What did we really take away from a year’s worth of reading, experimenting, and running a business? It is the final episode of the season and we are flipping back through the pages of 2025, one book and lesson at a time.

From surprise favourites and total flops to the mantras we’re carrying into the new year, this episode is a reminder that we can business that feels like home. We talk about:

✨ The myth of “the louder the better”
📚 Why two different books said the same thing—and only one stuck
📦 Trello, YouTube, and how business can grow without a sales funnel
🧠 Personal development vs. self-improvement (yes, there’s a difference)
💡 The surprising book we both didn’t finish—and why
📖 What we are doing differently next season

So, whether you joined us for one episode or the whole bookshelf, thank you for being part of this community.

We’ll see you in 2026.

In this episode, we’re talking about The Silent Seller: Growing Your Business Without the Noise by Jai Verma. A Not so new but refreshing take on building a business that doesn’t rely on being the loudest in the room.

We bust the megaphone myth that more visibility equals more success, and share how we’re choosing to “be the library, not the billboard.”

From Kindle adventures to reflections on trust, connection, and sustainable growth, this episode is packed with insights for anyone who’s tired of the noise and ready to embrace a quieter, more intentional way to grow.

This episode is a little different from our usual book breakdowns—it’s a special crossover from Kelly’s TSA Weekly Podcast! And trust us, it’s one you don’t want to miss.

Early in the year, Kelly took us behind the scenes of The Let Them Theory from Mel Robbins’ latest book—a mindset shift that’s simple in theory, but game-changing in practice. Whether you’re navigating discovery calls, dealing with disengaged clients, or trying not to spiral into comparison with your competitors, this episode will help you breathe deeper and lead stronger.

The Let Them Theory is honest, refreshing, and the perfect reset for any entrepreneur looking to make this year their most balanced and intentional year yet.

If you haven’t picked up Mel Robbins’ book yet, this episode might just convince you to hit play on the audiobook.

In this episode, we’re diving into Will It Fly? by Pat Flynn—a book that’s part roadmap, part workbook, and entirely essential for entrepreneurs who are tired of second-guessing their big ideas.

From the game-changing “Airport Test” to a surprise on-stage moment during a live webinar with Pat himself, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and one seriously actionable recommendation: Do the work before the launch.

In this episode, we dive into The Introvert Entrepreneur by Beth Buelow—a book we both read (finally!) and one that resonated on a deeply personal level.

Whether you’re a lifelong introvert, an extroverted introvert, or just navigating a noisy world as a quieter soul, this episode is for you. We explore the book’s biggest takeaways, from networking without burnout to building a business that truly aligns with who you are.

We’ll also discuss surprising debate points, like what being a good host means and how annoyances can be helpful. (Annoyed? Us? Never…)

This book didn’t just validate our experiences—it shifted our perspective. And we think it might do the same for you.

Have a listen.

In this episode of the Success Through Community podcast, we unpack Glennon Doyle’s early work, Carry On, Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life—a book that surprised us in more ways than one.

From laugh-out-loud essays to unexpectedly heavy religious themes, we share our unfiltered reactions to a read that wasn’t quite what we expected. Was it inspiring? Sometimes. Forgettable? Also yes. But most of all, Carry On, Warrior reminded us that there’s power in showing up as your authentic, imperfect self.

To be honest, we’ve never wondered how to validate a million-dollar idea over a weekend. But now-it’s something we ponder. That is because of Noah Kagan’s book, Million Dollar Weekend. In this episode, we discuss our initial skepticism, the insights we gained, and how Kagan’s principles—despite sometimes feeling sales-driven—can be adapted to heart-led, purposeful entrepreneurship. Listen as we discover new ways to validate business ideas and why getting customer buy-in early can be a game changer.
