Podcasts about never ask

In this episode of The REAL Personal Branding Podcast, Lauren welcomes Sue Heilbronner. She reveals why one of the most powerful moves an entrepreneur can make is getting deeply aligned with their core values while remaining unattached to whether a specific piece of business closes. Sue explains that selling is not an aggressive action, but rather a process of alignment and communication. In her conversation with Lauren, Sue discusses: Lead with alignment, not pressure. Sue explains that the foundation of effective selling is getting deeply aligned with your core values, strengths, and what the market actually needs—then communicating that clearly and confidently. Practice "passionate ambivalence." Be fully invested in your work while staying unattached to whether any specific opportunity closes. This mindset reduces fear, improves relationships, and leads to stronger long-term business outcomes. Build magnetism through clarity and positioning. A concise 15–30 second bio and a clear articulation of your value help expand your "top of funnel," making sales feel more natural and less dependent on chasing individual prospects. Sue shares her fascinating journey from the Justice Department to the early internet era, illustrating how a mindset oriented toward change and curiosity can create massive opportunities in any economy. She also breaks down the core concepts from her book, Never Ask for the Sale, explaining why traditional "outcome chasing" can compromise the quality of business relationships and how building a personal brand with purpose creates natural magnetism. More about our guest today: Sue is a sought-after speaker, startup CEO, mentor, adjunct professor of entrepreneurship, facilitator, strategic advisor, Conscious Leadership coach, co-founder of the MergeLane investment fund, creator of the Leadership Camp training program for high-potential leaders, former federal prosecutor, and a direct and fearless catalyst for change.  Lauren and Sue also explore how entrepreneurs can shift away from traditional aggressive selling toward the practice of passionate ambivalence - the art of being deeply invested in your work while remaining unattached to specific outcomes.

Learn how her approach increases premium pricing, drives mutual relationships, and enhances your business's success by focusing on authentic, value-driven sales methods and letting your expertise attract ideal clients.

In this episode of the Home School Dads series, David Nunnery is joined by Davis Carman, president of Apologia Educational Ministries, to tackle the essential role of a dad in the homeschool journey: encouraging and supporting his wife. Davis shares profound insights and actionable advice for husbands who want to move past feeling "lost" and become proactive leaders. This conversation is key for every dad committed to discipling his kids, strengthening his marriage, and fostering a confident, peaceful homeschool environment. Men's Challenge: Pay close attention to your wife's day without jumping in to solve problems. Observe her routines, listen to her tone of voice, and notice the moments she seems weary or overwhelmed. Based on your observations, choose one tangible, non-academic task to take off her plate for the entire week. This could be anything from handling all the evening clean-up to packing co-op lunches or managing the kids' bedtime routine. Make it your responsibility, and do it with a cheerful attitude. Key Takeaways: Own the Responsibility, Not Just the Workload: The wife carries the bulk of the day-to-day workload, but the husband must carry 100% of the responsibility for the family's mission and direction to prevent burnout. Create a Family Mission Statement: Dads should sit down with their wives and proactively develop a clear mission statement or "Elevator Speech" for why they homeschool. This acts as a compass when the school year gets difficult. The Three R's of Homeschooling: Prioritize Relationships (God, spouse, siblings), Reasoning (critical thinking), and Resolve (discovering God's calling) over mere academics. Be the Defender and File Keeper: The husband should be the one to defend the homeschooling decision to critics (friends, family, in-laws) and handle the administrative duties (knowing state laws, keeping records, standardized testing sign-ups). Provide a Weekly Planning Retreat: A practical way to support Mom is to take the kids for a consistent 2-4 hour block (like a Sunday evening) so she can leave the house, decompress, and plan the week. This boosts her confidence significantly. Never Ask "What Did You Do All Day?": When re-engaging with the family after work, do not question her productivity. Instead, immediately engage by asking the kids what they learned and taking the leadership role (the "captain is home"). Lead Family Worship/Discipleship: Use the dinner table or bedtime as a "Deuteronomy 6 moment" for asking spiritual questions, having conversations, and leading family worship.

Sue Heilbronner, serial entrepreneur and conscious leadership executive coach, believes the strongest businesses are built when sales feel less like chasing and more like alignment. Joining Sarah Lockwood in this episode, she introduces the idea of “passionate ambivalence,” a values-based sales mindset that pairs genuine enthusiasm for your work with the ability to detach from any single outcome.   How do you recognize when a client is the right fit? Sue points to conscious client qualification as the key. By asking clear, sometimes disqualifying questions, you invite the kind of honesty that builds trust from the very start. She also shares her perspective on pricing strategy, reminding entrepreneurs that protecting your time and holding your value are essential parts of sustainable growth.   This episode invites you to reflect on your own sales mindset. Are you creating relationships rooted in clarity and confidence, or relying on pressure and persuasion? What would shift if you treated sales as a mutual process instead of a one-sided pitch?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Radical Mindset Shift in Sales 02:07 Passionate Ambivalence Explained 04:15 Contrarian Sales Mindset vs. Traditional Selling 06:04 Never Ask for the Sale: Practical Examples 10:12 Startup Fundraising and Playing Small 15:08 Pricing Strategy and Early Sales Lessons 19:22 Fit Calls and Client Qualification 27:08 Overcoming Limiting Beliefs in Sales   Connect with Sue Heilbronner: Hey Sue Connect with Sue on LinkedIn    Connect with Sarah Lockwood: HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Most women say they want a “good man” — but the truth is, many don't end up with one. Not because good men don't exist, but because women are taught to shrink, settle, and silence their standards just to be chosen. In this raw and unapologetic video, Gina Zapanta calls out the lies women have been told about being “too much” and exposes the real reason so many women tolerate inconsistency, immaturity, and crumbs in relationships.Gina breaks down what women actually want in a man — discipline, groundedness, accountability, and the ability to make her feel safe without controlling or dimming her light. This isn't about alpha bravado or empty promises. It's about consistency, direction, emotional maturity, and the kind of energy that builds trust and attraction.For women, this is your permission slip to stop lowering your standards. For men, this is your challenge to step up in your full masculine energy — not performative, but intentional. If you want to know what women are truly craving in a partner, watch this.#empowered #empower #relationships #relationshipadvice #selflove #personalgrowth

