Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   If you don't understand why there's a gap between where you are and your vision, you'll never persist with what's required to get you to your aspiration, nor will you be able to articulate why it's important to bridge this gap to others.   As we build our movement and our brand, we resonate with and invite others to follow us and become part of our movement from wherever they happen to be.   It's easy to get swept away with the vision and purpose of our movement and forget that we actually need to onboard others as they come along, whether their colleagues, compatriots, followers, other influencers.    Take those moments to look ahead, keep connected with your vision, and then evaluate the right shortcut to keep moving forward and the right milestones to keep on track.

S6E2 The Retail Growth Strategy Retailers Need for 2026 with Today's Economic Realities, Tariffs, Fed Moves, and Consumer ShiftsIn this powerful episode of The Retail Razor Show, Dr. Rebecca Homkes, London Business School lecturer, Duke faculty member, high‑growth strategy advisor, and author of Survive, Reset, Thrive: Leading Breakthrough Growth Strategy in Volatile Times, joins Ricardo and Casey to break down what retailers must understand about the economic outlook in 2026, shifting consumer behavior, and the strategic moves that separate winners from laggards.Rebecca explains why uncertainty is not a threat but a catalyst for growth, and how her Survive, Reset, Thrive (SRT) framework helps leaders stabilize quickly, reset strategy intelligently, and execute a retail growth strategy that works even in volatile conditions.

Consumers want their dollar to go further, not necessarily cheaper products.The middle of the market is the danger zone. Retailers must choose: differentiated premium or true value leadership.Retail growth strategy in 2026 requires testing, iteration, and abandoning legacy assumptions.Economic outlook in 2026 signals a decoupling between GDP strength and consumer reality: leaders must plan accordingly.Subscribe & FollowSubscribe to the Retail Razor Podcast Network: https://retailrazor.com/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://retailrazor.substack.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://go.retailrazor.com/utubeAbout our GuestRebecca Homkes, https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-homkes/https://www.rebeccahomkes.comAuthor, Survive, Reset, Thrive: Leading Breakthrough Growth Strategy in Volatile Times. https://a.co/d/0aXECIB2Rebecca Homkes, is a high-growth strategy specialist, CEO and executive advisor.

From Washington, D.C. to the Brooklyn waterfront, Lindsay Green shares how a career in finance evolved into a mission to transform industrial spaces into engines of opportunity for underserved communities.Lindsay Green is the President and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where she leads one of New York City's most ambitious models for inclusive economic development. With more than 550 businesses and 11,000 employees on site, the Navy Yard is not simply a real estate portfolio but a living ecosystem designed to create quality jobs and connect local residents to meaningful careers. Her work blends business strategy, workforce development, and community engagement into a powerful example of how cities can rethink the purpose of former industrial spaces.Her journey began in Washington, D.C., where daily exposure to economic disparities shaped her desire to work at the intersection of business and community impact. After studying economics at Harvard and starting her career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, she discovered urban development through the Urban Investment Group under Alicia Glen. Mentorship from leaders like Glen and MIT professor Phil Thompson helped her shift from traditional finance to mission driven economic development. A detour into the food industry after Yale School of Management eventually led her back to this work, culminating in her leadership at the Navy Yard in 2022.Lindsay explains how the Brooklyn Navy Yard goes beyond affordable real estate to support small, women owned, and minority owned businesses with mentorship, capital access, and technical advisory services. She highlights the Brooklyn STEAM Center, a public high school that gives 600 students hands on training with industry grade equipment, as well as new adult reskilling programs that recognize the value of both digital and analog problem solving. Through initiatives like the Micro Business Accelerator Program, she is building pathways for entrepreneurs to start small, grow, and scale within a supportive ecosystem.This conversation explores leadership, economic mobility, and the importance of early exposure to career possibilities. Lindsay's work demonstrates that revitalizing industrial spaces can do more than preserve history. It can create futures. Tune in to hear how thoughtful economic development can reshape communities and expand opportunity for the next generation.Chapters:00:00

