Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Running an agency today looks nothing like it did even a few years ago. What used to work: SEO-driven inbound leads, tight vertical niches, and predictable platforms, has shifted fast. Today's featured guest has learned to adapt to these changes and went from having a clear and defined niche to letting clients' needs guide the next steps for her business. She'll talk about navigating those changes, evolving your positioning, and deciding whether you're actually willing to do what adaptation requires. Laryssa Wirstiuk is the owner of Joy Joya, a boutique email and SMS marketing agency that serves women-focused, product-based e-commerce brands. With more than 15 years in marketing and over a decade running her own agency, Laryssa has lived through multiple shifts in platforms, buyer behavior, and agency models. Her background as a marketing generalist, working across SEO, social, and email, gave her the flexibility to adapt as the market changed. That adaptability, combined with a strong point of view on branding, inbound marketing, and outbound growth, made her a great guest for agency owners questioning what's next for their own businesses. In this episode, we'll discuss: Starting out with a clear niche and evolving along the way. Adopting a hybrid growth strategy. Personal brand vs. clear offers.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. How to Choose a Niche Without Getting Stuck In It Laryssa didn't stumble into her original niche by accident. After working across industries like tech, education, and healthcare, she realized none of them truly excited her. Jewelry stood out because of its mix of fashion, storytelling, and creativity. Rather than guessing, she intentionally took in-house and freelance roles in the jewelry industry to build credibility before going all in. That vertical focus paid off. By committing to a specific industry, Laryssa was able to build a strong referral network, speak at trade shows, and create highly targeted content that drove inbound leads. But after nine years in the jewelry space, she noticed that the biggest results she delivered for clients consistently came from email marketing. What started as one service among many became the clear driver of ROI. The shift from a vertical niche (jewelry) to a horizontal specialization (email and SMS marketing) wasn't a sudden pivot. It was a response to real performance data. Stronger results, clearer processes, and deeper expertise made the decision feel natural. Your niche should serve your strengths, not trap you in yesterday's model. Why Inbound Alone Is No Longer Enough For most of Joy Joya's history, inbound marketing did the heavy lifting. Content, SEO, YouTube, and a podcast tailored to the jewelry industry created steady deal flow without much outbound effort. That's one of the biggest benefits of vertical focus: you can dominate a small pond with the right content and relationships. But the market shifted. Search behavior changed. Social algorithms changed and AI entered the picture. Laryssa realized that relying solely on inbound was no longer enough. Over the past year or two, she intentionally started building outbound muscles: cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, and systems that allowed her team to support those efforts. The key insight here isn't that inbound is dead, it's that inbound alone is risky. Agencies that survived and grew were willing to adapt their acquisition mix, even when it meant doing uncomfortable things. The Hard Question Every Agency Owner Faces Adapting isn't just about strategy. You should also ask yourself whether you want to do what's required next. New platforms, new sales motions, and new expectations can trigger an existential crisis for long-time owners. You don't have to love every part of running an agency, but you do need the discipline to face the things you'd rather avoid. The solution isn't grinding forever but rather identifying what you don't enjoy, systemizing it, delegating it, or removing it altogether. Agency owners should get comfortable with change as a necessary part of running an agency. The hard part is that change often targets the things you already tolerate but don't love. That's why many agencies stall. The owners don't hate their situation enough to change it but they don't love it enough to stay fully committed either. When Personal Brand Creates Attention But Not Conversions As AI and recommendation engines influence buying decisions, developing a personal brand becomes vital when it comes to being recommended by these tools. People want to work with leaders whose beliefs, values, and perspectives they understand. That's why podcasts, long-form content, and consistent points of view matter more than ever. In her case, Laryssa shared an unexpected challenge after developing her personal brand. She had built such a strong personal and brand identity that many people understood her perspective but didn't fully understand what her agency actually did. In some cases, prospects were more familiar with the brand name than the services behind it. The lesson for agency owners is balance. Thought leadership without clear offers creates attention without conversion. As platforms evolve, it's not enough to educate—you need to connect that education to the right services, for the right audience, at the right time.

