Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:What happens when life strips away everything — your home, your art, your sense of self?In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I speak with Christopher Wesley, a storyteller and transformation coach who lost everything in the Altadena fire. But instead of letting tragedy define him, he used it to rebuild his identity and purpose from the ground up. If you have had an event where you felt as if your world was falling apart, this conversation will give you ideas to reframe what “loss” really means—and how to find freedom in what's left. Christopher shares his storytelling blueprint and how he is transforming this catastrophe into his future opportunity.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:We're mastering business, money, and personal growth — but why does business success often mean that high-achievers feel empty in love?We live in a world that glorifies hustle and independence. Myself included, many of us believe there is a reward for doing everything on our own. Meet Suzanne Raja, co-founder of WarriorSage, who looks at what happens when success comes at the cost of our connection to ourselves and our partner and family.In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Suzanne explores what it means to be powerful and feminine — to lead without losing softness, to love without surrendering yourself, and to rediscover the intimacy that gets buried under achievement.On whether or not you or your partner is the more successful one, success often means friction in our relationships. This conversation will open your eyes to what's really missing.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Why are healthcare costs skyrocketing for small businesses—while coverage keeps getting worse?
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Why do we keep trusting the loudest person in the room instead of the most capable one? We seem drawn to the tall, bold, confident, and the loud, but not always to the wise. I invited Maria Brinck, founder of Zynergy International, and author of The Leadership We Need, to help me unpack this uncomfortable truth. Maria argues we have accepted being led by bullies and that our subconscious bias toward dominance keeps toxic, outdated leadership patterns alive. We explore what happens when masculine energy takes over the world, why empathy is often mistaken for weakness, and what it really takes to build the kind of leadership the future demands
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:We live in a world where we are compelled to showcase how great our lives are. Yet, on the inside many of us are fighting silent battles with shame, trauma, and are trying to hide the parts of ourselves that we don't want others to see. Melissa Monte, host of the Mind Love podcast, knows that feeling all too well. Deeply entrenched into the wrong kind of relationship and a screaming eating disorder she ended up in jail with a felony conviction. She used her story as the foundation for her reinvention and inspires millions through her podcast and platform. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Melissa reveals how she turned her pain into purpose, and how facing our story matters more than hiding it. It is the key to our healing and begins the moment you stop pretending everything's okay.✨ Watch now to discover how your darkest moments hold the blueprint to your best life.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:What happens when your body turns against you? For Sheridan Ruth, that question became brutally real. By 25, she had lost her hair, her eyebrows, and her lashes. At the same time, she faced the suicide of her husband and the collapse of her life in Colombia.The grief, the shame, and the pressure to keep going until it all came crashing down. Talk therapy didn't work. Yoga helped for half an hour. Nothing seemed to last.So how did she get from that breaking point to building a business and a life she loves? In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Sheridan shares the turning point that pulled her out of the spiral, the practice that finally worked, and the method she now uses to help entrepreneurs stay clear and grounded when everything feels uncertain.If you've ever wondered how to make better decisions when your emotions are running the show—or what it takes to turn loss into strength—this conversation will give you answers you won't expect.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Entrepreneurs deal with fear, anxiety, and overwhelm daily. Dr. Christiane Schröter does not just acknowledge it—she teaches how to turn it into momentum.In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Dr. Christiane Schroeter introduces the STEP framework (Simplify, Tell, Examine, Praise). It is a clear, four-step system designed to break big goals into small, doable actions and remove the overwhelm that comes with endless to-do lists. From writing two pages of a book a day, to using “Petite Practices” that keep progress moving, her methods show how consistent small steps lead to measurable impact.This is practical and actionable. You will learn how to reframe stress into strength, move from “someday” to today, and build a mindset that keeps you executing.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Betrayal cuts deep. It's not just emotional pain but often impacts your health, your work, and your ability to trust again. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I sit down with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute, to uncover why betrayal is a different kind of trauma and why traditional healing or talk therapy approaches can often keep us stuck instead of setting us free.Debi shares her own powerful story of family and marital betrayal, how she turned her quest to heal her pain into a PhD, and the groundbreaking discoveries she made through her research. We talk about Post-Betrayal Syndrome and how symptoms like digestive issues, migraines, brain fog, or chronic fatigue can stem from unresolved wounds. More importantly, she reveals the five predictable stages of healing and why so many people never move past Stage 3, the survival mode.This conversation is raw, real, and full of insights that will challenge how you think about betrayal, forgiveness, and healing. If you've ever been hurt by someone you trusted, this episode will give you tools and hope for a new way forward.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Privacy isn't free—and Tanner Haas is here to prove it. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, we cut through the noise about so-called “end-to-end encryption” and uncover what's really happening when you send that photo, video, or text. Tanner reveals why free apps like WhatsApp and iMessage aren't as private as they claim, and how their business model depends on turning your personal life into profit.What I loved most about this conversation is Tanner's straightforward honesty. He doesn't mince words when it comes to exposing the games Big Tech plays with our data. He also shares his entrepreneurial journey—how frustration with misleading privacy promises pushed him to create FreedomChat, an app built on three non-negotiable pillars: true end-to-end encryption, no storage on servers, and zero commercial use of user data.This is a wake-up call for anyone who's ever said, “I have nothing to hide.” Privacy isn't about hiding—it's about your right to communicate safely with your family, friends, and colleagues without being turned into the product. Tanner's passion and persistence will leave you rethinking the apps you use every day.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:What does it really mean to live and lead without limits? For Laura Gisborne, it's not a catchphrase — it's her guiding principle and her life's work. Having built nine companies and sold six, Laura could have stopped there. But a near-fatal car accident and a lifetime of overcoming trauma pushed her to step into a bigger calling: helping leaders turn their businesses into vehicles for legacy.In this episode of Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Laura reveals the mindset shifts and practices that keep her grounded in both business and purpose.She takes us behind the curtain of what it means to lead with both masculine drive and feminine flow. She speaks candidly about how her early years were defined by push, grit, and survival — and how she discovered the true strength of collaboration, vulnerability, and spiritual connection. Along the way, her Limitless Women community has collectively raised more than $750,000 for global causes, proving that when entrepreneurs align their work with impact, the results go far beyond profit.This is more than a conversation about business. It's a blueprint for turning hardship into healing, ambition into impact, and leadership into legacy. And while this says Limitless Women, take it as a guide for Limitless You. If you're ready to build success that lasts — not just for you, but for the lives you touch — this episode is your invitation.