Al Gordon welcomes Chuck and Laura to share their inspiring real estate journey. After joining Lifestyles Unlimited as Preferred Members, they fully embraced both the mentoring and vendor programs to guide their first deal. They purchased a property for $99K and invested $83K in renovations. The property later appraised at $275K, resulting in an impressive $93K equity capture. With just $15K out of pocket, their return on investment soared to 500%. Despite higher interest rates, the property still generates $105 in monthly cash flow, proving that equity capture and positive cash flow are achievable—even in today's market. Click to Listen Now

Breaking Free of Your Boxes   Unlocking Freedom Through Wealth: How Betsy Pepine Built a Real Estate Empire Rooted in Debt-Free Living What if the secret to wealth wasn't just making more—but making smart, intentional choices with what you already have? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Betsy Pepine shares the remarkable story of how she went from a frugal childhood in New Jersey to becoming a best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and leader of one of the top real estate brokerages in the U.S. Her philosophy? Live below your means, stay out of debt, and use money as a tool for freedom—not flash. Keep reading to discover how Betsy's old-school money values led to next-level success.   Key Takeaways: Freedom Is the Ultimate Currency. Betsy doesn't chase money for status—it's all about freedom of choice. Whether it's the freedom to give generously, pivot professionally, or sleep soundly at night, financial independence gives her control over her destiny. Debt-Free Living Is a Superpower. Raised by parents who shunned debt (aside from a mortgage), Betsy never bought anything she couldn't pay for in cash. This mindset helped her grow her wealth without compromising her peace of mind—even when financial experts told her to leverage more. Entrepreneurship Isn't About Money—It's About Impact. From her first childhood hustle to building Pepine Realty, Betsy always had an entrepreneurial drive. But her motivation wasn't the money—it was about creating options and helping others, especially families in housing crisis through her nonprofit, Pepine Gives. Lead with Intention, Not Ego. Despite her high-profile endorsements from Barbara Corcoran, Dave Ramsey, and Glenn Beck, Betsy remains grounded. Her approach to leadership, family, and business is rooted in humility, service, and vision.   Money Learnings: Betsy learned about money by observing her parents, who lived frugally and prioritized saving over spending. They avoided debt at all costs—except for a mortgage, which they paid off quickly. Though she thought they were poor, it was a deliberate choice to live below their means and fund their children's education debt-free. This instilled in her a deep respect for financial discipline, a preference for peace of mind over leverage, and the belief that money is best used as a tool for freedom.   About Betsy Pepine: Betsy Pepine is a real estate powerhouse, educator, and philanthropist. As the founder and broker-owner of Pepine Realty, she has led her team to national recognition, including repeated listings on the Inc. 5000, Top 50 Florida Companies to Watch, and Florida Trend's Best Companies to Work For. Beyond her brokerage, Betsy runs a real estate school, a title company, and a property management firm. She's a Wharton MBA, a Duke economics grad, and founder of Pepine Gives, a nonprofit helping at-risk families with housing.   Key Discussion Points: How childhood perceptions of money shape adult financial behavior. Why Betsy never cared about keeping up with the Joneses—even when she could. The misunderstood relationship between wealth and worth. How to build businesses aligned with your values, not just profits. Why mentorship from legends like Barbara Corcoran matters (and how she earned it). Practical tools for keeping your team aligned and inspired.   Conclusion: In a world obsessed with appearances and fast money, Betsy Pepine is a breath of fresh air—proof that timeless principles still win. Her journey shows us that when you align your values with your financial decisions, wealth becomes not just a number—but a life of purpose, peace, and power.   Links: https://betsypepine.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betsypepine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betsypepine/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/betsypepine   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Hyundai's fifth-generation Santa Fe hit dealer lots last year and ushered in a new era for Hyundai's people mover. The latest generation Santa Fe moves away from the rounder styling of the past four generations of Santa Fe and moves into the growing trend of boxy SUVs. That boxy, Land Rover-esq shell also helps hide a larger footprint. The new Santa Fe is 2.5 inches taller and 1.7 inches longer, and rides on a longer wheelbase than the previous model. This extra size also translates to additional space on the inside, as you'd expect. Hyundai chose a turbocharged 2.5-liter I4 to power every new Santa Fe, which is mated to an eight-speed automatic. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and puts it through its paces. Carone takes you on a guided tour of the '25 Santa Fe and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Carone takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Carone chats with host Wesley Wren about the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe, the competition, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the '25 Hyundai Santa Fe special.

