Send us a textThis week I sit down with powerhouse Law prof, lawyer, and creative force, Joseline Hardrick to dismantle the myth that success always requires monetization. Together we explore why joy is its own form of wealth, how to resist the pressure to turn every skill into a hustle, and what business owners actually need to prioritize to build a life of meaning, especially in a world that monetizes everything.We cover: The trap of over-adaptation and why joy is a necessary form of self-preservation.Why "not everything has to make you money" needs to be a non-negotiable mindset shift.How to build your life around joy, not the other way around.The 5 forms of wealth beyond money every entrepreneur should protect.The real meaning of freedom, especially for women juggling caregiving and ambition.Whether you're overwhelmed by hustle culture or finally ready to make your business feel like it's actually yours, this episode is your permission slip to start doing things differently.Guest Bio:Meet Joseline Jean-Louis Hardrick, the multitasking dynamo who's rewriting the script for what it means to be a modern-day legal superstar. By day, she's molding the minds of future attorneys as an Associate Professor at Cooley Law School, teaching Constitutional Law and Criminal Law. By night (and probably any other available time), she's the founder and president of Diversity Access Pipeline, Inc., better known as Journey to Esquire ®, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting diversity and providing access to law students through scholarships, leadership programs, podcasts, and blogs and Lawyerish® a business that emperors every legal journey.Connect with Joseline:joselinehardrick.comhttps://www.facebook.com/jhardrick/https://twitter.com/JJHardrickhttps://www.instagram.com/jjhardrick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdbU42gg7FDNrsUzLL0kUmQJourney to Esquire Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@journeytoesq Let Your Light Shine on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1h_eD1pKLj8V01ZJ5mo7PMIhNN8-8mCY Support the showLove what you heard?

My guests today are Rick Ruback and Royce Yudkoff. Rick and Royce are Harvard Business School professors who teach their students how to search for, acquire, and run small business directly after graduation. It has been almost a decade since our first conversation, and unlike many past interviews that have become outdated due to technology or market changes, the core principles they shared about entrepreneurship through acquisition remain remarkably relevant today. They explore fascinating developments in the search-fund ecosystem, including the bifurcation between funded searchers targeting larger companies and self-funded entrepreneurs finding success with smaller businesses. Rick and Royce share their accumulated wisdom on what makes a company worth buying, why the "magic is in the multiples," and how their students consistently achieve impressive returns through patient, value-oriented business acquisition.

In this episode, Zach sits down with friend and colleague Andrew Walker, Director of Industry Communications at GMAC, to unpack the latest insights from the 2025 Prospective Students Survey. They dive into what 5,000 prospective business school candidates around the world are thinking about today — from the growing demand for hands-on AI experiences to the rising importance of human skills, like grit and adaptability. You'll hear why more candidates are prioritizing ROI over program rankings, how financial planning is evolving, and why in-person programs are making a surprising comeback. Whether you're actively applying, just starting to explore your options, or simply curious about what's shaping the future of graduate management education, this conversation offers data-backed insights and practical takeaways you won't want to miss. Takeaways: 46% of business school candidates prioritize AI experiences in their curriculum. Employers value human skills like emotional intelligence and adaptability alongside technical skills. Cost remains a significant barrier for candidates considering business school. Only 29% of candidates prioritize program rankings first when researching schools. Candidates are increasingly looking for direct information from school websites, not AI. The MBA remains the most preferred degree, but interest in business master's programs is growing. Candidates prefer full-time in-person programs over hybrid or online formats post-pandemic. Financial aid is becoming a more significant part of funding education for candidates. Candidates are considering a multi-dimensional approach to their return on investment from business school. Chapters: 01:04 - What is the Prospective Students Survey? 03:00 - The Role of AI in Business Education 07:28 - Financial Considerations for Business School Candidates 11:49 - The Importance of Program Rankings 15:43 - Shifting Preferences in Business Degrees 18:09 - Program Delivery Formats and Trends 22:23 - Key Takeaways and Future Insights

