Podcasts about business strategy

This one's raw. Tender. And so incredibly real. My client came into this conversation thinking she needed clarity. She was looking for the right answers—about her role, her goals, her business. But what came out was something much more vulnerable: the pressure to perform, the fear of letting people down, and the quiet ache of not being fully seen. This episode is a front-row seat to what happens when a powerful woman stops performing and starts telling the truth. Here's what we explore: The invisible cost of always being ‘the capable one' What it really feels like to outgrow your own success How to let your soul lead—especially when your head says, “Just keep going” This is the unfiltered, Beyond the CEO moment so many women never get to speak out loud—but you'll hear it here.

The golden age of affiliate sites may be behind us, but can affiliate sites still make good money? And are websites in general still a good investment? In this episode, Greg speaks with Nathan Hamilton, a former equity analyst who shifted into buying and growing online businesses. Nathan recently acquired dividend.watch, a dividend investing platform that helps users discover stocks, track income, and manage their portfolios in one place. Nathan explains how Google's algorithm updates and the rise of AI have reshaped the affiliate landscape. While many content sites have struggled, he shares which strategies still work and what kinds of online businesses are best positioned for success today. He also walks through his acquisition process, what he looks for in a deal, how he evaluates growth potential, and why he moved away from affiliate sites in favor of more product-driven platforms. As a non-technical buyer, Nathan offers helpful lessons on managing a tech-heavy site without technical expertise. Drawing from his financial background, Nathan compares investing in online businesses to buying stocks, weighing the risks, rewards, and potential ROI of each. Finally, Nathan flips the script on Greg, asking how he's seeing affiliate site owners adapt to today's SEO challenges and what strategies successful operators are using to diversify their traffic and revenue streams. If you're wondering whether content sites still have a future, or you're a would-be investor trying to choose between stocks and digital businesses, this episode is packed with firsthand insight you won't want to miss.

What happens when climbing the ladder no longer feels like success? In this episode, Erin Paturzo shares her honest journey from the corporate world to startups—and finally, to building a freedom-first online business as a mom. If you've been wondering whether it's too late (or too risky) to pivot, this story will remind you: the most aligned success often begins after we dare to change course.     Important Links: Momergy Essentials - Home | Momergy Essentials Iva Perez - The Momergy Movement Desiree Gonzalez - Oily Essentials Follow us on: Facebook Facebook Mom Bosses Abroad Instagram@Mom.bosses.abroad Instagram @MomergyMovement Instagram @desiree_oilyessentials Instagram   Guest Bio   Meet Erin, a mom of one, who has been living in the UAE for 16 years. When her aviation career ended in 2020, she quickly realized how challenging it was to find flexible work that allowed her to be a present mother and wife. Having always been financially independent, relying on her husband wasn't the path she envisioned for herself. She ventured into entrepreneurship but soon discovered it demanded even more of her time and a constant financial investment, which didn't align with the lifestyle she desired. While researching the best water options for her family, Erin discovered Enagic and its incredible business model, which offered the flexibility to work around her family's schedule while earning a substantial income. Now, she's passionate about helping women living abroad find a balance between financial independence and being present for their families.       IG @erin_paturzo       Resources Alright mamas, we get this question all the time: “What are your go-to products that actually help your family stay well and thrive?” And the truth is, we don't do complicated. We do powerful basics that work with our bodies and our lifestyles. It really comes down to four essentials that have become non-negotiable for us.

If you're tired of being the person everything runs through, this episode will show you exactly how to build a business that flows instead of drains.

Mars is moving into Virgo on June 17th, and honestly? It's about time. Mars has been in Cancer and Leo since September last year and so this transit feels VERY welcome. We've been in this extended period of learning how to express ourselves authentically, how to speak our truth not for applause, but because it's genuinely ours. But here's the thing - all that beautiful self-expression and creative energy? It means nothing if we can't ground it into something tangible. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what Mars in Virgo means for your business, the powerful aspects happening during this transit, and how to use this energy to build systems that actually support your vision instead of working against it.In this episode, I share:

Feeling ready to shout about your offer from the rooftops? Before you hit “post” or start your launch countdown, pause. In this episode, I'm walking you through seven key areas you need to have fully dialled in before you start selling. These are the foundational pieces that can make or break your results.From your offer's transformation to your checkout page and even your link in bio, these are the bits that often get overlooked (and yes, I've seen it all). If you've ever wondered why your offer isn't converting like you hoped, this checklist-style episode will help you find the missing link. It's the stuff that helps you sell with more confidence and makes your potential buyers trust that you've got your shit together.Whether you're launching for the first time or giving your offer a summer refresh, this is a non-negotiable listen. Get your house in order, lock in these seven essentials, and you'll go into your next sales push with more clarity, confidence, and consistency.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe seven must-have pieces to get in place before you start sellingWhy your “offer result” matters more than the features you're listingHow missing a price point—or hiding it—can kill conversionsThe one area that instantly builds trust post-purchase (and most people forget it)Why your checkout, sales page, and link in bio are doing more than you think"Selling is about trust, and trust starts the moment someone clicks your link, not when they pay."And if you want support in action, the next live round of Parade kicks off on June 30th.

This one hit deep. I'm talking to a founder who's done everything “right.” Built the business. Achieved success. Carried the weight. But now… she's just tired. Tired of running, of holding it all together, of pretending she still wants what she once did. She thought we'd be talking about planning and priorities. Instead, we had one of the most honest conversations I've ever had with a woman who's quietly—and bravely—acknowledging that her current chapter is over.

