Podcasts about launching

This week felt heavy, not catastrophic, not dramatic, just layered. I'm sharing about our recent surrogate embryo transfer and finding out it didn't take. Even when you know the statistics, hope quietly builds a future in the back of your mind, and each time that future dissolves, the grief is real. I talk about what it feels like to move through disappointment when your life is objectively full and beautiful, and how gratitude and grief can sit side by side without canceling each other out. I also get into the complicated tension of ambition and motherhood. Missing a camping trip with Sonny and Timmy. Launching new projects. Turning 41. Wondering how I want to be remembered - as ambitious, present, steady, joyful? Can you be all of them at once?This episode is really about capacity and how much we can hold. Absence and abundance. Career momentum and family tenderness. Disappointment and deep gratitude. Maybe adulthood isn't about resolving the contradictions. Maybe it's about becoming spacious enough to carry them.

Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton is the Founder and CEO of Chillhouse, a cult wellness destination that evolved into a category-defining, design-led nail care brand.But the version of Cyndi you see today is not how this story begins. It begins with dropping out of college twice, working nightlife to stay financially stable, starting over in her mid-twenties with unpaid internships, and quietly questioning whether she was actually “good” at anything.When she opened Chillhouse, it wasn't instant success. It was long hours, tight margins, staffing challenges, seasonality, expansion risks, and the constant pressure of making payroll. She had to learn how to raise money, survive volatility, and pivot when the original business model was not scalable. The breakthrough came when she listened to her customers and launched salon-quality press-on nails, a move that completely transformed the trajectory of the company.In this episode, Cyndi shares what it really takes to rebuild confidence when you feel behind. We talk about the unglamorous realities of running a service-based business, why shiny opportunities can become expensive distractions, how motherhood reshaped the way she leads, and what shifted when Chillhouse entered a new chapter through its acquisition by KISS Beauty Group.If you have ever questioned your path or wondered whether you are capable of building something bigger than you imagined, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we'll talk to Cyndi about:* Why becoming obsessed is what makes you “good” at something. [01:50]* Growing up around small business hustle — but craving financial stability. [03:41]* Rejecting the traditional 9–5 and carving her own path. [08:14]* Starting over at 25 and taking an unpaid internship to rebuild. [10:57]* Blogging before influencing was mainstream and monetizing early. [15:07]* The desire to build something physical and the birth of Chillhouse. [17:43]* Why the original business model had to evolve. [22:37]* Raising money for the flagship store. [27:49]* Challenging moments Cyndi experienced in the business. [28:31]* The hard lesson of expansion and chasing shiny opportunities. [32:33]* Letting customer behavior guide the pivot to nail care. [34:45]* Testing products before discovering the breakout opportunity. [36:57]* Launching press-ons and creating instant brand recognition. [40:14]* From viral growth to legacy credibility: why today's virality starts with product performance. [44:27]* Motherhood, infrastructure, and building real support systems. [47:14]* Why exiting her business wasn't the goal, but the right partnership changed everything. [54:07]* Moving from survival mode to structured, strategic growth.

In this episode, I explain why paid launches are working so well right now — and why they might be the smartest move you make for your next launch. I break down the difference between traditional free webinars or challenges and paid launch experiences, and I share exactly how my two-week, five-session paid bootcamp model works, including standard and VIP tiers. I also talk honestly about why free launches have become harder — from audience overwhelm and low show-up rates to freebie collectors and creator burnout — and then walk you through four powerful reasons to test a paid launch instead. While you may see fewer sign-ups, the quality, engagement, and conversions can be significantly stronger. 3 Key Takeaways: Paid = Higher Commitment When someone invests money, they're far more likely to show up, engage, and implement — which leads to better results and stronger trust. Engagement and Conversions Improve Paid participants are more serious and qualified, meaning higher show-up rates, better interaction, and stronger conversion rates into your main offer. Your Launch Can Fund Your Marketing A paid launch can generate revenue upfront, giving you cash flow to fund ads and scale — rather than relying on a free event that only costs you time and money. If free launches have been feeling heavier, harder, or less effective, this episode will help you see why — and show you a practical alternative that could change the game for your next launch.