I'm saying the quiet part out loud: if you don't build your sales muscle, growth stalls - no matter how talented you are. In this episode, Julia Arpag, CEO and Founder of Aligned Recruitment, shares with me how she went from five weeks postpartum and laid off to building a seven-figure tech recruitment firm by treating selling as service, investing early in mentorship, and using LinkedIn + networking like a real funnel.Julia's journey began in August 2023 when she was unexpectedly laid off while on maternity leave. What could have been a destabilizing moment became the catalyst for something extraordinary. While briefly accepting a W-2 role, she started selling for a friend's startup recruitment venture on the side. Within months, she closed three retainer clients. That early traction forced a pivotal decision: continue playing it safe, or step fully into entrepreneurship despite fears around sales, taxes, and “not knowing enough.” She chose the leap. Rather than trying to figure everything out alone, Julia invested her earliest earnings into mentorship by hiring an executive coach who had sold a recruitment agency for $28 million, a LinkedIn writing coach, and systems experts. Inspired by Carol Dweck's Mindset and the philosophy of “Who Not How,” she built her sales muscle, reframed selling as service, and adopted a growth mindset that became foundational to Aligned Recruitment's rapid success. She reminds us that for women entrepreneurs especially, seeking support is often the difference between staying small and scaling meaningfully. We also explored Julia's tactical wisdom as a recruiter, including why job seekers should treat their search like a sales funnel, how to optimize LinkedIn to be discovered, and why networking consistently outperforms cold online applications. At a deeper level, Julia challenges the idea that business success must come at the cost of personal well-being. Her philosophy is clear: build a business around your life, not the other way around. This conversation is a powerful reminder for all of us that profitability, purpose, and peace can coexist. Tune in to hear my conversation with Julia Arpag and how she is redefining what it looks like for women to lead, sell, and scale without losing themselves in the process. Chapters: 01:12

In this episode, Tiffany discusses why we have entered a pivotal season where true thought leadership is more critical than ever. Distinguishing between "influencers" and "leaders," Tiffany argues that in a world filled with noise and fragmentation, people are no longer looking for more information, they are looking for orientation.Tiffany shares her insights on the shift away from "bro marketing" and overly polished personal brands toward grounded, values-led leadership. She reframes thought leadership as an act of service and a responsibility, particularly for coaches, speakers, and authors who carry ideas capable of creating a lasting legacy. The episode also introduces Tiffany's signature framework: The Three Types of Thought Leaders, designed to help you identify your natural leadership style and show up with more intention and impact.Key TakeawaysOrientation > Information: In an era of AI-accelerated content, the role of a thought leader is to help others make sense of complexity and find their way through uncertainty.Thought Leadership is Service: Stepping into the spotlight isn't an act of ego; it's an act of responsibility. When true experts stay quiet, the void is filled by louder, shallower voices.The Power of Discernment: Our differentiator is no longer access to ideas, but the ability to provide discernment and guidance that people can trust.Own Your Perspective: Stepping into leadership requires giving yourself permission to be seen, heard, and even a little bit "triggering" to those who need to hear your truth.The Three Types of Thought Leaders:The Wayfinder: You help people make sense of complexity. You see patterns, connect dots, and articulate what others are feeling but can't yet name.The Builder: You turn insights into structure. You create the frameworks, methods, and step-by-step systems that allow people to implement ideas.The Catalyst: You are the spark for movement. You help people overcome fear, take brave action, and build immediate momentum.Mentioned ResourcesConnect with Tiffany on LinkedIn: Follow for daily reflections, frameworks, and real-time Thought Leader insightsWork with Tiffany: Branding, Websites and Messaging for coaches consultants, speakers, and authors looking to turn their ideas into a movement.Final Thought from the Episode:"You don't have to lead like anyone else; you just have to lead like you... This is the year true thought leaders are going to rise, and we're going to rise together."QUOTES1. "People are not looking for more information; they're looking for orientation."2. "Thought leadership is not about ego; it's about responsibility."3. "When true experts stay quiet, the void doesn't remain empty. Instead, it gets filled by louder voices and shallower ideas."4.

