How do you turn your inconsistent side hustle into a business with steady, predictable demand? That's the biggest question everyone stuck in first gear is asking as they lay awake at night, mind searching for answers. If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the marketing tactics you're supposed to be doing and still struggling to see your revenue rise, then stop dreaming about ditching your day job for good, wake up and listen! I see so many smart, professional women stuck in what I call “Side Hustle Alley,” maxed out on time but nowhere near their income goals. Truth is, the answer's not working harder or adding more shiny marketing tricks that start off promising but tend to fizzle out. The best move is a subtle but powerful shift in how you position yourself - one that can change the trajectory of your business, for good! In episode 285 I'm revealing how you can create your own category so you stand out as the obvious choice, and what a true signature solution really looks like. Here's a taste of what you'll hear: What's the real reason side hustles feel so heavy and why your ‘menu' of services might be holding you back. Why most so-called “signature solutions” aren't signature at all. What does it actually mean to have one, and how do you know if you do? How you can step out of the competition and price wars, and finally be seen for what you do best. What's missing if your signature solution isn't the right fit for all your clients and how to fix it for good. Why getting crystal clear on your ideal client is the foundation of everything, and a free resource you can grab to help you get there. If you're tired of hustling, second-guessing, and piecing together your marketing efforts, then hit play on this episode and let's talk about how to create real, predictable growth in your business.

In the last 12-18 months most entrepreneurs jumped head first into AI, trusting that it was the magic pill to save them time and take the load off their shoulders… But did they put a little bit too much trust in their AI tools? I'm seeing a trend in 2026 that's honestly quite concerning - and it's the reason I recorded this episode. We have reached a point where it's time to stop and think: are we outsourcing too much thinking to what's essentially an advanced computer program? It's one thing to outsource manual tasks to AI and I'm all for it, but it's quite different to trust a computer model to create your unique business strategy. In this episode, I share what I've noticed happening behind the scenes for so many online businesses that are using AI to replace their own thinking! They're entrusting the bigger questions of strategy, originality, and authenticity - those irreplaceable assets that make us memorable - to an algorithm that's designed to research what already exists and tell you what you want to hear! If that's not alarming you yet, think about the implications when everyone is doing it! Here's a preview of the questions I tackle: Why are so many entrepreneurs trusting AI with their core business and marketing strategy, and is it actually giving them an edge - or making them blend in? What is AI truly capable of, and where does it fall short when it comes to knowing your business and personal strengths? How can you use AI tools smartly without handing over your authority, credibility, and vision? What should you hold onto as your personal competitive edge, instead of spinning your wheels hoping AI will do it for you? If you're ready for a refreshingly honest look at what AI can and can't do for your business, and want to reclaim your unique value in a world of copy-and-paste content, this episode is for you.

Do you get an uncomfortable flutter when you know you need to have a tricky chat with someone on your team? Managing people - whether employees, contractors, or VAs - often means facing difficult conversations. It's easy to worry you'll get it wrong, or that conflict will brew. But what if you could handle these chats with confidence, clarity, and kindness… and actually strengthen your business in the process? This week, I'm joined by Amy Christopherson, the brains behind Grounded HR, with over 15 years' experience in people management and HR. Amy's passion is supporting small business owners to build thriving, connected teams, even if you're starting with just one hire. She's walked this path herself, growing her HR consultancy from a local business to serving clients nationwide. Amy brings practical advice, plenty of real-world stories, and a whole lot of common sense. In this episode we're tackling some of the questions that can keep business owners up at night: Why does one underperforming team member have such a big impact on small businesses? What makes hiring so scary… and how can you reframe those worries to take action? How do you spot the difference between a great team member who needs time to get up to speed, and someone who just isn't the right fit? What can you do to stop small problems from turning into big ones, especially when it comes to communication? How do you approach those difficult conversations, so everyone walks away feeling respected - and your business actually gets stronger? If you've ever hesitated to delegate, or struggled with giving feedback, you're going to get loads of actionable ideas and reassurance here. Amy's advice proves that managing people doesn't have to be something we dread. Tune in to learn how to lead your team with more ease and fewer headaches! About our guest: Amy is your people-focused, future-driven HR expert with a difference.

Let's talk about the one skill you absolutely MUST develop as a business owner - especially now, in this economic environment. It's not a trendy hack or secret formula - it's something powerful, practical, and completely learnable. I've noticed that many women building a business try to sidestep this skill because it pushes them out of their comfort zone. They feel uncertain, maybe even a little scared. But if you don't do it, you'll never get your business out of first gear. And unfortunately that's the reality for so many - why their business remains a side hustle even after years of effort. And … why the small biz failure rate is so high! Ok, let's get down to businesses In this episode we'll bust the myths around what it means to “do marketing” and why you don't need to be an extroverted, pushy promoter to set your business up for real success. Here's what you'll hear more about: Why directing your own marketing strategy is non-negotiable - and what happens if you try to hand it off to someone else. What truly matters in your marketing, from positioning and offers, to focusing on the right people (not just anyone with a pulse). How to build a simple, clear pathway that takes potential clients from “never heard of you” all the way to “raving fan” Why copying someone else's strategy will never work for your unique business, and what to do instead. How you can create a system for your business that feels easy, not exhausting - even if “marketing” usually gives you the chills. If you've ever wished marketing could feel natural and aligned (and actually get you the clients you want), this episode is for you.