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Wes Towers didn't just stumble; his whole world collapsed. A failed marriage, a business undervalued to nearly nothing, and nights spent sleeping under his desk — this was the reality he faced. Yet, in the middle of one of his darkest days, Wes wiped away tears, pulled himself together, and closed the biggest deal of his career. That moment became the start of an unexpected journey — one where pain transformed into power.In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Wes shares the raw truth of what it's like to rebuild when everything falls apart. He opens up about discovering the power of vulnerability, the role of breathwork and plant medicine in facing his inner struggles, and how authenticity gave him an edge in business when AI was predicted to take it all away. His story is not polished—it's real, unfiltered, and deeply human.Everyone has a story. We all faced it, being broken, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, Wes's story is proof that our biggest breakdown can lead to our strongest breakthrough.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:She's not here to play nice — and she's definitely not here to sugarcoat anything. Laurel Mintz — my friend, favorite bada$$, and unapologetic force of nature — built a marketing agency that's worked with over 400 brands (including Squishmallows) and then decided, screw it, I'm starting an investment fund too. On this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, we kick off our heels and get real. No PR polish. No fake humblebragging. Just straight talk about what it actually takes to leap from marketing maven to GP of Fabric VC.Laurel lays it all out — the fear-based decisions that will sink you, the “dumb money” investors you should run from, and why your inner circle can make or break your business. We go there on the guts it takes to launch a fund, the moments you question everything, and the joy of proving the doubters wrong. And yes, this episode is explicit — because sometimes business talk needs a few F-bombs.She also gets into the current market madness and why most founders freeze when things get shaky. Laurel's take? That's exactly when you double down and go harder. We talk about spotting opportunities before anyone else sees them, pairing capital with hands-on marketing muscle, and playing chess while everyone else is still moving their checkers.If you want the real behind-the-scenes — the messy wins, the hard truths, and the moments that make you pour another glass — this is your episode. Laurel has built two thriving companies, invests in founders who actually move the needle, and knows how to turn chaos into a damn good story.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Are you doing everything right—but still can't break past six figures? Leslie Hassler, author of Scaling Rich, reveals the overlooked reason most entrepreneurs plateau—and it's not your offer, your funnel, or your team.If you've been stuck around the low six figures wondering why all the hard work still isn't getting you to the next level, this episode is for you. I sat down with Leslie Hassler—author of Scaling Rich and founder of Your Biz Rules® and we talk about what's really keeping you from breaking through to the next level, and spoiler alert: it's not your offer, your team, or your strategy. It's something else—and she knows exactly how to fix it.Leslie shares the power of a fractional C-suite, and how the equivalent of a single salary can get you an entire team. When we want to hire for growth we look for the next hire, not for the suite that can get us there faster. Leslie explains how to do that and achieve sustainable growth. Any new stage of business requires a new mindset because no amount of strategy will scale your business if you are not evolving with it.If you're hovering around $350K to $500K and you want to play in a bigger league, here is your playbook.

You're gonna have to care about the problem that you're solving. Lesley Logan 0:12 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:51 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the endearingly fun convo I had with Matthew Lesko in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause us now, go back and listen to that one, because you've missed out. Brad Crowell 1:09 So you could also have said the wise, happy old man convo I had, who drops a lot of F bombs. Lesley Logan 1:14 And also, when we say old, I just want to say, like, there's nothing. He is not like slow.Brad Crowell 1:20 No, he does not come across that old. And he said PSM 81. I was like, what? Really?Lesley Logan 1:26 Yeah, yeah, he's feisty and fun, and. Brad Crowell 1:29 Heck yeah. Lesley Logan 1:29 And like, working so hard for everyone. And I was just so excited. And then when we I was like, I had just interviewed him that day, and our friend Michael and Brogan was here at the house, and I was like, oh my God, I just interviewed someone. You should have him on your show. And I just started describing him and our friend Michael was like, Matthew Lesko? And he was like, he's like, the guy with a question mark suit. And I'm like, yeah, that's him. And he's like, stop right now. I want him on my show. So anyways, super, super fun. We'll get into that episode in just a second. But today is July 3rd 2025 and it's National Compliment Your Mirror Day. National Compliment Your Mirror Day is on July 3rd. We live in an image-driven world. Sometimes this can cause us to not notice and compliment a very important person in our lives, ourselves. This day motivates us to look in the mirror and recognize all those things that make us exceptional, inside and out. So go look yourself in the mirror and give yourself a compliment. Brad Crowell 2:25 Go do it. Lesley Logan 2:25 Do it now. You can use your phone as a camera if , as a mirror, if you want. But sometimes I do that. Okay, literally, next week. Is it next week? I guess it's July 3rd, so maybe a little after a week. Brad Crowell 2:38 Well, Happy July 4th for those in the United States. Lesley Logan 2:41 Those who celebrate. Brad Crowell 2:42 The independence that we are on the brink of not having. Lesley Logan 2:47 You guys, I'm just going to be really honest, we're recording this while L.A. is being taken over by people. A lot of misleading information, a lot of bad stuff. Make sure always, always, always, always get news from the people who are on the ground, because people like to spend things. And so anyways, if you're celebrating the Fourth of July, Happy Fourth of July. But, in exciting news, on July 9th, I'm hosting a free workout for those people who are interested in eLevate, my mentorship program. And we'll have a Q&A, we'll have eLevate grads on there who will tell you why they love it so much. And you just want to go to lesleylogan.co/elevatewaitlist to get on, get the invitation, and come to that. We have, like, I don't know, at the time we're recording this, like, eight spots left, I think, which is not a lot of spots at all. Brad Crowell 2:47 It's not a lot of spots, y'all. Lesley Logan 3:27 No, and we're actually, like, gonna be, you know, pretty soon, starting to work out who has what time slot. Brad Crowell 3:40 I mean, there are hundreds of people on the waitlist. Lesley Logan 3:43 Yeah, like, like, several hundreds. Like, for eight people. Brad Crowell 3:47 Eight spots, right? Because we started.Lesley Logan 3:49 But don't let that deter you. That means you should go be one of those eight people. Brad Crowell 3:53 100%Lesley Logan 3:54 Yeah. Brad Crowell 3:54 Yeah. And you're welcome to reach out, you know now, so, but yeah, July 9th, it's gonna be a super good time. We're going to have a free class, answer questions, have some alumni on there, but guess what I'm really excited about, too.Lesley Logan 4:07 Yeah, we're doing Agency Mini, our coaching program that we do, where we. Brad Crowell 4:12 Bringing it back. Lesley Logan 4:12 We help as many people as possible. Brad Crowell 4:12 Bring it back to me. Lesley Logan 4:13 Yeah, and we're doing it in three days, so you don't have to be overwhelmed by a week-long situation with like, the Facebook, none of that stuff. So if you've heard of Mini before, this is a new Mini. Brad Crowell 4:28 If you've done Mini before, you should come back and do that. Lesley Logan 4:31 Yeah, we used to have a rule that you couldn't and now you can. Brad Crowell 4:34 Yeah, we're, this is a special invite. Special invite because it's different. You know. We're, we're taking the concept and we made it better, we made it shorter, we made it easier, we made it faster, all the things. And so, you know, you really can learn a lot in just three days with us. And then, you know, there's also opportunities for coaching calls, which we never offer outside of our coaching group. Or you can book a coaching call with either Lesley or with me. It's a Round Robin. So you'll be surprised at who you get, because it's just based on our availability. But basically.Lesley Logan 4:58 Oh, that's cool. So they're just booking it and, like. Brad Crowell 5:07 They're just booking a call and getting aside. Lesley Logan 5:08 Cool. It's like speed dating.Brad Crowell 5:10 Kind of, but it's gonna be great because, you know, we, we don't have, we don't set aside the time to coach people who are not in our coaching group, because it's already a lot, right? And so what we've done differently this time is we're creating that space that time we actually are leaving, you know, time during six days where you can book a call with us. And you do that when you register for Agency Mini, so when you're going through and it says, like, oh, do you want to join Agency? Say yes. And then during the checkout, you'll say, oh yeah, and yes, I would like to add a coaching call and so, you know, we'll, we'll be able to chat. It's gonna be awesome. