I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'In this episode of Treat Your Business, Katie is joined by Philippa and Bruno for a quarterly Coach's Corner conversation about the real patterns they're seeing with clinic owners right now and what actually creates lasting transformation in business.Bruno shares candidly what life and business felt like before joining Thrive, including the anxiety, overwhelm, and “winging it” that left him feeling like he was running the ship blind. Together, they unpack why so many clinic owners look for a simple checklist, why people often want to quit right before a breakthrough, and how money, stress, and fear can quietly drive decision-making without us realising.This episode is a powerful reminder that strategy matters, but the biggest growth comes when you're willing to be coached, stay open-minded, and do the uncomfortable work that moves you towards the future version of yourself.Main Topics Covered:Why “winging it” in business creates anxiety, chaos, and a lack of directionWhat clinic owners are really looking for when they ask for “the checklist”The moment many people try to quit right before a breakthrough, and why it happensHow community and trust reduce fear of judgement and help you move fasterWhy money is often used as a socially acceptable excuse, and how to reframe it as an investmentThe “that won't work for my business” mindset, and how curiosity changes resultsHow stress and overwhelm shut down clear thinking and keep you stuck in survival modeWhy busy work feels productive (dopamine) but doesn't move the needleWhat makes someone truly coachable, and why trust and courage matterThe biggest return from coaching: becoming your future self and embracing fear as a signalWhat hasn't changed at the heart of Thrive: boldness, integrity, transparency, and impactThank you for tuning into this episode. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to quit because growth feels uncomfortable, let this be your reminder: you don't need more information, you need the right support, the right focus, and the willingness to take the next brave step forward.Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by Klatch: Results-driven marketing built for healthcare companies.

"Send us a message!"What if someone asked you the questions you usually avoid asking yourself?In this episode, we tried something completely different. We asked AI to interview us, not to generate answers, but to challenge the way we think about leadership, business, culture, growth, relationships, and running a salon.The result wasn't a conversation about artificial intelligence.It became a conversation about reflection.From hiring and education to leadership, core values, profit, partnerships, parenting, and personal growth, these questions forced us to slow down and think about what we've learned over the past several years of building Hello Hair Co.Whether you're an established owner or just getting started, these are the kinds of questions that don't always have easy answers, but they often lead to better ones.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.Sometimes the best way to grow is simply to ask yourself better questions.Here's the prompt we used to create the questions.Key TakeawaysBetter questions lead to better leadership. AI is a tool—not a replacement for critical thinking.  Strong businesses evolve because their leaders stay curious.  Experience often creates humility, not certainty.  Great partnerships require different perspectives.  Leadership is built through intentional conversations.  Core values simplify difficult decisions.  Culture is created through consistency, not slogans.  Growth comes from reflection as much as action.  The quality of your answers depends on the quality of your questions.Time Stamps00:00 — Episode 251 + introducing the AI interview experiment 01:00 — Opening takes: developing staff intentionally 03:00 — AI isn't a replacement for thinking 05:00 — Question 1: Beliefs we've changed over time 07:00 — Question 2: Business mentors and influence 08:00 — Question 3: What people misunderstand about us 10:00 — Question 4: What we've learned from each other 14:00 — Question 5: What we hope our children learn 16:00 — Question 6: Advice we no longer believe is universal 18:00 — Question 7: One skill every owner should master 20:00 — Question 8: Risks worth taking 22:00 — Question 9: Why we've ignored conventional wisdom 25:00 — Question 10: What people don't see behind the scenes 27:00 — Question 11: Beliefs we're unlikely to change 29:00 — Question 12: What could have caused Hello Hair to fail 33:00 — Question 13: Becoming less certain with experience 36:00 — Question 14: Compliments that meant the most 39:00 — Question 15: The hardest core value to lose 41:00 — Final reflections on asking better questionsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

If I had to sum up this week in one word, it would be pivot. Not because everything went wrong, but because almost everything required me to adjust. My work. My expectations.

In this inspiring episode, Allison sits down with entrepreneur and Sun Drunk founder Cat Lepetit to discuss her remarkable journey from leading some of the world's most recognizable beauty brands to building a thriving lifestyle business rooted in joy, purpose, and coastal living. After spending more than two decades climbing the corporate ladder with companies like Sephora, Benefit Cosmetics, Makeup Forever, and Murad, Cat found herself questioning what success truly meant.

He's acquired 26 companies and now focuses on buy-and-build growth, ethical deal-making, and leading without ego.   Key Discussion Themes: - Why the leap from a small business to a large one is psychological, not financial - Buy-and-build M&A and structuring win-win deals that let owners keep equity - Removing yourself from operations to focus on strategy and acquisitions - The role of mentors and personal development in overcoming limiting beliefs - Preparing for AI disruption and volatility instead of becoming a victim of it   Listener Takeaway: Your biggest growth ceiling is usually your own belief about what you're capable of.

Friends and business can be a tricky mix, especially when you're putting yourself out there and the people closest to you seem silent. In this Quick Tip episode, Fiona explores why friends don't always engage with your content, why that doesn't automatically mean they're unsupportive, and the stories we can create when we're looking for validation online.

Send us Fan MailAre you actually resting, or are you just escaping?In this solo episode of The Mindset Cafe Podcast, Devan Gonzalez breaks down the difference between real rest and avoidance disguised as self-care. Taking a break, sleeping in, skipping the gym, watching Netflix, scrolling your phone, or stepping away from work can all look like rest on the outside — but the real question is what happens after.Real rest helps you recover, think clearly, regulate your emotions, and return to your standards. Escape gives you short-term relief but creates long-term pressure, guilt, anxiety, and more distance from the life you know you need to face.This episode will help you identify whether your “break” is actually helping you come back stronger or quietly lowering your standard. Devan breaks down real-life examples in fitness, business, mindset, relationships, and personal discipline so you can stop running from what needs to be handled and start building planned recovery with purpose.You'll learn how to tell the difference between rest and escape, why self-care can become a trap when it removes accountability, how avoidance shows up in fitness and entrepreneurship, and the simple test to know whether your break is restoring you or pulling you further off track.If you've been feeling burned out, unmotivated, behind, anxious, guilty, or disconnected, this episode will challenge you to be honest without attacking yourself. Rest if you need rest. But stop running and calling it recovery.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/Let me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------Are you taking the right supplements to maximize your mind and body in fitness & health.

Gen Z is booing AI at graduations…even though over half of them use it regularly. Are we letting fear, not facts, drive the conversation? In this episode, David and Londa unpack the backlash against AI in recent commencement speeches, from Eric Schmidt's booed address to music execs facing student pushback. They dig into Gallup data on Gen Z's real attitudes toward AI, explore how fear-mongering and weak critical thinking distort the narrative, and argue for curiosity and adaptability instead of panic. The conversation then connects tech anxiety to real-world decisions in business and real estate—urging listeners to focus on long-term needs, not short-term noise. Three business takeaways 1. Fear is bad strategy. Letting anxiety about AI (or any tech shift) drive decisions keeps leaders reactive instead of innovative. 2. Adoption beats avoidance. Early, thoughtful use of AI creates leverage in markets like real estate and mortgages while competitors are still resisting change. 3. Think in decades, not days. Whether it's tech or property, focus on long-term fundamentals and real needs rather than chasing or fleeing short-term headlines. #AIGraduation #GenZAndAI #BusinessMindset #AdaptOrGetLeftBehind #RealEstateAndAI