In this video, I'm gonna be sharing with you what paid launches are, why they work so well, and the four reasons that you should consider trying a paid launch for your next launch. If we haven't met, my name is Teresa Heath-Wareing and I work with course creators, membership owners and coaches to help them grow their online business. And I have recently been given the award of Business Coach of the Year from the National Coaching Conference and Awards, which I am obviously over the moon about. And every single week I put out a new video and podcast. What I share with you. Tactical and strategic things that you can actually do in your business that is going to help you grow your online business without all of the overwhelm and with what is working right now. So if you haven't [00:01:00] subscribed to the YouTube channel, I urge you to hit that subscribe button and to make sure that you get notified every time I put a new video out, and I would be so honored if you could share this video with someone who was in the online space that you think could benefit from it. Okay, let's talk about free versus paid. So what do I mean by free versus paid? Now, most launch experiences have been free, so you would do a free webinar, a free challenge, a free bootcamp. So basically for them to come into the launch experience, and I call launch experiences, just the mechanism that you're using, like I said, a webinar, a masterclass, which they tend to be the same thing, a bootcamp, a challenge, a. Open house. Those are what I call launch experiences. And when I talk about launching, I don't necessarily mean for the first time. This is just basically a focused period of marketing where you are selling your online thing, like your course, your program, your membership, whatever it might be. So [00:02:00] in most cases. Up until fairly recently, most launches were free. So you would advertise that you were doing a free webinar, a free challenge, and people would sign up and come and join that challenge or come and join that masterclass for free. And then at the end of the thing, you would then present your offer, which would be your paid program, course, membership, whatever it was. Kind of marketing activity that you were doing to get them there in the first place was free. Now, let me explain to you what I mean by a paid launch experience. So ordinarily and what I've been involved with and what I teach is more about a paid bootcamp or a paid challenge, something that is a bit longer. I would say that you can do paid workshops rather than. Masterclass or webinars, masterclass and webinars tend to be about an hour or to an hour and a half. They're very much focused on the what and [00:03:00] the why and less so on the how. And your program tends to be the how, whereas when you are doing something paid, it normally means it's going into more depth. So let me explain to you my paid launching the I am using currently. I'm doing a bootcamp where basically the bootcamp is over two weeks, but it's five actual sessions, so it's two sessions on week one and three sessions on week two, and for that bootcamp, it is a paid thing. Now the. Cost of the, the bootcamp is low, so my cost of my bootcamp at the point I'm recording this is 49 pounds. But there is also a VIP level where if you join the VIP level, you get additional things. So for instance, rather than just the five sessions, you will also get some q and As with me where. I basically get to coach you. There are also things like you might get some other bonuses and some other nice bits that you would get if you sign up for the VIP. So basically there are two levels to my paid launches, the standard level, and [00:04:00] then the VIP level. But they're both paid. The standard level is 49 pounds. The VIP level I think is 97, like I said at the point of recording this. But the point is to come into that launch experience, which is a bootcamp you have to pay now. You might think, well, this doesn't make sense because I want them to buy the bigger thing, and if they're buying the lower thing, will they buy the bigger thing? We're going to address the reasons why you might want to consider a paid launch, but let me talk about why free are getting a little bit more difficult. Well, the first thing is the overwhelm is massive. There are so many. Free things that we can now do online businesses and launching has become way more popular than it ever has done and will continue to grow. And because of that, there'll be lots of free events, lots of free challenges, lots of free boot camps, which means there is often low commitment from the person that is engaging or signing up to them and the poor sharp rates. So when I started this back in. Or when I started in the online [00:05:00] space about 10 years ago, the show up rate for a webinar would be anywhere between 40 and 50%. Then when we hit COVID, it went up. It was actually like you could get 60%, which is great, and now we are seeing some as low as 15 and 20% show up rate, which means the number of people who signed up to come to say, your webinar only. 15 to 20% of them might actually turn up. And one of the key things is you want them to turn up because if they turn up, they're way more engaged. They're more likely to consider buying your thing that you're selling. At the end, you are also potentially attracting freebie collectors. So there are people that just like to sign up to free stuff and will busy themselves with going to all the webinars in the world. Therefore, you might attract some of them when you are doing a free thing. Often when we are doing free launch experiences, we tend to give information without implementation. And if you've watched any of my other videos, if [00:06:00] you've listened to the podcast, then you will know. One of the big things for 2026 is we need that implementation. That actually what we don't need is more content or more information. At this point, we need to actually get it done and we need ways to help us get it done. And sometimes when we're doing. Three things, rightly so, we are just giving them the information because there has to be a balance of like how much we give away when we are giving it for free. And this can lead to creators, to online business owners, to you to meet, burning out basically. Launching is not a very quick and easy thing to do. It takes work and time and effort. And sometimes you might find yourself feeling very resentful when you are putting in all this time and effort. You are delivering really good stuff and people just aren't engaging and they're not taking it seriously. So there are lots of reasons why free launches are not as successful and not as good maybe as

