In this episode, Kate and Sam welcome special guest Joanne Ross Wells, founder of JRW Bridal, an established custom couture bridal brand in Perth, WA. Joanne shares her journey as a global citizen from growing up in Rhodesia, spending time in London and the USA, being born in New Zealand and immigrating to Australia eight years ago. Jo then built her successful business from the ground up.Joanne opens up about the significant curveballs life has thrown her way in recent years, including major health setbacks and family challenges. She reveals the crucial business shifts she was forced to make, like outsourcing production and learning to delegate, which ultimately led to unexpected freedom and growth.This conversation is a must-listen for any entrepreneur struggling with work-life balance, the fear of outsourcing, or tying their personal identity too closely to their business success. Joanne offers powerful lessons on shifting your mindset from "sales" to "service," embracing continuous learning (especially in social media and AI), and the importance of finding your purpose beyond the bottom line.Episode Highlights:The Global Citizen Entrepreneur: Joanne's fascinating heritage (Scottish, South African, born in NZ) and how it influences the global flavour in her design collections.From Lingerie to Couture: The evolution of Joanne's creative journey, from making lingerie as a farmer's wife in Zimbabwe to studying fashion design at age 40.Learning to Dance in the Rain: How Joanne navigated multiple major life challenges (health, family struggles) and structured her business to prioritise relationships over work, thanks to being her own boss.The Freedom of Letting Go: The pivotal moment when Joanne realised that outsourcing production was the necessary path to gaining empty space for creative ideas and avoiding burnout.Identity Crisis in Business: Why entrepreneurs, especially women and personal brands, often struggle with wrapping their self-worth around their business success (and Sam and Kate share their own identity shifts).The Power of Purpose: Joanne's discovery that reading reviews and focusing on the positive impact she has on her brides' wedding days is enough to drive her, shifting focus from ego to service.The Key Mindset Shift: How Joanne overcame being a "shocking salesperson" by changing her focus from "sales" to "service", always seeking to be of service to the bride.Navigating AI & Innovation: How designers are embracing new tools like 3D body scans and virtual try-ons, and why expertise and wisdom remain crucial even with advancements in AI.Niche Networking: Joanne's advice on shifting from broad networking to focused, niche relationship-building with targeted referral partners (like photographers and venues).The 10,000-Hour Rule: Why founders must develop core skills (like pattern making or production) before outsourcing to maintain quality control and avoid getting burned.Are you ready to stop wearing all the hats in your business?Joanne's journey proves that delegation is the key to scaling and surviving challenges.

Plan. Action. Outcome.This episode is a masterclass in authenticity, creative discipline, and how intention shapes every part of your journey.

Khalil and Martin kick off a new series on building business function charts—starting with the foundational step: mapping your workflows.

By learning to map how work actually flows through your operations, contractors and small business owners can improve communication, streamline execution, and lay the groundwork for scalable systems.What You'll LearnThe difference between org charts and function charts—and why both matterHow to map workflows that clearly show how work moves through your businessWhy visualizing processes helps you manage better and reduce confusionHow tools like Kanban boards and AI can simplify workflow designPractical steps to turn mapped workflows into functional business systemsTime Stamps00:54 - Episode Intro02:20 -Understanding Business Function Charts03:12 -Real-World Workflow Example: Sprinkler Company17:54 -Job Scheduling and Preparation19:49 -Execution and Completion23:08 -Creating Workflows with AISnippets from the Episode“Everyone has workflows. Work is flowing through your business if you're in business. But just like you said, the visual is so helpful for understanding where things actually are.” — Khalil“When we had the sprinkler company, we literally had a Kanban table before software existed. Every job was a packet that moved from one step to the next. You could walk in and see exactly where everything was.” — Martin“You can spend an hour with AI and map out your entire workflow—then clearly see what your business actually does.” — Khalil“You should be using AI in this capacity. It's a thought partner—it helps you think through your processes, not just write emails.” — KhalilKey TakeawaysMap Before You Manage – You can't improve what you can't see.Visualize Workflows – Kanban systems make progress visible and predictable.Leverage AI – Use tools like Claude or ChatGPT to build, test, and refine workflows.Clarify Functions – Define what your business actually does, not just who does it.Lay the Foundation – Workflow clarity is the first step to scalable systems and future function charts.Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠24 Things⁠⁠⁠⁠ Construction Business Owners Need to Successfully Hire & Train an Executive Assistant⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠ a 15-Minute Roadblock CallCheck out⁠⁠⁠⁠ OpenPhone⁠⁠⁠⁠Build a Business that Runs without you.

