Podcasts about launching

Launching a business or leading life at full speed can leave you feeling out of sync—but what if the moon could help you reset? Today, I chat with Laura Kusto, astrologer and creator of Moon Chat, who helps high-achieving leaders reconnect with their divine design through lunar wisdom, astrology, and subconscious tools. Laura shares how tuning into the phases of the moon can offer clarity, balance, and a gentler way to move through business and life. If you've been craving more flow and intention, this conversation is filled with both practical tools and soulful insights.  Today you will hear:What lunar wisdom really means and how moon phases mirror your emotional and energetic rhythms. How to use the four main moon phases—new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter—to guide your goals, actions, and reflection. Practical examples of living in sync with the moon, from setting intentions to decluttering and planning your social calendar. The story behind Laura's journey from corporate life to astrology, and how “success hangovers” shaped her path. Simple tools—like Laura's Moon Phase Compass and Moon Chat membership—that make aligning with lunar cycles easy, even for busy entrepreneurs and parents. CONNECT WITH LAURA:Website: laurakusto.comInstagram: @LauraKustoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LauraKustoFREE Moon Phase Guide: https://laurakusto.com/free-moon-phase-guide/

Subscribe to The FoundHer Files: No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just what works… because we're better together.Heidi Zak took a bra that didn't fit and turned that frustration into ThirdLove, a DTC brand that challenged an industry dominated by one player and proved that listening to women could transform everything about how a product is made, marketed, and sold.For Dear FoundHer's 300th episode, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Heidi about the decisions and risks that shaped ThirdLove's growth, from introducing half-cup sizes that the industry said were impossible, to launching the “Try Before You Buy” program that asked women to truly live in the product before deciding if it was right for them. Heidi shares how customer feedback revealed insights far deeper than price or style preferences, and how those insights shaped both the brand's identity and its ability to earn trust online. She shares about the missteps, the manufacturing roadblocks, and the moments where abandoning an idea saved time and money.Lindsay and Heidi's conversation is about building in direct response to the people you serve, scaling in a competitive DTC space without losing sight of product quality, and staying committed to innovation even when the path forward is messy and uncertain.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Introducing Heidi Zak06:19 Heidi Zak's Founding Story of ThirdLove14:01 Launching the First Product Line and Market Strategy19:35 Creating Half-Cup Sizes and Disrupting the Bra Industry24:08 Building Trust and Driving Customer Acquisition32:01 How Customer Feedback Shaped ThirdLove's Growth36:17 Lessons Learned from Failed Experiments38:56 ThirdLove's Current Status and Future PlansConnect with Heidi Zak:Follow ThirdLove on InstagramFollow Heidi Zak on InstagramSubscribe to The FoundHer Files: No fluff.

How do you go from a £500 startup to a £200 million brand?On this week's Screw It Just DO It, I speak to Juliet Barratt, co-founder of Grenade. If you've ever picked up a Carb Killa bar, you've seen the impact of brand, timing, and relentlessness in action. Juliet and her husband launched Grenade during a recession, built it into a market leader, and sold it to Mondelez for a nine-figure sum.But this isn't just another glossy success story.Juliet opens up about the toll of selling your business, what she'd do differently, and why founders need to be laser-focused on product, branding, and fit. She also shares hard-earned lessons about scaling with your partner, the value of mentorship, and what the real road to a global brand looks like. Whether you're building a business, preparing for a raise, or staring down an exit, this is the unfiltered version most founders never hear.Key TakeawaysBrand is everything. Distinctive packaging and positioning were critical to Grenade standing out in a saturated market.Timing matters. Launching during a recession forced focus and discipline, but also provided unexpected opportunities.The exit isn't always a win. Juliet opens up about regretting their early sale of equity and the emotional cost of parting with the brand.Founders must protect focus. Know when to bring in professionals, and stay close to what makes the brand work.Scaling with a partner is hard. Clear boundaries and mutual respect were vital to building Grenade as a husband-and-wife team.