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody. I love hearing all the different things that are going on. I just had a coaching call with a new Agency member, and she's opening up a bigger space, like a much bigger space than her current space. Lesley Logan 5:56 Oh, is it, who I think it is? Brad Crowell 6:03 No, not at all. So, you know, and they, they were, they're trying to figure out, like, you know, all the mechanics behind that. And what's so fun is that Lesley and I've been able to be there for this conversation many, many, many, many times over the years, plus we've done it ourselves, right? So anyway, come join us. Go to Agency Mini, prfit.biz/mini P-R-F-I-T dot biz, that's profit without the O dot biz slash mini. Then, we're hitting the road.Lesley Logan 6:33 Yeah, after Mini, we literally pack up the van and we're gonna go on tour, you guys, 15 cities and like, 20-something days. Our tour is powered by Balanced Body, and many of the events are sold out, like a lot of them are sold out and so but also on this one, there is an opportunity to join a virtual so if I've never come to a city near you, you've never had the time to drive a half hour across town, all that stuff, you can actually get tickets to the virtual events we're doing in Calgary. So go to opc.me/tour to see the lineup, the cities. I can name them for you. We're doing Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Sacramento, Eureka, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Kamloops, Calgary, McCall, Idaho, Salt Lake in Las Vegas.Brad Crowell 7:18 That's right, I'm impressed you just rattled that off I think that's 16, right? Something like that. 15?Lesley Logan 7:22 Some people keep saying 15, whenever I counted. It feels like 16, so I don't know. Brad Crowell 7:28 Yeah. Well, anyway, it's a bunch. It's exciting. We've got a lot going on, and we can't wait to meet you in person. So come join us. Go to opc dot me slash T-O-U-R that's opc.me/tour. And then.Lesley Logan 7:41 We had a lot of people in the U.K. jealous of this tour. And I'm like, hold on, we're coming your way in September. So we come home, we acclimate, then we go into the U.K. We have two city locations in the U.K. for our Mullet Tour, which means business in the front Pilates in the back. Don't worry, the business is also like life skills. So.Brad Crowell 7:59 It's not like super deep business in a studio. So you can.Lesley Logan 8:02 No, you can be a non-teacher. Brad Crowell 8:04 One of them is about scheduling, and you can apply that to any element of life, like. Lesley Logan 8:14 One of them is about habits. Brad Crowell 8:14 And the other's about habits. That's right. So. So anyway, it's gonna be awesome. Go to opc.me/uk.Lesley Logan 8:15 We'll do Leeds and we'll do Essex. And right now we have three spots left in Leeds. No, they're not days passes yet available for Leeds. There's only three weekend passes left, so we're not breaking those up. In Essex, we have day passes because it's during the week. Or you can save money by getting two day pass. So go to opc.me/uk you can come to both. There's only, like, two workshops that cross over. So.Brad Crowell 8:37 You could come to Leeds and then to Essex, yeah, you totally could do that, and then you can continue the conversation. Because often, when you do a workshop and you leave, how often do you immediately revisit that content? Imagine being able to revisit it right away and just take it even deeper, hear it again and, like, really dial it in. So that's also an option. Then, in October, guess where we're going? Lesley Logan 9:01 Back to Cambodia. Brad Crowell 9:02 That's what we're doing. We can't wait. Obviously, we love Cambodia. We love going there. We love helping people experience another world altogether. It is just the coolest place.Lesley Logan 9:13 I love just like getting some time away from the life and chaos that's going on that you like, absorb all the time, and you're dealing with all the time to just like, to just fill your cup up and be amazed about what community can look like in a village, and what it can look like to see temples that took hundreds, if not thousands of people over, you know, several years working together. And sometimes when I just feel like there's just no way we're going to solve this problem, that I go there and I'm like, well, they did this, and if they did this, I can solve a problem. So, like, I just it's always very, It's humbling, but also grounding, and then it really allows you to step away from what's going on and get a bigger, get a better understanding and come back into it.Brad Crowell 9:57 I love it. Well, you're not wrong. It is mind-blowing it is one of those trips that will change your perspective of life in general. It's amazing. So you should join us. Go to crowsnestretreats.com crowsnestretreats.com. Come join us. There are still spots for this October, and it's not too late to get the plane tickets. I think Lesley and I just basically bought ours recently. Lesley Logan 10:18 We have haven't bought them yet. No. Brad Crowell 10:19 We've been looking at them. Lesley Logan 10:19 We're looking at them. Brad Crowell 10:19 So we haven't bought them yet, right? So don't worry, there's room, okay, there's time. So come join us. But, before we get into the Matthew Lesko question mark jacket, he didn't wear it in the interview. But he. Lesley Logan 10:33 Yes, he did. Brad Crowell 10:34 He wore his question mark jacket? Lesley Logan 10:36 Oh, yeah, you didn't watch? Brad Crowell 10:37 No, I did watch, but I kept looking at his epic blue glasses.Lesley Logan 10:41 No, there was question marks on that suit that clearly-fitted-to-him suit. Brad Crowell 10:46 He's a badass. Lesley Logan 10:47 Wonderfully fitted to him. Brad Crowell 10:48 Well. Anyway, before we get into that, we have an audience question @MarleneBroek on YouTube says, I wish I could do a Scottish accent, because I think her last name is Scottish, but I'm not going to try. She said hello, I already have a Reformer, but my head rest is stationary. Any recommendation for a separate headrest, such as the kind that forms to one's neck, interesting, or one that is flat to go on top of it. Thank you so much for your time. All right, Marlene, get ready, because I already know what's coming.Lesley Logan 11:22 So unfortunately, you all, many, many people are now making Reformers who've never done Pilates before, and they don't know that these things make a difference. So I'm super, super glad you're curious, because your headrest is not supposed to be stationary. So what I don't know from this is, if your headrest is stationary up or stationary down. My hope is that it's stationary down, because then we can get like a wedge pillow of some kind that will mimic a head rest being up. But then you could take that, that insert away, and then you could actually still do overhead exercises. If it is stationary up, you cannot do any overhead exercises. No, there's nothing we can do. I don't even know that what you can do, because I don't have a picture of your Reformer, don't know if it has hinges, if you could add anything. Unclear. So what I will say is, I'm just going to assume your headrest is stationary down for the rest of this conversation. You don't want a pillow or headrest that forms to your neck, because we're not actually trying to support the neck in that way we're, actually, when we have the headrest up, it's meant to tilt your head in just a way, so your neck can relax, but your upper abs can engage without us even telling you. That's why the headrest is up for footwork, for frogs and circles, for running, for pelvic lift, that your headrest is up so that your you just have this nice little support to help you engage your upper abs without you using your neck. It's really quite cool. He's very fast. So anyways, and it's down when you're not using that. So you can do overhead exercises. You get your box on top, things like that. So I would look into, Marlene, some sort of like foam wedge that you can cut to the size of your headrest. Brad Crowell 13:00 And firm foam. Lesley Logan 13:01 I would definitely say something firm. You don't want to be like a pillow.Brad Crowell 13:05 Right. So, so, like, I'm thinking about your baby chair and