Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today we've got an inspiring story for you. If you've ever felt stuck in a job that isn't aligned with the life you want, this episode is for you. We're sitting down with Jessica Rubianogroot, a former occupational therapist turned full-time entrepreneur and mom. She shares how she went from clocking in every day, making a long commute, and feeling exhausted to running her own successful Amazon business—all while being fully present for her kids. Jessica's story is nothing short of incredible. She never saw herself as an entrepreneur. In fact, she admits she's not tech-savvy, had never considered e-commerce, and came from a background of financial scarcity. But when she stumbled across the Rainmaker Family, something shifted. She felt called to take a leap, even when it didn't make logical sense. Fast forward to today—she's made $20K in just two months and is growing her business in ways she never imagined! In this episode, Jessica gets real about the struggles, doubts, and mindset shifts she had to work through. She opens up about how her faith played a huge role in her journey, how she overcame fear around money, and the emotional weight of being a single mom trying to make ends meet. She also shares the moment she realized she was no longer trapped in survival mode but truly thriving in a life of abundance. If you're feeling like there has to be more for you and your family—this conversation is proof that it is possible. Jessica's story will light a fire in you, whether you're just starting or in the thick of it, wondering if you should keep going. So, grab your coffee, settle in, and let's dive in!

Are you the face of your business, but wondering how to scale without being involved in everything? How do you transition from a one-person show to a thriving, team-driven business without losing your unique touch? In this episode of the Lean Out Your Business podcast, I dive into a big question many entrepreneurs face: should you build a personal brand or a business brand? I share my own journey, including how I'm shifting things at Strategic Ops Institute, and why moving from a one-person show to a team-driven business is so important for growth. We'll talk about how to systematize your business, showcase your team, and blend personal and business branding in a way that still feels authentic but also scalable. I'll also share examples—like Richard Branson's Virgin Voyages—to show how the right balance between personal touch and brand identity can help your business grow. If you're looking to scale and aren't sure how to make this transition, this episode is for you! I'll walk you through practical steps to help you shift your business model. In this episode I discuss: - Scaling a Personal Brand - Challenges of Scaling a Personal Brand - Mental and Personal Growth in Scaling - Personal vs. Business Brand Ready to get out of the day-to-day operations of your business?
