The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast
#871 What do you imagine when you think of a solopreneur? I thought it was about building a business entirely on your own, never asking anyone for help. This gave me a sense of control, especially after losing my architecture job. Whether my brand would succeed or fail, more than anything, I wanted it to be on my terms! Here's the spoiler alert, though. You can't do it alone if you want to make it as an entrepreneur. Believe me, I know the objections: "Hiring is expensive." "Managing people is annoying." But how do we get over these hurdles to level up our businesses? In this episode, I share the hidden costs of going solo and the exact process I've used to find people who would 10x my growth. I discuss overcoming perfectionism, the contrast between collaboration and networking, and red flags to look out for when dealing with people. Join me for this session!

In episode 239 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy reflects on the pivotal moment that led him to leave a stable, decade-long career and choose the uncertain path of entrepreneurship. Triggered by a tough boardroom conversation during the height of COVID-19, Kelly shares how that moment became the spark that launched Capital Business Development and, eventually, this very podcast. He opens up about trading security for freedom, the drive to make a greater impact, and the mindset shift it took to finally build something of his own.This episode delivers powerful lessons from Kelly's journey—breaking down the illusion of job security, the importance of taking action before you're ready, and the real truths about building a business from the ground up. It's a raw, motivating conversation filled with encouragement for entrepreneurs at any stage. If you're wrestling with the decision to leap, this episode might be the push you've been waiting for.Key Takeaways: 1. Sometimes the hardest conversations become the catalyst for the biggest breakthroughs.2. Entrepreneurship starts when you realize employment isn't as safe as it seems.3. Freedom of time, purpose, location, and income is worth the risk.4. In the early days, your effort is the business—there's no backup engine.5. Consistency beats talent, motivation, and passion—every single time.6. You'll overestimate what you can do in one year and underestimate what's possible in five.7. Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room—build wisely.8. Version one will likely suck. That's the price of building something great.9. The best opportunities won't be the ones you planned—they'll be the ones you're ready for.10. There will never be a perfect time to start. You create the right time by moving.Ready to build your business development engine?

“What does it feel like to be a customer of your business? How are you treating your customers? How are you making them want to not just come back, but tell their friends?”Brittany Hodak's story reminds us that a truly fulfilling speaking career comes from real clarity and intentionality, not chasing every gig or opportunity that comes along. She didn't set out to become a speaker—her journey began with launching a marketing agency for some of music's biggest names, which eventually led to media attention, a Shark Tank appearance, and eventually speaking invitations. Only after saying yes a few times did Brittany realize the demand—and value—for her insights on creating “superfans” through customer experience.However, Brittany's growth wasn't from one big break. It stemmed from consistently refining her message, learning to say no (even to well-paid opportunities), and protecting her priorities—especially bedtime routines with her two young kids. Instead of chasing every opportunity, Brittany focused relentlessly on her message: helping organizations build loyal customers. By sticking to her lane, turning down distractions, and showing up with real, tested insights, she's built a thriving speaking business on her own terms. What can we learn from Brittany? Success isn't about being everywhere or everything. It's about knowing who you serve, being consistent, and building your work around what matters most!You'll learn:Balancing a speaking career and family lifeFocusing on customer experience and creating superfansDetermining the right number of speaking engagementsEvolving your speaking niche and messagingDeveloping signature keynotes and customizationUsing humor and engagement in presentationsProductizing knowledgeAnd much, much more!“You have to stay on one path if you want to be known for that.”Episode ResourcesBrittany's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How do you build a globally scaled seafood company rooted in ancient Japanese techniques, humane animal treatment, and radical transparency – all before the age of 26? Meet Saif Khawaja, the founder and CEO of Seremoni, a startup that's reinventing the seafood industry from the ground up. Launched in 2024, Seremoni is a vertically integrated company setting a new benchmark for quality and ethics in seafood by merging time-honored Japanese craft with cutting-edge technology. To bring his vision to life, Saif assembled a dream team: engineers from SpaceX, veterans from premium seafood brands, and small-scale fishermen from across the globe. His mission? To build a new kind of supply chain – one powered by empathy, precision engineering, and economic equity – and to make Michelin-quality seafood accessible to everyone. In this episode, Saif shares how a Wharton thesis and a philosophical reckoning ignited a radical idea. He walks us through the early days of grit and experimentation, the challenges of leading teams twice his age, and why he believes world-changing companies are often born from deep moral conviction, not spreadsheets. Show notes: 0:25: Saif Khawaja, Founder & CEO, Seremoni – Saif opens up about how reading Peter Singer's essay “If Fish Could Scream” profoundly impacted him and inspired the development of Seremoni and how his hands-on experience as a commercial fisherman exposed him to artisanal methods and the biology of how stress affects flavor and decomposition in fish. He talks about how the company's tools and robotics scale ikejime techniques in the U.S., pursuing vertical integration to ensure quality and pay fishermen more fairly, and how he convinced investors, chefs and retailers to buy into his vision. Saif also discusses his management of a growing team of over 30 people, and how he is building a values-driven movement that is guided by a strong moral compass.

Relationships show up in every part of our lives—from romance to friendships, from how we handle money to our health. Yet, so often, we get stuck blaming the other person when things get tough. What if the real issue isn't “them” at all?In this episode, I invite you to flip the script: What if the struggles in your relationships are actually about you—about how you relate to yourself? True love isn't something the other person gives you; it's the emotion that you create inside yourself, with the other person simply as the catalyst.You'll discover: — Why the power to transform your relationships lives within you, not “out there” — How chasing love, approval, or control only deepens a sense of lack and insecurity — The surprising role of the “law of relativity” in how we experience connection and contrast — Why every trigger is really about the story you believe about yourself in that moment — How healing your relationship with yourself frees you to create authentic, loving relationshipsThis episode is for anyone ready to stop exhausting themselves trying to control others or circumstances—and instead become the author of their own experience. When you change your inner story, you change everything.If you're ready to stop blaming and start owning your power, this one's for you.–Connect with Deanna:Instagram: @deannaherrinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

Angela Vranich is the co-founder and chief product officer of the baby-and-kids food brand Little Spoon. Angela jump-started her career while still in college by founding a nationwide organic food marketing company. After graduation, she got a job in television, producing culinary competition reality shows out of Philadelphia. But she quickly realized it wasn't for her. After a cross-country move to be with her then-boyfriend (now husband and co-founder), who ran an organic foods distribution company, she began to think about what food categories on the market were due for a shake-up. She realized that the baby-food space had been dominated by the same single player for nearly 90 years—and set out to change that. The result is Little Spoon, launched in 2017, which offers fresh-cooked baby food made with organic ingredients. Little Spoon sold a million meals in its first year, and in the years since, it has expanded to include all types of meals for children up to 10 years old. Today, they're the #1 online destination for kids' food and have delivered more than 35 million meals to families nationwide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
You've probably heard the advice: “Ease back into it.” But when it comes to content, business, fitness—anything that demands discipline—easing back in is often the reason you never get momentum again. In this episode of Built By Business, I explain why jumping straight into the fire is the fastest way to rebuild consistency. Whether you've fallen off your podcast routine, stopped posting, or feel burnt out in your business, this is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. P.S. We just hit 10 daily episodes in a row.
As I reflect on my 19-year journey in network marketing, I want to discuss the importance of boldness, commitment, and positivity in achieving success, and present 6 lessons I am grateful for from working in this business.