that little funny wedge that you have for the baby chair. Kind of would be like that. So, like, and that wedge, you're sitting on it, and it doesn't move, like, it doesn't give, it, literally, is intended to level out the baby chair. So in this case, you would want something that's firm like that as well. Lesley Logan 13:23 Yeah, very firm, like, you can even.Brad Crowell 13:26 Like, you basically just taking it on and off.Lesley Logan 13:27 I mean, I would imagine, like, if you have someone handy in your life with, like, a really cool saw that could, like, take a yoga block and, like, slice it from. Brad Crowell 13:37 That's a good texture, yoga block. I bet you could modify a yoga block to make your own wedge. Lesley Logan 13:42 Yeah. And I think that some yoga blocks even come like that. So, like you, I mean, like, there's a lot of things out there, but that's what I would do. Brad Crowell 13:50 What kind of angle are we talking about here?Lesley Logan 13:52 Let me just get my protractor out. It's, it's not as.Brad Crowell 13:59 If there's a right angle, is it halfway? Lesley Logan 14:01 No. Brad Crowell 14:02 No. It's 1/3 of the way? Lesley Logan 14:03 One-third, maybe. Your eyes are still able to look at the ceiling. You're not looking at your toes. Brad Crowell 14:09 Got it. Lesley Logan 14:10 Yeah. Brad Crowell 14:10 Cool. Lesley Logan 14:11 Yeah. So Marlene, I hope this helps you. This is why I did the Reformer, you know, how to choose a reformer video. And this is why these are things we have to think about when it comes to what, what changes did an engineer make when making your rReformer, you know, like, did they change the springs for bungee cords? Did they change the foot bar that moves to a fixed vertical foot bar? Did they change that there's no head the headrest doesn't go down or doesn't go up? Did they change the shoulder rest so that they're round and not actually something that like allows your shoulders to be wide, or your foot to be against something that like fills their foot out like the Contrology shoulder blocks actually fit the shape of your foot. That's why they're (inaudible). That's why they're made the way they're made. So.Brad Crowell 14:53 I was like, what?Lesley Logan 14:55 So anyways, I don't think you have to go buy a whole other Reformer, Marlene, but I would do this, and then I would have a little savings account for the another, the next Reformer. And trust me, someone will buy this off you for the same thing you paid for it, because everything goes up in price and they're not paying tax on shipping.Brad Crowell 15:10 No doubt. Well, and then when you're ready to go shopping, reach back out to us and we'll connect you with Balanced Body, where we've got a discount code for you there. So yeah, all right. If you have a question.Lesley Logan 15:21 Send it to the beitpod.com/questions. Brad Crowell 15:24 That's right. Send it to beitpod.com/questions beitpod.com/questions. If you have a win, and you want us to cover that win on the FYFs on Friday, you can also submit it right there as well. So thanks for asking that. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig into the question mark-filled convo with Matthew Lesko. Actually, it's more like mind-blowing convo. He has said wealth of information and exuberance for life. I really enjoyed it. So we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 15:50 Okay, welcome back. Let's talk about Mr. Matthew Lesko. At the age of 81, Matthew is still rocking those question mark suits and has spent four decades helping people find free resources that they did not know existed, which I kind of think is amazing. He has written over 100 books, y'all, he's written 100 books. He has appeared on shows like Oprah, Larry King, The Good Morning America, and built a thriving online community that connects people to grants, businesses and funding and overlooked financial support. PS, I did math while I was listening, his, his community is like 5000 plus people. Yeah, that's crazy. From a string of failed businesses to becoming a recognizable voice for everyday people, Matthew has made it his mission to make support accessible. And it proves it's not about luck. It's about knowing where to look. So we're fired up about that. That was amazing. Tell me one of your favorite things about this convo. Lesley Logan 16:47 Okay. How many things can I talk about? But first I want to just like he emphasized, there's no single formula for success. He talks about how life and starting anything new, this is important, means dealing with failure, struggle and a lot of guesswork. My perfectionist, here it is from someone who's written 100 books and is 81 years old and seen it all. You know, it come like success actually comes from dealing with failure, struggling, a lot of guesswork. And he believes success doesn't come from knowing everything, but from possessing the energy and willingness to keep trying and learn from failures. Hold on. I have to, I have to say this. He strongly advocates that you follow your heart. Stated, he says the way to get anything done is your heart has to be in it. He also said your heart is smarter than your brain, and to trust that more than anything. And I love this, because I think, like a lot of people, like, well, what's specifically when we coach people on their Pilates business, I'm like, oh, you know, who do you want to help? Well, that's, I want to help everyone. Brad Crowell 17:45 Me, too. Lesley Logan 17:45 Right. But like, who do you want to help? Because if your heart's not in it, you're gonna really be annoyed helping the person that you don't want to help. And then you're if your heart's not in it, you're gonna start resenting them and, like, start going, oh, this becomes another job, right? Like, your heart has to be in what you're doing.Brad Crowell 18:01 Yeah, definitely. You know, it's so funny. We were just talking about this recently, where I feel like there's the two extremes, like I'll do anything for money. I'll only do it if I love it. And, you know, I know I kind of flip flopped over this, you know, during my life. And he has a very compelling argument to follow your heart, and I think also too, you know, he's very savvy. He's very business savvy. So he's been able to figure out how, by following his heart, can he also make money. And he's turned it into like a mission, and that mission has attracted other people who are like-minded. And, I mean, that is like the ideal scenario. Lesley Logan 18:45 Well, and also, if you realize, like, you know, first of all, you know, Big Magic is a great book for everyone to read. And some of your things that you love to do, that you're like, are creative, aren't meant for making money on. So that's, we're not. I don't think that Matthew or us are advocating that you like if you love pottery, that you go or you only make pots, and that's how you make money. That whatever you are setting yourself up to do, to go through the struggles, to go through the obstacles, to go through the failures, you'll, you have to actually want to do it. You can have to care about the problem that you're solving. If you don't care, you're not gonna be able to handle those obstacles. You're not gonna be able to go through it. You're gonna, you'll get, you'll get a door slam on your face and just go, okay, well, I'm not into it, right? So I think that's what he means, that your heart has to be in it. Like not everything you love doing will be a thing you make money on, but you gotta care about what you're doing. Gotta have care for it to be successful.Brad Crowell 19:40 Yeah, and I think there was something he said that just went right out of my mind. But he, he, he was talking about the when his, when he first, he actually, first off, I had no idea, he was in the military, but apparently he was in the military after he got out, he started.Lesley Logan 20:02 81 (inaudible). I don't think you get to be 81 and you weren't, unless you're an asshole, draft dodger dickhead. Anyway.Brad Crowell 20:02 That's fair. So he, he said he started a bunch of businesses and they failed. He started another business and they failed, and then he became a consultant, and that somehow, you know, was working, but then he was making millionaires billionaires. And he was like, that sucks. You know, he's like, these people don't care about anybody except for themselves. And he was not and he was not really enjoying it. And you know, he said he had this moment though, where he's showing up for the job, and he's like, uh, someday it's gonna be better and more fun, and then hopefully when I'm retired, I'll be able to go enjoy life. And he said, wait a minute. Why? Why should I keep doing something that I hate just hoping that someday it'll make it'll be better, it'll I will enjoy it more, or it's gonna pay me what I want to pay. He's like, I only have one life to live, and I'm better. I should start enjoying what I'm doing now. How do I do that? How do I do that? You know? So he said he flipped the script and decided to prioritize having fun. And he said having fun is contagious. He