#800 From backyard-grown herbs and screen doors used as drying racks to national retail shelves, Jodi Scott's journey with Green Goo is a masterclass in building a mission-driven CPG brand! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with the co-founder and CEO of Green Goo to unpack how they set out to “reinvent first aid” with plant-based solutions that actually work — earning passionate customer stories, scaling into major retailers (including the Army & Air Force Exchange), and adapting fast when the market wasn't ready for “plant-based” a decade ago. Jodi also shares the behind-the-scenes reality of hypergrowth, navigating financing and forecasting, surviving the retail shutdown during COVID by ramping DTC, and the hard-earned mental fitness practices that helped her buy the company back and rebuild after a failed partnership nearly wiped everything out! What we discuss with Jodi: + Reinventing first aid + Plant-based + high efficacy + Backyard-to-kitchen production + Farmer's market validation + Customer stories (eczema, wounds) + Launching a website to reorder + Retail expansion learning curve + Army & Air Force Exchange pitch + COVID pivot to DTC + Amazon + Selling, losing, buying back the brand Thank you, Jodi!

Picture this: you've got a massive March launch planned, a to-do list longer than your unicorn tail, and then — you fall UP the stairs, your back seizes, your menstrual cycle murders your ADHD meds, and Mercury decides it's doing SOMETHING (retrograding? microwaving? who knows).In this raw, funny, and deeply wise episode, Leonie Dawson shares EVERYTHING that went sideways in one wild pre-launch week — and the surprising toolkit that helped her claw her way back to clarity, momentum, and joy. From beef liver capsules to frankincense smoke bombs, from kinesiology to emergency osteopath appointments, this is what it ACTUALLY looks like behind the curtain of a successful launch.Leonie also gets beautifully honest about the inner growth that launching demands — the fear, the freeze, the false belief that everyone else has it together while you're in chaos. Spoiler: they don't. And she proves it.Topics CoveredWhat really happens behind the scenes of a launch (the chaos no one shows you)How Leonie's Backstage Pass program was born and why 111 people signed up at $111 (!!!)Supplement timing hacks for neurodivergent brains and Metamucil as a supplement hackEnergy clearing practices: altar work, smudging with frankincense, myrrh & dragon's blood resinGrounding practices before and after deep coaching callsKinesiology and energetic support during intense business seasonsTake Action Club + Grow Mastermind: what they are and how Backstage Pass works inside themEven the most polished-looking launch has chaos behind the scenes. You are not an anomaly. Life happens to everyone. Leonie reframes launching as spiritual and personal expansion — you come out the other side a bigger, wider, more capable version of yourself. Launching is a growth process, not just a sales strategy:Pre-launch energy clearing is real work: Altar reset, saining, grounding before coaching calls — these are not woo-woo bonuses, they are essential maintenance for sensitive and creative entrepreneurs. Backstage Pass shows you the REAL launch: Not the highlight reel — the broken guitar strings, the frozen moments, the daily revenue figures, and the real-time problem-solving that gets results anyway. The months Leonie does structured planning are consistently her highest revenue months.  Notable Quotes"In every single person's launch, no matter how polished they look on the outside, life happens. Nothing goes to plan. You are not an anomaly." "Launches grow you. They make you uncomfortable. They push you to your limits. You will lose your faith and your courage and your belief over and over again — and then find it again." "Your bones are literally not aligned. There is no way your energy and spirit can be aligned when your bones aren't." "I actually learned so much more about launching from Backstage Pass than any other launch program I'd ever purchased, including $2,000 masterclasses." — Backstage Pass Member"Even when things get tricky and hard and stuck, I promise this is all part of the journey. Momentum can happen anyway." — Leonie Dawson Links & Resources MentionedBackstage Pass: leoniedawson.com/backstageTake Action Club + Grow Mastermind: leoniedawson.com/academyUnicorn Biz and Life Academy (100+ programs): leoniedawson.com/academyCreative Goddess Embodied (deep creativity program): in the AcademyMidas Touch (11-day meditation): in the AcademyGet Dopa Supplements (ADHD-specific supplement blend): mentioned as a personal product Leonie uses#WomenInBusiness #NeurodivergentEntrepreneur #LaunchStrategy #ADHDandBusiness #CreativeEntrepreneur #WomensWellness #BusinessMindset #BackstagePass #LeonieDawson #SpiritualBusiness

