  • Speed Over Perfection (and other lessons in entrepreneurship)
    Teaching service-based entrepreneurs how to leverage sales systems and grow their side gig into a profitable business is definitely my jam...BUT listen here...
    ...it didn't just magically happen overnight. Nope.
    It took me 10+ years of bootstrapping 5 different start-up's and almost a 4 year jaunt in Silicon Valley corporate tech to be able to help my clients close more deals quickly and take shortcuts to profitability.
    PRESS PLAY on this solo episode to hear just SOME of the lessons I've learned over the years as an entrepreneur. I hope these lessons will help you too!

  • Why You Need a Career Safety Net Right Now
    Whether you're an entrepreneur or a corporate employee (or a combination of both!) it's safe to say that 2020 has been one heck of year. Between job losses, loss of work and some good old-fashioned homeschooling thrown into the mix, it's a wonder we're all still standing. Which is why I've invited career coach Lisa Miller on the show today to help us navigate this cluster we call "career."
    PRESS PLAY to learn how to create your own career safety net (regardless of your current employment status), how to layer up your income opportunities (like a delicious pile of nachos) to help you banish career anxiety for good and how to build predictable baseline revenue in your business while still experimenting with new offers and launches.