said it's a little contagious. In fact, you know, just his approach to the podcast was contagious and fun and joyful, you know. And he said it's also when you're doing something that feels fun, you are naturally motivated to work harder, right? So, you know, instead of like, kicking yourself to go get the thing done, that you have to do, what if you could do something that is fun, you know, you're gonna do it well, because you love doing it?Lesley Logan 21:37 Yeah. Yeah. It made me think a little bit about Gay Hendricks is, like, zone of genius kind of a thing. Like, I feel like. Brad Crowell 21:44 Sure.Lesley Logan 21:44 I feel like they're very similar, except for this one is, like, except for Matthew is teaching us how to get the money we need to go do the thing we love.Brad Crowell 21:54 Yeah, it's, it's very true, and he's encyclopedic with that, as well. He was very impressive. Lesley Logan 21:58 I will say. Like, if you listen to episode 400, Gay Hendricks will help you figure out what your zone of genius is. And then Matthew Lesko will give you all the websites for where you can get paid to do your zone of genius. I think that these are two must listen tos.Brad Crowell 22:12 Who knew that kind of a thing, just, mind-blowing. Lesley Logan 22:12 And I think that each state has that. You have to figure out, like, how does your state, how does your state make money? Right? Because every state's a little different. How they tax, what they tax. So like, obviously Nevada is not excited to help us unless we are a casino. So since we are not one of those things, we're not getting that. But at the same time, there's still going to be things we can reach out to figure like, find ways, because this, they do have local people who need.Brad Crowell 22:40 Yeah, gambling and tourism, that's how Nevada makes money.Lesley Logan 22:43 Yeah. So that's how that makes money. So, like, but we can figure out, like, okay, well, how, what does the city need, right? Because we actually don't live for, the strip is not part of Las Vegas, surprising. It's technically paradise, but, but, but you can figure out what your city needs to get, what your county needs to get, what state needs, and then go, oh, well, what are they? They're paying for that, they're giving out grants for that. Like, yeah, you do the paperwork. But like, not many people are. Brad Crowell 23:06 Not many people are. Lesley Logan 23:07 Remember, I forget her name, B-D B-D. Brad Crowell 23:12 B-E-A-T-Y? Lesley Logan 23:14 Yeah. No, no, B-E-A-T-T-E. She was on our on an episode of The Be It Pod, and she got a, she got an SBA grant because she filled out the fucking paperwork.Brad Crowell 23:26 Yeah, I. Lesley Logan 23:27 B-D Brad Crowell 23:28 Don't have her name there.Lesley Logan 23:30 Well, she's in the two hundreds. Let's see how.Brad Crowell 23:35 Oh, B-E-A-T-E Chalet, Chalet. She was, she,her interview was 196. I'm very proud.Lesley Logan 23:43 Ah, I was so close. And I was thinking, Beate Chelette, but I was like, no, I was confusing her with Aletta Rochat. And I was like, no, but actually, I should have said it out loud, because I was right. Anyway, so close, so close. Yeah, but she, if you guys listen to her episode 196 she actually got an SBA grant for her business idea. You know? Brad Crowell 24:05 I love that. Lesley Logan 24:05 Because she did the thing that Matthew said to do, make the appointment, sit down with the people like, fill out the thing. Anyways.Brad Crowell 24:13 Impressive. All right. Well, anyway, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig into that amazing convo you had with him about the Be It Action Items, which y'all literally, you have to take notes like, it is, it's 100% you have to go back. You slow it down, listen to it twice, write down all the things he said. But we're gonna talk about it so. Lesley Logan 24:31 And it's also in the transcripts. Brad Crowell 24:33 Oh yeah, we'll put the links in the transcripts, but stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 24:37 Okay. Finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. Say it with me Mindi. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Matthew Lesko. He shared an abundance of untapped government resources, both state and federal. By the way, it's not just the federal.Lesley Logan 25:00 And I guess for the people who live internationally, I imagine these things probably exist in a lot of places you live. Brad Crowell 25:05 I'm 100% sure about Canada. In fact, I have a lot of musician friends who would get grants in Canada where the Canadian government was willing to sponsor. Lesley Logan 25:14 Yes. We have had guests who do that. That is amazing. Brad Crowell 25:16 Yeah. And that that like, I don't even maybe that's available here too. I have no idea, but I'll tell you. You know, that was seemed to me like, like my college friends were like, I want to make an album. And they literally applied to the Canadian federal government, and they got like, 10 grand to make an album. And I was in college going, how the hell, why can't I get 10 grand? Lesley Logan 25:36 I mean, they were Canadian, obviously. Brad Crowell 25:38 Yeah, they were, they were obviously Canadian. So anyway, he shared a bunch of untapped resources. He said that 40% of everything in our economy are organizations that give you free money to solve a problem. I don't really understand that statistic, and I can't actually validate that, but he's been doing this for four decades, y'all, so he knows all these things. He emphasized that these programs are already paid for with our tax dollars. So it's on us to take advantage of them, or the money just sits there, it doesn't get used, right? And also, it might not be the kind of thing that they get to they don't just hoard it and pile it. It might be like, hey, you can give up to $2 million away, but if they don't, they don't get to keep it, right? So basically, it's on us to go take advantage of what is available to us. And it was fascinating to listen to him talk about the different reasons that someone might want to go get a talk to these organizations and go through the process. He emphasized that, well, yeah, there, and this stuff is already funded. It's already paid for. He advised the to seek out free government and nonprofit resources directly, rather than relying on standard search engines like Google, specifically, because they don't actually do SEO, or they're gated searches, you can't actually search them with outside search engines like Google. Right? And so basically, he gave us examples like findhelp.org which is amazing. It's about local finding local help for things like food, housing, health, money.Lesley Logan 27:04 That, right there is so amazing how many people are struggling to afford groceries right now. Like, maybe, maybe you're not someone who is it, but maybe someone you know is. You can send them that information. Brad Crowell 27:15 findhelp.org you know, and there will be links in the show notes. So there's more links in the show notes. Lesley Logan 27:22 So many. Brad Crowell 27:22 Yeah. He talked about the SBA. He talked about Apex Accelerators, which I've never heard of before. He talked about career and job training. Lesley Logan 27:30 Oh, and turn your VPNs off, y'all. Brad Crowell 27:31 Yeah, yeah. They're, you know, if they're a government side, it might have trouble if you have a VPN on. He talked about HUD, which is like another United States government, housing urban development, and he said, there's free financial and debt counseling, right? And they can help you get out of debt.Lesley Logan 27:48 I mean, I had no idea, because, like so many of my friends and everyone had, like, use those companies that can, like, you know, supposedly help, but it could affect your credit at the same time. Like, who? Who knew if you use the government agency, maybe it would have been different.Brad Crowell 28:02 I wish I had known when I when I had a failed business. It would have been really helpful. Wish I had known. So anyway, what about you? I mean, all those things and there's still more. Lesley Logan 28:11 Okay, so we said it already. We're gonna say it again, because it's a Be It Action Item. Once you find a resource, book an appointment, okay? Matthew said, everybody just wants to fill out on application online, and wait for the money. You can't do that, he said, because you don't know. Brad Crowell 28:23 What did everybody wants to say what? Lesley Logan 28:23 Everybody wants to just fill out the applications online. Like, you know, like, oh, let me just do it online. It's just copy paste, copy paste. And he's saying, don't do that, because you don't know how the application should be filled out. And, like, there's always the little nuances, right? Like, we're currently working with lawyers who are filling out legal forms for us to go to Canada. So if we had done it ourselves, we wouldn't know the insight and the nuances to like, oh, actually, put this instead of that, because this will get you across. And that is actually going to be like, we have enough of those. So