One of the most common dilemmas facing entrepreneurs today is what comes first: making the money or mastering the mindset to keep it? Much like the age-old "chicken or the egg" riddle, these two pillars of business are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a thriving ecosystem, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at where you should start in terms of a self-audit, how the three essential skills of money help you identify exactly where you should be pouring your energy based on the current stage of your business, and so much more. Whether you are a brand-new creator building from scratch, a seasoned pro looking to scale without burnout, or a leader trying to determine why your high revenue isn't translating into profit, this episode will light the way for what to do next!

Are you calling it "misalignment" when it's actually just fear? In this episode, Nicole unpacks one of the most common reasons talented, purpose-driven people stay stuck — especially when they're building a business around their gifts. They feel the pull. They respond. They create something meaningful. And then, when it's time to share it, something tightens. Suddenly they're questioning whether it's aligned… or whether they're even ready. But what if that hesitation isn't misalignment at all? Nicole shares how fear can disguise itself as intuition and how Human Design can unintentionally become a crutch instead of a catalyst. She walks through how this pattern shows up across types — from Generators and Manifesting Generators holding back their work, to Projectors overlooking recognition that's already there, to Reflectors making rushed decisions under pressure. The common thread is conditioning from the outside world creeping in right when expansion is meant to happen. You will also learn the critical distinction between discomfort and true misalignment — and why growth almost always comes with friction. For anyone who has been waiting to feel completely confident before taking the next step, this episode invites a powerful reframe of what alignment really feels like — and what it might be asking of them now.

What if I told you that 95% of the results in your business come from just 5% of your activities? And what if I told you that for most entrepreneurs, that 5% is the one thing they are actually avoiding or trying to outsource to a robot? Today, I'm talking all about messaging. I just wrapped up my three-day Million Dollar Messaging workshop for our Next Level coaching clients, and the breakthroughs were so huge that I had to bring some of those "behind-closed-doors" strategies to the podcast. In this episode, I'm breaking down how messaging isn't just content, it's a strategic sequence designed to connect what your audience wants to what you actually sell. I reveal the million-dollar sentence that changes everything, a "Trojan Horse" technique for planting new beliefs, and so much more. If you've been feeling like you're digging a pool with a shovel, it's time to put down the manual labor and start using the "earth mover" of your business. Let's go!

Why isn't your AI-generated content turning into actual sales? In this episode, Nicole unpacks what's really happening behind the scenes of today's AI content boom. While everyone seems to be using AI, very few entrepreneurs are using it in a way that builds demand, authority, and revenue. Nicole shares how she integrates AI into her own $30K/month business — not as the voice of her brand, but as a powerful tool that amplifies a clear, established message. She breaks down the critical difference between messaging and content — and why confusing the two leads to polished posts that feel good but don't convert. Using a powerful director-and-film-set analogy, Nicole reframes your role in your content ecosystem and explains why handing over your message to AI results in technically competent but soulless marketing. You'll also hear a client story that illustrates how refining messaging — not increasing output — led to consistent four-figure sales from Instagram Stories alone. Nicole also walks you through what must be in place before AI can truly support you — and how building a clear playbook transforms your content from time-consuming noise into focused, revenue-generating communication. If you've been relying on templates, trending hooks, or generic prompts and wondering why your audience isn't buying, this episode offers a grounded, strategic shift. Tune in now!

If you're a Reflector, this episode is your personalised 2026 forecast and part three of the 2026 "Future of Business" series. I'm taking the five business themes from Episode 2 (episode 305 of the All That Jazze Podcast) and the major astrological transits from Episode 1 (Episode 304) and translating them specifically for you as a Reflector in business.Almost nothing in the business space has been designed with you in mind. Most frameworks assume consistent energy, a fixed identity, and certainty - and you don't operate that way. But 2026 is asking for exactly what you do naturally: pattern recognition, nuance, truth-telling, and the ability to name what nobody else is naming. The world is catching up to how you've always operated.What You'll Learn:❤️
If you're a Manifestor, this episode is your personalised 2026 forecast and part three of the 2026 "Future of Business" series. I'm taking the five business themes from Episode 2 (episode 305 of the All That Jazze Podcast) and the major astrological transits from Episode 1 (Episode 304) and translating them specifically for you as a Manifestor in business. And I'll say it - I genuinely think the 2026 transits were made for Manifestors.The biggest evolution for a Manifestor isn't always the business strategy. It's getting comfortable being misunderstood - because making yourself smaller so everyone gets it is the thing that's crushing your energy, your vision, and your conversions.What You'll Learn:❤️
Why aren't you getting paid to be you — even though you know you're talented, aligned, and meant for more? In this episode, Nicole breaks down the truth behind the popular phrase "get paid to be yourself" and why it's both more powerful — and more nuanced — than most people realize. She shares what it actually means to build a business that feels like an extension of your purpose, your dharma, and your authentic expression… and why that alone isn't enough to generate income. You'll hear the two essential pieces that must work together: the "you" part and the "paid" part. Nicole explores how Human Design supports deep authenticity and alignment, and then shifts into the real reason many entrepreneurs struggle — messaging. Through real client examples and behind-the-scenes insights, she reveals why engagement doesn't always equal revenue, why having an audience isn't the same as having a business, and how unclear communication quietly blocks sales. If you've ever thought, "I just want to get paid to be me," this episode will challenge you — in the best way. Because the freedom you're craving isn't about visibility or popularity… It's about alignment and clarity working together to create sustainable, purpose-driven income. Tune in!

