In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Connor Smallwood, owner of Smallwood Eye Associates in Gahanna, OH. Dr. Smallwood has built a practice that empowers his life outside the business. His story is a powerful one. Key Takeaways:Buying an established practice gave him a head start with the patient base especially a base that was loyal. Spending time in the practice by himself allowed the practice to slowly transition before the founder retired.Staff is the engine that makes the practice run. Retaining the staff following the transition was critical. Bringing the staff along on the changes over time made a difference.Despite how successful the practice was, there was significant opportunity to improve aspects of the business. Taking it slow, getting one change right at a time was key to bringing staff and patients along on the journey.Building a business doesn't mean you have to grind all day, every day. While that's certainly an option, building a successful business should empower you to live the life you want to live within and outside the business.Prioritizing opportunities outside the office requires prioritization of processes and efficiency within the office such that you're maximizing both the people and time in the office.What Connor is reading:Wild At Heart by John EldredgePractice Advantage Reading List** Don't miss out on an extra $15 rebate for all commercial VSP Eye Exams this year - with $15 extended through June of 2026, and $10 thru the end of next year!

SEASON 2: Ep1 - Permission To Take Centre-Stage: Leverage a Personal Brand To Build Your Business in The Age of AI This podcast was formally called 'The Course Creators Podcast', now rebranded as 'THE SARAH CORDINER SHOW'... and this is the FIRST episode of this new season... Just as I have obnoxiously named a whole podcast after myself following building a successful personal brand that I leveraged to create a business valued at over $15 million - you can too. In this episode, I'm going to share tips with you (and permission), to take centre stage as the brand and the human behind your busines, as it is amplified by the incoming wave of AI amplification. Episode 1: Your Business Will Only Grow To The Level You Are Willing To Be Seen In this first episode of The Sarah Cordiner Show, I am ripping the bandaid off something most business owners secretly struggle with but rarely talk about out loud. Visibility. Not the cute “post twice a week on socials” kind of visibility. The kind where you put your actual face, name, story, opinions and personality out front and centre and say: “This is my show. This is my work. This is who I am.” I share why I made the shift from The Course Creators Podcast to The Sarah Cordiner Show, why it took me nearly seven years to give myself permission to do it, and why your business will only grow to the level at which you are willing to be seen. The real difference now is not the tool you use, but the way you make people feel. Your energy, your stories, your quirks, your full unapologetic you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your business will only grow to the level you are willing to be seen, and why hiding is now a direct income limiter.Why a strong personal brand is more critical than ever in the age of AI generated content.The difference between smart evolution and chaotic pivoting, and how to know when it is time to iterate, refine or rebrand.How to start with a clear, tight niche at the beginning of your business, then add “rings on the spider web” as your audience and authority grow.How my journey from corporate educator to course creator to tech founder can mirror your own staged evolution.Why your appearance, age or “hotness” have nothing to do with credibility or authority, and what actually builds a powerful reputation instead.How trolls, critics and “Janet next door” often reflect their own discomfort, and why your focus must stay on the people you are here to help.Why AI is rapidly becoming the traffic router, but humans are still making the buying decisions, and how your personality becomes the converter.How to think about your 5 to 10 year vision, legacy and impact so that it overrides the fear of judgement today. Inside the episode, I guide you through: A simple reflection on your big 5 year goal and why it actually matters to you beyond money.Questions to clarify the impact you want to have and what you want people to say about you when you are not in the room.A reframe of visibility as a job description and responsibility, not an optional extra.How to start stepping into the identity of the future version of you, now, in the way you talk, write, show up and create.Why getting clear on your brand archetype and natural style can give you permission to “turn up the volume” on who you really are. By the end of this episode, you will feel called out, called forward and hopefully called home to yourself. You will know exactly why your personal brand is not self indulgent, but essential. And you will have a clearer sense of how to evolve without losing yourself or your audience.

