What if the secret to sustainable success wasn’t more hustle, but more humanity? In this episode, attraction marketing pioneer Dianne Hochman shares how she built a thriving business from her kitchen table without a tech background, fancy tools, or sales scripts. For over 25 years, she’s taught thousands how to grow authentic brands and leverage systems without losing themselves in the process.

The conversation spans the early days of offline marketing, the evolution of autoresponders and AI, and how Dianne’s unwavering focus on relationships, not just transactions, created real financial freedom.

• Build brand before burnout: A strong personal brand and automated systems give you freedom and peace of mind when life gets hard.

• Mass communication is non-negotiable: To grow sustainably, you need automated, repeatable ways to reach many people, not just one-on-one.

• Legacy is about impact: True legacy is built through the people you empower and the lives you change, not the accolades you collect.

When April Dodson started out in the hood-cleaning business with her husband, she didn’t wait for the phone to ring—she made the calls. That same bold, entrepreneurial energy has shaped every phase of her career. In this episode, April shares how she built multiple businesses from the ground up, leveraged virtual assistant services and AI without losing her personal touch, and created a new kind of marketing software that’s getting recognized at the state level.

April gets real about what it takes to stay in business for the long haul, how her company helps others do the same, and why fitness has become a surprising part of her business model. This episode is packed with insights for anyone ready to scale with intention.

Key Takeaways:

• Use cold calling strategically. Start with a clear script, target a specific industry, and track conversions—April used this method to land 276 Ingles stores and a national MGM contract.

• Focus on organic outreach in Facebook and LinkedIn groups. Share value-based posts, then follow up with DMs to collect phone numbers and emails from engaged users.

• Build your list by “profiling” group activity. Create 30 days of content in advance, then repurpose it across groups with compliant, human-first messaging.

• Offer flexible entry points. April’s team customizes services—from appointment setting to quoting and CRM updates—so clients can outsource only what they need.

• Replace burnout with movement. Adding yoga or mindful activity—even once a week—can help you reset your nervous system and prevent entrepreneurial overload.

What if you could grow your business without burning out or staying glued to your phone? In this episode, Pinterest strategist Laura Rike shares how she built an intentional, sustainable business that lets her take every Tuesday off—and how you can use Pinterest to create more freedom in your own life and business.

From breaking down common myths about the platform to explaining how it works differently than social media, Laura offers clear, actionable insight for service providers, e-comm owners, and creators who want better leads without nonstop hustle. She also opens up about navigating entrepreneurship while healing from postpartum depression—and why systems, simplicity, and letting go of the algorithm game changed everything.

Key Takeaways:

• Pinterest is a search engine, not a social platform. It captures users who are actively looking for solutions, which leads to higher-quality traffic.

• Auto-publishing from Instagram hurts your strategy. Repackage content so it’s clear and clickable in Pinterest’s format.

• Create multiple pins per offer. Target different keywords, audiences, and stages of awareness with 3–5 pins for every URL.

• Link to more than just landing pages. You can drive traffic to Facebook posts, YouTube videos, podcasts—anywhere that moves the needle.

• Start Pinterest ads with a test budget. Laura recommends $25–$50/day for the first two weeks to gather enough data for optimization.

• Don’t start from scratch—just redirect and rebrand. Pinterest is incredibly forgiving, even if your old content no longer fits your niche.

What if you didn’t have to carry every detail in your head? In this episode of Uncensored Entrepreneurs, Anggie Jimenez shares the story behind Myndify, the personal memory assistant she created to offload mental clutter, reduce invisible labor, and help people feel like themselves again.

A former financial advisor turned tech founder and mom of two, Anggie built Myndify to solve a problem she lived with daily—forgetting the little things that mattered. She talks with Starr, Robert, and Tina about her transition into entrepreneurship, the risk of leaving a stable career, and what it means to break into tech as a Latina woman with no coding background.

From smart reminders that prompt you at just the right moment to AI recall tools that remember what you can’t, this episode explores how technology can be a support system—not another task to manage.

Key Takeaways:

• Build what you need. Anggie didn’t wait for someone else to create the solution—she built Myndify because she personally needed it.

• Forgetfulness isn’t failure. The app is designed to support memory, not replace it—reminding users of what matters when it matters.

• Representation matters. As a Latina woman in tech, Anggie is paving the way for others by proving that expertise doesn’t always require traditional credentials.

• Calculated risks pay off. Her leap from finance to tech was built on research, validation, and a deep belief in the value of her idea.

• Smart systems save energy. Features like event records, expiration tracking, AI recall, and shared memory files make Myndify a tool for both life and business.

Featured Guest: 

Anggie Jimenez is the founder of MYNDIFY, a personal memory assistant designed to help people offload mental clutter and stay organized. She was raised in Harlem by Dominican parents and credits her humble beginnings for shaping her tenacity and drive.

Her shift into tech was fueled by a passion for innovation and a desire to alleviate the burden of high mental loads, particularly for women.

In this powerful episode of Uncensored Entrepreneurs, Bob Burg, co-author of the international bestseller The Go-Giver, joins the hosts for a conversation that redefines how we think about business, sales, and value. Bob unpacks the core philosophy behind The Go-Giver Way: shifting your focus from getting to giving, and how that mindset leads to not only deeper fulfillment but greater profitability.

The conversation flows from mindset to marketing, offering real-world strategies on customer experience, pivoting with purpose, and leading with service—even in uncertain times. Whether you’re a solopreneur, author, coach, or CEO, this episode will help you realign your sales strategy with service and connection.

Key Takeaways:

• Focus on value, not the sale. Shifting your mindset from income-driven to value-driven creates trust, loyalty, and long-term success.

• “Money is an echo of value.” Profit is the natural result of consistently delivering meaningful impact to others.

• Stand out through the five elements of value. Excellence, consistency, attention, empathy, and appreciation help you rise above price-based competition.

• Serve first, sell second. Selling should feel like helping—when you truly serve, the sale takes care of itself.

• Use language that aligns with service. Simple shifts like “upserve” instead of “upsell” help you and your audience stay grounded in integrity.

• Relationships drive business growth. People do business with those they know, like, and trust—so lead with connection and care.

In this episode, Robert and Starr talk with Steve Rivers, Managing Partner at Valenta, about how small and mid-sized businesses can start using automation to streamline operations, cut costs, and reclaim time. Steve explains how bots can now do the repetitive, manual work that once fell solely on employees—without requiring massive software investments or tech overhauls.

They explore how automation isn't just for giant corporations anymore, what it really costs, and how to get started even if you're not "techy." From bookkeeping to onboarding, Steve shares real-life use cases and shows why automation should be part of every entrepreneur's growth strategy. Whether you're running a lean team or just tired of data entry, this episode is your crash course in using automation to scale smarter.

Key Takeaways:

• Start with what you hate doing: Identify one repetitive task you dread—those are often the best candidates for automation.

• You don’t need new software: Modern bots work with your existing tools, mimicking human behavior without requiring a system overhaul.

• Automation is now affordable: For as little as $30/day, you can delegate hours of manual work to bots—without hiring or training staff.

• Bots reduce errors and increase consistency: Automating tasks minimizes human error and ensures your processes run the same way every time.

• You can build incrementally: Start with one task, see results, then scale—automation doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing.