Do you feel permanently busy, but the business isn't really moving forward? It's like being stuck in first gear, burning through the gas fast but the car going slowly. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or expert, it's so easy to get caught up in the next social media trick or the latest marketing hack, trying to attract clients who never quite seem to connect. But what if I told you there's one simple yet fundamental strategy every business needs - and that makes all the difference, no matter how much the business world changes? In this episode, I share the essential building block every service-based business needs before anything else. It's something I've taught for nearly a decade, and it's at the heart of every truly successful business I've seen. Spoiler: it's not about doing more, shouting louder, or offering endless bonuses. It's about clarity, focus, and knowing exactly who you're for - and who you're not. Here's what you'll learn by the end of the episode: Why so many marketing tactics can leave you spinning your wheels, and what to do before any of them will actually start working. What the “expert zone” really means for coaches and consultants, and why being able to clearly say who you help (and how) is the single most powerful advantage you can claim. The mistake most coaches are making that waters down your message and attracts no one, and the fastest way to fix it! What makes your business truly irresistible, and how you can instantly create stronger results without working more hours or piling on more offers. Curious to know if you're missing this core strategy? Tune in - I promise you'll come away with a new sense of clarity and relief. Ready to become the obvious choice for your ideal clients?

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! There's a big shift happening in the online business space and, if you plan on staying relevant, you'll want to get on board with it. I've spent over 25 years in marketing and 15 years as a business owner myself, so I've seen plenty of trends come and go. But what's brewing for this year feels different - it's a cultural groundswell that's going to change the game completely, perhaps forever! And if you're blind to it, you'll get left behind. Think back to 2025 - the year AI exploded into daily use for a majority of people. We've now got more information at our fingertips than ever before, we're more connected than ever before, you can do in minutes things that used to take days, weeks, or months. Yet - have you noticed how much more lonely and disconnected working online can feel now? With the rise of AI, so much of what we're seeing and interacting with doesn't feel genuine. It lacks the energy we feel when we're interacting with, listening to or watching a real human. Our “fake radars” are permanently on, and as we know that AI is getting harder to detect, it's common to assume everything is created by AI! (Like you're possibly sitting there thinking these show notes were written by AI…. but they're not!) All this means we're craving authentic human connection more than ever and it's going to increase exponentially! In this episode, I share more about the shifts happening in our online space, why community and real connections is becoming the vital ingredient your business needs to thrive. Here's a taste of what you'll hear in this episode: Why is genuine connection more important than ever, especially as AI-generated content floods our feeds?

What practical changes can you make to strip out what's no longer working, double down on what is, and start something that brings more connection into your world?

In this Deep Dive series on Climate Philanthropy, I'm exploring the wide range of ways that foundations are stepping up to support climate progress, especially amid federal rollbacks and inconsistent commitments from large companies. Philanthropic capital is tiny in comparison to government and corporate budgets, but it can still be a helpful tool – especially if wielded strategically. Let's set some context: In the United States, there are over 30,000 environmental nonprofits. It's a wildly diverse field with organizations of all sizes and countless focus areas. Since the 1970s, they've saved millions of lives through environmental protections that have cleaned our air, water, land, buildings, factories, and products. Many are struggling with funding cuts and staff shortages, and too often they compete for attention and resources.Foundations provide funding to these organizations, but they can also play a more fundamental role: building movement infrastructure that bolsters the power and influence of the entire field. That, argues Pisces Foundation President David Beckman, is a priority that deserves more attention and support. David is a friend whom I've had the pleasure of working with over the years. When it comes to investing in movement infrastructure, I can't think of anyone else who brings the nuance and insight David has gained through a career-long focus on advancing the environmental movement. We talk about his background as an National Resources Defense Council attorney, his role in helping start the Pisces Foundation, the entreprenuerial nature of his work, what movement infrastructure is, what he's learned about investing in it, the importance of late night cookies in building relationships, the need for a meta narrative, the work of the Pisces Foundation, super pollutants, what business people and young people should know about the environmental movement, and much more.

