I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas where I attended the Acquistion.com Scaling Workshop presented by Alex Hormozi and his team.Definitely not the typical Las Vegas trip, that's for sure! There was no gambling, no clubbing, and no fancy cocktail bars. However, I did get to spend 2 very full days learning from Hormozi's team on whether my business was prepared to scale, how to identify the weak spots, and what the next steps for growth look like.It was an incredible experience, and if you can afford the expense ($5000 USD ticket and flights + hotel) then I'd say go for it. The workshop delivered on ALL fronts and I'm glad I went.The workshop is centered around the concept of ‘scaling' (ex: growing your business with strategy, to the point where you could sell it if you wanted to). And as someone who runs a Marketing Consulting Company (Kelsey Reidl Consulting, Inc.) which is mainly centered around my own intellectual property, I am constantly negotiating with myself on whether I have chosen a sustainable model for my current life goals.I wanted to surround myself with $1 million and $10 million dollar CEO's to observe how they think, how they solve problems, and how they approach opportunity. Even though I knew I would have major imposter syndrome, I knew it was my next step. I also knew that it would push me to become a better, moer well rounded business coach for my clients.So, Viva Las Vegas! Let's do it!In this episode, I'll share:Why I decided to attend Alex Hormozis' eventMy hesitations around leaving my family for the first time since my little guy was born!

What happens when the life you thought you were building no longer feels like it fits? What if the path that once felt exciting now feels... heavy? In this powerful episode, Lindsay Simcik, host of Almost 30 Podcast, joins Kelsey for a deeply honest and illuminating conversation about evolving through life's biggest transitions.From Saturn Returns to soul journaling to postpartum rediscovery, Lindsay opens up about her own journey of transformation. She shares what it was like to leave behind a version of herself that no longer aligned with who she was becoming and how motherhood became one of her greatest spiritual teachers.Kelsey and Lindsay explore how in their late 20s and early 30s often demand a full-body, soul-level reckoning. Together, they break down why this season of life can feel so intense, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and how to build a life that truly reflects you not the one handed to you by society, parents, or past versions of yourself.Lindsay also shares the powerful inner tools she uses to stay grounded and connected like her soul journaling practice and energetic hygiene rituals and talks candidly about redefining success, slowing down in a hustle-driven culture, and learning to honor the natural seasons of life and creativity.Whether you're navigating the chaos of new motherhood, stepping away from something that used to define you, or simply trying to tune back into your inner voice, this episode will leave you feeling seen, soothed, and supported.IN THIS EPISODE, WE ALSO CHAT ABOUT:What the Saturn Return actually is (and why it hits hard in your late 20s)The neuroscience behind feeling more conscious, clear, and emotionally grounded around age 26How to navigate moments when you realize your life isn't alignedThe spiritual power of surrendering to changeLindsay's simple yet transformative practice of “Soul Journaling”Why getting quiet (and off your phone) might be the most revolutionary actHow to read the messages behind your emotions instead of running from themTIMESTAMPS[06:22] The powerful moment Lindsay realized she needed to completely start over[09:47] Why chasing “balance” was actually causing disconnection and resentment[13:01] The unmistakable signs from the universe that pushed her to finally honor her own needs[16:39] A deep dive into what a Saturn Return really means[23:50] How she released old expectations and is courageously rebuilding her life in real time[30:12] A comforting reminder that feeling like your life is “falling apart” is okay[33:45] Embracing the magic and potential that comes with uncertaintyCONNECT WITH KELSEY Thanks for tuning into this episode.

What happens when three friends sitting on a coffee shop bench during a pandemic decide to reimagine what a coffee brand can be?On this episode of the Visionary Life Podcast, Kelsey sits down with Sandrine Somé, Co-Founder of Nile Coffee, a black-owned coffee company that's reshaping the industry by infusing every aspect of their brand with art and culture into everything they do! Sandrine's entrepreneurial spark didn't ignite in a boardroom or brainstorm session. It happened way off the grid visiting her family in Burkina Faso, completely cut off from WIFI. What could have been an entrepreneur's nightmare became her creative breakthrough. The idea for Nile Coffee was born on a bench outside SAm James Coffee in Toronto, where Sandrina and her friends spent countless hours talking about life, work and their dreams. They recognized the gap in the coffee space and an opportunity to build something that spoke directly to their creative community. Rather than sell coffee as fuel for the 9-to-5 grind they positioned it as inspiration for 5-9 passion projects. In a market where nearly everyone's coffee tastes good, they decided to stand out through culture, community and meaningful connection. Some of Nile's biggest wins came not through big marketing budgets, but through authentic collaboration. This is your powerful reminder that success in business isn't just about reach, it's about resonance. TIMESTAMPS[03:21] Why traditional structures feel suffocating and how to carve out new ways to work and live!

When Nate dreamed up Flow State Bike Co, it was never just about bikes. It was about belonging. He saw this gap in the local bike scene, no real hub for mountain bikers and gravel rides, to go meet, grab a coffee, talk trail conditions, and feel like they belonged.But making the LEAP from idea to reality? That's often the hardest part.Nate spent over a year crafting a 90-page business plan. Not because he has to but because he needed to be fully aligned with his vision. That document became his compass.And then… when he opened the doors. Not knowing who would show up… the COMMUNITY came in full force. They were ready. Not just for a shop. For this shop. His vision.In this episode, we chat about:Why your vision isn't “too specific”How slowing down to reconnect with your “why” can give you the clarity you need to move forwardWhat happens when you build something rooted in real purpose, people feel it, and they will show up.If you're ready to get your idea off the ground and actually make it happen, this episode is for you. Episode show notes can be found on my website |https://www.kelseyreidl.com/podcastThe WAVE™ Mastermind: where Canadian female entrepreneurs scale from 0-10k / months and 10-50k / months.

It's a secret that will make you $1000's or even millions over the coming years.This is advice that my first business coach told me many years ago, and it has really stuck with me and proved to be true.It's not revolutionary,It's not sexy,It's not to ‘start a Pinterest account, create a membership, build an email list, or launch a digital course' like all the gurus are telling you.Those things can come later. Right now, they're not the priority.Choose one area of interest around your business, and go deep.Become laser-focused on your ‘thing'.Whether it's digital marketing, gluten-free sourdough recipe creating, or becoming the best spin instructor on planet earth.Read everything you can about it. Create content around it. Share it with friends and family. Host free workshops. Immerse yourself completely in this one thing—and commit to it long-term.By long term, I mean years & years & years!Play the long game.Success comes from dedicating yourself to one niche, one message, and one plan. Not jumping from idea to idea, strategy to strategy, or social media platform to social media platform.building a thriving business isn't about shortcuts.