The insured felt like she did everything right. She insured the ring when she bought it, kept it scheduled on her policy, kept up with maintenance, and filed a claim right away when it was stolen. She even submitted the original appraisal for $22,000 so the insurance company would know how much to write on the check. So she was shocked when the insurance payout was only $14,000. Apparently diamonds are cheaper today, but she thinks: "shouldn't the appraisal lock in the cost?"   Notable Timestamps [ 00:45 ] - An insured may assume an appraisal amount guarantees payout, but jewelry claims often hinge on policy type and current replacement cost, not the dollar figure listed on the appraisal. [ 02:00 ] - Jewelry appraisals lack a single governing standard; credentials vary widely, making it critical for carriers to evaluate who prepared the appraisal and whether it meets insurer expectations. [ 04:20 ] - Premiums may be based on a scheduled value, yet replacement cost policies aim to restore the item itself, which can result in payouts lower or higher than the original appraisal. [ 06:10 ] - Clear communication from agents and adjusters about agreed value versus replacement cost policies can prevent frustration and disputes when a jewelry claim is settled. [ 08:10 ] - Replacement cost focuses on replicating the exact item—cut, color, clarity, and materials rather than paying the appraisal number, which can change with market conditions. [ 09:30 ] - It is the insured's responsibility to keep appraisals updated; insurers do not automatically adjust jewelry values for inflation or market shifts in metals and gemstones. [ 11:40 ] - Outdated or inflated appraisals can create claim friction, while modern update tools and reminders help carriers reduce underinsurance and improve customer satisfaction. [ 14:45 ] - Early education about policy limits, valuation methods, and appraisal updates builds trust, supports smoother claims handling, and leads to a more positive claims experience. [ 17:12 ] - Brennan summarizes the key points above.

On this week's The Business of Watches, we head to Villeret, Switzerland, and the storied Swiss watchmaker Minerva. The brand, founded in 1858, is truly the jewel within Montblanc's watchmaking division, which itself is part of Swiss luxury conglomerate Richemont. Laurent Lecamp is the man leading Montblanc and Minerva's watchmaking operations, and he sat down with us for a detailed discussion on Minerva and what he's doing to satisfy the clients that he calls "fans" and not customers. Montblanc and Minerva won't be participating in Watches and Wonders this year, and Lecamp outlines the different paths that the brands are taking within the Richemont group. He also talks about his penchant for running extreme marathons, sometimes wearing a Minerva or Montblanc timepiece. But first, a new format to start the show. We're joined by Hodinkee senior business editor, Mark Kauzlarich, to chew over some of the business headlines making news in the watch world. We talk about potential executive changes in the top job at TAG Heuer and also discuss what we think the business strategy might be behind Omega's new Speedmaster that boasts a ceramic bezel, lacquered dial, and a new price tag. Show Notes 0:30 Montblanc / Minerva 0:45 Audemars Piguet And Ten More Brands To Join Watches And Wonders For 2026 1:00 Minerva Is The Watchmaking Jewel Within Montblanc And Showcases Its Talents With A New Art Piece (Hodinkee) 2:00 Business Montres 3:50 TAG Heuer 5:20 LVMH Watches and Jewelry 7:10 Jean-Christophe Babin (Instagram) 8:50 The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Black & White (Hodinkee) 12:00 Hands-On The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean For 2025 (Hodinkee)15:30 Villeret, Switzerland 16:36 Laurent Lecamp (Instagram) 17:40 GIA (Gemology Institute of America) 19:50 Cyrus Watches23:00 Example of Minerva bezel 26:00 Montblanc's New Minerva Monopusher Chronograph (Hodinkee) 28:20 Montblanc Club M58 (Watchonista) 43:12 Montblanc Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon Château de Versailles (YouTube)48:10 Richemont 51:00 Montblanc Ice Marathon (Revolution) 

