If you own a 1–2 location med spa and want the option to scale or sell in the next 3–5 years, this episode breaks down what actually makes an aesthetics practice valuable — beyond surface-level revenue growth.  Strong revenue alone does not make your med spa sellable. Buyers care about predictability, repeatability, clean financials, and reduced owner dependency. In this episode, I'll explain what private buyers, partners, and lenders really evaluate when assessing the enterprise value of a medical spa.    Common Mistakes that Lower Your Med Spa's Enterprise Value  Whether you're years away from selling or just want to increase your business value, this episode will help you focus on the core elements that make your business not just worth running—but worth buying.   Even profitable, cash-flowing med spas can struggle to sell if:  Financial reporting isn't clean EBITDA isn't normalized The owner is still the bottleneck Systems aren't documented Growth depends on personality rather than process  Enterprise value determines whether your growth is transferable and durable.    From Owner-Dependent to Sellable Med Spa: A CFO's Perspective  You'll learn how to shift your mindset from emotional attachment to your work towards making smart, strategic, and financially sound decisions that attract the right buyers. From building clean financial infrastructure to understanding the importance of normalized EBITDA, I'm sharing real-world examples and reasoning, including why presenting trustworthy financials and reducing owner-dependency can make or break a potential sale.   Listen for these 6 key insights:  The difference between owner-dependent profit and institutional profit Why EBITDA normalization matters when selling a med spa How personal expenses distort financial optics Why clean financial infrastructure builds buyer trust How tax strategy can impact your exit valuation What buyers look for in multi-location aesthetic practices    Action Steps for Scaling and Selling Your Aesthetic Practice  If selling — or scaling — is even a remote possibility in the next 3–5 years:  Ensure your books are clean and up to date for at least 3 years Separate personal expenses from business operations Normalize revenue and expenses to reflect true operating profit Evaluate owner dependency in day-to-day operations Document SOPs for treatment delivery, leadership reporting, and financial processes Assess whether your med spa could operate without you for 60–90 days  If your practice cannot function without you, you've built an income stream — not an asset.    Thinking About Opening Another Location?   "The best thing you can do when you're exploring a transaction with a potential buyer is to establish trust through clean financials, establish that trust that they have reliable data they're working off of, and then everything else is seamless." - Shannon Weinstein    Before expanding, ask:  Are your current economics repeatable? Is your EBITDA consistent and defensible?  Could a second location follow the same financial blueprint?  Scaling without institutional structure multiplies risk. Scaling with documented systems multiplies enterprise value.    Financial Strategies to Prepare Your Aesthetics Business for Sale  If you want to evaluate whether your med spa is positioned for scale or exit, start with the Financial Scaling Playbook for Aesthetics.

Have you ever felt discouraged by suffering - either in your own life or in the world around you? Have you wondered if God is really in control? In Ephesians 3:1-13, Paul gives us a new perspective on the things that can discourage: lift your eyes upward and trust in God's steadfast, unshakable, eternal purposes as He builds His church.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, TJ, Talon, and Hollis study Know Who You Really Are and talk about confidence, identity, and the quiet ways we forget what is true about us. Through stories from scripture, seminary, and everyday life, they explore how insecurity grows when we search for validation in the wrong places, and how healing begins when we remember whose we are. The conversation highlights the power of the words we speak over ourselves and the difference it makes when we stop listening to the loudest voices around us and start listening to God.This episode is a reminder that your identity is not something you have to earn, it is something you are meant to remember. With practical insights on prayer, journaling, and creating space to actually commune with God, the hosts invite listeners to seek validation vertically, let God rewrite the narrative in their mind, and start believing the story He is telling about them. Because when you know who your Father is, you begin to see what is possible for your life.Chapters:00:00 INTRO05:07 "Intentional Prayer and Reflection"09:18 "God's Perspective on Insecurities"12:09 "Garrett's Unexpected Football Journey"14:28 "Walking with Jesus Daily"

