In this business-focused episode, Templeton and Kristen unpack what it really looks like to scale multiple ventures without losing clarity, energy, or yourself in the process. They dive into brand focus, building communities that actually attract the right people, and why trying to serve everyone often leads to serving no one well. The conversation gets real around burnout, nervous system regulation, and the discipline required to say no, even to good opportunities. If you’re building a business, a brand, or both, this episode is a grounded look at simplifying your strategy while playing a much bigger game.

Show Notes:

• Why clarity and focus matter more than ever when building multiple businesses
• How strong personal brands and community-driven funnels attract the right people
• The danger of “dirty yeses” and learning to say a clean, confident no
• Navigating burnout, nervous system regulation, and sustainable work habits
• Designing a business that supports your life instead of consuming it