What really happens when you put a room full of successful entrepreneurs together for three days in Sedona? Is it some "secret club" strategy that nobody else knows about? In this episode, I'm giving you an exclusive look inside our first 7-figure mastermind retreat of the year. This is the 10th year I've run this mastermind, and I'm sharing the raw, unfiltered observations of what is actually working in the online business space right now.

If you've been feeling like you're working harder but staying in the same place, it's likely because you're running the wrong play. These are the specific patterns I'm seeing across the board with our highest-level students, and it's time for you to use what they're learning and step into the identity of a true Digital CEO too!

Why do so many smart, capable entrepreneurs invest in programs… and still walk away feeling like they failed? If you've ever quietly questioned your ability to follow through — or felt the sting of shame after something "should have worked" but didn't — this episode speaks directly to that experience. Nicole explores what's really underneath failed investments, inconsistent action, and the erosion of self-trust that so often follows. Because more often than not, the issue isn't laziness or lack of discipline — it's something deeper. This episode reframes why most programs don't create lasting results. Many are designed for information transfer, not embodiment. And when you try to solve a nervous system issue with another strategy or checklist, you stay stuck in the same cycle. Nicole also talks about how shame, fear, and an unregulated nervous system quietly shape your visibility, your consistency, and your leadership — whether you realize it or not. You'll also hear what sustainable consistency actually looks like, and why "train like an athlete" has less to do with force and more to do with safety, repetition, and working with your design. If you're ready to rebuild self-trust and create momentum that feels aligned rather than exhausting, this episode will shift how you think about growth—and what it really takes to become unshakeable.

If you're a Generator, this episode is your personalised 2026 forecast and part three of the 2026 "Future of Business” series. I'm taking the five business themes from Episode 2 (episode 305 of the All That Jazze Podcast) and the major astrological transits from Episode 1 (Episode 304) and translating them specifically for how your sacral energy type navigates this year.What I see with almost every Generator I work with is the same pattern: spending a significant amount of time on things that aren't the thing only they can do. This episode is about getting honest about where that's happening, understanding the Generator plateau (and why it leads to overcomplicating), and giving yourself permission to let your lit-up energy be the strategy.What You'll Learn:❤️
What if the Year of the Fire Horse and the upcoming 2027 shift in Human Design aren't here to create chaos — but to train us for sovereignty? In this episode, Nicole offers a grounded reframe of what these transitions are really asking of us and why so many people are feeling unsettled right now. Rather than bracing for collapse, Nicole explores how we're being called to make decisions from within as external structures lose their grip. As familiar systems, leaders, and institutions stop providing clear answers, the focus shifts toward self-trust, emotional regulation, and learning how to stand in your own authority without outsourcing your power. Nicole also connects the untamed energy of the Fire Horse with the closing chapter of the Cross of Planning to reveal a larger collective initiation that's already underway. This moment isn't about rebellion or independence for its own sake — it's about responsibility, embodiment, and learning how to lead yourself when the old rules no longer apply. If you've been feeling restless, disillusioned with traditional leadership, or quietly called to a more self-directed way of living and leading, this episode offers a clarifying perspective on what's unfolding — and how to meet it with confidence instead of fear.

Most entrepreneurs are obsessed with the wrong number and chasing "Total Revenue" like it's the ultimate trophy, but I'm going to tell you something that might hurt a little: Revenue is a vanity metric. The truth is if you're making a million dollars but it costs you $950,000 to get it, you don't have a business, you have a high-stress hobby! In this episode, we walk you through the exact framework we use to keep our operations tight and our margins high, including the one number that actually grants you freedom (and no, it's not your bank balance). We look at the "natural drift" of waste that quietly bleeds most businesses dry and the specific expenses that actually scale your life, not just your workload. If you've ever felt like you're asleep at the wheel of your financials or you're exhausted from trying to out-earn your own overspending, this is your wake-up call. It's time to stop throwing money at your problems and start mastering the mechanics that actually support the life you want, so let's do this!