 What you'll learn in this episode:● Why marketing takes 90–180 days to gain mindshare● How to plan for consistent lead generation without burning out● The key difference between salespeople and business owners● Why long-term success requires both time and money● How to build a sustainable business in 3–5 years● The mindset shift that turns short-term hustle into predictable wealth

Ever feel like you're working harder than ever but not actually getting closer to freedom? Most entrepreneurs chase revenue, not realizing they're building a business that traps them instead of freeing them. So, how do you create a business that gives you freedom, fortune, and fulfillment without burning out? The answer lies in building a business moat.In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive into a game-changing framework I learned from Cody Sanchez, a New York Times bestselling author, CEO of Contrarian Thinking, and serial entrepreneur who's on a mission to help one million people achieve financial freedom through business ownership. Cody is known for buying “boring” businesses—laundromats, car washes, service companies and turning them into cash-flowing machines. Her secret? The M.O.A.T. Strategy, a simple yet powerful system to protect your business, your time, and your peace.Here's the gist: M.O.A.T. stands for Margin, Operations, Advantage, and Total Addressable Market. It's all about creating a competitive barrier around your business so that competitors stay out, cash keeps flowing in, and you build a fortress of freedom. Let's unpack a few powerful takeaways that you can apply right now.Margin matters most.If your business isn't profitable, it's fragile. Cody's rule of thumb is to buy or build businesses that cash flow on day one. So, audit your margins—are you charging enough for your time and talent? Sometimes the simplest solution is raising your prices.Systematize or suffer.Your business should run without you. That's the true test of freedom. Start documenting tasks you've done more than three times, then delegate them. Freedom lives in frameworks, my friend—if it's repeatable, automate or outsource it.Identify your unfair advantage.Your edge might be your brand, your relationships, your humor, or your community. Double down on what makes you you. Competitors can copy your strategy, but they can't replicate your soul.Know your market size.If you're playing too small, you're capping your growth. Expand your total addressable market—how many people can your product or service actually help? Think bigger.Do a quarterly M.O.A.T. audit.Rate yourself 1–10 in each of the four areas: Margin, Operations, Advantage, and Market. Find your lowest score and make that your next focus. It's a simple way to plug holes before your business springs a leak.This episode is all about working happier and smarter, not harder. Whether you're running a $100K business or a $100M empire, the MOAT strategy helps you protect your profits, your peace, and your purpose.If you're ready to build your own fortress of freedom, tune in to the full episode and start happy hustlin' your way toward that life of balance, passion, and positive impact.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Revenue looks great on paper, but you still feel broke. This disconnect between what the numbers show and what your bank account reflects is one of the most frustrating experiences for women entrepreneurs. You're working harder than ever, your sales are growing, yet somehow there's never enough left over to feel truly secure or to invest in the things that would actually move your business forward.   We so rarely have frank conversations about where money actually flows in our businesses. While the entrepreneurial world loves to talk about growing revenue and scaling teams, nobody's teaching you how to analyze whether your money is flowing through your business in a way that sets you up for profit or exhaustion.   Listen in this week as Eleanor walks you through the margin stack framework: four critical cost allocations between revenue and profit that tell the complete story of your business health. You'll discover why growing revenue without proper profit architecture leads to resentment and burnout, and exactly which numbers reveal whether you're building wealth or just feeding an expensive machine.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO72   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

What if the most powerful marketing strategy for your business isn't happening on social media, but in small rooms with 25-50 people?   This week, Eleanor is joined by CEO and co-founder of The Social Snippet, Kristina Bartold-Sorgota, who built a 7-figure agency with over 80 active clients using an unexpected approach: small, intimate events. She's mastered the art of building relationships first and letting business naturally follow, and she's here to tell you all about it.   If you're tired of constantly feeding the algorithm without seeing results, this episode will show you a different path to growing your business - one meaningful connection at a time. Tune in to discover why organic social media should be a lead nurture tool, not a lead generator, and how Kristina strategically leverages in-person networking to accelerate business growth. She shares her exact framework for choosing which events to attend, how she follows up without being salesy, and why she never makes a direct pitch, even when someone explicitly needs her services.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO71   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

There's scaling advice, and then there's feminist scaling advice. And here's the truth: these two things are actually quite different.   If you've ever received business advice that felt off, like it wasn't accounting for your full experience as a woman leader, there's a reason for that. In this week's episode, Eleanor is pulling back the curtain on why traditional scaling advice often falls short for women entrepreneurs, and what we really need to consider when building scalable businesses.   Listen in this week to learn why gender matters deeply in scaling advice. As someone who has mentored over 750 women leaders, Eleanor has seen firsthand how transformative the right kind of scaling advice can be. If you're ready to scale without sacrificing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO70

Ever look at your sales conversion rate and wish it were higher? Most business owners feel the same way, and it's often because they're stuck in a cycle of confusion and indecision. But what if there was a way to break free and achieve a freakishly high conversion rate?   This week, Eleanor breaks down the psychology behind freakishly high sales conversion and shows you exactly how to build a business ecosystem that naturally generates higher close rates.

