Welcome back to The Get Sh!t Done Podcast! I'm your host, Alex Batdorf, aka Chief Get Sh!t Done Officer—and let me tell you, it feels so damn good to be back. This isn't just another season; it's a reawakening. Growth isn't all breakthroughs—it's messy, uncomfortable, and, yes, painful. Over the past year, I've learned that transformation requires us to let go of the parts of ourselves and our businesses that no longer fit. But when we embrace the pain of growth, that's when the magic happens. Here's what's in store:
In this episode, Alessandra Pollina sits down with Alex Batdorf, the founder and CEO of "Get Shit Done LLC," a company dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs grow their businesses with purpose and impact. Alex shares her journey from launching two successful fashion tech companies to founding a platform that challenges traditional growth models and supports women in overcoming systemic barriers. Together, they explore the importance of focusing on viable business models, the power of niche markets, and the role of personal connection in entrepreneurship. Alex's insights offer a fresh perspective on what it takes to build and scale a business that not only thrives but also makes a difference. HIGHLIGHTS The Mission of Get Shit Done: Alex explains the core mission of "Get Shit Done" to help women entrepreneurs scale their businesses with intention, rather than just focusing on growth for growth's sake. Challenges in Women's Entrepreneurship: The conversation highlights the systemic challenges women face, including misconceptions about funding and the importance of creating a sustainable business model. Niche Focus and Market Impact: Alex discusses the power of niche markets and the importance of tailoring support to the unique needs of different regions and communities.

Welcome back to the Retirement Inside Out podcast! Today are joined by FIG's Talent Solutions team to talk about generational differences in the workplace and the changing landscape of talent acquisition. Tune in as we chat with Lori Miller and Alex Batdorf about how to effectively identify, attract, and retain next generation talent for your independent financial professional or financial services firm. The conversation covers various aspects of hiring and working with the next generation of talent, including their unique communication styles, preferences for transparency in compensation, and the importance of flexibility. We also discuss the evolving expectations candidates have during interviews, such as the need for clear salary discussions and the impact of technology on the hiring process. Join us for valuable insights into talent strategy in the ever-changing landscape of the financial services industry! Here's some of what we discuss in this episode: Business owners and hiring managers need to adapt to changing times and evolving generational expectations. The job market has shifted, and businesses should evolve their talent strategies accordingly. Next-gen talent, in particular, values open communication about salary, benefits, and expectations. The younger generation values flexibility in their work arrangements. Having the option for remote work, flexible hours, or mental health days can be a significant attraction for them. Next-gen workers are comfortable with technology, and they expect companies to provide up-to-date tools and systems. Outdated technology can deter them from considering a job opportunity. Employers should think about ways to retain their current employees. Addressing issues like salary competitiveness, growth opportunities, and benefits can help prevent valuable employees from seeking new opportunities elsewhere.

Stitch that on a pillow!Alex dives deep into why focusing on traction creates more value for your business and leaves you in the driver's seat when you do go out for funding.Women make up almost 50% of entrepreneurs and women are only bringing 4% of the total gross revenue produced by US businesses. Take that in. This is why Alex is all about traction and helping women scale their businesses to help create wealth - generational wealth.Scale does not have to be a billion dollars or an IPO. Scale can be $1 million, $5 million, $100 million. It's subjective and based on what your business model is capable of combined with your needs as a founder. Women tend to think too small... and Alex' programs are geared to help women think bigger and deliver bigger results.To learn more about Alex's traction accelerator and online traction courses, please visit:https://www.shegetsshitdone.comPlease connect with Alex via:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-batd...

She was never that kid that knew she would be an entrepreneur, she just knew she wanted to impact the world. Moving to Chicago for her undergrad degree was a big culture shock for her, but taught her a lot.

“In 2017, Mondays started feeling like Mondays...As we were pursuing profit as a company, a lot of startups have this -- you scale and you grow and you have to pursue profit...you become more of a household name. However, we were becoming siloed as founders, and this is a conversation that’s very important for cofounders and founders in general need to have with their team, is ‘what is it that you want to be doing? What’s very important to you that you want to hold onto?’ We had those conversations early on, but I should have checked in with myself more as we were pursuing profit. So I kept running and running towards profit without an end in sight, and it felt very unfulfilling to me.”-Alex Batdorf, Former Cofounder and CMO of Zipfit Denim and current Entrepreneur coach and public speaker.Full show notes available at www.discoveryourinnerawesome.com.