Why does leadership feel so much harder right now — even when you're experienced, capable, and doing everything you've always done? If you've been feeling the weight, the uncertainty, or the sense that old strategies just aren't working anymore, this episode puts words to something many leaders are quietly experiencing. In this episode, Nicole unpacks why leadership feels different in this moment and what's actually shifting beneath the surface. As familiar systems and external sources of certainty become less reliable, a new kind of leadership is being required — one rooted in internal orientation, nervous system stability, and self-trust. Nicole reframes what's happening as a contextual change rather than a personal failure, and explains why trying to push harder using old paradigms often backfires. You'll hear why intuition and embodiment are becoming essential leadership skills, how Human Design helps explain this transition, and why the leaders who will thrive aren't the loudest or most performative — they're the most grounded. Nicole also shares what she's seeing in the entrepreneurial world right now, including why so many businesses are struggling and what this in-between phase is really asking of those who lead.

What happens when the systems we've relied on for centuries stop working—and we're asked to lead ourselves instead? In this episode, Nicole explores the massive energetic shift humanity is already moving through as we approach the end of the Cross of Planning and prepare to enter the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix in 2027. This isn't a future prediction—it's a lens for understanding why so much feels unstable, uncertain, and up for renegotiation right now. You'll hear how the collective, tribal agreements that shaped governments, institutions, work, family, and leadership are breaking down—and why that breakdown is not a mistake, but a transition. Nicole explains the key differences between these two eras and how they show up in everyday life, from our relationship with authority to the growing push toward independence, intuition, and self-directed paths. Nicole also explores why Human Design becomes especially relevant in times like these. As groupthink, emotional contagion, and charismatic leadership intensify, learning how to make decisions from your own authority—not fear, pressure, or the crowd—becomes essential. She shares how understanding these energetic dynamics can help you stay grounded, clear, and less reactive as the world around you feels increasingly volatile. This episode is an invitation to observe what's happening without getting consumed by it, to feel what's true without bypassing discomfort, and to begin preparing yourself for a very different way of operating in the world. If you've felt like something big is shifting but haven't had language for it yet, this episode will help you start connecting the dots. Listen now!

What if the business model you've been duct-taping together is the very thing keeping you from the success you're meant for in 2026? Are you still arguing for your limitations while wondering why your growth has stalled? After a much-needed break to celebrate our wedding and recharge on our honeymoon, Jenni and I are back behind the mic to get real about the massive shifts happening in our industry! We've seen more disruption in the last 12 months than in the past two decades combined, and a "wait and see" approach is no longer an option. In this episode, we unpack the mental shifts required to actually thrive in this new climate. We talk about why your true desires are actually a map to your purpose, how to stop self-sabotaging with goals that don't line up with your actions, and why you have to clean up the mental "mud" if you want to keep the results you're after. It is time to reclaim your agency and stop letting your brain's old predictions dictate what's possible for you, because the world needs your unique frequency now more than ever.

On Carlsbad: People, Purpose and Impact, Bret Schanzenbach talks with Audrey Maria Adams, founder of YNSOTM Co (pronounced “yen-SOD-um”), a consultancy grounded in the thesis line “You are Not So Other Than Me.” Audrey shares how studies in political theory, philosophy, and psychology shaped her obsession with human flourishing—and how coaching, education leadership, grief, kindness projects, and unexpected sales roles led her to redesign customer experiences with unreasonable hospitality.What we cover:From Hartford to D.C. to Carlsbad: education, coaching, and DC Reads leadershipThe van trip that sparked a move west—and the stolen moped that sealed itBreathwork in schools and what presence looks like in practiceTurning insurance into a delight engine: hospitality stories that stuckThe meaning behind YNSOTM and offerings for people and teamsClarity Call (Maslow-inspired) and Culture Audit (brand, service, rituals)Why presence + design = better business, better communityGuest: Audrey Maria Adams — Founder, YNSOTM Co Did this episode have a special impact on you?

Today we're continuing the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series, where we've been bringing back some of our most impactful past episodes.

As entrepreneurs, money impacts every aspect of our businesses, from pricing, team expenses, taxes, and more. But true success goes beyond just having money; it's about fostering a healthy and abundant relationship with it. Today we're continuing the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series and replaying a special episode we did earlier this year that is too good not to share! My special guest is none other than Kate Northup, who is back on the podcast to talk everything money and how to heal your relationship with it. In fact, it's almost impossible to have a thriving business without being good with money and keeping a focus on your relationship with it, which is what makes this conversation with Kate such an important one to be having, and to be sharing with you again! Kate will be joining me on the stage this year at BBD Live 2025 in December in Phoenix, Arizona and we are not doing one next year! I don't know when the next in-person one will be, which is why we wanted to pull out all the stops and make this the biggest and best ever, so if you want to see Kate Northrup and all of our other amazing speakers rock the stage and blow minds at BBD Live 2025, go to www.jameswedmore.com/tickets ASAP to see if tickets are still available)!