Are you really focused on the tasks that make you money? Most founders and entrepreneurs only have a couple of core activities that actually drive revenue. So, if you were asked to name them right now, could you?   In this episode, we're getting real about what Eleanor calls "$10,000 tasks” - the specific, high-value activities that bring in the cash. It's easy to get bogged down with busy work that doesn't move the needle, like focusing on the idea of sales instead of the actions that lead to them.   If you feel like you've tried everything to boost your revenue but nothing's working, Eleanor is challenging you to get down and dirty with the daily, cash-producing tasks that truly matter. You'll learn a simple, daily action you can take that plants the seeds for future revenue, and it only takes a few minutes every day.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO64

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)Ready for some straight talk about building a divorce coaching practice? Forget the overnight success stories you've seen on social media. The path to a thriving practice follows a predictable pattern that requires patience, consistency, and strategic action.Tracy and Debra break down the four distinct phases every successful divorce coach navigates. The Foundation Phase (months 1-3) is all about behind-the-scenes work – establishing your niche, setting up systems, and creating your brand. Though clients aren't flooding in yet, this groundwork is essential. Next comes the Visibility Phase (months 3-9), where you're networking, creating content, and often feeling like you're "shouting into the void." This is where many coaches get discouraged, but perseverance during this period builds the trust and recognition that eventually leads to clients.The Growth Phase (months 9-18) brings your first consistent clients and referrals but also requires you to think like a CEO. Systems need refinement, continuing education becomes crucial, and mentorship can accelerate your progress. Finally, the Scaling Phase (18+ months) is when things "really start to click" – your practice becomes sustainable, and you can explore group programs or digital offerings without burning out.What makes this journey manageable? Community support, realistic expectations, and celebrating small wins along the way. Whether you're just starting out or somewhere along this path, remember that building a profitable practice is absolutely possible – just not overnight.

Most women entrepreneurs are running marathons in their businesses - constantly pushing forward but feeling like they're going nowhere fast. The exhaustion comes not from working too hard, but from working without focus.   Sprint-style execution completely flips the script on traditional business planning. Instead of spreading your energy across endless priorities, you choose one area where you're going to punch through and make a freaking impact.    Tune in this week as Eleanor breaks down exactly how sprint-style execution can transform your business results. This is especially crucial as we head into Q4 - your potential money-making ATM quarter. You'll learn why traditional planning methods may be holding you back, the 4-step framework for successful sprints, and real examples of women entrepreneurs who used sprints to build multi-million-dollar businesses.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO62

When businesses hit a growth ceiling, the instinct is often to throw more marketing dollars at the problem or chase the latest trend. The real question isn't whether you need to change. It's whether you'll make decisions based on data or desperation.   Co-founder of Learn Grant Writing, best-selling author, and Alaskan adventuress Meredith Noble faced this exact crossroads in December 2020 when her grant writing education business lost $20,000 in a single month. Rather than guess at solutions, Meredith and her co-founder Alex implemented a systematic customer insight process that transformed everything.   Listen in to learn the exact customer insight process Meredith used to re-engineer her business model, how she went from losing $20,000 to generating $45,000 in monthly recurring revenue within seven months, and why customer journey mapping is the "hill she'll die on" as a business strategy.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO59

