In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Lee Stewart, a globally recognised sustainability strategist, educator, and author of How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy. Lee shares how sustainability has evolved from a buzzword into a core business imperative—one that directly impacts profitability, brand value, and long-term growth. Drawing from two decades of hands-on experience, Lee offers actionable insights on embedding sustainability into company culture and strategy. Demystifying Sustainability and Driving Real Impact Heneka and Lee unpack the misconceptions surrounding sustainability—like the idea that a single policy or small team is enough. Lee challenges this notion by stressing that sustainability must be woven into the fabric of an organisation, not treated as a side initiative. He defines sustainability simply: leaving the world better than you found it. Businesses, he says, must stop harmful practices, reduce waste, and create more resilient, value-driven operations. Empowering Change Through Strategy and Community Heneka highlights ongoing leadership events focused on values-driven entrepreneurship, and encourages listeners to embrace sustainability not just as a goal—but as a way of thinking. As the episode closes, Lee invites business owners to subscribe to his newsletter and enter a giveaway for a signed copy of his book. He reminds us that sustainability isn't a destination, but a journey that strengthens business, people, and the planet. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why sustainability is a long-term business advantage, not just a trend • How to identify and overcome common sustainability misconceptions • How SMEs can align with the sustainability goals of larger customers • Where to find high-quality, free sustainability education • Why leadership consistency matters in sustainability strategy • How to build momentum through small wins and clear goals • Why curiosity and adaptability are key to future-proofing your business COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Don't forget about the upcoming LeadHerShip Cruise, where leaders like YOU can network and grow aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas! This four-day event blends empowerment with transformative learning against the stunning backdrop of the Bahamas. For more details, contact heneka@henekawatkisporter.com or WhatsApp 876-849-2571. CONTACT LEE STEWART: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leestewart/ GIVE AWAY: One signed copy of my book to the first listener to email heneka@henekawatkisporter.com and say you've listened to this episode of The Entrepreneurial You. TRENDING NOW: Companies that adopt sustainable practices see a 20% increase in revenue growth compared to those that don't. Additionally, 88% of consumers say they are more loyal to brands that support environmental or social causes. Sustainability isn't just good for the planet—it's good for business.

Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the PreMarket Prep Show and Co-Founder of the Stock Trader Network, joins me for a wild trading session as the general US stock indexes blast to new all-time highs, and many tech and growth stocks have some very volatile trading in this risk-on environment. Key topics include: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq blasted up to new all-time highs in Thursday's trading session. We talk about what a different week we are having compared to what many projected we'd have, initially thinking the Trump reciprocal tariffs were coming off this week. Instead they were pushed back and the TACO trade is alive and well. Travel and leisure stocks surged, with notable moves higher this week from Delta Airlines and Royal Caribbean. This brings up the concept of “digital nomads” and how as many as 50 million individuals are taking their digital work with them to travel more and work in multiple destinations. Growth stock are in and value stocks are out. Berkshire Hathaway, one of the preeminent value stocks has been in a downtrend since May, coinciding both with the markets breaking higher, and Warren Buffett stepping down from the company he built over multiple decades. Tesla remains resilient, no matter how many tangents Elon Musk goes on publicly. Joel reviews technical levels in (TLSA), but points out that it is somewhat of a cult stock, and there always ends up being a bid come in for this “love stock.” There has been an unusual opportunity developing in the trading arbitrage since the new market darling CoreWeave, Inc (CRWV) announced its intention to acquire Core Scientific (CORZ). Joel breaks down how the pair trade evolved with a “buy the rumor sell the news” effect, and how there wasn't a good way to borrow short against CoreWeave, so the arbitrage got wider, but there was uncertainty on if the deal will go through keep some investors from buying Core Scientific. The gap is starting to narrow more, but it could still be a compelling arb-trade for those traders with the right risk tolerance temperament. MP Materials (MP) skyrocketed up roughly 50% on Thursday's session after the US government became their largest shareholder. US Defense Department just announced becoming MP Materials' biggest shareholder in a multibillion-dollar deal to boost output of rare earth magnets and help loosen China's grip on the materials used to build weapons, electric vehicles and many electronics.

What if the key to saving America isn't found in Washington D.C., but in the hands that rock the cradle? Join host Robert as he sits down with Kimberly Fletcher, founder of Moms for America, who transformed from a patriotic mom into a patriot after 9/11 when her Air Force husband narrowly escaped the Pentagon attack. With over 20 years of grassroots activism experience, Kimberly shares how God called her to start a national organization despite feeling completely unqualified—and how that humility became her greatest strength. Discover why Kimberly believes America's identity crisis can only be solved by empowering mothers, how the left wins through storytelling while conservatives fight with statistics, and why building relationships with legislators through birthday cards and thank-you notes is more effective than angry phone calls. From the power of the America 250 celebration to mobilize patriotism, to practical strategies for getting involved in the political process, this episode reveals how ordinary moms are becoming the extraordinary force reshaping American culture. Whether you're a seasoned activist or just waking up to the need for involvement, Kimberly's journey from homeschool mom to national leader will inspire you to step into your calling and discover the immeasurable influence you have simply by being who you are.

Discover why civic ignorance is rampant even among conservative Christian kids, how to balance truth and grace in our polarized culture, and why teaching students how to think biblically is more crucial than ever. Steve shares hard-won wisdom about moving from cultural warrior to grace-filled educator, plus practical insights for parents wanting to raise kids who can defend their faith with both conviction and love.

Brian shares practical strategies for maintaining innovation while protecting digital assets—highlighting how efficiency and security can coexist in today's fast-moving tech landscape.

He emphasises that efficiency doesn't mean cutting corners—especially in the age of AI where machine-generated code must still meet rigorous security standards. He reminds listeners that prioritising user trust early on leads to long-term gains.

He believes mentorship should be embedded into company culture, helping developers grow in tandem with the technology they build.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter is joined by serial entrepreneur, award-winning filmmaker, published author, and tech startup expert Jason Sherman. As the founder and CEO of Bingo AI and Vengo AI, Jason shares how creativity, storytelling, and perseverance are vital for startup success—especially when launching a tech venture without venture capital. Storytelling in Filmmaking and Startups Jason draws parallels between filmmaking and entrepreneurship, pointing out that both require you to build a narrative that resonates with a specific audience. Whether it's a movie or a product, the story behind it matters. He explains that his journey began as a young programmer selling products in school, which laid the groundwork for his ventures today. According to Jason, storytelling helps attract investors and customers alike—especially when it's backed by relatable experiences and data-driven results. Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Bootstrapping Jason and Heneka delve into common mistakes new entrepreneurs make when bootstrapping. A major one, Jason notes, is building too much too soon without proper validation. He urges founders to test concepts first and let market feedback lead the way. While intuition has its place, he believes data should always have the final say. Jason reminds listeners that real success stems from understanding what people truly need—not what we think they need. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why storytelling is crucial for both filmmaking and entrepreneurship • The most common mistakes first-time startup founders make • How to validate a product idea before launching • Why chasing tech trends can hurt your startup • The role of AI in boosting innovation and human evolution • Key strategies for building a startup without venture capital • The importance of ethical considerations in AI product development COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Now it's time for our Community Connection segment!
