You didn't start your microschool to become a marketing expert… But without students, your vision can't grow.

 For a long time, I made myself smaller online. I stopped sharing opinions, tried to please everyone, and turned into a beige version of myself. In this raw solo episode, I'm sharing how I found my voice again by creating content that felt good instead of "strategic." I experimented my way back to the content that truly lights me up, and converts. If you've been playing it safe, not showing up consistently or feeling stuck with your content, you need this story.PS Are you curious what your Instagram profile says about you?

  Today on the podcast, I am chatting to Rich Webster, who is a designer, entrepreneur, mentor, and consultant. He helps other creative entrepreneurs work less, and I've personally been a fan of his work and podcast for a few years now. We're talking all about how to work less, but as you'll hear, we dive into so much more, from focusing your business to the real impact of mental clutter. I really hope you enjoy this one!   Key Takeaways The 1% Brain Power Myth: Rich explained that the difference between dedicating 1% of your brainpower to a task versus 0% isn't just 1% – it feels more like 100%. Letting go of lingering business responsibilities, even small ones, can free up an enormous amount of mental space. Diversification as Distraction: Contrary to popular advice, Rich argues that diversification can often be a distraction, especially for solopreneurs. Narrowing your focus to the one or two things that provide the highest leverage can be far more effective for growth. Expert vs. Marketing Business: When looking to grow, solopreneurs often burn out trying to excel at both high-level client fulfilment and extensive marketing. Rich suggests choosing a path: either an "expert business" (scaling with price by becoming a sought-after specialist) or a "marketing business" (scaling with volume through products that don't require your direct time for fulfilment). Systemise Your "Non-Genius" Work: Identify your highest leverage tasks (for Rich, it's thinking and writing) and systemise everything else. This involves creating standard operating procedures, templates, and delegating, allowing you to spend more time in your zone of genius. The "One In, One Out" Rule for Your Time: Inspired by a minimalist philosophy for the home, Rich suggests that if you bring a new commitment or task (like starting Morning Pages) into your life, you should consciously remove something else to make space for it.     Episode Highlights 01:00: Rich shares his powerful origin story, touching on his journey from addiction to becoming an entrepreneur and how that shapes his perspective. 09:00: The surprising mental cost of keeping even seemingly small business commitments active; that final leap to 0% makes a huge difference. 11:00: Rich presents his compelling argument that "diversification is distraction" and why focusing your efforts is often the smarter move for sustainable growth. 17:00: An exploration of the two distinct business models solopreneurs can adopt to avoid burnout: the "expert business" scaling with price, or the "marketing business" scaling with volume. 46:00: Applying a minimalist household rule to your business and time: if you decide to add a new activity or commitment, what will you remove to make space for it?   About the Guest Rich Webster is a designer, entrepreneur, mentor, and consultant who helps creative entrepreneurs work less and achieve more.

Ever feel like you're pouring endless effort into your e-commerce store with minimal results? You might be focusing on the wrong things entirely.Scott Austin, owner of Jade Puma and host of the Shopify Solutions podcast, delivers a wake-up call for entrepreneurs stuck in the trap of website obsession. With decades of experience working with businesses from startups to industry giants, Scott cuts through the noise with a refreshingly honest take: "Your website is not your business. Your business is your customer acquisition strategy."The hard truth is that entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. While countless YouTube videos promise "start your Shopify store in 3 minutes," Scott reveals why success actually takes years of consistent effort and strategic pivoting. He shares why immigrant entrepreneurs often succeed, how the "four-hour work week" concept has been rendered obsolete, and why understanding your customers' decision-making process is the secret to conversion rate optimization.Scott explains why Shopify has widened its lead as the undisputed platform for brands under $10 million, offering practical advice for leveraging its capabilities. He outlines a three-pronged approach to customer acquisition that works for new stores: start with SEO from day one, implement Google Shopping ads, and develop a remarketing strategy to stay top-of-mind.Most importantly, Scott challenges store owners to stop treating their websites as product catalogs and instead transform them into decision-making engines that guide customers to the perfect purchase. This shift in mindset—from simply displaying products to solving customer problems—separates thriving e-commerce businesses from those that struggle to gain traction.Whether you're just starting your e-commerce journey or feeling stuck after years in business, Scott's practical insights will help you focus on what truly matters: doing the right work, not just working hard.