like, you want to make sure that you're working with someone who's like, fighting for you to fill it out correctly will tell you what certain things mean. I mean, sometimes I don't even know. It's like, you're like, oh, I think that's where I put my business name, and it's not, it's where you put your account number or something like that. So, you know, just work with the people. They're in the office I'm talking, I'm sure it'll brighten their day to hear what you're working on, right, what you need help with. Also, they often know the other people in the area, the community, the other resources to help you, right, like, oh, if I'm not the right resource, this person is, if you're starting a business or a nonprofit or side hustle, the smartest move is to call your local SBA office and speak with a counselor. Again, not something online, not a chatGPT. You gotta go and talk to someone. And then he also said, talk to experts who.Brad Crowell 29:42 SBA stands for Small Business Administration, right? So that's a federal government thing, but they have local offices around the country, so you can actually go in and make an appointment to to their office. In fact, also too, not that I'm like, a huge fan of the big banks, but big banks actually often have training programs for business owners, too.Lesley Logan 30:02 Yes, but we're not fans of big banks because they won't help you get an SBA.Brad Crowell 30:05 Almost never will they help you get a loan. But, you know, there are resources available there too, but the SBA is actually, like, trying to help you get the money. Lesley Logan 30:13 Yeah, I would fuck the big banks.Brad Crowell 30:17 If the big banks, like, honestly, the SBA doesn't let you apply for SBA funding directly through the SBA. You have to apply through a bank. You don't necessarily need to apply through a big bank, though. So that's the difference there.Lesley Logan 30:30 Right. So, and then also make sure you have the experts who can help you, help people like you, guide you to the right programs and the paperwork, and they usually do this for free. And you know, he's someone who loves to help people. So, like, there's, there's things out there. You're not on your own. Your friends and family might not be the best people to ask, but, you know what? Go to these offices and go, oh, they can't help you. Do you know who? Do you know who will, who can? Like, what else should I search? What should I be searching? Because I get the right thing. Like, they'll, they'll even, even at the DMV people help me, if you just ask the right questions and you're really nice. So trust me, people want to help people. Brad Crowell 30:34 Yeah, it's true. It's true. Well, what a wealth of information. Also, he has like, here's like, books that are like, $20 so, like, even if you're, you know, look, if you're looking for more and you, you know, want to check out his resources. He has that community. The community he built is like people trying to help people find the right stuff. So, I mean, it's just curious. It's just fascinating.Lesley Logan 31:29 Sounds super positive. Brad Crowell 31:30 It sounds really positive, yeah. Lesley Logan 31:31 Yeah. Who doesn't need that in their life? Anyways, share this with a friend who needs to hear it. Brad Crowell 31:36 Share it.

He's not interested in surface level polite conversions—he's committed to connection.Steve breaks down his ASLA method, a simple but powerful framework that starts with asking, listening, asking again, and taking aligned action. Show up in service—without hidden agendas—and being willing to build trust before making an ask. That's why people are constantly referring him, inviting him, and wanting to collaborate with him. It's not magic but how relationships develop when you treat people like people, not prospects.Maybe your outreach falls flat, or your efforts don't feel aligned. Steve reminded me that asking isn't weakness—it's an invitation for deeper connection. And giving value without expectation? That's how we build connections that sustain over time.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:We've heard ‘the day I lost it all' before. But this story is extraordinary. What happens when everything crashes at once—your business, your beliefs, your identity? In this powerful episode of overcoming a massive set of obstacles, Vince Covino shares the day his $60M empire collapsed and how that breakdown led to a breakthrough. This is one of the most emotional, raw, and thought-provoking interviews I've had the privilege of hosting. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I welcome Vince Covino—serial entrepreneur, CEO of Warrior Sage, and the creator of the Impact Accelerator Summit. We've heard ‘the day I lost it all' before. But this story is extraordinary. What happens when everything crashes at once—your business, your beliefs, your identity? In this powerful episode of overcoming a massive set of obstacles.Vince opens up about losing his $60 million business, filing for multiple bankruptcies, and watching a life he spent years building completely fall apart, right along with his religious beliefs. The size of the defeat is massive. And so is the story of awakening, alignment, and what it really means to live an epic life.Vince was the embodiment of the traditional capitalist—obsessed with shareholder value, exponential growth, and profitability. Until everything collapsed. COVID forced his hand, shutting down locations, freezing income, and devastating a company that had once received a $100 million growth capital offer. As I listened to him describe how he laid off 500 people in 48 hours and tried to hold it all together while quietly losing his faith, I felt the weight of what he'd endured. Fast forward to today. Vince is a powerful voice in shaping conscious capitalism. He's helping successful founders align with purpose, raise capital from value-driven investors, and build businesses that don't just scale—they heal. Through his Impact Accelerator Summit, he's connecting high-impact leaders with investors who want to see your soul and your spreadsheet. In our conversation, we talk about the massive shift happening in the investment world and why being vulnerable, authentic, and mission-led is no longer a liability—it's your greatest asset.If you're a founder ready to go bigger, but you're not willing to sell your soul to get there, this episode is for you. You'll walk away with a new understanding of multidimensional success and what it means to grow a business that actually feeds your spirit. Tune in now, and then visit VinceCovino.com to learn more about how Vince is leading the charge for a better, more heart-centered way to build wealth.Resources Mentioned: Website | Linkedin | Instagram | Facebook | _____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Quantum leaps aren't magic—they're intentional. Dr. Nona Djavid shares the 4-step process to shift your energy, expand your identity, and leap into rapid business growth. Ready to stop playing small?Every now and then, I meet someone who reframes everything I thought I knew. That's exactly what happened when I sat down with Dr. Nona Djavid for this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show. We explored something you've probably heard about—quantum leaps—but I promise you, not like this.Nona has this way about her, where she combines her background in neuroscience with her experience as a multi-7-figure business owner. And she talks about it, like it's no big deal to get there. She definitely got my attention. She shares how she started with just $300 and made a decision that most would call crazy—she invested two-thirds of it into a mastermind. Never mind food or shelter… But that decision wasn't reckless. It was intentional, energetically aligned, and rooted in her belief. In our conversation, she walks us through the four steps that made her leap not only possible, but inevitable. Listen to the interview and find out what they are.What I appreciated most is how deeply she understands the energetic dynamics at play in business. We talked about how hustle culture has hijacked our success, how many of us are operating from wounded masculine energy, and how both women and men are burnt out from chasing someone else's version of success. Especially in this avalanche of uncertainty it's easy to feel like you're doing all the “right” things but still not moving forward. That's why we are talking about this. Nona's approach is honest, intelligent, and full of heart. If you're ready to move beyond burnout and build a business that's aligned with who you really are, please don't miss this episode. And if you want to go deeper, she's offering a free 90-minute training on the exact quantum leap framework we talk about here. Just reach out to her and mention the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Tired of fake, polished marketing that doesn't connect? In this episode, Penelope Holt shares how spiritual principles like authenticity and alignment can unlock deeper success—for your business and yourself.There are episodes