems, and build structure that supports consistency, clear decision-making, and long-term stability - not constant hustle. If you’re ready for a business that feels calmer and more intentional, I’d love to chat ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This is an episode from my interview with Tash Invests on her podcast, Get Rich Slow. I break down the real story behind building a high-profit business in my 20s, from freelancing and early six-figure growth to property investing, scaling sustainably, and preparing for motherhood as a founder.

We cover:

• how I grew from social media freelancing into a multi-six-figure consulting business
• the realities of scaling without a massive team
• profit vs revenue and why high turnover means nothing without margins
• buying and renovating an investment property with a guarantor loan
• managing money anxiety and building financial safety as a business owner
• outsourcing, systems, and creating a business that supports your life
• navigating pregnancy, maternity leave, and entrepreneurship at the same time

This episode is a raw conversation around money, business growth, emotional responsibility, and building a business that actually supports the life you want, not just one that looks successful online.

In this episode I sit down with Tobi Pearce, co-founder of Sweat, one of the worlds most successful fitness apps, which went on to sell in a deal valued over $400M.

But this isn’t a conversation about headlines. It’s a deep dive into what actually creates business value and why most founders misunderstand what an “exit” really means.

From scaling Sweat in just a few years to deliberately designing a business to be sellable, Tobi breaks down the strategic decisions behind building an asset… not just an income.

Inside this episode:

• Why most business exits are inefficient, overhyped, or poorly structured
• How to design your business to become a valuable, sellable asset
• The truth about valuations (and why they can swing dramatically)
• Why subscription models, structure, and risk reduction increase value
• The difference between owning, investing in, and acquiring businesses
• What founders get wrong about cash flow vs. capital growth
• Why selling your business doesn’t always create the lifestyle you expect 

If you’re building a business and thinking about long-term wealth (not just short-term revenue) this episode will change how you approach growth, strategy, and exits.

Most Loved Moment with Daine McDonald founder of Clean Health Institution. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the results… this episode will challenge that.

Because success in business isn’t just about strategy. And it’s definitely not about doing more.

In this conversation, we break down what actually determines whether someone succeeds or not, from the very beginning.

Not theories. Not motivation. Real patterns from someone who took 14 years to build an 8-figure business. 

Inside this episode:

• The 3 traits that predict long-term success (and why most people don’t have them)
• Why passion alone isn’t enough without product-market fit
• The role of ego in slowing your growth
• What “skill stacking” actually looks like in 2026
• Why most people quit before anything starts working
• The truth about failure (and why avoiding it is costing you)

This isn’t about quick wins. It’s about who you need to become to actually build something that lasts.

If you’ve ever wondered how pregnancy actually fits into building a business, this is the conversation most people avoid having honestly.

In this episode, I sit down with Liang-zi Grover, founder of boutique talent agency Possee Creative, to unpack what it really looked like navigating her pregnancy & postpartum less than a year into starting her business.

We go beyond surface level advice and into the decisions, pressure and structure required to make both work.

We cover:
– What a talent manager actually does (and why negotiation is where most creators lose money)
– How to approach brand deals starting from value, not deliverables
– The exact moment she found out she was pregnant… and what shifted immediately
– Why asking for help is the skill most founders avoid and regret
– How your business doesn’t stop, but how you show up will change
– Financial planning, retainers, and building a buffer before stepping back
– Letting go of judgment and accepting that two emotions can coexist

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact weekly structure I use as a founder, so I can grow my business without constantly feeling 'on'.

Because when you work for yourself, no one is setting your hours. And if you don’t build that structure intentionally, burnout becomes the default.

Inside this episode:

• What my week actually looks like (CEO days, client blocks, overflow time)
• Why I batch my calls instead of spreading them across the day
• The 'close loops' hour that helps me properly switch off
• How I think about capacity (and why most people underestimate it)
• Structuring my work around my energy, not just my calendar
• Boundaries with clients and protecting your time

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about building a week that can actually support the business you’re growing.

In this episode, I sit down with Lexie Murray, founder of Be Seen Socials, to unpack what it actually takes to build and sustain a social media agency long-term.

We go deep on what most people get wrong about agencies:
– Why her real competition isn’t other agencies
– The hire that completely changed the trajectory of Lexie’s company
– How to know when you’re actually ready to pay a team salary
– Why her team performance isn’t about revenue (and what she measures instead)
– What strong team culture actually looks like in practice

We also talk about the personal side of business, burnout, pressure to grow and relationships influencing success.

You didn’t start your business to recreate a salary. But that’s exactly what most founders are doing, without even realising it.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the actual cost of running a service-based business… and where your pricing is quietly working against you. Because it’s not just about what you “want to charge.” It’s about what your business requires to operate sustainably.