Lindsey Roy opens up about navigating life-threatening health challenges, including a double lung transplant, and the lessons she learned along the way. She explores the intersection of traditional and alternative medicine, the power of listening to her body, and trusting her inner guidance. Through faith, community support, and a focus on gratitude, Lindsey shares how she became her own advocate and transformed her approach to wellbeing, offering inspiration for anyone facing challenges and seeking balance in life.  Key Takeaways:   Navigating life-altering health challenges requires trusting your own instincts and advocating for yourself.  Combining traditional medicine with alternative therapies can provide a more holistic approach to healing.  Listening closely to your body helps identify what supports your wellbeing and what does not.  Leaning on friends, family, and community creates a strong support system during difficult times.  Faith, gratitude, and moments of stillness can guide important decisions and foster resilience.  About Lindsey Roy:  Lindsey Roy has twice needed surgery to save her life. The first, a leg amputation after a traumatic boating accident and the second a double lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare and progressive disease which constricted the blood vessels in her lungs. These experiences, coupled with her natural gifts for speaking and writing, have created a passion in Lindsey to tell her story in the hopes of helping others tackle whatever obstacles life throws at them. She did a TEDx talk in 2017 titled "What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness" which has been viewed by nearly 200,000 people. Her story has been featured in major publications, such as O Magazine, Fast Company, Forbes, and Working Mother.  Lindsey's perspective is also honed by her roles as a corporate executive, mother, and wife. She is Senior VP Strategy & Brand at Hallmark, where she is leading various initiatives and groups—many of which draw from the lessons shared in The Gift of Perspective. She has a degree in Journalism & Advertising with a minor in Speech from Kansas State University and serves on many charitable boards, including Ability KC, Steps of Faith, and the Ad Council. Her greatest joy in life is spending time with her family—her husband Aaron and children, Mitchell and Morgan.  Connect with Lindsey Roy at:  https://www.instagram.com/lindseyroy26/?hl=en  https://lindseyroy.com/   https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Perspective-Wisdom-Gained-Losing/dp/1773271865/ref   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

What's the difference between a mistake… and a bad decision? My guest knows this only too well. Tom Hardin has been on the show several times before. As Tipper X, he wore a wire for the FBI and helped build the largest insider trading investigation in US history. Since then, he has spent nearly a decade speaking to organisations around the world about slippery slopes, rationalisation, and how good people drift into serious trouble. In this episode, he returns to discuss his new book, Wired on Wall Street. The book goes beyond the insider trading case many listeners already know. It explores the ambition, insecurity and desire for status that shaped his early career, and the patterns he only recognised years later when writing it down. For the first time on a podcast, Tom is also joined by his wife, Sue. She played no role in the trades that changed his life, but her life was dramatically altered by them. She reflects on discovering the truth, keeping a secret that wasn't hers, facing sentencing uncertainty, and what it means to rebuild together. This conversation isn't really about insider trading; it's about character.Key ThemesWhy calling something a “mistake” can soften accountabilityThe psychology of slippery slopes and rationalisationStatus anxiety and the need to belongResume virtues vs eulogy virtuesShame versus guilt — and why the distinction mattersThe hidden impact of ethical failure on spouses and familiesWhat writing a book can reveal that telling a story on stage cannotThe freedom that comes from having nothing left to hideTom's story is unusual; the human dynamics behind it are not.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – More than insider tradingWhy this conversation is about character — guilt vs shame, mistakes vs bad decisions, and the cost of ethical drift. 02:30 – The story in briefTom recaps becoming “Tipper X” and helping build the largest insider trading investigation in US history. 03:15 – Why write the book now?After a decade of speaking, Tom explains what finally pushed him to put the full story — childhood, ambition, insecurity — on paper. 08:00 – The deeper patternFrom Georgia to the Ivy League to hedge funds: the outsider mindset, status anxiety, and the slippery slope. 16:00 – Small decisions, big consequencesEarly corner-cutting, rationalisation, and the fraud triangle in action. 26:00 – Resume virtues vs eulogy virtuesHow Tom's definition of success changed — and the difference between shame and guilt. 31:00 – A simple test for integrityOne question that could replace most Codes of Conduct:Are you willing to be held accountable for this decision?