Dr. Henman breaks down why culture alone isn't enough—and how strategy, clarity, and critical thinking must take center stage in high-stakes decision-making. Drawing from real-world examples like Mercy, Cleveland Clinic, and Banner Health, she explains how top-performing healthcare systems succeed by making the right calls, not just the popular ones. We dive into: Why leaders must stop chasing abstract ideals and start thinking analytically How to make hard decisions in mergers, crises, and operational pivots Why many executives fail to assess risks objectively The overlooked power of dispassionate leadership Lessons from POWs (including John McCain) that shape high-resilience decision-making How healthcare leaders can inspire real innovation—without losing control

All right, I think all of you would agree—regardless of your role or area of expertise in this industry—that learning from the mistakes of others saves you time, money, and, most importantly, nerve cells. Because let's be honest, trial and error is great… until it's your budget on the line. So, today we have Reed on the show to help us skip some of those growing pains. He's here to share what's working, what's not, and some fresh, thought-provoking approaches to both app marketing and development. Whether you're scaling a product or just getting started, I think you'll walk away with a few insights worth stealing—or at least borrowing. After founding the Business Strategy team at Branch six years ago, former strategy consultant Reed Kuhn has worked closely with hundreds of customers across verticals. Along the way, he's picked up some sharp lessons—not just about best practices, but more importantly, about what not to do. In this episode, we'll explore guiding objectives for app product owners and marketers, the greatest hits of killer use cases, mobile growth fails, and some simple ideas to make more from what you already have. Plus, we'll look ahead with some bold predictions about how all of us will interact with apps in the AI-powered future. Today's topics include: Reed Kuhn's bio What is Branch.io A guiding principle for what brings value to app users Common mistakes A quick win in app development Effective strategies New strategies on the Reed's radar What's coming up - in the near future and far out Links and Resources: Reed Kuhn on LinkedIn Get in touch with the Branch.io team Branch.io website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Reed Kuhn: "Over the years, so many of our customers fall into two big buckets. And this is, I think, the simplest framework that I have for differentiating between apps and what they're trying to achieve in terms of value. And that is you have commerce apps, which are the most obvious ones. This is your retailers, fashion, even quick serve restaurants, fast food chains, Starbucks, and also the big box retailers, the best buys of the world, even department stores like Nordstrom. Those are commerce apps. Users primarily are going in there to shop. And hopefully, they actually buy something. And we do know that conversion rates are much higher in apps than on mobile web or even desktop. So those are easy to wrap your head around. The app exists to make it much easier for the user to shop and, in some cases, actually get support. If you want to manage a delivery or send something back, you can do that in the app rather than having to call someone up. On the flip side, you have apps that don't really sell you anything, but they still serve a very important purpose to the user. So I call those companion apps and they're more diverse than commerce apps. So whereas commerce apps are very conversion focused, companion apps are much more feature focused. It's, I able to access information? So almost everybody is going to have their credit card or bank app on their phone, or at least they should be at this point. If they don't want to go there in person." Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

Michele Williams   We're working on the wrong initiatives, the wrong plans, and things that might support us in the short term, but not in the long term. Michele Williams   I would like to work with an intentionality on where I'm going, what I'm doing, who I'm doing with, and how I'm going to show up in the world, because that brings me peace.

MARKETING MESSAGE WITH EMOTION When you create your call to action in your podcast, you need a powerful marketing message. You need to inspire your audience into action. People buy with emotion. Then they justify that purchase with logic. Your marketing message needs to stir emotion within your potential clients.   00:00 "Stir Emotions to Attract Clients" 06:11 Corporate Sales Journey Reflection 06:54 Entrepreneurial Challenges and Marketing Insight 12:17 Hewlett Packard's Transformative Culture 14:22 Affordable Marketing Feedback Strategy 17:52 Product Brand Clarity Essentials 22:05 Cheese and Crackers Surprise 25:33 Importance of Market Research 30:05 "Master Your Message Program" 32:01 "Opinion Diversity in Marketing" 36:55 Realtor Specializing in Divorce Sales 39:15 Defining Your Target Audience 41:21 "30 Seconds to Impress" 44:27 "Podcast Coaching Session Offer"   GET YOUR MARKETING MESSAGE TO LAND Do you ever feel like your podcast marketing message just isn't landing with your audience? You're crafting awesome content, but somehow your message isn't converting listeners to clients. This week, I sit down with business strategist Nicki Chang-Powless to dig into the secrets behind creating a compelling, actionable marketing message for your podcast and business. If you want your audience to grow—and more importantly, move them to action—this episode is tailor-made for you. LEAD WITH CONNECTION, NOT CONTENT Your audience listens for companionship. They aren't downloading your latest episode just to be informed—they want to feel connected, understood, and guided. If your call to action only shows up at the end of your show, you're missing out! Listeners don't always make it to the last minute. We break down how to bake your call to action and marketing message throughout your show. This allows you meet your audience where they are and inspire them to take the next step. It's not about dumping information. It's about creating relatable, emotionally resonant moments that build trust and authority. THE POWER OF TARGETED MESSAGING In the episode, Nicki drives home the essential truth: if you're marketing to “everyone,” you're speaking to no one. We talk about how getting laser-focused on your target audience changes everything. Imagine you're a massage therapist—what you say to a stressed-out parent versus a retired senior makes all the difference. Nicki lays out how to tailor your marketing message so it resonates with the exact audience you want to attract. We dig into practical strategies for clarifying your product brand, refining your offer, and using feedback and collaboration to fine-tune your pitch. COLLABORATION & CONSISTENCY WIN Nicki reveals her biggest lessons from corporate life at Hewlett Packard: the magic of collaboration and consistency.