that inform, and then there are episodes that transform—and this one is the latter. I am sitting down with Penelope Holt who shares deep insights in the world of emotional intelligence, storytelling, and purpose-driven business. Penelope is the author of Business Emotions at Work and she brings decades of experience as a ghostwriter and marketing expert for entrepreneurs who want to build meaningful brands.Our conversation began with the big question we explore on this podcast: Can business and spirituality coexist? Penelope didn't just say yes—she explained why they must. She introduces the idea of the “Tao of Entrepreneurship,” a path where aligning with the natural flow of the universe actually fuels your business growth. We talked about how people often chase success by focusing solely on tactics, metrics, and strategy—when in reality, it's their emotional and spiritual grounding that determines whether they thrive or burn out.One of the most powerful moments in this episode was when we reflected on loss, including my own experience with the Palisades Fire. Penelope's take on what really sustains us during devastating moments brought me to tears. She believes—and I agree—that our greatest rewards come not from manipulating outcomes, but from showing up with generosity, honesty, and trust. We talked about what it means to give without expectation, to receive openly, and to live from a place of alignment rather than performance.If you've ever wondered whether your spiritual values have a place in your business, or if you're feeling called to build something deeper than just a profitable model, this episode is for you. Penelope's voice is one of clarity and compassion, and she reminds us that authenticity is becoming the most valuable currency in the marketplace. After you listen, I encourage you to dive deeper into her work at PenelopeHolt.com—it's a resource every conscious leader should know about.Resources Mentioned: Website | Linkedin | Instagram _____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:“Founders of the Future” is a movement. In this episode, I break down why today's leaders must shift from outdated and broken models to a purpose-driven strategy if they want to stay relevant in what's coming next.You've probably heard the phrase “the future belongs to the bold.” But what if I told you most entrepreneurs aren't ready for what's coming next? In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I share what's been stirring in me—and why I believe most current business strategies are out of alignment, out of touch, and flat-out broken.After losing everything in the Palisades fire—my home, my office, my podcast studio—I sat in the ashes, literally and figuratively, and asked myself: What now? That moment of devastation became my wake-up call. It is leading to a deeper understanding of resonance, alignment, and what it actually means to be called to lead. If you've been building your business off someone else's blueprint and wondering why it's not working, now you know why. You've been following systems built for someone else's purpose.It's time to change that.In this episode, I unpack why most “expert” advice is rooted in bro-marketing and manipulative sales psychology, and why that leaves you feeling stuck and disconnected. I share the truth behind building a purpose-driven business that doesn't burn you out—but instead lights you up from the inside out. If you're still chasing funnels without building a business model around your resonance, you're just spinning your wheels.I created this episode for the 0.5%—the ones who've heard the call, who know they're meant to lead, but need help figuring out how. So if that's you, tune in. Let's talk about how you can stop copying and finally start creating the future only you are meant to build.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Funnel hacking looks easy — but it almost never delivers real success. Seth Greene reveals the hidden reasons why copying tactics fails and what you actually need to grow your business for real. Tune in and learn what truly drives lasting growth.If you think success is just one more funnel away, think again. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I sit down with Seth Greene — best-selling author, podcast host, and founder of Market Domination LLC — to dismantle the myths that keep so many entrepreneurs stuck. Seth shares why most marketing strategies fail, how mindset trumps tactics, and why chasing the latest shiny object will never lead to lasting business growth.Throughout our conversation, Seth explains something that resonates with me: working on your personal development is your ultimate growth strategy. Massive growth doesn't mean hacking someone else's funnel or spending $5 a day on Facebook ads hoping to beat the massive pay-me-more algorithm Meta has perfected to separate you from your money. It's about who you're being when you show up in your business. Seth's sobering approach offers a refreshing alternative to the many 30-day guaranteed quick fixes aka the endless noise in the marketing world — one that's built on authenticity, focus, and powerful human connection.Seth introduced his "Dream 50" system — a simple strategy that shows you how to enlist 50 micro-influencers to promote your business 50 weeks in a row. Think about not relying solely on paid ads or cold outreach, but instead of creating steady, intentional growth through real life relationships. It's the kind of strategy I wish more business owners would hear about. Certainly something we've focused on, in an increasingly loud world, have intimate conversations so that you can hear your clients.If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to build real momentum, this is the episode you need to hear.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Think your business should give you freedom—but it doesn't? Nathan Newberry reveals the hidden mistakes holding entrepreneurs back. Watch now to stop the cycle and start building a business that works for you.If you've ever felt stuck building a business that relies entirely on you, this episode is for you. I sat down with Nathan Newberry—discussing how to build personal brands that are scalable and provide the freedom that made you get into business in the first place. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, starting with one of the most important (and often overlooked) questions in business: Are you clear on your offer? Nathan talks about why that clarity is the foundation for everything—your message, your content, your funnels, and even your team. He shares that you want to be solving real problems, understanding what your audience needs, and building systems that scale from that place of service.Nathan also brought additional insights on AI. Some are resisting it and others are leaning way too hard into it. He offers a balanced perspective I wholeheartedly agree with—if used well, it can be a smart business partner. You want to train AI tools in your own voice and style, so the content still feels like you—but gets it done faster and more efficiently. That, paired with systems, playbooks, and media teams, this is what gives you the freedom to focus on your genius.If you're in that space where you know you're meant for more—but your business is still too dependent on your daily effort—this episode will give you a real pathway forward to get a head start on scaling.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Avoiding facing your fears keeps you stuck. Simon Emery explains how running from fearful experiences or childhood trauma limits your potential and growth. Unlock your true strength instead.Are you still carrying the emotional pain of your past — pain that was never really yours to begin with? In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, transformational coach Siamon Emery breaks down the truth about healing: don't focus on fixing broken pieces. You were never broken at all. Siamon challenges the idea that we need to “fix” ourselves to be happy. Instead, he explains why wholeness has always been inside us — we just forgot.Through his own journey of deep emotional work and trauma recovery, Siamon shows us that true strength comes from feeling everything — not from pretending we're fine. He explains the importance of self-regulation, how to create real safety within our bodies, and how revisiting our childhood pain with compassion, not judgment, can change everything.If you feel stuck in patterns that you can't break, or weighed down by old stories that you've carried too long, this conversation will be the wake-up call you need. Siamon's message is simple and liberating: you don't have to carry what isn't yours. Healing is possible and he shares a strategy to start doing it live on the show. A better, lighter life is waiting — and it starts with a choice you can make today.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Think more content equals more clients? Think again. Zack Zeller explains why slowing down and creating thoughtful, soulful content is the real key to business growth.