Omnivore Recordings co-founder and four-time Gramny-winning producer Cheryl Pawelski has figured out how to do what she loves for a living. She went from obsessing about music in Milwaukee to having great adventures in the "floater pool" at Capitol Records in Los Angeles. With stints at Rhino and Concord as well, she oversaw ambitious reissues by, among others, the Band, Big Star, the Smithereens, the Beach Boys, Pat Benatar, Nina Simone and the Miles Davis Quintet. Her long association with Wilco has included deluxe boxes for Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (which won a Grammy) and, earlier this year, A Ghost Is Born. She won another Grammy for the 2023 7-CD set Written In Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos. She recounts it all with the passion of a fan, even as she deals with the challenges of running a record label and the recent loss of her Altadena home in the Southern California wildfires.

Join us for a riveting conversation on Pagecast as Sewela Langeni sits down with Iris Mwanza to explore her gripping debut novel, The Lion's Den. This legal thriller set in Zambia's turbulent political landscape tackles themes of justice, gender equality, and systemic oppression. More about the book: Rookie lawyer Grace Zulu does not give up easily. She escaped an arranged marriage to put herself through university. Now she's got her first case. Her client is young Willbess ‘Bessy' Mulenga, who has been arrested for offences ‘against nature'. Bessy works in a men-only bar, loves to dance, to wear dresses and live freely. But in 1990s Zambia, following your own identity can get you beaten, jailed or even worse. Grace is determined to get Bessy out of custody. Then her terrified, bruised client goes missing without a trace. She knows something bad has happened and that someone is trying to cover it up. Along with the most unlikely group of allies, Grace must take on powerful enemies at the highest levels – even risk her own safety – to get to the truth. The whole truth. A debut novel that soars with passion and humanity, The Lions' Den is a moving story of prejudice, corruption, injustice, courage and solidarity. It shows us that no cause is ever a lost one. More about Iris and Sewela: Iris Mwanza is a Zambian-American writer. Now Deputy Director of Women in Leadership in the Gender Equality Division of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, she has worked as a corporate lawyer in both Zambia and the US.

But is it really that simple? And can you change boxes over time? We break down the psychology behind first impressions in dating, whether it's possible to shift from casual to committed, and what really makes someone decide we're ‘relationship material'. Topics Covered: What is the “3 Box Theory” of dating Can someone change the box they're in—or are they stuck?

Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to bring in some extra revenue—even if you don't add any new subscribers. In this episode, I'm sharing two super simple, super effective ways you can generate quick cash flow this season by creating limited-time, one-time boxes your audience will love. These strategies work, whether you want to clear out inventory or make the most of gift-giving opportunities. Spring is the perfect time to launch limited-time boxes to bring in extra revenue and keep your audience engaged. Two of my favorite spring offers are Mother's Day Gift Boxes and Spring Cleaning Mystery Boxes. They're easy to curate, fun to promote, and they provide an injection of cash into my business. One-time boxes serve a specific purpose in your business, giving you a quick revenue boost without the need for new subscribers.  One-time boxes are: Easy to market–seasonal urgency or limited quantities A great way to re-engage and re-energize your email list Perfect for testing new themes or audiences A low-commitment way for new customers to try your brand One-time boxes require you to temporarily shift your focus from recurring subscriptions to creating hype and excitement around these one-time purchases. Mother's Day is like Christmas in May for your business. Make the most of this gift-giving holiday and create one-time boxes. Some examples that have worked great for me and members of Launch Your Box include:  Self-care for moms Mom's Night In “Treat Yourself” boxes for moms to buy for themselves (because yes, moms will buy for themselves) Sarah's One-Time Mother's Day Box Pro tips: Start promoting in mid-late April Build a waitlist and create urgency Offer themed packaging and gift notes Ship in early May– make order deadlines clear Price one-time boxes similar to your subscription price or average order value (AOV) Turn extra inventory into profit—without running a clearance sale. Mystery boxes: Create FOMO and excitement Let you surprise and delight customers Help clear shelves of inventory and bring a revenue boost to  your bottom line Spring Mystery Boxes Pro Tips: Curate using past box items or extra stock Offer 1–2 price points Include at least one high-value item in each box Make value messaging very clear: e.g., “$100 worth of products for $50” Marketing these seasonal boxes doesn't need to be complicated. Keep it simple and show up.   Go LIVE on social media to build excitement and show sneak peeks Email your list—your list is your best sales tool Social media content: unboxings, packing videos, behind-the-scenes Paid ads to warm audiences for last-minute sales Pick one of these seasonal box ideas and:: Set a launch date Build a waitlist Start planning your promo schedule Grab your notebook and join me on this episode as we talk through Mother's Day Boxes, Spring Cleaning Mystery Boxes, and how to use both to re-engage your audience, boost sales, and build even more excitement around your subscription box business.  Join me in all the places:   Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