Midlife is often framed as a crisis, but what if it's not about everything falling apart? What if it's about what simply becomes no longer tolerable?In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson explores what she calls the “Queenager” season of life, a developmental transition where capacity shifts, nervous system needs change, and old ways of pushing, performing, and people-pleasing start to cost too much. This stage isn't about becoming more or fixing yourself, but about remembering who you are and learning how to listen to your body with honesty and respect.Leah weaves together nervous system science, midlife realities, identity shifts, community, and embodiment, offering a compassionate lens for women who feel themselves changing but don't yet have language for it. If midlife has you questioning your energy, relationships, roles, or expectations, this episode invites you to slow down, release outdated beliefs, and reconnect with your capacity, consent, and self-leadership. She also invites you to come join her community:The Midlife Nervous System Rewire. https://www.skool.com/midlife-nervous-system-rewire/about?ref=06e003b61b8148ebbafd3a067f3cc2e1We'll explore:Midlife isn't about crisis, it's about capacity changingWhat once felt tolerable can quietly become too expensive for the nervous systemThe Queenager season is about remembering, not becomingRest is not a reward, it's an act of self-leadershipHeaviness is not strength, and hiding is not safetyConnection and normalization matter more than fixing or optimizingYour nervous system is the infrastructure behind every decision you makeCheck out The Constance Collective handmade Jewelry https://theconstancecollective.com/LINKS AND RESOURCES:COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

ELIQUARIES, MARRIAGE, AND AMULETS Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. Barraclough explains how religious reliquaries looted from monasteries were often repurposed as jewelry for women in Norway. She discusses the theory that female infanticide may have caused a shortage of women, motivating young men to raid for wealth to secure marriage. The conversation then examines a human skull fragment from Ribe, Denmark, carved with runes. Barraclough interprets this object as a protective amulet against dwarves or elves, which the Norse believed caused sickness, illustrating their concept of an unseen world influencing physical reality.

Every year at this time, I return to the same small ritual. I put on a familiar show, lay a blanket on the floor, and empty my jewelry box. Not to declutter. Not to fix anything, but to notice what's still alive, what's ready to reset, and what wants to be expressed through me next. This short audio reflection is about why so many women mistake transition for a confidence problem—and how learning to read the clues around you can quietly change the way you move forward.Subscribe on your favorite platform at https://www.hueandstyle.com/podcastlinks and turn on your notifications so you don't miss my releases!Start for free: https://www.hueandstyle.com/shop-coursesMy Book (Show Up Confident): http://www.showupconfident.com/Facebook: www.facebook.com/michelecharlesgustafsonInstagram: http://instagram.com/michelecharlesgustafson/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/confidence-shift-podcast.

Ever feel like buying an engagement ring is a minefield? You're not alone. In this episode, Andy talks with Carter—a custom jeweler who's helped hundreds of guys get it right—about the biggest mistakes men make, how to actually get her the ring she wants, and why the "surprise" isn't what you think it is. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The #1 mistake guys make when buying a ring—and how to avoid it Why just "surprising her" is mostly dead (and what actually works now) How to figure out her style (even if she sends you a million new ideas after you buy) The right way to use family stones and heirlooms without losing meaning How to handle the money talk (and why the price is nobody's business but yours) Real-world advice for guys who feel lost or overwhelmed by the process Why finding "your jeweler" matters more than any brand or store Key Quotes from Carter: "The most common mistake guys make is thinking they know what she wants, instead of actually checking with her—or her mom, sister, or best friend." "Jewelry is personal. If it's not her style, she won't wear it, even if you love it." "Don't let anyone pressure you. Take your time, ask questions, and get educated." Why This Episode Matters for Guys Buying Rings: If you're worried about blowing it, or just want to get it right the first time, this episode gives you the real-world playbook: How to get her style right (even if she "changes her mind" halfway through) What to do with family rings and old gold How to set a budget you're actually comfortable with—no three-months-salary BS Why collaborating with a jeweler you trust makes the whole process easier (and way less stressful) Carter's Top Advice: Don't guess. Ask her, or ask her inner circle. If she says "surprise me," a classic round solitaire is your safest bet. Check her Pinterest or Instagram—the answer is probably there. Set your own budget—never go into debt for a ring. Find a jeweler who feels like "your guy"—someone you can text, call, and trust. Who Is Carter? Carter Eve is a custom jeweler, trained goldsmith, and owner of Carter Eve Jewelry, known for heirloom redesigns, value-driven sourcing, and an authentic approach to jewelry design.  She helps guys get the ring right—without the hype or pressure, which makes her a perfect guest for the show.  Resources Mentioned: Carter Eve Jewelry: https://carterevejewelry.com/ Andy's book: The Inappropriate Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring available on Amazon.