Paige Arnof-Fenn shares how to stop competing on price by sharpening brand positioning, owning a niche, and turning reputation + referrals into consistent demand.In this episode, Paige Arnof-Fenn shares her journey from investment banking to branding powerhouse and discovering her true calling in marketing, building a distributed firm long before remote work was mainstream, and detailing how to turn expertise into profitable, high-impact businesses. Paige is the founder and CEO of Mavens & Moguls, a global branding and digital marketing firm that has worked with clients like Microsoft, Virgin, The New York Times Company, and Colgate. Her path to entrepreneurship didn't begin with a clear plan, but with a series of courageous pivots that led her from Wall Street to marketing leadership at P&G and Coca-Cola, and eventually to building her own agency. Along the way, she learned that success is less about following a script and more about honoring the parts of work that energize you.The turning points in Paige's story are rooted in self-awareness and bold action. After realizing investment banking didn't align with her values or passion, she shifted into marketing, first through business school, then by shaping brand strategy at major corporations and startups. She watched the internet industry emerge in the late '90s and embraced it, later using the post-9/11 job market as a catalyst to launch her own business. What could have been a moment of fear became the start of a 24-year journey building a thriving firm with a distributed team across multiple cities and countries.Paige's most powerful insights center on clarity, niche, and validation. She encourages women entrepreneurs to treat themselves as a brand, not a commodity, and to build businesses based on real market research, not friendly feedback. She champions differentiation through specificity, sharing how dominating one niche beats trying to please everyone, and explains how profitability is the foundation for meaningful impact.Paige's story is a celebration of women's leadership, resilience, and the power of building businesses that create real change. If you're ready to rethink what entrepreneurship can look like, and how to build it with intention and confidence, this conversation is for you. Tune in and be inspired.Chapters00:56

Skilled trades are facing accelerating retirements, rising customer expectations, and rapid advances in AI—putting the field service industry at a critical inflection point. Industry estimates suggest millions of frontline roles could go unfilled over the next decade, even as technology promises to automate more tasks than ever before. The stakes are high: decisions made now will determine whether organizations future-proof their workforce or permanently lose hard-won field knowledge.So, how can leaders in service-based industries adopt new technology without losing the human expertise, relationships, and culture that make service work?That's the focus of the latest episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, hosted by Greg Crumpton, featuring Sarah Nicastro, Founder and Editor in Chief of Future of Field Service. Together, they explore the intersection of leadership, frontline work, technology, and communication—digging into what it truly takes to build resilient service organizations in a time of massive change.What you'll learn…Why peer groups, storytelling, and shared learning are essential to combating isolation in the skilled trades.How AI can support (but never replace) frontline expertise, mentorship, and human judgment.The leadership and communication shifts required to attract, retain, and develop the next generation of field service professionals.Sarah Nicastro is the Founder and Editor in Chief of Future of Field Service, a global thought-leadership platform dedicated to service-based businesses. She is also the Principal Evangelist at IFS, a leading provider of service management, enterprise asset management, and industrial AI solutions. A recognized industry voice, Sarah was named one of HDI's Top 25 Thought Leaders of 2025.

Jake Braund (Portfolio Manager, Wealth Management & Institutional Services at Associated Bank) joins Steve Grzanich in today's Associated Bank Thought Leader conversation to discuss where interest rates stand, where they may be headed, and why the Federal Reserve's independence is critical to the financial industry.

This special episode of CFO Thought Leader explores how finance leaders develop not through authority or technical brilliance, but through moments that reveal emotional intelligence. Drawing on recent conversations with Kevin Rubin, Toby Driver, and Bruce Schuman, the episode highlights a consistent pattern: leadership is forged through judgment, empathy, and self-awareness when stakes are high and answers unclear. Structured in two parts, the episode first examines formative moments that reshaped how CFOs think, featuring Shelagh Glaser, John McCauley, and Joe Euteneuer. It then shows how those lessons are applied in practice—through difficult decisions, organizational change, and trust-based leadership under real pressure.

