Podcasts about business sustainability

AI is changing how people discover, evaluate, trust, buy, create, hire, and compete. The bigger question is whether your business model is built to survive a future where attention is fragmented, trust is harder to earn, execution is easier to automate, and buyers have more options than ever. Learn how to activate the M.A.S.S. Effect Business Model, a strategic ecosystem built around: • Media to create attention, trust, authority, and discoverability • Assets to create scalability, leverage, and income beyond your direct time • Strategy to create clarity, alignment, interpretation, and better decisions • Systems to reduce friction, support consistency, and keep the business moving Many businesses are addicted to acquisition because they never built retention. In an AI accelerated world, that becomes dangerous because information is easier to access, skills are being compressed, and execution is becoming automated. The real value now shifts toward trust, experience, clarity, influence, systems, and community. The future belongs to adaptive businesses that can evolve with the market, keep customers connected, turn trust into retention, and scale without breaking the founder, team, or customer experience. If your business grew tomorrow, could it actually hold the growth, or would the model collapse under the weight of what you asked for?

Most people think companies change because they care. That is rarely how it works. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we break down what actually forces companies to stop harming the ocean, and why awareness alone is often not enough. Ocean Conservation pressure can come from many places: lost customers, public campaigns, employee pushback, investor concern, regulation, or personal wake-up calls inside leadership. You'll hear real examples, including how some businesses transformed when staying the same became too costly. Business Sustainability matters because if we understand what creates real change, we can stop wasting energy on tactics that do not work. This episode will help you think more strategically about advocacy, accountability, and protecting the ocean in a world shaped by business decisions.

Susanne Mariga is an expert in finance and she's been doing taxes for clients since she was a 14-year old in her dad's accounting office. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If your business is busy but your bank balance never reflects it, something is broken and it's not your work ethic. Suzanne Mariga, CPA, fractional CFO, and CEO of the award-winning Mariga Group joins me in a conversation about the money mistake she sees again and again: founders pushing for years, sometimes decades, and still having nothing to show for it.Suzanne explains the Profit First method in plain language, including the five-bank-account setup that creates instant clarity around cash flow management: income, profit, owner's pay, tax, and operating expenses. She explains why focusing on building net worth is a better strategy than “saving tax” through spending. She says, pay yourself properly so that your business stops quietly relying on your unpaid labour. Other topics we discuss include: Preparing for a leap from corporate lifeThe art of remaining flexible and open to change How fractional C-suite fiance support helps build stronger accounting systemsA quick chat about AI Tools for Small Business. If you want healthier margins, better cash flow, and a business you could one day sell, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.LOST IN TRANSLATIONRoth IRA - The American retirement fund - similar to the RA contribution for South Africans and private pension funds of the EU region. Support the showNEWSLETTER, stay in the loop and subscribe to our newsletterSUPPORT this work so that we can keep it free.

Wie gelingt der Einstieg ins Thema Nachhaltigkeit auch ohne großes Vorwissen? Welche Tools bringen wirklich Bewegung in Strategieprozesse und Teamarbeit?

Welcome back to a brand new season of Courage and Chaos! Today's episode kicks it all off with a very raw and honest chat about business sustainability- which is just a fancy way of saying how to make it through the tough times as an entrepreneur, and how to keep yourself going! I've broken today's episode down into four tough “phases” you may find yourself going through in your business, and how I navigated each one: from worldwide pandemics and the cost of living crisis to how to show up when it feels like the world is on fire, to working through grief and personal challenges (complete with a stint in burnout mode) and figuring out how to manage pregnancy, maternity leave, and returning to work. This episode is for anyone who is going through a tough time in their business or their life- it's real, it's raw and it's full of lessons learned the hard way and practical tips and advice you can apply, whatever situation you're in. I hope you'll find it helpful and relatable and feel a little less alone.   Thanks for joining the conversation!   Don't forget to like/follow the podcast to stay up to date on new episodes, and if you like what you hear please give us a share!

A candid, behind-the-scenes chat about building a business that actually fits your life. We dig into what's really changed in the market (especially in the last 6 to12 months), and Jess's Ordinary Business movement, a refreshing change to the sensational online “seven-figure in seven minutes” online business model. What You'll Learn The Case for the “Ordinary” Business Why sustainable, profitable, low-overhead businesses deserve more spotlight than vanity metrics. The hidden math behind big revenue screenshots (and how ad & team spend change the story). Market Shifts You Should Actually Act On How buyers' trust and attention have changed since 2020 and what that means for your funnel. Why specific > generic: niche offers that solve one clear problem are outperforming broad “everything” courses. Designing for Your Life, Not the Algorithm Building to your energy and capacity (e.g., solo by choice, tiny teams, or seasonal support). Different ways to win: more profit with fewer people, same income with fewer hours, or thoughtful growth that doesn't torch your calendar.

She's proudly remained a solo operator (with light support), prioritizing profit, margin, and a business that fits real life, which inspired her to launch The Ordinary Business.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and today we're closing out our September series on revenue streams with a vital topic that every entrepreneur needs to revisit regularly: sustainability. Over the past few weeks, we've uncovered what your revenue streams are, explored ways to diversify them, and even talked about innovating them for greater profitability. But what happens after you've done all that? The next step is evaluating whether those revenue streams are actually sustainable over time. This is where the real test begins—because building income is one thing, but ensuring it continues consistently, profitably, and without draining you dry is another story entirely. (00:00) What Does “Sustainable Revenue” Really Mean? Sustainability isn't just about whether your revenue streams are making money today. It's about whether they can keep performing tomorrow, next quarter, and years down the line without depleting your energy or resources. (02:00) Auditing Time, Money, and Energy The first step is to audit each revenue stream (04:00) Evaluating Scalability Sustainability often comes down to scalability. In other words, can you grow revenue without growing stress? (05:00) Red Flags to Watch Out For Not all revenue streams are as solid as they look.  (06:00) Creating a Quarterly Review Process A sustainable business isn't set-it-and-forget-it—you need to regularly check in. That's why I recommend a quarterly review.  (07:00) Checking Alignment with Your Vision Finally, sustainability isn't just financial—it's personal. Sometimes we hold onto revenue streams because they're working, not because they align with our long-term goals. Closing Thoughts Evaluating sustainability isn't always glamorous, but it's the difference between building a hustle and building a legacy. Money matters—but momentum, mental health, and mission matter even more. If today's episode sparked some ideas for you, I'd love to hear from you. And don't forget, I've opened up the Entrepreneur Incubator, a four-week experience to help you clarify your brand, build a strategy, and actually implement it.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and today I want to talk about something that can completely shift the way you grow your business: preparing before you're in a pinch. This episode continues our August series on essential business resources—how to identify them, use them, and in this case, build them before you desperately need them. I'm sharing how to proactively lay the foundation for future launches, new services, or growth seasons so that you're not starting from scratch every time. If you're ready to build a sustainable business that can expand with ease, you're in the right place.

With a background spanning operational leadership at Rolls-Royce, strategic advisory at BCG, and now sustainable investing at IMCO, Youssef Aroub brings sharp analysis to the intersection of nature and private markets. In this episode, Jenn and Youssef explore why biodiversity is climbing the investor agenda and how businesses can start weaving nature considerations into their core strategy. From data centres in drought zones to cocoa supply chains driving deforestation, nature risk is increasingly business risk.
