Byzantine Empire Catering and Drunken Hen Eatery and WineryAmarildo "Mo" Boyco and his wife, who have backgrounds in the culinary industry, started the Byzantine Empire Catering Food Truck about seven years ago. The business combines Mediterranean and Latin cuisines, reflecting Amarildo's Albanian heritage and his wife's Colombian background. Recently, they expanded their operations by opening a brick-and-mortar establishment called Drunken Hen Eatery and Winery in Mayfair. Although guests can visit Drunken Hen during regular operating hours, your next event can be catered via Byz Empire Catering as well as the Drunken Hen, with a wide variety of foods to choose from. He explains that the Drunken Hen focuses on comfort food with a fine dining twist, and can offer that same level of service through Byz Empire Catering's food truck. Looking forward, Mo will be vending at this year's Summer Ale Festival at the Philadelphia Zoo on July 19th, and Northern Liberty's night market on July 23rd!

Chase just launched a new business credit card and rolled out changes to the Chase Sapphire Reserve—but are these updates actually worth getting excited about? In this episode, I'm joined once again by Kelly from The Points and Miles Doc for a candid review of what's new in the Chase ecosystem. From rising annual fees to underwhelming credits and a business card that looks a lot like what already exists, we're breaking down the updates—and what they really mean for your wallet. We also talk about how these cards stack up against competitors like Amex and Capital One, when the new benefits might be worth it, and why we're not jumping to add either of these to our travel strategy just yet. If you're holding the Chase Sapphire Reserve or considering a new business card, this episode will help you make a more informed decision.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/chase-sapphire-reserve-business-review-2025/ Want to shape the show?

In this episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I'm sharing practical advice for new and aspiring women B2B consultants aiming to reach their first or next $100K in revenue - including a brand new free resource just for you! I talk about the common challenges of defining your expertise, identifying your ideal clients, pricing and marketing, as well as the importance of taking action over endless planning!  Tune in if you want to confidently build a successful consulting business and finally embrace your entrepreneurial journey.   Quotes:  “If you build your business right, it will not be difficult to make your first $100K in annual revenue as a B2B consultant.” “I always say to my clients that the $0-$100K phase of a consulting business can actually feel like the hardest one to crack because you're validating the business. You're selling something sometimes for the first time in your career. And worse than that, you're selling yourself for the first time, which can feel so deeply uncomfortable.” “So often I speak to women who want to plan it out so that it's perfect, and then when they know it's guaranteed to work, then they'll put it out in the world. And I have to say, with love - no, no and no - this isn't how entrepreneurship works. There are messy workarounds and creative gaps and best guesses that we road test in the real world by talking to people.” Useful Links Free Guide: How To Get Your First B2B Consulting Clients Buy Too Much on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Join the weekly newsletter for women consultants Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Follow Jessica on Instagram

