I opened up an Ask Me Anything all about business because this is what so many of you are quietly thinking about: “How do I even start?”“What could I actually do for myself?”“How do I know what to post?”“And how does this work if I'm a mom or working full time?” So in this episode, I'm answering it all. No fluff. No highlight reel. Just real talk from my own journey. In this episode, I share: What “working for yourself” can actually look like (hint: it doesn't have to start big or scary) How to identify what you could do as a business, even if you feel like you have “no ideas” How I think about content when I'm posting online without overthinking every post What consistency really looks like when you're juggling kids, work, life, and exhaustion How I built my business over time instead of all at once The mindset shifts that helped me stop waiting to feel “ready” My story (and why I get it) I didn't wake up one day with a perfectly mapped-out business plan. I started where I was, with the season I was in. I've built this alongside motherhood, changing priorities, and real life responsibilities. This episode is for you if: You want more flexibility but don't know where to begin You're curious about online business but feel overwhelmed You're already posting but unsure if you're “doing it right” You're trying to balance ambition with being present at home Tools I use to keep it simple I also talk about how I keep my business organized and sustainable using Kajabi.

Xmas Special: Software Industry Transformation - Why Software Development Must Mature Welcome to the 2025 Xmas special - a five-episode deep dive into how software as an industry needs to transform. In this opening episode, we explore the fundamental disconnect between how we manage software and what software actually is. From small businesses to global infrastructure, software has become the backbone of modern society, yet we continue to manage it with tools designed for building ships in the 1800s. This episode sets the stage for understanding why software development must evolve into a mature discipline. Software Runs Everything Now "Without any single piece, I couldn't operate - and I'm tiny. Scale this reality up: software isn't just in tech companies anymore." Even the smallest businesses today run entirely on software infrastructure. A small consulting and media business depends on WordPress for websites, Kajabi for courses, Stripe for payments, Quaderno for accounting, plus email, calendar, CRM systems, and AI assistants for content creation. The challenge? We're managing this critical infrastructure with tools designed for building physical structures with fixed requirements - an approach that fundamentally misunderstands what software is and how it evolves. This disconnect has to change. The Oscillation Between Technology and Process "AI amplifies our ability to create software, but doesn't solve the fundamental process problems of maintaining, evolving, and enhancing that software over its lifetime." Software improvement follows a predictable pattern: technology leaps forward, then processes must adapt to manage the new complexity. In the 1960s-70s, we moved from machine code to COBOL and Fortran, which was revolutionary but led to the "software crisis" when we couldn't manage the resulting complexity. This eventually drove us toward structured programming and object-oriented programming as process responses, which, in turn, resulted in technology changes! Today, AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude make writing code absurdly easy - but writing code was never the hard part. Robert Glass documents in "Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering" that maintenance typically consumes between 40 and 80 percent of software costs, making "maintenance" probably the most important life cycle phase. We're overdue for a process evolution that addresses the real challenge: maintaining, evolving, and enhancing software over its lifetime. Software Creates An Expanding Possibility Space "If they'd treated it like a construction project ('ship v1.0 and we're done'), it would never have reached that value." Traditional project management assumes fixed scope, known solutions, and a definable "done" state. The Sydney Opera House exemplifies this: designed in 1957, completed in 1973, ten times over budget, with the architect resigning - but once built, it stands with "minimal" (compared to initial cost) maintenance. Software operates fundamentally differently. Slack started as an internal tool for a failed gaming company called Glitch in 2013. When the game failed, they noticed their communication tool was special and pivoted entirely. After launching in 2014, Slack continuously evolved based on user feedback: adding threads in 2017, calls in 2016, workflow builder in 2019, and Canvas in 2023. Each addition changed what was possible in organizational communication. In 2021, Salesforce acquired Slack for $27.7 billion precisely because it kept evolving with user needs. The key difference is that software creates possibility space that didn't exist before, and that space keeps expanding through continuous evolution. Software Is Societal Infrastructure "This wasn't a cyber attack - it was a software update gone wrong." Software has become essential societal infrastructure, not optional and not just for tech companies. In July 2024, a faulty software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike crashed 8.5 million Windows computers globally. Airlines grounded flights, hospitals canceled surgeries, banks couldn't process transactions, and 911 services went down. The global cost exceeded $10 billion. This wasn't an attack - it was a routine update that failed catastrophically. AWS outages in 2021 and 2023 took down major portions of the internet, stopping Netflix, Disney+, Robinhood, and Ring doorbells from working. CloudFlare outages similarly cascaded across daily-use services. When software fails, society fails. We cannot keep managing something this critical with tools designed for building physical things with fixed requirements. Project management was brilliant for its era, but that era isn't this one. The Path Ahead: Four Critical Challenges "The software industry doesn't just need better tools - it needs to become a mature discipline." This five-episode series will address how we mature as an industry by facing four critical challenges: Episode 2: The Project Management Trap - Why we think in terms of projects, dates, scope, and "done" when software is never done, and how this mindset prevents us from treating software as a living capability Episode 3: What's Already Working - The better approaches we've already discovered, including iterative delivery, feedback loops, and continuous improvement, with real examples of companies doing this well Episode 4: The Organizational Immune System - Why better approaches aren't universal, how organizations unconsciously resist what would help them, and the hidden forces preventing adoption Episode 5: Software-Native Organizations - What it means to truly be a software-native organization, transforming how the business thinks, not just using agile on teams Software is too important to our society to keep getting it wrong. We have much of the knowledge we need - the challenge is adoption and evolution. Over the next four episodes, we'll build this case together, starting with understanding why we keep falling into the same trap. References For Further Reading Glass, Robert L.