For White Cane week in February, this year we have a discussion with Elizabeth Lalonde about the recent completion of her Masters Thesis: --An Interpretive Analysis of the Effectiveness of Non-traditional or ‘Structured Discovery' Blindness Rehabilitation in Canada from the Perspective of Blind Service Recipients and teachers This week on Outlook we're speaking with Elizabeth about building confidence as a blind traveler and the difference between route training and the “structured discovery method” we've often spoke about on this show and of which Lalonde teaches at The Pacific Training Centre for the Blind, which she founded and runs on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. She tells us: Structure discovery, it can include routes. Sometimes that's the best way to get somewhere is you wanna learn the route. So it doesn't mean that it excludes more traditional forms of rehabilitation. It just means that it opens the door for other ways of perceiving your environment, learning to perceive your environment in a more holistic way." Elizabeth shares her lived experience of blindness growing up and connecting with an opportunity to “learn blindness skills” training which led her to want to bring the same sort of rehab program to others closer to home. She tells us about the non visual skills they offer at the PTCB and the “Blind People In Charge” program she launched with the help of a grant from the provincial B.C. government. Elizabeth recognises with non visual learning: “When you have sight, you just tend to use it, (you can't help it) so it can distract you from using your other senses to get around and to do things.” We talk about the hesitancy, whether new to blindness or not, for many of us to be afraid of wearing things like sleep shades to remove the distraction of any level of seeing when we're learning how to explore our environment, with all our senses and perceptions, during blindness rehab. We reflect on the types of messages on blindness and early O and M instruction we were given and training we were taught, we highlight the common sense and lived experience in the expression “the blind leading the blind” as sister/co-host Kerry relates that back to her most recent memory of the community and confidence-building that can come from traveling in a group of blind people, and we examine ways of adapting “structure discovery” for the individual and their specific intersectionalities and unique learning styles, Regular Outlook co-host Barry says: “We're getting taught static navigation for a dynamic world,” when it comes to how blind people receive orientation and mobility instruction. This conversational, truly from an international perspective along with our focus on Canada (with the thesis we're featuring for its historical significance to blindness rehabilitation anywhere) episode provides a fairly comprehensive bunch of topics that return, always, to the subject of Elizabeth Lalonde's thesis and our lived experiences with it. We at Outlook want to thank Elizabeth Lalonde for her hard work on presenting us all with a wider window on the landscape of blindness skills training here in Canada, on some more particulars around this thesis, and by doing this on completion of a Master's degree in Community Development from the University of Victoria. Your work on this topic will be an important study and resource of rehabilitation for the blind in Canada and beyond. Through multiple modalities: including literature study and interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA, a qualitative methodology) ) with interviews she conducted with both students and teachers of the “structure discovery model”, Elizabeth paints a clearer picture of the landscape of Canada's attitudes and offerings of blindness skills training.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this episode of Paige's Perspective, Paige dives into a conversation we don't have often enough: our own patterns. We spend a lot of time analyzing the behaviors and cycles of others, especially our partners, but rarely pause to examine the patterns we live inside of ourselves.Paige breaks down why patterns are so hard to recognize when we're in them, why they feel justified and situational, and how the same responses can quietly keep us stuck. She explores common patterns like falling off self-care when things feel good, caretaking at the expense of ourselves, and overthinking as a way to feel safe or in control.This episode isn't about blame or fixing yourself. It's about awareness, choice, and growth. When we can see our patterns clearly, we gain the power to interrupt them, respond differently, and evolve in ways that actually move our lives forward.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm joined by Jim Zimmerman, Founder & Fund Manager, and Abby Zimmerman, Research Analyst, of Lowell Capital Management to talk about their disciplined small-cap strategy built around what they call the “Fort Knox” balance sheet. At its core, it's about owning resilient, cash-generative businesses with little to no debt—companies that can not only survive volatility but use it to their advantage. We dive into why they focus on operating cash flow over EBITDA, how they hunt for overlooked “boring” niche leaders trading at value prices, what they look for in management teams, and why constant re-underwriting—“buy and homework,” not just buy and hold—is critical to long-term compounding in microcaps. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.

