In today's episode, I'm getting a little unhinged (in the best way) and sharing the tough truth about why you might not be where you want to be yet. I'm breaking down the hidden ways we slip into victim mode, the excuses that keep us stuck, and the truth about what it actually takes to create the results you say you want. Tune in if you're ready for a wake-up call that'll reignite your drive and get you moving toward your goals.

In today's episode, I'm sharing how a few small but intentional shifts completely changed the way I move through my day. It's not about doing more or going to another retreat, it's about creating presence in real life. I talk about what it means to make your day-to-day life the practice, how I've redefined stillness and focus, and the simple changes that have helped me feel more productive, clear, and grounded than ever before. I can't wait for you to hear this one. It's been a total game-changer for me, and I know it'll spark something for you too.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my most recent launch and revealing something that might shock you: 80% of my buyers had been on my list for over 6 months. I'm breaking down what this means for your marketing strategy, why you need to stop calling your leads poor quality, and how to play the long game in a trust recession. If you've ever wondered why people aren't converting immediately or felt discouraged by your launch results, this episode will shift your entire perspective.

In today's episode, I'm sharing something truly powerful that's been unfolding for me lately: how much of our lives are run by fear, even when we think we've outgrown it. After attending another Joe Dispenza event and spending a few solo days in reflection, I had some profound realizations about control, surrender, and what it really means to operate from abundance instead of protection. I'm sharing the exercises, breakthroughs, and uncomfortable truths that surfaced, and inviting you to look at where fear might still be quietly running the show in your own life and business.

It's been a busy few weeks for the agency, that included client visits in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. This week, the gang is back together and recording for the first time in nearly a month! The topic? Why working with an independent marketing agency can be a smart move for brands. Bigger isn't always better, and the group discusses what that means for your business.For one, direct access to senior talent means there's no “B team.” Clients work directly with the experts, the people making the big decisions and doing the creative work. That kind of partnership leads to better communication, more consistent results, and faster problem-solving. Instead of being passed off to junior staff, clients know they're working with people who truly understand their goals and can make things happen.With more than 40 years in business, Littlefield Agency has proven it can adapt to change and stay reliable through shifting markets. Clients aren't just getting a campaign, they're getting a long-term partner who values honesty, accountability, and results. As Sam points out, smaller agencies can deliver the same strategic power as big ones, but with a more personal, collaborative touch that can have a big impact without the ego.—Sam, Roop, Claudia and ChelseaTell us what you think!

If you've been craving a marketing rhythm that feels calm, consistent, and actually sustainable — this episode is for you. We're talking about slow marketing: the art of building long-term visibility through strategies that don't rely on daily posting or constant hustle. Think blogs, Pinterest, newsletters, and content that keeps working long after you hit publish. I'm sharing how I've built a business that runs on the long game, what slow growth has taught me, and practical ways you can start applying the same mindset to your own marketing.

In today's episode, I'm getting real about my biggest fear as a mom and how I'm constantly working to expand my capacity to hold it all. I share the honest thoughts that come up for me, the daily tug-of-war between ambition and presence, and what it actually looks like to thrive in the chaos without losing myself in it. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at how I navigate the messy, beautiful balance of motherhood and entrepreneurship, and what it really means to build the capacity to hold it all.

As the weather cools and the days get shorter, our energy naturally shifts but most of us try to keep operating like it's still summer. In this episode, we're talking about matching your mindset, routines, and creative output to the season you're actually in.

When you sign on with a digital agency, they put handcuffs on you. So when you leave, you lose access to all the landing pages they built for you. Guess what… not anymore!

Watch as I build a high-converting landing page using the new ChatGPT 5 that will probably outperform the landing pages that most agencies will build for you. P.S.

Entrepreneurship isn't always about grinding 24/7—and Alex Schlinsky is here to prove it. In this episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with Alex, the founder of Prospecting on Demand, a sales coach, author, and proud heart surgery survivor. Alex shares how his childhood in an entrepreneurial family shaped his belief in hard work, resilience, and creating a life outside of the traditional “employee box.”From his early days hustling as a social media marketer before Facebook ads even existed, to cold-calling his way into becoming a certified Miami Dolphins media member, Alex reveals how persistence and boldness defined his start. But he also opens up about the wake-up call that changed everything: open-heart surgery at just 29, when his wife was five months pregnant. That health crisis inspired his book, The Anti-Hustler's Handbook, and a mission to help agency owners build businesses without sacrificing their lives.You'll hear Alex drop powerful mindset gems—including why most entrepreneurs chase “more” without ever defining success, the mantras he uses to beat negative self-talk, and his legendary “Secret Weapon Question” for closing sales. Whether you're stuck in hustle culture, struggling to scale, or just need a reminder to give yourself grace, this episode is packed with real talk, laughs, and game-changing takeaways.TakeawaysDefine Success on Your Terms: Don't let society or influencers dictate what “winning” looks like.