After wrapping Passionate & Prosperous LIVE 2025—our fourth annual event—I realized something that every entrepreneur and high achiever needs to hear: basking and celebrating aren't luxuries, they're strategy.This week's episode of Passionate & Prosperous is about the part of entrepreneurship that doesn't get talked about enough—the space after the big thing. The launch, the event, the win. The part where you stop, breathe, and let yourself feel what you created before rushing into what's next.Because when you give yourself time to celebrate and integrate your accomplishments, you're not losing momentum—you're actually building it. Reflection and celebration are how you leverage your results into confidence, creativity, and sustainable business growth.In this episode, I'm sharing my reflections from this year's event and what it taught me about:Why basking and celebrating are essential to long-term successHow to reframe stress as evidence of expansion rather than something to fixThe importance of creating space for recovery, reflection, and integration in businessWhy celebration and self-care are both leadership and growth strategiesHow to build a business model that honors your energy, not just your ambitionWhether you've just come off a big launch, hosted an event, or reached a personal milestone, this episode will remind you that integration is momentum—and that every accomplishment deserves to be received, celebrated, and remembered.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

You don't need to be Superwoman to run a successful business and raise a family. In this episode, I'm getting real about the “doing it all” mindset that so many moms in business are struggling with. Society tells us we're supposed to manage it all—home, business, kids, self-care—but the truth is, trying to do everything leads to burnout and resentment.I'm breaking down what to do instead through my four-part framework: simplify, outsource, delegate, and say no. You'll hear real-life examples from both business and home life that show how freeing it can be to let go of the unrealistic expectation to do it all and focus on what truly matters.If you've been feeling stretched thin or like you're failing because you can't keep up with the demands of mom and business life, this episode will remind you that you were never meant to do it all—and you don't have to.In this episode, you will learn:Why the “doing it all” mentality is a lie that keeps moms stuck in burnoutMy 4-part framework that will free you from trying to do it allWhat simplifying, outsourcing, and delegating can look like both in your home and businessWhy saying no is one of the best things you can do to protect your peaceResources Mentioned in Today's Episode:Join The Social Media Detox ClubTake the What's Your Visibility Vibe QuizRelated Episodes:Episode 277Ways I Can Serve You:Take the What's Your Visibility Vibe?

The market is more crowded than ever. But it's not the loudest voices that win, it's the most authentic. A brand built on real stories, genuine connection, and aligned values creates trust before the first conversation even happens.This episode is a little uncomfortable but it's also the truth that changed everything for me. No one's choosing you because your brand looks like everyone else's.I used to work 60 hour weeks in my real estate business. I was answering emails late at night, fixing problems, dealing with staff turnover and wondering why I couldn't seem to grow, no matter how hard I worked. Then one day, it hit me. It wasn't my effort that was holding me back, it was that no one actually knew who I was.My brand looked and sounded like every other agency. The same colours, the same language, the same “we care” messaging. And that meant no one could really connect with me. When I finally started building a personal brand that reflected me, my story, my voice, my values, everything shifted.In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shifts, the lessons and the exact moments that helped me stop hiding behind my business and start standing out online.“When you sound and look like everyone else, clients have no reason to choose you.” - Kylie WalkerWe explore:The real reason clients aren't choosing your businessWhy blending in is the fastest way to stay invisibleHow to build a personal brand that attracts, not chases, attentionWhy authenticity builds trust long before you meet a clientThe surprising link between focus and freedomHow showing up as yourself changes everything in businessJoin our new free Masterclass