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Kyle Van Deusen, who runs a small web agency in Richmond, Virginia, and founded "The Admin Bar," a community for freelancers and agency owners. They discuss the 2025 WordPress Professional Survey, which Kyle conducted to gather insights from web professionals. The survey, which received 1,233 responses, highlights the experiences and challenges faced by freelancers and agency owners.Top TakeawaysMany Agency Owners Lack Business Fundamentals: A lot of agency owners start by accident, not with a business plan. As a result, many undercharge and lack confidence in setting prices. Kyle pointed out that few are reaching their income goals—not due to market limits, but because they don't know what's possible. This shows a big need for basic business education around pricing, value, and financial planning.Marketing and Networking Are Largely Overlooked: Nearly 60% of respondents aren't doing in-person networking, and many aren't investing in marketing. Too many rely on being found organically, which isn't enough anymore. Kyle and Michelle highlighted that growth requires showing up, building relationships, and actively promoting your services.Community Helps Build Confidence and Clarity: Talking with peers can shift your mindset and pricing strategy. Kyle shared how learning what others charged helped him raise his rates confidently. Community support helps agency owners avoid mistakes, learn faster, and feel less alone in their journey.The Survey Is a Valuable, Underused Resource: Kyle stressed that the real power of the survey lies in how people use it. By digging into the data, agency owners can find paths others have taken to success. The more participation it gets, the more valuable and representative it becomes for the whole community.Mentioned in the Show:https://theadminbar.com/2025-survey/https://theadminbar.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/2147806538801573

Send us a textIn this episode, I finally introduce myself properly (yeah, it's overdue) and go deep on a topic that isn't getting the respect it deserves: self-trust—not the cute, Pinterest version, but the kind that builds empires, not burnout.I break down how self-trust is conditioned out of ambitious women from a young age, why most of us succeed in spite of ourselves, and how that leads to overthinking, hesitation, and outsourcing our decisions to people who don't hold our vision.More importantly, I show you why self-trust is not a mindset issue—it's a leadership strategy. And if you're stuck in clarity limbo, there's a reason for that. It's not confusion. It's disconnection from your own authority.This isn't soft coaching. It's power reclamation. If that's what you're ready for, join me live for The Self-Trust Reset on May 6, 2025.

Welcome to Grit & Growth's final episode. After five years and 90 episodes, we've asked four Stanford GSB professors who teach in the Seed Transformation Program to tell us what they've learned — about the grit of intrepid entrepreneurs working in emerging economies and the growth they've experienced in their own teaching.Jesper Sorensen, Baba Shiv, Jonathan Levav, and Sarah Soule are all Stanford Graduate School of Business professors who have also spent years with Seed teaching business leaders from nearly 30 countries to grow and scale their companies. Their reflections include key takeaways about the resilience, honesty, and heart required to overcome unique challenges and the joy in seeing them triumph. As teachers, these professors also know how to learn from their students. And they've incorporated many of those lessons in the MBA and Executive Education programs back at Stanford.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stripped of my phone, my routines, and my digital reflexes, I was forced to sit with my own thoughts — and what came up wasn't just discomfort, but truth. I unpack the toxic grip of “pics or it didn't happen” culture, the myth of clarity through consumption, and why most ambitious women are chasing goals they didn't even choose. If you've been feeling disconnected from your own ambition, this one will hit hard, and leave you asking better questions.Support the showLove what you heard?

Scott discusses his early entrepreneurial experiences, his transition from teaching to corporate roles, and how he eventually found his passion in coaching. He emphasizes the importance of mindset, accountability, and reframing failure as a learning opportunity. Scott also highlights the significance of having external support and resources in the coaching process. In this conversation, Scott Maderer and The Accidental Entrepreneur discuss the differences between coaching and consulting, common mistakes entrepreneurs make, the importance of understanding business finances, the fear of failure, and the reality of business education versus real-world experience. They emphasize the need for a balanced skill set in entrepreneurship, including technical, business, and soft skills, and highlight the importance of learning from failures as part of the entrepreneurial journey. In this conversation, Scott Maderer and The Accidental Entrepreneur discuss the limitations of law school, the importance of mentorship in business, the characteristics that define successful entrepreneurs, and the need for businesses to understand their customers and employees better. They emphasize the significance of having a clear vision, consistency, and the ability to adapt to changing needs in both personal and professional realms. Takeaways Scott's entrepreneurial spirit began at a young age. He transitioned from teaching to corporate leadership before coaching. Coaching is about asking the right questions and accountability. Many people self-sabotage due to limiting beliefs. Reframing failure as an experiment can reduce pressure. Mindset plays a crucial role in personal and professional success. External support can provide valuable perspectives. Scott's coaching evolved from personal finance to broader business coaching. The importance of community and masterminds in coaching. Tools and techniques are essential for effective coaching. Many coaches lack formal training despite their success. Consultants provide specific solutions, while coaches offer tools for personal growth. Entrepreneurs often neglect the business and mindset aspects of running a business. Understanding finances is crucial for business sustainability. Failure is a natural part of the learning process in entrepreneurship. Many entrepreneurs mix personal and business finances, leading to issues. It's important to have a basic understanding of business operations. Real-world experience is often more valuable than formal education. Skills learned in one area can be transferable to another. Accountability can help entrepreneurs stay on track with their business goals. Law school focuses on passing the bar rather than practical skills. Mentorship is crucial for navigating business challenges. Successful entrepreneurs have a clear vision of their goals. Consistency and stick-to-itiveness are key traits for success. Understanding customer needs is essential for business growth. Employee engagement is vital for a positive work environment. Many businesses fail due to a lack of planning and support.