Barry Ritholtz, founder and CIO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and host of the hit Bloomberg podcast Masters in Business, returns to Boxes and Lines to talk about his new book, How Not to Invest. Rather than presenting a traditional “how-to” manual, the book emphasizes what investors should not do, covering bad ideas, bad numbers, and bad behaviors. He joins Ronan and JR to break down everything from sketchy media advice to the famous bad trades of industry pros, why he believes market forecasts should be taken with a grain of salt, and why doing less might actually make you a better investor.

The artistic heart of Dublin beats strongly through two remarkable conversations showcasing how creativity connects communities both locally and globally.Dr. David Guion, retiring Executive Director of the Dublin Arts Council, reflects on transforming Dublin into a community with more than 70 public art installations ranging from large-scale commissioned works to interactive river boxes – artist-created vessels that combine geocaching with artistic treasure hunts. With a philosophy that "we do things with the community instead of for the community," David has fostered participatory experiences that encourage public dialogue with artists."Public art is controversial," he acknowledges candidly. "It comes down to whether someone likes or doesn't like something." This honesty about art's divisive nature hasn't deterred the Council but rather inspired them to create programming that fosters curiosity and creative exploration. From cultivating international relationships in Japan to developing Dublin's first Public Art Master Plan, David leaves a legacy of artistic growth that spans generations.Writer Erin Boggs introduces us to "A Journey of Iceland - from Darkness to Light," an immersive exhibition at the Dublin Arts Council through April 25th. This multisensory experience combines Boggs' poetry with artwork by Icelandic artist Einar Orn and music by Kaktus Einarsson. The exhibition has gained impressive recognition, along with Erin's book appearing in Oscar nominee gift bags! Dublin residents can purchase signed copies at the Arts Council, complete with QR codes to download the music for a full immersive experience at home.Whether exploring Dublin's river boxes with your family or experiencing Iceland through poetry and art, these creative endeavors remind us how art transcends cultural and geographic boundaries. Discover these artistic treasures and more by visiting in person or DublinArts.org today!

In this episode of the I Love Coaching podcast, hosts Adam Roach and Jess Webber explore the concept of breaking out of personal and professional constraints, which they refer to as 'boxes.' They discuss the importance of self-awareness, energy audits, and authenticity in finding joy and fulfillment in life and work. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize when one is in a box, the fear associated with leaving it, and the steps to take towards a more joyful existence. takeawaysMany people are unaware they are in a box that limits their joy.Self-awareness is crucial for recognizing what brings you joy.The box can feel like a cage, restricting growth and potential.Breaking out of a box requires clarity on personal strengths and joy.Authenticity plays a key role in personal fulfillment and joy.Fear of financial instability often keeps people in their boxes.Recognizing energy drains can help identify personal boxes.Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur can feel risky but rewarding.The promise of a bigger box can keep individuals complacent.Finding the right vehicle for your passions is essential for joy.

And it's reached the stage where the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has come back down to around 13. Steve D's been looking at the author roster and Steve W's been paying attention to the academic side. Is there anything there to convince them to get buying again?Steve W promised a REIT, so here's Tritax Big Box. The stock comes with a 5.4% dividend yield company owns and leases warehouses and industrial distribution centres.REITs can often find growth difficult, but net rental income is up 24% compared to the previous year. So why is Steve not so convinced by this one?The stock market liked the latest results from Judges Scientific and so did Steve D. Steve W didn't, though, a revenue drop is enough to leave him disappointed. There's a lot of scope for growth from this one and investors should think about whether they can look past a cyclical downturn.

