Amanda Northcutt is a six-time executive with 22 years of experience in consulting, startups, and marketing strategy. After leaving a high-paying Silicon Valley role, Amanda saw a gap: creators and subject matter experts with massive potential, but lacking the CEO-level operational expertise needed to scale. As co-founder and CEO of Level Up Creators and Level Up Creator School, Amanda now helps coaches and consultants build boutique, high-impact businesses that generate recurring revenue and generational wealth. On this episode we talk about: Amanda's journey from Silicon Valley to creator consulting—and why she left the tech world on her own terms The mission of Level Up Creators: helping experts and executives turn decades of business experience into thriving consulting and coaching firms Why most creators and consultants struggle with operations, productization, and scaling—and how Amanda's team bridges that gap The ideal client profile: business experts (typically 40–60 years old) seeking legacy, impact, and a business they love for the next decade How to productize services, escape the “time-for-money” trap, and build a business that fits your life goals The importance of targeting painful, pervasive, urgent, and expensive problems for a specific audience How to stand out in a saturated market by developing a proprietary methodology and building deep trust with your audience Why high-ticket, high-touch, low-volume offers are the fastest path to impact and income for most experts The power of partner marketing, niche podcast guesting, and relationship-based lead generation How to structure partnerships and collaborations for maximum leverage and mutual benefit The mindset shift required to start over in a new field and build credibility from scratch Top 3 Takeaways Productize and Specialize: Focus on solving urgent, expensive problems for a specific audience with a clear, proprietary methodology—don't try to be everything to everyone. Go High-Ticket First: Start with high-touch, high-value offers before expanding into lower-ticket products or communities; this maximizes your impact and income with fewer clients. Leverage Partnerships and Niche Media: Build relationships with peers, pursue partner marketing, and guest on niche podcasts to reach your ideal clients—don't chase only the biggest platforms. Notable Quotes “If you're selling vitamins instead of Vicodin, you are not going to make sales—especially in a tough economy.” “You should be spending 80% of your time on only the highest-leverage activities in your business.” “The most successful people are willing to humble themselves and start over in a new field—they don't care about losing status, they just want to do the work.” Connect with Amanda Northcutt: Website: welevelupcreators.com

Howland Center fundraises for portico, and beyond, to honor Northcutt Shortly after moving to Beacon in 2007, Thomas de Villiers, the vice president of the Howland Cultural Center's board of directors, recalls meeting Florence Northcutt, the center's longtime champion, who died last month at 97. De Villiers was sitting on a bench, reading a book, near his Main Street apartment when Northcutt, then 80 and president of the Howland board, parked nearby. "She had her dog, Major, who she took everywhere," de Villiers said. "She invited me to come inside. I said, 'I will, a little later.' " A couple of hours later, after an appointment, de Villiers walked into the ornate brick building at 477 Main St., which in 1973 became the first structure in Beacon to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There, he found Northcutt on a step ladder, patching the walls of the performance room. "She said, 'I need some help,' and I became a volunteer," de Villiers said. "She did that with just about everybody." That room was renamed Northcutt Hall in 2022. For the past year, de Villiers and the other officers - secretary Craig Wolf, treasurer Hannah Brooks and president Theresa Kraft - have overseen a campaign to raise $150,000 to restore the Howland's deteriorated portico and central facade (the front doors and everything above them). The 152-year-old building's need for repairs is never-ending, but the portico project dates to 2020, when the board discussed painting the wooden support columns. As they looked closer, they discovered rot. In other spots, aging brick needed repair, and the foundation was no longer sufficient to support the portico. So they launched Pennies for a Portico, named after a penny drive undertaken 26 years earlier by Beacon school children to help rebuild the slate roof. That effort, engineered by Northcutt, raised nearly $10,000. Students from Glenham Elementary raised $3,000 on their own. This time around, as hoped, coffee cans filled with bills and coins began to appear on the center's stoop. Board members found envelopes with cash left anonymously with the mail. Someone even left a 2-gallon orange Home Depot bucket filled with coins. Big checks came in, too. On May 20, the Beacon City Council agreed to renew a $50,000 community facilities grant that was awarded to the center in 2021 for facade improvements but had been deferred while it secured additional funding. The Howland also recently received $50,000 from the New York State Council on the Arts for the project. After accounting for revenue from a gala held last month at the Roundhouse, the board met its goal. The fundraising, however, continues, to cover the cost of materials and construction driven higher by inflation and "for the unseen that we'll uncover" when the project begins, Kraft said. The organization is working with architect Jeff Wilkinson and contractor Tom Clemmens, who specialize in historic preservation. Reconstruction is expected to begin this year and will include reinstalling scrollwork that fell from the roof's gables decades ago "and hasn't ever been seen by anyone alive," Wolf said. Board members said that seeing the project through to completion, and continuing to save for future rehab work, is a fitting way to honor Northcutt, who spent 38 years - including 21 as board president - promoting art, music, theater and all things cultural at the center. The building was acquired in 1978, two years after its first and only other occupant, the Howland Circulating Library, moved to 313 Main St. and became the Howland Public Library. A year after the acquisition, programming began under the Howland Cultural Center banner. The change in ownership happened "at a poor time in a poor town," Wolf said, but when Northcutt moved to Beacon in 1984, while still working as a speech therapist in Westchester County, she labored tirelessly to integrate the new center into the community. "She was very good at pulling people in and selling the c...

One of the most difficult things to do as a manager or leader is to take an ethical stance on something you believe in. Sometimes ethical stances are clear and you know you are doing what's right. Others are blurry, messy, and really weigh on your mind.

On this episode, we are joined by James Northcutt, an occupational therapist and certified hand therapist, to discuss brachial plexus birth injuries. James is the coordinator of the brachial plexus program at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. We discuss several aspects of this diagnosis from evaluation at birth or soon after, how to address the needs of these children, and some of the interventions these kids might receive to address their impairments. He also gives us some great therapy treatment ideas and how to help these children from infancy to adulthood.   Guest Bio: My career began in adult hand at Bay Area Rehabilitation Center in Baytown and after two years I applied for a position at Shriners Hospital despite not having the credentials they were seeking. Shriners took a chance on me, and I fell in love with caring for tiny humans. Five years in to practice I was given the opportunity to serve as the brachial plexus clinic coordinator and hand therapist at Texas Children's Hospital, a role I've been in for five years.  I am an adjunct professor for the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at Texas Woman's University lecturing on brachial plexus birth palsy, anatomy of the upper extremity and helping out in the cadaver lab. Special interests include innovation in care through a collaboration with the Engineering Program at Rice University and custom orthosis design for pediatric patients.   I enjoy woodworking and building lamps out of antique appliances when time allows, and my weekends are filled with family activities. I am honored to be considered for the ASHT podcast and hope to give back to the profession that has given me so much joy. I am married to my beautiful and brilliant wife Leah, who is the greater of two therapists in our home. We have two crazy boys Isaac (3) and Evan (1) who keep us on our toes and are responsible for most of my gray hair.