We get into the real workplace dynamics so many people quietly deal with: chaos, burnout, and “lethal loyalty”, and what it actually looks like to set boundaries without blowing up your career. Mita shares how her upbringing as the daughter of Indian immigrant parents shaped the way she approached work, why “keep your head down and work hard” can backfire in modern corporate culture, and how bad bosses don't just create stress, they create ripple effects that drain entire teams. We also unpack one of the book's most memorable archetypes, “The White Rabbit” manager, and walk through practical ways to manage up, prioritize what's urgent vs. important, and build a communication framework that protects your time and sanity. If you've ever felt pressured to be available 24/7, struggled to advocate for yourself, or wondered how to lead well in a broken culture, this conversation is for you.   Episode Highlights: 0:00 - Introduction 0:53 - Meet Mita! 2:25 - Favorite genre of music 3:07 - Management, flexibility and being a role model 5:30 - The start of Mita's career and how her parent's culture informed it 12:06 - The ‘F' word (family) 17:09 - The “white rabbit” 21:16 - “Managing up” with a ‘white rabbit' 27:07 - Getting over the fear of ‘managing up' 30:13 - Urgency exhaustion and guarding your true priorities 33:59 - Advice to service-based, or faith-based professionals 38:12 - Where you can get Mita's book   CONNECT WITH JAHMAAL   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jahmaalmarshall/ Website: https://listenthenspeak.com/ If you're ready to get measured results for both personally and professionally, schedule an appointment with Jahmaal BUY ME A Coffee - with this link: https://buymeacoffee.com/listenthenspeak?new=1   Interested in learning more about Mita Mallick?

We dive into the why behind Ursa Major, what it means to keep it real and relatable in the beauty business, and Emily shares some beautiful, grounded words for our Dazeys about taking the leap and launching something of your own. We also discuss what it actually looks like to find aligned business partners, and the deeper commitment required to stay authentic as you grow. And then… one of our favourite le poddy topics. Aging! We mount our soapbox to unpack our feelings around the whole “anti-aging” narrative. We're not anti anything… in fact, it's a damn privilege to grow older. We talk about the quiet pressure to tinker with your face. The subtle feeling of being left behind if you're not doing Botox, fillers, all the things. We unpack our personal definitions of beauty and why confidence, magnetism and that undeniable twinkle in your eyes will always win. This is an ep about radiating energy, choosing joy and feeling glowy in your own skin. Resource Links: ursamajorvt.com lovewell.earth lovewell.

In this episode of So Worth It, Jackie Ellis sits down with pre-launch strategist and copywriter Brenna McGowan to talk about the part of marketing most people skip… and then wonder why their launch flopped.Brenna breaks down what a “launch” really is (hint: it's just a timed promotion), why pre-launch is the real make-or-break phase, and how to warm up your audience for 4–8 weeks so selling feels easier (and way less gross). They dig into buyer readiness, the beliefs your audience needs before they buy, how to do research that actually works (yes—talking to real humans), and why “launches are dead” is usually just code for “we didn't adapt.”If you want launches that convert without burning you out, this conversation is your new pre-launch playbook.Grab Brenna's Free 2026 Launch Report.