This recognition represents a significant milestone for a portfolio strategy that has been a cornerstone topic throughout Risk Parity Radio's 400+ episodes.The heart of the episode focuses on answering thoughtful listener questions about portfolio management techniques. Randy inquires about rebalancing frequency and whether to participate in Fidelity's securities lending program for gold ETFs. Frank explains that while rebalancing more frequently than once a year generally doesn't improve performance, coordinating semi-annual rebalancing with tax planning can be advantageous. As for securities lending, Frank shares his personal experience that these programs work smoothly but typically generate minimal income—setting realistic expectations for listeners considering this option.A particularly detailed discussion explores the nuances between traditional long-term treasury funds and STRIPS funds (GOVZ, ZROZ, EDV). Frank clarifies that STRIPS-based ETFs typically move at approximately 1.5 times the rate of standard long-term treasury funds when interest rates change, effectively functioning as a form of leverage. This characteristic makes them valuable tools for tax-loss harvesting or creating more efficient allocations by achieving similar interest rate sensitivity with smaller position sizes. Rather than focusing on market timing for transitions between these instruments, Frank emphasizes coordinating such moves with broader tax management strategies—practical advice that demonstrates how risk parity investors can implement sophisticated portfolio techniques while maintaining tax efficiency.Want to connect with other Risk Parity Radio listeners?

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss what boxes the Steelers still need to check (other than the obvious one at QB) to fill out their roster. Could their interest in South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori signal an end to Minkah Fitzpatrick or Deshon Elliot's tenure? Why haven't they added more pieces to an offensive line that has lost multiple pieces? What is the harm in waiting around on Aaron Rodgers?

What is different is that you get Fast Break Exclusive: Autos, Rookie Autos, Base and Base Legend, Parallels in a variety of colors. Autos appear to be s-cker. I saw some cards on Bob The Card Collector and I think the cards look prey neat, I actually like the lile gold fruit loop bubbles on the cards.

The throwback-style set from Upper Deck draws much of its inspira-on from the early days of E-X — more specifically 1996-97 E-X 2000 Basketball. Similar to recent Metal Universe sets, inserts carry big designs like those of the late 1990s. It's also a product where autographs are on the checklist but they're not guaranteed. Design-wise, Upper Deck is going with the cloudy backdrop the original set is known for. Although not in every box, autographs do combine to land approximately four per case. That's about every third hobby box. One place to find them is Autographics, a name synonymous with both SkyBox and early autographs as a whole. Rookies are 1:140 packs while veterans are 1:280.