From courtroom litigator to emotionally intelligent mediator, Katherine Eisold Miller shares how she is reshaping divorce into a process grounded in clarity, compassion, and agency for women navigating one of life's hardest transitions.Today, I sit down with Katherine Miller, founder of the Miller Law Group and a New York-based divorce attorney, mediator, author, and podcast host who is changing the cultural conversation around divorce. Coming from a family of therapists, Katherine saw early in her legal career that traditional litigation focused on winning rather than helping people through deeply personal crises. Her work now centers on mediation and emotionally savvy decision-making, empowering women to move through divorce without losing themselves in the process.Katherine opens up about her early years handling hundreds of child welfare and litigation cases and the moment she realized there had to be a better way. With nearly all divorces settling outside of trial, she chose to pursue mediation training to help people make thoughtful decisions aligned with their real priorities. That pivot marked a powerful shift from adversarial problem-solving to collaborative clarity, especially for women who often carry the emotional and financial weight of family transitions.We dive into the art of listening beyond surface-level demands to uncover what truly matters, whether in divorce, entrepreneurship, or leadership. Katherine explains how interrupting destructive conflict patterns creates space for solutions that honor both parties' needs. She also shares why conversations about money, prenuptial agreements, and financial values are not signs of failure, but foundations for stronger partnerships and healthier outcomes.This conversation is a reminder that leadership begins with self-trust, preparation, and the courage to ask better questions. Katherine's insights offer women permission to approach divorce without shame, fear, or defaulting to systems that do not serve them. If you care about agency, emotional intelligence, and building a life that reflects your values, you will want to listen all the way through.Chapters

From navigating Wall Street during the financial crisis to building wealth strategies for women who are reshaping the economy, Emily Green shares how she became a powerful advocate for women taking control of their financial futures.In our conversation, I sit down with Emily Green, Head of Wealth Management at Ellevest, a company founded by Sally Krawcheck to close the persistent investment gap facing women. Emily's career began at J.P. Morgan, where she quickly noticed a troubling pattern: male founders were consistently better prepared and better supported when selling businesses or going public, while women were left without the same level of financial advocacy. That realization led her to Ellevest, where she helped build the firm's wealth management division from the ground up, effectively launching a startup within a startup.Emily opens up about the pivotal transition Ellevest made after selling its robo-advisory business in 2024, a bold decision that required letting go of an early identity to gain clarity around serving high-earning and high-net-worth women more deeply. We talk about how women's relationships with money evolve over time, shifting from budgeting and day-to-day decisions toward life trade-offs, fulfillment, and legacy. Emily also shares how her clients' wealth comes from diverse paths, like corporate leadership, early tech roles, entrepreneurship, and investing, reflecting a growing desire for alternatives to traditional banking models.This talk dives into the historic wealth transfer underway and why women will be at the center of it, controlling an estimated fifty percent of U.S. wealth by 2030. Emily introduces the idea of “wealth care,” reframing money as a tool to maximize life rather than an end goal. From examining inherited money beliefs to treating personal finances like a business, she offers grounded, actionable guidance that can save women millions over their lifetimes.If you're ready to rethink money, leadership, and long-term impact, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Chapters

