The bravest thing you can do as a business owner is admit you do not have all the answers. In this Mini Moment, Jen sits down with Sherri from Timely to talk about why asking for help might just be the most underrated business move you make this year.Timely Answers is the new drop in session format that has been quietly booking out. A community of other business owners, and an open invitation to ask the questions you have been carrying around alone. Because the moment you hear someone else ask the thing you were too nervous to ask, everything shifts.The conversation then opens out into something equally valuable. How small sensory shifts in your service, a hand massage, a foot rub, a scalp moment, the smell of your salon, can move you from another appointment to a memorable experience your client will talk about. And how the energy you bring to your business is the energy your clients walk out with.What we coverThe new Timely Answers drop in sessions and how they workWhy community removes the loneliness of running a salonThe power of realising someone else is asking the same questionHow to think outside the square with higher ticket offeringsWhy regulated business owners create regulated clientsBringing the passion back into your businessWhen you stop trying to do it all alone, everything gets lighter.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

SEO is often positioned as the obvious next step for business growth but the truth is, it's not always the right investment right now.In this episode, I'm sharing a very honest breakdown of when SEO doesn't make sense, when you should wait, and when investing too early can actually slow you down instead of helping you grow. This isn't anti-SEO (far from it). It's about timing, resources, and making strategic decisions based on how your business actually works (not what the internet is shouting at you).We're also talking about what's changing in search right now, including a major Google Search Console update and why big companies doubling down on SEO signals that search-driven marketing is still very much alive — just evolving.This episode is for business owners who want clarity, not hype. If you've been feeling pressure to “do SEO” but aren't sure it's the right move yet, this conversation will help you decide what makes sense for you and what doesn't.

George Hanshaw, Director of eLearning Operations, shares his vision for a future where learning is integrated, engaging, and never boring. He talks about embracing AI, building a culture of experimentation, and why learning and development is the best place to spark organizational transformation. For George, it's all about starting small, iterating fast, and leading with a people-first mindset.Discover how AI-driven support and cultural architecture can drive meaningful change in organizations. Tune in for practical strategies and connect with George at hanshawshorizon.com or on LinkedIn.Show Notes:[0:25] Introducing George HanshawGeorge Hanshaw, an innovative creator and thought leader, is on a mission to eliminate boring learning. Known for his bold, action-first mindset, he brings energy and purpose to reimagining how we design impactful learning experiences.[1:02] The Future of Integrated LearningGeorge Hanshaw imagines a future where "the world gets really blurred" between work and training. He sees tools like augmented reality delivering just-in-time learning, eliminating the need to “clock in on a training number.” Instead, training becomes embedded in daily tasks, enhancing spatial awareness and enabling real-time skill application. As George puts it, “Somebody along the line decided learning was boring—when it's not supposed to be that way.”[4:00] AI Course Assistants and the Human TouchGeorge Hanshaw shares how his institution integrated AI course assistants—named “Spark”—into every course, offering students 24/7 support without replacing human instructors. Designed with Socratic-style prompts, Spark encourages back-and-forth conversations to boost understanding, clarify assignments, and enhance motivation. As George explains, this approach is “radically student-centred” and helps maintain, rather than diminish, the human connection in learning.[6:00] Start Small, Build SmartGeorge Hanshaw encourages a progressive approach to using AI in learning: “Start—just start somewhere—and then iterate outward in concentric circles.” He highlights the impact of using AI assistants for active learning, which led to a 20% increase in student performance. From course support to professor tools and hands-on practice, his method proves that small beginnings can lead to transformative results.[7:30] Shifting Culture for AI IntegrationGeorge points out that embracing AI requires more than just new tools—it demands a cultural shift. Rather than focusing solely on technology, he urges organizations to prioritize integration with a people-first approach. He highlights the importance of appointing a “cultural architect”—someone dedicated to designing the kind of workplace where innovation, learning, and AI-driven support can succeed.[09:40] L&D as a Starting Point for TransformationGeorge highlights Learning & Development as a powerful lever for cultural change, given its reach across all departments. He urges teams to “get comfortable with being uncomfortable,” and view experimentation as a pathway to growth. The message is clear: start small, iterate often, and use L&D to drive the mindset shift needed for the future of work.[12:40] Evolving L&D's Role in the BusinessWhen aligned with business outcomes, L&D can transform from a support function into a strategic partner. George emphasizes that by piloting initiatives and learning from what works—and what doesn't—L&D becomes more than a trainer. It becomes a collaborator, a problem-solver, and a vital force in shaping future-ready organizations.[13:18] Follow George HanshawYou can follow George Hanshaw on LinkedIn, where he actively shares insights on learning, innovation, and organizational transformation.