In this raw, year-end episode, Human Design, Gene Keys & AI Business Coach Kehla G takes listeners inside the most honest breakdown of her entrepreneurial journey yet — a year marked by grief, fraud, financial contraction, ruptured relationships, backend collapse, and a complete restructuring of what leadership looks like for the next era of online business. Instead of hiding the mess, Kehla names every layer of it. And while the 2025 coaching industry leaned heavily into identity-led branding, performative “evolutions,” and hype-driven movements, Kehla reveals the quieter — and far more powerful — shift she experienced: She stopped softening herself to match an industry performing its evolution. She stopped cushioning her boundaries. She stopped mothering clients who needed truth, not comfort. She stopped diluting her genius to avoid being misinterpreted. She stopped holding together systems, friendships, and offers that were already collapsing. This episode marks the moment she stepped into structural maturity: precision, directness, intentionality, and a business model built on rhythm instead of forever-access hoarding. Kehla shares what actually cracked open beneath the surface — the death of old identities, the end of rescuing, the void that forced her into total surrender, and the rebuild that followed as she left Kajabi, rebuilt her backend, simplified her offers, and embraced a cleaner, sharper, more architected way of doing business. For entrepreneurs navigating their own unraveling, this episode offers a grounded, SEO-rich reflection on the future of the coaching industry, Human Design–aligned leadership, Gene Keys–inspired refinement, and the collective shift toward precision as we move into 2026. Inside this episode, Kehla explores: ✨ What Actually Happened — loss, fraud, financial collapse, ruptures, the void

Today's conversation fits under the P of Pause Yes, I tricked you. Obviously Pause is not a word from the Humane Marketing Mandala. That's right. I'm putting the podcast on pause in 2026. Some of you know that I'm co-creating a new community called Inner Development at work, all around the Inner Development Guide framework, where we want to change the world, starting from within. Sound similar to Humane Marketing. That's right. I was practicing this framework before it even existed. Anyways, that community takes up a lot of my pro bono time right now, and I simply have to do in my own business, what I often help my 1on1 Coaching clients do in theirs: look at all the things we're doing, and then prioritizing which ones to continue to invest energy in. And unfortunately the podcast didn't make the cut. As you might know, creating and hosting a podcast takes a LOT of time, and I simply need and want to focus this time on other things right now. So I'm pressing pause right now. Pause but not Full Stop. Because I might still publish an episode occassionally, whenever I meet a new amazing human being that I just want to have a conversation with. So don't unsubscribe completely. Talking about unsubscribe. I also moved the show to Kajabi (because they include the podcast in my plan) and just transferred all the episodes over the other day. And guess how many episodes there was? 327! Yes, I know, the visuals say 220, but I've actually been podcasting long before the Humane Marketing podcast. The first show was called ‘Where Introverts Grow Their Business', then I renamed it to ‘The Gentle Business Revolution', which finally morphed into ‘The Humane Marketing Show'So yes, 327 episodes. Wow. I think I deserve a pause

