If you’ve ever wondered how Lynn and Amanda started their businesses, then this is your episode. Today we weigh the pros and cons of bootstrapping versus going the venture capitalist route when funding your business.
Both approaches have their merits and trade-offs, and the choice between bootstrapping and venture capital funding depends on various factors such as the business model, growth potential, founder's goals, available resources … and maybe the control issues of the CEOs.

June 27, 2023Authentic Leadership
Episode 34: Authentic Leadership

Today we are taking a shift from sales to talk about the importance of authentic leadership. “Authentic” has been a major buzzword and we’re here to give you the straight talk on what this means for you, your business, and your leadership style.
Basically, it’s all about being the real deal. We're talking genuine, transparent, and ethical behavior. Authentic leaders strut their stuff with self-awareness and self-regulation, walking the talk and earning trust like a boss. They're not afraid to show a little vulnerability (and Amanda will talk about how much she hates this), because they know it's a sign of strength.
So that’s what we’re covering today, in a nutshell. Tune in as we take on Authentic Leadership!

In today’s episode, we discuss:
Finding ourselves in leadership roles

Feeling like a leader

Owning your leadership style

The myth of leadership positions

The overuse of “authenticity”

Defining “authenticity”

The dramatic shift in leadership styles

The bulldozer leader

Leading through a joint vision

Understanding the journey

It’s not about just one person

Earning the position

Emotional intelligence, self-awareness, self-regulation

The importance of communication skills

Positives and negatives of being vulnerable

Empathizing without losing your leadership role

Transparency coupled with vulnerability

Using certain skillsets when needed

What leadership isn’t

Leadership is more than just owning a business

Creating excitement and empowerment

Why people stay and why they leave

The importance of setting up foundations in company culture

Alignment within the leadership team

Knowing when to step back and step down

Surviving as a leader

Episode 32: Sales Scripts
You may love them or hate them, but scripts are an integral part of your sales system (whether you know it, or not).

We love sales scripts for so many reasons–consistency, professionalism, trust-building, training tools, message improvement, objection navigation, etc–and if you use them correctly, they can be incredibly powerful.