Jack Myers has been sharing observations and insights about media longer than some platforms have even existed. I used to study his “Jack Myers Report,” when I started in cable and it was actually the first faxed newsletter. Then fast forward a decade or two and I became the first Managing Editor of Jack’s next successful communications platform: Media Village! Its thousands of articles, interviews, and executive insights now serve as a living history of the business. That was where I created my first podcast…and fast forward another decade and Jack has his own podcast now, too… and has authored some seven books! But DON’T fast forward through this half hour of gems from Jack that will inform and inspire you about how we may not really BE in a “technology-first era.” Jack acknowledges he can relate to Don Quixote as some might think he’s “tilting at windmills” in fighting the perception that humanity will prevail in our tech-focused world. Why? Because Jack has seen and understands the through line of it across generational changes…and as a strategy. In this episode — and in fact in his own show with Tim Spengler, called Lead Human — we talk about what it means to be “human first” in a technology-accelerated era. We topline what empathetic leadership, performance culture, and how organizations are recalibrating as they navigate AI. He and Tim go deep on those topics, so check it out. In what Jack calls a human-recalibrated era, he's seeing a shift from “people first” as a cultural slogan to “people first” as a performance strategy — embedded into compensation, collaboration models, and operating systems. “It's not about how much content we produce, but how thoughtfully we decide what deserves to exist and be amplified.” But now that we’re both in podcasting how does this Media Ecologist see it as a business model? He explains the tension between programmatic advertising and authenticity, and why speed — in content, in media, in AI — may be the most overrated metric in the room.   Early podcasting days at MediaVillage And yes, we cover his latest reinvention: a historical fiction novel, a forthcoming science fiction trilogy, and what writing fiction reveals about understanding the human condition. At the end, I ask Jack what he hopes the media industry embraces more of — and less of — in the years ahead. His answer is less sentimental than you might expect, and more structural than most pundits are willing to articulate. This conversation spans decades of media evolution — from fax machines to AI voice replication — but it ultimately comes down to one idea: Speed without judgment is just noise. Key Highlights: 01:34 – What “human first” really means in media. 02:17 – Just the fax… the start of tracking generational shifts. 05:18 – Media Village: The house that Jack built  – on relationships and thought leadership 09:44 – How good listening led to a podcast — first for E.B., now for Jack 12:02 – Launching a leadership podcast in the AI era and how empathy is a performance strategy  19:32 – Technology-first or a time for human recalibration. 23:50 – The future of podcast monetization 28:32 – His pivot to fiction (or is it?!) in The Kissinger Conspiracy 32:17 – Media's inflection point. More responsibility. Less addiction to speed. Think ecosystem — not silos. Connect with Jack Myers: Jack Myers The Jack Myers Report  Connect with E.B.

What really goes through a referee's mind on game day?In this episode, we hit a lift while diving deep into the world of officiating — from getting screamed at by parents in the stands to making split-second calls under pressure. Our guest breaks down how he went from random viral content to building a platform that shows what refs actually experience on the field.We talk about the referee shortage, the mental side of making calls in real time, why everyone thinks they're an expert from the bleachers, and how stepping into uncomfortable situations builds confidence far beyond sports.It's part gym session, part life philosophy, and part behind-the-scenes look at a role nobody understands… but everyone has an opinion on.If you've ever yelled at a ref — this one's for you.-----00:00 - First Gym Experience and Dancing Concerns00:59 - Using the Ladder App for Workout Planning01:40 - Hyrox Competition Formats02:31 - Emerging Fitness Trend Compared to CrossFit03:19 - Challenges of CrossFit Variability03:52 - Workout App Features and Group Motivation04:35 - Founding Gyms and Personal Training History05:55 - Gym Locations and Facility Changes06:44 - Gym Membership Transitions07:05 - Personal Background and Workout Focus07:48 - Arm and Leg Focused Workouts09:14 - Goals, Diet, and 75 Hard Challenge10:07 - 75 Hard Modifications: Workout Planning & Equipment Safety15:02 - Personal Fitness Journey and Social Stories20:24 - Basketball and Dunking Attempts22:18 - Home Gym Setup: Warm-up, Design, and Renovation Plans25:33 - Workout Routine and Strength Challenges27:28 - Starting Content Creation Journey29:11 - Refereeing Basics and Rules32:38 - Advanced Referee Insights: Embracing Uncertainty and Fulfillment36:28 - Referee Compensation and Counting Sets37:31 - Challenges at the Youth Level: Parents and Coaches38:42 - Decision-Making, Judgment Calls, and Business Parallels40:44 - Opinions, Pleasing Everyone, and Public Arguments41:53 - Theory vs Practice: Limits of Reading Alone43:57 - Workout Routines and Set Counting45:30 - Launching a Podcast: Content Creation, Talent Recognition, and Social Media Insights48:44 - Personal Finances, Relationships, and Identity50:31 - Overcoming Fear and Building a Vision53:32 - Faith, Family, Purpose & Emotional Intelligence: A Life Philosophy58:35 - Life Perspective, Age, and Gratitude60:25 - Defining Happiness and Embracing Challenges62:39 - Ambitions, Private Jet Dream, and Meaningful Friendships64:22 - Authenticity, Social Media, and Helping Others65:46 - Personal Relationships and Life Journey67:03 - Creating Viral Content: My First Viral Moment and Refereeing Challenges69:44 - Wife's Filming Role and Managing Angles72:47 - Editing Challenges and Learning the Craft75:30 - Exploring Side Gigs and Business Opportunities78:06 - My Editing Journey: From Early Experiences to iPad Marketing79:51 - Career Background and Early Metrics80:38 - Gym Talk: Steroids and Reverse Curls83:40 - Push‑up Workout Session84:53 - Podcast Growth and Audience Impact87:08 - Taco Review Podcast – Part 189:03 - Taco Review Podcast – Part 290:41 - Podcast Overview: Concept, Creation Challenges, and Nutrition Advice93:10 - Hiring Editors and Client Expectations95:23 - Audience Targeting and Business Improvement97:37 - Growth Mindset and Right vs Wrong99:58 - Decision Making and Trust Building101:25 - Embracing Failure and Building Resilience in Business104:39 - Vision, Scaling, and Purpose Beyond Self106:13 - Values, Team Dynamics, and Performance Culture109:30 - Personal Motivation: Finding Your Why Through Family and Legacy115:00 - Relationship with Madison and College Hustle116:56 - Be the Differenc