One of the great blessings of YouTube is that you and I can go to it to find out how to fix just about anything. I've successfully consulted YouTube to find ways to fix among other things, our washing machine, our car, and our lawnmower. Our kids can go to YouTube to learn as well, and one type of tutorial they can find relates to fake piercings, and how to use powerful little magnets to mimic actual nose, lip, tongue, and ear piercings. One concern related to this practice are the growing reports of kids accidentally swallowing the tiny magnets. This came to our attention when it was reported that a thirteen year old boy had somehow swallowed almost two hundred of these high powered magnets, which proceeded to attach to each other, causing abdomen pain. Surgery was required, and the boy had part of his bowel removed. Parents, we are called by God to protect our kids from harm. Train your kids up to steward their bodies with care. And, be sure to issue a warning about these magnets.

Ever wonder how a diamond actually gets from deep in the earth… to a jeweler's case… to her hand? Part II of Andy's conversation with Ari Jain from House of Diamonds uncovers the real, behind-the-scenes process of how natural diamonds are mined, cut, graded, and selected — long before a consumer ever sees them. If you've ever held a diamond and thought, "Why does this tiny thing cost so much?" This episode gives you an honest, insider explanation. Ari's eight-generation lineage, starting in Jaipur's royal courts, brings a rare perspective on craftsmanship, authenticity, and what truly determines a diamond's value. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How a natural diamond gets to the showcase: The full journey — mining, sorting, rough planning, cutting, polishing, grading, and wholesale — and why each step matters for quality and value. Why two diamonds with the same certificate can be totally different: The human decisions, artistry, and limitations of grading systems that make every stone unique. What "value" in a diamond really means: How to look beyond price and paper to find a stone worth owning. The role of independent jewelers: Why reputable independents reject most stones they see, and how that benefits you as a buyer. How reputation drives the diamond industry: From miners to cutters to retailers, the best people only work with those they trust. Why a diamond should be personal, not perfect: Meaning, story, and character matter more than flawless specs. Key Quotes from Ari: "The consumer only sees the final diamond in the case. They never see the hundreds of hours and decisions that came before it." "A lower-color stone or a stone with visible inclusions can actually be more beautiful. It gives the diamond identity." "Reputation is the most valuable currency in the diamond industry." "When you buy from an independent jeweler, you're getting accountability — and someone who actually cares." "Jewelry isn't just financial. It centers you. It makes you feel something. That's worth paying for." Why This Episode Matters for Engagement Ring Buyers: If you're shopping for an engagement ring — or weighing natural vs. lab-grown — this episode will help you avoid: misunderstanding diamond pricing relying too much on certificates choosing the wrong stone based on specs alone falling for "perfect" stones that look average in person overlooking diamonds with true personality and beauty Understanding the journey of a natural diamond will help you appreciate what you're really buying — and why no two stones are ever the same. Who Is Ari Jain? Ari is part of an eight-generation jewelry legacy originating in Jaipur's royal courts. Today, he's a key member of House of Diamonds, a New York–based natural diamond firm focused on authenticity, transparency, and ethical sourcing. He represents a new generation blending heritage with modern insight.

