The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we’re diving into the game-changer that too many entrepreneurs overlook—recurring revenue.

Here’s the truth: unpredictable cash flow kills businesses. Recurring revenue creates stability, scalability, and the freedom to plan for growth instead of scrambling for the next sale. Whether it’s subscriptions, memberships, retainers, or creative add-ons, there’s a way for every business to build recurring income streams.

We share personal stories from running service-based companies, coaching practices, and even security and fitness businesses—showing you just how powerful recurring revenue can be when it’s done right. You’ll learn:

• Why recurring revenue is the backbone of consistent cash flow.

• The psychology behind subscriptions (and why customers stay—even when they shouldn’t).

• How recurring models increase lifetime customer value and even boost your business valuation.

• Smart ways to audit your offers and add recurring streams without creating more work.

• The dos and don’ts of pricing so you don’t sabotage your own profitability.
  

This isn’t about copying Netflix or Amazon. It’s about taking control of your business model and creating stability that frees you up to take risks, innovate, and scale.

If you don’t already have recurring revenue built in—or if you know it’s time to level yours up—this episode will push you to rethink the way you structure your business.

Now we want to hear from you: Do you already have recurring revenue in place? Where can you add it? Share your takeaways with us in the comments or DM—we love hearing how you’re building your badass business.

Are you torn between competing and collaborating in your business? In this episode, we dive into the reality of healthy competition versus scarcity mindset competition—and how the right collaborative strategies can actually grow your impact, rather than diminish your edge.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How to shift your mindset from “either/or” to “both/and” when it comes to competition and collaboration.

• Practical ways to collaborate: cross-promotions, referral systems, joint offers, and packages.

• Why collaboration doesn’t always have to involve payment—it’s about building trust and community.

• How to protect your brand and reputation while engaging in collaborative work.

• The concept of “co-opetition”: keeping your competitive edge while creating value through collaboration.

• Real-life examples of successful collaboration that lifted entire communities and businesses.
  

Key takeaway: Healthy competition keeps you sharp, but collaboration can multiply your impact. The goal isn’t to eliminate competition—it’s to leverage relationships, trust, and joint opportunities to grow your business and help others thrive.

Tune in to discover how you can embrace both competition and collaboration to create more value for your clients—and for your business.

• How to retrain clients and team members who have slipped outside your boundaries

Integrity is easy when everything’s going your way. But what about when money, ego, reputation, or opportunity tempt you to cut corners?

In this episode, we get real about integrity — what it really means in business, why it’s often faked in today’s social-media-driven culture, and how to stay grounded when the pressure is on.

Some highlights:

• The difference between short-term wins and long-term integrity

• Why performative integrity (a.k.a. “virtue signaling”) erodes trust

• How ego and success can quietly pull you off track

• The role of values, vision, and mission in keeping you aligned

• What to do when you slip out of integrity — and how to recover

• Why owning your decisions (even mistakes) builds credibility

• How integrity evolves with your stage of business and life
  

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about taking relentless responsibility, auditing your motives, and making decisions you’d stand by if the whole world found out.

Tune in for a candid conversation that will challenge how you define integrity — and how you show up in business and life.

We all do it — telling ourselves little lies that feel like reasons but are really excuses. “I’ll get to it tomorrow.” “I don’t want to sound too salesy.” “I don’t have the time.”

Sound familiar?

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we dig into the excuses we tell ourselves (and others), how they show up as patterns, and why they quietly sabotage your business and life.

From subtle procrastination habits to full-on victim mentality, we explore:

• The fine line between a reason and an excuse (and how one can morph into the other).

• Why excuses often become ingrained patterns and part of your identity.

• Common lies entrepreneurs repeat — “I need to update my website again,” “Nobody’s buying right now,” “I’ll be more consistent once ___.”

• The role fear, imposter syndrome, and avoidance play in keeping you stuck.

• Why admitting you are the problem is actually the most empowering truth.

• How to take a critical eye to your own patterns and start rewriting the story you’ve been telling yourself.

This week’s challenge: Identify ONE excuse or lie you keep telling yourself. Call it out. Then take one small action to break that pattern.

Remember, the only person you’re lying to is yourself. And the good news? You’re also the solution.

The “laptop lifestyle” looks dreamy on Instagram—beaches, sunsets, and cocktails with Wi-Fi. But let’s get real: running your business while you travel takes discipline, planning, and a whole lot of flexibility.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to be a digital nomad. From missed flights to sketchy internet to time zone gymnastics, we’ll walk you through the real challenges and the strategies that make it possible to keep your business thriving on the road.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• The not-so-sexy truth about time zones, scheduling, and staying accountable

• Why infrastructure (hello, adapters and Wi-Fi backups) matters more than your destination

• How to balance client calls, deliverables, and still enjoy the journey

• The mindset shifts that make working from anywhere sustainable instead of stressful
  

Whether you’re dreaming of your first working trip or you’re already building your empire from Airbnbs and airport lounges, this episode gives you the reality check (and the blueprint) for making it work.

Because “freedom” doesn’t come from geography—it comes from systems, discipline, and daring to do business on your terms.

Let’s be real: if your business can’t run without you for a week (or even a few days), you don’t actually own a business—you own a job. And jobs don’t give you freedom, flexibility, or the chance to truly step away.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to vacation-proof your business. From the before (setting up systems, testing your team, and letting them fly), to the during (actually stepping back, checking your ego, and resisting the urge to micromanage), to the after (reviewing what worked, what didn’t, and fixing the gaps), we’re giving you the blueprint for building a business that doesn’t collapse just because you unplug.

We don’t just preach it—we’ve lived it. We’ve been the control freaks, the martyrs, the ones who thought the world would stop spinning if we didn’t answer every email. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. And the sooner you train your business (and yourself) to run without you, the sooner you step into the kind of freedom you signed up for when you became an entrepreneur in the first place.

So, are you ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the badass visionary your business actually needs? Press play, then go ahead and open that browser—because it’s time to start searching for flights.

In this episode, we cover:

• The “before” checklist: systems, SOPs, delegation, and dry runs

• How to handle the “during”: discipline, ego-checks, and letting your team problem-solve

• The “after” debrief: why reviewing fresh data beats rosy-colored hindsight

• The mindset shift from martyr entrepreneur to badass leader

• Why stepping away makes your business (and you) stronger

Ready to vacation-proof your business? Listen now, then share this episode with a fellow entrepreneur who needs the reminder that freedom comes from letting go.

We didn’t start our businesses just to make money—we started them to make a difference. In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it means to run a business that not only profits but also serves a bigger purpose.

Social entrepreneurship isn’t reserved for massive nonprofits or global movements. It’s something we can embody as everyday business owners—especially when we’re rooted in our communities, building something real, and choosing impact over ego.

We’re sharing:

• The real definition of social entrepreneurship (and why it matters now more than ever)

• How we’ve built community impact into our business models—intentionally

• The myths around giving back, visibility, and “selling out”

• Why creating a mission-driven business helps you stand out and scale with integrity
  

If you’re ready to lead with purpose and still grow with strategy, this episode is your permission slip to do both—and do them well.

Let’s build businesses that actually change lives—ours and others’.