Click here to learn more about The Inspired Love Program   It's one of the deepest cries of the human heart: “How could you leave me?” We've all felt it—the shock, the grief, the ache of not being chosen.   But here's the truth most people never consider: real love would never ask that question.   In this episode, I'm pulling apart the difference between the ego's demand to hold on and love's willingness to set free. We'll look at why clinging to someone who doesn't want to stay drains your energy, and how releasing them might be the doorway to the love that does want you.   This isn't about denying the pain. It's about discovering the freedom on the other side of it.

If you're an e-commerce founder stuck in the “messy middle”, that space where you've moved beyond the start-up hustle, are making sales, but still not seeing the consistency or growth you want, this episode is for you. I'm sharing five things I would NEVER ask you to do to grow your online store. These are the well-intended moves that often sound like the next logical step but can actually hold you back, drain your cash flow or put unnecessary pressure on your business. They're the kinds of decisions I've seen trip up so many founders over the years. Some of them even cost me time, money and freedom in my own journey building, scaling and eventually selling a seven-figure fashion brand. Inside this episode, I walk you through: • Why taking out loans or spending big on things like PR, rebrands or websites before you're ready can create more stress than momentum • The mistake of throwing more money into ads when your website isn't converting • Why constantly discounting or pricing too low from the start eats into your margins and positions your brand poorly • The risk of investing heavily in a custom website before you've got the data and clarity to guide it • The real cost of leasing a warehouse or office before your business actually needs it, and smarter alternatives that offer more freedom This episode is a must-listen if you're starting to feel stuck or scattered. It's about simplifying your next move, protecting your profit, and building a business that works for your life, not the other way around.

Welcome to the first episode of a special new focus for the HeySue Podcast: the Never Ask for the Sale Series. These new episodes are inspired by the September 2025 launch of Sue Heilbronner's newest book, Never Ask for the Sale: Supercharge Your Business with the Power of Passionate Ambivalence. Never Ask is based on the philosophy or sales technique Sue calls “passionate ambivalence,” the freedom to be as passionate as you are about a possible sale and equally unattached to whether you close any specific business. Sue argues in Never Ask that executing on this mindset will propel the success of solopreneurs, startup founders, service providers, company account executives, and anyone who is selling or influencing in a context that depends primarily on themself. The Never Ask series will focus on sellers, founders and CEOs Sue believes exhibit features of passionate ambivalence in their approach to selling and growing their companies. Kevin Brown left corporate America and cofounded (with Keah Kalantari) a sports chalk company called Friction Labs a decade ago. There is a lot of talk these days about category creation. Friction Labs didn't create the category of chalk for, say, rock climbing, but it did create the notion that professional and amateur climbers alike could have better climbing chalk. Friction Labs took a generic category and made it differentiated through pure innovation in both the product, branding, and positioning. In the pod, Kevin talks about how he started this journey, by offering a risk-free way for influential climbers to literally get their hands on Friction Labs chalk. It worked. Climbers loved the product, and sponsored athletes quickly led to a major full-chain rollout of the product line at REI followed by a number of global retailers. A key to the company's growth is Kevin's full alignment between this product category and his love of climbing (Kevin is a serious climber and bouldering club owner). He is as passionate an entrepreneur as I've ever met. His ambivalence shows up in the money-back guarantee he has used since Day 1. He has told climbers, gymnasts, golfers, tennis players, and major retailers that if they don't like the product, or if the product doesn't sell, he will offer a full no-questions-asked refund. He's had to do this almost not at all. If you love sports. If you love sweating outside. If you love from-the-heart selling, you'll love this episode, here and on YouTube.

Jesus' message from Luke 14 is simple, but start: "Violence will only lead to more violence. Compromise will only lead to more compromise. It's death and destruction down both of those roads, as it has been for all of history. If you want a different outcome, you're going to have to try something different!” Jesus could be accused of channeling Abraham Lincoln when he said, "My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side For only God is right.” God isn't a mascot; God isn't a badge you wear or a slogan you recite; God isn't the big man on the playground that you get to pick to be on your team. God isn't on anybody's team, because God doesn't play our games. God doesn't take sides. God calls us to that "something different." What is it? Nothing new. It's as old as the core tenet of the Jewish Prophets; for if one could distill the moral and spiritual demands of the entire Judeo-Christian ethic into a single practical phrase, it would be this: “O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: To do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Justice. Mercy. Humility. These three together appear as love being practiced in the world. Such love is the only chance any group of people will ever have at experiencing anything that resembles a future.

Chad sits down solo on the mic to share his thoughts about Axl, and the incredible dogs we are so blessed to hunt with. Do they even know how incredible they are? The way they make us look good in the field, how they never ask for anything in return… Just a pat on the head, a ride in the truck, and maybe a spot on the couch when the hunt is done. Do they remember all the states we've hunted together? The retrieves that earned them a standing ovation? Or do they just do it because it's who they are? Because making us happy is all they've ever wanted? This episode is all about our duck dogs. It's about their drive, their heart, and the way they make our lives better every single day. Whether they're breaking ice in the marsh or just laying by our side when we're down, they don't need to prove anything to anyone. But if only they knew just how special they really are.