Let's talk about something that every coach, creative, and entrepreneur secretly fears: critics and reviews.This episode was inspired by (who else?) Taylor Swift. When The Life of a Showgirl dropped last week, my feed exploded with reviews—some glowing, some downright vicious. And as I was sipping my coffee and scrolling through the noise, I found myself thinking a lot about what it means to show up, be visible, and share your work when you know not everyone's going to like it.Because here's the truth: they won't.I've been dealing with critics since I was ten years old—starting on Broadway, where a single bad review could close a show. Then later as a yoga teacher and studio owner, reading someone's nasty Yelp post about my class being “too alignment-based.” And now as a business and life coach, I see it every day: brilliant entrepreneurs holding themselves back because they're scared of what someone might think.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why the fear of judgment and rejection keeps so many entrepreneurs from growing their businessWhat Taylor Swift and Billy Joel can teach us about resilience, artistry, and creative longevityThe difference between constructive critique and destructive criticism—and why most haters aren't qualified to judge your workHow to build the mindset and self-trust that keep you grounded and confident in your businessWhy you can't and shouldn't be for everyone—and how niching down actually gives you more freedom and fulfillmentThe more passionate you are about your work, the scarier it can feel to put it out there. But this is me reminding you that your business will grow faster when you stop trying to please everyone and focus on the people who are truly for you.If you've ever struggled with visibility, rejection, or the fear of being judged, this episode will help you take a deep breath, stay in your lane, and keep showing up for the clients and community who get it.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Property management leadership has never been more demanding, but it's also never been more rewarding. When leaders focus on clarity, communication, and care, they don't just reduce turnover; they build teams who feel valued, trusted and motivated to grow.In this episode I chat with Rachel Atkin who is a respected property management leader with more than 20 years' experience in real estate. As the Property Management Operations Manager and Performance Coach for Harcourts Victoria, she focuses on business growth, team development, and practical support across the network.Named one of Elite Agent's Top 50 Industry Influencers, Rachel is also a RiSE Initiative Influencer, Mental Health First Aid Practitioner, and Inspirational Women Ambassador for Harcourts Victoria. She's a regular speaker at events across Australia and New Zealand, known for her people-first approach to leadership, training, and growth in property management.Rachel reminds us that effective leadership in real estate isn't about knowing it all, it's about understanding your people, showing up with empathy, and committing to your own development as much as theirs.If you've ever felt like you're failing your team, this episode will remind you that great leadership isn't about perfection it's about connection.“ I think people misunderstand that sometimes kindness and calmness in leadership means that you are soft. But actually it's a superpower.You know why? Because it's all about no shades of gray. There is transparency, there's clarity, there is kindness and a supporting factor of people behind that.” - Rachel AtkinWe cover:The importance of having real conversations with your team about how they like to work and what drives themWays to attract and keep great people in your property management businessWhy clear development plans help your team grow and stay on trackWhat servant leadership really means and how kindness can still be strong leadershipSupporting your team's wellbeing through things like the Harcourts Real Care app and mental health first aidTips for managing recruitment and retention challenges in today's property management marketHow to handle tricky client conversations with confidence and empathyUsing feedback and surveys to build better relationships with both owners and renters.Finding and fixing small communication gaps before they turn into bigger problemsThe value of staying curious and always learning as a leaderKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global:

Most guys don't talk about the bad deals they've made. But Ryan Haar does, and his story will sound familiar to anyone who's bought a “great deal” machine that turned into a money pit. Injectors failed, the drive motor quit, and what should have been a win nearly sank him before he got started. But instead of bailing, Ryan stuck with that skid steer, learned the hard lessons, and built Elite Excavation in Olin, Iowa.In this episode, Ryan opens up about what that experience taught him about persistence, referrals, and marketing in a crowded market. His journey proves that sometimes the worst machine can teach you the best lessons.Takeaways:✅The nightmare skid steer purchase that nearly stopped him—and why he still runs it today✅How one driveway job turned into five more through simple word-of-mouth✅Why old-school flyers plus creative videos helped him stand out in a saturated Iowa market✅His personal motto: “Cost to floss—strap in and hold tight” and what it means for businessWhy it Matters:Every contractor knows the sting of bad equipment—but Ryan's story shows how grit and consistency can turn setbacks into stepping stones.Links:

Are you a small business owner feeling overwhelmed by AI? You're not alone. While enterprise companies throw massive budgets at custom AI solutions, you're wondering how to get started without breaking the bank or spending hours learning complex prompts.In this episode, I sit down with Phil Pallen, author of AI for Small Business and creative branding expert, who reveals the simple framework that's helping small business owners find immediate AI wins. Phil shares his journey from studying media and entertainment business to starting his own branding agency in 2011 when his first three clients - a makeup artist, real estate agent, and jewelry designer - all needed help with social media. He also tells the fascinating story of how a client's suggestion to put his tutorial videos on YouTube led to a major publisher reaching out about writing a book on AI.But here's what makes this conversation different: Phil isn't selling you on the latest shiny AI tool. Instead, he's sharing a practical time-tracking method that helps you identify exactly where AI can make the biggest impact in YOUR business - starting with the tasks you hate doing most.You'll discover why custom GPTs aren't the answer for 95% of businesses, how to use AI projects to organize client conversations for better brand storytelling, and Phil's controversial take on why perfect prompts are a myth. Plus, he reveals the email automation system that saves him hours every week (hint: it's not just AI).Whether you're just getting started with AI or feeling scattered across multiple tools, this episode will help you create a sustainable, systematic approach that makes you better at what you already do - not just faster.What You'll Learn:The 3-question framework for identifying AI opportunities in your businessWhy tracking your time is the secret to finding AI quick winsHow to organize AI conversations using projects (and why custom GPTs usually aren't worth it)Phil's email automation system that handles affiliate pitches automaticallyThe tools Phil uses daily for client work and content creationWhy AI should enhance your excellence, not replace your expertiseCommon pitfalls small business owners make when implementing AILinks Mentioned in This EpisodePhil Pallen's Book: AI for Small Business (Available at all major bookstores)Time Tracking Tools:EverHour: everhourRize: rizeEmail Organization Tools:SaneBox: saneboxSerif: serifAI Tools Discussed:ChatGPT Projects: chat.openai.comCLearn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

In this episode, Kirk Reynolds, seasoned founder and now the creator of Wilder Retreats, opens up about the hardest conversations of his career. From telling his 55-person team that he was selling the company without sharing the real reason, to navigating the identity crisis that came when the acquirer shut it down, Kirk reflects on what it means to lead with honesty, even when fear and burnout make it tempting to hide.He also shares how blunt feedback about being a “people pleaser” reshaped the way he manages, and why processing failure and loss is just as important as chasing growth.

Business isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up, screwing up, and learning fast. In this raw episode, Derek and Tim share a hilarious (and humbling) story about being “set up” at an event — and how that ties into the lessons every contractor needs to learn:Why perfection is the enemy of progressHow to keep showing up when you feel embarrassed or unpreparedWhy the “who” is more important than the “how” in businessWhy you don't need to be good at everything — just at what mattersIf you've ever felt like you weren't ready, polished, or “good enough,” this one's for you.=================================================☎️ Waiting until everything's perfect before you pull the trigger? That's why you're stuck. Perfection is the setup that keeps most contractors broke.

You were built to build movements.John 15:18 – “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”Proverbs 28:1 – “The righteous are bold as a lion.”Matthew 5:14–16 – “You are the light of the world...