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Discover why culture can't wait. Norman Wolfe explains why your business isn't a machine—it's a living, breathing entity. Learn how leading with intention and building early culture is the key to sustainable growth.Your Business Is Alive: Building Culture as a Living Organization with Norman WolfeIn this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I speak with Norman Wolfe, the author of The Living Organization and founder of Quantum Leaders. Norman brings a radical and refreshing idea to the forefront: your business isn't a machine—it's a living, breathing entity. And just like any living thing, it must be nurtured, guided, and allowed to evolve.We unpack one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make—waiting too long to build culture. Norman shares why culture isn't a “later” thing; it's the soul of the business, and it starts from day one. The longer you treat your business as an extension of yourself, the harder it becomes to let it grow into something bigger. It's not a baby you control forever. It's a child that must be nurtured and allowed to mature.Norman outlines a new leadership model that moves beyond strategy and operations. Instead, it focuses on building self-maturing organizations where people are empowered to lead, decide, and act. We explore how leaders can create growth by shaping the energy of the business, setting the context, and trusting their teams.If you're a business owner or leader looking to grow your team and scale your impact, this episode will shift how you think about leadership, culture, and your role in creating an organization that thrives without your constant control. This is not just a leadership episode—it's a paradigm shift.
Running a business is like an endless game of catch-up—responding to trends, putting out fires, and always sprinting toward the next goal without ever feeling like you've arrived. It's exhausting to chase success when the definition keeps shifting, leaving little time to step back and see what's actually working. Sometimes, the problem isn't a lack of effort but a mindset that keeps you stuck in reaction mode instead of building with intention. Real growth happens when you stop running in circles and start creating on your own terms. Beate Chelette is the Growth Architect and founder of The Women's Code. She helps leaders maximize profits and scale their impact. With a background in creative industries, she specializes in aligning personal purpose with business strategy.

Ron Macklin reveals how our subconscious narratives directly impact our success, relationships, and business. Is the story in your head true or not? Find out today!Have you ever felt like an invisible force is holding you back and you can't quite put your finger on what it is? Chances are, it's the story you're telling yourself. Ron Macklin joins us in this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show for a deep and insightful conversation about how the subconscious narratives in our minds control our success, happiness, and overall well-being. From childhood experiences to societal expectations, these stories shape our beliefs about what's possible—and oftentimes we carry these stories for far too long. The good news is, we have the power to change them.Many of the struggles we face—fear of failure, imposter syndrome, procrastination—are rooted in outdated stories we've come to believe as truth. But are they really true? Ron helps us unpack the difference between fact and interpretation, showing how the human brain fills in gaps to make sense of the world, often in ways that limit us. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I'm not good enough," or "I'll never succeed," or there is something in your past that you suspect being at fault for the way your life is today, this episode will challenge you to rethink those beliefs and rewrite your inner dialogue for success.Reframing your mindset goes beyond thinking positive thoughts—you want to consciously choose the perspective that empowers you rather than an old story that holds you back in your distant past. Ron shares actionable strategies to help you identify the stories that no longer serve you, shift into a more constructive mindset, and build a life based on possibility rather than fear. Let's rewrite your story. Listen into this episode for the tools to step into a new, more empowering story.✨ Want more from Ron?

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Unlock the secrets to sales success with Steve Wallace. In this episode, we break down why leads aren't the key to winning in sales—and what you should focus on instead. In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, Steve Wallace, Chief Sales Nerd at Maverick App, brings clarity to the often misunderstood world of sales automation. Many entrepreneurs and business owners are overwhelmed by the idea of automation, thinking it's the magic key to unlocking sales success. However, Steve shows us that while automation can greatly enhance sales efforts, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it's a tool to help scale your business—when implemented correctly. This episode is a must-watch for anyone trying to make sales automation work for them.Steve dives deep into why so many people fail at using sales automation the right way. From relying too heavily on automation without first understanding their sales process, to missing the critical step of building relationships, many businesses make the mistake of thinking automation can replace human interaction. Steve explains that successful sales are built on trust and relationships, and while automation can assist in outreach, it is the personalized connection that closes deals.Through this conversation, you'll learn how to strike the right balance between using automation to scale your efforts and ensuring that your sales process still feels personal. Steve offers actionable insights into how automation can be leveraged to save you time, allowing you to focus on what matters: building real, lasting relationships with your prospects. He emphasizes that automation should work with, not replace, your sales strategy.To learn more about how automation can work for your business, visit MaverickApp. If you found the episode insightful, don't forget to leave us a comment or share your feedback.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Beate Chelette, known as the Growth Architect, about her journey from being a broke single mom immigrant with $135,000 in debt to selling her business to Bill Gates for millions. In this episode, Beate shares her hard-won wisdom on what it really takes to pressure-test your idea, build a solid foundation, and scale your business sustainably. She reveals the most common pitfalls she sees founders making at each stage and how to avoid them. KEY TAKEAWAYS I trained to be a photographer and ended up as photo editor at Elle Magazine. I always liked working with creative, non-conforming, colourful people who had great ideas and needed somebody to help them. I later moved to LA to do something new and that would put me in charge of my own life. After an economic recession I became an entrepreneur on my own with a 6-month-old baby. It was a rough road. I went through a lengthy and expensive lawsuit, my Dad died, multiple natural disasters impacted my clients and then 9/11 happened. I had to file for bankruptcy. Then I got a letter from the White House that put me in touch with a small business administration that helped with funding for small business owners. They helped my find a bank to restructure my debt into a single loan that freed up my line of credit. Three months later I broke even and 18 months later I’m the world leader in my category. Next thing I know I’m doing a transaction with Bill Gates after his company agreed to buy my business. I became a self-made multimillionaire 18 months after the worst moment of my life. As a creative, the reality is that you’re in your creativity 30% of the time and in business 70%. Creatives want to be in the creative world because they don’t want to be in the business side of things. But the successful creative has to be creative and they have to understand business. Somebody who isn’t creative and is only in the business only has to master one skill, so the creative has two strikes against them to be successful. The idea of being a Growth Architect came from the fact that when you’re building something you’re architecting it, you’re deciding where it’s going to be, how big it will be, which way it faces for the sunset/rise, what it’s built from, who it’s for, etc. I build the blueprint so you can build your house any way you want, but I advise you every step of the way. BEST MOMENTS ‘I left Germany to find adventure and I’ve not had a boring day since.’ ‘Before you need to be right, be very careful of what you’re getting yourself into. A fight for your life could end up being a fight for nothing.’ ‘A good idea is nothing unless somebody else wants to buy it.’ ‘If you look at AI and image creation, creativity has taken a new route. It’s no longer about taking something that exists and making it look good, it’s an imaginary world and a completely different business.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Beate Chelette is the Growth Architect and Founder of The Women's Code. She equips visionaries and leaders with proven strategies, blueprints and growth maps to improve business systems, strengthen leadership skills and scale their impact. Beate believes success resides at the intersection of strategy and spirituality, a philosophy she infuses into her work as the Growth Architect. Her mission is to empower others to embrace strategic thinking, unlock hidden opportunities, and build sustainable business models, especially in challenging times.
