September 22, 2026 Aaron Thorpe on Shadow Work, Self-Worth, and Ayahuasca
Why does one comment get under your skin? Why do you react in ways you later wish you hadn’t? This conversation about shadow work explores the emotional patterns we carry and the questions that can help us understand them.
On this episode of What the Nell!?, Nell Tice sits down with Marine veteran and Souls on Fire founder Aaron Thorpe for an honest conversation about self-worth, childhood experiences, vulnerability, and personal growth.
Aaron shares a painful parenting moment that made him recognize a familiar pattern in himself, discusses his perspective on inner child work, and reflects on how changing yourself can affect your relationships. He also recounts his personal experience with PTSD and an ayahuasca retreat in Peru, including what that experience meant to him.

September 15, 2026 How to Not Give A F*** About What People Think
Worried about what people think every time you post yourself or promote your business? Let’s talk about showing up anyway, even when your confidence takes a hit.
In this solo episode of What the Nell!?, I’m sharing how second-guessing a simple social media photo and arriving late to a meeting turned into a very honest conversation about entrepreneurship, criticism, and caring a little too much about other people’s opinions.
Yes, I work in media. Yes, I’m comfortable behind a microphone and in front of a camera. And yes, I still catch myself wondering, “Am I posting too much?”
If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, creative, or podcaster who has ever felt awkward being the face of what you’re building, this episode is for you.

September 08, 2026 AI Is Faking Small Businesses Now. Here's What You Should NEVER Automate
AI can save a business owner hours, but automate the wrong thing and customers may stop trusting you.
In this episode, Nell Tice breaks down what to automate with AI, what should stay human, and how to make your business more efficient without making your relationships feel fake.
AI can help entrepreneurs manage calendars, research topics, repurpose content, draft emails, organize data, build spreadsheets, and analyze performance. But that does not mean it should be responsible for every interaction, creative decision, or important conversation.
This conversation is for business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives, and high performers who want to use AI responsibly without becoming another suspiciously polished robot wandering around the internet.

September 01, 2026 Why Your Best Employee Becomes Your Worst Manager with Jeremy Schreifels
Your top salesperson just got promoted to manager. Six months later, the team is falling apart and nobody knows why.
It's one of the most common — and most expensive — mistakes in business. In this episode, executive leader and leadership coach Jeremy Schreifels breaks down why being great at a job doesn't make you great at leading people, and what to actually look for before you hand someone a title.
Jeremy has spent 25+ years across leadership, media, organizational development, and culture. He's the founder of Box 7 Media, a strategic consultant, and a leadership coach known for asking the questions most people avoid. We got into all of it: the difference between accountability and micromanaging, why he tells unhappy employees to leave (and helps them do it), how to bring AI into your company without terrifying your team, and the one question he thinks almost no leader asks themselves.
If you're a business owner, a new manager, or someone who's been on the receiving end of bad leadership and doesn't want to repeat it — this one's for you.

August 25, 2026 Is Entrepreneurship Really Freedom? The Honest Truth
Entrepreneurship promises freedom, but what happens when your business begins to feel like the job you left?
In this episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, Nell gets honest about entrepreneur burnout, the pressure of being your own boss, and the corporate habits that can quietly follow you into business ownership.
After spending 13 years in a corporate leadership role, Nell left to build a business of her own. She gained control over her schedule, but she also discovered that freedom does not automatically appear when you become an entrepreneur. You have to define it, protect it, and sometimes relearn how to experience it.
If you are a business owner, creative, high performer, or aspiring entrepreneur wondering whether entrepreneurship will really give you more freedom, this episode will help you ask a better question: What does freedom actually mean to you?

August 11, 2026 I Built a Podcast App + Digital Product Store for Entrepreneurs
I built a podcast app and launched a digital product store, and they’re both designed to make entrepreneurship a little less overwhelming.
In this solo episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the new What the Nell!? app and Rogue Current Studio, where business owners, creatives, side hustlers, and entrepreneurs can find practical tools to help them move forward.
Inside the What the Nell!? app, you can listen to episodes, search the complete episode library, participate in polls and weekly challenges, submit questions and stories, suggest future topics, apply to be a guest, and connect with the growing community.
I’m also introducing the first three products available through Rogue Current Studio:
The Small Business SOP Starter Kit
The AI Right Hand Prompt Library
Leaving Corporate Without Losing Your Mind Ebook
These aren’t products created from theory. They’re based on lessons I learned as a COO, business owner, content creator, and entrepreneur who has spent years building systems, managing teams, and figuring things out the scenic way.

July 28, 2026 What Greece Taught Me About Creating a Better Business Experience
I went to Greece expecting beautiful beaches, incredible food, and a much-needed escape. I came home questioning whether American businesses have become so focused on speed and efficiency that we have forgotten how to make people feel.
In this episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, I’m sharing four business lessons inspired by my time in Athens and on the island of Karpathos. These are not complicated strategies or expensive systems. They are thoughtful, human details that can completely change the way customers and clients experience your business.
We’re talking about why customer service should feel like genuine hospitality, how lighting and presentation influence buying decisions, why small gestures communicate respect, and how the best business systems quietly work behind the scenes.
You’ll also learn how to conduct a simple customer experience audit to uncover the moments in your business that may feel rushed, cold, confusing, or impersonal.

July 21, 2026 Stop Waiting Until Your Break Becomes an Emergency
I hit record with no plan for this episode — and that's exactly the point. If you're a business owner who can't remember the last time you truly stepped away, this one's for you.
This week on the What the Nell!? Podcast, I'm getting honest about something that snuck up on me: burnout. Months of nonstop travel, back-to-back projects, and a brain that never shuts off finally caught up with me — and I'm sharing the moment I realized I had to stop, what I did about it, and how I'm preparing to take my longest break from the business yet (Greece, here I come 🇬🇷).
If you're an entrepreneur, creative, or high performer who struggles to give yourself permission to rest, I hope this conversation helps you catch the warning signs before they catch you.