It's tax season crunch time, so we are resharing a timely episode debunking the 1120-S tax return. In this episode, Brian will walk you through the S-Corporation income tax return to help you better understand what you're filing and hopefully catch mistakes before it's too late. He provides a section-by-section analysis of Form 1120-S and highlights key areas that business owners and tax professionals make mistakes. Episode Highlights Part 1: Heading, Income, Deductions, Tax and Payments Most of this information is drawn from your business's Profit and Loss Statement. Here's a breakdown of what's on the first page: Calendar year: The very top of the form asks for the calendar year. If the corporation has a calendar year-end, leave this blank. If a fiscal year or short year put in the appropriate dates. Address: Underneath the calendar year, the form asks for a name and address. Use the name set forth in the charter or other legal documents, such as your Employer Identification Number (EIN) letter. Item A: Located to the left of the address, Item A asks for your S election effective date. You should have a letter from the IRS (CP 261) with your S-Corp starting date. This date should stay the same every year. Item B: Your business activity code. This code shows the IRS exactly what you do. Item C: Item C only applies if you have assets of $10 million or more. Most of the time, Item C will not be checked. Item D: Put your EIN in Item D. Make sure to verify it's correct before you file your form. Item E: Your date of incorporation should match the articles of incorporation. This date may or may not be the same date as your S-election. Like the S-election date, the date of incorporation won't change. Item F: Total assets at the end of the year. Item G: If the corporation is electing to be an S-Corp beginning with the current filing tax year, check the appropriate box. If the S-Corp did not already file the S-Election, attach Form 2553 with the return. Item H: These boxes should be self-explanatory. Check the boxes that apply. Item I: Enter the number of shareholders in the firm (e.g. yourself and your partners). Item J: Most of the time, Item J will not be checked. If you believe that one of the Item J items applies, follow up with your tax accountant. Income: Report gross revenue your business has earned for the year and any additional income or interest income that you may have incurred. Only report trade or business income. Do not list rental income, portfolio income, or tax exempt income (those go on your Schedule K). Expenses: Report all deductions on your Profit and Loss statement. Pay special attention to the following lines: Line 7: Compensation of officers should have something on it. S-Corporations must pay shareholder/employee reasonable compensation for services rendered, and failing to put reasonable compensation could lead to an IRS audit. Also included on this line are fringe benefits, including employer contributions to health plans and group term life insurance, for shareholders/employees owning more than 2% of the corporation stock. If your S-Corp has total receipts of $500,000 or more, you'll need to attach Form 1125-E to explain what was paid to each officer. Line 8: Salary and wages paid to employees (other than officers) of the corporation. Line 17: An S-Corporation can deduct contributions made for its employees under a qualified pension, profit sharing, annuity, SEP plan, Simple plan, or any other retirement deferred compensation plan. This includes shareholders/employees owning more than 2% of the corporation stock. Line 18: Employee fringe benefits provided to officers and employees owning less than 2% go on this line, such as health insurance, disability insurance, and educational assistance. Line 19: Line 19 includes any other deductions. There should be an attached statement, and it should match your profit and loss. The numbers should be close to your Profit and Loss statement. Taxes and payments: In general, an S-Corporation does not pay taxes at the corporate level, so this section will be blank. Signature: It's important to sign the return only after verifying all of the information, including the following sections. Part 2: Schedule B This section is mostly self-explanatory questions. Make sure to read and understand each question. Below are two lines to pay special attention to: Box 1: This easy-to-miss box can change your entire return if you're not careful, since it's where you select whether you're a cash or accrual basis taxpayer. Once you choose an accounting method, you generally cannot change without approval from the IRS. Box 2: Here is where you explain what you do. Part B is an either/or question, so state whether you sell products or services. Also, if you hire contractors, say yes to question 14 -- and hopefully you got out your 1099 forms by January 31. Part 3: Schedules K and K-1 Schedule K reports the pro rata share items in total for the Corporation. Schedule K-1, which you receive in your personal name, reports the percentage of pro rata share items allocable to each shareholder.  Lines 1-17 on Schedule K correspond to Boxes 1-17 on Schedule K-1. Most items on Schedules K and K-1 are self-explanatory and come from other parts of the return. Part 4: Schedule L  This is where many taxpayers make a mistake. Schedule L matches your business' balance sheet and should agree with your books and records. If it doesn't, find out why before you file. The first two columns match what your accounts were at the beginning of the year and should match what the accounts were at the end of last year. If this is your first year filing an 1120-S return, these two columns should be blank. The second two columns are for what the accounts had on December 31 of the previous year and will carry over to next year's return. Some of the most common assets on Schedule L are: Line 1: Write the amount of cash in your bank account on the last day of the year. Line 7: Loans to shareholders are loans from the corporation to the shareholder. Keep in mind, these loans need to be documented and should have a repayment schedule and interest rate. Line 10a: Buildings and other depreciable assets are fixed assets that the business owns that have been depreciated, such as real estate, furniture, or machinery  Some of the most common liabilities on Schedule L are: Line 18: Other current liabilities are expenses incurred at the end of the year but not paid until January of the next year. Current expenses often include wages, state taxes, federal taxes, and payroll taxes payable at the end of the year.  Line 19: Loans from shareholders are loans from the shareholder to the corporation. As with the other loans, these loans should be documented and include a repayment schedule and interest rate. Line 22: The par value or stated value of the capital stock issued by the corporation. This amount stays the same each year unless the S-Corporation issues additional stock after incorporation. The corporate charter or minutes should identify the stock. Line 23: Enter the beginning and ending balances of additional paid-in capital. This includes the amount contributed to the S-Corp by shareholders for which the corporation did not issue stock or amounts contributed in excess of the stated or par value. Line 24: This section is especially tricky. You should base the retained earnings on the S-Corporation's books and records. Most of the time, retained earnings should match the Accumulated Adjustments Account (AAA), other adjustments account (OAA), and previously taxed income (PTI) balances on Schedule M-2. Line 27: This line represents the total liability and shareholders equity. This line must match line 15. If you answered “yes” to question 11 on Schedule B that your total receipts were less than $250,000 and total assets were less than $250,000, then you aren't required to file a Schedule L. However, it may be beneficial to file Schedule L anyway because it will be crucial for future balance sheets. Part 5: Schedules M-1 and M-2 Schedule M-1 helps explain discrepancies between the books and your tax return. This section should explain any differences you notice.  Some common items reported on Schedule M-2 include: Meal expenses (100% on books, 50% on taxes) Entertainment (100% on books, 0% on taxes) Life insurance premium expense (100% on books, 0% on taxes) Certain fines and penalties (100% on books, 0% on taxes) Political contributions (100% on books, 0% on taxes) Book depreciation expense (100% on books, 0% on taxes) Tax depreciation expense (%0 on books, 100% on taxes) Tax-exempt income (100% on books, %0 on taxes)  Schedule M-2 tracks the income and losses and separately states items that the shareholder should report on their tax return.