Over and over again my clients have been telling me: I want launching to feel simpler, more easeful, more low-lift.Either big, intense launch plans have exhausted their body and nervous system in the past or they've avoided selling altogether because what they think they have to do feels super out of alignment for them. And I get it, because I'm right there with them too.As I shared in my last episode I'm leaning into much softer sales cycles this year and so far it's feeling really good. If old school launching advice and being told that you have to go big, build hype, and create more, more, more sales content and take up more space than feels sustainable for you is holding you back from creating sales cycles that support you to reach your financial goals, I recorded this week's podcast episode for you.In it I share six gentle alternatives to go-big-or-go-home launch strategy that I hope can crack open some fresh ideas for how you can sell this year in a way that resonates and connects with your hell yes people and actually feels fun and sustainable for you to bring to life too.

This week on Hungry, the founders behind SULT — the electrolyte brand turning “unhinged luxury” into a cultural movement.From building a status-driven brand that people actually want to post on Instagram, to rewriting the rules of marketing in the age of TikTok and YouTube, this is a masterclass in modern brand-building.We get into why unpredictability creates obsession, why most brands overcomplicate business, and how SULT uses storytelling, sex appeal, humor, and world-building to stand out in a saturated wellness market.We talk Better & Wetter campaigns, Margot Robbie-style bath content, Hailey Bieber's Rhode, Vivienne Westwood fashion shows, F1 boxes, Michelin-star storytelling hooks — and why the first three seconds of your content might be everything.If you're building a brand, running a food or drink business, or trying to crack YouTube, this episode is packed with practical insight and uncomfortable truths.This isn't just about electrolytes.It's about status, culture, identity — and making something people feel part of.===========ON THE MENU===========The Wellness Culture BacklashMaking Electrolytes SexyConsistency vs Quality on SocialSocial Media Is Your CVWhat Is “Unhinged Luxury”?Unpredictability Creates ObsessionThe £15K Acoustics LessonThe Iceberg of Content CreationWhy We Can't Crack YouTubeFrom Empty Restaurant to Michelin HookThe Hardest Thing: Having a Point of ViewWhy Status Beats Shelf SpaceDo You Fit at Vivienne Westwood or F1?Why Rhode (Hailey Bieber) WinsBusiness Is Just X to YMake Brands Simple AgainThe 3-Second Attention EconomyIgnore Traditional Marketing Rules00:00 Intro00:01 Milly's Eating Disorder & Recovery00:05 Toxic Wellness & Running Culture00:09 SULT's "Not That Deep" Philosophy00:14 Netflix-ification of Brand Building00:19 Ignoring Experts & Taking Risks00:24 "Unhinged Luxury" & Storytelling00:30 Scaling in Public vs Building in Public00:34 The Whiteboard Content Strategy00:42 How to Write Viral Hooks00:46 Organic Growth vs Paid Ads00:56 The Brooklyn Beckham Story01:00 Choosing Brand Colors & Standing Out01:06 Why They Ignore Business Advice01:08 The Power of Anti-Selling01:13 Building a Tribe & Status01:15 Learning from Rhode & Anti-Trends01:17 Dealing with Copycats01:20 Embracing Chaos in Business01:22 Co-Founder Dynamics & Conflict01:28 The Simon Squibb Story01:33 Simplifying Business & Branding01:37 How the Co-Founders Met01:39 Why Launch an Electrolyte Brand?01:45 The 4 Pillars of Marketing01:53 Launching in Boots & Retail Strategy01:58 Financial Transparency & Investors  