It lets creators publish posts that go both to an email inbox and a web page, with built-in tools for paid subscriptions and community engagement (comments, chat, Notes).Kit (formerly Converkit)Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is an email-marketing platform designed for creators who want more control over audience relationships, automation, and monetization — not just basic newsletters. It includes advanced segmentation, automation workflows, and tools for selling digital products alongside newsletters.Growing Your ListI talk about the low conversion rate for newsletter signups—typically only 3-5% of your audience might subscribe, and having a strong lead magnet helps increase that number.Personally, I use my newsletter in a hybrid way: I share my thoughts on podcasting, updates on my latest content, things that have caught my eye, and a call to check out the School of Podcasting. However, if your main goal is marketing, Substack isn't the best choice. Tools like Kit, MailerLite, and Beehiv are better for things like automated sequences, lead magnets, and selling advertising.I also discuss how some platforms—like Riverside and Kajabi—offer podcast hosting, but I don't recommend using services that aren't specifically built for podcast hosting. If you're considering a platform, always check if they offer important tools like 301 redirects for your podcast feed.Got More Questions?In summary, if you just want to inform and connect with your audience, Substack is an easy and free option. If you want to do marketing or advanced list-building, platforms like Kit or MailerLite are better suited.If you need help with any of this, don't hesitate to reach out or join the School of Podcasting, where you'll find step-by-step courses, consulting, and a supportive community.This content may contain affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no additional cost to you.

When a bookkeeper decides to start their own bookkeeping business, their minds go to one place: getting clients. A lot of these bookkeepers naturally gravitate toward sorting out their CRM first. They want something concrete to work with so they know they're ready when a client finally signs with them… But it's putting the cart before the horse. Having your CRMs sorted out is important. But it's not the first thing you need to focus on. You need to get people warmed up to you and your offer first, and the easiest way to do that is setting up a self-sustaining marketing system. Not as easy as it sounds, right? Marketing can feel like this big, nebulous thing without a clear place to start, especially for left-brained logistical people like us. But don't fret! I'm here today to demystify marketing for you…and tell you exactly what you should be focusing on as a new bookkeeper. EPISODE RESOURCES: Season 2 of Profits & Prosecco is HERE!

SUMMARY: The episode centers on helping business owners get ahead of the holiday season instead of scrambling once it arrives. Aaron and Terryn mix humor with practical, forward-thinking guidance, covering everything from team culture to financial strategy. They discuss creative ways to celebrate with remote teams—such as virtual holiday parties where employees use DoorDash gift cards to share a meal together—and emphasize the value of simple appreciation gestures that don't require large budgets. They also highlight the importance of using Q4 intentionally from a financial standpoint. This includes making strategic business purchases before year-end, using generosity such as bonuses or charitable matching to reduce taxable income, and leveraging seasonal buying behavior through bundled offers or gifting features on platforms like Kajabi. The conversation closes with a reminder that offering time off can be one of the most meaningful gifts during the holidays, reinforcing the broader theme: be intentional, support your team, and use the season to strengthen both your culture and your bottom line.

In today's episode, I'm officially back on the mic and kicking things off with a raw, behind-the-scenes update. I'm sharing why I'm ditching polished intros, perfect editing, and long episodes in favor of a more real, voice-memo-style format that actually fits into the tiny pockets of life—for me and for you.I also give a life update after seven months away, including postpartum realities, becoming a mom of two, finally having a home office I love, being flown out by Kajabi (still surreal), and diving headfirst into Christmas mode way too early.Then I shift into a deeper conversation I've been having everywhere lately: what it truly looks like to balance motherhood, marriage, and running a thriving business—especially when you're the primary income earner. I open up about navigating flipped household roles, my journey from wanting to be a stay-at-home mom to becoming the breadwinner, and how my husband and I are figuring out this season together.Resources & Links:Kajabi 30-day free trial + 2 bonuses150 Free HooksList Building 101ManychatIG UniversitySome of the links mentioned are affiliate links, which help to support this podcast at no additional cost to you.Connect with Mya:Follow on Instagram @myanichol Join my email listCheck out my websiteNow on YouTubeMore about the Radical Disruption podcast: Are you wanting to make waves in your industry, push the envelope, and change the way things are done in a radical way?