Leaders are built on purpose, not on PR. In this powerful and heart-opening episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Kevin Edwards, President—and soon-to-be CEO—of Real Leaders, a leadership platform that champions purpose-driven CEOs and companies making an impact. Kevin and I dive into what it means to lead with authenticity, how Real Leaders is challenging the Forbes status quo, and why being seen as more than just a title matters—because behind every CEO, founder, or entrepreneur is a human being with struggles, dreams, and a purpose worth pursuing. From his humble beginnings as an intern to becoming the driving force behind a global media brand, Kevin shares his journey, the lessons he's learned interviewing 500+ leaders (including Gary Vee, Jay Shetty, and Mel Robbins), and how his mission is rooted in one powerful belief: that leaders who show up authentically transform lives. What We Talk About • Why Real Leaders is redefining what it means to be an “impact company” • The six elements of real impact using their I.M.P.A.C.T. framework • Kevin's personal journey from intern to CEO—and how purpose guided every step • The role of authenticity in leadership (especially in an AI-driven world) • Why leadership must be seen as a vocation, not just a title • The challenge of showing up as your real self even when it's uncomfortable • How to empower people to believe in themselves through your leadership Why You Should Listen This episode is a raw, real, and uplifting conversation that reminds us: being a great leader isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating environments where others can believe in themselves, grow, and thrive. Whether you're a seasoned CEO, a new manager, or someone thinking about your next chapter, Kevin's insights will inspire you to lead with more heart, vision, and courage. Key Takeaways 1. Leadership is a Vocation: We must start treating leadership like we do engineering or accounting—it requires intentional learning, accountability, and refinement. 2. Authenticity Wins: In a world increasingly filtered through AI, the leaders who will stand out are those who keep it real. 3. Impact is More Than ESG: Real Leaders uses a powerful I.M.P.A.C.T. framework—Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration, Transforming lives—to spotlight leaders who go beyond profit to serve purpose. 4. Build Your Brand and Your Business: Your personal growth as a leader can and should align with your company's growth. Don't let others tell you otherwise. 5. Great Leaders Help Others See Themselves Differently: The most powerful leadership moves are often the ones that help others feel seen, valued, and capable of more. Quotable Moments “A real leader is someone who helps people see themselves in a better future—and makes the world around them relevant to that vision.” — Kevin Edwards “Leadership isn't about being liked by everyone. It's about being authentic, accountable, and helping others rise—even when it's messy.” — Kerry Siggins Resources Mentioned • Real Leaders Magazine and Membership • Real Leaders Podcast Support Reflect Forward This episode is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textTired of pouring money into digital ads with questionable returns? Imagine commanding a room of your ideal clients for 30-45 minutes, positioning yourself as the trusted expert they need. That's the power of strategic speaking for brand building, and it's a game-changer for founders and business leaders.In this illuminating conversation with Blair Bryant Nichols, owner of BBN Creative Management, we unlock the secrets to leveraging speaking opportunities as your most potent marketing tool. Blair reveals why the traditional conference booth approach pales in comparison to securing a speaking slot, where you gain undivided audience attention and accelerate the know-like-trust curve that converts prospects into clients.One of the most surprising insights? Stop speaking at industry events dominated by your peers and competitors. Instead, identify where your ideal clients gather and position yourself as the singular expert voice in that room. "If you're in HR tech, don't just go to HR tech conferences—go to finance events and be the one HR tech speaker," Blair advises, sharing how this strategic positioning dramatically increases your stand-out factor and conversion potential.For those hesitant to step onto stage, Blair offers practical wisdom for overcoming stage fright and building your speaking platform, even without prior experience. Learn how authentic storytelling creates emotional connections that drive business relationships, and discover specific techniques to make your message memorable long after your presentation ends. From crafting compelling narratives to understanding audience psychology, this episode provides a roadmap for transforming speaking engagements into a powerful brand-building engine.Ready to amplify your voice and authority? Connect with Blair on Instagram or LinkedIn at Blair Bryant Nichols for a free 30-minute strategy call about your speaking journey.

In this episode, Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Nikki Nash, Investor, Entrepreneur, and Author, about the power of taking shots and making bold moves. She shares how she learned to take a leap of faith—not just in her career but in building her personal brand. Because let's be real, success isn't just about what you do at work; it's about who you are and how you position yourself. Nikki dives into why relationship-building is key—people need to know you, not just your team. Visibility matters, and if no one knows what you bring to the table, opportunities can pass you by. She also drops some serious wisdom on money-making as a skill and how success isn't random—it's strategic. One of her most powerful tips? Your calendar should reflect your goals. If someone looked at your schedule, they should see exactly what you're working toward. It's all about staging your day with intention. Get ready to take notes—you won't want to miss this conversation. Nikki is a veteran marketer, long-time entrepreneur, and speaker who has helped business that generate $35M in annual revenue down to coaches making their first dollar. Before entrepreneurship, she worked at various companies where she had experience working with such brands as Intel, InStyle, Travel + Leisure, and Louis Vuitton MOET Hennessy.  If you found this episode inspiring, please subscribe, like, and leave a comment.   MORE ABOUT NIKKI NASH: Website: Nikki Nash LinkedIn: Nikki Nash Podcast: The Market Your Genius Podcast Book: Market Your Genius   ABOUT SWEET BUT FEARLESS: Website - Sweet but Fearless LinkedIn - Sweet but Fearless