Data-driven strategies are profitable.Maximizing marketing ROI depends on one, an understanding of your target audience and your goal at that particular point in time so that you don't waste money.Organic content is like setting your house in order. It is the foundation you need for high-converting paid ads.You need an entirely different approach for Instagram, a different one for TikTok, because the psychographics are not the same. It's a different terrain altogether.

Lindsy has become one of my ‘business besties', and someone I've loved getting to work and connect with on a deeper level.

This philosophy is at the heart of Thrill X's approach, and it's what sets them apart in the competitive landscape of digital design.Arsh pointed out a common pitfall among many agencies and web developers: the tendency to prioritize visual appeal over functionality and effectiveness. While a stunning website can capture attention, it's the data-centric approach that truly optimizes user experience and conversion rates. This is where Thrill X shines, bridging the gap between good design and tangible business results.Arsh was generous enough to share some actionable tips for businesses looking to adopt a data-driven design strategy.

“Talking about business from a non-business angle is something that I've really enjoyed being able to do,” says Alex York, entrepreneurship journalist at Insider. Alex covers business innovators who are changing the world, underrepresented founders, the future of work and how it affects the rest of us in our daily lives for Insider. If you're a female founder, it's almost guaranteed that you've read Alex's work before---even if you're just meeting her today. But today it's Alex who's in the hot seat with host, Lindsay Pinchuk, spilling the tea about how to land press as a founder. Alex shares how to stand out in a pitch, best ways to network with reporters, what to do if you keep getting turned down, and so much more. Key takeaways from today's episode include:There are many ways to pitch an editor outside of emailShow who you are as a person outside of your businessWhen pitching, show the notable moment that led to your success or a notable trend you are starting or followingInclude the metrics of success along with that notable momentPut your face on your brand and tell your storyQuotes• “There are so many other ways to really connect with people that you want to tell your story. Whether that's a DM on Instagram or an invite to an event that you're throwing, it can really make a difference to just show who you are as a person beyond what your business is.” (10:07-10:43 | Alex)• “Right now, especially, people are buying products based on who the founder is. And that's why being the face of your brand is so important.” (10:43-10:51 | Alex)• “There are so many pitches I get that are founders doing something great. Point blank. But to differentiate yourself from all the other founders in the world, it's really about how you have innovated on what a lot of other people are doing right now to directly lead to your success.That's what's going to make you stand out as a business owner.” (18:52-19:12 | Alex)Connect with Alex York:Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/alexy0rkPlease don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!You can now work with Lindsay 1:1 to build and monetize your community through the same method she used to grow and scale her business.