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I spoke to Joanna Lott about the realities of building a coaching or consulting business from the ground up. We explored the challenges new entrepreneurs face, from defining a niche and mastering marketing to overcoming visibility fears and developing a strong money mindset. Joanna also shared practical advice on leveraging personal connections, adapting to client needs, and embracing the messy, rewarding journey of entrepreneurship.  Whether you're just starting out or refining your approach, this episode offers actionable insights for growing a thriving consulting business. In This Episode:  [00:00:00] Joanna shares her background and motivation for helping coaches. [00:01:17] Discussion about the gap between coach training and actually building a business, and the misleading promises from training organizations. [00:03:21] Joanna describes the shock new coaches face regarding marketing, sales, and the importance of niching. [00:05:20] Clarifying the focus on executive and corporate-facing coaching, and the dual audience of organizations and individuals. [00:09:15] Advice on aligning marketing messages to organizational pain points and the importance of targeting decision-makers. [00:11:45] Joanna's advice on choosing a specialism, researching organizational needs, and being open in client conversations. [00:15:10] Discussing the discomfort around sales, visibility, and the money mindset issues new coaches face. [00:17:17] The value of reaching out to existing contacts for leads, and the vulnerability involved in doing so. [00:21:00] Stories about landing first contracts, learning to ask about budgets, and the evolution of pricing confidence. [00:23:58] The importance of being willing to fail, adapt, and learn from missed opportunities in proposal and offer development. [00:25:16] Encouragement to embrace high-ticket pricing and the reality that there's no single “right” answer in new service creation. [00:28:36] The role of resilience in entrepreneurship, celebrating growth milestones, and the emotional rollercoaster of early business. [00:31:58] Recognizing that business growth takes time, and the need to persist through uncertainty and discomfort. [00:34:40] Stories of how both hosts' businesses changed over time, and the importance of letting your brand and offers evolve. [00:38:38] Practical advice for new coaches. Key Takeaways: Visibility, sales resistance, and money mindset are the biggest hurdles. Getting over the fear of being seen and learning to confidently price your services are non-negotiables if you want to grow. Many high-value corporate contracts begin with a simple message to a past colleague. Be clear, be specific and always end with a question, not a full stop. Successful proposals start with curiosity. Don't cling too tightly to a pre-planned offer - let conversations with organizations shape what you deliver and how you position it. Quotes:  “The heartbreaking thing is that people just don't buy freedom or having a great life. They don't buy coaching. They buy the result that they want.” - Joanna Lott “I find clients get very attached to their offer. … If they just take a step back and really, really listen in those conversations, they could gain more opportunities. Because if you're trying to only pitch your one little offer that you've got in your head that you want to sell, it's really tricky. Get the other person talking as much as possible as to what their challenges are, and then essentially use your coaching skills to reflect everything you heard and decide at that point, if that's something that you want to offer or not.” - Joanna Lott “So I think it is being willing to learn and fail in public in front of people that perhaps you used to know. And yeah, not always knowing the right answers… There is no one right figure that's going to mean you are 100% guaranteed to get this contract.” - Joanna Lott “We can only learn in the trenches, in the sandbox, by getting our hands and feet dirty. That's the way it has to be.” - Jessica Fearnley “I often find those conversations that I get my clients having have a really fruitful outcome in terms of leads and sales. Even this year, I've got several clients who've made multi six-figure deals just by phoning up people that they've known for 20 or 30 years. It's such a quick win, but that can be such an uncomfortable thing to do because all of these things come up, like, ‘who am I to ask for this?'” - Jessica Fearnley   Useful Links Joanna:  JoannaLottCoaching.com 2025 Success Planner for Coaches Women in the Coaching Arena Podcast Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn   Guest Bio Joanna Lott is a business coach who helps qualified coaches attract clients with honesty, not hype.

Matt Dixon: The Activator Advantage Matt Dixon is Founding Partner of DCM Insights, a global training and advisory firm, and a leading expert in business development and client experience. His first book The Challenger Sale was a #1 Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestseller, and translated in a dozen languages. His newest book with colleagues Rory Channer, Karen Freeman, and Ted McKenna is The Activator Advantage: What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently*. At lot of us know the traits of the kind of person who's successful at attracting new business. What many of us don't know, is that what's working today is actually different than what we traditionally think. In this conversation, Matt and I a take a detailed look at the professionals who are landing the most new business – and what they're doing that works. Key Points The loyalty that once existed between professionals and their clients has changed substantially in recent years. A type of professional called an activator represents the highest performance in business development. Activators assume their best clients will leave at some point and are consistently working to build a pipeline of opportunities. Many professionals tend to protect client relationships. In contrast, activators actively bring colleagues into these relationships. Activators don't wait for inquiries. They meet opportunities happen by building relationships before paid work begins. Activators go way past birthdays and factual knowledge about others. They discover what's important to their clients as individuals. Activators go way past “as is” content and work hard to thoughtfully connect it to a prospect or client's situation.

