In this episode, I am talking about how sharing our stories can lead to deep healing. I reflect on my own journey of speaking out about my experiences, particularly around the challenges of dealing with teen substance abuse and the misconceptions I held about healing. I emphasize that many of us often feel the need to have everything perfectly aligned before we share our truths, but this mindset can block our healing process. I share a pivotal moment from my past when I realized that speaking about my struggles not only helped me feel less alone but also opened doors to healing I never anticipated.

Emily Hosie spent over a decade inside some of the biggest names in off-price retail—Saks Off 5th, Holt Renfrew, and TJX—before launching REBEL, the first curated marketplace for open-box baby and home goods. After a year of being turned away by brands unwilling to admit the waste, REBEL secured major partners—and then a defining moment came. Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY filed for bankruptcy, and REBEL was tapped to process the returns. Overnight, volume surged and the tech had to scale fast. Today, REBEL processes 70,000 SKUs a week and operates a 300,000 sq. ft. facility in North Carolina. They've saved over 25 million pounds of product from landfill—all while becoming a go-to platform for Gen Z and millennial consumers looking for trusted brands at up to 50% off.

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity. Together, we unpack the dynamic relationship between curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and how this path can guide us to overcome fear and step more fully into our potential. Ben shares his personal story—sparked by a promise to his late mother—that led him to examine how people find themselves in powerful, unexpected places.We explore the idea that creativity isn't limited to the arts but is instead the ability to see things differently, solve problems, and bring ideas to life. Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

Berk Bahceci left a career in antitrust law in Washington, D.C., to build something deeply personal. Born in Turkey and raised around olive groves, Berk saw a massive blind spot in the U.S. market: despite being one of the top producers in the world, Turkish olive oil had no brand recognition on American shelves. So, he built one from scratch. In this episode, Berk shares how he vertically integrated Heraclea—from grove to bottle—and became the world's first Fair Trade certified olive oil company. We talk sourcing, scaling without a single customer, and why flavored oils like garlic and lemon are flying off shelves.

Mike Lombardo didn't come from food and bev. He was a college student, Army National Guard soldier, and drummer chasing big ideas. But when his high school swim teammate Kayvon began managing ulcerative colitis by mixing prebiotic tea, everything changed. The two co-founders started bottling it out of a brewery in New Jersey—selling to one Whole Foods, cold-brewing by hand, and making just $18K in their first year. Then COVID hit, and they scrapped everything. In 2021, they relaunched as Halfday: a better-for-you iced tea with 3–5g of sugar, 8g of prebiotic fiber, and branding that reimagined the Arizona and Snapple classics they grew up on. They pitched their first retail account from a hospital bed, filled their first PO with 60,000 cans in six weeks, and packed boxes themselves to make it happen. One press article brought in $10K in DTC sales overnight. Now, Halfday is stocked nationwide, building a brand that stands out in one of the most competitive categories in CPG.

The guys welcome on Sam Amico of Hoopswire.com, and he talks about the offseason for the Cavs, and his thoughts on the conference finals.

In this episode, I reveal why knowing your strengths and building the right support team is essential for a sustainable design business. Learn how to identify which tasks drain your energy, determine what type of support to hire first, and make the mindset shift from doing everything yourself to leading a team that complements your unique abilities. Plus, discover why "Control Freak" isn't a personality type—it's just a sign you haven't found the right support yet.Hope you enjoy the episodeBeth xxWhy Knowing Your Strengths is EssentialWhen you know your strengths, you unlock the ability to work more efficiently, enjoy your work more, make better decisions, and grow your business beyond just you.Not knowing your strengths leads to burnout. You end up trying to wear all the hats—bookkeeper, graphic designer, marketing strategist, admin fairy, tech support, and somehow still deliver amazing design work. It's exhausting and frankly, it's not sustainable.To identify your strengths, ask yourself:• What tasks light you up and feel easy?• What do clients rave about when they work with you?• Where do you consistently over-deliver?• What do you lose track of time doing?Conversely, identify what drains you:• What do you procrastinate on for weeks?• What tasks do you consistently think "I should have figured this out by now"?Your Strengths Aren't Just About SkillYour zone of genius isn't just about what you're good at—it's about what energizes you.The things that energize you, that's your zone of genius. That's where you belong. Everything else, that's where your support team comes in.Who Should Be on Your Dream TeamDifferent designers need different support, but these roles are common in successful design businesses:Admin/VA Support• Sending invoices and following up• Managing emails and calendar• Handling onboarding steps• Following up on proposalsYou shouldn't be sending out your own invoices and chasing them two weeks later. This one is best for designers who get stuck in the admin weeds and want to free up time to focus on client and creative work.Bookkeeper and AccountantUnless you love numbers, this one really is a non-negotiable. A good bookkeeper will keep you on track and make you feel less anxious when you open up Xero or QuickBooks.This support is ideal for designers who avoid looking at their P&L or don't even have one.Marketing or Social Media HelpIf showing up on Instagram, writing captions, or sending newsletters feels like pulling teeth, this might be your priority hire.Even a few hours a month from a marketing VA or copywriter can keep your studio visible and consistent. This one's really good for designers who know marketing matters but never make time for it.System SupportFor designers whose business feels held together with DMs, spreadsheets, and hope, systems support can be transformative.This one is close to my heart because you know how much I love a good process. This one is great for designers who want to scale, but feel like chaos is holding them back.Design Assistant or Junior DesignerWhen you're booked out and the next level isn't more hours but more help, bringing on design support makes sense.Even just starting with one to two days a week from someone junior who can take drafting, sourcing, or supply communication off your plate. This one is best for designers who want to keep growing without dropping the ball.Starting Small and StrategicYou don't need to hire all these roles at once.• Start with the hire that will give you the most energy or time back• Ask yourself what would immediately take weight off your shoulders• Consider what you would do with that freed-up time• Look within your current network for freelancers or part-time supportSupport doesn't always mean full-time or even part-time.The Mindset ShiftBeing a great business owner isn't about being a hero who does everything. It's about being a leader who knows where they shine and gets the right people around them to do the rest.This episode is essential for interior designers who are feeling overwhelmed by wearing all the hats in their business and ready to build a support team that allows them to focus on their zone of genius.