Perkenalkan Denica Riadini-Flesch, seorang mantan ekonom yang menjadi pengusaha. Ia sedih melihat perjuangan para pengrajin dan petani tradisional di pedesaan Indonesia sehingga ia mendirikan perusahaan untuk membantu mengubah hidup mereka. SukkhaCitta adalah merek mode dari petani-ke-lemari, yang mengembalikan daya kepada para perempuan yang membuat pakaian kita. Misinya: mengakhiri eksploitasi terhadap perempuan dan sekaligus meregenerasi planet ini.Menyeimbangkan tujuan dan keuntungan, sekaligus melawan permintaan masyarakat akan fast fashion adalah upaya yang cukup berat. Pakaian murah yang diproduksi oleh peretail pasar massal membebani para perajin kecil di mana-mana. Namun, dampak fast fashion terhadap planet kita bahkan lebih dramatis. Industri ini bertanggung jawab atas 10 persen emisi karbon global. Memproduksi satu kaos katun saja bisa menghabiskan 2.700 liter air. Dan semua tekstil yang dibuang menumpuk di tempat pembuangan sampah, menambah 92 juta ton sampah setiap tahun. Begitu Riadini-Flesch mulai memperhatikan cara pembuatan pakaian, ia tahu bahwa ia harus melakukan sesuatu. “Dalam ekonomi kerajinan, pada dasarnya mereka membuat sesuatu selama enam bulan, dan baru setelah itu mereka mencoba menjualnya. Namun pada saat itu, perempuan tidak memiliki daya tawar. Mereka membutuhkan uang tunai agar keluarga mereka bisa bertahan hidup. Dan itulah mengapa sektor ini juga dipenuhi dengan begitu banyak eksploitasi,” jelasnya.Riadini-Flesch mengambil pendekatan holistik, memperluas akses ke pendidikan dan pasar, dan bisnisnya berfokus pada kalender pertanian, bukan kalender mode. “Kami adalah perusahaan sosial. Apa yang kami lakukan di desa-desa didanai oleh bisnis kami. Jadi pada dasarnya, untuk setiap yang dibeli, pelanggan kami memulai siklus regenerasi di desa-desa kami. Dan karena hanya menggunakan bahan alami dan pewarna alami, pakaian kami hanya butuh sekitar dua hingga empat minggu agar terurai sepenuhnya kembali ke tanah,” katanya.Mempelajari cara mengembangkan bisnis sambil mempertahankan nilai-nilai yang dipegangnya membuat Denica memikirkan kembali definisi kesuksesannya. Ia mengatakan, “Pertumbuhan bukan hal buruk, selama kita tahu apa yang ‘cukup' bagi kita. Dan begitu kita mencapainya, kita mempertahankannya. Kita mencari cara untuk menjaga semua orang yang terlibat. Kita mencari cara untuk memberi lebih banyak daripada yang kita terima. Dan ketika itu, bisnis bisa benar-benar menjadi kekuatan untuk kebaikan.”Dengarkan kisah inspiratif Riadini-Flesch dan bagaimana ia menciptakan perusahaan sosial yang memberi kesempatan nyata bagi perempuan di Indonesia, bukan hanya bantuan.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A new definition of luxury construction! Though this definition is not built over-night. Devon Vought, President of VoughtConstructionInc.com, has built a foundation of how to step into the world of luxury. Shining light on process, procedures, and quality control. Listen, Share, & Enjoy!