He highlights statistics showing a decline in dating frequency and the financial burdens associated with modern dating. The conversation delves into men's perspectives on dating as an investment, the shifting expectations in relationships, and the challenges posed by high living costs. Johnson emphasizes the need for a reevaluation of dating standards in light of financial realities, ultimately questioning the value placed on men based solely on their financial status.TakeawaysFinancial celibacy is becoming a notable trend among men.The cost of living is a significant barrier to dating.Many men view dating as a poor investment due to high costs.Expectations from women in dating are rising alongside costs.Men are increasingly opting for low-cost first dates.The average cost of dating can exceed $4,000 annually.Men feel their value is often tied to their financial status.Women are sometimes expecting men to cover additional costs like babysitting.The dating landscape is shifting with economic pressures.There is a disconnect between dating expectations and financial realities.The Financial Celibacy MovementDating in a Costly World"The rise in financial celibacy is real.""The cost of living is skyrocketing.""Men want low-cost first dates."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Financial Celibacy07:20 Men's Perspective on Dating as an Investment14:22 The Reality of Financial Contributions in Relationships

When Richy's wife walked away, it felt like everything he had built his life on came crashing down. What looked like the end became the beginning of a deeper work God wanted to do in him.   In this candid conversation, Richy shares what it has been like to stand for his marriage while his spouse is gone, and how God has used this season to awaken his faith and call him into true spiritual leadership. Richy began to recognize areas where he had fallen short as a husband and as a man of God, and how the Lord has been faithfully transforming him from the inside out.   Even though restoration has not yet happened, Richy continues to pray, trust, and stand on God's promises for his covenant marriage. His story is a reminder that God often changes us first by healing, refining, and preparing us before He ever changes our circumstances.   If you are standing for your marriage and wondering if God is still at work, this episode will encourage you to keep believing, keep praying, and keep fighting for what God can do.   The Prodigal's Perspective   Prayers for Victory    Follow on Instagram - @rejoicemarriageministries   Follow on Facebook - @rejoicemarriageministries   Every day, you can receive encouragement straight to your inbox through our Fight for Your Marriage Devotional and find free resources and prayers to pray over your marriage.

This week in our Love, Sex, & Dating series, we asked one defining question: what's the goal? Looking at Philippians 3 and 1 Corinthians 7, we were reminded that marriage isn't the goal. Singleness isn't the goal. The goal is to be like Jesus and with Jesus. Culture tells us life begins when we find “the one,” but Paul shows us that both marriage and singleness are gifts meant to point us toward eternity. When we make relationships the source of our joy, we'll always come up empty. Jesus isn't a means to an end. He is the end.

Are you a high-earning dentist… living paycheck to paycheck? Do you ever feel financially stretched – despite earning well? Are you trapped in dentistry's “golden handcuffs”? And what would your life look like if you worked because you wanted to… not because you had to? In this rare solo episode, Jaz steps away from occlusion and restorative dentistry to talk about something just as important: personal finances and career security for dentists. After going deep down the money rabbit hole — reading books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Simple Path to Wealth, and I Will Teach You To Be Rich — Jaz shares how his upbringing, early career decisions, and financial education shaped his beliefs about wealth, freedom, and dentistry. This isn't financial advice.It's a mindset shift. And for many dentists, it might be the most important episode you hear this year. https://youtu.be/4OXruGIdb_g Watch IC068 on YouTube Your day list reflects your earning power. The work you do each day quietly sets the limits of what you can earn. Exams and single-surface composites create one kind of ceiling; comprehensive cases, ortho, rehab, sedation, and complex restorative work create another. Upskilling changes that ceiling and gives you far more control over your financial future. Want more mindset shifts like this?AskJaz — your on-demand dental brain — is built into the Protrusive App. Key Takeaways High income does not guarantee financial security. Dentistry can become “golden handcuffs” without asset building. Invest in yourself early — skill drives earning power. Lifestyle creep quietly erodes freedom. Financial independence means practicing because you want to. Define your rich life and align spending accordingly.