Launching a company from stealth sounds exciting. In reality, it's usually messy, rushed, and full of competing voices.In this episode, Richard Midson is joined by Andrew Healey from Water & Wall (New York) to unpack a real fintech launch that had everything happening at once:a new company reveal, a multi-million dollar seed round, strategic partners, and multiple stakeholders who all needed sign-off.This isn't theory or “best practice”. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how an agency actually pulled off a high-stakes launch in a tight window, over Christmas, with limited margin for error.They also get into how AI and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) are quietly changing media strategy, why some “low-status” sites now matter more than CMOs expect, and why embargo pitching is becoming less optional and more essential.If you work in an SME PR agency or in-house comms role and you've ever had to launch something fast, complex, and political, this episode is for you.Practical takeawaysHow to structure a launch when you have multiple announcements and can't afford for one to bury the othersWhy longer embargo lead times are now helping reporters, not hurting coverageHow to think about stakeholders when there are investors, partners, and comms teams all in the mixWhat GEO actually changes about media targeting, and why some overlooked sites now influence AI search resultsGUESTAndrew Healy - Water and WallLOCATION: New York, USAWEB: waterandwall.comNEW TO PR?- Check out the new podcast 'Getting A Job In PR' - https://gettingajobinpr.comSUBSCRIBE- Video and Audio links here - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/listen/Or search for "The Public Relations Podcast" on all good podcast appsCONNECT WITH ME- LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-midson/- Website - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/- 'Getting A Job In PR' - https://gettingajobinpr.comFUTURE GUESTS- Check out: https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/be-a-guest/

Send a textLeadership in high-stakes environments doesn't have to mean ego, burnout, or losing yourself.In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with global executive leader and author Patrick Kamba for a grounded conversation about quiet ambition, leadership under pressure, and redefining success beyond titles and validation.With more than 20 years of experience leading complex programs across pharmaceuticals, biotech, transportation, and global project management — including vaccine initiatives for major organizations — Patrick shares what real leadership looks like when responsibility is real and decisions must be made without perfect information.From starting his own business in just 17 days after losing his job during COVID to mentoring women leaders without forcing them to be loud or aggressive, Patrick offers a refreshing perspective on influence, humility, and self-worth.This episode isn't about becoming louder.It's about becoming grounded — and building leadership that others genuinely want to follow.⭐ What You'll Hear in This Episode✅ What “quiet ambition” really means in today's leadership landscape✅ Leading global teams in high-pressure, high-stakes environments✅ Why great leaders don't have all the answers — and shouldn't✅ Making confident decisions with incomplete data✅ The difference between self-confidence and self-worth✅ Mentoring women leaders without forcing them to change who they are✅ Why listening is the most underrated leadership skill✅ How success evolves from titles and ego to fulfillment and alignment✅ Launching a business in 17 days during lockdown✅ Creating safe spaces people actually want to follow

