Feeling like you're never going to get resources to support your legal function? Kathy Zhu has been there. Facing an endless demand for her time and limited resources to meet the business need at DoorDash, Kathy as head of Commercial Contracting, built relationships with her key customers and a process to help her team manage and communicate priorities within the company. She was so successful in showing her team's value (and their resource needs), her clients actually donated their own headcount to the legal department so she could serve them better. Seeing the value of process, tools and relationships, Kathy and her co-founder built a tool (Streamline AI) to help in-house legal departments manage their workload and generate metrics to make the case for more resources. In this episode, Kathy shares how she managed "the bottomless pit of need" using Google forms as a bush fix before Streamline AI was born. She shares:Why transparency and vulnerability are a superpower for building relationships with your key clientsHow using metrics can help you "speak CFO" and tell the story of your legal departmentWhy understanding the stage of the company and what's needed can help lawyers deliver better services

Ever wondered why it's so hard to get business leaders interested in team wellness? In this conversation with Alex Cartmill, operator of Vibrant Yoga, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of wellness and business leadership."If the leader doesn't have a personal issue, they're likely not going to recognize an issue in the team," Alex explains, revealing one of the biggest challenges in bringing yoga and wellness practices into corporate environments. From discussing how to "open the door" with skeptical executives to exploring what happens when team members discover their purpose (and sometimes leave), this episode offers rare insights into the human side of business wellness.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Otis suggests "Hard Rock Yoga" as a potential way to break through to resistant clients—and Alex doesn't immediately dismiss the idea. There's a genuine exploration of how wellness practices need to meet people where they are, not where wellness professionals wish they would be.Whether you're a business leader curious about team wellness or a wellness professional trying to break into the corporate world, this episode offers practical wisdom about building bridges between these often-disconnected domains.More About Alex:Alex has been an entrepreneur his entire life and now runs a business as an operator for other growing organizations -- through both hands-on & advisory work. Alex is currently helping manage Vibrant Yoga, a corporate & private wellness company based out of Chicago. After a short stint as a Personal Trainer, Alex began managing a business development program and mentorship for health professionals, building a team of more than 10 and taking in over 6,000 students during his 4-year stint there. Since then, Alex has been managing businesses and projects for a variety of remote organizations, from General Manager of Personal Trainer certification body Fitness Mentors, to Director of Operations of marketing consultancy Forget The Funnel, to continuously growing and adapting his own business as an operator. Alex resides in Portland, OR, with his furry companion, Charlie.Join their live session on September 25 on https://www.instagram.com/vibrant.yoga/.

I will never stop sharing my love for social media. Why? Because it's one of the most powerful tools we have as business owners. And yet, so many photographers I work with are afraid of it. They worry about being vulnerable, about what showing up online says about them, and as a result, they hold back.But here's the truth: these limiting beliefs are keeping you from booking clients on Instagram. It doesn't matter how solid your strategy is or how many content ideas you have—if you can't work through these beliefs, you'll struggle to see results.In this episode, I'm breaking down the most common beliefs I hear (and have struggled with myself!) and how to start talking back to those scary voices in your head so you can finally use social media to connect with the right people and book more clients.What you'll learn in this episode:Why “nobody cares” and “I'm not that interesting” are lies you're telling yourselfHow practicing is the only way to get better at showing up onlineWhy your life doesn't need to look perfectly aesthetic to attract clientsHow to share what feels comfortable while still making genuine connectionsWhy “professionalism” doesn't mean hiding who you areThe power of recognizing your red flag thoughts and shifting them into possibilityCONNECT WITH MADDIE:InstagramWebsiteLINKSGrab your free spot in my Booked Up and In-Demand Masterclass: September 23 at noon CST - learn the content system that fills your calendar with premium clientsRebrand Group CoachingUltimate Personal Brand Session Shot List – Free DownloadFull show notes

If you've ever felt like real estate was taking more out of you than it was giving back, you're not alone. Long hours, constant pressure, and the never ending chase for results can leave even the most driven people running on empty. Burnout creeps in quietly, and before you know it, your health, relationships, and love for the job start to suffer.But what if there was another way? What if success wasn't about doing more, but about doing things differently, listening to yourself, leaning into resilience, and building a business that works for you, not against you?In this episode I chat to Chris Henry, who knows that story all too well. Starting his career in the trades before stepping into his mum's real estate business in the Hunter Valley, Chris pushed himself hard in the early years. Chasing the big agent dream eventually landed him in hospital with burnout, forcing him to rethink what success really looks like. Today, he leads River Realty with a focus on people, culture and long term growth, and shares openly about the role of vulnerability, coaching and intuition in creating a more sustainable career.“  A lot of people that I've noticed give up a little too easily on things. And they make some decisions in an emotional moment and completely blow up their current life because of an emotional reaction to something. And so I think over time get as much coaching and training as you can. If you are wanting to develop in real estate, then find a coach that resonates with you. And look at what you want to improve in and seek out those people that are good at those sorts of aspects of your career. Never stop learning and always be the student.” - Chris HenryWe cover:The signs of burnout and what happens if you ignore them, including the impact it can have on both your health and your businessWhy vulnerability is key to better leadership, and how being open and honest can strengthen your relationships with both your team and your clientsHow intuition helps you make the right calls in business and life, especially when the obvious answer isn't always the best oneThe role of coaching and personal development in building resilience, and why it's so important to keep investing in yourself along the wayWhy property management is such a strong foundation for future leaders, giving people real world skills they can carry into any area of real estateWhat it really takes to grow a business without losing yourself along the way, and how to stay true to your values while still chasing growthKylie'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:

This episode comes straight from a moment of clarity — as I was packing for our family's beach house, something hit me. Not the house, not the milestone... but the decisions it took to get here.Truth is, the life and business you're dreaming of?

It's built long before you're ready, through bold moves and scary leaps.In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation I wish someone had with me earlier — about what it really takes to build a business that supports your life, instead of running it. And I break it down in a way that's simple, actionable, and real.