This week on Groove with Portia, I open with a story close to my heart — a moment when unexpected jewelry reminded me of my uncle's powerful words: “Let go. Let God.” It brought me back to gratitude, to presence, and to the divine ways signs show up in our lives when we need them most.Then I sit down with Rachel Samani, founder of The Honest Jeweler, a woman who took her deepest personal struggles and turned them into soulful reminders of resilience. Rachel shares how her unique spinner rings helped her transform her inner critic into an inner coach, and how grief—especially walking through her daughter's loss of a best friend—became a bridge to deeper empathy, strength, and love.Rachel's brand isn't just about jewelry. It's about wearing your healing and remembering your power every time you look at your hand. From being present for her 14-year-old daughter in the depths of sadness, to learning that silence and holding space are often the most powerful responses—we talk about it all. We also touch on perfectionism, identity, leadership, and how grief reshapes your worldview.She shares the inspiration behind her Naomi Ring, the process of engraving pieces on-site, and how every product she creates carries a story of overcoming. Whether you're navigating loss, trying to build something meaningful, or learning to hear your inner voice again—this episode is your reminder that grief leaves us with gifts, too.Connect with Rachel: https://thehonestjewelershop.com/

"Sustainability, where you can, is always an important resource to go to first… This earth gives us such precious resources, and it's nice to maintain and take care of the earth as well for your children and children to come." —Ashley Berman  The most meaningful jewelry isn't bought, it's reborn. It carries stories, fingerprints, and memories that outshine anything new. In a world chasing trends, there's power in slowing down, honoring what already exists, and turning what once sat in a drawer into something extraordinary. For jewelry designer Ashley Berman, the pandemic reshaped everything. When store shelves closed, she opened a new chapter, helping clients transform heirlooms into modern pieces that carry legacy and beauty in equal measure. Today, through Ashley Morgan Designs, she champions beauty built on story, craftsmanship, and sustainability. In this episode, Justine and Ashley unpack how to build a sustainable jewelry collection, what to ask before buying or recycling gold and stones, and the truth behind lab-grown versus mined diamonds, plus a look into her Holiday Market that celebrates local makers and meaningful design.   Meet Ashley: Ashley Morgan Designs is a Bay Area-based jewelry design company. Ashley Berman, the creative brilliance behind the growing studio, uses her ability to evoke emotion from jewelry to craft pieces of art that are both reflective of individual style as well as the embodiment of personal histories. Ashley's custom designs are intended for individuals who wish to express their own unique spirit and beauty. As opposed to fleeting trends, Ashley draws her inspiration from her clients' stories, traditions, and cultures, as well as the natural world, to create her personalized designs. As a trained goldsmith in San Francisco, Ashley challenges the status quo. She leverages traditional techniques to ensure that all of her unique jewelry designs reflect the beauty and confidence of the people they adorn.

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Jess, the founder of Dainty Diamond, a Toronto-based direct-to-consumer jewelry brand known for its solid gold, sterling silver, diamonds, engagement rings, and wedding bands. Jess shares how her childhood spent in her father's jewelry store planted the early seeds of entrepreneurship—even though she initially resisted joining the family business.

In this uplifting conversation, Mesha sits down with Karen Drucker, the beloved singer-songwriter known for her empowering, heart-centered chants and positive message music. Together, they explore how music can bypass the busy mind, reach the heart, and literally reprogram the messages we carry within us.Karen shares the story behind her journey—from writing songs for healing and affirmation to intentionally countering the negative narratives we often absorb from mainstream music, like “I'm the problem.” Through her “5-year-old test” songwriting approach, movement, and her daily “Dr. Hart” practice of asking, “What does your heart have to say?”, Karen reminds us that music can be a form of medicine—simple, soulful, and profoundly transformative.Tune in for a heartfelt dialogue about the power of simplicity, authenticity, and song—and discover how singing your truth can move you from “I'm the problem” to “I am whole.”Jewelry with meaning ready for gifting HERE!My Karen Druker Playlist HERE!Jump on Karen's email list HERE!Learn about Karen's women's retreat HERE!Connect with Mesha Find Mesha on Instagram Check out Mesha's website Click here for a free mini meditation course with Mesha Click here for The Heart Sync Course with Mesha (where you learn heart coherence) Click here for a free heart meditation with Mesha Click here to learn about the power of your heart And you can always email Mesha at hello@myfriendmesha.com