Positron AI is a 2+ year old silicon company targeting decode-heavy AI inference workloads where memory bandwidth, not compute, is the bottleneck. Launching end of 2025/early 2026, their architecture delivers 2TB of on-chip memory capacity versus Nvidia Rubin's 0.4TB—enabling 3-5x better performance per dollar and per watt for reasoning models, code generation, and video generation. In this episode, Mitesh Agrawal shares how Positron identified the memory bandwidth gap in a market where Nvidia controls 90%+ share, why they're prioritizing anchor customer commitments over product completion, and the hard lessons from Lambda Labs about rapid iteration and customer-driven optionality. Topics Discussed: Positron's technical approach: focusing on memory bandwidth and capacity over compute for inference workloads Why decode-heavy applications (reasoning models, video generation, code generation) are becoming memory-bound The challenge of selling silicon to hyperscalers when Nvidia controls 90%+ of the market Building optionality into product strategy: air cooling vs. liquid cooling as unexpected GTM advantage Learning to sell hardware before the product ships and why anchor customers matter Lambda Labs experience: lessons on rapid iteration and thoughtful hiring during hypergrowth Maintaining engineering-centricity: 47 of 50 employees focused on product development GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Find technical bottlenecks in high-growth markets: Positron identified that memory bandwidth wasn't scaling as fast as compute, creating a bottleneck for inference workloads. While Nvidia dominates with 90%+ market share, they optimize for training revenue. B2B founders should analyze where dominant players are constrained by their own economics or existing roadmaps, then build specifically for those underserved segments. Markets default to oligopoly, not monopoly: Mitesh observed that customers actively seek alternatives even when one vendor is superior. "Markets want oligopoly structure to exist," he explained. B2B founders shouldn't be discouraged by dominant incumbents—customers want optionality for leverage, supply chain resilience, and risk management. Position yourself as the credible alternative in specific use cases. Discover optionality through customer conversations: Positron initially pitched performance per watt without realizing air cooling capability was a major advantage. Only after selling their first product did they learn customers valued deploying in existing data centers without infrastructure overhauls. B2B founders should systematically debrief early customers to uncover which features solve problems you didn't anticipate. Sell before shipping in hardware: The biggest priority between now and product launch is securing anchor customers willing to commit purchase orders. "If you have someone to build for, the fillip it gives the engineering team, the confidence it gives operations and supply chain vendors—we underwrite that," Mitesh emphasized. Pre-sales derisk production, prove demand, and create momentum. B2B hardware founders should treat early customer commitments as product validation, not just revenue. Build storytelling into technical sales: Convincing customers to buy unshipped hardware requires months of narrative work. "It becomes like, if I sell it to you, why will it be useful to you? Is it going to save cost? Attract new customers? Drive growth?" Success means co-creating the internal business case your champion will present. B2B founders should invest heavily in helping customers articulate ROI and strategic value before asking for commitments. Maintain rapid iteration cadence: Nvidia ships every 12-15 months versus the industry standard of 3-4 years. "If you tell me that in 10 years you've launched 10-12 products in silicon, I will give much more probability we will be successful," Mitesh stated. B2B founders should structure operations and product development for continuous iteration rather than big-bang releases, even in traditionally slow-moving industries. Delay non-engineering hires until product proves itself: With 47 of 50 people in engineering, Positron has consciously prioritized product over go-to-market. "It was a very conscious decision," Mitesh emphasized. For deep-tech companies, this focus ensures you can actually deliver before scaling sales. B2B founders should resist pressure to build balanced teams early—let roles emerge from real needs rather than theoretical org charts.     Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes Rebecca Hessel Cohen, the founder and CEO of LoveShackFancy, a fashion and lifestyle brand know for its unique floral prints and bohemian dresses.LoveShackFancy was born out of necessity when Rebecca was in search of the perfect bridesmaid dresses and was out of luck. After creating her own designs, she garnered lots of support from family and friends and began selling dresses from the trunk of her car and the rest was history. Born and raised in New York, Rebecca was surrounded by fashion starting at the age of 4 and her story is nothing short of spectacular. Today, LoveShackFancy has gained mass appeal from her vintage-inspired details, flattering silhouettes and playful dresses and ultimately catering to all age groups. The ultra feminine super-maximalist clothing and lifestyle business now has 17 retail locations in the U.S. and is continuing to expand.

In this week's episode we chat about her upbringing surrounded by fashion, her early career as a fashion editor and why she felt like it was time to do something different in her life despite her incredible career. We talk about how her interest making a few pieces of clothing turned into a successful side hustle and eventually years later, her full time gig. Rebecca opens up about how many people told her that the feminine prints and vibe would never sell, and that her brand's name was horrible - and why she didn't let that stop her. We also chat about the unglamorous days of building the brand, overcoming fears in business, and using social media for success. She stresses setting boundaries, LoveShackFancy's mission, and shares dos and don'ts for running a business for over a decade.In this episode, we'll talk to Rebecca about:* Rebecca's upbringing influenced her early fashion and confidence.

Starting a business, is how you create your own economy in 2026. This is really critical, and I'm not here to scare anyone. I don't want to talk about politics, none of that. I'm just saying like the reality is, there is this financial gap. 55% of women over 50 say they don't have enough saved for retirement. Women live longer, they earn less over a lifetime, and they take more career breaks. The average Social Security check is not going to cover basic expenses for most people. I'll just tell you if you've got this inkling like I need to be doing something else, waiting is going to be the most expensive decision you can make.But here's what I discovered. Most of the women who are thriving, they're looking to create additional income streams. They're not dependent on one paycheck or what they have in retirement accounts or even on Social Security. I have women who are in their seventies and beyond coming to start coaching businesses. Seriously, 73, 75, 76, 77. Launching coaching businesses. I can tell you for sure it's not too late.If I haven't yet introduced myself to you, hello, I am Debbie Shadid, business coach and founder of the Business Building Boutique.