In this episode of SaaS Origin Stories, Phil speaks with Geoff Roberts, Co-Founder of Outseta, the only all-in-one platform that integrates subscription billing, email marketing, support, CRM, and reporting tools which reduces costs, maintenance, and helps SaaS startups get off the ground faster. He is also the founder of SaaS Growth Strategy, and was previously the Vice President of Marketing at Roambi.They discuss just how ruthless prioritization within your company can be, the revolutionary, problem solving methodology of Outseta, why you don't need to know everything about SaaS in order to be successful, and the importance of sharing your entrepreneurial journey.Guest at a Glance:Name: Geoff RobertsAbout Geoff: Geoff is the Co-Founder of Outseta, the only all-in-one platform that integrates subscription billing, email marketing, CRM and more which reduces costs and maintenance. It was designed to help SaaS startups get off the ground faster. He is also the founder of SaaS Growth Strategy and was previously the Vice President of Marketing at Roambi.Geoff on LinkedInGeoff's TwitterOutseta on LinkedInOutseta's WebsiteTopics we cover:The problem-solving methodology of OutsetaWhy you know need to know absolutely everything about SaaSThe helpfulness of sharing your entrepreneurial journeyHow ruthless prioritisation within a business can beThe difficulty of having to face the hard truths about your businessWhen your product isn't quite as good as you think it is yetKey Takeaways:The Problem-Solving Methodology of OutsetaIt is said that, in order to build a successful business, you need to create something which either solves a problem/fulfils a need or entertains an audience. In creating Outseta, Geoff was able to solve a hefty amount of business' problems.All SaaS or membership businesses need the same fundamental technological tools: a billing system, a CRM for prospecting customer data, and marketing tools to communicate with customers. Outseta is the only company bringing all of these tools together under one platform. Geoff compares it to the way Shopify works for e-commerce, and just like a lot of the world's best ideas, Outseta was born out of personal experience and agitation towards the complexities of building a company which needed all of these tools. You Don't Need to Know Everything About SaaS to be SuccessfulDespite developing such an ingenious SaaS platform, Geoff reveals that he didn't create Outseta due to any real attachment to SaaS, rather it was out of his love for startups and their evolution. He is also responsible for almost everything at Outseta apart from developing the tools themselves: sales, support, marketing, and internal operations. But how? He claims that his writing degree was probably one of the most beneficial things to happen to him. And yet, despite not having any inherent connection to the SaaS industry, he has been able to make waves and offer a revolutionary, groundbreaking platform for any startup who needs it!Share Your Entrepreneurial Journey into SaaSGeoff recommends that, when starting your SaaS business, share your entrepreneurial journey with the world. It can be incredibly beneficial to show off to everyone how much you've grown. This can develop a sense of trust between yourself and potential new clients and customers. Not only that, but it is naturally interesting to see how a business grows over time. It's like watching evolution in real time.“This is not something I expected going in, but a huge part of our customer acquisition strategy is simply sharing our own entrepreneurial journey. I know that a lot of other founders do that; we're certainly not the first company to do so, but I think it actually worked for us as an acquisition strategy because we sell our product to other founders. Just by sharing our own journey, founders tend to be interested in that kind of stuff.”The Ruthlessness of Prioritization With the sheer quantity of tools that Outseta uses, they had to figure out which aspects to prioritize amidst its creation. In order to do this, they had to look at what it was that all subscription and membership SaaS services use and where they would focus their energies.When beginning your startup, you will have to ruthlessly prioritize your work. Some ideas simply won't make the cut or, at the very least, won't get as much attention as others. But this is okay, just make sure you are prioritizing the right things.Once a Developer, Always a DeveloperGeoff acknowledges that for the first few years of Outseta's existence, they were trying to sell to too much of a niche audience. Instead of trying to sell to business founders, they were selling to founders who were also developers. So, when the time came to pitch to them, they would often just make the tools themselves. This isn't logical, but it is rational, and both parties involved know this; once you're a developer, you can't shed that programmed, coded skin.Know who you're pitching to—a niche audience is good, vital even, but if it's too niche then you may run into some problems.“The hard truth was we were trying to change the predominant behavior of developers. I would have a lot of conversations with developers where I would say ‘It's not the best use of your time to spend all of this time integrating these tools. Why don't you focus your time on building your product rather than building all these tools.' And they would nod and say, ‘That makes a completely logical sense,' and then they would go and build it anyway. It's just what they're accustomed to, even if it didn't make the most logical sense.”Sometimes, the Product Just Isn't Good Enough YetYou could have the best ever idea for a product, but you need to be able to acknowledge that you won't always get it to perfection right away. It'll take time, and there may even be moments when you think it's over, but it doesn't mean it is. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is face the hard truth and think about the way you can improve and be better in order to grow.

