"How tf do you manage all of us?"   That question came out of a mastermind call and it inspired this entire podcast episode!   In a nutshell: I have 3 main things. They allow me to serve clients well AND be a whole person—and mom, and wife, and daughter, and friend, and all the things.   To give you some context, I have 39 clients right now—15 in TDE, 13 in the TDE continuation, 9 in the mastermind, and 2 one-on-one clients.   Now I've had way more than 39 clients at once in the past! But a lot of them were in programs that I had at the time that were not as hands-on.   The way things are right now, my offers are high-ticket and high-touch. And I'm bringing you behind-the-scenes to show you exactly how I do it—and you can, too!   Do not neglect your business just because you are so deep in serving clients. It will bite you in the butt!   I promise you can do both! I do both and I know you can do both, too.   Share any follow-up questions you have with me—send me a DM on Instagram. I love hearing from you!   → Come say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney → Sign up for the Weekly Edge Newsletter: https://meganyelaney.com/newsletter-opt-in  → 10X Is Easier Than 2X Book: https://amzn.to/4bU8EMc

[THE DISTINCTIVE EDGE CLIENT CASE STUDY] What does it look like to move from "I'll join next year" to a full-body gut yes—and then watch your business immediately start to click? In this case study-style episode, I sit down with Deb Driscoll, founder of The Be Her Collective, whose North Star is "reminding women just how frickin' magical they are." Deb supports women to reclaim their intuitive wisdom, remember who they are, and step into heroine status—and reminded us all that intuition + strategy is a lethal combo when you finally give yourself permission to be fully seen. Deb shares the honest behind-the-scenes of what it felt like to invest (hello, excitement + nausea), how old scarcity stories almost kept her out, and why she decided TDE would be the "pathway, full stop." Then we get into what actually changed: the framework, the messaging clarity, and the (surprise!) sales support Deb didn't realize she needed—especially the power of private invites to enroll clients without a big launch. If you've ever felt like your work feels "too intangible" to explain clearly… or you're tired of spinning in circles trying five different strategies at once… this one will hit. In this episode, we cover: Why Deb joined The Distinctive Edge (TDE) and what made it feel like "the risk that has reward" The difference between a true "not now" and a scarcity-based "no" How Deb stopped the "I know so much" expert spiral by becoming a beginner again (TDE school energy) The real key to making a "vague" or intuitive transformation feel tangible and clear in your messaging Why your signature framework can become your one message, one mission across offers What made the material reviews so powerful (and why "knowing the why" matters) How Deb used private invites to start 2026 with clients already enrolled (without a traditional launch) The underrated ROI: community, connection, and not building your business alone Quotes you'll remember "This feels risky, but this is the risk that has reward." "I unsubscribed to so many people… I'm listening to myself, and I'm listening to Meg." "I start 2026 not just as a business owner. I'm a woman on a mission."

This episode kicks off by honoring the legacy of Walter Scott Jr. of The Whispers, followed by a look ahead at what's on deck — from the XXL Freshman Class and Brandy & Monica's tour to whether Red Lobster is making a real comeback and if hip-hop is in a flop era or simply evolving. The team first celebrates their TikTok blow-up, sparked by a clip on Gen Z knowing Nas, diving into why people are surprised, whether classic hip-hop is quietly resurging, and how TikTok keeps older music alive. Next up is a heated take on the 2024 XXL Freshman Class, debating who deserves the spotlight, who's just hype, and whether the list still shapes careers like it did for legends such as Cole, Uzi, and Megan. The crew also reacts to Cardi B's upcoming album “Am I The Drama,” questioning if adding hits like “WAP” and “Up” is fair game. In Segment 3, they cheer on Brandy & Monica's joint tour, hoping it sparks more women-led R&B collabs, and discuss Cash Cobain's impact on today's performance-heavy scene. Then it's a deep dive into TDE's Punch's take on hip-hop, asking if the genre's being drowned by clout, algorithms, and fan short attention spans — and if labels like TDE and Dreamville can steer things back to art over hype. The hosts also share who they'd love to A&R or executive produce for, old or new. For some lighter fare, the crew debates Red Lobster's big push with seafood boils, wondering if it's a tasty comeback or just nostalgia bait — and they shout out their own guilty-pleasure chain restaurants. We wrap by taking listener reactions and posing key questions: Is XXL still relevant? Has hip-hop lost its soul? And who's pulling up to Red Lobster?

If you've ever worried that getting more specific with your niche might limit your business… this episode will seriously inspire you. Today I'm talking with my client Sabra Cawby, a functional hormone specialist, functional nutritionist, and certified personal trainer — about how clarifying her expertise led to her becoming the go-to name for gut + hormone health for women over 35… and brought in her best business months yet. But Sabra's path wasn't instant. When we started working together, she was still feeling hesitant about whether she was “qualified enough” to claim her expertise — sound familiar? (

What happens when you finally know how to tell your story — and SELL with it?

Produced by J. White Did It, it samples 50 Cent's “Back Down,” delivering a sinister West Coast sound. Vaughn's relentless bars target Joey's career, Pro Era's relevance, and alleged Diddy ties, with lines like “You was signed for like twenty and still ain't got motion.” Dropped post-Joey's “My Town,” it fuels the East-West feud.

Comment and let us know who you think it is. We have voicemails! The first is from a woman who is married but still in love with her ex and wants advice on how to move forward (1:22:58), and the next is from a teacher is trying to figure out a way to make certain inappropriate slang stop being used in her classroom (1:46:30).