Today's poem is Perspective, Coyoacán by Corey Van Landingham. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today's poem is an ekphrastic poem, a poem inspired by a piece of art. It opens with an epigraph that is a quote by Frida Kahlo. It strikes me now, reading that line of hers, that while she's talking about painting herself, it can also refer to writing about oneself.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

In this solo episode of Inspired Nonprofit Leadership, Sarah Olivieri explores the often-overlooked connection between focus and trust inside nonprofit teams. We talk a lot about alignment. We talk about clarity. We talk about strategy. But trust? That often gets treated like something abstract—something that either exists or doesn't. In this episode, Sarah breaks down a simple but powerful chain reaction: Focus → Clarity → Perspective → Confidence → Trust When a team is truly focused on a shared objective—whether that's raising more money, serving more clients, reducing hours, or building something meaningful—noise gets cut away. With focus comes clarity about what we are doing and what we are not doing. That clarity builds perspective. Perspective builds grounded confidence. And that kind of confidence—calm, steady, non-ego confidence—creates real trust. Not just internally. Externally, too. When your team trusts itself and trusts each other, the outside world can feel it. Donors, clients, and potential hires are drawn to organizations that are clear, confident, and aligned. People want to be part of something meaningful. They want to say, "I helped make that happen." Trust fuels high performance. It lowers drama. It increases results. And it all starts with focus. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why lack of trust often stems from a lack of focus How focus reduces hesitation, second-guessing, and friction The connection between clarity and team confidence Why confidence must be grounded—not ego-driven—to build trust How internal trust translates into external credibility Why donors, clients, and staff are drawn to clear, aligned teams Who This Episode Is For Executive Directors and CEOs leading growing teams Nonprofit leaders experiencing friction or hesitation inside their teams Organizations are trying to improve culture and performance Leaders who want stronger donor and stakeholder trust About Your Host, Sarah Olivieri Bold, strategic, and refreshingly human… Sarah Olivieri is the go-to expert for conversations on aligned leadership, outcome delegation, and sustainable growth.She brings wit, warmth, and real-world wisdom to mission-driven founders, visionary CEOs, and change-makers who want more clarity, more joy, and more results. Most leaders hit a wall when success depends on them holding it all together. Sarah helps them change that by redefining leadership around outcomes instead of activity, empowering teams to own results that scale and freeing leaders to focus on the vision that drives them. A former director of three nonprofits and founder of five businesses, she has a rare ability to spot opportunity where others see chaos, shift stuck patterns, and build organizations that support both legacy and life. Sarah leads with the same mindset that made her an award-winning sailor: iterate on what works, stay focused in the storm, and never forget the joy of the journey.