Show SummaryOn today's episode, we're featuring a conversation with Navy Spouse Patty Sandoval, Founder and CEO of HomeFront Haven, an organization that provides clinically informed community support to military spouses and partners before, during and after a deployment so that no one carries the homefront alone. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you. If you PsychArmor has helped you learn, grow, and support those who've served and those who care for them, we would appreciate hearing your story. Please follow this link to share how PsychArmor has helped you in your service journey Share PsychArmor StoriesAbout Today's GuestPatricia “Patty” Sandoval, is a proud military spouse and public health professional. She built HomeFront Haven™ after experiencing mental health struggles during her husband's deployment in 2023. During that period, Patty found that there was a critical need for evidence backed care focused on supporting positive mental health outcomes among military spouses and partners. During the deployment, Patty kept hearing “You knew what you signed up for” and friends would reassure her that she'd be “ok.” Instead, Patty found herself exhausted, anxious, and feeling incredibly alone.  To ensure that others wouldn't have to experience the same journey, she sought to advance a preventative approach to mental health.HomeFront Haven™'s model prioritizes community-based support as a critical strategy to reduce reliance on crisis care systems. Instead of asking spouses and partners, “Didn't you know what you signed up for?” this program asks, “How can we support you, so you don't have to carry the home front alone?”Links Mentioned During the EpisodeHomeFront Haven Web SitePsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is The PsychArmor course Accessing Health Care.

As we enter 2026, the landscape for thought leaders and entrepreneurs has fundamentally changed. In this episode, host Tiffany reveals what she calls "The Invisible Shift", a profound identity transition from being a traditional expert to becoming a true guide.She explains that in an era saturated with AI-generated content and information abundance, your audience is no longer looking for "more" information; they are looking for discernment, grounded leadership, and a clear path forward. She dives deep into why most leaders feel they are constantly outgrowing their messaging and why the secret to scaling with ease lies in branding for your future self (3–10 years out) rather than where you are today.Key TakeawaysThe Identity Shift (Expert vs. Guide):Experts explain "what" and deliver information.Guides orient the way, helping people navigate the "how" and "why" while making decisions in uncertain times.The Scarcity of 2026: While information is everywhere, there is a massive scarcity of discernment, grounded leadership, and trust. People want someone who can say, "Here is what matters now."Stop Branding for the Present: The #1 mistake entrepreneurs make is branding for their current status. This causes your brand to "lag" behind your growth. To manifest goals faster, you must brand for the leader you are becoming in 5 to 10 years.The Power of Alignment: When your brand architecture is built for expansion, you move away from constant "reinvention" and "hustle" and toward a state where your offers sell themselves because they make sense energetically and strategically.The Brand Operating System (Brand OS): Having a trademarked system allows you to evolve without burning out. It shifts you from a "reactive" state to a "leading" state.Reflective Questions for Your Brand:1. Is my brand built for where I am now or where I'm going?2. Does my messaging reflect my future vision or my past identity?3. Where am I still reacting instead of intentionally designing my brand and business?4. Am I showing up as a guide or an expert to my audience? And how can I show up more as a guide to myself?Mentioned ResourcesThe ALL NEW Brand Clarity Workshop Series: An all-new methodology and workshop designed specifically for the 2026 era of leadership.

I'm opening 2026 by claiming clarity as my word for the year and sharing an honest reflection on where She Leads has been and where it is going next.In this solo episode, I share my personal journey after eleven years of serving women entrepreneurs through She Leads Media and what it means to step into a new chapter with sharper vision. A simple moment, getting new glasses, became a powerful metaphor for how deeply I'm craving clarity in my work, my focus, and the women I'm best positioned to serve. I talk candidly about the tension between wanting to help everyone and knowing that real impact requires intentionality, boundaries, and depth. At the heart of my work has always been deep listening, trusting that women already hold their own answers and need space, reflection, and support to access them.I also unpack the realities of entrepreneurship that rarely get airtime, especially for women. The same habits we bring into life, procrastination, self-doubt, resilience, show up in business, shaping outcomes for better or worse. Drawing from my teaching at NYU and Rice, I explain why foundational self-awareness matters more than any tactic or trend. I challenge the glossy, quick-fix narratives that dominate online marketing and speak honestly about the sustained effort and inner work required to build something meaningful.This episode is also a turning point. I reflect on my own realization that the current She Leads model will not reach the million-dollar scale needed to expand impact and why that matters. As I enter what feels like my third professional chapter, I share my vision for supporting women who have reached or are approaching seven figures and are asking deeper questions about purpose, burnout, and legacy.If you are craving clarity, wrestling with growth, or sensing that your next level requires a different way of leading, this conversation is for you. I invite you to listen in, reflect alongside me, and help shape the future of She Leads as we redefine what it means for women to truly lead with intention, sustainability, and impact.Chapters✨ 00:56 Welcoming 2026 with clarity and intention

