Feeling stuck because you do not know where to start in your business or marketing? You are not alone and you are not behind. In today’s episode, we are unpacking why overwhelm happens so often for new and growing business owners and why it usually comes from a lack of clarity, not a lack of capability. We walk through the four common “start here” stages we see entrepreneurs fall into and help you figure out which one you are actually in right now. From building solid foundations, to refreshing a brand that no longer fits, to creating content that finally connects, to knowing when it is time to bring in support. If marketing feels heavy, confusing, or like you are trying to do everything at once, this episode will help you slow down, get focused, and find your next right step without the overwhelm.

Podcasting has quickly become one of our favorite corners of the business, mostly because we get to yap, teach, and connect with you in a way that feels way more human. Today we’re sitting down with podcast growth expert Kylee Chandler to talk about how to actually grow a podcast without burning out or posting 24/7 on social media. We get into batching, outsourcing, smart repurposing, and why podcasting can be such a powerful long-term play for small businesses. If starting a podcast has been on your “someday” list or you already have one and want it to do more than just sit there, this episode is full of real talk and doable strategies you can grow into.
