Hey friends, it’s Lisa — and today we’re busting the myth that the only way to grow your business is by living on social media 24/7. If you’ve been feeling drained by the pressure to post constantly, chase the algorithm, and show up on camera when it’s the last thing you want to do… this episode is for you.

I’m walking you through other (actually effective) ways to grow your visibility and credibility — without being glued to your phone. From podcasting and email lists to collaborations and good old-fashioned follow-through, you’ll hear how I built trust, grew my business, and found my voice off social.

And if podcasting is something you’ve been curious about, I’ve created a self-paced digital course for beginners that walks you through everything from hitting record to publishing your first episode and beyond. When you sign up using the link in the show notes, you’ll get a free 90-minute 1:1 consult with me — a space for us to walk through your vision, strategy, and podcast plan together.

This week on The Seed, I’m joined (for the second time!) by Stacey Gordon — global leadership strategist, DEI expert, and the voice we all need to hear right now. We go beyond surface-level buzzwords and into the real conversations about workplace culture, unconscious bias, retention, and how leadership is showing up—or not—in today’s climate. Stacey doesn’t hold back, and neither do I. We’re talking about what’s really happening inside companies, the cowardly backlash against DEI, and how to lead with integrity even when it’s hard.

If you’re a business owner, HR leader, or just someone trying to make the workplace better for everyone, this episode is your wake-up call (and your action plan). Because “making work work” isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about showing up, listening, and leading differently.

In this candid and inspiring conversation, Lisa sits down with Iris, a regenerative living advocate currently thriving in Costa Rica, to explore what it truly means to live in harmony with yourself, your community, and the planet.

Together, Lisa and Iris unpack the concept of regeneration—not just environmentally, but personally, financially, and spiritually.

Whether you’re curious about minimal living, craving more purpose in your day-to-day, or just need a reminder that progress doesn’t always look perfect, this episode is for you.

Already In It: Stop Waiting to Arrive

Serving the few deeply can take you further than reaching the many shallowly.

Welcome back to The Seed, where real conversations take root and grow into something meaningful. I’m your host, Lisa Resnick, and today we’re busting the myth that you need a massive audience to make a real impact in your business.

If you’ve ever poured your heart into a post, a product, or a workshop and felt crushed when only a handful of people showed up, this one’s for you. I’ve been there—and I’m sharing the moment that completely changed how I measure success.

We’re flipping the script on vanity metrics and leaning into what truly scales: trust, authenticity, and showing up for the people who already said yes. Whether your newsletter has 20 people or your IG following is under 500, you’re not behind—you’re already in it.

So tune in, breathe a little deeper, and remember: it’s better to matter deeply to a few than be mildly interesting to thousands.

Ever wonder why you fall for ads — even when you know better? In this episode of The Seed, I’m joined by neuromarketing expert Nicole Powell to pull back the curtain on how brands (and social media) tap into your subconscious to influence your decisions.

We dive into why traditional market research often fails, how big companies spend millions studying your brain’s reactions, and why your buying behavior doesn’t always match what you think you believe.

Nicole shares insights into the science of decision-making, the mental toll of falling for marketing myths, and why there's no “one-size-fits-all” success formula — no matter what flashy ads promise.

If you've ever doubted yourself after a failed marketing program, felt overwhelmed by social media noise, or wondered why certain brands just get you — this is the episode you need.