When the world feels heavy and hard, it can feel wrong or even selfish to feel joy amidst the suffering. But in this episode, we explore a powerful reframe: What if joy is not an escape, but an act of resistance or perhaps even revenge? As a leader, what if reclaiming your joy isn't just allowed—it's essential? As I've witnessed global unraveling happening alongside so many people's individual pain and heartbreak, I've seen firsthand how joy has shown up not in spite of this season, but through this season and these events. In this episode, we dismantle three major myths about joy and leadership, including the belief that modeling joy is tone-deaf or that it diminishes the seriousness of the world's pain. Instead, I make a compelling case for why joy is a mental health necessity, a leadership superpower, and a radical tool for personal and collective resilience. Backed by neuroscience and wisdom from some brilliant people who work in the field of joy and resilience research, this episode explores how joy rewires your brain (literally), boosts your team's ability to thrive, and helps you lead with more presence, empathy, and clarity, even when everything feels uncertain. You'll walk away with six tangible joy practices, such as joy hits, daily rituals, and joy-driven leadership tools, that will help you cultivate joy that is not only supportive of your own mental and physical health but contagious to those around you. Joy is not a betrayal of the pain. It's a balm. It's a strategy. It's your birthright—and it might just be your most powerful form of leadership.

Revenue plateaus at $15-20K per month often feel like a cruel joke - you're working harder than ever, yet predictable growth remains elusive. One month you hit $20K, the next you're back at $12K, and no amount of hustling seems to create the consistency you crave. The exhausting cycle of feast or famine leaves you wondering if scaling to $50K months is even possible without burning out completely.   The leap from inconsistent $15K months to predictable $50K months requires more than new strategies or working longer hours.    In this episode, Eleanor shares five critical shifts that'll take you to consistent $50k months.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO58

Sometimes your boss is the biggest obstacle to your leadership growth. Whether they're dismissive, manipulative, or flat-out toxic, their behavior or opinion of you does not define your worth. After watching too many women leaders suffer under harmful male leadership recently, it feels crucial to share actionable strategies to help you trust your instincts and keep your intuition grounded in truth. It's time for you to reclaim your power even in environments designed to diminish it.When your boss won't advocate for you, it's time to advocate for yourself—boldly and strategically. In this episode, I share how to get visible beyond your direct boss, surround yourself with mentors and allies, and cultivate your leadership brand regardless of what your boss says (or doesn't say) about you. You'll learn how to set unapologetic boundaries, document manipulative behavior, and protect your emotional safety.  We talk about how to navigate power dynamics with intention. By understanding your boss's motivations and insecurities, you can learn to protect your own energy and make more informed, strategic choices about how to engage. This clarity will allow you to choose your battles wisely, preserve your peace, and lead yourself first. In doing so, you will model a more grounded and powerful style of leadership for those around you, even in the absence of support from above.Remember, you always have a choice. Sometimes, navigating a “strategic stay” is the right move for right now. Other times, the best thing you can do is leave.  This episode is an invitation for you to consider what growth, alignment, and success look like on your terms. Because even when you're being held down, you are still leading.  Your job is not to shrink in the shadows of someone else's smallness. Your job is to stand tall in your truth, build your brand, and be the leader of your life. Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

I was recently sitting in one of my Change Leadership classes for my Master's degree in Organizational Leadership, and my teacher asked us, “What would it look like if, as change leaders, we were to suspend certainty more often?”  I immediately made a note to myself, “podcast episode on suspending certainty!”  As someone who craves certainty but understands that nothing is certain, I often think about becoming more comfortable with impermanence.  I've never heard this referred to as “suspending certainty”, but this term struck me, and I knew I wanted to dig into it with you all!   In this episode, we talk about the importance of suspending certainty in leadership and personal growth. We talk through the benefits of embracing uncertainty, including: Increased curiosity Access to new perspectives Openness to learning and new opportunities Increased surprise, delight, and joy Gifts that come when we step out of our “I got it all figured out” ego Resilience, resourcefulness, tenacity, creativity, fun, and JOY are all born out of figuring out new things, embracing new realities, letting go of the old, and stepping into new opportunities where we don't know exactly how things will go.  What might happen for you if you felt prepared to step into uncertainty at any time?  Suspending certainty will help you with this preparation.  Episode Highlights: 00:00 Introduction and Exciting Updates 03:35 The Concept of Suspending Certainty 04:03 Understanding the Gifts of Suspending Certainty 11:10 Benefits of Embracing Uncertainty 20:10 Navigating Personal and Collective Uncertainty 30:30 Conclusion and Upcoming Workshop Links Mentioned: Attend my free workshop for women small business owners, Focused and Fierce: Lead with Purpose and Build Your Business in a Noisy World: saradean.com/fierce Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