In this Planning Aces special episode, CFO Thought Leader brings together three finance executives operating in very different industries—but facing remarkably similar planning challenges. David Lee of WEBTOON, Cristina Kim of Octaura, and Zane Rowe of Workday share how FP&A has evolved from a periodic planning function into a continuous decision system. Across global consumer platforms, fintech infrastructure, and enterprise software, each CFO explains how they use leading indicators, forecasting discipline, and real-time data to guide resource allocation. The conversation highlights how modern FP&A enables faster learning, sharper prioritization, and disciplined adaptability in an environment defined by rapid growth and accelerating change.

What's really stopping you from becoming the thought-leader you're meant to be?In this episode of Daily Path Podcast, I break down the real reason so many capable, successful entrepreneurs hesitate to step into thought-leadership — and how to fix it.If you've ever caught yourself thinking:“I want to be a business coach… but who would actuallypay me?”“I want to share my story… but who would listen?”“I want to write a book… but what if no one buys it?”You're not alone — and you're notunqualified.I explain why doubt isn't a skill issue, confidence issue, or experience issue. It's an identity issue.Drawing from personal reflection, conversations with 6–8 figure entrepreneurs, and a powerful devotional insighton “embracing the new you,” this episode explores why so many people stay stuck seeing themselves as who they used to be — even after life and success have clearly moved them forward.In this episode, you'll learn:Why successful people stillstruggle to own their voiceThe hidden cost of staying silentafter you've already succeededHow to audit your circle so itsupports who you're becoming — not who you wereA simple reflection exercise toreconnect with the growth you've earnedWhy thought-leadership starts withpermission — and how to give it to yourselfHow to practice the identity ofthe thought-leader you're becoming (not just talk about it)The truth is simple: You already have the experience. Youalready have the results. The only thing left is embracing who you are now. If you're ready to stop doubting your voice and start leading with it, this episode is for you.-------------Ready to step into thought leadership and build a podcast that attracts high-ticket clients?

What did "great thought leadership" look like when the market wouldn't sit still, the C-suite couldn't sleep, and yesterday's playbook was already obsolete? In this Best of 2025 compilation, we pulled together four standout conversations that got brutally practical about relevance, differentiation, and turning ideas into outcomes. Keith Ferrazzi broke down the real challenge behind "evergreen" ideas: keeping the core principles intact while continuously connecting them to what leaders were worrying about in the moment—AI, volatility, and competitive pressure. The throughline was methodology. Not hot takes. Not vibes. A repeatable way to stay current without becoming a trend-chaser. Then Keith pushed into what he called "teamship"—the underdeveloped layer in leadership thinking. Not how leaders gave feedback. How teams gave each other feedback. Not how a boss held people accountable. How peers did. He was blunt about the data: most teams were mediocre, and many avoided conflict when the stakes were highest. Stephanie Chung reframed a politicized topic into a clean leadership platform: how you led people who were not like you. Not as a slogan. As a set of tools for leading across real differences—generation, gender, neurodiversity, ability, identity, and more. It was a leadership operating system for a workplace where "one-size-fits-all" was dead. Michael Horn brought the "jobs to be done" lens into career strategy with Job Moves. The value here wasn't motivation. It was decision quality. A structured way to avoid moves that looked right on paper and still landed wrong in real life—and to reconnect your thought leadership to the unique value you actually provided. Paige Velasquez Budde got tactical about thought leadership as a visibility engine. She called out the fantasy metrics (overnight bestseller, one big hit, last-minute PR) and replaced them with a grown-up approach: start early, build credibility over time, and use targeted "micro media" to drive the outcomes that mattered—leads, authority, and premium positioning. We've learned a lot from our guests in 2025, this episode provides valuable information on taking your platform to the next level, staying relevant, and finding success in 2026!