In this episode, we're joined by Ker Gibbs, an esteemed former president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, and an expert with deep insights into U.S.-China trade relations. Ker shares his perspectives on the ongoing trade tensions, the geopolitical landscape, and the role of multinational businesses amid evolving global strategies.Introducing Ker GibbsConnect with KerKer Gibbs brings a wealth of experience from his tenure as the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. An executive in residence at the University of San Francisco and a partner at Foresight Restructuring, Ker has also co-authored "Selling to China," offering an in-depth exploration of foreign business adaptations within China.Understanding Trade Disputes and the Geopolitical LandscapeKer and Art discuss the ever-changing trade disputes between the U.S. and China, emphasizing the fluidity and complexity of negotiations. Ker highlights how changing U.S. strategies, particularly during the Trump administration, contributed to the tensions around tariffs and broader trade issues. The conversation delves into key obstacles in the bilateral relationship, including questions of sovereignty, economic supremacy, and military containment.The Role of Made in China 2025The discussion shifts to China's "Made in China 2025" initiative, which Ker notes has been less publicly discussed in recent times. However, the ambitions to dominate in areas like robotics and artificial intelligence continue to influence perceptions and policies in Washington, contributing to trade tensions. Ker explores how such initiatives may appear threatening to the U.S., given differing historical and economic perspectives.Multinationals Navigating Decoupling ChallengesAs the conversation continues, Ker offers insights into how multinational companies are adapting to the challenges of decoupling and increased self-sufficiency. He discusses the restructuring required for global businesses to operate in a siloed model, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability needed by companies in these complex scenarios.The Symbiotic U.S.-China RelationshipThe podcast also covers the intricate and symbiotic economic relationship between the U.S. and China.

They examine how multinational companies might engage with these political landscapes, providing potential pathways for future cooperation.Bridging the Policy and Business DivideKer stresses the importance of multinational companies playing a role in bridging policy and business divides, especially in the context of globalization. He argues that while businesses are inherently driven by profit motives, they can still contribute to societal solutions by understanding the broader policy implications of their operations.Conclusion: Optimism and Future OutlookIn closing, Ker Gibbs remains optimistic about reaching a trade agreement, considering the potential economic harms that could arise from prolonged disputes. The podcast ends with a reflection on the importance of continual dialogue and foresight in restructuring global strategies to enhance resiliency and cooperation between the U.S. and China.Listeners interested in further information can connect with Ker via LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram, where he shares continued insights on U.S.-China business dynamics.

Originally uploaded March 28th, re-edited April 16th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomed back LEO Director Susan Corbin with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. Recently , The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) joined local business and community leaders in Lansing to discuss how Gov. Whitmer's proposed FY26 budget will strengthen job training. Can you speak to expand apprenticeships and removed barriers to employment? Can you share more about the roundtable's highlights? [the direct impact these investments will have on Michigan workers and employers—including $19 million for Registered Apprenticeships, $40.4 million to support students with disabilities and $7.5 million to help workers overcome employment barriers.] Please share about Michigan's first-ever Statewide Workforce Plan? [ a strategy to fuel economic growth and create more opportunities for job seekers across the state.] If there's any more, discuss how these workforce initiatives align with the state's broader strategy to building a stronger middle class and help businesses grow? What would the real impact of these programs in action be? State officials and Lansing area leaders discuss how Gov. Whitmer's proposed FY26 budget will strengthen job training, apprenticeship programs and employment services. LANSING, Mich.— The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) joined local community members, business leaders and stakeholders to discuss Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's FY26 budget recommendations. The roundtable event, which was held Thursday at Capital Area Michigan Works!, focused on Registered Apprenticeships, Pre-Employment Transition Services and Barrier Removal and Employment Success – all programs aligned with the goals of Michigan's first-ever Statewide Workforce Plan to expand career opportunities, strengthen Michigan's workforce, and support employers. “Successful businesses and good-paying jobs strengthen our families and local communities,” said LEO Director Susan Corbin. “Governor Whitmer and LEO are investing in employment and training to equip workers with in-demand skills and businesses with the talent they need to thrive, creating more opportunities for Michiganders and a stronger economy.” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently released her seventh executive budget recommendation that will lower costs, power economic development, and build a brighter future to ensure any person or business can “Make It” in Michigan. The proposed budget includes $19 million to expand access to Registered Apprenticeships, $40.4 million (including a $8.4 million general fund investment to secure $32 million in matching federal funds) for Pre-Employment Transition Support and other vocational rehabilitation services for students with disabilities, and $7.5 million to remove barriers to work. "The stories shared by our local partners and employers highlight the real impact of these investments," said Stephanie Beckhorn, Director of LEO's Office of Employment and Training. "Governor Whitmer's budget recommendations will strengthen workforce development efforts across the state, expanding access to training, Registered Apprenticeships and employment services that empower Michiganders to secure good-paying jobs and build successful careers." Michigan provides employment services to more participants than any other state in the Midwest, is ranked #3 in the nation for helping adults get employed and is #4 in the nation for the number of active Registered Apprentices. LEO's Employment and Training programs are building a stronger Michigan by connecting job seekers to careers and helping businesses grow with the skilled talent they need. Through innovative programs, partnerships and targeted support services, LEO empowers individuals to gain in-demand skills while breaking down barriers to employment. These efforts fuel economic opportunity, ensuring Michigan's workforce is ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