Meet Denica Riadini-Flesch, a former economist turned entrepreneur, who was so saddened by the struggles of traditional artisans and farmers in rural Indonesia that she created a company to help change their lives. SukkhaCitta is a farm-to-closet fashion brand that puts power back in the hands of the women who make our clothes. Its mission: to end the exploitation of women and simultaneously regenerate the planet. Balancing purpose and profit while fighting society's demand for fast fashion is a challenging endeavor. Inexpensive clothing produced by mass market retailers puts a strain on small artisans everywhere. But fast fashion's impact on the planet is even more dramatic. The industry is responsible for as much as 10 percent of global carbon emissions. Producing a single cotton T-shirt can take 2,700 liters of water. And all the textiles that are thrown away pile up in landfills, adding 92 million tons of waste each year. Once Riadini-Flesch began really looking at how clothes are made, she knew she had to do something about it. “In the craft economy, you basically make something for up to six months, and only then they try to sell it. But at that moment, women don't have any bargaining power. She needs the cash for her family to survive. And that's how this sector is filled with so much exploitation,” she explains.Riadini-Flesch took a holistic approach, expanding access to both education and markets, and her business focuses on a farming calendar, not a fashion calendar. “We're a social enterprise. What we do in the villages is being funded by our business. So in essence, with every that our customers buy, they start this cycle of regeneration in our villages. And our clothes, because we use only natural materials and natural dyes, it takes only about two to four weeks for it to completely biodegrade back to the soil,” she says.Learning how to grow her business while maintaining her values means rethinking her definition of success. She says “Growth is not evil, as long as we know what is our ‘enough.' And once we hit it, we maintain. We find ways to take care of everyone who's involved. We find ways to give back more than we take. And in that sense, businesses can actually become a force for good.”Hear Riadini-Flesch's inspiring story and how she's creating a social enterprise that gives women in Indonesia true opportunities rather than aid.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meet Wyclife Omondi, co-founder of BuuPass, a company committed to tackling one of Africa's biggest challenges: transportation inefficiency. The solution seemed simple enough – digital ticketing – but making it happen took persistence, adaptation, and plenty of strategic pivots. Learn about Omondi's entrepreneurial journey as he scales to include other modes of transportation and expands across the African continent.Born and raised in Kenya, Omondi studied in Singapore and the United States, and only returned to Africa after entering a student competition with his future BuuPass co-founder. Their winning business model to use digital ticketing to bring transparency and efficiency to Africa's transportation system came with a $1 million grant!Seamless movement across Africa is BuuPass's mission, but the road to get there has been far from seamless. While the company is named after a Swahili slang term for bus, the business model was transferable to other modes of transportation, including trains and planes. Expanding across borders created even more opportunities, but with that came more regulatory and cultural obstacles. With a flexible mindset and willingness to pivot, Omondi keeps thinking bigger while raising venture capital, including from Silicon Valley investors, to achieve hypergrowth.Omondi admits that entrepreneurship is hard. “It's your baby, and you don't want anyone to correct your baby, and you're so tied to it. That makes pivoting a bit difficult. If something doesn't work, we reiterate and go. But also in Africa, when you go alone, you go this far, but when we go together, we can go much further.

Meet Santhoshi Sushma Buddhiraju, CEO and cofounder of Autocracy Machinery, a heavy machinery manufacturing company located in southern India. The idea for her company began with a simple question: Why is India, the world's largest consumer, so reliant on imported machinery? Answering that question entailed bold risks, fearless leadership, and personal sacrifice.Santhoshi had a strong foundation to start a business, even one that was extremely male-dominated. She got a world class education at IIT Madras, created a food delivery start-up on the side, received a prestigious internship at Georgia Tech in the United States, and ultimately built her corporate career at HSBC. But solving local problems in her home country of India captured her imagination and fueled her resolve.While most entrepreneurs were shutting down their businesses during COVID, Santhoshi was launching her start-up with a vision to transform India's infrastructure and economy through local manufacturing expertise. According to Santhoshi, India imported $43 billion in machinery in the last financial year alone. “That's huge,” she says, “and imagine being the biggest population of the world, the biggest consumer of goods. And then we realized why are we not manufacturing our stuff and very basic stuff? You have more manpower than anybody can imagine and imagine what magic you can do,” she declares.Santhoshi identified and capitalized on an enormous opportunity. She explains: “Our cities are developing, our ecosystem is developing, and our population is rising. What India is trying to do is build a better utility network – water pipelines, gas, electricity, digital networks, cable, optical fiber networks, all of this to every household. And it all requires machinery. There's a need. There's an opportunity. Why don't we manufacture the machines, machines which we are importing at $150K?” And so she did, manufacturing machinery that was cheaper, faster, and responsive to local needs, first in the utility industry and now in many others.Hear how Santhoshi is breaking down barriers, listening to her customers, relying on her team, and encouraging entrepreneurs to do the same.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
