Back when I first opened my business, the economy looked a lot like it does now.
It was the Global Financial Crisis, people were tightening their belts, interest rates were rising…
But there were still things that would sell.
And for me, it was these super cool wet/dry bags that i used to import from America (fun fact, nearly 20 years later I STILL use those same bags, but I digress).
I started out selling them for $29.95, but with exchange rates blowing out, fuel price increase affecting shipping prices and import duty, I had no idea how one of my competitors could still be selling them for $29.95.
What were they doing, that I wasn’t?

Too many tasks, not enough time, and zero direction—opening Asana felt like staring into a year’s worth of chaos. Total leadership fail.
In this episode, I break down how I used ChatGPT—not as a distraction, but as a tool—to ask myself the tough questions that cut through the noise, stopped the busy work, and helped me get laser-focused on what actually matters.
What you’ll learn:
✔️ The four AI-powered questions that instantly helped me prioritize
✔️ How to separate urgent from important (and stop wasting time)
✔️ The Eisenhower Matrix—your new productivity superpower
✔️ Why calendar blocking is the secret weapon you’re not using
If you’re drowning in tasks and feel stuck in the procrastination loop, this episode is for you. Let’s get you back in control.

Are You Paying Rent on Your Own Inventory?
What if I told you that some of your inventory is quietly draining money from your business every single month—without you even realizing it?
And what if I told you that freeing up cash flow in your business has nothing to do with selling more, running ads, or tweaking your pricing—but everything to do with understanding when your stock stops making you money?
So when Christine broke it down for me, I was hooked.
Here’s the deal: Every SKU you own is paying rent.
Whether it’s sitting in a fulfillment center or in the corner of your office, at some point, that inventory shifts from being an asset to a liability. And the longer it sits, the more it eats into your profit.
I used to think of inventory as something that just existed until it sold. But after this conversation, I see it differently—and I think you will too.
Listen in and let me know what you think.

I went into this conversation with a very healthy dose of scepticism. But as Lucy explained how women’s hormonal cycles impact spending habits—and how financial markets have long documented the influence of lunar phases—I couldn’t help but lean in.
Here’s the gist: there are certain times of the month that are the prime time for selling—your customers are more inclined to buy, spend impulsively, and say yes to your offers.
There are other times – not so much. That’s when resistance is higher, spending slows, and conversions take more effort.

Google Ads can be a minefield for businesses, with account suspensions and ad disapprovals a constant threat. In this episode, industry expert John Horn shares invaluable insights on navigating the platform’s policies and avoiding common pitfalls.

According to a 2022 NielsenIQ study, 78% of global consumers say that companies should be environmentally responsible. That sounds amazing, right?
But here’s where things get interesting—if that were really the case, why are businesses like Shein and Temu thriving?
Clearly, something isn’t adding up.
And when the amount of sales that Temu turned over was in the double digit BILLIONS, then, you have to ask yourself…
“Do customers really care about sustainability?”
Here are my thoughts…

In this episode, we’re tackling what I call The Hamster Wheel of Hope—that frustrating cycle of crossing your fingers and hoping. This episode is your roadmap to breaking free from the hustle-for-hustle’s-sake cycle and finally building a profitable, sustainable business.

Building a business that lasts isn’t just about speed—it’s about getting smart with your systems, having the right mindset, and pushing forward, even when things feel slow.
In my own journey, moving fast wasn’t always the best approach, and I’ve learned to focus on building solid foundations for growth. If you’re feeling stuck or like things just aren’t moving as quickly as you’d like, this episode is packed with lessons on how to take a step back and work smarter—not harder.

I recently sat down with Leigh Burgess, and we got into a deep conversation about boldness—and how it’s not about being fearless or having it all together. Instead, it’s about making a conscious choice to keep moving forward, even when you’re uncertain. We’re all just figuring it out as we go.

Joed (our Business Manager) joins me to give you an inside look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of implementing systems that scale. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in the weeds of your own business, or like you’re drowning in tasks that aren’t helping you grow, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn from our mistakes, our wins, and how we’re finally building a business that’s ready for the next level.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into how you can make this year different—in the best possible way. No fluff, no overused “goal-setting” advice. This is all about taking a fresh, honest look at what’s working, what’s not, and how to set yourself up for a year that’s not just successful, but aligned with your true business goals.