Are you relying solely on automations to recover failed payments? If so, you are losing money and experiencing unnecessary churn in your subscription box business. Business is personal. Recovering failed payments needs more than just automation - it needs a personal touch. Your personal touch.  Think about how much time, energy, and money you spend getting new subscribers. How much time and energy are you willing to spend to keep them? In my subscription business, we use a combination of automations and personal outreach to follow up on failed payments. The result? Each month we recoup 98% of our bounced payments.  Keep in mind, most failed payments are not due to subscribers wanting to cancel or intentionally not paying. Credit cards expire and need to be updated. Other things happen that unintentionally cause payments to fail. Assume subscribers want to stay with you and just need help updating their info.  Every subscription box business should have a failed payment automation set up. You can do this directly in your subscription platform or CRM. The goal is to recover as many payments as possible through automation, reducing the time spent manually recouping payments via personal outreach.  The automation process we use in my subscription box business is set up like this:  Payment Run #1 - failed payment  Email #1 sent - something like “There was an error processing your payment for XXX subscription. If you need to update your card, please do so at this link. Your payment will run again in 12 hours.”  We aren't accusing them of anything. We blame the error on ourselves and direct them to update the payment if they need to.  We create urgency by letting them know the payment will run again in 12 hours.  Payment Run #2 - failed payment  Email #2 is very similar to Email #1 - they may not have seen the first email yet.  Payment will retry in 24 hours.  Payment #3 - failed payment  Email #3 - 36 hours after initial payment has run. They've likely seen one of the first two emails.  The first two emails are text only, this email includes an image.  “Hi Subscriber. We are busy personalizing and packing all our subscriptions and want to make sure you get yours on time. If you need to update your card, please do so at this link. If you need help with that or have an issue, please hit reply and let us know how we can help.” This email includes a picture of the team packing a box.  Payment runs again in 48 hours - they have time to reach out to customer service before the payment runs again.  At this point, we start working through the list of remaining failed payments with personal touch points.  Personal email  Personal text  Now we're ready to run one last automation.  Email #4 - on day five of failed payment  Last chance email “Boxes are shipping and we want to make sure you get a Monogram Box this month. Please let me know how I can help.”  We follow this plan every month. And every month, we recoup 98% of our failed payments.  Business is personal. Don't forget the importance of a personal connection point when working to retain your customers. Business is also business. Don't leave money on the table. Following up on bounced payments reduces involuntary churn and retains more recurring revenue.  Join me for this episode as I talk you through the automations combined with personal touches process I use to recoup 98% of bounced payments every month.   Important Links:  6 in 60 Workshop  Join me in all the places:  Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

She reveals how society has traditionally conditioned women to be valued for attributes other than wealth creation, and how this conditioning can create internal conflict for ambitious women. With refreshing candor, Leila discusses how she initially thought she needed to suppress certain aspects of herself—being a good wife, caring about her appearance—to be taken seriously in business.Leila's perspective offers a liberating alternative: what if success means defining yourself as an "and" rather than an "or"? Her journey demonstrates that refusing to fragment your identity actually enhances your effectiveness as a leader and entrepreneur. While acknowledging she faces judgment regularly, Leila shares how she's found freedom in authenticity, staying true to her values rather than conforming to others' expectations. Listen to discover how embracing your full self—contradictions and all—might be the key to unlocking your greatest potential in business and life.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