Send us a Positive Review!In this episode, Valerie shares an inspiring journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth with The Wholeness Network.  The theme was Brene Brown's exploration of the concept of "Braving the Wilderness" and on the heels of three years of learning to live & love one's truth at a potentially high social cost, Val felt that she had a couple of things to say about this.   This episode is a sharing of history, emotion on both ends of the spectrum and ultimately,  a tale of courage, compassion, and finding one's true place in the world.  00:00 Finding My Path: Early Struggles and Discoveries00:40 A Surprising Call to Ministry01:06 Discovering a Passion for Therapy02:38 The Journey to Graduate School03:18 Embracing Complexity in Faith and Life04:40 Launching a Podcast: Unexpected Success07:40 Understanding the Faith Journey08:11 Stages of Faith and Personal Growth10:25 Challenges and Courage in Faith Transitions15:40 The Role of Compassion and Empathy23:45 Trusting Oneself and Embracing the Divine Within27:49 The Price and Reward of Spiritual Journeys28:05 Experiences of Resonance and Support33:28 Navigating Faith and Personal Growth42:36 Understanding Patriarchy in Faith Communities50:58 The Impact of Enmeshed Family Systems58:22 Embracing Wholeness and Self-Integration Afterward:  After their forced resignation from the LDS church in March of 2025, Val & Nathan were invited to share their stories on about a dozen podcasts.  Due to Nathan's currently heavy travel schedule, most of these guest appearances are (unfortunately!) just Valerie.  Thanks for sharing this journey with the Hamakers! Support the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Subscription $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Subscription $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Donate: ⁠Venmo or Patreon⁠ Visit our Website

Blake Fitzgerald was just a regular guy from Minnesota—until a side hustle on TikTok turned into a six-figure illegal gambling operation. After dropping out of college and bouncing between jobs, Blake discovered the world of gambling livestreams. Within months, he was pulling in over $100,000 running an underground gambling ring through social media. But the fast money came with heavy consequences. What started as a business turned into an addiction, and eventually, the law caught up with him. In this interview, Blake shares how he built the operation, how it spiraled out of control, and how he managed to escape prison time through a plea deal. #IllegalGambling #TikTokScam #TrueCrime #GamblingAddiction #LockedInWithIanBick #SocialMediaCrime #NoPrisonTime #UndergroundGambling Connect with Blake Fitzgerald: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@klozer10x_2.0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/klozer10x/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & The Shocking Call 00:34 Blake's Background and Upbringing 02:56 Childhood, Parents, and Lessons Learned 05:54 Family Dynamics & Early Life Challenges 13:04 College, Early Work, and First Adult Steps 17:15 Launching a Career: Sales, Oil Fields & Construction 20:51 Discovering Gambling Streams & TikTok Live 24:55 Explosive Growth on TikTok 31:36 Gambling Becomes a Business 38:28 The Illegal Gambling Model Starts 41:08 Managing Money, Moderators, and Viewers 43:43 High Stakes, Big Nights, and Addictive Success 47:35 TikTok Fame, Haters & Legal Gray Areas 55:10 The Investigation and Downfall 01:01:38 Facing Charges & Navigating the Legal System 01:09:03 Plea Deals, Consequences, and Community Service 01:13:15 Addiction Continues: Gambling Beyond TikTok 01:17:17 Embracing Recovery: Gamblers Anonymous 01:21:14 Life After Gambling: Fast Cars and Family 01:28:25 Social Media Reflections & Giving Back 01:32:33 Media Coverage, Public Perception, and Reputation 01:35:01 Lessons Learned: The Dangers of Gambling Culture 01:41:12 Moving Forward, Staying Sober, Final Thoughts Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this heartwarming and honest episode, Dana opens up about a topic that many entrepreneurs quietly struggle with, the fear of success, and how it nearly stopped her from launching her latest creation, NurtureToConvert.ai.

A grand jury investigation could be established on the Russiagate scandal. Attorney General Pam Bondi has allegedly directed her staff to move forward with the case, which could see criminal charges against individuals who were involved in running the discredited scandal against President Donald Trump during the 2016 election.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- According to a Fox News report, Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed her staff to “act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter.” You can read the full report here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-launching-grand-jury-investigation-russiagate-conspiracy-allegations-source. 4:15pm- Declassified intelligence documents released last Thursday allege that Hillary Clinton approved of a strategy proposed by a senior campaign adviser to link then-candidate Donald Trump to false claims of Russian collusion, in an effort to deflect attention from her own escalating email controversy during the 2016 election. 4:20pm- The 24-page intelligence annex, compiled from memos and emails gathered by the Obama administration ahead of Election Day, details “confidential conversations” between top Democratic National Committee officials—including then-Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz—and executives at liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations. The plan, reportedly crafted by Clinton's then-foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith, focused on falsely linking the Trump campaign with Russian officials. 4:30pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) moments from corporate media. This week, major network anchors meltdown over redistricting in Texas, though they've historically ignored aggressive California, Illinois, and New York redistricting efforts which have favored Democrats.