Why are your launches so exhausting, and why is your ideal client walking away right before you make the offer? Is it your content? Nope. Is it your funnel? Think again! This week we're continuing the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series, and I'm replaying a past episode with the legendary Tracy Goodwin, who exposes the psychological "masks" you're wearing that are unconsciously sabotaging your sales and burning out your audience. Tracy has personally transformed my business, and in this conversation she reveals how the sound of your voice betrays your deepest core wounds, affecting your launch performance and client retention in mere seconds. If you want true connection, you must ditch the performance and start playing the long game of authenticity. So stop masking, and let's start manifesting!

Is magnetism a quality that you're born with, or can it be learned? Why is it that there are some people that seem to be magnetic, relatable, and truly authentic, so that when they show up on camera, create videos, or content on the Internet, no matter what it is they say, they draw an audience? We're answering these questions and more in this installment of the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series! Today's guest, Alex Paulos, is my "secret weapon" that I've hired and used myself several times in my own company, and he's so good that I have him at all of my events to work with my clients as well. Recently, I had Alex on one of my Business by Design coaching calls, where he shared this mini-presentation on how to uncover who you really are at your core, and then take down the masks, or the personas, that prevent you from unlocking magnetic levels of authenticity in your life. In fact, this workshop was so good that I knew I had to share Alex and his work with even more people, which is why I'm bringing it to you here on the podcast! Alex will be joining me on the stage this year at BBD Live 2025 in December in Phoenix, Arizona and we are not doing one next year!

Think you don't have a good story? Think again! In an age of AI and overwhelming content, your unique voice and personal storytelling are your most powerful marketing assets. But here's the cold truth: a great story poorly told is worthless. Today I'm joined by my friend, Broadway producer, story master (and past guest of this podcast), Nick Demos, as we dive into the art and science of connecting with your audience on a deep, human level. In this episode, Nick breaks down common storytelling mistakes, how to find your "nugget of wisdom" in any everyday moment, and why getting more personal is essential for business growth. Plus, Nick shares his fascinating journey from winning a Tony Award to hitting a wall, proving that external success won't solve internal problems. This conversation isn't just about better narratives; it's about shifting into "being thought leadership" to build the kind of connection that truly converts. Nick's journey and insights are sure to inspire, so let's get you ready to share your million stories. Plus, if you'd like to join us in person for BBD Live to see Nick and other incredible speakers, shoot me a message on Instagram, @jameswedmore, and let me know you're interested!

I was absolutely blown away after my personal session with today's guest, Tom Matte, and I just knew I had to bring his gift to you here on the podcast. Tom possesses a unique ability he calls Upsight Vision, which is the power to see translucent images that radiate from you, literally revealing the unconscious thoughts and next-level insights buried beneath the surface. I requested he ask zero questions, and over Zoom, the things he shared with me were unbelievably spot on! Today, we dive deep into how these incredible gifts came to him, the connection between childhood trauma and unlocking this evolutionary mutation in consciousness, and why this revolutionary gift is attracting artists, musicians, and business owners alike. If you're craving crystal-clear clarity or feeling stuck in your business, you're going to love this conversation. Near the end, Tom shares exactly how you can experience Upsight Vision in a session with him.

Think multi-6 figure launches selling high-ticket products, from a single webinar, is impossible? Think again! In this episode, I sit down with Mel Wells, a best-selling author, feminine embodiment coach, and global speaker, right here in Sedona, as she reveals how she built her 7-figure business by design. In fact, Mel is generating more revenue in her business by simply selling less offers, less products, less often, and as a result, is enjoying life more, and she shares it all with us today. As we just wrapped up our 2025 training of The Rise of the Digital CEO, I thought this was the perfect episode to show what's possible with the revenue and impact you can achieve when you put in the time, effort and consistency!

There was a time I believed failure wasn't just something I did—it was who I was.But that belief got flipped on its head the day I had a transformational conversation with entrepreneur and coach James Wedmore.In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful clip where James breaks down the real reason so many of us get stuck: we're building businesses with belief systems we picked up as students and employees—ones that no longer serve us.We unpack:Why failure is just feedback (not a flaw)How to release identities that keep you smallWhat being “coachable” really means (this moment changed me)How to rewire beliefs that are holding you backIf you've ever feared failure or felt defined by your mistakes, lean in. You're about to see your story—and your future—differently.Failure isn't something to fear. It's something to celebrate.