Life can change in an instant, testing our resilience, faith, and perspective. Lindsey Roy joins the show to share her journey from a traumatic boating accident that led to a leg amputation to a rare lung disease requiring a double lung transplant, revealing how these experiences reshaped her motherhood, leadership, and daily life. She reflects on trusting her body, leaning on community, and embracing vulnerability—showing how even the toughest challenges can inspire growth, gratitude, and a renewed sense of purpose.  Key Takeaways:   Life-altering challenges can become catalysts for deeper perspective, resilience, and purpose.  Trusting your body and advocating for your health are essential parts of healing.  Vulnerability in leadership builds trust, connection, and healthier work cultures.  Community, faith, and support systems help carry the weight when life feels overwhelming.  Adaptability and gratitude can transform limitations into opportunities for growth.  About Lindsey Roy:  Lindsey Roy has twice needed surgery to save her life. The first, a leg amputation after a traumatic boating accident and the second a double lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare and progressive disease which constricted the blood vessels in her lungs. These experiences, coupled with her natural gifts for speaking and writing, have created a passion in Lindsey to tell her story in the hopes of helping others tackle whatever obstacles life throws at them. She did a TEDx talk in 2017 titled "What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness" which has been viewed by nearly 200,000 people. Her story has been featured in major publications, such as O Magazine, Fast Company, Forbes, and Working Mother.  Lindsey's perspective is also honed by her roles as a corporate executive, mother, and wife. She is Senior VP Strategy & Brand at Hallmark, where she is leading various initiatives and groups—many of which draw from the lessons shared in The Gift of Perspective. She has a degree in Journalism & Advertising with a minor in Speech from Kansas State University and serves on many charitable boards, including Ability KC, Steps of Faith, and the Ad Council. Her greatest joy in life is spending time with her family—her husband Aaron and children, Mitchell and Morgan.  Connect with Lindsey Roy at:  https://www.instagram.com/lindseyroy26/?hl=en  https://lindseyroy.com/   https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Perspective-Wisdom-Gained-Losing/dp/1773271865/ref  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!We've been taught that not trusting people means something is wrong with us. That if we don't open up quickly, we must be closed off, bitter, or unhealed. I don't agree with that at all.In this episode of Paige's Perspective, I talk about why trusting everyone by default is not healthy and why trust should be earned over time. We explore discernment versus avoidance, why caution gets pathologized, and how trusting yourself first is essential, especially after living with addiction or repeated betrayal.Not trusting everyone isn't a flaw.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cathy Yoder SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW (CATHY YODER x RUSHION McDONALD) In this Money Making Conversations Masterclass episode, Rushion McDonald interviews Cathy Yoder, known as the Queen of Air Fryers—a mother of eight whose air‑fryer passion turned into a thriving social‑media‑driven business. Cathy explains how she learned to master air fryers, built a YouTube channel with massive growth, developed ebooks and cookbooks, and built a business through authenticity and service-oriented content. The conversation blends cooking education, digital‑branding lessons, entrepreneurship, and personal purpose. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. Educate Viewers About Air Fryers Cathy breaks down what an air fryer is, how it works, how to choose one, and common mistakes. 2. Highlight How Social Media Can Build a Business Rushion explores how she grew from a blogger to a YouTube creator with hundreds of thousands of followers and multiple revenue streams. 3. Inspire Entrepreneurs to Pursue Authentic Branding Cathy’s journey shows how consistency, authenticity, and audience connection can turn a simple idea into a successful brand. 4. Illustrate the Emotional Impact of Serving an Audience Her stories of widowers, overwhelmed parents, and new cooks show how content can genuinely empower people. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Air Fryers Are Mini Convection Ovens They cook faster, often require no preheat, and can grill, bake, roast, and more—but not everything (like wet batters or funnel cakes). 2. All Air Fryers Are Not Equal Cathy stresses choosing 6‑quart, ~1700‑watt models and avoiding units that are too small or underpowered. Size and wattage matter more than brand. 3. Her Content Strategy Was Data‑Driven Initial uploads in various recipe categories revealed that air‑fryer recipes consistently outperformed, so she went all‑in on that niche. 4. YouTube Growth Takes Time Her first monetization check was $1.36, rising to $146, then $300, then to $8,000–$9,000/month by the time she reached 100,000 subscribers. 5. She Generates Multiple Revenue Streams YouTube AdSense Amazon affiliate links E‑books (first launch made $15,000 in a weekend) Physical cookbooks (first batch of 500 sold out immediately) 6. Authenticity Builds Trust She films mistakes, includes her kids’ real reactions (including spitting out bad food), and refuses to promote products she doesn’t believe in. 7. Listen to Your Audience Comments guided her content direction (like dropping background music, creating cookbooks, responding to questions). Audience feedback = brand refinement. 8. Digital Marketing Tip: Serve People, Not Algorithms She emphasizes helping overwhelmed home cooks first—consistent service leads to trust, community, and natural growth. 9. Emotional Impact Matters Her biggest motivators are heartfelt messages, especially widowers learning to cook for the first time because of her tutorials. NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Air Fryers & Cooking “All air fryers are not created equal.” “If you can grill it or bake it, you can usually air‑fry it.” “Buying too small can make you come back and want to upgrade—now you’re wasting money.” On Starting Her Channel “My first check was $1.36… that’s a lot of work for $1.36.” “I believed I was filling a gap… there wasn’t enough good content.” On Content Strategy “They need to know within the first three seconds that you’re going to deliver on your promise.” “In the beginning, you just need to start publishing some crappy videos.” (On practicing, learning, and improving) On Authenticity “I will only share what I can authentically stand behind.” “If I make mistakes, I show them.” On Impact “If I was in a room with 10,000 people, that’s still a lot of impact.” (Perspective on viewer counts) “What matters is that person who felt hopeless now feels empowered.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