Send us a textWelcome to T.A.C.E! From nurturing talent across a Global Banking Giant to launching her own Leadership Coaching practice, Tace Heuston's journey epitomizes the courage to embrace change and follow your passion. After 33 remarkable years at JP Morgan Chase, where she rose to become Global Head of Talent Development impacting over 30,000 employees, Tace has stepped into entrepreneurship with Training and Coaching Enterprises (T.A.C.E - see what she's doing there?!)The essence of Tace's approach to Leadership Development is beautifully simple: "The only thing holding you back is you." Throughout her career, she's been driven by an authentic desire to help others succeed, particularly women navigating workplace challenges. As the architect of JP Morgan's Re-entry Program, she created pathways for women returning to careers after family breaks, addressing the often-overlooked talent pool of experienced professionals eager to contribute again.What makes Tace's coaching distinctive is her rare combination of corporate wisdom and genuine empathy. She recognizes that senior leaders often lack safe spaces to be vulnerable about their challenges – everyone expects them to have all the answers. Through executive coaching, team development, and her signature "Thrive" program for women leaders, she creates that crucial space where authentic growth happens.Tace's personal philosophy of "be brave, do the things that frighten you most" guided her own leap into entrepreneurship. Drawing from her father's example as a business owner and her lifelong passion for nurturing others (which began when teaching Sunday school in her twenties), she's created a coaching practice that embodies her values of kindness, courage, and saying "yes" to opportunity.Ready to discover your leadership advantage?

Kyle Richards has received some heartbreaking news over the past week as the RHOBH new season cast announcement is expected to drop any day now. Jax has realized he is not meant to be in a relationship, to nobody's surprise, and Brittany seems to be loving the drama of this season on The Valley just a little bit too much. Gizelle's children have a message for Eminem as RHOP's new season celebrates with a Birthday party for Karen Huger despite the fact that she is in jail. New facts emerge in Teresa's new joint biz venture which seem shady, at best.

Although Corie initially left the family farm to seek a different career path, she circled back to her family's business later on. Her parents still run the day-to-day operations related to farming, however Corie took on a different role at Triple C Angus. Today, everything that the farm produces has to pass through Corie's hands to ensure they're offering the best cuts of meat to offer each customer. And to her, the individuals who purchase either pieces or shares of her family's beef, pork, and chicken are not just customers--they are part of her community. So not only does it matter that the animals they raise are well-cared for, it matters to her that she gets to know the people who purchase their products. To the Coles, family and community matters--and so does what they take home to eat. To learn more about Corie and Triple C Angus, stay tuned to hear her story and then visit the family farm and website for more information on what they offer.https://triplecangus.comGet the latest scoop from Irv's Ice Cream when you tune in to hear from Chef and Owner Ilissa Shapiro!

Welcome to another can't-miss episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan invites negotiation expert Mike Lander to shed light on a critical, and often misunderstood, stage of growing your agency: the art of winning new business and, crucially, negotiating strong client contracts. If your agency is hustling for fresh opportunities in the midst of economic uncertainty, this discussion is perfectly timed to help you secure the deals that matter—on terms that support your profitability and long-term growth. Mike Lander brings a unique dual perspective as both a former procurement director (the “buy side”) and current advisor to agencies navigating the “sell side.” Together with Drew, he explores why so many agencies trip up after being “awarded” new business, mistaking the proposal win for the finish line when, in reality, it's the starting point for some of the most pivotal work ahead. Mike reveals how agencies can better qualify opportunities, avoid that painful “close second” outcome, and, above all, approach negotiation with a mindset of mutual value creation rather than desperate discounting. The episode dives deep into actionable best practices you can deploy immediately—from building a robust qualification scorecard and prepping for negotiations, to mastering the art of trading instead of discounting. Mike and Drew also tackle the importance of agency differentiation, emphasizing why expertise and industry-specific knowledge trump generic promises of creativity or methodology. Plus, learn how to lead conversations with the kind of value, risk mitigation, and trust-building that makes your agency stand out in a crowded, competitive field.  Whether you're tired of burning countless hours on unwinnable pitches or want to strengthen your contracts for better client and agency outcomes, you'll find a wealth of insights in this episode. Get ready to rethink your approach to business development—and leave with concrete “homework” that will set your agency up for more wins, stronger partnerships, and greater profitability.