In this episode of Starting Small, we're joined by Charlie Weisman, founder of Staff, a brand that's redefining the most overlooked items in our homes. Staff started with a plunger—yes, a plunger—designed to be bold, colorful, and functional, a far cry from the bland utility items most of us keep hidden away. Charlie takes us back to the initial spark of inspiration during the pandemic, when he looked at his bathroom plunger and thought, "Why can't everyday essentials be fun and playful?" Charlie shares his process of bringing this vision to life, from early sketches and prototypes to finding the right manufacturers. He walks through the challenges of launching a product in a highly competitive market with no VC backing, using organic press and social buzz to build momentum.

Lulu's journey starts in China, moves through a tough transition to California, and ends up with her launching a company focused on personalized herbal care. After years of dealing with stress, hormonal issues, and a traditional corporate grind, Lulu turned to Chinese medicine to heal herself—and from that, Elix was born. She shares how she built the brand from the ground up, sourcing organic herbs, conducting clinical studies, and navigating the chaos of launching in 2020. This is more than just about products; it's about offering a new way to take care of your body by balancing the mind, body, and spirit.

In this episode I'm joined by Bartosz Skwarczek of G2A. He started G2A in 2010 with a small team and a big idea—create the world's largest digital marketplace for gaming products. What began in a small room in Poland with just six people has grown into a platform serving over 25 million customers in 180 countries. Today, G2A is the largest marketplace for digital goods, from games to software and gift cards. Bartosz shares how he made bold moves, from navigating tough early days in the steel industry to betting on the digital gaming market when it was still in its infancy. He talks about the risk of shifting from a store model to a marketplace in 2014—something that most people thought was impossible. But Bartosz and his team believed in their vision, and it paid off. Now, 15 years later, G2A has become an industry leader, and Bartosz is still looking ahead—focusing on AI, building stronger partnerships with influencers, and expanding into new markets.

Because before I had all of these things scattered around, and they weren't organized, and I wasn't doing them in a systematic way, things become sort of a little chaotic. So you can actually gain back more time by keeping things in a very consistent, repeatable process.” - Jen Davis   Let's talk about: The Importance of SOPs – Why having Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is crucial for business efficiency, consistency, and scalability. Starting Small with SOPs – How businesses can begin with simple checklists and templates instead of overwhelming, complex documentation. Time-Saving Benefits – How SOPs help streamline tasks, eliminate repetitive work, and free up time for more important business activities. Tools for Creating SOPs – Discussion of easy-to-use tools like Loom, Tango, Asana, and Google Docs to simplify the process. Continuous Improvement of SOPs – The idea that SOPs should be living documents that evolve with business needs, helping refine processes over time.

#294 In today's episode, we will discuss 15 side hustles that you can start today with little to no money! I've never really loved the term "side hustle" I don't love the word hustle and don't buy into hustle culture. And the word side hustle to me has always implied something you kinda did on the side and didn't take too seriously. But my perspective on this term has changed somewhere recently. A few months ago I started listening to a podcast called The Side Hustle Show with Nick Loper. The combination of hearing stories from Nick's guests on different side hustles they have started and interviewing and working with others who have started side hustles of their own either as a way to start their business or as a way to help make some extra income on the side has caused me to be more open to this term and open to the fact that not everyone is wired like me. And for some people that means starting something on the side that can either support their family for a season or later on turn into that thriving scalable business with systems and processes which is what I REALLY love! BUT you gotta start somewhere and for many, that means starting something on the side... In today's episode, Brien Gearin interviews the Kind of Side Hustle himself, Nick Loper, and they go into depth on 15 side hustles that you can start today! This has been one of my favorite episodes so far and I got a ton of value out of it personally and I have no doubt you will as well!

Trading spreadsheets for saucepans, he founded Yo Mama's Foods in 2017 with a mission to create pasta sauces made from simple, honest ingredients—just like his mom would. Bootstrapped from his personal savings, David built a brand now found in over 25,000 stores worldwide, with tens of millions of jars sold and a #2 ranking for marinara sauces on Amazon. In this episode, hear how David scaled Yo Mama's into the fastest-growing pasta sauce brand in the U.S. without a penny of outside capital.