We have our last Tax Deduction episode of Season 2! If you've been wondering if you can consider your own personal therapy as a tax deduction, we've got the answer. Julie is joined again by Heidi Stepzinski, and they are talking about the different instances where meeting with a fellow therapist can be a tax deduction!Episode Highlights:Most of the time, personal therapy does NOT count as a tax write-offPersonal therapy is a personal expense, not something related to your businessWhen can meeting with a therapist be considered a tax deduction?When meeting with a colleague for professional advice regarding a clientWhen meeting for supervision, education, or trainingWhen meeting with a business coach for the purpose of your practiceWhen researching a service a therapist offers in order to recommend it to your own clientsA good rule of thumb is - if it's not business related, it is considered a personal expense and cannot be considered a deductionAlways keep thorough documentation when meeting with a therapist for business reasons in order for the meeting to be eligible as a tax deductionDISCLAIMER: Always consult with a tax professional to determine what tax deductions you are eligible for.Links & Resources:GreenOak AccountingTherapy For Your Money Podcast

We're coming out of Winter and moving into Spring, what better time than now to position your business for the next stage of growth. Here are five key points that will help your business reach its goals this year.  1. Client experienceThe biggest topic we've heard over and over again is that today's small businesses need to provide a better client experience. We talked about this topic extensively in our episode with Hank Ebeling of H4 Training (listen here). Why is it when we interact with a small business their quality of work is outstanding but getting them to respond to an email, return a phone call, or send over an estimate is frustrating? Often the answer is the business owner is spending too much of their time working in the business and not on the business. What might seem like busy work to you is what most customers think of as good customer service. The great part though is, just like having the right tools for the job site, the right software can help you automate tasks and provide customer service that matches the quality of your work. 2. Starting a businessWhen it comes to starting a business, a side hustle can be a great way to get started as an entrepreneur. We spoke with Charles Alexander, the Director of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center, and he shared how a side hustle provides a proof of concept (listen here). Growing your business on the side while you continue to work your day job is a solid way to improve your odds of being successful. 3. Launch your business in a way that you aren't just buying yourself a jobThis is an all-too-common pitfall when starting a business. In our episode with Corey Harris and Julie Traxler of SB Pace, they shared how most small business owners that are on the edge of burnout is a result of working harder vs. smarter (listen here). The concept of firing yourself is to get out of the day-to-day operations of the business so that you can focus on the bigger picture – how to improve your offering, find new customers, and delight the customers you do have so they come back for more and give you referrals. Part of the way you can fire yourself is to automate as many of the trivial tasks as possible. Don't overlook this essential step because there is a compounding benefit that is found on the other side.  4. Know your numbersKnowing your numbers all starts with accurate bookkeeping, which not only allows you to borrow money if needed but more importantly allows you to get the data that helps you make better and quicker decisions. Knowing your numbers can help you better understand what products or services are driving profit or if you are even making the profit you thought you were. Many small businesses underprice their services which leaves them with too little profit and can result in failure. That is why smart business owners have adopted the profit-first model we spoke about with Stephen King from GrowthForce (listen here). We also spoke with Danielle Hayden from Kickstart Accounting about how her firm is empowering small business owners with insights so they can grow their businesses faster (listen here). 5. Fix your mindsetAs your business grows, it becomes more and more critical that you approach it with the right mindset. Mikey Moran of Private Label Extensions shared his philosophy: the quicker we can push past those failures, the quicker we can find success on the other side (listen here). As an entrepreneur, you need to be curious, open-minded, and realistic about your weaknesses so you can hire people to fill in those gaps. Don't fall into the trap where you ignore your weaknesses and don't surround yourself with a team that challenges you to grow.   Resources Shared: ThryvHow to Turn Customer Service into a Competitive Advantage – Hank EbelingHow to Start and Grow a Side Hustle into a Successful Small Business - Charles Alexander How to Launch a Business So You're Not Just Buying Yourself a Job - Julie Traxler & Corey HarrisFixing Your Pricing Model Can Help You Live The Dream – Stephen KingHelping Entrepreneurs Understand Their Numbers – Danielle HaydenWhy Having the Right Mindset is Critical to Business Success - Mikey Moran
